Raw Deal - Raw recap for January 26, 2026

"The Phenomenal" AJ Styles heads to the ring to start tonight's show. He brings up Gunther's claim that he will end his WWE career at Royal Rumble, then proclaims that he is not going anywhere. He also make it clear that 2026 will be the year that he retires. Styles says he wants to enjoy retirement along with the fans, especially when John Cena took all of 2025 to say goodbye to do the same, and mentions that there are a lot of people he would love to wrestle one more time. He also mentions that he wants to be world champion one more time. Styles then states that Gunther may be good, but he is not phenomenal. Suddenly, CM Punk shows up and heads to the ring. Punk mentions his twenty-plus year history with Styles and states that there is nothing but respect between them, then wants to know what Styles is doing putting his career on the line against Gunther, especially when the two of them still have a lot of moments to make. He also tells Styles that he has watched his career during their friendship and feels that the stakes are just too high. Styles takes this as Punk thinking he cannot beat Gunther, but Punk says he knows Styles can beat Gunther. Punk says that if Royal Rumble does not go Styles' way, then the two of then cannot square off in a WWE ring. Styles, admitting that he knows that Punk is not coming across in a such a way, says that Punk is being disrespectful, but Punk says he is more selfish than anything. Styles says he can beat Gunther, and he knows that he can Punk. Punk says that if Styles loses, the world will never know for sure, and that leaves him at a loss as to what to do. Styles proposes that they face each other tonight, and if he beats Punk tonight, he will be #1 contender for the World Heavyweight Championship if he beats Gunther at Royal Rumble. Punk says that he promised to be a fighting champion, and if they are going to do this tonight, they are going to do this for the championship. He then accepts Styles' challenge for tonight with the title on the line. Both men then shake hands.

He then states that the table has been set and that The Vision welcomes Pearce's presence. Pearce heads to the ring, and Bronson has to hold Breakker back. Pearce says he is not here to make excuses or apologize for wearing his heart on his sleeves, then admits that things got out of hand. He apologizes for putting his hands on Breakker first and states that this will not happen again. He also announces that Breakker is no longer suspended and is in the men's Royal Rumble Match. Heyman thanks Pearce and offers to shake Pearce's hand, then puts Logan Paul, Bronson Reed and Austin Theory in the Rumble as well.

In footage from earlier today, Michael Cole interviews Gunther. Gunther says he has nothing to gain if he beats "The Phenomenal" AJ Styles, but now that he can beat him for his career, he has something phenomenal to gain. He says he is sick of all the "old-timers" overstaying their welcome and chasing one moment after another, proclaiming that those moments belong to him, and that he is not interesting in Styles taking away moments that belong to him. He also states that Michael Cole falls into that category as well and asks Cole how long he will stick around to chase another moment, then says he could end his career right now. Instead, he wants Michael Cole to call his match with AJ Styles at Royal Rumble and proclaim that Styles' career is over. Gunther laughs and says it is going to be great and memorable.

Backstage, General Manager Adam Pearce is met by Finn Balor, who declares for the men's Royal Rumble. Pearce says the men's Rumble is full, but Balor still wants in.

CM Punk heads to the ring to start tonight's show. Punk talks about how he returned for championship gold only to be sidetracked along the way, then states that he is back on track towards winning a world title. He admits that Gunther is one of the best wrestlers in the world and that he looks forward to lacing up with him, and with the fans' support, he promises that he will leave it all in the ring and give everything he has at SummerSlam. He says that he only has two weeks to prepare for Gunther, but he has been training for this for his entire life, as he is not just any other wrestler or challenger; he is the best in the world. Suddenly, Gunther shows up and heads to the ring. The crowd chants "You tapped out!" at Gunther before he can ever speak, then Gunther syas he is not here to throw insult at Punk or create any drama, but to point out similarities: they are here to make money and win championships, and both consider themselves the best. He admits that they both have massive ego, but while the fans have waited for Punk to return for years, his own ego is justified and based on results. He says the best in the world is the man who holds the World Heavyweight Championship. Gunther says he only concentrates on what happens after the bell rings, and after the bell rings, he will make Punk regret he ever stepped foot in a wrestling ring and make Punk realize he was right when he says Punk will never be the best in the world and win his title.

Becky Lynch heads to the ring. Becky takes exception to the boos and says she should be in New York City for the premiere of Happy Gilmore 2, but she is here instead, because that is what leaders do and she has important business to discuss. She talks about how she narrowly won at Evolution and did what she did what she said she would do, then says she was honest about it while Lyra Valkyria keeps bogarting opportunities for other women. She asks who needs two championships despite being a double champion in the past, and says Lyra's ambitions are completely selfish. Becky then calls Lyra out to the ring. Lyra shows up and heads to the ring, and Becky says that they are one for one in singles competition and that she made her a star, but the trilogy ends at SummerSlam. Becky states that this time, if Lyra loses, she can never challenge her for the Women's Intercontinental Championship ever again. Lyra says that every time she takes care of a problem, it comes back to haunt her, probably because she never goes far enough. Lyra accepts the challenge, stating there will be no count-outs or disqualifications and that there must be a winner. Lyra says that every time she takes care of a problem, it comes back to haunt her, probably because she never goes far enough. Lyra accepts the challenge, stating there will be no count-outs or disqualifications and that there must be a winner.

