WWE RAW RESULTS – AUGUST 18, 2025
“WWE Then. Now. Forever. Together.” is the first thing we hear as always.
Seth Rollins & The Vision Kick Things Off
Inside the arena, we hear “Burn it down!” and out comes Seth Rollins with “The Oracle” Paul Heyman and the rest of The Vision faction. The group settles in the ring to kick off this week’s show. Heyman gets on the microphone and says he’s God in the city of Philadelphia.
“They would have a statue of me in this city, but I’m way too humble to accept the credit that I do deserve, both here in Philly, and everywhere else in front of the camera and behind the scenes. I am the G.O.A.T,” Heyman says, before pointing out he’s not the only G.O.A.T. in the ring right now.
Heyman does some more boasting and then long, braggadocios introductions for Bron Breakker, Bronson Reed and Seth Rollins. Before Rollins can get a word in, Jey Uso interrupts him and gets the whole arena YEET’ing for the rest of the show. Uso puts the mic up to a bunch of kids in the crowd and they all say YEET, too.
Uso says he’s tired of hearing Heyman and Rollins talk. He says Breakker is a little puppy dog and talks about beating Breakker. Rollins tries to get Breakker riled up and Breakker goes to attack Uso in the crowd but is held back by Reed and Rollins. Heyman suggests they handle this in the ring and Uso agrees to an extreme rules match.
Iyo Sky vs. Raquel Rodriguez
Backstage, we see Iyo Sky talking with The Kabuki Warriors duo of Asuka and Kairi Sane, telling them she wants to do this by herself. She wants to win back the title alone. She heads out to the ring for the opening match as the show heads to commercial.
When the show returns, Raquel Rodriguez is in the ring with Sky, and the bell sounds to get things officially off-and-running. Roxanne Perez is shown in Rodriguez’s corner at ringside. Rodriguez slams Sky down with authority after Sky got off to a strong start.
Rodriguez settles into a commanding offensive lead from there, controlling the action and keeping it slow-paced and in her favor in the early goings. Sky starts to fight back, but a distraction from Perez at ringside leads to Rodriguez turning her inside-out with a big boot.
On that note, we shift gears and head into a mid-match commercial break as the action in this women’s one-on-one opener continues. When the show returns, we see the same thing happen, only this time Sky hits a splash onto Perez on the floor, and then hit Rodriguez with Over The Moonsault for the win.
After the match wraps up, we see Rodriguez and Perez immediately attack and double-team Sky. This continues until we hear the familiar sounds of, “This is My Brutality.” Rhea Ripley runs down to make the save. She clears the ring and she and Sky stand tall.
Winner: Iyo Sky
CM Punk Confronts LA Knight
We see CM Punk confront LA Knight during a backstage interview with Jackie Redmond, leading to Punk telling him they need to get on the same page, only for Knight to boast about giving him knuckle sandwiches for trying to get involved in his business last week.
$18,000 Hat Match
Xavier Woods vs. Penta
Inside the arena, The New Day theme hits. Out comes Xavier Woods for one-on-one action, with Kofi Kingston by his side. As they head to the ring, the show shifts gears and settles into a quick pre-match commercial break. When the show returns, we see a quick backstage segment.
Iyo Sky comes through the curtain and is scolded by The Kabuki Warriors for allowing Rhea Ripley to help her, but not them. They yell at each other in Japanese like crazy people and go their separate ways. Back inside the arena, Penta makes his ring entrance, complete with pyro, for this one-on-one bout.
The bell sounds to get things officially off-and-running. Penta takes the early offensive lead, bringing the crowd to its’ feet in the process. The commentators talk about the $18,000 hat-cost at stake in this one. Woods takes over and yells into the camera, “Give me my 18-grand!” The show heads to a mid-match break.
When the show returns, we see Penta on the defensive, but not for long. He begins fighting back into the offensive lead. He ends up climbing up to the top of the ring post and leaping, taking out Woods and Kingston on the floor. Back in the ring, Woods begins fighting back.
Again, this doesn’t last long, as Penta begins taking over again. He seems to have things wrapped up, as he covers Woods, but Kingston puts Woods’ foot on the ropes to save him. Penta pops up and runs and leaps over the ropes, splashing onto Kingston.
Penta comes back into the ring and Woods immediately rolls him up, but Penta kicks out. Penta fights back and connects with the Mexican Destroyer. He goes for the follow-up pin attempt and scores the three-count for the victory. He avoids a post-match attack attempt and walks off in victory.
