WWE RAW RESULTS – JUNE 30, 2025
“WWE Then. Now. Forever. Together.” kicks things off as always. We then shoot into an extended highlight package looking back at key moments from the WWE Night Of Champions premium live event in Saudi Arabia this past weekend.
Rhea Ripley, IYO SKY Kick Off This Week’s Show
From there, we see various WWE Superstar arrivals at the PPG Paints Arena in Pittsburgh, PA., as Michael Cole welcomes us to the show. Inside the arena, “This is My Brutality” hits and out comes Rhea Ripley to kick off the show as advertised.
Cole mentions he is joined by Corey Graves once again this week, so no Pat McAfee for the fourth week in a row. “Mami” settles in the ring to a big pop and gets on the microphone, welcoming us to “Monday Night Mami.” She asks what’s next for her and mentions needing to get her priorities straight.
Before she can say anything else, she is cut off by the familiar sounds of IYO SKY’s theme music. The women’s wrestling star emerges with her WWE Women’s World Championship in-hand, and makes her way down to join Ripley in the ring in our opening segment.
IYO SKY says you cannot have a WWE Evolution without her. Ripley is wrong about one thing. Ripley is not on top, not without the title. Because SKY has the title, Raw General Manager Adam Pearce told her she can pick who she will defend the title against at WWE Evolution.
SKY speaks in Japanese and gets the crowd going. She says she wants to defend against the best. That means defending against Rhea Ripley. Then, Ripley smiles and says she has nothing but respect for SKY. If that’s what SKY wants, Ripley will stop at nothing to get the title back.
If that’s what SKY really wants, Ripley wants her to know that what happens at WWE Evolution is what SKY wanted. At WWE Evolution, Rhea Ripley versus IYO SKY for the Women’s World Championship is on. SKY smiles and holds the title up between them.
Dominik Mysterio Shows AJ Styles His Doctor’s Note
Backstage, WWE Intercontinental Champion “Dirty” Dominik Mysterio is standing around when AJ Styles walks up to him. Mysterio has a doctor’s note and warns Styles that he is not cleared to compete. Adam Pearce verified it. If Styles lays a finger on him, he won’t get a title shot. Styles puts on his glasses and “reads” the letter.
Styles says the doctor said Mysterio is a “punk ass.” Styles says that when Mysterio is cleared to compete, he’ll destroy him and take the title. Styles walks off, and Mysterio says he doesn’t want to beat up the elderly. Styles returns, but Mysterio holds the note up again and scurries away.

It’s time for championship action! The New Day’s theme hits and out comes the reigning and defending WWE Tag-Team Champions The New Day. Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods head down and settle in the ring for our first match of the evening. Their music dies down and they await the arrival of their opposition.
With that said, the music for their title challengers tonight hits, and out comes former tag-team champions in their own right, The Judgment Day duo of Finn Balor and JD McDonagh. They settle in the ring and the bell sounds to get things officially off-and-running.

Winners and NEW WWE Tag-Team Champions: The Judgment Day (Finn Balor & JD McDonagh)
Bayley, Lyra Valkyria Can’t Get Along, So They’re Gonna Get It On!
Backstage, we see Jackie Redmond standing by with a bummed-out-Bayley. Is she still focused on another opportunity for the WWE Women’s Intercontinental Championship? Bayley says her focus hasn’t changed, even though Lyra Valkyria got involved in her match.
Lyra Valkyria walks up to her and isn’t happy that Bayley was talking about her. Valkyria says she was going to apologize, but she no longer knows who Bayley is. It’s not personal with them. It’s personal with Valkyria and Becky Lynch.
Bayley says it was personal with her and Lynch because she took her out before WrestleMania. Raw General Manager Adam Pearce silences them as they argue. Pearce says he thought something like this would happen, so he’s putting them in a match tonight.
The winner will be the No. 1 Contender for the WWE Women’s Intercontinental Championship. Valkyria says, “See you in the ring, friend.” Pearce, sounding frustrated responds, “Happy Monday!” The newsworthy backstage segment wraps up on that note.
A Special Look At “Da Man” Bill Goldberg
In a different area backstage, we see “The Celtic Warrior” Sheamus is preparing for his match against Rusev. He high-fives the Alpha Academy team of Akira Tozawa and Maxxine Dupri, who are standing around with women’s wrestling legend and Durpi’s new friend, Natalya.
A huge career retrospective-style compilation video with bad ass music playing airs focusing on WWE Hall of Fame legend Bill Goldberg to promote his upcoming retirement match in WWE at the WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event special event on NBC and Peacock on July 12 in Atlanta, GA.
Chad Gable & El Grande Americano Update With Ludwig Kaiser Lurking In Background
We return live backstage inside the PPG Paints Arena, where we see Chad Gable with his arm in a sling. He walks up to Ivy Nile and The Creed Brothers duo of Brutus and Julius Creed. He tells them to hold things down for American Made while he’s gone.
