Winners and NEW Women’s Tag Team Champions, Rhea Ripley and IYO SKY!
Grade: B-
Good way to kick off Raw. These four mesh well together regardless of the combinations. Also, they either all love each other or absolutely hate each other; this match was stiff as a board. Great nearfalls and a cool finish. Good stuff here.
GUNTAAH!
Gunther runs down John Cena. AJ Styles interrupts. Gunther cuts Styles off and tells him he’s punching above his weight and to back away. Gunther does John Cena’s taunt in Styles’ face. Styles slaps Gunther and dares him to do something. Gunther bows up but doesn’t act. Styles says, “that’s what I thought.” Styles tosses the mic at Gunther and walks away.
Grade: B
Here it is. They have been teasing Gunther/Styles for weeks now. This may be the first time these two have worked with each other, which is an exciting prospect. Gunther is going to cut Styles in half when they fight.
Women’s Intercontinental Championship Match: Maxxine Dupri (c) vs. Becky Lynch
Lynch and Dupri trade takedowns and submission attempts. Dupri surprises Lynch with a Thez press followed by punches. Lynch rolls out. After a series of reversals, Dupri boots Lynch’s face off. Dupri tries to work the Ankle Lock, but Lynch keeps escaping. Lynch cuts Dupri off up top. Superplex by Lynch. Lynch holds on and hits a DDT for a two count. Dupri counters a powerbomb with a rolling Ankle Lock. Lynch turns the hold into a pin with her hand on the ropes for extra leverage for the win.
Winner and NEW Women’s Intercontinental Champion, Becky Lynch!
Grade: C+
This was weirdly the least exciting of all of their matches. Dupri is clearly working very hard, and you can see her improvement. Being in with Lynch definitely helps, but we can’t take away from Dupri’s progression. The finish of this one fell flatter than a pancake.
USO!
The new World Tag Team Champions, The Usos cut a promo from the crowd about this year being the year of the Usos. This is a warning shot to the entire tag team locker room. Anyone who wants some can step up. Yeet!
Grade: C
The purpose of this seemed to be just for Jimmy and Jey to issue this faint challenge to anyone, and they mean anyone who wants to step up. Wonder what the Hardy Boys are up to next Monday Night…
The Devil’s Kiss
Women’s World Champion Stephanie Vaquer thanks the crowd for believing in her. Vaquer is in a walking boot due to an injury suffered last week. 2025 was an amazing year for Vaquer. Raquel Rodriguez attacks Vaquer from behind. Rodriguez repeatedly slams Vaquer’s walking boot into the mat before hitting a powerbomb. Referees and officials hit the ring. Rodriguez grabs a chair and attempts to Pillmanize Vaquer. Raw GM and several officials step in and stop this from happening.
Grade: C+
Not sure why they continuously shove a mic in Vaquer’s hand. Her promos will improve over time, but segments like this don’t help working like Vaquer. That said, Rodriguez’s attack afterward was perfect. Sidenote, does Vaquer not have friends?
Liv Morgan w/Roxanne Perez vs. Lyra Valkyria w/Bayley
Valkyria is in control early, with a series of strikes and a Northern Lights suplex. The fight spills out of the ring. Morgan sends Valkyria into the ring steps. After the break, Morgan reverses Nightwing into a nasty code breaker. Perez low bridges Valkyria. Bayley chases Perez away with a chair. Back in the ring, Morgan surprises Valkyria with Oblivion for the win!
Winner- Liv Morgan
Grade: B-
Good return match for Morgan. She looked sharp in there with Valkyria. This one had all the makings of a mess with all the potential outside interference. Thankfully, they didn’t go that route.
World Heavyweight Championship Match: CM Punk (c) vs. Bron Breakker
