Raw Deal - Raw recap for September 8, 2025

"Main Event" Jey Uso heads to the ring from the crowd to start tonight's show. Jimmy Uso joins him halfway. Jey calls out The Vision (Seth "Freakin'" Rollins, Bron Breakker, "Big" Bronson Reed), saying that they messed up. Bronson Reed and Bron Breakker show up, and Breakker asks Jimmy is he is lost before stating that The Vision runs Raw. Breakker then gets angry thinking about what Roman Reigns did to Paul Heyman to the point that Bronson Reed holds him back and demands that The Usos (Jimmy and "Main Event" Jey Uso) acknowledge their "Tribal Thief." Bronson says that Jimmy was not a factor in Seth Rollins' vision on SmackDown, then brings up Roman Reigns when the crowd chants for him. Jimmy tells Bronson to keep Roman's name out of his mouth before stating that The Usos are the superior team. The two of them make fun of Paul Heyman and the fact that Breakker and Bronson are taking orders from him before announcing that they have a tag team match at Wrestlepalooza. Jey then says they can go right now, but Bronson says they can wait. All of a sudden, LA Knight suddenly rushes out in street clothes to attack Bronson and Breakker to behind only to be overpowered. This allows The Usos to hit Breakker and Bronson with simultaneous tope suicidas before Jey and LA Knight take turns punching Bronson. Bronson nearly shoves Knight into Jey and squashes Jey, but Knight gets the upper hand.

Raw has a special start time of 7 PM Eastern/4 PM Pacific next week.

Backstage, Byron Saxton interviews LA Knight after Knight argues with General Manager Adam Pearce. Knight says he wants what is his, then says he did not throw "Big" Bronson Reed into "Main Event" Jey Uso on purpose and that he could have taken Jey out himself if he wanted to. In the meantime, he wants a piece of Bronson Reed.

"The Phenomenal" AJ Styles beats El Grande Americano. During the match, a second El Grande Americano shows up and distracts AJ Styles, allowing El Grande Americano to throw Styles into the ring steps so hard that Styles trips and tumbles into the barricade. Near the end of the match, the second El Grande Americano gets on the ring apron, but gets taken down promptly by Dragon Lee. El Grande Americano then goes for a schoolkid pin, but Styles reverses it into the Styles Clash for the win.

Backstage, General Manager Adam Pearce is meeting with Iyo Sky when Nikki Bella wants an update on the Women's World Championship situation. The Kabuki Warriors (Asuka and Kairi Sane) show up and tell Nikki to stay away, and as Nikki says that Asuka does not have to like her but still has to respect her. Asuka threatens to beat the respect out of Nikki tonight.

We see a vignette for AJ Lee.

Raquel Rodriguez beats Lyra Valkyria after yanking Lyra off the top rope for the Tejana Bomb.

Backstage, The War Raiders (Ivar and Eric) tell Penta that they have his back, then Penta meets with General Manager Adam Pearce regarding a title shot. Suddenly, Rusev shows up and demands that Pearce follow the plan so that he becomes champion. Penta sees Rusev as an obstacle, and this leads to Pearce putting them both in a match tonight.

Backstage, "The Phenomenal" AJ Styles thanks Dragon Lee for having his back when Jimmy Uso shows up looking for "Main Event" Jey Uso. Jimmy soon finds Jey, who is about to leave when Jimmy says they have a play to run regarding LA Knight vs. "Big" Bronson Reed. Jey wants nothing to do with it, but Jimmy says The Vision (Seth "Freakin'" Rollins, Bron Breakker, "Big" Bronson Reed) is their problem. Jey does not want to help LA Knight, saying it will not get them anywhere, and says that either everyone acknowledges them or they will smash them all. Jimmy says that Jey is sounding more like Roman Reigns right now, but Jey says that maybe sounding like himself is not worth it as he walks out.