Paul Heyman, Bron Breakker and "Big" Bronson Reed head to the ring. Heyman states that he stands with the future of the industry in Breakker and Bronson, then says that he has a lot of things to get off his chest before Roman Reigns arrives, which Roman does before Heyman can utter another word. Heyman states that he does not want to come off as disrespectful or rude, and tells Roman that Seth "Freakin'" Rollins will be out of action "for a long, long time." He then says that this opens up a leadership void and that they can fix things and put them back together, as Roman knows deep in his heart that they are far better together than opposing each other. Heyman says Roman will always be his family, because "I love you, my Tribal Chief." He then hands Roman the microphone. Roman says that a few years ago, he would have considered that "wise words from a wiseman," but he does not consider Heyman a wiseman anymore; he considers him a dumbass. Breakker and Bronson hold Heyman back, and Roman warns them that Heyman will do what he did to him in a few years and try to take all the credit, stating that he, not Heyman, created "the Tribal Chief." Roman says he is still Tribal Chief because the fans acknowledge him, and because he was the greatest champion of all time. He says Heyman had a hand in that, but not in keeping the championship, stating that The Bloodline ("Main Event" Jey Uso, Jimmy Uso, Sami Zayn, Solo Sikoa) made that all happen. Roman admits that he lost the title, then states that Heyman claimed that he tucked tail to do whatever when he was really raising "the future Bloodline." Roman claims that Heyman thought The Bloodline was just another wrestling faction when they were really family, which Roman claims is "God's work" as he proclaims that Heyman could never make The Bloodline. He then states that what really bothers him is that Heyman was just a business partner when he made him part of the family, and that Heyman threw it all away for a best friend that he had not talked to in order a decade. Roman then credits Heyman for ruining The Bloodline. Breakker takes the microphone and tells Roman that he is not wanted anymore, as he is "yesterday's news" and only relevant five years ago, and is only taking a spot in his ring. He says that Heyman will not stab him in the back because he holds value in WWE while Roman is worthless, and proclaims that he is "the big dog" now. Breakker then tells Roman to do what he does best and turn around and leave, and Roman says that he did not hear a word Breakker says and to use his microphone. He tosses his mic to Breakker, then hits him with a Superman Punch. Roman then hits Bronson with several punches, but Breakker hits Roman with a Spear. Breakker and Bronson gang up on Roman, and as Bronson goes for a tsunami, Jey Uso shows up and fights the both of them. Roman and Jey then simultaneously Spear Bronson and Breakker at the same time to end the show.

Here's this week's Raw Recap!

Raw Deal - Raw recap for May 26, 2025

Seth "Freakin'" Rollins, Bron Breakker, "Big" Bronson Reed and Paul Heyman head to the ring to start tonight's show. Heyman puts Breakker and Bronson on a pedestal while introducing them as only he can, and also mentions that CM Punk is not here thanks to Bronson Reed, who Heyman says is considered so dangerous by WWE that WWE will not put top tier talent in front of him. He then praises the sacrifices that Rollins has made to make the business bigger and better than ever, calling Rollins the most generous man he has ever met in his life. The fans chant "We want Roman" before Rollins says the four of them are not just the vision, but his vision and his way of securing the future through total control, total domination and complete power. The fans then chant "You sold out!" before Rollins proclaims he said what he was going to do at WrestleMania and did it, and when the fans chant "Fuck you, Rollins!", Rollins accuses the fans of questioning his integrity five minutes after singing his song. The fans then sing his entrance theme again, and Rollins finds humor in the situation, saying the fans do not know right from left and that they consider him the bad guy when he is the only one capable of leading WWE into the future. He says that the power he seeks comes through championships, and that he would have the World Heavyweight Championship if it were not for Sami Zayn and CM Punk. This leads to another "CM Punk" chant, and Rollins states that Punk found out what happens to those who underestimate him, and that Sami Zayn will find out tonight, as he has found something more powerful than championships: the Money in the Bank Briefcase. Rollins announces that he will qualify for Money in the Bank, win the contract, and cash in when, how and who he wants, and that nobody will be able to stop him, calling it complete domination and total power.

El Hijo del Vikingo is seen in the crowd.

Backstage, Sami Zayn speaks with "Main Event" Jey Uso, saying he should have gone after Seth "Freakin'" Rollins at the start of the show, but Jey Uso says they must be smart about their actions.

Bert Kreischer and Tom Segura are seen in the crowd.

The New Day (Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods) retain the World Tag Team Championships against American Made (Julius and Brutus Creed) and The War Raiders (Ivar and Erik) after Xavier Woods grabs the tights while pinning Julius Creed with a schoolkid pin as The New Day have American Made convinced that they are temporarily working together against The War Raiders.

"Main Event" Jey Uso heads to the ring. Jey says that Logan Paul and John Cena will "get yeeted on" at Money in the Bank before Gunther shows up. Gunther congratulates Jey on retaining against Logan Paul and on fifteen years in WWE, and says that Jey has held on to the World Heavyweight Championship longer than he expected and commends him on wanting to be "captain of the ship" on Raw. He admits that Jey has great qualities for a human being, but states that those are terrible qualities for a champion and that Jey does not know better, as being World Champion does not come natural to him. Gunther says he was champion for almost a year because he only had himself to care about, and that Jey does not have the intellect to carry himself as a great champion, and in two weeks, he will relieve him from that position and make things right when he chokes him out. Jey says he is done with everyone saying his days as champion are numbered and using the title as an excuse to turn one's back on friends and family, as he fights for them and they fight for him. He says that what Gunther is fighting for is less than what he fights for, and that he has Gunther figured out. He says he will see him in two weeks, and that at the end of the day, he fights for the fans and he will make him tap him out again.

Three-time Stanley Cup Champion Patrick Maroon, rapper Waka Flocka Flame, and Titus O'Neil are seen in the crowd.

