(July 8, 2025)
Providence, R.I. — WWE’s final push toward a blockbuster weekend, featuring Saturday Night’s Main Event and Evolution 2, ignited on the July 7 episode of Monday Night Raw. This wasn’t just a go-home show; it was a masterclass in escalating rivalries, strategic reunions, and the brutal assertion of dominance by Seth Rollins’ still-unnamed faction.

Here’s how the night unfolded beyond the ring ropes.
Seth Rollins, Bron Breakker, Bronson Reed, and Paul Heyman Kicked Off Raw
The show erupted with Rollins, Paul Heyman, Bron Breakker, and Bronson Reed storming the ring. In a departure from the usual script, Breakker seized the mic, venomously targeting Sami Zayn: “I’ve got a vision of WWE without Sami Zayn… his ugly face, stupid beard, and that music you all sing. He’s got an expiration date, tonight, I stamp it.”
His raw, unchecked aggression drew nervous glances from Rollins and Heyman, hinting at faction instability.
Reed followed, boasting about earning Rollins’ respect via “six Tsunamis,” while Heyman declared war: “Tonight, the empire strikes FIRST.” His dismissal of Roman Reigns, “He doesn’t have the balls to step up”, and threat to “stomp out” Penta’s iconic hand signals set a tone of unchecked arrogance.
Rollins’ closing line, “Welcome to Monday Night Rollins”, felt less celebratory and more like a warning.
Monday Night Raw Results: Kairi Sane def. Roxanne Perez
The Judgment Day’s backstage tension bled into the ring. Roxanne Perez (with Raquel Rodriguez) faced Kairi Sane in a match underscoring Perez’s ruthless new persona. After Sane countered Pop Rox into a pinfall victory, Perez and Rodriguez attacked, only for Asuka to make a seismic return.
The reunion of the Kabuki Warriors culminated in Sane’s diving elbow drop, forcing Judgment Day into retreat. GM Adam Pearce later confirmed their entry into Evolution’s Women’s Tag Title fatal four-way.
Bron Breakker def. Sami Zayn
Zayn’s night epitomized tragedy. Before his match, Karrion Kross ambushed him with a steel pipe, re-injuring his taped ribs. Despite this, Zayn insisted on facing Breakker, a decision proving fatal. Breakker demolished him with three consecutive spears in under six minutes.
This wasn’t a match; it was an execution, cementing Breakker’s monster status while exposing Zayn’s vulnerability.
Becky Lynch Promo: Lyra Valkyria took out Women’s Intercontinental Champion Becky Lynch and Bayley
Becky Lynch’s promo dissolved into chaos. Lyra Valkyria and Bayley interrupted, trading barbs over betrayal and ambition. Valkyria’s declaration, “I’m rescuing my title from two disappointments!”, preceded a brutal assault, leaving Lynch and Bayley laid out with dual Nightwing kicks.
This segment solidified Lyra as the triple threat’s most dangerous variable.
Jey Uso def. Bronson Reed by DQ (Monday Night Raw Results)
Jey Uso fared no better against Bronson Reed. When Uso gained momentum, Reed blatantly hurled a chair at him, causing a DQ.
The real carnage came post-bell: two Tsunamis left Uso destroyed, fulfilling Reed’s promise to “Tsunami respect” into him. The faction’s dominance was absolute until the main event.
Main Event Mayhem: Rollins’ Tainted Victory & Knight’s Revenge
The Rollins-Penta clash delivered high-stakes drama. Just as Penta rallied after a Mexican Destroyer, Rollins landed a concealed low blow and a Stomp for the tainted win. As Rollins summoned his allies to dismantle Penta, LA Knight exploded from the crowd, flattening Rollins with a BFT.
This blindside, days before their Saturday Night’s Main Event clash, robbed Rollins of his triumphant moment and shifted momentum sharply toward Knight.