AJ Lee heads to the ring. She is wearing the WWE Women's Intercontinental Championship on the way there, even though Becky Lynch is still the champion. AJ Lee re-introduces herself for "those of you who weren't there ten years ago when your parents got excited last week" and as "your favorite's wrestler's favorite wrestler." She mentions her retirement ten years ago, saying she felt she had accomplished everything she was able to in wrestling and thought she would never set foot in a wrestling again, and went on a journey to accomplish new goals and improve her mental health. She also says that she was not healthy and that she needed to get right, and that she managed to turn all of her mental chaos into a superpower. She says that it is a fight, but the fight is worth it as well as those who do the fighting. AJ says she was doing all right for a long time until she was watching Raw, and says it is one thing to see CM Punk fighting Drew McIntyre or Seth Rollins or John Cena, but another thing to see him in the ring with Becky Lynch. She says she wanted to like Becky as they had so much in common and that there was a world where they could have been friends, but she had to berate and put her hands on Punk. Becky shows up and calls CM Punk "[AJ's] stank-ass husband" and says she and AJ are nothing alike, then says that she is the greatest of all time and that AJ does not deserve to even touch the WWE Women's Intercontinental Championship. AJ Lee messes with Becky Lynch briefly before laying the title on the mat and daring Becky to come and get it. The fans chant "Chicken" when Becky hesitates, then wants to know where CM Punk is, accusing him of hiding behind AJ Lee. She says that AJ Lee had nothing to do with Rollins' vision and then decides to bring out Rollins to show what a real champion looks like. Rollins shows up and asks AJ to give the Women's Intercontinental Championship back so they can all leave "this dump of a city." AJ gives them the option of Becky entering the ring and risk receiving a black eye, or she can give her the title after she and Rollins agree to a tag match against her and CM Punk. Rollins says that he calls the shot, not AJ, as he enters the ring so he can hand the Women's Intercontinental Championship back to Becky. AJ soon stands between Rollins and the title and stands in his way. As Rollins says the Women's Intercontinental Championship does not belong to AJ, Punk shows up and moves past Becky to nearly put Rollins in the GTS. Seth angrily agrees to the match for Wrestlepalooza, then AJ throws the Women's Intercontinental Championship at Becky.

We hear from Bayley, who says that she does not know what the next step is for her and that all she knows is that the last person she wanted to hurt with Lyra Valkyria. She says that those they hurt before, even if they deserved it, found it in their hearts to forgive her, but she does not know who Lyra can do that when she cannot even forgive herself. Bayley's two sides start arguing again, then Bayley says that she will make it right.

Rusev beats Penta. During the match, The New Day (Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods) and Grayson Waller show up, and Penta is able to take them all down with a tope suicida. Shortly after this, Woods goes after Penta on the apron only to be kicked down from the top rope. Penta then leaps into a Matchka Kick, and Rusev gets the win.

Backstage, Jimmy Uso meets with LA Knight. Knight says he has tried to do "the teamwork thing" only to get superkicked in the mouth and that there is no "we," and that he will handle "Big" Bronson Reed on his own.

Asuka beats Nikki Bella with the Asuka Lock.

Backstage at The Judgment Day (Finn Balor, JD McDonagh, Roxanne Perez, Raquel Rodriguez) clubhouse, Finn Balor congratulates Raquel Rodriguez for winning tonight, then says that Roxanne Perez will beat Lyra Valkyria next week. "Dirty" Dominik Mysterio shows up, and when Finn Balor says that nobody wants to help without expecting something in return, Dominik gets frustrated and leaves. Roxanne leaves to talk to Dominik.

Backstage, Nikki Bella runs into The Kabuki Warriors (Asuka and Kairi Sane). Asuka wants to know what happened to Nikki, and Kairi Sane has to stand between them when Nikki shoves Asuka. Rhea Ripley soon shows up, and Asuka soon walks away.

"Big" Bronson Reed beats LA Knight with the Jagged Edge following the distraction from Bron Breakker. After the match, Bron Breakker attacks LA Knight, then Jimmy Uso shows up and fights both Breakker and Bronson off only to get Speared. "Main Event" Jey Uso then shows up and fends Breakker and Bronson off, but he too gets Speared. Breakker stacks both Jimmy and Jey together for a Tsunami, but LA Knight grabs a metal folding chair and hits Bronson in the back with it. Bronson and Breakker retreat, then Knight asks Jey if they are good before helping Jimmy up. Jey Uso then hits LA Knight with a Spear and tells Jimmy Uso that they are even to end the show.

He then says Miz is the one playing and that he did not need Cena's endorsement as he has always endorsed himself.

The Brawling Brutes (Ridge Holland and Butch) then show up, and Butch says it is fight night before Ridge Holland states that they are here to have "a banger in Bean Town" before telling The Judgment Day they have picked the worst opponents, as he has broken people like Finn Balor.

Backstage, Gia Miller interviews Jordynne Grace. Jordynne says Masha Slamovich is really good, but she psyches her opponents out before the match in order to win.

Eddie tells Alexander to come to the ring and make his decision. Alexander shows up, and Eddie says that just because they are opponent does not mean they have to be enemies. He says that they will have their war at Bound For Glory, then says there is a war out there that is bigger than anyone can recognize. When Alexander asks Eddie if he thinks the business is out to get him and that someone is pulling the stream, Eddie says yes. Eddie says that he has been plagued by the adulation of so-called fans and led astray by the empty promises of Impact Wrestling, but now, he can see clearly, and so can Alexander. He says that he has chosen his side, and that it is time for Alexander to choose his side on the war right here, right now.

