Raw Deal - Raw recap for December 15, 2025

Gunther heads to the ring to start tonight's show. Along the way, he stands on the announce table in triumph. The crowd chants "You suck!" and "You tapped out!" before Gunther says he did what he said he would do and made John Cena give up, and when he gave up, he tapped out like a little bitch. He then leaves the ring only to re-enter it. Gunther then stands on the second rope in celebration before the fans chant "You suck!" again, then Gunther leaves and turns back around a second time. This time, he celebrates again on the announce table and declares that he made John Cena tap out like a little bitch, and for that, he will be known as the man that made John Cena give up. Gunther then heads to the back for real this time, then the camera follows him. Akira Tozawa and Otis confront him for being happy about what he has done, as does R-Truth, who calls him a piece of trash. General Manager Adam Pearce asks Gunther if he is proud of what he has done, and says that his actions make him an asshole, not "The Ring General." Pearce then tells him to leave after Gunther asks him if he is done, and Gunther promptly leaves. Gunther asks "The Phenomenal" AJ Styles if there is anything he wants to tell him on his way out, then mockingly tells Styles that he cannot see him after he gets in his car.



The Usos (Jimmy and "Main Event" Jey Uso) beat The New Day (Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods).



We hear from The Kabuki Warriors (Asuka and Kairi Sane). Asuka is still angry that Iyo Sky would not address her as senpai, and Kairi Sane says that they both loved Iyo. Asuka says that Iyo sided with Rhea even after Rhea disrespected her, and declares that on January 5th, they will put an end to Rhea and Iyo and win the WWE Women's Tag Team Championships.

Backstage, Logan Paul and Bronson Reed talk about what they did to LA Knight last week, then Bron Breakker tells them that CM Punk is here and that they should destroy him.

Bron Breakker wants to take out CM Punk, but Heyman reminds Breakker to wait until January 5th to take him out so he can become World Heavyweight Champion.Logan reminds Breakker that he has Rey Mysterio tonight after Heyman leaves, and that he would appreciate the help.

Backstage, General Manager Adam Pearce is meeting with Je'Von when Los Americanos (El Grande Americano, Rayo Americano, Bravo Americano) show up. Je'Von knows enough Spanish to know that El Grande Americano is talking down on NXT. This leads to Je'Von Evans having a match with Rayo Americano next week.

CM Punk heads to the ring. Punk says that he was forced to miss the last two weeks because he could not get medically cleared and that he had to listen to Bron Breakker talk. He calls Breaker "a cross-eyed Neanderthal nepo baby" and says that brains do not run in Breakker's family. He also mentions Breakker mentioning that it was too easy to beat him, then says that Breakker cannot beat him without help from his friends. He says that Breakker may have pinned him for a World title shot, but he did not do it on his own. CM Punk says he has been there before and that Heyman has taken plenty of people with a little bit of talent and gassed them up. He also tells Breakker that if he mentions AJ Lee again, it will go from business to personal. Punk says he would tell Breakker to come to their World Heavyweight Championship match alone, but he will not, not because he does not have the guts, but because he does not have the heart. He tells Breakker to bring all the help he can, including his father and uncle, as he has no chance of beating him for the World Heavyweight Championship.Punk says that when Breakker finds out that Heyman has left him for the next big thing and that his masked mystery man never showed up, all he will have left is his father and uncle, and that even in Steiner Math, "GTS = 1, 2, 3."



Backstage, "Dirty" Dominik Mysterio hopes that Logan Paul puts an end to his deadbeat bad, then mentions that Finn Balor is with JD McDonagh and that McDonagh will be on the shelf for a while. Liv Morgan and Roxanne Perez then focus on Raquel Rodriguez's Women's World title match.

Rhea Ripley then shows up wanting a match with Asuka, and Pearce gives it to her for next week.

Backstage, CM Punk tells Rey Mysterio that he has his back against Logan Paul.

