WWE Raw Results, Winners And Grades On June 2, 2025
CM Punk vs. AJ Styles vs. El Grane Americano. Credit: WWE WWE Raw advertised CM Punk vs. AJ Styles and El Grande Americano for the final men's Money in the Bank spot. WWE also advertised Stephanie Vaquer vs. Ivy Nile and Liv Morgan for the final women's Money in the Bank spot. The Judgment Day faced The War Raiders, and Sami Zayn and Jey Uso faced Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed. CM Punk vowed to win the Money in the Bank match and said he'd either cash it in on Jey Uso or John Cena. Punk called Dwayne Johnson a 'bald fraud and a goof' when referencing The Rock, who bought Cena's soul. Punk kissed up to the Oklahoma City Thunder, who will be appearing in the NBA Finals. Michael Cole was wearing a Pacers jersey after losing a bet with Pat McAfee. Sami Zayn interrupted Punk, and as his music died down there were slight 'we want Truth' chants. Sami Zayn cut a promo on Punk saying Punk has to win the briefcase to keep it from Seth Rollins. Apparently, Sami was unaware there are seven other five other stars who can win Money in the Bank outside of Rollins. Sami's promo had the same vibes as Will Ospreay imploring Hangman Adam Page to beat Jon Moxley at AEW All In Texas, except in this case, fans actually care about the heel stable. Backstage, Ivy Nile told Roxanne Perez to stay out of her way. Roxanne obliged. Just like she did in AEW, just like she did in NXT, Stephanie Vaquer was over the moment she stepped through the smoke during her entrance. Fans chanted 'Stephanie!' before the match even began. Vaquer performed her scissor stomp, and Pat McAfee was utterly terrible in his Booker T impression. Vaquer won the match with the Devil's Kiss on Ivy Nile, and I would have no problem if WWE put the rocket on her immediately with a Money in the Bank win. Vaquer had a backstage moment with Rhea Ripley after her win. After Liv Morgan's loss from earlier, suddenly it's Finn Balor who is winning matches while his Judgment Day contemporaries are struggling. The New Day once again appeared on commentary to troll the War Raiders. Roxanne Perez interfered, successfully distracting the War Raiders as Finn Balor picked up the win with the Coup de Grace. As a result, Liv Morgan lost without the help of Perez, while Balor and JD McDonagh won with Perez's help. Backstage, Becky Lynch cut a promo on Lyra Valkyria about how she's in a lose-lose situation headed into Money in the Bank. Lyra Valkyria called out Becky Lynch to confront her live. Lynch obliged, but when Lyra tried cutting her promo, fans gave poor Lyra the 'What' treatment. Valkyria and Lunch brawled at the end of the segment, and had to be separated by WWE officials. Both Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed's music was used in their entrance themes, further evidence that WWE has yet to come up with a group name or music for this faction. There was an excellent spot where Breakker and Reed (dressed in all black) caught Sami Zayn and Jey Uso hit a Suicide Dive to topple all three of them over. Sami Zayn, also dressed in all black appeared out of nowhere to hit a Curb Stomp for the DQ. As Bronson Reed teased a Tsunami on Zayn through a table, CM Punk saved the day with a steel chair. Backstage, Zayn had another confrontation with Karrion Kross, who once again tried to tempt him to turn heel. Backstage, Morgan warned Finn about Roxanne Perez, implying she doesn't trust either of them. Balor reminded Morgan that things didn't go Liv's way last week or this week. Morgan shot down Balor's idea to have Roxanne corner Raquel Rodriguez. Balor then teased coming after Dom's IC Title. The highlights of this match were all the times fans loudly chanted 'We want Truth!' and 'We want R-Truth!' They also chanted 'What's Up?!' The announcers blatantly ignored the chants, except when Pat McAfee finally said 'That's what's up!' As The Judgment Day benefited from the numbers game, Iyo Sky made the save and attacked Liv, who had another backstage moment with Iyo earlier in the night. Kairi capitalized on the distraction and defeated Raquel with an Insane Elbow. The way this storyline is headed, Liv Morgan is going to dethrone Iyo Sky and Roxanne Perez very well may be holding the Money in the Bank briefcase while Liv is world champion. CM Punk's entrance received the Xfinity decibel meter treatment, and it peaked at around 101 decibels. At the request of CM Punk and AJ Styles, referee Shawn Bennett checked El Grande Americano's mask to make sure there was no steel inside. Silly babyfaces, El Grande Americano usually puts the steel in his head during the match, not before. Punk and Styles immediately dumped El Grande Americano out of the ring. After taking a hard hit from Styles, Punk appeared to lose a tooth, but it may have been chewing gum. Punk teased unmasking El Grande Americano, and there was a huge pop until Americano thwarted the unmasking with a jawbreaker over the rope. There was a dueling chant of 'He's Chad Gable/No he's not!' Breakker pulled Punk out of the ring as he was going for the win. Jey Uso and Sami Zayn saved Punk, which played into what Gunther told Jey backstage: that Jey can't help but save all his friends when he should be focusing on his match against Gunther. Of course, El Grande Americano won with a diving loaded headbutt to AJ Styles. Rollins, Breakker and Reed laid out the babyfaces to end the show. This included, not one, but two Tsunamis on Jey Uso who continues to spread himself too thin.

Lineup for WWE RAW (05/12/2025): AJ Styles vs Finn Balor, Creed Brothers return, and more
As the dust settles from WWE Backlash 2025, fans can look forward to an action-packed edition of Monday Night RAW, set to air on May 12 from the KFC Yum! Center in Louisville, Kentucky. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now WWE has already confirmed three high-profile matches for the show, each with its own share of backstory and implications. AJ Styles faces Finn Balor after judgment day tension One of the night's main attractions is a singles bout between AJ Styles and Finn Balor, two former Bullet Club leaders whose paths now cross under very different circumstances. The match was set up during a tense backstage segment on this week's RAW, where Styles informed Dominik Mysterio of his intentions to challenge for the Intercontinental Championship - regardless of whether Mysterio or Penta walks out of Backlash as champion. In response, Dominik turned to Balor for backup. Although Balor initially bristled at being seen as someone's enforcer, he eventually agreed with a smirk - highlighting the ongoing friction within The Judgment Day. With both men holding long-standing grudges and international reputations, the showdown between Styles and Balor could have serious title implications. Creed Brothers take on War Raiders in tag team clash Another major match announced for RAW features the powerhouse duo of Julius and Brutus Creed (American Made) going up against former tag champs Erik and Ivar, collectively known as The War Raiders. After losing their titles to The New Day at WrestleMania, the War Raiders are looking to reassert themselves as top contenders. Meanwhile, The New Day approached Chad Gable backstage, arguing that the Creed Brothers deserved a shot at the gold before the War Raiders get a rematch. The outcome of this match could determine who moves up in the title picture on the red brand. Women's division heats up with tag team showdown In a highly anticipated women's tag match, current Women's World Champion Iyo Sky will team up with Rhea Ripley to take on rising stars Roxanne Perez and Giulia. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The match stems from a heated sequence on RAW where Sky defeated Perez, only to be blindsided by Giulia after a deceptive show of sportsmanship. With tensions already running high in the women's division and WrestleMania fallout still fresh, expect this tag team bout to deliver intensity and perhaps spark new rivalries heading into the summer. For now the confirmed matches are: AJ Styles vs Finn Balor vs Finn Balor War Raiders vs Creed Brothers Iyo Sky & Rhea Ripley vs Roxanne Perez & Giulia Fans can expect more developments following Backlash, with surprises likely in store.
