WWE Raw Summary and Highlights
Pat McAfee reminded everyone about the basketball bet he made with Michael Cole, which Pat won. As a result, Cole had to call the show in a tank top. Reluctantly, Michael removed his shirt and jacket to reveal the tank top, giving a small flex for the crowd.
CM Punk – Sami Zayn
The Second City Saint kicked off the show, hyping up the crowd for the upcoming Money in the Bank 2025. Punk reminded everyone that he was a two-time MITB winner and was looking to cash in for the third time because it was the summer of Punk, and he wanted gold around his waist.
Punk then mentioned that one title was around his brother, Jey Uso, and the second name on top of the mountain was John Cena, and it was a bit personal with him. The Second City Saint went off on Cena and The Rock, sending a warning to Cena that he would come for him after MITB.
Punk voiced his intention of becoming the Champion one more time, and then Sami Zayn‘s music hit as he appeared from the entrance ramp. Zayn stepped into the ring as Punk stated that while he got mad when someone interrupted him, not this time.
Zayn picked up the mic, stating that he had heard for the first time since Punk’s return that he had expressed his intentions of becoming the Champion again. Zayn then stated that becoming the Champion wasn’t in the cards for him because of Paul Heyman and his faction. Sami hyped up Punk, stating that he must win and didn’t need to think about Bronson Reed or Bron Breakker, as Jey and he would take care of them.
Sami hyped up Punk, stating that he needed to focus on the match and not worry about Seth Rollins too. Punk reminded that Rollins had never been able to beat him. Zayn stated that he and the WWE Universe wanted him to win tonight.
The Tulsa crowd erupted in “CM Punk” chants as Zayn stated that if Punk won MITB and then the title, he and Punk would be in the ring again, having a different conversation than they were having tonight. Zayn added that if Rollins won, WWE would be unrecognizable. Punk fired back, stating that he looked forward to it. The two stars embraced as Zayn left.

However, he emphasized that MITB was too much and tonight it was Styles vs. CM Punk and El Grande Americano. He urged Styles to forget about Money in the Bank and focus on the Intercontinental title.
Heyman suggested that Styles leave MITB for Seth Rollins, but Styles shut down the idea, stating he would handle Dominik and the IC title later. He told Heyman that he doesn’t respond well to threats and would always push back. Styles advised Heyman to tell Rollins that he knew all about his plan, then reminded him of the old saying, “Everybody has a plan until they get punched in the mouth.”
Judgment Day (Finn Balor & JD McDonagh) vs War Raiders (Erik & Ivar)
After shaking the power balance in his favor, Judgment Day’s Finn Balor, alongside JD McDonagh, took on War Raiders (Erik & Ivar). This was their attempt to get back in the title picture as the World Tag Team Champions, the New Day (Kofi Kingston & Xavier Woods) were in the commentary booth for the match.

Lyra Valkyria – Becky Lynch
Lyra Valkyria made her way to the ring and went off on Becky Lynch, calling her out from her hiding spot. Becky’s music hit, and she made her way into the ring. Lynch began to speak, but Valkyria interrupted, calling her delusional and saying that her downfall should be studied.
Valkyria stated that she had changed and needed to get angry. She reminded Becky that she had beaten her twice, and at Money in the Bank, she would stop Lynch from poisoning the IC title. Becky fired back, claiming she didn’t think she hurt Lyra emotionally, as Valkyria just wanted an excuse to hurt her. Lynch insisted she only wanted to make Valkyria better.
Lynch then said it would hurt Lyra when she had to raise Becky’s hand at MITB. Lynch stepped out of the ring, but Valkyria called her on, urging her to fight. Lynch refused, saying she didn’t fight in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Fired up, Valkyria charged towards the entrance ramp, and the brawl was on. Security and officials rushed in to separate the two stars.

Liv questioned if she was imagining things, to which Balor responded that she was likely frustrated from the two back-to-back losses. He tried to make his case, asking if Liv trusted Dominik Mysterio. Morgan fired back, saying it wasn’t Dominik she didn’t trust. Balor suggested that Roxanne Perez could corner Raquel Rodriguez that night, but Liv was firm, stating that they would handle it on their own.
Kairi Sane vs Raquel Rodriguez
After costing Liv Morgan the match against Kairi Sane last week, Raquel Rodriguez took matters into her own hands this week. Morgan was ringside for the match and tried to interfere when it looked like Sane was going for the final blow.

Jey Uso was in the locker room when Gunther arrived and sat alongside the World Heavyweight Champion. Gunther remarked that the title was personal to him and he appreciated Jey’s effort in trying to be a great champion.
However, he pointed out that Jey had refused to think with his head, and now, Gunther was going to take the title back. Gunther acknowledged Jey’s selflessness in a selfish business but added that he knew Punk was in trouble tonight and that Jey would help him.
The Ring General reminded Jey that he was competing in a tag team match right before his title defense, and that all of this wasn’t the business of a champion. Gunther concluded the segment by stating that next week, the party was over. As he went to leave, Jey stopped him, stating three letters, one word: “TAP.”
CM Punk vs AJ Styles vs El Grande Americano – Men’s MITB Qualifying triple-threat match
