Layin' da SmackDown - SmackDown recap for July 17, 2026

Gunther heads to the ring to start tonight's show. Gunther says he has prided himself as a professional his entire career, but since he has joined SmackDown, he has been mistreated. He chalks it up to possible jealousy from General Manager Nick Aldis, then says he should be Undisputed WWE Champion right now and everybody knows it. Gunther says that all that prevents him from being champion is Aldis himself, as he made this personal. He then states that Aldis is forcing him to team up with Sami Zayn against "The American Nightmare" Cody Rhodes and CM Punk at Saturday Night's Main Event, then calls Sami "a bum" who is beneath him and calls being put in this position unacceptable. Raw General Manager Adam Pearce shows up and says that Gunther should be thanking Aldis for saving his job after his actions in the last few weeks, and says that if it were up to him, Gunther would have been fired. He then says the position came from the higher-ups and that Aldis has made sure that his match with Sami Zayn against Cody and Punk goes as scheduled, including the stipulation. Pearce announces that if Gunther and Sami win on Saturday, Gunther will be added to the Undisputed WWE Championship match at SummerSlam, and the match will become a Fatal 4-Way. Suddenly, Cody Rhodes shows up and runs into the ring to attack Gunther, much to Pearce's chagrin. Cody sends Gunther out of the ring, then tells Gunther that it is on sight after what Gunther did to him and that Gunther will not make it past Saturday Night's Main Event. Cody then says that the road to Saturday runs through him and that he wants a one-on-one match with Gunther, and that all he needs is Pearce's blessing. Pearce makes the match official.

Backstage, Raw General Manager Adam Pearce announces that Rhea Ripley is closing to returning from injury, yet it is his unfortunate duty to announce that Rhea will not be able to compete at SummerSlam. Pearce announces that tonight and over the next few weeks, there will be five matches to determine who enters a ladder match to decide an Interim WWE Women's Champion. When Rhea Ripley returns, an undisputed champion will be decided.

Punk says he and Cody will be waiting if he and R-Truth stay tag team champions. Punk leaves, then R-Truth shows up, apparently having heard nothing that Priest and Punk were talking about.

Cargill is declared winner by disqualification, and an angry Nia Jax squashes Charlotte in the corner and leaves. Cargill then hits Charlotte with Jaded.

Backstage, Jackie Redmond interviews Gunther. Gunther says that "The American Nightmare" Cody Rhodes always finds a way to make everything about him and solely acts on emotion, and tonight, he will beat rationale into Cody. As for tomorrow, he does not care about Sami Zayn, and he will go into SummerSlam and become Undisputed WWE Champion. Candice LeRae wheels Johnny Gargano out, and tells Gunther that if he wins, Sami Zayn is also in the Undisputed WWE Championship match, and that she and Gargano need this win.

Backstage, CM Punk meets with "The American Nightmare" Cody Rhodes regarding his match with Gunther tonight, asking if it is a good idea. Cody says it is not, but Punk would have done the same thing.

Backstage, Jackie Redmond interviews Danhausen. Danhausen says he will not be outnumbered, then puts a cage with a stuffed black cat inside it on a nearby table, saying the cat will curse JD McDonagh on Saturday. A nearby monitor sparks, then Danhausen says he and Jackie should run.

Jacob leaves, then Tama Tonga and Talla Tonga show up, and Solo says that the two of them will win the WWE Tag Team Championships back.

Cody reminds Gunther that he is the one to get the drop on him, got a favor from "The Oracle" Paul Heyman, and refused to sign last week. He says that Gunther is making it weird and that he will make it simple, and tells him to sign the contract so he can guarantee himself an ass whipping at Clash in Italy, remembering to say "please" in the process.

They are not happy to see him, and Dominik tells Danhausen to buzz off before something bad happens to him. Danhausen curses Dominik, then vanishes as soon as The Judgment Day laugh.

Jackie Redmond interviews Rhea Ripley on the stage. Rhea Ripley shows up with Iyo Sky and says it has been a whirlwind of emotions as of late, and losing the Women's Tag Team Championships. She says that Iyo Sky ahs been a lot of things to her, including her best friend, and thanks Iyo for always supporting and standing by her as well as pulling her out of a very dark situation. Iyo says Rhea did the same for her, and says that she went into the Elimination Chamber and proved why she is on top. She says that she will be okay on Raw, and tells Rhea to handle her business and win the WWE Women's Championship at WrestleMania. Rhea says she will do it and do it for Iyo, and tells her to hold down Raw, because on Friday, she will meet Jade Cargill face-to-face on SmackDown, and come WrestleMania, she will be leaving as the WWE Women's Champion.