Winner: Penta
Mr. Iguana & Dragon Lee vs. The Judgment Day
It’s time for tag-team action. After we see highlights from AAA TripleMania XXXIII, we see a digital exclusive post-show segment with Rey Mysterio confronting Dominik Mysterio backstage. The commentators plug Dom vs. El Hijo del Vikingo for WWE x AAA Worlds Collide.
From there, The Judgment Day theme hits to bring out the first team for our next match of the evening, which will feature the aforementioned AAA Mega Champion El Hijo del Vikingo, and his partner, Dragon Lee. First, we head to a quick pre-match break.
When the show returns, we see some Philadelphia Eagles players in the crowd as the commentators mention a special start time of 3pm EST. / 12 Noon PST. for next week’s WWE Raw on Monday, August 25, in Birmingham, England. The bell sounds and off we go.
Dragon Lee and JD McDonagh kick things off for their respective teams. Dominik Mysterio is shown at ringside in The Judgment Day duo’s corner. Dragon Lee starts off well and Mr. Iguana tags in. He crawls around like an iguana, and the crowd loves it, but then focuses on sing-chanting for “Dirty” Dom.
Iguana and Dragon Lee each hit dives from the ring to the floor in back-to-back fashion. We see the super slow-motion replay and then shift gears and head into a mid-match commercial break as this tag-team tilt continues in “The City of Brotherly Love.”
The show returns and we see McDonagh isolating Dragon Lee, keeping him from making a much-needed tag to Mr. Iguana, as The Judgment Day are now clearly in the offensive lead. McDonagh hits a wild Poisonrana but Dragon Lee counters moments later into a sit-out powerbomb.
After some fun with La Yeska, Mr. Iguana takes over upon getting the tag. This doesn’t remain for long, however, as “Dirty” Dom gets involved, leading to Balor hitting a top-rope Coup de Grace for the pinfall victory. After the match, Dom, Balor and McDonagh attack until El Hijo del Vikingo runs out. He ends up getting beat down, too.
Winners: The Judgment Day
Heel Bayley Transformation Continues
From there, we shoot to the desk where the commentators show depressed Bayley updates from social media. The depression updates seem to transition into heel turn updates.
Bayley’s inner-voice in her heard is yelling at her like the devil on her shoulder, while the real Bayley yells out responses. It would fit right in with The Wyatt Sicks, for the record.
WWE Women’s Intercontinental Championship
Becky Lynch (c) vs. Natalya
We see footage of Becky Lynch vs. Maxxine Dupri from last week, and then “The Man” is interviewed live backstage. After she delivers a quick pre-match message to Natalya, we see Nattie walking backstage with Alpha Academy. Their title tilt is up next.
On that note, the show shifts gears and settles into a quick pre-match commercial break. The show returns to the latest obligatory Canelo Alvarez vs. Terence Crawford plug for September 13th on Netflix. We then see Snickers is presenting tonight’s Raw.
Back inside the arena, the theme for Natalya hits, and out she comes accompanied by Maxxine Dupri and Akira Tozawa. She is all smiles and happy as she settles inside the squared circle for her big championship opportunity against “Big Time Becks.”
Speaking of which, the new theme led by The Wonder Years plays next to bring out the reigning and defending WWE Women’s Intercontinental Champion. The bell sounds and off we go. After some initial back-and-forth offense, we see Nattie doing well.
Things start to shift a bit, however, as we head into a quick mid-match commercial break. When the show returns, we see Nattie favoring one of her arms after she was slammed into the ring post by Lynch. Lynch locks in the DisArmHer armbar on the bad arm. Nattie gets out, but Lynch slaps it back on for the win.
After the match, Lynch refuses to let go of the hold. This brings out Nikki Bella. The two brawl and have a wild pull-apart.
Winner and STILL WWE Women’s Intercontinental Champion: Becky Lynch
Good Old Fashioned Donnybrook Announced For Clash In Paris
Jackie Redmond is backstage with Sheamus. She asks about the chaos with Rusev. Sheamus says Rusev didn’t consider running into him with his WWE return. Rusev shows up, but they’re immediately separated.
Raw General Manager Adam Pearce says he’s had enough. They’ll get it out of their system for the final time at WWE Clash in Paris in a Good Ol’ Fashioned Donnybrook Match! Pearce screams that he needs a drink.
Backstage With CM Punk & ‘Main Event’ Jey Uso
“Main Event” Jey Uso is getting pumped up when CM Punk walks up. Punk says they need to work together. Uso has an Extreme Rules match against “The Paw Patrol.” Punk says he has Uso’s back. Uso says he didn’t ask for his help and doesn’t need it for this match.
