Is WWE RAW tonight live or pre-taped? (December 29, 2025)

Tonight’s episode will be the final Raw of 2025.

WWE RAW (December 29, 2025) will air live tonight from the Kia Center in Orlando, Florida. The promotion has not pre-taped the show in advance.

Monday Night Raw will return to the live format after last week’s pre-taped show, which was done in order to give talents free time for the Holidays.

General Manager Adam Pearce has announced an intriguing line-up where two World titles will be contested. Multiple big names, including CM Punk, Rhea Ripley, Jey Uso, Becky Lynch, and LA Knight, are being advertised for the show.

Tonight’s show will set the stage for the first WWE Raw of 2026

Tonight’s show of the Red brand will set the stage for the first show of the Red brand in 2026, which will feature a stacked card including three title clashes where bad blood will take centre stage.

As announced by GM Adam Pearce, The Vision (Bron Breakker, Bronson Reed & Paul Heyman) will kick off the broadcast this Monday. This will be in the backdrop of the build towards the clash between CM Punk and Bron Breakker with the World title on the line next Monday.

Additionally, fans can also expect the build between Maxxine Dupri and Becky Lynch to intensify. The Kabuki Warriors (Asuka & Kairi Sane) are also set to defend the WWE Women’s Tag Team titles against the team of Rhea Ripley and Iyo Sky.