Lyra Valkyria heads to the ring. Lyra wishes she was facing a new challenger for the Women's Intercontinental Championship, then says Becky Lynch has talked herself into a title rematch at Money in the Bank. She says she has nothing left to prove by beating her twice, and while she felt like the ultimate winner against all her other challengers, she felt no satisfaction after beating Becky, who acted like she won the match afterwards. Lyra says she just wanted to pin Becky to the mat for three seconds at Backlash, but she got in her fiancée's face and tried to take her out, and now, it is personal. Lyra then says she will hurt Becky at Money in the Bank and break her ego, and if she has to bash her head in, then she will do it. Becky shows up and says Lyra cost her her opportunity, and says that she was done with her, saying that while Lyra won the match, she won the night, and says Lyra cannot let things go because she is the best thing to ever happen to Lyra and her title. Lyra tells Becky that this is not how it works and that people are talking about her because she beat Becky, and Becky proposes that if Lyra can beat her again, she will never challenge her for the Women's Intercontinental Championship again. Lyra says she has no problem with that, especially after she beat her the second time around with her eyes closed. Becky also says that if she wins, Lyra has to look her in the eye and raise her hand like she did for her when she beat her for the NXT Women's Championship. Lyra says she has never had a problem raising the hand of anyone who has ever beaten her, then says that Becky has yet to beat her.

Backstage, Sami Zayn runs into Karrion Kross, but Sami tells Karrion he has no time for his mind games. Karrion tells Sami that he will never win the title as Sami walks away, but Sami tells Karrion he will deal with him later.

Raw Deal - Raw recap for May 12, 2025

In memory of Terrance Brunk "Sabu" 1964 - 2025.

CM Punk heads to the ring to start tonight's show. Punk says that it has been three weeks since WrestleMania, yet he still cannot shake being pissed off. Punk then says he is most pissed off at himself, as this is not the first time Paul Heyman has stabbed him in the back. He talks about how Heyman hit him in the head with a ladder and left him with thirteen stitches in his head, and while "Main Event" Jey Uso tried to warn him about Heyman, Heyman is who he has always been: "a fat little snake." He says that he knows how this ends as he has been down this road before, and he cannot wait to get his hands around Heyman's neck and choke him until his eyes pop. Heyman makes his presence known, and CM Punk tell Heyman to explain why he did what he did and that the words he chooses will be his last, then Seth "Freakin'" Rollins and Bron Breakker show up. Seth Rollins says that when CM Punk cannot possibly get any more egotistical, he tops himself. He says that Heyman was Punk's best friend, yet made his life hell on the road to WrestleMania and is gaslighting everyone into believing Heyman betrayed him. Rollins says that Heyman believed in Punk for years when no one else did, then calls Punk "scum," "trash" and "human excrement" and says his belief was the right one. He says that when he thinks he cannot hate Punk any more than he already does, he realizes that Punk is the reason he is not World Heavyweight Champion. Punk says Rollins will never be champion as long as he is on two feet. Rollins thinks that Punk is a masochist and loves to play the victim, then says that if Punk really wants to be a victim, then that can be arranged, and hopes Punk has prepared his last works before siccing Breaker on him. Punk and Breakker brawl in the ring, and Rollins gets in the ring and watches before Punk fights back and gets a piece of Rollins. Breakker attacks Punk from behind, and Sami Zayn suddenly shows up to even the numbers, but he too is overpowered by Breakker.

"Main Event" Jey Uso heads to the ring. Jey says he may have a big target on his big back, but he needs to get something off his big chest. He addresses Logan Paul's belittling of him and says it is just them at Saturday Night's Main Event, where he will walk out as champion. All of a sudden, Gunther shows up and says the unimaginable came true and that Jey Uso became World Heavyweight Champion, then says Jey is not used to being a champion like he is and "is not a natural champion." Gunther then announces that whoever wins between Jey Uso and Logan Paul will be the one handing the World Heavyweight Championship over to him, and one month from now, he will challenge the winner for the title. Gunther hopes that it is Jey Uso, as he wants to shut him and the fans up for good by outclassing Jey and showing him where his class is. Jey says he is in his place, and after he beats Logan, he will beat Gunther and walk out champion.

We hear from Iyo Sky, who says she tried to show Roxanne Perez last week only to be attacked from behind by Giulia. She says neither of them deserve respect, and that tonight, they will both learn just like Bianca Belair and Rhea Ripley that no one can stop her and that no one will take her title.

Becky Lynch is in the ring. Becky says Lyra was beaten on Saturday, not her, as Lyra went to the hospital while she basked in her brilliance, because even after everything Lyra did to her, she still made Lyra the best version of herself, gave her her best match, and made her matter like never before. She says that after the bell rang, she did not hear defeat, but an alarm ringing in her ear, because she realized how much she has been manipulated not just by Lyra but also the fans, and says she walked out for a year because the fans wanted her to. She questions why she is here if she is not winning world champions and that she has always been for the people, and says that she and the fans were in it together until she won and the fans could not deal with that. Becky says the fans hate what they cannot understand after stating that all she knows is failure, and while she missed being in the ring, she liked herself more when she was not surrounded by the fans and their lies. She says she did not have to spin her wheels to prove who she was, then says that she is whatever the fans say she is, whether it is greedy, selfish or cutthroat. Becky then proclaims that the women's locker room is about to find out that her fire is back and find out what it is like to be held down by The Man.

We hear from Rusev, who says that he does not want to do any of this and that he just wants to go home and be rich, but he was once programmed by lesser people, and he cannot leave his brothers until they all wake up. He says the fans do not care if the wrestlers miss their families or if their mission is to hurt or be hurt. He talks about how Akira Tozawa stepped up to him only to get decimate, then tells everyone to get off their knees. He says it will hurt him to hurt everyone, but he would rather they fall at his hands than to fall out into the abyss.

Backstage, General Manager Adam Pearce meets with Akira Tozawa, who wants a match with Rusev. Sheamus shows up and gives credit to Tozawa for standing up to Rusev, then meets with Pearce. Sheamus wants to keep his momentum going with a match against Grayson Waller, and Pearce gives him the match.