Penta beats "Dirty" Dominik Mysterio to become the WWE Intercontinental Champion after JD McDonagh grabs the ring bell hammer at Dominik's behest only for Finn to stop McDonagh and tell him to let Dominik win on his own. Dominik is able to ready Penta for the 619 afterwards, but Penta dodges it, hits the Mexican Destroyer and wins the match and the title.

Roman Reigns heads to the ring. CM Punk joins him before he can say much. Punk mentions the history between the two of them, then says that he has already won. He says the last time they were both in the ring, Roman told him that he hated him. Punk says that he has Roman where he wants him and that he is in Roman's head. Punk also says he can see right through Roman. Roman says that if it were not for the World Heavyweight Championship, Punk would not even be on his radar. He says that Punk was brought back to entertain the 30-to-40-year-old virgins and sell T-shirts, but not to become champion, then states that Punk cannot be trusted even though the fans believe him. He says that Punk bitch and moans backstage to the point that he considers Punk not to be championship material. He calls Punk "a punk ass bitch" and states that he will put Punk on "one of them John Cena retirement tours" before having him mentor people in NXT that he will smash. Roman tries to leave, but Punk does not let him, and reminds Roman that he is alone now and that he is the one who runs things while Roman cannot even get anything done on his own. Punk says he does not care if Roman hates him, but he will not let Roman disrespect him, and not only will he beat Roman, he will bury him next to his father. Punk then leaves the ring to end the show, leaving Roman disrespected.

Raw Deal - Raw recap for February 16, 2026

"The Oracle" Paul Heyman shows up with The Vision ("Big" Bronson Reed, Logan Paul, Austin Theory) and interrupts The Usos' (Jimmy and "Main Event" Jey Uso) entrance at the start of tonight's show. Paul Heyman shows up with The Vision and interrupts The Usos' entrance at the start of tonight's show. Logan Paul has to take the mic, and says that he has a vision to host Raw in the most beautiful city in the United States, which is not Memphis, Tennessee. He then says that The Vision is here, regardless. Heyman has the footage from last week of the attack from the man in the black hoodie replayed, and Austin Theory says that last week's main event was his match to win. General Manager Adam Pearce and says playtime is over, and Theory gets incensed by Pearce's interruption and says Pearce screwed him. Pearce has none of it and tells The Vision to come back to his office and converse like gentlemen. Heyman says he wants Bronson Reed in the Elimination Chamber in exchange for Pearce getting his show back. Pearce says Bronson will have to earn his way in, and that he will be in a qualifier next week. As Pearce demands The Vision leave the ring, LA Knight shows up. LA Knight says the chickens have come home to roost and that Theory screwed himself, then says Bronson Reed is the next and hopes he can kick his ass. Logan Paul reminds Knight of the car Bronson Reed put him through, and then proposes that he not only kicks The Vision's asses, but he also teams up with The Usos to do it, even though they do not have the best history. General Manager Adam Pearce makes the match official.

The Vision ("Big" Bronson Reed, Logan Paul, Austin Theory) beat LA Knight and The Usos (Jimmy and "Main Event" Jey Uso) in a six-man tag match. After the match, Logan Paul runs his mouth on a commentary headset only to receive The Stomp from the man in the black hoodie, who soon flees through the crowd.

Backstage, General Manager Adam Pearce (who is accompanied by a worker played by "The Gold Standard" Eli Knox) notices a crate that says "Do not open until 02/28/26." Adam Pearce tells Eli (who actually says that his name is Eli in this segment) to send the crate to SmackDown. Los Americanos (El Grande Americano II, Rayo Americano, Bravo Americano) show up, and El Grande Americano II is not happy that El Grande Americano I has qualified for the Elimination Chamber, and since he cannot qualify himself, he wants a match for the Intercontinental Championship. Pearce gives El Grande Americano II the opportunity to earn a shot tonight.

We hear from Bayley, Asuka and Nattie before their Elimination Chamber qualifier.

Asuka beats Bayley and Nattie by submission with an Asuka Lock to Bayley in a women's Elimination Chamber qualifier. After the match, Maxxine Dupri attacks Nattie on the stage, and referees have to break it up.

Backstage, General Manager Adam Pearce asks Oba Femi to look through a Raw contract, then tells him that "Raw needs a flagship." Oba says he needs time to decide, but Pearce tells him to take all the time he needs. On his way out, Oba Femi runs into Rusev, and both men have a staredown before Oba Femi leaves.

