WWE Raw Highlights: CM Punk and Jey Uso’s Explosive Face-Off, Nikki Bella’s Return Match, Women’s Tag Title Showdown & More!

This week’s WWE Raw delivered a thrilling episode ahead of the upcoming Saturday Night Main Event, scheduled for November 2, 2025. From CM Punk and Jey Uso’s fiery confrontation to a chaotic Women’s Tag Team Championship match, the night was packed with action, drama, and surprises that set the tone for the big TV special.

CM Punk and Jey Uso Face Off

The show opened with Jey Uso addressing the crowd, declaring that he’s done listening to Roman Reigns and Jimmy Uso, and that his sole mission is to reclaim the WWE World Heavyweight Championship.

Moments later, CM Punk made his way to the ring, reminding Jey that while they’re friends, only one man can hold the gold. Punk questioned how far Jey is willing to go to become champion. Jey fired back confidently — promising to prove he’s “the real best in the world.”

The tension was electric, setting up a blockbuster clash for the upcoming event.

Penta vs Rusev – No Contest Chaos

Following last week’s drama, Penta and Rusev battled it out in a number-one contender’s match to face Dominik Mysterio for the Intercontinental Championship.

The match went over 20 minutes and showcased incredible intensity — until Los Americanos stormed the ring, attacking both competitors and causing a disqualification. Later, WWE confirmed that Mysterio will defend his title in a Triple Threat Match against Penta and Rusev at Saturday Night Main Event.

The Vision Backstage Segment

Backstage, Bron Breakker confronted Paul Heyman, questioning why he wasn’t part of last week’s Battle Royal. Heyman calmly responded that Breakker doesn’t need to fight 20 men for a title shot — they’ll wait to see who wins at Saturday Night Main Event. The message was clear: patience is part of the plan.

Nikki Bella vs Roxanne Perez

The returning Nikki Bella faced Roxanne Perez in a hard-fought match after saving Stephanie Vaquer from Perez and Raquel Rodriguez last week.

Despite Nikki’s strong comeback, Perez — with help from Raquel — capitalized with a Pop Rox to secure the pinfall victory. Post-match, Perez and Raquel launched a brutal attack on Nikki until Stephanie Vaquer stormed in for the rescue, continuing their growing alliance.

Bron Breakker vs LA Knight

In another intense showdown, Bron Breakker faced LA Knight. The crowd was split throughout the 10-minute battle. LA Knight looked close to victory with a Jump-Up Elbow, but Breakker countered with a devastating Spear, earning a decisive pinfall win.

Sheamus vs JD McDonagh

After eliminating both Finn Balor and JD McDonagh in last week’s Battle Royal, Sheamus took on McDonagh in a 20-minute war.

As Sheamus climbed the ropes for a final blow, Finn Balor interfered, allowing McDonagh to hit a Spanish Fly for the upset win — the biggest singles victory of his career. Expect tensions to rise between these men heading into next week.

Main Event: Charlotte Flair & Alexa Bliss vs Bayley & Lyra Valkyria (Women’s Tag Team Championship)

The night concluded with Charlotte Flair and Alexa Bliss defending their Women’s Tag Team Titles against Bayley and Lyra Valkyria.

The match had the Anaheim crowd on its feet as both teams traded near-falls. When Bayley nearly tapped out, Valkyria made a clutch save — but moments later, Bliss hit a Twisted Bliss, followed by double Natural Selections from the champions to seal the victory.

Just as the celebration began, the Kabuki Warriors attacked everyone in the ring — sending a loud message that they’re next in line for the titles.
