WWE RAW San Jose, California
The commentators are Michael Cole and Pat McAfee.
– Tonight is WWE RAW, the red show starts with the commentators welcoming us and images of the first RAW on Netflix are broadcast. CM Punk then enters and takes a microphone. He supports firefighters and rescue workers in California. CM Punk mentions his victory against Seth Rollins last week. He says his appearance at last year’s Royal Rumble didn’t go as planned. He got injured and he didn’t know what his future would be. Winning the Royal Rumble was one of his dreams and it made him think his career was over. He couldn’t see his dreams anymore (making the John Cena gesture). He made one of his greatest failures one of his greatest comebacks. Speaking of coming back, he sees John Cena and he always has. Cena announced his participation in the Royal Rumble, so so did he! CM Punk will send 29 other Superstars over the top rope and point to the WrestleMania logo.
Seth Rollins’ music hits and he enters the ring. Rollins claims he said he would be on RAW whether he won or lost. He is a man of his word. CM Punk asks him if he is the winner. Seth Rollins says he’d rather be the worst version of himself instead of being whatever version of Punk. He has lost big matches before but last week was the worst defeat of his career. He’s disappointed in himself and he underestimated CM Punk. So he intends to take her dream away. CM Punk is not going to win the Royal Rumble because Seth Rollins is going to win it! Drew McIntyre’s music hits and he arrives on stage.
Drew McIntyre says that when we tell ourselves that we can’t be more selfish, what are they trying to convince themselves of? CM Punk reminds Drew McIntyre that the last time they saw each other, McIntyre was on his knees begging him to let him live. If he moves forward, he will need more than 15 staples to close his head. McIntyre says he wasn’t talking to Punk but to Rollins. The latter responds by telling him to come to the ring. McIntyre tells them that they are like in front of a mirror, they are the same.
Drew McIntyre says no one should let Roman Reigns take over at Tribal Combat, Seth Rollins wasn’t there, he was just minding his own business selfishly and he lost his match. Seth Rollins says he has no patience for all the shit he says. CM Punk says he has no patience for Rollins and McIntyre. Seth Rollins and CM Punk prepare to fight and Drew McIntyre starts to advance before refusing. He says there’s a bigger problem than that right now. He’s going to have to back off for himself and the locker room. If only there was a title match before Roman Reigns… McIntyre will see Rollins and Punk at the Royal Rumble!
– Chad Gable enters and takes a microphone. He says Gable’s 2025 version is the best. He has goals and he plans to accomplish them. He has a to-do list. He’s already taken care of Alpha Academy and it’s going to continue tonight with a masked guy that Adam Pearce found for him. Next, Chad Gable will win a solo title. The lights go out and Chad Gable’s opponent arrives… it’s Penta!
Singles Match
Penta vs Chad Gable
At the end of the match, Penta made his Sacrifice on Chad Gable followed by a Penta Driver to win by pinfall.
Winner: Penta
– After the match, Jackie Redmond joins Penta in the ring. The wrestler thanks San José and knows that everyone was waiting for this moment. He was also waiting for this moment! Penta speaks in Spanish. He knows it’s a new era, it’s not just the era of Netflix, it’s also the era of Penta! Zero Miedo!
– Behind the scenes, we find Finn Balor, Carlito and JD McDonagh. Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez join them. Balor tells him that he was telling them that he is certain that Liv Morgan would be champion again. Morgan responds that it wasn’t just taking the title, it was taking everything from him. Dominik Mysterio arrives with a bouquet of flowers and tells Liv Morgan that it’s not what she thought. Morgan takes the bouquet and says it doesn’t matter, she’s not angry. She asks him to go get his bag from the car. Morgan and Rodriguez leave and Mysterio is happy. Judgment Day is gearing up for the Finn Balor match tonight. JD McDonagh and Carlito go to Adam Pearce for their revenge. Finn Balor invites Dominik Mysterio to stay there tonight and get Liv Morgan’s things.
– Behind the scenes, Cathy Kelley is with PFC who intends to win the Women’s Intercontinental title regardless of who wins the tournament.
– Daniel Cormier is in the crowd.
Singles Match
Sheamus vs Ludwig Kaiser
At the end of the match, Sheamus avoided a one-shot from Ludwig Kaiser and followed up with his Brogue Kick followed by the pinfall for the victory.