We see Michael Cole's interviews with Liv Morgan. "Dirty" Dominik Mysterio joins in as Liv Morgan announces she will not rush her WrestleMania main event decision and that she will take longer to decide, and that she will not let this moment pass her by. Stephanie Vaquer shows up and confronts Liv Morgan. Vaquer speaks Spanish the entire that she confronts Liv Morgan, and Dominik has to translate for Liv as Vaquer makes it clear she wants a piece of Liv at WrestleMania. Liv breaks down in tears after Vaquer leaves, and Liv and Dominik leave the room. (Vaquer's speech to Liv is translated, as follows: "Did you say ten years of hard work? What are you talking about? You’ve sacrificed nothing. WWE gave you everything. The best training, the best medical, you were given everything. You want to talk about sacrifice? I was born in Chile, where wrestling doesn’t exist. And now I’ve traveled all over the world. Japan, Mexico, Latin America, Europe. And I’ve conquered everything. You should be ashamed because you need to hide behind The Judgment Day (Finn Balor, "Dirty" Dominik Mysterio, Liv, Raquel Rodriguez, Roxanne Perez). It’s sad because you need to hide behind a man. But let me tell you something. I went through hell and made it mine. Everything I did was to get to WWE and become champion. This title to me means more than just a title. It’s for all the little girls, all the women who never got the opportunity and overcome anyway. Liv, if you pick me, you won’t win. Because I’m going to show you what a real champion is." Vaquer apologizes the next day for her promo for the "I was born in Chile, where wrestling doesn't exist" line, stating that professional wrestling was not developed at the time that she got started, and states that it was a mistake in wording during the broadcast.)

CM Punk heads to the ring. Punk says that General Manager Adam Pearce thinks he is jeopardizing the main event of WrestleMania, but Punk feels he is making things better and says that the fans deserve a fighting champion. He also states that Finn Balor deserves another shot at the World Heavyweight Championship because he deserves it as much as he deserves the ass beating he is about to give him for ruining the last time he got to share the ring with "The Phenomenal" AJ Styles. Punk admits that while the office is pissed off at him, he does and says things that piss people off, saying he would not be who and what he is if he did not do that. Suddenly, Finn Balor shows up and heads to the ring. "Dirty" Dominik Mysterio is not far behind, and neither is a returning JD McDonagh. Punk is about to use the microphone as a weapon as the three of them circle the ring. Finn Balor says they are not out here to fight, and that he wants to make one thing crystal clear. He says that to be the best in the world, you must train with the best catch wrestlers in Europe, learn from the best luchadors in Mexico, survive the toughest dojos in Japan, and show up your first night on Raw and beat Roman Reigns. Finn Balor says he is the best in the world, and when he wins the World Heavyweight Championship, he will not be jeopardizing the main event of WrestleMania; instead, he will be making it better. Punk wants to know why McDonagh and Dominik are here, then says he knew who Finn Balor was and that Finn Balor did all he just bragged about by himself, and says that Finn Balor used to mean something. He says that The Judgment Day ("Dirty" Dominik Mysterio, JD McDonagh, Liv Morgan, Raquel Rodriguez, Roxanne Perez) has been an anchor around his neck for some time and has only dragged him down to their level, as Dominik wears two titles he never defends and McDonagh needs help getting in the ring because his head is so big. This leads to a "bobblehead" chant, and admits that he is a smart man who does dumb things. Punk turns his back and dares the three of them to jump him from behind, saying that if Finn attacks, he will jeopardize his shot at being champion. He also says that while he does not need to prove he is the best in the world, maybe Finn Balor does. CM Punk leaves the ring and tosses his microphone towards Finn Balor, who has to hold JD McDonagh back.

Backstage, Byron Saxon interviews Rhea Ripley and Iyo Sky. Rhea says the road to WrestleMania is always a battle and last Friday was no exception. She says that Nia Jax and Lash Legend got carried away and failed to take their titles, and now they have to take them out. As Iyo Sky speaks, The Kabuki Warriors (Asuka and Kairi Sane) show up, and Kairi Sane says that Asuka is in the Elimination Chamber and that they will make sure Rhea and Iyo never win and that Asuka is champion. Asuka tells Rhea that she is not ready for the Elimination Chamber.

El Grande Americano II's opponent is revealed to be Penta.

Penta beats El Grande Americano II in a WWE Intercontinental Championship #1 contender's match. During the match, Rayo Americano distracts the referee so that Bravo Americano can hand El Grande Americano II the steel plate for his mask, but Bravo gets dragged underneath the ring. Rayo goes to save Bravo, but ends up pulling El Grande Americano I out of the ring. After the match, El Grande Americano I beats El Grande Americano II up and hits him with the Chaos Theory, then goes for an unmasking as El Grande Americano II tries to roll out of the ring. Rayo and Bravo save El Grande Americano II.