CM Punk thanks Aunt Linda - who is part of Brian Pillman's family - who is in the front row, calling her "a legitimate angel," then names a few people who made surprise appearances at All Out, then says he texted his wife April, who asked what is next. Punk says he will leave what is next up to the fans, then Tazz interrupts him. Punk tells Tazz not to interrupt him again, and Tazz says he is tired of the "bullshit lovefest" that Punk is doing. Tazz says that while Punk was impressive, he tells him not to mention any members of Team Tazz. CM Punk says nobody mentioned them as Hook and Powerhouse Hobbs show up, but Tazz says he has done it in interviews.

We hear from Matt Hardy, who says he will take Orange Cassidy's hair and shave it off. We then hear from Orange Cassidy, who says "Whatever."

MJF and Wardlow head to the ring. MJF says that prior to Sunday, he had beaten Chris Jericho three times, and on Sunday, he beat him a fourth time in the middle of the ring only for the match to be restarted due to extreme bias against him. He says there is bias in the locker room because everyone wants to be him, and expects the fans not to understand because they are from "Shitsinnati." He also says Cincinnati, Ohio is the biggest dumpster in the world. MJF then says that Ohio is part of the Mid-West because "everything is mid," including Skyline Chili, the Cincinnati Reds and everyone who lives in the city, then dares someone to jump the guardrail so he can jump everyone in the town. He then says that nobody will do it because they are cowards, then threatens to knock Aunt Linda's teeth down her throat if she makes eye contact, then makes fun of the woman next to her, who happens to be Brian Pillman's daughter. MJF then says this explains her vile looks, then Brian Pillman Jr. shows up and says that while MJF had a silver spoon upbringing and comes from a great city, his city breeds badasses like Brian Pillman and Jon Moxley. After Pillman Jr. welcomes him to the jungle, MJF tells him it was a bad idea to go toe-to-toe with him on the microphone before mocking his mother's meth addiction and says that his mother should have swallowed. Wardlow stands between MJF and Pillman Jr., then MJF asks him if he will help him like he did Sunday before telling him to stand in the corner and look cute. He then tells Pillman to get out of the ring before he aborts him like his mother should have. Pillman Jr. attacks MJF, and it takes two pull-offs for Wardlow to suplex Pillman Jr. before laying out Griff Garrison with a clothesline before MJF hits Garrison with the Dynamite Diamond Ring.

Tony Schiavone interviews The Elite in the ring. Don Callis says Sunday was about The Elite and Kenny Omega proving why he is the greatest wrestler in the industry while The Young Bucks (Matt and Nick Jackson) provided entertainment as one of the best tag teams in the world despite losing the AEW tag team titles. After Callis says they will get the AEW tag team titles back, Nick Jackson announces they got their best friend back, and introduces Adam Cole to the ring. Cole stares down Schiavone and tells him that if he looks at Dr. Britt Baker, D.M.D. the wrong way, he will slap the glasses off his face and whup his ass, then tells him to get out of the ring. Schiavone reluctantly leaves the ring, then Cole says AEW is the best wrestling company in the world because of everyone from The Elite down to the fans who paid a ticket to be here. Cole says that he has been elite for a long time and has won world title while proving he is a once-in-a-generation wrestler, and says he is now with the best in The Elite, whom everyone should be thanking now that they are complete. He then announces that he will make his in-ring debut for AEW next week, and says that when he proves how good he is, he will show how elite The Elite really is. Kenny Omega then brings up the interruption from Bryan Danielson last week only for Bryan Danielson to show up again. Omega asks The Elite to leave the ring to allow for room between himself and Danielson, and Omega says Danielson is the man he wants to speak with. Danielson takes the microphone from Omega's hand and asks the fans if they want to see the two of them fight, which the fans want, then says Omega does not want to fight him because he knows he is better and that he will kick his head in. Omega charges at Danielson only to be put in the LeBell Lock, and The Elite gang up on Danielson only for Christian Cage, Frankie Kazarian and Jurassic Express (Jungle Boy, Marko Stunt, Luchasaurus) to collectively make the save for Danielson by laying out The Elite.

Young says this was by design and that him winning the Impact World Championship was "100% inevitable." Suddenly, Alisha Edwards shows up. Alisha says Eric Young is nothing more than a coward who came back to Impact to make a statement only to injure people, including her husband Eddie, who she says will come back and take the World Championship.