He sits down in the middle of the ring cross-legged and addresses CM Punk, references his initial AEW return, stating Punk only came back because someone wrote him a big, fat check. He then says that Punk only returned to WWE because he was written another big, fat check, then says Punk likes to pretend to care about the fans and about WWE and declares him a liar, a fraud and a coward. Rollins also says that Roman Reigns also pretends to care about the fans and does not even pretend to care about WWE, and only cares about himself, stating "Roman Reigns is in the Roman Reigns business." After claiming that Roman loves it when the fans love him, Rollins says that only he knows everything about sacrifice, as opposed to Punk and Roman, who he claims knows nothing. He then states that it all started with his debut in The Shield as a shield for Punk, and says that despite his sacrifices, he got none of the credit, as the camera was always on Roman Reigns, who he says was hand-picked. Rollins then talks about how he made every show and sacrificed everything that he had while Punk was being chanted for, and even when his knee was hanging on by a thread as his father died of cancer, he was there to ensure Roman Reigns lost. He says the story started twelve years ago when Paul Heyman him and Roman into WWE, and that it will end at WrestleMania 41, and he promises that he will do exactly what he has done all those years and lay it all on the line and sacrifice all that he has to ensure that the business moves forward, and that is not a prediction, that is a spoiler.

Iyo Sky suddenly arrives, but before she can utter a word, Bianca Belair also makes her way to the ring. Bianca says she was showing up after her name was mentioned, then says that tonight will be her last night on SmackDown when she wins the Women's World Championship and refuses to give it up any time soon. Naomi suddenly shows up and says she has been trying to get to Bianca, but Bianca tells Naomi that she knows what she did and that she said what she said and meant it. She says Jade Cargill was not there for Bianca like she was, and as she says she will take care of business with Jade tomorrow, Jade shows up.

Cena tells Cody to shut his mouth before Cody speaks and says this will be his 20th WrestleMania and his 12th title match at WrestleMania, and it will be the last time he ever wrestles at WrestleMania. He says nobody has ever went out the way that he is going out, and that Cody cannot prepare for a man who is prepared to die. Cena says this is so unprecedented because it has never been before and that there is always one more match, and says every other wrestler needs these people because they are insecure losers and that they are alone the moment they leave the business and come back a pathetic shell of their former selves. Cena says he is here to take the WWE Championship away from everyone forever, and that he warned everyone, including Cody, having warned him that the championship would get heavier and heavier and that he will lose it because he cares too much for the fans. Cena says the fans do not write history; winners do. Cena then admits that he found it impossible to beat Cody at WrestleMania until Cody refused to sell his soul, saying he sold his soul to the fans a long time ago. Cena says that Cody no longer stands a chance, and that the fans do not matter, for they will always make their own version of the truth that they want to believe. He says Cody will be able to do whatever he wants if he stops believing in the fans, but he is too weak for that. Cena then tells Cody that he will have to choose between believing what is right and winning. He says Cody is good, but he is scared, insecure and naive, and that Cody will either sever ties with all the losers in his life or blow his chance at winning and realize that he is just a kid in a man's world who does not have the balls of the last real champion. Cody mentions Cena saying that he is talent and that he does not burying talent, and while he knows "a graveyard of talent," this is about them. He says that this is a different WWE than what Cena has known, and back then, he worshipped him. He counters Cena's claim that he is underwhelming by claiming that Cena is overrated, overbearing and out of touch and time before making fun of his appearance as well as his "sanctimonious" comments and treating him like an errand boy. He also says it is 2025 and that Cena still cannot wrestle. Cena says that Cody is like the fans because he does not know what he wants just like they do, then says he does not have to wrestle. He pokes Cody in the eye and goes for an Attitude Adjustment, but Cody slips out and counters with a Cross Rhodes.

Here are the top ten moments from tonight's show!

Raw Deal - Raw recap for April 7, 2025

General Manager Adam Pearce is in the ring to start tonight's show. Pearce welcomes Iyo Sky, followed by Bianca Belair, followed by Rhea Ripley. Pearce misidentifies Rhea as a member of The Judgment Day (Finn Balor, "Dirty" Dominik Mysterio, Carlito, Liv Morgan, Raquel Rodriguez). Pearce takes responsibility for everything that has happened up to this point, and to right these wrongs, he makes the match for the World Women's Championship at WrestleMania a Triple Threat Match. After Pearce asks for three signatures, Bianca says this would have originally pissed her off, but after everything that has transpired recently, she has no problem overcoming a Triple Threat Match to become champion. She signs. Rhea is about to speak, but Bianca tells her to shut up and sign since she whined enough to get here. Rhea gets the hint and signs, then tosses it back at Bianca. Iyo stands between them, but when Rhea shoves her aside, she walks away at first, then drop kicks Rhea into Bianca before signing the contract.

Backstage, Finn Balor addresses him and "Dirty" Dominik Mysterio challenging for the Intercontinental Championship at WrestleMania. Liv feels that the more members of The Judgment Day (Finn Balor, "Dirty" Dominik Mysterio, Carlito, Liv Morgan, Raquel Rodriguez) are challenging for the Intercontinental Championship, the merrier, so long as one of them wins. Finn says Dominik does not have what it takes to win at WrestleMania, then says he has a chance to prove everyone wrong.

Lyra Valkyria retains the WWE Women's Intercontinental Championship against Bayley after rolling out of the Rose Plant and pinning Bayley with a jackknife pin. After the match, Bayley smacks Valkyria's hand away, then hugs her.

Backstage, Cathy Kelley interviews comedian Bert Kreischer when American Made (Chad Gable, Julius Creed, Brutus Creed, Ivy Nile) shows up. Chad Gable says he is not competing tonight, but The Creed Brothers (Julius and Brutus) and El Grande Americano are. Kreischer tells them he came for Alpha Academy (Otis, Akira Tozawa, Maxxine Dupri), not America Made, then he and Otis rip their shirts off.

Backstage, Jackie Redmond interviews "The Phenomenal" AJ Styles. Styles says he gets to embarrass Logan Paul at WrestleMania because you cannot beat experience. Karrion Kross and Scarlett show up, and Kross says experience got him nowhere recently, then says he wants another side of Styles, saying that if he loses, WWE loses. Styles says he will give Kross another side of him in a match next week.