Punk says in Paris, it’s about the World Heavyweight Championship. This is about getting to Paris. Uso says he doesn’t want to owe anyone any favors. Punk says he’s just letting him know he’s here. Uso walks off as Punk shakes his head.
Naomi Is Pregnant
When the show returns, we shoot to a special clip from Stephanie McMahon’s “What’s Your Story” podcast, which shows Jimmy Uso and Naomi announcing that Naomi is pregnant. Back live inside the arena, Raw General Manager Adam Pearce introduces Naomi. The WWE Women’s World Champion comes to the ring.
Fans are happy for her. Pearce is, too. Naomi isn’t happy with Pearce, though, as she assumes he’s there to take her title. She orders him to leave the ring. She jokes about Jimmy Uso liking to “Netflix and chill” and jokes about The Bloodline keeping going because of them. Fans then chant “Baby Uso!”
She then leaves her title laying in the middle of the ring and says she’ll be back in nine months or so to take this back from whoever is holding it when that time comes.
The commentators then mention how there will likely be an update on plans for the WWE Women’s World Championship next week on WWE Raw, which features a special start-time of 3pm EST. / Noon PST.
Backstage With The Judgment Day & El Grande Americano
We then shoot backstage, where we see The Judgment Day walking the halls, wondering where Dominik Mysterio is. They find him talking to El Grande Americano. Americano walks off.
Finn Bálor asks what that was about. Mysterio says he was trying to make sure the Judgment Day is always on top. They walk off, leaving Bálor looking confused and concerned.
Extreme Rules
Bron Breakker vs. ‘Main Event’ Jey Uso
It’s main event time!
There is a shopping cart full of weapons at ringside, a tribute to the late New Jack here in the home of the original Extreme Championship Wrestling — Philadelphia, PA. The two men make their respective entrances and then this one gets officially off-and-running.
Breakker says, “I’ll murder you,” and goes to work. Uso blocks a punch and punches Breakker to the corner. Uso gets on the middle rope and starts to punch him. Breakker fights out and turns him around before hitting some shoulder thrusts to the midsection.
Breakker puts Uso in the corner and punches away at him in the corner. Uso fights Breakker off and clotheslines him over the top rope, landing him on the shopping cart full of weapons. The crowd chants, “We want tables!” Breakker is having trouble getting to his feet.
Uso goes under the ring for a table. Breakker painfully pulls himself into the ring, so Uso punches him down. Uso punches him out of the ring and hits the ropes for a suicide dive. On that note, we shift gears and head into a mid-match commercial break.
When the show returns, we see Breakker continuing to dominate, while also continuing to sell his leg. Heyman tells him they’ll deal with it later. The commentators say Heyman uses Breakker like his own personal Frankenstein. Uso begins taking over. After a big trash can spot, we head into another mid-match break.
The action continues when we return, with Breakker sprinting right into a spear from Uso. Uso seemed to have things wrapped up, when Bronson Reed hits the ring to attack. The commentators point out this is legal in an Extreme Rules match. LA Knight comes out to help, but Seth Rollins also attacks.
Rollins reaches under the ring for some more weapons, but as he does, the radio screech for CM Punk’s theme hits. He runs out to the ring to help, and his music dies down quickly, but the fans keep singing loudly acapella. Punk ends up cleaning house and accidentally sending Knight through a table.
He shrugs his shoulders and chases Rollins through the crowd to the back. Meanwhile, Breakker sets up another table in the ring as Uso starts to come to life as well. Fans loudly chant “OTC! OTC!” expecting a Roman Reigns appearance. Uso super kicks Breakker and lays him on the table.
Reed ends up knocking Uso off the top before he can do anything. With Knight still out, and Punk gone chasing Rollins in the back, it’s Breakker and Reed teaming up on Uso by himself. That is, however, until the familiar sounds of Roman Reigns’ theme hits.
Breakker, still on the floor, stands in the aisle waiting for “The OTC,” only to turn around and see Reigns standing behind him. Reigns runs through Breakker with a spear. He rolls Breakker into the ring. Uso super kicks him.
After that, Uso lays Breakker out across the table in the corner. He then climbs and hits a top-rope Uso Splash through the table for the win. Reigns and Uso stand tall in the ring as this week’s show goes off the air on that note. Thanks for joining us!
Winner: ‘Main Event’ Jey Uso
