WWE Raw Results (12/15/25):

• To begin the night in a huge way, the man who retired John Cena at WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event XLII, the “Ring General” Gunther, marches to the ring with a massive smile on his face to speak to the WWE Universe, as the crowd showered him with thunderous boos. Gunther could barely talk due to the loud jeers, but he managed to gloat and say that he achieved what he set out to do, which was to make John Cena give up and tap out, and we quote, “like a little b*tch.” Gunther, with a literal mic drop, would walk out of the ring before storming in the ring again and posing in front of the hostile crowd. He would do this a couple of more times, strutting around the ring and even posing on top of the Raw Announcer’s table, basking in the hate and screaming to the heavens that he made Cena tap out and that’s it’s his time now, and he’s the man responsible for making Cena give up, before making his victory lap up the ramp. Backstage, he was confronted by Otis and Akira Tozawa, as well as R-Truth, a dear friend of Cena, saying that he’s a “piece of trash.” Gunther would shrug it off. Raw General Manager Adam Pearce would get in the face of Gunther, asking if he’s proud that he’s walking over the legacy of Cena. Pearce has had enough, telling Gunther he’s an “as*h*le and that he’s done for the night. Before Gunther walked off, AJ Styles would stare him down. Gunther would drive off, but not before making a “You Can’t See Me” gesture to Styles.
• We start the action with The Usos reigniting a legendary feud with The New Day in a big tag team opener. The New Day has teamed consistently for years, and it was apparent tonight, as they dominated the recently reformed Usos. Apart from that, Grayson Waller proved to be an X-Factor outside of the ring, as Jimmy and Jey had to keep their heads on a swivel. The tides would turn, as The Usos would get their bearings. In the climax of this match, Jimmy would hit a Spear. The Usos would follow this up with the 1D, as one of the greatest tag team champions of all-time, notches a victory over their arch-rivals.
• Backstage, we see The Vision, Logan Paul, Paul Heyman, and Bron Breakker. Breakker is chomping at the bit to get his hands on CM Punk. Logan told him to lock in, and he’ll have CM Punk’s head on a spike soon enough.
• IYO SKY and Rhea Ripley enter the GIANT Arena, as they speak to the WWE Universe. The Kabuki Warriors would blindside them, literally in this sense, as Asuka would spray mist into his eyes and Kairi Sane would take out IYO SKY. Sane scaled the ropes to hit the InSANE Elbow on Ripley, but SKY would take the bullet and cover Ripley from the devastation.
• For the first of two title matches tonight, Ivy Nile calls her shot as she challenges Maxxine Dupri for the Women’s Intercontinental Championship. Nile would get the upper hand at the beginning of the bout. However, it was clear that Maxxine Dupri had picked up more than a few things since she won the title from Becky Lynch. Dupri showed off her extended arsenal, hitting a Sit-out Powerbomb that almost had Nile beat. Even when she missed a Crossbody attempt, Dupri would bounce back, countering everything Nile had into an Ankle Lock. Like a woman possessed, Dupri would hang on to this hold for dear life, and put an exclamation point on this match by maintaining the Ankle Lock and sinking it much tighter with a grape vine, leading to Nile eventually submitting as Maxxine secures his first successful Women’s Intercontinental Title defense.
• After time away, WWE World Heavyweight Champion CM Punk makes his return to WWE Monday Night Raw. Punk was not playing around, gesturing for them to cut his music ASAP, and even throwing the mic flag. The champion got on the mic and told everyone he was seething as he sat at home. Punk would turn his attention to Bron Breakker, calling him a “cross-eyed neanderthal,” and he knows that Breakker wants him, but it’s a bad idea, stating that he knows brains don’t run in his family, and he can’t beat “2025 CM Punk” without The Vision. Punk was furious, saying that Breakker is getting hyped by the wrong person, referring to Paul Heyman, and that if he mentions his wife again, Punk will stomp out his “single IQ digit” brain, and this will go from professional to personal. On the first Raw of 2026, Punk, ticked off as all heck, said that Breakker can bring The Vision, The Steiner Brothers, and anyone he can think of, because he’ll obliterate Breakker. Punk knows he has the guts, but he doesn’t have the heart, and come January 5th once he loses and Paul Heyman abandons him for the “next big thing,” no amount of “Steiner math” will get him his career back, with Punk making a strong statement that GTS equals 1,2,3, and he promises to still be World Heavyweight Champion on January 5.
• La Primera, the Women’s World Champion, Stephanie Vaquer, enters to thunderous applause as she defends her title against “Big Mami Cool” herself of The Judgment Day, Raquel Rodriguez. Raquel was a force to be reckoned with for most of the match. Of course, Rodriguez got a bit too cocky. Vaquer would take advantage of that, and before anyone knew it, Rodriguez was on the receiving end of a Devil’s Kiss. Vaquer was primed to retain her title on her own, but Nikki Bella would interfere, sending her into the steel ring post, leading to the disqualification. Backstage, Bella would put the Women’s division on notice, saying that he’s a Hall-of-Famer, and Vaquer and Rodriguez should be shining her boots and show her more respect.
• Also backstage, we see Raw GM Adam Pearce talking to Paul Heyman, demanding to know the identity of the masked assailant at WarGames. Heyman said, Seth Rollins, Becky Lynch, and even Bruno Sammartino. Quite put it, Heyman doesn’t know who it is, and he doesn’t care, as long as he aligns with the “vision” of The Vision. Pearce demanded to know the identity of the masked man before the night ended.
• Another rivalry rekindled, as Logan Paul takes on the man he defeated for the United States Championship, his first title in WWE, the legendary Rey Mysterio, in one-on-one action. It was back-and-forth throughout; however, the tides would turn when Logan Paul got too confident at the end, even taunting Mysterio with the Three Amigos. With the referee distracted, Paul would call for the Brass Knuckles, but Mysterio would remain focused and see right through the tactic. With CM Punk backing him to fend off Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed, Rey would set Logan up for the 619. Mysterio could’ve gone for the kill, but he saw an opportunity to teach the “Maverick” a lesson. With his knuckles “brassed up,” Rey was going to swing for the fences. Unfortunately, his head would get stomped in by the masked man from WarGames, allowing Paul to take control and hit the Frog Splash for the win. Post-match, Punk would try to fight off the wolves, only to get a Spear for his troubles via Bron Breakker. The masked man also revealed his identity, leaving the Hershey crowd stunned to end the night.