American Made (Julius and Brutus Creed) and El Grande Americano beat The Latino World Order (Dragon Lee, Joaquin Wilde, Cruz del Toro) in a six-man tag match after Ivy Nile hands a piece of metal to Americano to put in his mask. Americano uses it to headbutt Rey Mysterio when he calls this out, then does the same to Dragon Lee when Dragon Lee goes for his mask. He then wins the match with a flying headbutt to Dragon Lee.

Gunther heads to the ring. Shortly after he enters it, "Main Event" Jey Uso heads to the ring from inside the crowd. Gunther laughs as Jey Uso smacks the microphone out of Gunther's hand and takes his sunglasses off, then asks Gunther if he has a mother and if he has talked to her. At this point, Gunther has stopped laughing. He asks if they have talked about the usual family stuff before he mentions how he talked to his mother about being laid up in a hospital bed with fifteen stitches across his head before she asked him why he did not protect Jimmy Uso. He says he was afraid and that Gunther was three steps ahead and playing chess while he played checkers, but that was not enough for him and he had to get his family involved. He addresses what happened last week, then says Jimmy's blood is on his hands and that he has never been so pissed off and "damn near scared." He says Gunther made the whole world stop when he violated his brother in front of him and made his heart stop. Jey says that in his darkest moment, a light bulb went off, and he realized that he is not afraid of Gunther anymore. He tells Gunther to hug and kiss family before WrestleMania, then says he will say a prayer for Gunther, more so for himself, and forgive him for the man he is about to become, as he will get Gunther for himself and his family and take the World Heavyweight Championship.

Backstage, Maxxine Dupri and Natalya get a tag team match on SmackDown. Rey Mysterio then meets with General Manager Adam Pearce and wants a WrestleMania match with El Grande Americano so he can expose him as a fraud. Pearce makes it official.

Comedian Tony Hinchcliffe guests on commentary for the next match.

The New Day (Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods) beat The War Raiders (Ivar and Erik) by disqualification after Xavier Woods and Ivar fight over a metal folding chair and Ivar hits Woods in the gut with the chair. The War Raiders (Ivar and Erik) retain the World Tag Team Championships. After the match, Kofi swings at Ivar, then The New Day goes on the attack - with Woods choking Erik inside an open chair at one point - until officials back them up to the ramp.

Adi Shankar, Taylor and Daniel from Love Is Blind Season 8, and comedian Bert Kreischer are seen in the crowd.

Penta beats "Dirty" Dominik Mysterio. After the match, Carlito attacks Penta from behind, but Penta fights back. Dominik grabs Penta by the ankle so that Carlito can hit the Backstabber, then Dominik and Carlito go on the attack before Bron Breakker shows up. Breakker throws himself into Carlito with a Spear, then hits Dominik with a Spear in the ring before doing the same to Penta. Suddenly, Finn Balor shows up from behind and hits Breakker with an elbow before holding up the Intercontinental Championship. Breakker goes for a Spear, but Finn Balor barely avoids it.

Paul Heyman is in the ring. He says that he will always be loyal to his Tribal Chief, Roman Reigns. He also says he will be loyal to CM Punk. Heyman also proclaims that his loyalty to both of them does not mean he will be disloyal to either of them. Before he can make anything perfectly clear, Seth "Freakin'" Rollins shows up and says tonight not about him, but about Heyman, and wants to know whose side Heyman is on. He wants to know if Heyman will be CM Punk's best friend or Roman Reigns' wiseman, and says Heyman is convincing everyone that he can be both yet it occurred to him last week that he is neither. Rollins tells Heyman that Roman Reigns does not give a damn about him, much less respects him, and only uses him, reminding him that when Roman disappeared after losing the WWE Championship, Solo Sikoa's Bloodline (Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, Tanga Loa, Jacob Fatu) treated Heyman like the scum of the earth and did not come to his rescue. Rollins also reminds Heyman that CM Punk did not save him, either, and that he walked out on everyone in WWE - including Heyman - and tried to tear down everything here. Rollins also reminds Heyman about how he - not Punk - was the first choice for WarGames, even though he declined, and how Punk ended up being the last and only choice and only joined to get a favor out of Heyman. He says that CM Punk only loves himself, then admits that he feels bad for Heyman for being in a position where the only easy solution would be to remove himself from the situation entirely so he, Punk and Roman can battle it out for the soul of the industry. Rollins says he understands that Heyman will not betray Roman or Punk, and thinks about a way to remove Heyman for the situation before stating he would take it as a privilege to do it himself here and now with The Stomp. Rollins says that neither Punk or Roman is here to save Heyman, even quoting Punk by saying Punk is here to make money, then asks how much Heyman is worth repeatedly as he begins to smack him around. Heyman snaps on Rollins, telling him not to put his hands on him, but Rollins shoves Heyman to the corner. Punk shows up and fights Rollins before going for The Stomp on him. This ends with Rollins escaping and hitting The Stomp on Punk. Heyman checks on Punk, and when Rollins goes for The Stomp, Heyman is somehow able to avoid getting his head pummeled. Rollins then says to Heyman "Now you owe me a favor."