WWE Raw General Manager Adam Pearce walks up and wishes Gable luck on his upcoming surgery. Gable says he’s an Olympian and makes his own luck. Pearce says he supposes they won’t be seeing El Grande Americano anytime soon either.
Gable says he’s the World’s Greatest Luchador, so you never know because he’s probably got a busy schedule. Gable tells American Made not to lose their spirit. The Creed Brothers aren’t sure what they’ll do without Gable. Gable tells them to listen to Ivy Nile. Once again we see Ludwig Kaiser lurking in the background during this.
Nick Aldis & Adam Pearce Lay Out Women’s Tag-Team Landscape
Now we move on to another commercial break. When we return, we see Raw General Manager Adam Pearce is talking with SmackDown General Manager Nick Aldis backstage. New WWE Tag-Team Champions Finn Bálor and JD McDonagh walk up to them.
Bálor is guessing they’re trying to figure out what to do about the Women’s Tag Team Championship. Bálor has a suggestion, which Aldis and Pearce want to hear. Bálor says Raquel Rodriguez worked hard to win and defend the titles.
It would be mean of them to strip her of the titles. Bálor wants to find her a new tag team partner. They ask if he has anyone in mind. Bálor pretends to think and then suggests Roxanne Perez. It’s a win for everyone. They can have matches on Raw and SmackDown.
Pearce says they have to confer. They turn to talk. Pearce then says they’ll allow it under one condition. That one condition is that Rodriguez and Perez will have to justify the decision and prove that they are worthy of being the champions.
At WWE Evolution, they’ll defend the titles against a team from Raw, SmackDown, and NXT. Bálor and McDonagh agree and walk off. Aldis says they’re on the same page. Pearce says, “For now” and walks off to end another newsworthy brief backstage segment.
Rusev vs. Sheamus
Inside the arena, the theme for Sheamus hits and out comes “The Celtic Warrior,” as Michael Cole on commentary proclaims it to now be “FIGHT NIGHT!” in Pittsburgh. His opponent, Rusev also makes his entrance and then the bell rings to get things going.
At the sound of the bell, we see Sheamus and Rusev standing across the ring glaring at each other. Rusev shoves him, so they lock up. They can’t push against each other and break the lock-up. They lock up again and tussle against the ropes.

Winner: Rusev
Adam Pearce & Nick Aldis’ Second Announcement Of The Evening
After the match, we see an “earlier today” video with Raw General Manager Adam Pearce and SmackDown General Manager Nick Aldis together talking about WWE Evolution.
The red and blue brand shot-callers go on to announce that there will be a Women’s Battle Royal at the returning all-women’s premium live event in Atlanta, GA., with the winner earning a Women’s Title shot at WWE Clash in Paris.
El Grande Americano Is In The Building
Backstage, we see Jackie Redmond standing by with American Made. How do they plan to move forward without their leader? Ivy Nile says she’ll make sure to get herself into the Battle Royal at WWE Evolution.
Out of nowhere, El Grande Americano walks into the frame before leaving. American Made is stunned. It doesn’t look like Chad Gable. Could it be Ludwig Kaiser? Redmond asks for a comment, but Nile refuses and they walk off.
Karrion Kross Attacks Sami Zayn
In an additional backstage segment, we see Jackie Redmond standing by with Sami Zayn. Before she can begin to ask her question, out of the blue we see Karrion Kross hit the scene and begin viciously attacking him.
Kross grabs a lead pipe and tells Zayn to say it before smashing him in the ribs. WWE officials and referees run over to pull Kross away. Scarlett looks pleased. Zayn is in pain. We head to another commercial break.
Gunther’s Message To Bill Goldberg
Cole and Graves run down the updated lineup for WWE Evolution 2 and then we see a cameo appearance of some of the NFL’s Pittsburgh Steelers players in attendance. From there, we hear the familiar sounds of Gunther’s theme music to bring out “The Ring General.”
The WWE World Heavyweight Champion emerges and makes his way down to the ring for the next segment of the evening. He says that a week from Saturday, at WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event, he’ll defend the title against Goldberg. It will be Goldberg’s final match.
Goldberg stands in the ring, and the crowd loudly chants, “You tapped out!” Gunther says he’s out here to talk about Bill Goldberg. He saw the video that highlighted Goldberg’s career moments. It was violent, brutal, and destructive. Goldberg left a mark on every opponent he faced.
Just like his matches, Gunther will sum it up in three minutes. Goldberg has every right to claim that he’s the most feared man of his generation, but Gunther is not afraid of what is left of Bill Goldberg. Gunther has seen what he really is.
He’s a 58-year-old man who wants to ride out his career on Gunther’s coattails. One last hurrah at Gunther’s expense. That won’t happen. Goldberg isn’t capable of taking the World Heavyweight Championship away from him. Gunther knows he can beat Goldberg in under three minutes.
