Another video package was shown, focusing on Hulk Hogan\u2019s match against Randy Savage at WrestleMania V, the formation of the NWO at Bash at the Beach 1996 and the Icon vs. Icon match against The Rock at WrestleMania X-8.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8211; Jey Uso made his way to the ring to address his match tonight, but Paul Heyman immediately interrupted. Heyman said that he couldn\u2019t believe that Jey had accepted help from Roman Reigns. Heyman said that family was always going to let him down and that it wasn\u2019t a prediction, but a prophecy. He said that Jey\u2019s mother lied to him when telling him that Santa Claus was real. Heyman said that Jey\u2019s father lied to him when telling that he thought he would be more iconic than him.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8211; Heyman said that Roman didn\u2019t choose him as the next Tribal Chief in line, but he picked Solo Sikoa. He said that Roman lied to him when telling him that he wished that he was as successful as him. He said that he was telling this to Jey because he loved him. Jey warned Heyman to stop speaking about his family and that the bloodline was still running. Jey said that he won the world title to prove it to himself. He said that whatever happened to Heyman and his crew tonight and at SummerSlam was on him.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">(Pomares\u2019 Analysis: This was a decent opening segment and could be a good way of acknowledging Roman\u2019s lack of character development after losing the WWE title. However, I don\u2019t get the feeling that WWE is actually interested in telling that story. Maybe they\u2019ll do something interesting during Jey vs. Reed, but for now this really didn\u2019t do it for me.)<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8211; AJ Styles made his way to the ring, ahead of his match against the Judgment Day.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">[Commercial Break]<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>(1) JUDGMENT DAY (Dominik Mysterio &amp; Roxanne Perez &amp; Raquel Rodriguez) vs. AJ STYLES &amp; KABUKI WARRIORS (Asuka &amp; Kairi Sane)<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dominik took a cheap shot at AJ and immediately tagged Raquel in. Asuka blocked a back suplex and knocked Raquel down with a dropkick. Asuka blasted Raquel with a backfist, followed by a series of kicks to the head. The Kabuki Warriors nailed Raquel with a double basement dropkick. Raquel dropped Sane onto the turnbuckle and dumped Perez on top of her with a Fallaway Slam. Sane took Perez down with a headscissors takeover and a dropkick, followed by a series of chops to the chest. Sane knocked Perez down with a dropkick, but Dominik pulled her away to avoid a sliding elbow strike into the turnbuckle. Raquel laid Sane out with a big boot behind the referee\u2019s back, as WWE Raw went to commercials.<\/span><\/p><div id=\"pwtor-3257737902\" class=\"pwtor-content-1 pwtor-entity-placement\"><!-- Tag ID: pwtorchcom_test_300x600 -->\r\n<div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280 __300x600\" id=\"pwtorchcom_test_300x600\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x600\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x600\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">[Commercial Break]<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Back from break, Raquel laid Sane out with a clothesline followed by a slingshot suplex. Perez crushed Sane with a springboard moonsault, but Asuka broke the pinfall. Sane caught Perez off-guard with a Spear, but Raquel pulled Asuka off the apron and Dominik nailed AJ with a forearm shot. Sane planted Perez with a wheelbarrow Stunner and made Raquel crash into the ring post. AJ got the hot tag to throw Dominik into the ring and pummel him down with a series of clotheslines and a sliding forearm strike.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">AJ dropped Dominik with Ushigoroshi, but Perez got in his way before he could go for the Phenomenal Forearm. Dominik missed a clothesline, allowing AJ to crack him with a Pele kick. Asuka clocked Raquel with a kick to the head and AJ launched Sane on top of her. AJ immediately knocked Dominik out with a Phenomenal Forearm for the win.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">WINNER: AJ Styles &amp; Kabuki Warriors at 10:43<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">(Pomares\u2019 Analysis: Pretty fun match to work as the go-home show to the IC title bout. I thought they would make a bigger deal out of AJ finally getting his hands on Dominik, but I guess actually pinning works fine too. Highly doubt AJ is going win, but it should make for a good matchup.)<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8211; A recap of Sheamus defeating Rusev last week was shown.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8211; Earlier today, Jackie Redmond interviewed Sheamus about his win over Rusev. Sheamus said that they put on a banger, until Grayson Waller and the New Day interrupted. Waller said that now that Austin Theory was gone, they would take on him. Sheamus agreed to face Waller, only for Waller to realize that the New Day was no longer with him.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8211; Sheamus made his way to the ring, ahead of his match against Grayson Waller.