Myers then demands Willie shake his hand like a true professional, and gives him the opportunity to come to the ring to do so. Willie Mack shows up and says he'd rather put both hands around Myers' neck and shake it once or twice, then says that Impact management have given him a rematch against Myers tonight, right now.

"The Last Real Man" Silas Young and Josh "The Goods" Woods show up. As the fans chant "Happy birthday!", Silas asks Woods why has to shake the hands of all the "average" fans before stating it is great to be in Milwaukee, Wisconsin tonight. He says that he wants to give back to the business by taking a protege under his own wing, and while Woods gives him a bit of a hard time, he has went 3-0 on the Global Wars Espectacular tour and is deserving of an "'atta boy." He then says there is another set of guys from the Milwaukee area who also wrestle for ROH, and brings them out: The Bouncers (The Beer City Bruiser and Brian Milonas). Silas admits that he and The Bouncers have had their problems in the past, but this is their hometown and it is time to put their differences aside. The Beer City Bruiser says it is good to be on speaking terms again, as they killed it together and are killing it even after going their separate ways. He then says people have told him that today is, then everyone sings "Happy Birthday" to Silas. All of a sudden, Silas attacks The Beer City Bruiser, and when Milonas confronts him, he is suddenly attack from behind with a steel chair by Vinny Marseglia. Woods is shocked, but Silas and Marseglia continue to attack The Bouncers before tying them to the rope with zip ties, all while Woods tries to stop the carnage in vain. Marseglia then press a turnbuckle hook to The Bruiser's mouth to the point that blood comes out of his mouth and his last remaining tooth is ripped out of his mouth. The Bruiser spits blood into Marseglia's face, and Marseglia responds by hitting him in the head with the turnbuckle hook.

Matt Taven then takes the microphone and tells Rush that he will not run through everyone and take the ROH World Championship, as he has defeated the undefeatable, including Jeff Cobb. He says there is a long list of "Melvins," and that he has waited such a long time to add his name to it that he will do it in Las Vegas, Nevada. Taven heads to the back, but Rush gets his back in the ring. As he attacks Taven, Marseglia grabs Rush by the leg so that Taven get a shot on him. As Taven grabs Rush by the hair, Rush spits in Taven's face, and Taven responds by several running boots to the head before hitting the running drop kick to the corner with the help of Marseglia.

The battlefield of the Hardy estate is prepared for massacre.

"The Miracle" Mike Bennett and Maria Kanellis-Bennett show up to start the show. Bennett says his mom once told him not to bite the hand that feeds him, and says he should be World champ right now. He then says that he is not, and that it is all because of Moose. He says he and Moose had a perfectly good relationship, but Moose ruined it by listening to the fans and letting his ego get the best of him. He brought Moose into TNA and paid him out of his own pocket, and now he has fired him. With Moose gone, he can focus on the World title with nobody to stop him - not Dixie Carter, Billy Corgan or Moose. Dixie Carter shows up, and tells Bennett to finish up as the people are here for wrestling, not to hear him talk. Bennett says Maria will be running this company and that he will be World champ, and there's nothing Dixie can do about it. Dixie tells Bennett she has made a decision that benefits the company, and it involves Bennett: Bennett is not in the main event for Bound For Glory, and instead, he will be facing Moose that night. Moose shows up wearing an Impact Wrestling tanktop, signifying his status as an official member of the TNA roster. Moose tries to get his hands on Bennett, but Bennett and Maria retreat.

Billy tells Galloway that the Grand Championship is about a brand new type of match: three rounds, three minutes each with a 10 point must system and can be ended by pinfall, submission or judge's decision. Galloway tells Billy that he is the business, but Aron Rex shows up and says the fans are the business and that this all started over a championship.

Billy Corgan hypes up the match and says that there will be great changes at TNA under his leadership, but great main events will always be around and that this one will be one for the ages. Ethan Carter III calls Lashley a bully, an intimidator and a coward, and says there have been a lot of cowardly moves during his title reign, and tells him that he is coming to fight and that this dance will come to an end at Bound For Glory. Lashley says TNA is under fire from multiple people, and says it's time to eliminate the weak as the locker room is full of weaklings. He says he can defend the cpmpany, and wants to know if EC3 can do the same. EC3 says he is the guy they call to take down the most dominant World champ, and he promises to become a three-time TNA World Heavyweight Champion. Lashley says EC3 is all hype while he is a bodybuilder, and that everyone who told him they would beat him ended up getting crushed and that EC3 is no different. He plans to be bigger and better in preparation to crush EC3 at Bound For Glory. EC3 and Lashley stare down at the end of the press conference, but EC3 plays with Lashley's collar and the two men brawl in response.