That’s not his goal. His goal at Saturday Night’s Main Event is to take it slow, blow him up, and outclass him in front of everyone near and dear to him. Gunther heard Goldberg say he doesn’t like bullies. Too bad he bumped into the biggest bully here.
At Saturday Night’s Main Event, Gunther will bully Goldberg and treat him like a piece of crap. There’s nothing Goldberg can do about it. Now, we’re here guessing whether Goldberg still has it. Gunther will show he never had it. After Goldberg, Gunther will walk out here and raise the question of “Who’s next?”
All Hell Breaks Loose With Seth Rollins & CM Punk
As soon as Gunther proposed the question, “Who’s next for The Ring General” after Goldberg, we hear, “BURN IT DOWN!” Out comes Seth Rollins. Mr. Money in the Bank heads to the ring with his Oracle, WWE Hall of Famer Paul Heyman.
Rollins gets in the ring and listens to the crowd sing his song. Gunther says that from the look of Heyman’s face, he’s proud to travel very far and achieve nothing. Rollins says Gunther hasn’t been paying attention. They’re here to congratulate Gunther.
They haven’t seen him since he won the World Heavyweight Championship. Gunther poses. Rollins congratulates him. If Gunther were paying attention, he would understand that they did not go to Night of Champions to cash in the Money in the Bank contract on John Cena.
For the last two years, Rollins has said time and again that if there’s breath in his lungs, CM Punk will not be a World Champion in this company. They flew all the way across the world to stand on that business. A “CM Punk” chant picks up.
As it stands with the Money in the Bank contract, Rollins told the world it would be an all-out assault on BOTH World Titles. Rollins repeats himself as he coldly says, “Congratulations, champ.” CM Punk’s music hits and the crowd explodes.
We see an irate CM Punk run down to the ring and attack Rollins. Rollins quickly rakes the eyes and takes him down. Rollins hits the ropes for a Stomp, but Punk cuts him off with a back elbow. Rollins quickly bails out of the ring and runs through the crowd to escape.
Punk shouts, “You’re a coward!” Another “CM Punk” chant fires up. Punk turns to leave, so Gunther grabs him. Punk shoves Gunther down, shouts at him, and leaves the ring. Rollins gleefully waves goodbye to Punk from the relative safety of the stands.
All of a sudden, LA Knight appears behind him. “The Mega Star” then strikes and they brawl into the arena concourse area. They fight near a bar before Rollins throws a drink in Knight’s face and runs off to escape. The eventful layered segment wraps up on that note.
Roxanne Perez Officially Joins The Judgment Day
We shoot backstage inside The Judgment Day Clubhouse. We see the new WWE Tag Team Champions Finn Bálor and JD McDonagh are with WWE Intercontinental Champion “Dirty” Dominik Mysterio and new WWE Women’s Tag Team Champion Roxanne Perez.
They’re all celebrating having titles. Bálor says, “When you listen to Finn, you win.” Raquel Rodriguez walks up and asks why they’re replacing Liv Morgan so quickly. Morgan has been rehabbing two to three times a week. Bálor says he’s had shoulder surgery and knows it will be a long road.
He just wants them to stay on top. Rodriguez reluctantly agrees. Bálor says it’s time to vote for Perez to be part of the Judgment Day. Bálor gives his vote. McDonagh looks at Rodriguez before saying he wants them to stay on top. Mysterio says he’ll have to ask Morgan.
Bálor tells him to make the decision himself. Mysterio sighs and says, “Alleged, yes.” Rodriguez puts her head down and tells Perez to make sure she holds up her end of the bargain. Perez is thrilled to be part of the Judgment Day. Perez says she’ll do anything for them while Morgan is gone, including going after Kairi Sane.
WWE Women’s Intercontinental Championship Eliminator
Bayley vs. Lyra Valkyria

Bron Breakker & Bronson Reed vs. Penta & Sami Zayn
It’s main event time!
Inside the arena, Zayn, with his ribs heavily taped up, makes his way out for the final match of the show, scheduled tag-team action where he and Penta will do battle against Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed. As he heads to the ring, we head to a quick pre-match break.
The show returns and we see Paul Heyman, still clutching Seth Rollins’ new custom Money in the Bank briefcase, is in the Gorilla Position with Reed and Breakker. Heyman talks to Seth Rollins on his phone. Reed asks where Rollins is.
Heyman says he’s on a jet, perfecting Plan B. Reed asks what Plan B is. Breakker says Plan B is for him to take out everyone in their way. Heyman says that is a plan, but there is a time. Before he can finish his sentence, Breakker cuts him off and says it starts with these two.
Breakker then orders nearby production crew members to hit his music. With that said, we hear the familiar sounds of his theme song and out he comes. Bronson Reed also makes his way out, with Paul Heyman accompanying them. The bell sounds and we’re officially off-and-running with our main event.