Raw Deal - Raw recap for March 17, 2025

John Cena heads to the ring to start tonight's show. Compared to the last twenty years, Cena is in far less of a jovial mood on his way to the ring and is a lot more stoic and emotionless. After seemingly endless chants of "Let's Go Cena, Cena Sucks," and "You sold out," Cena goes between cutting a promo and leaving the ring before ultimately doing the former. Cena then says that whenever one is properly grounded in life, they should not have to look outside themselves for approval. He then says the fans are making this so easy for him as they continue to boo him, as for 25 years, he has been the victim of an abusive relationship. He tells the fans that they have lost their time to talk as they boo him again, and when they take the floor, all they do is be hurtful and abusive and bully him into being their puppet and doing it with a smile on their face. He then says "No more!" before the fans chant "Fuck you, Cena!" Cena sarcastically thanks the fans for their class before declaring he is neither face nor heel, but a human being, and that the fans have been awful to him. He says it has been "the same damn noise" for 25 years and that when he showed up, the fans made it known that they hated him and unworthy of their attention, and while he changed himself hoping the fans would like him, it was not enough after it stopped working, and all he could do was "win and win and win," and the fans hated that. He spent the next ten years of his life trying to give away everything he could, and it still was not enough. Cena says that in his final moments, he could have walked away, so he announced his retirement at the end of 2025 in a move that had never been done before, and when he tried to get along with the fans one last time, they ruined it like they did everyting else, because like every other time, it was never enough. The fans then sing Na Na Hey Hey (The Goodbye Song), making it clear that they want hi to go away, and Cena then says "Each one of these idiots are proving my point with every breath" before stating that it is never enough and that the fans should be ashamed of themselves, as all they ever do is take and only care about themselves. Cena says he put his values on the line to make a very important choice in his life, but the fans only cared about what they got out of him. He says the fans never asked him about how he felt, and it was just "What do we get?" He tells the fans they get nothing except what they have earned, and what they have earned is nothing. He tells the fans they do not get a new look because they dress like him, as he does not dress like the fans, and that they do not get new music because it is his vocals on the song while their time is up and his time is now. He says all the fans get is a long look in the mirror to see how awful they have been to him for the last 25 years. When the fans that they want "The American Nightmare" Cody Rhodes, Cena says the fans want "their shiny new toy" in Cody because they are putting him out to pasture, and that they have proven once again with every breath that they are awful people. He states that nobody is safe and no one can hide, especially the ones that he can pick out in the crowd and identify very easily as the "Let's Go Cena" fans who support him, then says that the "Cena Sucks jackoffs" have proven themselves to be awful, as have the "Let's Go Cena people." He says the fans claim to support him, but asks the fans what they have ever done except steal his personal moments, steal his time, and make him into a toy and "a stupid invisible joke for the last 15 years" that they still think is funny when it is really pathetic. Cena then calls the fans "pathetic," and states that they are not ready to be part of an uncomfortable conversation before he proclaims that the fans wear his merchandise to feel good rather than for support him, and that they wear words like "Hustle, Loyalty and Respect" and "Never Gives Up" while he lives them everyday as the dictionary definition of "perserverance." He then says that the fans do not support him; instead, they use him as an excuse for a pathetic failure of their lives, as all they have done for the last 25 years is sit on their asses and watch him be great. He says "no more," and says that the relationship with the fans is toxic and dysfunctional. Cena then declares that he is breaking up with the fans, and that he is done, whether the fans like it or not, as he does not need them, he does not care about them, and they do not matter to him. Cena states there is nothing they can say or do because they know he is right and they are wrong. Suddenly, Cody shows up, gets in the ring and receives the "Cody Rhodes" chant to the tune of Daddy Cool, then says everyone, including himself, was willing to hear Cena out. He says the fans may have given Cena their worst, but they also gave their best, and they did it because Cena was special, because he could take it, and because he could carry it. Cena says "Look, kid..." but Cody makes it clear he will not that, and demands he be addressed as the WWE Champion. Cody then asks Cena "Who the hell are you?" and wants to know where the Cena everyone knows is, as he was excited at the prospect of going week-to-week and face-to-face with Cena only to get what he is looking at now, and tells Cena that if this is what he gets at WrestleMania, he will run it over and retire it early. He then tells Cena to find himself as this is what he wants to face and not "this whiny bitch." Cody then leaves, and Cena follows suit after Cody is in the back. As Cena leaves, the fans sing Na Na Hey Hey (The Goodbye Song) again and wave goodbye at him.

We look back on Ricky Steamboat vs. "Macho Man" Randy Savage for the WWF Intercontinental Championship at WrestleMania 3.

Before the next match, Ludwig Kaiser states that he stands in an historical moment as well get rid of Penta for good in a no-holds barred match. He says Penta claims to have no fear, but after he absolutely destroys him, nobody will remember Penta's name while he becomes the fastest-rising star in WWE as Penta learns what fear means.

Penta beats Ludwig Kaiser in a no-holds barred match. After the match, Cathy Kelley interviews Penta in the entryway. When asked what is next for him, Penta thanks the fans in Brussels, Belgium for their support before stating that he wants the Intercontinental Championship and that he does not care what he has to do to get it.

Backstage, Finn Balor meets up with Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez, who wish him luck in his Intercontinental Championship match tonight. Finn does likewise for their upcoming matches, and says Jade Cargill will be another stop on the Liv Morgan revenge tour. "Dirty" Dominik Mysterio shows up, and Finn thanks Dominik for getting him the match tonight. Dominik says he has been talking to some people and that he has an idea, and that ever since they lost JD McDonagh, they also lost some muscle, and entertains the idea of adding Penta to The Judgment Day. Finn takes this as an act of betrayal and calls Dominik a snake. Dominik says he had no idea Penta would declare for the Intercontinental Championship after Finn leaves, and Carlito responds with "You don't watch the show, do ya?"

Dakota Kai beats Ivy Nile. During the match, Dragon Lee and Rey Mysterio show up and attack The Creed Brothers (Julius and Brutus Creed) before chasing Chad Gable through the crowd. The distraction allows Dakota Kai to get the win on a distracted Ivy Nile with the GTK.