Backstage, Raquel Rodriguez walks off with Liv Morgan, then JD McDonagh tells Finn Balor that he is walking into CM Punk's hands. Finn says he has to prove to himself that he can do this, and McDonagh says he is trying to help him. Finn tells McDonagh that if he wants to help, then he needs to let him beat Punk alone. "Dirty" Dominik Mysterio is caught in the middle.

AJ Lee heads to the ring. She talks about how she walked in last week for moral support and walked out #1 contender for the Women's Intercontinental Championship. AJ says she had fun getting under Becky Lynch's skin, but was reminded this was serious business after being sent into a ring post. She says she has not had a singles match, let alone a shot at a title, in more than a decade, and that things have changed since the last time she was a champion, there was just one title. AJ says she loved the Divas Championship because she made that championship. She admits that she is not modest and that she knows who she is, and that the women's division that happened after she left was her gift to them. AJ says she wants to face the best of the best, but for now, all roads lead back to Becky. She says that Becky is mad at her for so many reasons, then says it is not her fault because she gave Becky a ten-year head start and Becky has failed to catch up. AJ then says that without Becky, she would not have had a reason to come back and prove that she can still be a champion, and states that if she walks out of Elimination Chamber victorious, then she is walking into WrestleMania as champion. She then calls out Becky Lynch if Becky is in the mood for a fight. Becky Lynch shows up and says this is just an opportunity for AJ to gather family and friends together for a retirement match she never had and never deserved. She says that AJ Lee's real gift was leaving, and that she has been making history while AJ Lee has been making comic books. Becky tells AJ Lee that if she can make it through Elimination Chamber, she can dictate on her computer about her match with her and maybe her comic book can actually sell. AJ Lee dares Becky Lynch to get into the ring so they can throw hands right now, but Becky says she is not stupid and knows that AJ Lee will sucker punch her, but AJ Lee lets Becky take the first shot. Becky gets in the ring and AJ Lee dares Becky to swing at her with her hands behind her back, but Becky says she knows the game that AJ Lee is playing. Becky refuses and leaves the ring, sayings he does not fight in Memphis, Tennessee.

Backstage, General Manager Adam Pearce is talking with a security guard (played by Gio Savage) when he sees The Vision ("The Oracle" Paul Heyman, "Big" Bronson Reed, Logan Paul, Austin Theory) at his office doors. Paul Heyman has to hold Austin Theory back, then tells Theory and Logan Paul to head to the jet before demanding something be done about the masked man in the black hoodie. Pearce says the masked man is as much of a problem for him as it is for Heyman, then Bronson Reed says he solves problems and that he will take care of the masked man and win in the Elimination Chamber.

Next week: a tribute to "The Phenomenal" AJ Styles!

We hear from Gunther, "Dirty" Dominik Mysterio and Je'Von Evans before their Elimination Chamber qualifier.

Je'Von Evans beats "Dirty" Dominik Mysterio and Gunther in a men's Elimination Chamber qualifier. During the match, Gunther confronts "Dirty" Dominik Mysterio on the outside for having the ring bell hammer as a potential weapon only to be smacked with the ring bell from the top of the barricade by Dragon Lee. Dominik hits the 619 on Je'Von Evans back in the ring only to miss the top rope frog splash, and Je'Von hits Dominik with the OG Cutter to win the match and qualify.

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

Raw Deal - Raw recap for January 12, 2026

Iyo Sky and Rhea Ripley head to the ring to start tonight's show. Rhea announces that they have put The Kabuki Warriors (Asuka and Kairi Sane) and are now the new WWE Women's Tag Team Champions. The crowd chants "You deserve it!" before Iyo stating that The Kabuki Warriors have no respect until she and Rhea beat it into them, then says that nobody is ready for "Rhiyo." As Rhea throws down a challenge to any women's tag team that wants to step up, Liv Morgan and Roxanne Perez show up to congratulate Rhea and Iyo before Liv declares that the Women's Tag Team Championships still belong to her and that she lost them. She demands that Rhea and Iyo give the titles back or else she will take them back. Suddenly, Bayley and Lyra Valkyria appear and head to the ring. Bayley welcomes Rhea and Iyo back to Raw and says that while Liv did not lose the women's tag titles, Roxanne did, and since she beat Roxanne a few weeks ago, she and Lyra deserve a women's tag team title shot. Rhea is okay with that after throwing down a challenge, then Iyo says "I've got this" and chews out the two others in Japanese until The Kabuki Warriors suddenly show up, pull Rhea and Iyo out of the ring, and brawl with the other two teams. Rhea and Iyo get back in the ring and soon send everyone else packing.

