Indeed, the entire WWE Raw of this week was nothing short of madness with breathtaking showdowns, touching returns along with intense conflicts all the way leading to the Saturday Night Main Event (November 2, 2025). To put it differently, the red brand did not only deliver confrontations but also mixed them up with power, feelings and a lot of surprises ranging from the razzmatazz of CM Punk and Jey Uso to the return match of Nikki Bella along with the Women’s Tag Team title thriller.
🔥 CM Punk and Jey Uso Face Off
The first thing that happened was Jey Uso declaring his freedom from Roman Reigns and Jimmy Uso and promising to become the WWE World Heavyweight Champion once again. That was the moment when CM Punk entered the ring — reminding Jey that being a friend would not matter when the prize is the belt. The very tension of their stare had the audience going crazy, making it clear that the fight that has been brewing at the Saturday event would be a very explosive one.
💥 Penta vs Rusev Ends in Chaos
What should have been a very solid Penta vs Rusev bout for the No. 1 contender’s position to take on Dominik Mysterio for the Intercontinental Title ended in chaos when Los Americanos suddenly ran into the ring. WWE then declared a Triple Threat Match — Mysterio vs Penta vs Rusev — for the Saturday Night Main Event, stacking another round of unpredictability.
🧠 Backstage: Bron Breakker Confronts Paul Heyman
The drama backstage was really at its peak when Bron Breakker came face to face with Paul Heyman about not being part of last week’s Battle Royal. Heyman’s mysterious answer — “Patience is part of the plan” — could have meant that Breakker’s long wait for his big moment might be in reach.
👑 Nikki Bella Returns vs Roxanne Perez
In the comeback that everyone was eager to see, Nikki Bella went against Roxanne Perez after saving Stephanie Vaquer last week. Despite Bella’s fire and spirit, Perez — with the help of Raquel Rodriguez — managed to win the match with a Pop Rox. After the match, the two, Perez and Raquel, virtually buried the already exhausted Nikki until Vaquer’s intervention turned up to be a resilient tag-team alliance for the future.
⚡ Bron Breakker vs LA Knight
Breakker’s formidable power saw him winning a very fast-paced contest that almost saw Knight winning with the Jump-Up Elbow, but he got countered into the Spear which was devastational after all. Breakker is now building up even more momentum as we get closer to November.
🩸 Sheamus vs JD McDonagh
Last week’s eliminations brought Sheamus to the ring to fight JD McDonagh in a tough match that lasted 20 minutes. When Sheamus was just a step away from winning, Finn Bálor’s interference allowed McDonagh to execute a Spanish Fly for a surprising upset. The grudges between The Judgment Day and Sheamus are definitely not over.
👭 Main Event: Charlotte Flair & Alexa Bliss Retain Tag Titles
The main event that closed the night saw Flair and Bliss defending their Women’s Tag Team Championships against Bayley and Lyra Valkyria in an electrifying match which got the audience in And the Anaheim shivering with excitement. After several close calls, Bliss gave out the Twisted Bliss, and Flair followed with two Natural Selections that sealed the fate of the match soon after. However, the celebration was cut short when the Kabuki Warriors attacked all four women and made it clear that they were coming for the gold.