Jackie Redmond interviews AJ Styles and Dragon Lee. Styles says that they are ready to defend the World Tag Team Championships, and Dragon Lee says that they will bring the fire against any team at any time. After they leave, Nikki Bella shows up and says she is not apologizing for putting people beneath her in their place, then says that the locker room does not appreciate the road that she paved and that Raquel Rodriguez and Stephanie Vaquer should be polishing her boots.

Backstage, Bayley congratulates Maxxine Dupri on retaining the WWE Women's Intercontinental Championship, then Lyra Valkyria meets with Bayley. Bayley says her loss to Sol Ruca has gotten her thinking about what Asuka said. Lyra says that this is not the Bayley she grew up watching and that this Bayley would lose to Roxanne Perez, but Bayley says that she will not be losing to Roxanne next week. Lyra is smiling as Bayley walks away.

Logan Paul beats Rey Mysterio. During the match, Bron Breakker and "Big" Bronson Reed head to the ring, but CM Punk is close behind them, and he hits them both with a metal folding chair and sends them running back to the back. "The Oracle" Paul Heyman hands the brass knuckles to Logan, but Rey trips Logan into the ropes and hits the 619, knocking the brass knuckles out of Logan's hand in the process. As Rey goes for the brass knuckles, he is suddenly curbed stomped by the masked man clad in black. Logan Paul then hits Rey with a splash from the top rope to win. After the match, the masked man gets on the apron, and he and Logan Paul look at each other before the masked man flees through the crowd, unmasks, and reveals himself to be Austin Theory. CM Punk turns around and is hit by a Spear from Bron Breakker. Breakker tells Punk that if he mentions his family again, he will never stand on two feet ever again. Breakker then holds up the World Heavyweight Championship to end the show.

The Bloodline (Roman Reigns, Paul Heyman, Jimmy Uso, Solo Sikoa) make their way to the ring to start tonight's show. Roman Reigns says that it is "promotion time" because he is a good and fair Tribal Chief, and says that tonight is all about one man who knows what representing The Bloodline is all about and that if anyone happens to him, he will be the man to step up. Roman Reigns announces that this person will be the next tribal heir, and asks Jimmy Uso to join him in congratulating Solo Sikoa, whom Roman hugs. Suddenly, Randy Orton shows up. After the commercial break, Orton gets in the ring. Orton says he has been thinking all this time about what to say, then tells Roman Reigns that he is coming for him after taking 18 months from him and that he will take everything away from him, and that he does not care who he has to go through to do it. He then says it starts tonight and ends at Royal Rumble, and that he will be challenging Roman for the WWE Universal Championship. Roman says it sounds like the fans want this match and that Orton deserves it, then says he has not been thinking about Orton at all before telling Orton to go back to the end of the line where he belongs. Roman then tells Orton to "tap into that big dumb of [his]" and listen to his voices when they tell him to leave him alone, for it is not 2007 anymore and he is levels above everyone else, and he will retire him.

When Alexander says he will call out Bully Ray tonight, D'Amore tells him that Bully has a match and not to interfere with it. Tommy Dreamer shows up and apologizes to Alexander for thinking Bully Ray was trustworthy, and extends his hand. Alexander refuses to accept his apology, as he feels Dreamer was in on everything Bully Ray was doing. D'Amore says Dreamer is one of the most honest people he has ever known, but Alexander is not having any of it.

Bully Ray quickly beats John Skyler. After the match, Tommy Dreamer heads to the ring and confronts Bully Ray that they were friends and that he vouched for him, and that he thought for one moment, he had changed. He says that Josh Alexander will kick Bully Ray's at Hard to Kill and that he will not be part of his of negativity, then tells him that he is here not to fight him, but that their friendship is over and that he will have nothing else to do with him again. Tommy Dreamer says that if he wants to put him on the spot, then he will put Bully on the spot. Bully is unflustered and tells Dreamer to walk away, and says that Dreamer is nothing but "a jealous coward" and "a nobody." He says that if D-Von Dudley walked in his shadow, then Tommy Dreamer walked ten steps behind at all times, then says he was a bigger star than him in ECW, WWE, Impact and all over the world. Bully Ray says that some consider Tommy "a failure in the wrestling business," and when Tommy gets on the ring apron, Bully Ray tries to keep him out of the ring before saying Tommy will not take a swing.