Backstage, Jackie Redmond interviews "The Phenomenal" AJ Styles. Styles says that when he got into the business, he learned it was all about respect for the ring, the opponent and those who came before. He admits that he and John Cena were not always on the same page, but they bonded over respect, and Gunther has disrespected Cena. He says he slapped the taste out of Gunther's mouth because Cena could not, then proclaims that he will teach Gunther learn about respect and make it a hill worthy dying on before promising to make Gunther tap out like a little bitch.

Backstage, Liv Morgan and Roxanne Perez run into Finn Balor being pre-occupied with WWE 2K25. Liv says she and Roxanne are no longer waiting for a title shot, then says it is time to stop playing games. Liv leaves, then Roxanne says that Liv has a point before following suit.

Je'Von Evans beats Bravo Americano. After the match, Rayo Americano gets on the apron, and when Je'Von goes after him, El Grande Americano pulls Je'Von out of the way and tosses him over the announce table. Je'Von soon stands up on the announce table, jumps over all three Americanos, and makes a beeline to the entranceway.

Backstage, General Manager Adam Pearce speaks with a referee before Paul Heyman shows up. Pearce wants Heyman to tell Bron Breakker that he is not in the mood for whatever he has planned. Heyman says he will let Breakker know if Breakker shows up with bad intentions.

CM Punk heads to the ring. Punk tells the fans that he will never tire of being World Heavyweight Champion and plans to hold the title forever, but this is the long road to WrestleMania and anything can happen, if "The American Nightmare" Cody Rhodes is any indication. He says that just because he plans to be champion forever does not mean it will happen, but with the fans on his side, it feels possible. Punk says he promised to be a fighting champion, and with the Royal Rumble and the Elimination Chamber on the horizon, the road to WrestleMania goes through him. He talks about his battle last week with Bron Breakker and says it is time for the champ to "do champ stuff" and find out who his next challenger is now that The Vision ("The Oracle" Paul Heyman, Bron Breakker, "Big" Bronson Reed, Logan Paul, Austin Theory) is in his rear view mirror. All of a sudden, Finn Balor shows up and heads to the ring, and tells Punk that he is not waiting for the Royal Rumble or the Elimination Chamber before reminding Punk that he listed him as one of the people he wanted to face. Punk says Finn is correct, but wants to know where Finn's ambition is, as he has helped everyone but himself and has been playing video games in the back. Punk wants to know if he will be facing Finn Balor or "Finn Balor from The Judgment Day" (Finn Balor, "Dirty" Dominik Mysterio, Liv Morgan, Raquel Rodriguez, Roxanne Perez) before telling Finn that he is a man of his word and that they will do this tonight. Finn says that he has been around long enough to know that time ends everything, then says that he is not jumping the line because the line starts with him. He tells Punk not to worry about The Judgment Day, but that he will not be alone, as he has watched Punk's career and watched him claim hometown advantage in Chicago, Illinois. He says that next week's show is in Belfast, Northern Ireland and that WWE will have an Irish world champion. Punk apologizes to the fans in Dusseldorf, Germany for Finn disappointing them when they wanted to see the champ work, then apologizes in advance to the fans in Belfast when he puts one of their countrymen to sleep with a GTS and remains World Heavyweight Champion.

The Judgment Day (Liv Morgan and Roxanne Perez) beats The Kabuki Warriors (Asuka and Kairi Sane) and the team of Bayley and Lyra Valkyria in a Triple Threat Tag Team Match to become #1 contenders for the WWE Women's Tag Team Championships.

We hear from Becky Lynch. She says it has only been one week since she took her title back, yet Maxxine Dupri has gotten a rematch in one week for the title that took her two months to reclaim. She says that AJ Lee and referee Jessica Carr screwed her out of the Women's Intercontinental Championship and calls it part of the corruption that is allowed under "Powerhouse Pearce." Becky says she will do what she always does and turn lemons into lemonade, because next week in Belfast, Northern Ireland, she will prove that she is the best. She hopes that Maxxine Dupri has enjoyed her time in the spotlight, because next week, it ends, and Maxxine will say goodbye to the big time.

Backstage, Jackie Redmond interviews Alpha Academy (Maxxine Dupri, Otis, Akira Tozawa). Maxxine admits she is disappointed to lose the Women's Intercontinental Championship , but being champion proved that she belonged. Maxxine says that she learned how to believe in herself in order to become champion and that it is time that Otis and Tozawa do the same before calling what happened last week "a setback" and not a defeat, and while she is fully aware that Becky Lynch is the greatest of all time, she had to cheat to beat her. Next week, she will break Becky's ankle in an ankle lock.

