The Empire’s Declaration: A Bold Opening Statement
RAW kicked off with a parade of stars, including the fan-favorite Sami Zayn, Jey Uso, the enigmatic Penta, and the ever-present threat of The Judgment Day (Roxanne Perez, Dominik Mysterio, Raquel Rodriguez, Finn Balor, & JD McDonagh).
But the real fireworks started when Seth Rollins, Bron Breakker, Bronson Reed, and the cunning Paul Heyman hit the ring. Breakker, oozing confidence, snatched the mic from Rollins and boldly declared himself the future of WWE. He then unleashed a vicious verbal assault on Sami Zayn, branding him “irrelevant” and promising a brutal “mauling” – a clear sign that Breakker is on a collision course with everyone! Rollins and Heyman looked on, seemingly surprised by Breakker’s intensity. Not to be outdone, Bronson Reed issued a direct challenge to Jey Uso, vowing to crush him with a “Tsunami.” Paul Heyman, in classic fashion, declared that “The Empire Strikes First,” promising to dismantle Zayn, Uso, and Penta, while also taking a shot at Roman Reigns‘ continued absence. Rollins wrapped up the segment, proclaiming it “Monday Night Rollins” and setting the stage for a night of chaos!
Backstage Chaos & Strategic Moves
Behind the curtain, Finn Balor was meticulously polishing The Judgment Day’s championship gold. In their clubhouse, Roxanne Perez was holding a dramatic “vigil” for Liv Morgan, with Raquel Rodriguez hilariously reminding her that Morgan isn’t actually gone. Meanwhile, JD McDonagh expressed concern over their tag titles and headed off to chat with Adam Pearce, while Dominik Mysterio received a suspicious cake from a lurking AJ Styles. What’s Styles cooking up?

This was a thrilling, fast-paced encounter with both Superstars trading impactful blows and near falls. Rodriguez’s timely distraction gave Perez a momentary edge, but Sane’s resilience shone through. Even after a commercial break, as Perez relentlessly targeted Sane’s arm, Kairi mounted an incredible comeback, unleashing a flurry of signature moves. Despite Perez’s best efforts and attempts at her “PopRox,” Sane ingeniously countered into a roll-up for the hard-fought victory!
Winner: Kairi Sane
The celebrations were short-lived as Perez and Rodriguez launched a ruthless post-match assault on Sane. But just when it looked bleak, Asuka stormed to the ring, evening the odds and sending The Judgment Day duo scrambling! This sets up an exciting future for the “Empresses of Tomorrow!”

Becky Lynch’s Evolution War of Words
Backstage, The War Raiders were seen chatting with Adam Pearce, followed by a hilariously “mourning” New Day, draped in black and demanding a tag title rematch. Then, Becky Lynch strolled by, offering her “well wishes” to New Day before bizarrely tearing into Big E, calling him a “scumbag” before heading to the ring to address her Evolution triple threat match.
In the ring, Becky Lynch was fuming! She railed against Lyra Valkyria and Bayley being added to her Evolution title match, implying a conspiracy and demanding to choose her own opponent. This brought out both Bayley and Lyra Valkyria, igniting a heated war of words! Valkyria accused Lynch of being a “lunatic” and demanded her title back, while Bayley asserted her own claim to the Intercontinental Championship and lashed out at Valkyria for costing her. The verbal sparring quickly escalated into a chaotic brawl, with Valkyria ultimately laying out both Bayley and Lynch with her “Nightwing” finisher! This triple threat is going to be explosive!
The Empire’s Backstage Strategy
In the locker room, Bron Breakker questioned Seth Rollins about Karrion Kross, but Rollins dismissed Kross as irrelevant, pleased with Breakker’s destruction of Zayn. Paul Heyman then delivered the news: Sami Zayn is “out indefinitely” after Breakker’s attack. Rollins, ever the strategist, then instructed Bronson Reed to do the same to Jey Uso.
Match 3: Jey Uso Wins by DQ Against Bronson Reed
The “YEET-ers” were out in full force as Jey Uso made his way to the ring to face the powerful Bronson Reed. The match was a hard-hitting affair that quickly spilled outside.

But Reed retaliated in a shocking manner, launching a chair at Uso, forcing the referee to call for the bell and award the win to Jey Uso via disqualification!
Winner by DQ: Jey Uso
However, the victory was bittersweet. After the match, Reed mercilessly delivered two devastating “Tsunami” splashes to Uso, leaving him laid out as officials rushed to intervene. The Empire’s message was clear!

Was this a new strategy or a dirty trick?
Winner: El Grande Americano
Goldberg Returns! A Shocking Confrontation
Backstage, Penta was warming up for his main event clash when Paul Heyman approached him with a chilling warning: he would be “taken out” tonight. Bron Breakker also made his presence felt, trying to assert dominance before Penta fiercely yelled at him and left.
Then, the roar of the crowd erupted as Gunther made his way to the ring! Gunther, ever confident, continued his verbal assault on Bill Goldberg, accusing him of being afraid. But he spoke too soon! In a shocking moment, Bill Goldberg‘s iconic car screeched into the parking lot, and the WCW legend stormed to the ring, confronting Gunther face-to-face! Goldberg angrily demanded they fight then and there, knocking the mic out of Gunther’s hand. When Gunther went to strike, Goldberg dropped him with a single blow! Goldberg then prepared for a spear, but Gunther, wisely, rolled out of the ring and retreated, a look of pure shock on his face. The anticipation for their Saturday showdown just skyrocketed!
Main Event: Seth Rollins Pins Penta, LA Knight Attacks!

The match exploded from the opening bell! Penta immediately superkicked Rollins out of the ring, relentlessly pursuing him and slamming his head into the announce desk. Rollins eventually gained control, but Penta fought back with his signature, unpredictable offense. The action was fast and furious, spilling in and out of the ring. After a commercial break, Rollins dominated with stomps and kicks, but Penta rallied with a flurry of kicks and a “Slingblade.” The back-and-forth action continued with breathtaking near falls, including a PentaDriver that almost secured the win! Rollins then resorted to desperate measures, slamming Penta’s head into his groin with a blatant low blow. This opened the door for Rollins to deliver The Stomp for the hard-fought victory!
