WWE Raw Results & Summary
Adam Pearce opened the night
WWE Raw General Manager Adam Pearce opened the show by announcing that Stephanie Vaquer was unable to compete, and Becky Lynch would challenge Women’s World Champion Liv Morgan for the title instead. Undisputed WWE Champion Sami Zayn then interrupted Pearce, complaining about not being booked despite travelling to Fresno for promotional commitments.
Zayn turned his frustration toward the fans, claiming they needed everything explained to them and taking credit for WWE’s success, including its lucrative Netflix deal. He also boasted about his impact on the wrestling industry, comparing his ability to legends such as Shawn Michaels, Eddie Guerrero, and Kurt Angle.
Penta and Je’Von Evans were among the superstars he criticised for interrupting him. Evans eventually confronted Zayn, prompting Pearce to announce a WWE Championship match between them.
Grade: B+
Sami Zayn (c) vs Je’Von Evans (WWE Undisputed Championship)
Sami Zayn successfully defended his Undisputed WWE Championship against Je’Von Evans on Raw in Fresno after surviving a hard-fought contest. Evans, who previously lost the Money in the Bank ladder match on October 10, pushed the champion to his limits and nearly secured the victory with a late frog splash, but Zayn managed to kick out.
Midway through the match, Penta appeared and teased cashing in his Money in the Bank contract. However, Bron Breakker suddenly attacked him, creating a distraction that allowed Zayn to connect with the Helluva Kick and score the pinfall.
Following the match, The Vision launched a brutal assault, leaving the competitors laid out. Both Penta and Evans suffered Breakker’s spear and Bronson Reed’s Tsunami as the segment ended on a chaotic note.
Winner: Sami Zayn

Bayley vs Lyra Valkyria (No DQ Match)
Bayley finally gained revenge against Lyra Valkyria by defeating her in a brutal No Disqualification Match on Monday’s WWE Raw. After suffering two consecutive losses to her former friend and tag team partner, the Role Model used the opportunity to unleash months of frustration and settle their rivalry.
Bayley attacked Valkyria with a belt and a kendo stick, while both women endured significant punishment throughout the contest. Valkyria crashed ribs-first onto a chair after Bayley avoided her moonsault attempt, while Bayley also suffered painful blows, including a missed elbow that struck a steel chair.
Despite the punishment, Bayley displayed remarkable resilience. She caught Valkyria mid-flight with a powerbomb onto a trash can before delivering an elbow drop through a table outside the ring. Back inside, Bayley applied a crossface while using a kendo stick against Valkyria’s mouth, forcing her former partner to submit and securing a hard-fought victory.
Winner: Bayley

Raquel Rodriguez vs IYO SKY
Iyo Sky moved closer to a shot at the Women’s Intercontinental Championship after defeating Raquel Rodriguez on Monday’s WWE Raw. Despite Rodriguez’s strength and size advantage, Sky displayed her agility and resilience to secure a victory in the closing moments. Rodriguez attempted to deliver the Tejana Bomb, but Sky countered the move into a roll-up pin to steal the win.
However, the celebration was short-lived as Roxanne Perez suddenly attacked Sky after the match. Perez then teamed up with Rodriguez to deliver a two-on-one beatdown, allowing Judgment Day to stand tall. Sky’s victory strengthened her championship aspirations, but the post-match assault suggested that her path to the title would not be straightforward.
Winner: IYO SKY

Page delivered an Ego Plex to Gable on the arena floor, leaving the reigning Intercontinental Champion unable to continue temporarily as officials checked on him.
Lee fought valiantly against both opponents, displaying resilience while trying to keep his team in contention. However, Cass halted Lee’s momentum with a big boot, allowing Page to deliver another Ego Plex and secure the pinfall. The victory highlighted the duo’s growing chemistry and established them as a formidable tag team following their individual matches in recent weeks.

Liv Morgan (c) vs Becky Lynch (Women’s World Championship)
Moving to a second impromptu match of the night, Liv Morgan defended her title against her rival Becky Lynch. Both stars looked to get a win early and even kicked out of many ‘finishers’ on the night. Lynch looked determined as she had much control of the match, but Morgan survived and showed grit to hold on to the title.
Chaos erupted during the main event of WWE Raw as Becky Lynch challenged Liv Morgan for the Women’s World Championship, but the match ended without a decisive result. Lynch gained momentum after taking out interfering Judgment Day members Raquel Rodriguez and Roxanne Perez. She countered Morgan’s Oblivion with a Manhandle Slam, but the heels interrupted the pinfall, resulting in a disqualification victory for Lynch.
The numbers game continued as Lynch faced a three-on-one assault until Chelsea Green and Iyo Sky came to her rescue. However, Judgment Day maintained control.
With Morgan seemingly vulnerable in the ring, Tiffany Stratton rushed out and delivered the Prettiest Moonsault Ever, teasing a Money in the Bank cash-in. Before she could proceed, Dominik Mysterio pulled Morgan to safety, allowing Judgment Day to retreat and leaving the championship situation unresolved.
Winner: Becky Lynch via DQ
Grade: B+