Winner: Sheamus
– After the match, Sheamus celebrates his victory in ringside and catches the eye of Bron Breakker who was watching the match in the crowd. Breakker pushes Sheamus and the referee gets between the two men.
– Backstage, Cathy Kelley is with Seth Rollins to talk about her date with Adam Pearce. Seth Rollins will face Drew McIntyre next week. Rollins says he wanted to fight him tonight but he didn’t want to, so it’ll be next week. Plus, he owes him a match after WrestleMania. Seth Rollins leaves and runs into Sami Zayn. The latter tells him that this defeat against CM Punk must have been complicated. Rollins agrees and says it’s been a great week for Zayn. Sami Zayn doesn’t understand but Seth Rollins recalls Roman Reigns’ victory. Zayn helped him find his Ula Fala, will he help Roman Reigns for long or will he help himself?
– Backstage, Karrion Kross comes out of Adam Pearce’s office and tells Miz that apparently the Wyatt Sicks have been transferred to SmackDown. Sami Zayn arrives and asks them if this is Pearce’s office. Kross agrees and says Zayn always wanted to become world champion, but he overheard his conversation with Seth Rollins and all he sees is a friendship falling apart. The Miz says they don’t need to worry about Zayn when they talk about World Titles. Sami Zayn says no one worries about Miz anymore since he’s alongside Karrion Kross. The Miz replies that he has been world champion twice, 2 titles more than Sami Zayn. The latter tells him that he has to go see Adam Pearce but that will wait, he will ask him for a match against the Miz tonight.
– Oba Femi, new NXT champion, is in the crowd.
– Gunther enters and says he followed the first RAW on Netflix. He was impressed but the performances in the ring impressed him less. He only saw people fighting over personal issues. Who will be the Head of the Table? Who will be the Best in the World? We don’t care! The only thing people should be fighting for would be that World Heavyweight Championship belt. Jey Uso’s music hits and he enters the ring. He asks if he heard Gunther say he needs someone for that title? The answer: Main Event Jey Uso! The Bloodline is behind him. Now it’s him against Gunther for the World Heavyweight title on Saturday Night’s Main Event!
Gunther asks him if he’s serious. Jey Uso responds with a Yeet. Gunther says he admires her courage. It would be naive to say if he said he would remain champion forever, but Jey Uso is naive to think he can beat him. They have already faced each other twice for the Intercontinental title and Jey Uso has never won. Jey Uso is entertaining but when the bell rings, Gunther is going to show that Jey Uso is a great tag team wrestler. Jey Uso is not at his level. For him, Main Event is just a nickname. For Gunther, this is his place. In Jey Uso’s place, Gunther would walk away from this belt. A match on Saturday Night’s Main Event is fine for him, it’s up to Jey Uso to decide.
Gunther leaves the ring and Jey Uso tells him to wait. He respects him. Everything he just said is true. He is better than him. Jey Uso is just a tag team wrestler, he was afraid to be alone. But he wakes up every morning telling himself that he will gain respect. At Saturday Night’s Main Event, Gunther will respect him when Jey Uso kicks his ass for the World Heavyweight Title!
– A video of the final of the WWE Women’s Intercontinental Championship tournament is shown.

Gagnant: Sami Zayn
– WWE announces that Bron Breakker will defend the Intercontinental title against Sheamus at Saturday Night’s Main Event, while Gunther will put the World Heavyweight title on the line against Jey Uso that evening.
– Rhea Ripley makes her entrance with her belt! She says Mami is back on top! She is one of the most dominant women in WWE and she is once again World Champion. Nia Jax’s music cuts her and she arrives. She said she was talking to Adam Pearce about possible transfers and she had to come and talk to Ripley. She wants to tell us that she is going to win the Royal Rumble and she is going to challenge the champion of her choice. Tiffany Stratton thinks she’s at Tiffy Top. Mommy thinks she’s at the top. Bayley appears in the crowd and Nia Jax says she doesn’t know what she’s doing here… oh yes, she comes from this poor town. There is only one woman at the top of this division and that is Nia Jax. It’s not Rhea Ripley, not Tiffany Stratton and not Bayley.
Bayley gets past the baricade and gets in the ring. She says maybe it’s not her show but her city. She invites Jax to tell her face to face. Nia Jax pushes her to the floor and faces Rhea Ripley. The champion is pushed but she defends herself with a headbutt! Jax headbutts her back and Bayley attacks Nia Jax who gets thrown out of the ring.
