Top five storylines to watch out on WWE RAW (June 16, 2025)

This week’s episode of WWE Raw might feature the return of a Hall of Famer!

Only two spots are remaining in the King and Queen of the Ring tournament semi-finals, which will be filled on the June 16 episode of Monday Night Raw. The show is set to air live from the Resch Center in Green Bay, Wisconsin. 

The promotion has announced the two final opening round matches, where participants will try to secure a spot in the semi-finals. The show will also feature an appearance from the newly crowned World Heavyweight Champion Gunther as well as the return of Asuka, who has been on a year-long hiatus.

Here are the top five storylines that you need to watch out for on the fallout show of WWE Raw in Green Bay, Wisconsin. 

5. King & Queen of the Ring Tournament

As mentioned, the show will feature the final opening round matches for the King and Queen of the Ring tournament. Rusev, Sheamus, Bronson Reed, and Jey Uso will lock horns on the men’s side to capture the final spot in the semi-finals against Cody Rhodes. Asuka, Ivy Nile, Raquel Rodriguez, and Stephanie Vaquer will battle on the women’s side to decide the participant in the semi-finals against Alexa Bliss.

4. Nikki Bella – Liv Morgan

WWE Hall of Famer Nikki Bella made her return on last week’s show and was welcomed with open arms by the locker room and the fans. However, one-half of the Women’s Tag Team Champion, Liv Morgan, was not to keen as he confronted Bella for not naming her while she was lauding the women’s division and the rising stars’ contribution.

The heated segment ended with Morgan flatlining Bella with the oblivion. There are reports of Brie Bella’s return to join Nikki in battling Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez for the title, and if the promotion is planning the same storyline will likely pick up steam in the coming weeks.

3. LA Knight retaliates

On last week’s show, LA Knight attacked Bron Breakker during the opening match of the King of the Ring Tournament, costing him the opportunity to advance. Knight attacked Breakker due to his interference, which cost him in the men’s Money in the Bank match. However, Bronson Reed and Bron Breakker repaid the favor, costing Knight in the KOTR tournament on last week’s SmackDown.

There are reports of Knight and Rollins feuding, and this might be the beginning of this storyline, which also means Knight will likely strike again in the final opening match of KOTR, where Reed is participating.

2. Becky Lynch – Bayley

Bayley was out of action since WrestleMania 41, where she was attacked backstage, and Becky Lynch took responsibility for the attack. Despite speculation, Bayley didn’t make her return until last week when she ambushed Lynch, even catching Lyra Valkyria off guard. It will now be interesting to see how the storyline progresses, especially since Lynch now holds the Women’s Intercontinental Champion.

1. Goldberg returns

On last week’s WWE Raw, Jey Uso suffered shockingly at the hands of Gunther, who pinned the Champion to capture the World Heavyweight title for the second time. According to reports, the promotion is planning a clash between Gunther and WWE HOF Goldberg, who is set to battle in his retirement match. Reports also suggest Goldberg’s return on this week’s show, and it will be intriguing to see this storyline progress.