Jordynne says that she knows means to the both of them, then says she will say her peace in the ring and signs the contract. Mickie says Jordynne is acting like this is a foregone conclusion and that she has already won. Jordynne denying this, saying she is letting Mickie have her moment, but Mickie says she has many moments against the greatest that Jordynne could only dream about. She says that she will have one more at Hard To Kill, then signs the contract before Tasha Steelz and Savannah Evans show up. Tasha Steelz says that Mickie James has yet to defeat her and that "The Last Rodeo" is not complete without her. Mickie says there is a month until Hard To Kill and that she has a lot of time. Jordynne says it is a little too late and that the paperwork is already signed, but Mickie says she does not need Jordynne's help.

Deonna reluctantly agrees, then the three of them huddle together to form a plan.

We see a vignette of Taylor Wilde using tarot cards.

Before the next match, Joe Hendry says he has no idea what goes on in Swinger's Dungeon, but he does hear a lot of screaming, slapping, moaning and whining when he passes by. He then says that in Hendry's Dungeon, you only hear one joyous sound of "We Believe," and that everyone believes in Joe Hendry.

Bhupinder Gujjar and Joe Hendry beat Johnny Swinger and "Outlandish" Zicky Dice. During the match, Moose suddenly jumps the barricade to attack Joe Hendry, but Joe Hendry sees it coming.

This leaves Bhupinder Gujjar fighting solo, and he handily wins the match against Johnny Swinger and Zicky Dice.



Backstage, John Skyler sits with Jason Hotch. Hotch says there is no respect in Impact Wrestling, and Skyler notes that Hotch does not get any respect and that everyone just calls them "good hands" like some sort of backhanded compliment. Hotch says he gets it and says he would love to step in the ring with him, and Skyler says he would also love to do that, but as part of a tag team. Both men shake on it not with a handshake, but with a "hands shake."

We hear from Steve Maclin, who says he was trained to do everything by the book and that getting everyone home was the reward. He says that is not the case in Impact Wrestling, as he can do anything to beat former world champions yet gets no reward for it. He then says that he must change up his tactics to get closer to the Impact World Championship, and that Rich Swann is the wrong place at the wrong time in the world of the wrong guy.

The Motor City Machine Guns (Chris Sabin and Alex Shelley) beat Heath and Rhino to win the Impact World Tag Team Championships for the third time. The Major Players (Matt Cardona and Brian Myers) are banned from ringside during this match.

He also says that a foundation needs ideals such as human nature is violent and that embracing violence is key to understand who one is. He says there is not a more destructive species that is more intentionally cruel to each other than humanity, and that the past is not a crutch, but an arrow. He also says that he will not question the teachings of the house of Black and appreciate its blessing no matter how descrutcive it. He says that this can only be done by placing the house before anything else, and while not everyone will grasp the concept of the teachings one bestows to others, through agony, the house will make them strong, as the house is bigger than anything.

Before the next match, MJF says that tonight's venue is a dump before saying "Hey, Texas! Your daughter swallows!" He also says that Texas would like him better if he were more like them - "anti-education and pro-incest" - before calling out CM Punk for saying he uses low-hanging fruit. He says that the moment CM Punk got nervous, the first thing he did was "Your sports team sucks!" for ten straight minutes, and says that he likes the part where CM Punk told him to stop running and face him, saying CM Punk's winning streak against "underwhelming opponents" does not mean he is championship material; it just means he is "the new Ryback." He says that he will beat "Hangman" Adam Page just like he will beat Dante Martin, and says that while Dante is a great wrestler, he will not pretend to care for the younger talent like CM Punk, saying he is the only good younger talent that matters. MJF also says that while Dante Martin has the talent and verbal skills of Helen Keller on Quaaludes, he can beat him with a headlock takeover, as he does not have to claim he is the best in the world simply because he just is.