Michael Cole interviews Raquel Rodriguez on the stage. Raquel says that she was screwed out of the Women's World Championship, yet everyone wants to feel sorry for Stephanie Vaquer. Raquel states that she will not stop until she gets Vaquer in the ring, and when she stands tall as Women's World Champion, then everyone can feel sorry for Vaquer. Stephanie Vaquer shows up with mulitple officials trying to beg her off, and Raquel Rodriguez heads to the back. As Vaquer says that her injury will not stop her and dares anyone to face her, Raquel suddenly rushes back to Vaquer and attacks her.

Backstage, "Main Event" Jey Uso in the phone with Jimmy Uso when Alpha Academy (Otis and Akira Tozawa) show up wanting a piece of Jimmy and Jey for the World Tag Team Championships. Jey says he and Jimmy will talk and see what happens, but warns Alpha Academy that they are stepping with the best tag team in the game.

Penta and Dragon Lee beat The Vision ("Big" Bronson Reed and Austin Theory) by disqualificaton after Dragon Lee is suddenly speared by Bron Breakker on the outside in full view of the referee. After the match, a vicious Breakker hits Penta with another Spear in the ring. When Breakker goes for another Spear on Dragon Lee on the outside, General Manager Adam Pearce shows up and stops Bron Breakker, telling him that this is not happening tonight. As this goes on, "Big" Bronson Reed hits Penta with a Tsunami. Pearce chews out Bronson, but that allows Breakker to hit another Spear on Penta. Pearce chews out Breakker again after forcefully turning him around, and this time, Breakker grabs Pearce and forces him into the corner, and the rest of The Vision have to hold Breakker back as Breakker dares Pearce to do something. At this point, Pearce wants Breakker gone.

Backstage, Je'Von Evans meets with Penta and Dragon Lee at medical and asks them to tell him if they need anything.

Backstage, an angry General Manager Adam Pearce indefinitely suspends Bron Breakker for putting his hands on him. "Big" Bronson Reed has to physically seperate Breakker from Pearce. "The Oracle" Paul Heyman shows up tells Pearce this was a mistake, as Pearce put his hands on Breakker first.

We see WWE Chief Content Officer Paul "Triple H" Levesque going through celebrity WrestleMania pitches only to immediately regret it.

We see a vignette for Oba Femi.

Backstage, Jackie Redmond interviews Gunther, who calls "The Phenomenal" AJ Styles disrespectful for slapping him in the face for something he had no involvement in, especially after he made John Cena tap out like a little bitch. He says that if he could make Cena tap out, then Styles should be worried about what will happen to him after the bell rings.

Gunther beats "The Phenomenal" AJ Styles. During the match, Styles feels Gunther tap his hand on his left hip as he has him in the Calf Crusher, and Styles is convinced that he has won by submission even though referee Rod Zapata did not see Gunther tap out. As the referee tells the timekeeper that the match is continuing, Gunther hits Styles with a low blow before powerbombing him for the pin and the win.

Raw Deal - Raw recap for December 29, 2025

The Vision ("The Oracle" Paul Heyman, Bron Breakker, "Big" Bronson Reed, Logan Paul, Austin Theory) makes their way to the ring to start tonight's show. Paul Heyman gets furious with the "CM Punk" chants and states that The Vision will main event WrestleMania five years from now, then announces Austin Theory as their newest member. Theory says he has worked his entire career for this moment, and declares Bron Breakker the next World Heavyweight Champion. Heyman then proclaims that the needs of The Vision preclude those of everyone else before CM Punk shows up. Punk calls out Bron Breakker, then says he could get in the ring, say a few things and then get destroyed. He then says he likes to look a man in the eyes before he puts him to sleep, and tells The Vision to make it just him and Breakker in the ring so he clear the air. Breakker agrees to these terms, and Punk and Breakker have a staredown in the middle of the ring. Breakker states that The Vision is looking towards the future, and that he will become the next World Heavyweight Champion. He says that he is tired of everyone calling him the future and saying that he will "figure it out" and main event everything, then says that he is the present. Breakker then accuses Punk of seeing him as "the new guy in town" and dares him to find someone like him in the locker room. Breakker says that everything he has had done has been under a microscope and that he has been held to a higher standard, and that on January 5th, he is willing to die for the World title as much as Punk, and that he will put Punk in the ground. Punk tells Breakker that he has made a mistake of assuming what he thinks of him, then says Breakker that while Breakker is more ready than anyone else in The Vision, the World title is a privilege to carry and he is not ready to let it go. Punk says he is not ready to stop being champion, and while Breakker has what it takes, he is not CM Punk. He says that someday, someone will beat him for the World title, but it will not be Breakker.

