WWE RAW this week saw new rivalries brewing up, exciting in-ring action, and the build-up to WWE 's next Premium Live Event, Backlash, continued.

WWE Monday Night RAW emanated from the T-Mobile Center in Kansas City, Missouri, this week. It saw the fallout from last week's show with new alliances cementing their place, jam-packed action in the ring, and new feuds heading into WWE Backlash 2025 .

Opening segment with Seth Rollins , Bron Breakker, and Paul Heyman

The trio opened the show to address their new alliance. Seth Rollins claimed that the future runs through him, with Paul Heyman and Bron Breakker by his side. They were interrupted by Sami Zayn, who came out to question Rollins' recent actions. Rollins was convinced that Zayn would not buy what they were selling, so he proposed trading him to SmackDown, getting him top opportunities, and asking for his answer by the end of the night.


Rhea Ripley vs Roxanne Perez
This was the opening contest of this week's Monday Night RAW. Both women went back and forth against each other in an exhilarating match, delivering captivating spots and moves inside the ring. However, the ending of the match was interrupted, as Giulia attacked Ripley with a chop block as she attempted to execute her finisher, the Riptide. The beatdown on Ripley continued until IYO Sky came out to make the save, and the duo worked together to neutralize the threat.

Logan Paul & Jey Uso's segment
Logan Paul came out to the ring and claimed that winning a World Championship was the only thing left for him to do in wrestling. He then challenged Jey Uso, leading to the YEET man coming out to confront him. A heated exchange of words happened, and the segment ended with Uso superkicking The Maverick.

The Judgment Day (Finn Bálor and JD McDonagh) vs. The War Raiders
This was a tag team match set for the night, pitting Finn Balor and JD McDonagh against Erik and Ivar. It was an exciting display of tag team wrestling. Towards the end of the bout, Carlito tried to interfere on behalf of the Judgment Day, but Penta came out to stop him, leading to the War Raiders to hit the War Machine on JD McDonagh and pick up the win.

Becky Lynch & Lyra Valkyria segment
Becky Lynch came out to the ring to address her heel turn. She revealed herself to be the one who attacked Bayley and claimed that it was payback for the countless attacks Bayley inflicted on her since 2019. Moreover, Lynch claimed that Lyra Valkyria would have never won the tag team titles with Bayley. Valkyria came out and revealed that everyone in the locker room warned her about Lynch, but she placed her hope in her. The segment ended in a heated exchange, and Valkyria challenged Lynch to a match at WWE Backlash for her WWE Women's Intercontinental Championship, which she accepted.

Stephanie Vaquer vs. Ivy Nile
This was a non-title match which saw a great performance by both women. Following an action-packed battle, Ivy Nile went for a running boot, but Stephanie Vaquer countered with a Dragon Screw and delivered a package backbreaker for the win.

Pat McAfee segment
Pat McAfee stood up from the commentary desk to address Gunther's assault from last week. He stated that he stood up for his broadcast colleague, Michael Cole. GM in charge of the night, Nick Aldis, came out to hear him. McAfee stated that he was not happy with Gunther's suspension and wanted it to be lifted so that he could fight him. Aldis offered him a match against the Ring General at WWE Backlash, which he accepted.

Bron Breakker vs Sami Zayn
Seth Rollins and Sami Zayn were out first, as Zayn had to deliver an answer to Rollins' offer. The Visionary made it highly lucrative for him, including Paul Heyman offering him a straight No.1 contender spot for the Undisputed WWE Championship. However, Zayn made it clear that when he wins a World title, it will be because of him and not because of any favors. Zayn concluded by saying that while he and Rollins are friends, he could 'go to hell.' Bron Breakker came out for a match with Sami Zayn, which was relatively short, as the Wolf Dog laid a heinous beatdown on him, and Rollins asked him not to stop. The show ended with Breakker delivering multiple spears and Rollins hitting the Curb Stomp on him.