General Manager Adam Pearce moderates a contract signing between Bianca Belair and Iyo Sky for the World Women's Championship at WrestleMania 41. Iyo Sky says Bianca will not disrespect her again, as will nobody else, as she is Women's World Champion, and after WrestleMania, she will still be champion. She then signs the contract. Bianca says she has all the respect for Iyo, but last week, she gave her a pass as what happened was her fault. She says that she will not let Iyo put her hands on her again and that she will find out exactly who she is at WrestleMania when she becomes champion, then signs the contract. As Pearce thanks Iyo and Bianca for being professional during the contract signing, Rhea Ripley arrives, and Pearce demands referees head to the ring. Ripley makes it known she will not take the recent disrespect and states Bianca has no business being in her championship match, then says she will take a page out of Bianca's playbook and watch. This leads to Rhea and Bianca arguing, and when Iyo gets in the middle, Bianca shoves Iyo again only for Rhea to headbutt Bianca and powerbomb Iyo into Bianca onto the table. Rhea then eyes the contract, grabs the pen inside and signs it before walking off with the contract and forcing Pearce to chase her to the back.

Backstage, "Main Event" Jey Uso says he has not been himself and has been doubting himself, so he flew halfway across the world to whup somebody's ass: Austin Theory. He then says it is him and Gunther at WrestleMania when he shocks the world and becomes World Heavyweight Championship. Gunther suddenly gets in Jey Uso's face, and General Manager Adam Pearce and security gets between them. Gunther then says he talked to Jimmy Uso on Friday and says that Jimmy is as dumb as Jey. Gunther is shoved away while Jey tells Gunther he will see him at WrestleMania before heading to the ring.

"Main Event" Jey Uso quickly beats Austin Theory. (The match is quickly savaged by the fans, due to the match taking only 29 seconds because of time constraints as well as being rushed to the point that Jey Uso's tope suicida did not get enough distance and his Spear being confused for a cross body on English commentary.) After the match, Grayson Waller gets in the ring only to get superkicked in the face before taking both him and Theory out with a dive. Suddenly, Gunther shows up and puts Jey in a sleeper, but Jey rams Gunther's head int the top turnbuckle before brawling with him, ripping the World Heavyweight Championship from his waist and tricking Gunther into tumbling out of the ring. He then tosses the World Heavyweight title back to Gunther.

We see a video package for Finn Balor vs. Bron Breakker for the WWE Intercontinental Championship later tonight.

Backstage, General Manager Adam Pearce tells Rhea Ripley that he simply cannot sign her name on the contract, and demands the contract. Rhea demands she be put in the title match, then she is attacked by Bianca Belair. Iyo Sky jumps in and attacks Rhea, then Iyo and Bianca fight over who gets a piece of Rhea. Iyo punches Bianca, then Rhea attacks them both. Adam Pearce returns and breaks up the brawl.

The Latino World Order (Rey Mysterio and Dragon Lee) beat American Made (Julius and Brutus Creed). After the match, The Latino World Order is attacked by someone in an "American Made" luchador mask before he is chased away by security again. Once again, it is strongly believed to be Chad Gable.

Seth "Freakin'" Rollins heads to the ring. He is not mad that Roman Reigns came back for revenge, because he would have done the same thing, then says that the real problem is that after all these years, Roman still cannot come up with a plan and needs an architect to do it for him. He also states that Roman forgot about one detail: CM Punk, who he calls "the luckiest loser on the face of the planet." Rollins says that if he had just a few more seconds in the Elimination Chamber, he would have hit Punk with The Stomp and not only end his championship dreams, but put his career on ice and ended "the CM Punk problem" once and for all. He then says it is just like the good old days again and that he has to clean up Roman Reigns' mess, and he will put Roman in his place along the way. Rollins then mentions that both Roman and Punk will be in the same place at the same time on SmackDown, and while he wishes they were he, he will not let them have all the fun. He entertains showing up at SmackDown and putting himself between both men, then thanks the fans in Brussels, Belgium for their support before letting them sing his theme song one more time before he heads to SmackDown in Italy.

Backstage, Cathy Kelly interviews "The Phenomenal" AJ Styles. Styles takes in the fans' chants for him, then says Logan Paul does not belong on the wwe roster. Karrion Kross and Scarlett show up, and Kross thinks that Styles is not mad at Logan Paul, but at himself, as it took seventeen years to get to WWE and find validation, and wants him to find respect for Logan Paul for doing everything Styles has done in record time. Styles says he knows what Kross is doing and that it will not work, then walks away. Kross whispers to Scarlett "I think it's working."

Bron Breakker and Penta have a brief staredown backstage as Breakker heads to the ring for the main event.

Bron Breakker retains the WWE Intercontinental Championship against Finn Balor. During the match, Carlito and "Dirty" Dominik Mysterio show up initially to distract Breakker, but Carlito distracts the referee so that Dominik can shove Breakker off the top rope near the end of the match. This inadvertently causes Finn Balor to lose balance and land crotch-first on the top turnbuckle, and Breakker makes both Dominik and Carlito pay before hitting Finn with the Frankensteiner followed by the Spear to win and retain. After the match, Carlito and Dominik attack Breakker, but as Dominik grabs the Intercontinental Championship to use it as a weapon, Penta runs into the ring and fights both Dominik and Carlito. Breakker hits Carlito with a Spear before Penta takes the Intercontinental Championship and hands it to Breakker. Breakker and Penta have a staredown in the middle of the ring to end the show.

Raw Deal - Raw recap for March 3, 2025

CM Punk heads to the arena in a Jeep Grand Wagoneer and heads to the ring to start tonight's show. Punk stands on the announce table and starts addressing his enemies, starting with The Rock, calling him a "bald fraud" who is not immune from criticism who walks in when he feels like it and thinks he is a bigger star than everyone else. He says that The Rock only pretends to care about the business that gives him co and is desperate enough to wear a fake title and proclaim himself to be "The People's Champion," and that he himself has never been desperate enough to sell his own soul. He also says that that everyone can see through John Cena, and after having given him the benefit of the doubt, he will not be fooled twice after Cena sold everyone "bullshit" after more than 20 years. Punk says that he will never give up on main eventing WrestleMania and that Cena gave up on himself, then says he will see Cena and The Rock at WrestleMania. He then says Seth "Freakin'" Rollins has his full undivided attention and tells Becky Lynch to get her man before he does. Rollins shows up, and Punk runs to the stage and starts a brawl that officials quickly try to break up. General Manager Adam Pearce shows up with security when officials alone are not enough, and both men are finally separated when the brawl gets to the announce table.