MJF beats Dante Martin to win the Dynamite Diamond Ring for a third time. During the match, MJF's foot is placed on the bottom rope by "Absolute" Ricky Starks, which the ref notices. As the referee tells Starks to head to the back, Dante Martin is distraction, and this allows MJF to lock in The Salt of the Earth for the win. After the match, FTR (Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler) show up and celebrate with MJF, then the lights go out. When they come back on, Darby Allin and Sting show up and push MJF off FTR's shoulders before brawling with FTR. MJF hits Sting with a low blow, allowing the numbers game to take over before CM Punk runs into the ring with a metal pipe and forces MJF and FTR to retreat. CM Punk then challenges FTR and MJF to a six-man tag match against him, Sting and Darby Allin next week.

Backstage, Gia Miller interviews The Motor City Machine Guns (Chris Sabin and Alex Shelley). Shelley says XXXL (Acey Romero and Larry D) was step one, that The North ("All Ego" Ethan Page and "The Walking Weapon" Josh Alexander) - who is now at each other's throats and may not be around to face them again because of it - was step two and that step three is The Good Brothers ("The Big LG" Doc Gallows and ). Sabin says The Good Brothers never pinned either of them for the tag titles, and that his match with Karl Anderson is a preview of what happens when both teams clash. He says there is only room for two machine guns, and Anderson is not one of them. Meanwhile, Kenny Omega and Don Callis take exception to Chris Sabin's recent words from backstage, and tell Anderson to take Sabin out.

Backstage, "Machine Gun" Karl Anderson asks Rich Swann if he has seen Chris Sabin, because he is ready to knock him out after what he said backstage.

Anderson immediately decides to save everything for the ring upon seeing the Machine Guns show up.

Moose shows up. He says Willie Mack will not be able to compete in an Impact ring for a couple of rings because he hurt him and he hurts people. Moose then says he has not been angry yet, and that nobody knows what he is capable of when angry. He then says it makes him angry when Rich Swann gets all the attention and he does not, and while he admits Swann is a great competitor, the difference between them is that Swann stays hurt while he hurts people. Moose then tells Rich Swann to call up Willie Mack and ask him what pain feels like. Suddenly, Willie Mack shows up, and security soon stands between him and the ring. Moose asks Willie if he really wants to make him mad, but Willie is mad not at him, but beating and injuring him, and says what angers him most is when the referee says he is done when he has a lot left. Willie then says he will take matters into his own, and that he will make his own decision when they face off in an "I Quit" Match at Genesis. Moose says he is not the man to have an "I Quit" Match with, and Willie Mack says he is not here to wrestle before charging through security before brawling with Moose. When security stands between them, Moose attacks security while Willie is taken to the back.

Rohit loves the idea, and Bey says he has a match with Manik soon where Rohit will get his opportunity to unmask Manik. Rohit goes along with the idea.

We hear from Tony Khan and Tony Schiavone, who joke that they are on public access TV (a pun on "AXS TV," which Impact is currently airing on in the United States outside of Twitch).

Backstage, "All Ego" Ethan Page admits he lost to "The Walking Weapon" Josh Alexander, then says everything will be fine. Alexander tells Page to stop, and tells him to get help and figure things out, as they cannot be a team right now. Page says that he will get help, then says "we" have your back. Page leaves as Alexander is confused by the "we," then Brian Myers says he should move on and proposes the two of them become a tag team. Alexander says he is in a terrible mood and would rather kick his ass, then leaves.

On the tour bus, Kenny Omega tells "Machine Gun" Karl Anderson to forget about "Rich 'The Bitch' Swann," and Don Callis tells Anderson to "go back and take his name back."

He says the parasite latched on to Cody, who did not see it, and Cody begins to agree with Eric.

Backstage, Kiera Hogan and Tasha Steelz celebrate advancing to the finals of the Knockouts Tag Team Title Tournament, then Kiera and Tasha refocus on Hernandez's money, with Tasha saying she does not have it as she shows Kiera the inside of her fanny pack.

Villain Enterprises ("The Villain" Marty Scurll, Brody King, PCO, "The Mercenary" Flip Gordon, Destro) show up to start tonight's show. Scurll says it is an exciting time for Villain Enterprises and that it is safe to say that stock is going through the roof. After bragging about his new shoes and mentioning Flip Gordon's scarf, Scurll then addresses PCO winning the ROH World Championship, saying nobody deserves it more than PCO, then gives PCO the microphone.