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">[Commercial Break]<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>(2) SHEAMUS vs. GRAYSON WALLER<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Waller pummeled Sheamus in the corner, but Sheamus shut him down with an axe handle. Waller caught Sheamus with a rolling flatliner, only for Sheamus to shut him down with a powerslam. Sheamus pulled Waller\u2019s mouth, until Waller slapped him. Waller caught Sheamus with a sliding dropkick before Sheamus took him out with a jab and a rolling senton.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Waller shocked Sheamus with a jumping knee and smashed his head into the turnbuckle, setting him up for a Tornado DDT on the apron. Back in the ring, Sheamus blocked the rolling Stunner with a pump knee. Sheamus pummeled Waller with the Beats of Bodhran and knocked Rusev off the apron before he could interfere. Waller tried to roll Sheamus up, only for Sheamus to knock him out with a Brogue Kick.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">WINNER: Sheamus at 4:10<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8211; After the match, Rusev pummeled Sheamus with a shillelagh and put him in the Accolade.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">(Pomares\u2019 Analysis: A fine match while it lasted, but this was more about setting up an eventual rubber match. Sheamus and Rusev had a pair of really stiff and hard-hitting fights so far, so I wouldn\u2019t be surprised if the third one has a stipulation like the Good Old-Fashion Donnybrook. As for Waller, this feels like confirmation that there aren\u2019t any real plans for either him or Theory as singles guys.)<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8211; Backstage, Jackie Redmond interviewed Naomi after her title defense at SummerSlam. Naomi said that she was aggressive aggressive and that she would show it tonight. Noami said that they shouldn&#8217;t be surprised when she walks out of SummerSlam as champion because she warned them to proceed with caution.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">[Commercial Break]<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>[HOUR TWO]<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8211; A video package was shown, featuring current WWE stars putting over the impact of Hulk Hogan in wrestling.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8211; Backstage, Paul Heyman told Bronson Reed that Jey Uso\u2019s family thought they were a group without a leader after Seth Rollins\u2019 injury. Bron Breakker said that they had one and gave Reed a pep talk ahead of their match. Reed said that after he was done with Jey, he would leave him down, out and tsunamied.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8211; Lyra Valkyria made her way to the ring to say that in one week, she would be standing as the first 2-time Women\u2019s Intercontinental champion. Lyra said that Becky Lynch would have to beat her into the ground to keep her title at SummerSlam. She said that she knew exactly what Lynch was capable of in this type of match. Lyra said that she didn\u2019t even know what she was capable of, until Lynch\u2019s music started playing. Lyra stopped Lynch from attackcing her from behind with a dropkick through the ropes. She pummeled Lynch with numerous kendo stick shots, until Lynch took away her kendo stick. Lyra nearly hit Lynch with the Nightwing, forcing her to retreat.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">(Pomares\u2019 Analysis: Not a bad segment, but really underwhelming as a go-home angle. This was quite short and the brawl didn\u2019t feel like anything special. A bit disappointing since this is one of the best stories they have told en route to SummerSlam.)<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8211; Backstage, Corey Graves had a sit-down interview with Sami Zayn and asked about his match against Karrion Kross. Sami said that he just wanted to be done with him and focus on winning a world title. Kross interrupted to tell Sami that after he was done with him, Sami would admit that Kross told the truth. Sami said that he would do whatever Kross wants if he wins, but when he wins Kross must admit that he was wrong.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">(Pomares\u2019 Analysis: Well performed and some stakes that make sense, but I don\u2019t think there was anything they could have done to get me invested in this encounter at SummerSlam.)<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8211; Naomi made her way to the ring, ahead of her eight-woman tag team match.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">[Commercial Break]<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8211; Backstage, Jackie Redmond interviewed Bayley about her plans after recent losses. Bayley said that she already missed WrestleMania and would now miss SummerSlam before walking away.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>(3) RHEA RIPLEY &amp; STEPHANIE VAQUER &amp; NIKKI BELLA &amp; IYO SKY vs. NAOMI &amp; CHELSEA GREEN &amp; THE SECRET HERVICE (Piper Niven &amp; Alba Fyre)<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Naomi avoided a clothesline and pummeled Ripley down, only for Ripley to lay her out with a series of clotheslines and a thrust kick. Ripley dropped Naomi face-first onto the mat, forcing her to tag Green in. Nikki tagged in to hit Green with a jawbreaker and used her body to knock Fyre and Niven off the apron. Nikki planted Green with a spinebuster and chased her around the ring. Fyre caught Nikki off-guard with a thrust kick and Niven nailed her with a forearm strike. Niven crushed Nikki with a splash from the middle rope for a two count, as WWE Raw went to an ad break.