The Survivor Series fallout show of Raw emanated from Arizona.
The December 1 episode of Monday Night Raw emanated live from the Desert Diamond Arena in Glendale, Arizona. The show served as the fallout show from the Survivor Series 2025, which concluded in San Diego on November 29. The PLE featured multiple big moments that shaped the storylines on the Red brand.
The fallout show featured the two semi-final matches in the tournament to decide John Cena’s final opponent. LA Knight defeated Jey Uso to advance, while Gunther pinned Solo Sikoa in a hard-fought battle to secure the spot against Knight.
Furthermore, AJ Styles and Dragon Lee defeated The New Day (Kofi Kingston & Xavier Woods) to retain the WWE World Tag Team titles. On the other hand, Bron Breakker cut a scathing promo calling out CM Punk, who he is set to face for the World title on the January 5 episode of Raw, as announced by Paul Heyman.
The main event clash between the team of Rhea Ripley & Iyo Sky and Charlotte Flair & Alexa Bliss ended in a no-contest at the Kabuki Warriors (Asuka & Kairi Sane) attacked. Bayley and Lyra Valkyria made the save, but were then taken out by the Judgment Day (Liv Morgan, Raquel Rodriguez & Roxanne Perez), who stood tall with the titles to end the show.
The Winner of the tournament will appear on next week’s show
As mentioned earlier, both LA Knight and Gunther secured their final spot in the finals of the tournament to decide John Cena’s final opponent. The two stars will now clash on the upcoming December 5 episode of SmackDown.
The winner between the two is set to make an appearance on next week’s show of the Red brand. Furthermore, Rey Mysterio is set to take on Judgment Day’s Finn Balor in a singles match.
Additionally, after their successful title defense this week, AJ Styles and Dragon Lee are eager to keep the momentum going as they will defend the World Tag Titles against War Raiders (Erik & Ivar) on next week’s show.
The December 8 episode of WWE Raw will emanate live from the T-Mobile Center in Kansas City, Missouri. The episode will serve as the go-home show for the December 13 edition of Saturday Night’s Main Event, where Cena will compete in his retirement match.
