WWE RAW (September 15, 2025): Build towards Wrestlepalooza intensify; John Cena to appear; special start time & more set for next week

Two matches for Wrestlepalooza were announced on the September 8 episode of Raw!

The September 8 episode of Monday Night Raw continued the ascent towards the upcoming Wrestlepalooza 2025. The show aired live from the Fiserv Forum in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA. During the show, the promotion announced two more matches for the upcoming PLE.

The Usos (Jimmy & Jey Uso) will battle The Vision (Bron Breakker & Bronson Reed) in a tag team match, while the team of AJ Lee and CM Punk will take on Becky Lynch and Seth Rollins in a mixed tag team match.

In the first match of the show, AJ Styles defeated El Grande Americano, while Raquel Rodriguez pinned Lyra Valkyria. Rusev defeated Penta in an impromptu match, with little interference from The New Day and Grayson Waller.

Asuka submitted Nikki Bella, while Bronson Reed defeated LA Knight in the main event. After the match, Breakker and Reed started punishing Knight, who was aided by Jimmy Uso. After Big Jim fell prey to the numbers game, Jey arrived to even the odds, and Knight stepped in with a steel chair to send Bron Brons packing. Out of nowhere, Jey speared Knight to end the show.

John Cena returns to Monday Night Raw next week

During the September 8 show, the promotion announced matches and segments for the next week’s episode, which will serve as the go-home show for Wrestlepalooza. The 17-time WWE World Champion, John Cena, is set to make an appearance on next week’s show ahead of his scheduled clash with Brock Lesnar at the upcoming PLE.

Furthermore, after suffering defeat against one member of the Judgment Day, Lyra Valkyria is set to battle another Judgment Day member in Roxanne Perez. Lyra’s beef with the Judgment Day started in a backstage segment on the September 1 show, where she asked GM Adam Pearce to face any one of the two members of the Judgment Day. After losing against Raquel Rodriguez, she will now battle Perez next week.

Additionally, ahead of their mixed tag team match, the team of AJ Lee and CM Punk will take on Becky Lynch, and Seth Rollins will come face-to-face on the September 15 show. Fans can expect another fiery segment between the two real-life couples.

The September 15 episode of WWE Raw is set to air live from the MassMutual Center in Springfield, Massachusetts, USA. The show will have an early start time of 7 PM ET/ 4 PM PT; in fact, the remaining shows this month will all have an early start time of 7 PM.