We see more footage of CM Punk and Seth "Freakin'" Rollins brawling in the crowd during the commercial break.

Backstage, The Judgment Day (Finn Balor, "Dirty" Dominik Mysterio, Carlito, Liv Morgan, Raquel Rodriguez) discuss tonight's business. Meanwhile, Finn Balor mentions their recent failings. Dominik brings up adding another member, but Finn Balor says he will deal with Bron Breakker himself.

Before the next match, Gunther says he knows that Otis is strong as an ox and called a freak of nature by some, but to him, Otis is a freak and a people pleaser who makes himself look like a clown for the fans. He says the fans cheer Otis because they pity him, not because they like him, then brags about wearing a championship belt while Otis cannot find a belt that fits him. Gunther says Otis could be great if he had a little bit of self-respect, then says he will teach him respect right now. Gunther then boots Otis in the face, starting their match.

Gunther beats Otis. After the match, Gunther puts Otis in a sleeper, then Akira Tozawa gets on top of Gunther for one of his own. Gunther pulls Tozawa off and powerbombs him into Otis, then "Main Event" Jey Uso shows up and Gunther retreats after Jey hits him with a Spear. Jey is attacked by A-Town Down Under (Grayson Waller and Austin Theory), but he soon overpowers both of them. Gunther then gets back in the ring and puts Jey in a sleeper.

We see a video package for Iyo Sky vs. Rhea Ripley for the World Women's Championship tonight.

UFC lightweight fighter Clay Guida is seen in the crowd.

Backstage, Cathy Kelley interviews "The Phenomenal" AJ Styles. Styles admits he did not see John Cena selling out coming, then he is approached from behind by Karrion Kross. Style says he is not Cena, then says the fans need a reminder of who he is, and next week, he will call out Logan Paul. He then says that if Kross wants to be the devil on his shoulder, then God knows his evil ways. After Styles leaves, Kross laughs and says "That was easy."

Lyra Valkyria retains the WWE Women's Intercontinental Championship against Ivy Nile despite Ivy Nile targeting Lyra's left knee throughout the match.

Backstage, Seth "Freakin'" Rollins tells General Manager Adam Pearce that CM Punk that he screwed himself, and that he wants to finish things. Pearce tells him they will finish things in a steel cage next week, then bars him from the building and confines him to his bus.

Ludwig Kaiser is in the ring. Kaiser says that last week, he took the fans' attention that he has been deserving for a long time back from Penta. He then declares that he is a future world champion whether the fans like it or not. He then says that he and Penta still have unfinished business, and that what John Cena did to "The American Nightmare" Cody Rhodes at Elimination Chamber will be nothing compared to what he does to Penta, and when he is done, Penta will know exactly fear feels like. Penta shows up and brawls with Kaiser, and he quickly gets the upper hand and lays Kaiser out.

Backstage, Cathy Kelley interviews Bianca Belair. Bianca says she wants to speak with Naomi and Jade Cargill, as she feels guilty despite what she accomplished in the Elimination Chamber. She says she is now waiting to see who she will face at WrestleMania.

We see Chad Gable looking for someone. He soon encounters an old man who tells him that he must become lucha, as he cannot fight what he does not understand. He then hands Gable a box full of power beyond his understanding for several hundred dollars.

The War Raiders (Ivar and Erik) retain the World Tag Team Championships against American Made (Julius and Brutus Creed).

We hear from Joaquin Wilde and Cruz del Toro, who say that that while The New Day (Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods) beat them up, they cannot take their heart and their spirit. Dragon Lee shows up and says they cannot take their fire, and that The New Day did not get the job done. He says that they are now stronger than ever, then Rey Mysterio shows up and says The New Day got cocky and earned themselves a vacation. He then says that next week, they will have the worst Monday of their lives in a tornado tag match. He says he is proud of the Latino World Order, then he and Dragon Lee say that The New Day sucks.

Cathy Kelley is interviewing Bron Breakker from the crowd when Finn Balor is cutting a promo on him. Finn Balor says Breakker is still Intercontinental Champion because he lets him, but Breakker says he is still champion because he has the dog in him. Finn Balor says that he is untouchable and eats rookies like Bron Breakker for breakfast, and that he can take the title from him any time he likes. Breakker heads to the ring and brawls with Finn Balor, and gets the upper hand until "Dirty" Dominik Mysterio shows up to save Finn Balor from a Spear.

It is announced that "The American Nightmare" Cody Rhodes will address what happened at Elimination Chamber on SmackDown.

Backstage, Otis thanks "Main Event" Jey Uso for having Alpha Academy's (Otis, Akira Tozawa, Maxxine Dupri) backs, then Cathy Kelley interviews Jey. Jey admits he has been thrown off his game a little bit, then says this is the wrong time to play with his mind. He says that if Gunther will give him ten weeks of Hell, he will walk through the shadow of the valley of death, because Gunther woke up "a damn beast."

Bianca Belair watches the next match from the announce table.

Iyo Sky beats Rhea Ripley to become the Women's World Champion! During the match, Rhea Ripley confronts Bianca Belair for cheering for Iyo Sky, saying that Bianca Belair is scared. Rhea and Bianca have a shoving contest, but referee Jessica Carr stops it and tells them to knock it off instead of ending the match outright. Ripley then goes for an avalanche Riptide on Iyo - while telling Bianca "See you at 'Mania" - only for Iyo to counter with a hurricanrana followed by Over The Moonsault to win the title and punch her ticket to WrestleMania.