Bateman takes advantage of the distraction and wins the match, then Vincent shows up. He snaps the fingers on his left hand and continues to do so on the microphone as everyone in the ring joins him. Vincent asks the fans to imagine writing the greatest love song of all time but not being famous for the person who sings it, then asks the fans to picture the hard work and sacrifice one has to do to do the dirty work to become ROH World Champion, but not becoming the one to hold it. He says he has not done anything wrong and that his word is his bond, and when he asks for something to get done, it gets done or it moves on. He says the leader shows, knows and goes the way, then says The Kingdom is over and that he has the keys as he welcomes the fans to "Ring of Horror."

He plans to give the people in the compound the show of a lifetime, and announces his son King Maxel will make his in-ring debut. Suddenly, Rockstar Spud shows up, and Matt deems him worthy of deletion. Spud says nobody is getting deleted, especially not him. He says everyone, including himself, is sick and tired of the entire Hardy clan, including King Maxel, who hasn't even gotten his first match and is more over than him. He wants to be Maxel's debut opponent so he can teach him some respect. Matt Hardy sanctions the match, then brings in a referee, then declares the match a no-disqualification match.

After talking about his Slammy Award victory last week, he mentions Fandango "accepted" it for him and demands Fandango return it. Instead of Fandango, he gets Paul Heyman. Heyman wants to be General Manager for Raw tonight, and says he should have accepted Jericho's award for him and not Fandango. While Jericho admits Heyman gave him his first big break, Heyman also owes him $200. Heyman then says he's here for the World Heavyweight title picture, and can't wait to see Seth Rollins. Rollins shows up, and he and J&J Security (Joey Mercury and Jamie Noble) are not amused that Heyman has dropped his name. Rollins tells Heyman that he saw him win against John Cena, even though the ref never saw it, Roman Reigns returned, and John Cena won with Reigns' help. He calls Cena a coward, and challenges him to a rematch in the near future. Cena shows up, and he's not in a good mood, either, and tells Rollins to quit making excuses and man up. As for the rematch, he plans to make it a reality. Chris Jericho makes the match official...for tonight...in a steel cage. Seth Rollins yells at Jericho, calling him the worst General Manager ever, saying he couldn't even beat the popcorn guy...or Paul Heyman. Jericho is in a good mood, and actually thinks he can beat Paul Heyman...so he makes the match official. The match type will be voted on with the WWE App.

Big Show and Luke Harper beat Erick Rowan and Dolph Ziggler.



Fandango meets up with Chris Jericho backstage and tells him that if he wants his Slammy Award back, all he has to do is take it from him. Jericho tells Fandango that he's going to dance all over him after he's done with Paul Heyman.

Erick Rowan takes on Kane tomorrow night on Main Event, airing an hour earlier at 7 PM/6 PM Central, with Super SmackDown Live! airing afterwards on SyFy at 8 PM/7 PM Central.

Paul Heyman tries to talk his way out of his match with Chris Jericho, but Jericho has none of it. Heyman tries to write him a check for $200, but Jericho doesn't want it either. When it's revealed the match will be a Street Fight, Heyman asks Jericho if he can beat Brock Lesnar. Sure enough, Lesnar makes his first appearance on WWE television in months, minus the WWE World Heavyweight Championship. Lesnar quickly destroys Jericho with an F5 before he and Heyman leave.



Fandango is in the ring. As soon as he tries to talk trash about Chris Jericho, Roman Reigns shows up and destroys him. Before Reigns can utter a single word, Big Show comes out. Reigns tells him that if he gets into the ring, he's gonna hit him in the mouth. Show dares him, and eats a Superman Punch as soon as he gets on the apron. Show tosses one of the steel steps before walking away.



Jimmy Uso beats The Miz after Damien Mizdow's interference backfires, allowing Jey Uso to hit The Miz in the gut with a Slammy Award to help his brother win.
