WWE RAW RESULTS – AUGUST 4, 2025
“WWE Then. Now. Forever. Together.” narrated by Paul ‘Triple H’ Levesque gets things started as always is the case before every WWE televised broadcast. We then shoot directly into an extended recap video package looking back at key matches and moments from the two-night WWE SummerSlam 2025 premium live event over the weekend.
Seth Rollins & The Vision’s Gloating Interrupted By LA Knight
We settle inside the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, N.Y., and as Michael Cole and Corey Graves are welcoming us to the post-SummerSlam episode of WWE Raw, we hear “BURN IT DOWN!” With that said, the crowd goes wild as new WWE World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins, “The Oracle” Paul Heyman, Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed emerge.
After the group rumored to soon be named “The Vision” finish settling in the ring, we hear a loud “CM Punk” chant break out from the crowd inside Barclays Center. As it does, we hear Paul Heyman begin by saying, “Ladies and gentlemen …”
The crowd boos him. Heyman continues, “My name is Paul Heyman, and letโs be clear about the evidence that is before you. I am the G.O.A.T. Iโm not just the Greatest of All Time; I am your humble Oracle. Humbled by the fact that I stand here tonight in the presence of the future of WWE, the Big Dog who patrols our yard, Bron Breakker.”
“The Oracle” then turns to “Big” Bronson Reed and says, “Humbled by the fact that I stand here tonight in the same ring as the Tribal Thief, the owner of the Shoe-la Fala, โBigโ Bronson Reed.” Reed flashes a big ear-to-ear grin after the glazing from the former “Wiseman.”
Paul Heyman then continues, “Now, at this point, I would be introducing you to the champ, ‘The OTC’ Roman Reigns.” An “OTC” chant picks up. Heyman says, “But Roman Reigns hasnโt been champion for a year and a half now, has he? I would be standing here and introducing you to the champion of the world, the Best in the World, CM Punk.”
Heyman continued, “But CM Punk wasnโt champion long enough for them to put his side plates on the title belt. Oh, you all were part of it on Saturday night. Not only did CM Punk have one of the greatest title matches in history with Gunther, but there he was, thanking you for chanting his name, bringing him back to WWE after a decade.”
Heyman says, “And CM Punk thought he would be married to that title forever, but he wasnโt because not only did Seth Rollins crash the wedding, he stole the honeymoon with the title, and she was good. It’s time to do this properly: Ladies and gentlemen, the reigning, defending, undisputed Heavyweight Champion: Seth โFreakinโ Rollins!”
Rollins then gets his turn on the microphone next. He begins by saying, “Shame on you.” The crowd boos. “Shame on every single one of you who turned your back on me after I won the Main Event of WrestleMania. Shame on every single one of you who for months taunted me with chants of ‘CM Punk.'”
Rollins continues, “Shame on every single one of you who, for months, have taunted me with chants of ‘OTC.’ Hereโs a lesson: never, ever doubt Seth ‘Freakin’ Rollins again!” Rollins says Reigns isn’t champion. Punk isn’t either. Seth ‘Freakin’ Rollins is.
Rollins asks if Roman Reigns is the World Heavyweight Champion. No. Is CM Punk the World Heavyweight Champion? No. Rollins is the World Heavyweight Champion. Rollins says everyone thinks they’re so smart, but he reminds everyone that he always has a “Plan B.” This Plan B was top secret. He told two people in the entire world.
One, his beautiful, incredible Intercontinental Champion of a wife. The other is his Oracle. Together, they achieved what they set out to achieve. They have absolute power. Rollins holds up the title. There is nobody who can stop them. “This is the past, the present, and the future. This is the way forward. This is The Vision.”
As soon as he finishes dropping the tagline and name for his new faction, The Vision, we hear the familiar sounds of LA Knight’s theme music. The Brooklyn crowd loses their minds as “The Mega Star” makes his way down to the ring to confront Seth Rollins and company.
Knight gets in the ring, taunts all of The Vision members, and then turns his attention to Rollins. He gives him a verbal thrashing and then makes it clear he’s coming for his title. “Yeah!” Rollins builds up a potential match between the two tonight, but then says, “No!”
We hear the familiar voice of Adam Pearce, who says normally he wouldn’t do this, but he can throw normal out the window after weeks of Seth Rollins having his medical team lie to his medical team. Rollins-Knight for the title is on tonight, and The Vision are banned from ringside.
Dominik Mysterio Has Multiple Targets On His Back
Backstage, we see Dominik Mysterio with The Judgment Day when Dragon Lee approaches him and challenges him to a match later tonight. Dom-Dom accepts. AJ Styles walks up and tells Dom-Dom he’s actually impressed with the clever move he pulled off at SummerSlam, but makes it clear he’s still coming for his Intercontinental title.
Rusev vs. Sheamus
We return inside the Barclays Center, where we hear the familiar sounds of Rusev’s theme music. Out comes “The Bulgarian Brute” for the opening match of this week’s show. He settles inside the squared circle for his rematch against Sheamus, as the show heads to a pre-match commercial break.
When the show returns, Sheamus returns as Michael Cole does the long held “Fight niiiiiiight baby!” as he makes his entrance. “The Celtic Warrior” settles inside the squared circle and the bell sounds to get things officially off-and-running.
Sheamus charges at Rusev and starts immediately punching him. The match starts as Rusev punches away at him in the corner. Sheamus turns him around and lays in some punches to the midsection. Rusev tackles him and punches him in the head. Sheamus rolls him over and punches him.

Sheamus tries to surprise him with a Brogue Kick, but he gets hung up on the top rope when Rusev moves.

Sheamus goes outside to grab Rusev, but Rusev drives him into the steel ring steps. Sheamus leans against the barricade and drops Rusev into the crowd.
Rusev pops up and grabs him, starting the 10 Beats of the Bodhrรกn, but he stops when the crowd starts counting. Sheamus then grabs him to a HUGE ovation and beats him down with the 10 Beats of the Bodhrรกn, but he goes way further than that. They are counted out. WWE officials run down to separate them as they continue to brawl.
Rusev is furious and kicks over the steps before cracking Sheamus with them. Rusev grabs the shillelagh, but Sheamus floors him with a Brogue Kick. They continue to brawl at ringside before being pulled apart. They fight through and go back to brawling at ringside to a huge ovation. Rusev and Sheamus have a crazy look in their eyes.

They said they reached out to Lesnar a month ago and said they felt “it was time for him to come home.” Lesnar agreed.
