A new title match has been confirmed for tonight’s episode of Monday Night RAW, as Penta is set to defend the WWE Intercontinental Championship against Je’Von Evans.

WWE officially announced the bout via its website, confirming that the championship match will take place during the broadcast from the Schottenstein Center in Columbus, Ohio.

“Intercontinental Champion Penta continues to build his reputation as a true fighting champion as he prepares to battle the dynamic Je’Von Evans in a title match. Find out who will leave Raw with the title, tonight at 8 ET/5 PT on Netflix.”

The announcement comes just two days after Penta successfully retained the Intercontinental Championship against Ethan Page at Saturday Night’s Main Event on May 23. Rather than taking time off, the champion is immediately scheduled for another defense, highlighting WWE’s current presentation of him as an active titleholder.

Evans is no stranger to high-stakes opportunities. He previously challenged for the Intercontinental Championship at WrestleMania 42, competing in a six-pack ladder match where Penta ultimately retained the title. This upcoming match now gives Evans another chance in a one-on-one setting.

Penta has held the Intercontinental Championship since defeating Dominik Mysterio in March. His reign has now reached 84 days and is nearing the three-month milestone, adding further importance to each defense.

Tonight’s episode of RAW serves as the final show before WWE Clash in Italy, scheduled for May 31 in Turin. With momentum building heading into the event, this title match could play a key role in shaping the championship landscape.

Here is the announced lineup:

• Oba Femi opens the show
• Roman Reigns and Jacob Fatu contract signing for the Clash in Italy Tribal Combat match
• Bayley and Lyra Valkyria vs The Judgment Day (Raquel Rodriguez and Roxanne Perez)
• Intercontinental Champion Penta defends against Je’Von Evans