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">[Commercial Break]<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Back from break, Naomi smashed Nikki\u2019s head into the turnbuckle, but Nikki shut her down with a leaping kick to the head. Sky got the hot tag to take Fyre down with a series of uppercuts and a dropkick. Sky crushed Fyre with a roll-through into a double stomp, followed by a thrust kick. Naomi distracted Sky, allowing Fyre to attack her from behind. Sky took Fyre out of the ring with a dropkick before receiving one from Green. Niven crushed Sky with a corner splash and Naomi nailed her with a leaping forearm strike. Sky kicked Green away, only for Naomi to nail her with a shoulder thrust and a Heat Seeker. Naomi crushed Sky with a leg drop, but she kicked out at two.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Green took Sky down with a Codebreaker, setting her up for Niven\u2019s senton and Fyre\u2019s Swanton Bomb. Vaquer and Riley broke the pinfall, but they were thrown out of the ring. Ripley caught Noami with a roundhouse kick before receiving a Boss Man Slam from Niven. Naomi drove Ripley into the steel steps while Fyre caught Sky with a thrust kick. Sky planted Fyre with a flapjack, reaching Vaquer for the hot tag. Vaquer smashed Green\u2019s head into the turnbuckle and crushed her with a springboard crossbody. Vaquer cloaked Fyre with a thrust kick and took care of Niven with Eat Defeat. Naomi tried to go for a bulldog, but Vaquer shut her down with a bunch of headbutts.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Vaquer crushed Fyre, Niven and Green with double knee strikes into the corner. Vaquer took Naomi down with a dragon screw and dropped Green with a back suplex, setting her up for Devil\u2019s Kiss. Fyre hit Vaquer with a thrust kick to break the pinfall, only for Nikki to take her out with the Bella Buster. Naomi tried to walk away, until Sky threw her back into the ring. Nikki and Sky took Nami down with a clothesline and a springboard dropkick. Niven knocked Sky and Nikki down with a double clothesline, only for Ripley to shut her down with a headbutt and Riptide. Green slapped Ripley before Vaquer knocked her out with the SVB.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">WINNERS: Rhea Ripley &amp; Stephanie Vaquer &amp; Nikki Bella &amp; Iyo Sky at 14:38<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">(Pomares\u2019 Analysis: I can\u2019t remember the last time WWE booked an all-star tag team match, but this was a reminder of how fun they can be. They seemingly paid off the short program between Green, Vaquer and Nikki while giving a showcase to Sky, Ripley and Naomi ahead of their title match. They aren\u2019t telling a complicated and long-term story, so this served perfectly for a go-home show.)<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8211; A recap of El Grande Americano interfering during the tag team triple threat last week was shown.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8211; Backstage, Finn B\u00e1lor told Dominik Mysterio, Roxanne Perez and Raquel Rodriguez that people thought they would be done after Rhea Ripley and Damian Priest left, but they were still here. Finn told Dominik to stay in the back and play some video games with Perez.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8211; LWO made their way to the ring, ahead of their match against Judgment Day.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">[Commercial Break]<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8211; Backstage, Iyo Sky and Rhea Ripley celebrated, but Sky told Ripley that she would never beat her.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>(4) JUDGMENT DAY (Finn B\u00e1lor &amp; JD McDonagh) vs. LWO (Joaquin Wilde &amp; Cruz Del Toro) &#8211; World Tag Team Championship<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Wilde took Finn down with an arm drag, followed by an axe handle from Cruz. Cruz caught Finn with a shoulder thrust, only for Finn to shut him down with a basement dropkick. JD missed a sliding dropkick, allowing Cruz to hit him with a kick to the head. LWO crushed JD with a tag team splash, followed by a Lionsault for a two count. Finn stomped Cruz down and JD followed it with a slingshot moonsault. Cruz caught Finn and JD with dropkicks, setting him up for Wilde\u2019s high crossbody at ringside, as WWE Raw went to a commercial break.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">[Commercial Break]<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Back from break, Finn nailed Wilde with a kick behind the referee\u2019s back, only for Wilde to catapult JD into him. Cruz got the hot tag to hit JD with a high crossbody and a dropkick. Cruz tripped JD into a Tree of Woe position and knocked Finn off the apron with a dropkick before blasting JD with a Coast-to-Coast dropkick for a nearfall. Cruz avoided a double back suplex and tagged Wilde in. LWO caught Judgment Day off-guard with stereo suplexes, followed by stereo suicide dives.