WWE RAW December 30, 2025 Results: Six Key Takeaways

Ashish Negi

Main Event Jey Uso is set to collide with Drew McIntyre on RAW's Netflix Premiere.

WWE aired one last time on the USA Network to pave the way for the RAW’s Netflix Premiere. It was the last episode of World Wrestling Entertainment this year and ended the year for WWE on a high. We had a segment between CM Punk and Seth Rollins, a match between Judgment Day and War Raiders with Damian Priest, and semi-finals for the Women’s Intercontinental Championship. We saw a dispute within Judgment Day. A brutal beatdown on R-Truth by Pete Dunne canceled their match.

Ludwig Kaiser boasted himself and called Bronn Breaker out. Sheamus who was out of WWE owing to broken Ribs at the Survivor Series returned to the squared ring. Kaiser received a brutal beatdown from Sheamus followed by a Brogue Kick. WWE has restarted the rivalry between Celtic Warrior and Ludwig Kaiser and we will see them facing off each other soon.

Seth Rollins vs. CM Punk Segment

Both superstars launched a verbal assault on each other. Seth mocked CM Punk that if things would not go Punk’s way at the Netflix Premiere then he would cry about it, take his ball, go home, and leave WWE for another 10 years. Seth stated that he will keep fighting on Monday Night RAW irrespective of the result. Punk entered the link and called Seth’s word an “industry planned cliche” bootlicker’s line and asked him where he heard these lines.

CM Punk asked whether Stone Cold took his ball and Go Home. He asked whether “The Man” Becky Lynch (Seth’s wife) took her balls and went home coz Punk didn’t see her compete for long. He claimed that he never abandoned his fan but he abandoned Seth. Punk said that he doesn’t regret the choices he made. Punk said that he was never back to make friends and he publically admitted that he is here to make money already.

Seth went below the belt claiming his wife took a break to raise kids and that Punk doesn’t know how to do that. Stone Cold left but when Punk left, he wanted WWE to die and talked smack about it. He said that Punk even joined the rival industry. Punk claimed that Seth was playing the victim in the mess he created and the crowd chanted Punk’s name when Seth’s Television Time came.

Seth called Punk a cancer and that he needed to be cut out. Their word war went back and forth making it the most intense segment of today’s episode. We can see the storm raging and paving the way to the most brutal match of RAW’s Netflix Premiere.

Jey Uso to face Drew McIntyre at the RAW Netflix Premiere

Drew McIntyre has been attacking Bloodline members for helping Roman Reigns at the Survivor Series: WarGames. In previous episodes, he attacked Sami Zayn, Jimmy Uso, and Jey Uso. Main Event Jey Uso has been at the receiving end of the most sneak attacks by him. The Scottish Warrior attacked him backstage due to which he was out of WWE for more than two weeks.

Jey returns in the last episode to save Sami Zayn from a brutal beatdown by The Scottish Psychopath. Jey again helped Sami after he lost to Drew McIntyre and Drew attacked him after the match. Jey Uso’s acknowledging Houston crowd was interrupted by New Day and while they tried to speak, they met with “New Day Sucks” chants.

Jey called Drew McIntyre out today but Solo Sikoa’s video message appeared on the big screen instead. Solo vowed to beat Roman Reigns and keep the Ulafala and this distraction was enough for Drew McIntyre to launch another sneak attack on Jey Uso. Jey Uso countered a Claymore with a Superkick and tried to assert his dominance but received a Glasgow Kiss instead.

Official interrupted and tried to escort Drew out of the arena but he ran back and delivered a Claymore to Jey and shouted you are next. It was later revealed that these two will face each other at WWE RAW’s Netflix Premiere.

Damian Priest and War Raiders def. Judgment Day

It was a match between the brutality of War Raiders and Damian Priest and the dirty number games of Judgment Day. JD McDonagh, Finn Balor, and Dirty Dom took the ring with Carlito on the outside. Both the teams took turns to dominate the match. While Damian Priest and War Raiders’ brutality was too much to take for Judgment Day, their numbers game kept them in the game.

War Raiders neutralized the numbers game outside the ring. Damian Priest tried a Razor’s Edge on Dominic Mysterio and Dirty Dom countered it to throw Priest on the second rope. Dirty Dom set up for 619 only to receive a brutal South of Heaven from Damian Priest. Damian Priest pinned Dirty Dom and won the match.

Finn Balor entered the ring and launched a vicious attack on Damian Priest’s left knee. Judgment Day kept attacking his knee till the War Raiders entered the ring to make the save. Finn was seen shouting it isn’t over outside the ring.

Lyra Valkyria overcomes Iyo Sky to enter the Women’s Intercontinental Championship Final

The two divas of the WWE women’s roster faced off for the final spot in the Women’s Intercontinental Championship final. The match was clearly the best of the night as both superstars knew each other’s tactics. The match went to near stalemate numerous times but both the superstars were not ready to give in. Fans were kept at the edge of their seats with all the counters and reversals they performed on each other.

Iyo Sky’s Over The Moonsault attempt was negotiated when Valkyria also climbed up the rope. Valhyria delivered a Shotgun Dropkick to Iyo Sky slamming Iyo at the ringside. She followed it up with a Tornado DDT and a Suplex but Iyo Sky kicked out at two.

Iyo attempted a German Suplex pin attempt but Lyra kicked out this time. The Genius of Sky dominated the game and tried another Over The Moonsault but Lyra moved out of harm’s way. Lyra reversed the pin attempt by Iyo Sky and pinned her instead to win the match. Lyra Valkyria has had Iyo Sky’s number since summer. She has now defeated Iyo Sky in two semifinals, first at the semifinal of the Queen of the Ring Tournament and today.

Chad Gable Defeat Otis by Submission

Otis had to fight the entire match against Chad Gable and American Made. While American Made were not part of the match, their interruption proved decisive during the course of the game. Otis went toe to toe with Chad Gable and dominated Chad Gable with his immense power. Chad Gable tried an Angle Lock on Otis but he kicked him out of the ring.

Otis pulled an Angle Lock on Chad Gable giving him a taste of his own med. Chad Gable delivered a Deadlift German Suplex to Otis. Otis countered a high rope maneuver from Gable. Ivy Nile holds the leg of Otis creating enough distraction for Gable to put Otis in an Angle Lock forcing him into submission.

Dakota Kai defeated Zoey Stark to advance to the Women’s Intercontinental Championship Final

Stark controlled the initial half of the match. Dakota Kai performed a Rolling Backcracker to shift momentum towards her followed by Dakota Kick and Big Boot. Dakota Kai countered Zoey’s Springboard Jump with a Kick to the Jaw. Dakota delivered a Go To Kick to Stark to pin her and advance to the Women’s Intercontinental Championship Final.

Will WWE announce more matches for RAW’s Netflix premiere on WWE Friday Night Smackdown? I guess we will have to wait until Friday to find out.