Backstage, Jackie Redmond interviews Raquel Rodriguez. Raquel says there will be no tricks tonight and that nobody is getting in the way of what is hers. Liv Morgan suddenly shows up and tells her to take care of business tonight. Raquel says that she will take care of business and do it alone, even as Roxanne Perez shows up after she is mentioned, and that she does not need luck.

Stephanie Vaquer retain the Women's World Championship against Nikki Bella and Raquel Rodriguez after Raquel hits Nikki with a Tejana Bomb only for Vaquer to send Raquel tumbling out of the ring to pick the bones and get the win.

Backstage, Jackie Redmond interviews Gunther when R-Truth confronts him from his recent disrespect. Gunther simply laughs in R-Truth's face and takes this as a challenge.

Olympic Gold Medalist Noah Lyles is seen in the front row.

The Kabuki Warriors (Asuka and Kairi Sane) head to the ring. Asuka talks about how she recently beat Rhea Ripley, then says the fans are "stupid babies" for thinking Rhea can take her on, then Kairi Sane says Iyo should never have attacked her before Asuka demands her microphone. Asuka then says that Rhea and Iyo paid for their disrespect last week, then Rhea and Iyo show up and chase The Kabuki Warriors out of the ring for a brawl on the outside. Kairi shoves Iyo into the announce table only to eat a right hand from Rhea, then Asuka attacks Rhea from behind before tossing Iyo into the timekeeper's area so that she and Kairi can gang up on Rhea. Iyo stops a double-team In-Sane Elbow just in time, and she and Rhea soon send The Kabuki Warriors packing.

Gunther beats R-Truth by submission with a sleeper hold.

We hear from Rhea Ripley and Iyo Sky. Rhea says Asuka is delusional after everything she has done and keeps doing to them, then says that Asuka is the one who has been disrespectful. She says that last week was the first and last time Asuka will beat her, because she will destroy her next week. Iyo tells Kairi that she is lost and that it is too late, for she has chosen the wrong path. She says Asuka was her senpai, but the student has become the master, and next week, they will teach The Kabuki Warriors (Asuka and Kairi Sane) a lesson in respect and become Women's Tag Team Champions.

Maxxine Dupri heads to the ring. Maxxine says that she would not be standing in the ring as a champion if it were not for the fans and brags about how she made Becky Lynch tap to an ankle lock before Becky Lynch shows up. Becky says the only thing she tapped to was living in Orlando, Florida, and if the fans get rich enough, they can move out, too. Maxxine tells Becky to make her next move wisely or else she will break her. Becky admits, very reluctantly, that Maxxine has gotten better while still accusing her of stealing a title, but Maxxine says that she only stole the spotlight. Becky gets furious and says she came out here to be nice before making a huge deal about how great she is. Becky also says she has overcome every corruption and injustice thrown her way and that she always finds a way to win, then wants to know if Maxxine is everything she says she is or everything Becky knows Maxxine is before welcoming her to the big time.

He says that Uncle Howdy has been watching his family, but they have been watching him. He introduces Uncle Howdy to his family tree, then says Howdy's family has something that belongs to his: the WWE Tag Team titles. Solo warns Uncle Howdy that everything that was Bray Wyatt's and is now Howdy's will soon become his, as he is going to take everything from him that he loves and show everyone that Howdy does not deserve the name "Wyatt." He says he will do this because he can, and that all he has to do is "Bo-lieve." We then see a rebuttal from The Wyatt Sicks, who show up on the apron when the lights go out.

Raw Deal - Raw recap for December 1, 2025

Rhea Ripley and Iyo Sky head to the ring to start tonight's show. Rhea admits her face is sore and her team is a little banged up, but they all won the war, and while it took a little time for everyone to get on the same page, they all came out victorious. She then says that she and Iyo want revenge, and that it will start by taking the tag team titles off The Kabuki Warriors (Asuka and Kairi Sane). Iyo Sky says that nobody is ready for "Rhiyo." As Rhea calls out The Kabuki Warriors, Charlotte Flair and Alexa Bliss head to the ring. Alexa wants Rhea Ripley and Iyo Sky want to back off from the tag team titles, with Charlotte agreeing, saying that they are the former champions and never got their rematch. Rhea Ripley tells Charlotte and Alexa to get to the back of the line, and that she does not back down from anyone. Alexa challenges Rhea and Iyo to a match tonight, and Iyo says "You are on!"

Backstage, General Manager Adam Pearce makes Charlotte Flair and Alexa Bliss vs. Rhea Ripley and Iyo Sky official for tonight's main event over the phone with SmackDown General Manager Nick Aldis. Ivy Nile shows up wanting a match for the Women's Intercontinental Championship against Maxxine Dupri, and Pearce says he will get some details sorted to make it official. Ivy Nile leaves, then Paul Heyman and Bron Breakker show up. Heyman says he has no idea who the man in black from Survivor Series was, then mentions that Breakker pinned CM Punk and that they have much to discuss.

