WWE RAW Results: IYO SKY & Rhea Ripley Triumph; Creed Brothers Down War Raiders After New Day's Distraction
Last Updated: Let's take a look at the results of all matches that unfolded on May 12's episode of Monday Night RAW. The post-Backlash WWE RAW opened with the return of CM Punk. He claimed to have been betrayed by Paul Heyman. He also poked fun at Seth Rollins, calling him a 'CM Punk from Temu". Rollins showed up and accused Punk of gaslighting everyone about Heyman. That's when Bron Breakker appeared at the arena and attacked Punk. Sami Zayn and Jey Uso made the save before Rollins fled the scene. Following a chaotic opening segment, the RAW episode featured a singles fight between Penta and Chad Gable, while the Creed Brothers faced the War Raiders in a tag-team battle. Moving forward, AJ Styles went head-to-head against Finn Balor, and IYO SKY teamed up with Rhea Ripley to take on the pair of Giulia and Roxanne Perez. Let's take a look at the results of all matches that unfolded on May 12's episode of Monday Night RAW: Chad Gable vs Penta: Gable started commandingly and welcomed Pental with some big kicks and a headbutt. Penta bounced back with a superkick and followed it up with a codebreaker. He was setting up an electric chair-esque move but failed to execute it properly. Gable unleashed a moonsault, but Penta quickly countered it with a superkick. He then used the Mexican Destroyer to pin Gable. Creed Brothers vs War Raiders: With the New Day on commentary duty, the match went through much drama. The two teams traded some strikes as Ivar launched the Banzai Drop and Brutas came back with a suplex and a moonsault. The New Day ran a distraction, which helped The Creeds shell out the Butus Ball Device and seal the deal. Styles took early control as she turned an amber to catch his opponent for a pin attempt. Balor used the ropes to break the hold but missed out on the Coup de Grâce. Cartilo and JC McDonagh tried to interfere but were knocked down by Styles. Penta came forward to assist Styles, who got the Phenomenal Forearm to secure the victory. IYO SKY & Rhea Ripley vs Giulia & Roxanne Perez: Perez and SKY started the match before Ripley tagged in and got the better of Perez. Giulia attempted a double-team move, but SKY countered it with a big dive. After some back-and-forth, Perez accidentally brought down Giulia, and Ripley took advantage of the situation and used the Riptide to win the tag-team battle.