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Back in the ring, Wilde crushed Finn with a moonault, setting him up for Cruz\u2019s Phoenix Splash. JD broke the pinfall before Wilde clotheslined him out of the ring. El Grande Americano showed to distract the referee, until Dragon Lee pulled him off the apron. Cruz caught Finn with a thrust kick and clocked JD with an enzuigiri before he could use a belt. Wilde took care of JD with a top turnbuckle cannonball, but another masked wrestler showed up to trip Cruz off the top turnbuckle. Finn immediately hit Cruz with the Coup de Grace for the win.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">WINNERS: Judgment Day at 10:56 (Still World Tag Team Champions)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">(Pomares\u2019 Analysis: This was very fun while it lasted, but it was always going to end up in shenanigans. A third Grande Americano was a surprise I suppose, but not one I\u2019m very excited to see.)<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<h3><b>[HOUR THREE]<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8211; Gunther made his way to the ring to say that he made CM Punk understand that he can\u2019t call himself the best in the world. Gunther said that he made Punk shut up, only for Punk to interrupt him. Punk said that he wasn\u2019t speechless, but he was dumb-founded. Punk said that it dawned on him that he didn\u2019t want to be World Heavyweight champion, but he needed it. He said that wrestling was his addiction and he needed to raise the belt above his head as a thank you to the fans. Punk said that he earned the right to call himself the best in the world and that Gunther wasn\u2019t on his level. Punk said that Gunther would at least feel what it was like to be in the ring with the best in the world.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">(Pomares\u2019 Analysis: Well-delivered and very intense, but the content in Punk\u2019s promo wasn\u2019t anything we haven\u2019t heard before. The way Punk argues about being the best really clashes with his record throughout 2025, especially coming after a major loss to Cena and Gunther\u2019s win over Goldberg. Feels like Punk has reached the point where he can\u2019t change or develop as a character, making him much less interesting to watch.)<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8211; Jey Uso made his way to the ring, ahead of his match against Bronson Reed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">[Commercial Break]<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>(5) JEY USO vs. BRONSON REED (w\/Paul Heyman)<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Jey pummeled Reed with right hands and tripped him into the turnbuckle before crushing him with a hip attack. Reed caught Jey with a clothesline and knocked him down with a headbutt. Reed stepped on Jey\u2019s chest and shut him down with a forearm strike to the back. Jey hit Reed with a boot to the face, only for Reed to counter a high crossbody with a World\u2019s Strongest Slam, as WWE Raw went to its final commercial break.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">[Commercial Break]<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Back from break, Jey avoided a senton and pummeled Reed down before sending him out of the ring with a superkick. Jey crashed into Reed with a suicide dive, only for Bron Breakker to show up and take him out with a Spear.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">WINNER: Jey Uso at 7:08 via DQ<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">(Pomares\u2019 Analysis: A nothing match to set up the post-match angle. That\u2019s fine in itself, but if this was always going to go short, I don\u2019t understand why waste time and do a commercial break.)<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8211; After the match, Roman Reigns showed up to save Jey Uso from a post-match assault and knock Bronson Reed and Bron Breakker off the apron with Superman Punches. Breakker and Reed blocked stereo Spears with a Spear and a body block. Breakker took Jey out with a Spear and Jey crushed him with a Tsunami. Breakker blasted Roman with a diving lariat over the announce table and Reed flattened him with a Tsunami. Reed tossed Jey and Roman out of the ring, setting them up for Breakker\u2019s Spear through the barricade.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">(Pomares\u2019 Analysis: Nothing we haven\u2019t seen before, but it\u2019s cool to see Breakker and Reed actually stand tall over Roman for once. Breakker&#8217;s brief promo in the ring was really well done and gives us a glimpse of what he could do at the top of the card. Overall, a solid go-home angle to what is likely going to be the main event of night one.)<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3>Advertised Matches &amp; Appearances<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Rhea Ripley &amp; Iyo Sky &amp; Stephanie Vaquer &amp; Nikki Bella vs. Chelsea Green &amp; Naomi &amp; Piper Niven &amp; Alba Fyre \u2013 8-Woman Tag Team match<\/li>\n<li>LWO (Cruz Del Toro &amp; Joaquin Wilde) vs. Judgement Day (Finn Balor &amp; JD McDonaugh) \u2013 World Tag Team Championship match<\/li>\n<li>Jey Uso vs. Bronson Reed<\/li>\n<li>Roman Reigns to appear<\/li>\n<li>Gunther has a message for C.M.