LA Knight beats "Main Event" Jey Uso after countering the pinfall attempt from an Uso Splash with a crucifix pin to advance to the finals of the Last Time is Now Tournament. After the match, Jey Uso loses it, and starts throwing around the Prime Hydration Station and the ring steps after he becomes frustrated with himself for losing in the tournament to LA Knight.

Backstage, Bayley and Lyra Valkyria want a shot at the Women's Tag Team Championships from General Manager Adam Pearce. Pearce puts them under consideration before The Kabuki Warriors (Asuka and Kairi Sane) show up and says that if Bayley joined them at WarGames, they could have won. Bayley says The Kabuki Warriors have only themselves to blame for losing at Survivor Series, but Asuka tells Bayley that she is not in the main event.

The Judgment Day (Finn Balor, JD McDonagh, "Dirty" Dominik Mysterio, Raquel Rodriguez, Roxanne Perez) head to the ring. "Dirty" Dominik Mysterio says that John Cena is the greatest of all time, but he beat the greatest of all time, making him the greatest Mysterio of all time, greatest luchador of all time, king of the luchadores and the greatest Intercontinental Champion of all time. He says he could not have done it without The Judgment Day, then says there is one person he could definitely not have done it without: Liv Morgan, who heads to the ring. Liv Morgan says that nobody saw her coming, including John Cena, and Dominik says that Cena was going to figure out their plan, but once that failed, they decided to play the ace up their sleeve and got back both his title and Liv Morgan. Liv says she missed Raquel and that it is nice to see The Judgment Day, then says that she has been hearing some things about The Judgment Day being weak, having lost some of its gold, and having fallen apart. She says that this will change because she and The Judgment Day are back and coming for everything that is theirs, and as of right now, they run Raw. She then slaps and then jumps on top of Dominik before making out with him.

We see footage of Maxxine Dupri training hard with Natalya.

The Vision ("The Oracle" Paul Heyman, Bron Breakker, "Big" Bronson Reed, Logan Paul) head to the ring. Paul Heyman gives a shout-out to Brock Lesnar, saying he is like no other human being on the planet and is still "The Beast," and a shout-out to Drew McIntyre, saying it was a pleasure doing business with him. He also gives a shout-out to Bronson Reed for hitting everyone on the other team with a Tsunami and another to Logan Paul for fitting in with his vision of the future, then announces that CM Punk will lose the World Heavyweight Championship to Bron Breakker on January 5th. Breakker says he is a little upset tonight not because of where they are or the man in black who tried to ruin his moment, but he is disappointed at how easy it was to pin CM Punk, as he thought he would have to dig deep down to beat him. He then calls CM Punk "a soft-ass bitch" and no different from any other veteran who has lived off past glory as well as no different from Seth "Freakin'" Rollins, due to his wife being a bigger star than he is. Breakker says their match will be a different kind of fight, as CM Punk tried to break his neck and ruin his life as well as take away everything he has ever worked for, and for that, he will ruin Punk's life and come for everything. He then says that when he is announced as the new World Heavyweight Championship, CM Punk will look up to him and realize he is nowhere close to "the real Best in the World."

Backstage, Jackie Redmond interviews "Main Event" Jey Uso, who says that there are a lot of people in his head who need to get out and that he is to blame, then says that titles look better on Roman Reigns' shoulders and not his.

Gunther kicks Talla low and fends off Solo, and as the referee is chastising Talla Tonga, Gunther kicks Solo in the groin and powerbombs him for the win. After the match, LA Knight gets in the ring and tells Gunther that he will be the one to face John Cena.

General Manager Adam Pearce is no closer to finding out who the man in black from Survivor Series was. After the referee leaves, AJ Styles and Dragon Lee show up wanting to defend their titles again next week, and Dragon Lee recommends The War Raiders (Ivar and Erik). Pearce makes it official.

Backstage, Jackie Redmond interviews Rey Mysterio. Rey says the main issue is "Dirty" Dominik Mysterio, but as long as he is hiding behind The Judgment Day, he has no problem going through them one at a time. He also has not ruled out another run towards the Intercontinental Championship. Logan Paul also shows up, and Rey calls Logan "the one guy more of an ass than his own son" before Logan states that the Intercontinental title belongs to him. He tells Rey to step down, but Rey says "Who's gonna stop me, pendejo?" Logan threatens to not only stop Rey, but retire him. Rey slaps Logan in the face, and officials rush in to restore order.
