WWE Raw - Dec. 29, 2025 - Preview, Full Card

The final Raw of 2025 will be held live from the Kia Center in Orlando, Florida.

2025 began with WWE Raw's historic debut on Netflix—a move that was treated as a global introduction to professional wrestling. Nearly twelve months later, fans have been treated to plenty of memorable moments, though it's fair to ask whether the weekly product has lived up to the initial hype.

Overall, this has been a solid year of storytelling. Raw consistently felt like appointment television, especially the opening segment, which gave us several John Cena promos, run-it-back YEET sessions, appearances from The Tribal Chief, and GUNTHER drawing nuclear heat.

Seth Rollins formed The Vision, only to be betrayed by the group before the year was out. Dominik Mysterio emerged as a standalone star, Nikki Bella returned as a full-time competitor, Naomi made us laugh and cry in the same segment, and Becky Lynch's heel turn led to the best work of her career.

Tonight’s show serves as the final build toward the 1-Year Anniversary Special, headlined by CM Punk vs. Bron Breakker for the World Heavyweight Championship. To avoid a “lame duck” feel, WWE has stacked the card with two championship matches—and there’s a strong chance at least one title changes hands before the night is over.
