WWE Raw Results & Review – September 29, 2025: Roman Reigns Returns, Dominik Retains, and Tornado Tag Chaos
The September 29, 2025 edition of WWE Raw aired live from Raleigh, North Carolina, delivering championship drama, emotional storylines, and the shocking return of Roman Reigns. With Crown Jewel just two weeks away, WWE is firing on all cylinders. Let’s break down everything that went down on Raw.
Rhea Ripley, IYO SKY, and the Kabuki Warriors Drama
The show kicked off with an emotional confrontation. Rhea Ripley called out Asuka and Kairi Sane after last week’s betrayal of IYO SKY. SKY, torn between loyalty and heartbreak, admitted she still cared for them. Asuka appeared on the Tron, offering forgiveness only if SKY apologized — before unleashing blue mist in her face. The Kabuki Warriors launched a brutal assault, leaving Ripley and SKY battered. This women’s storyline is among Raw’s most compelling threads heading into Crown Jewel.
Intercontinental Championship Match: Dominik Mysterio (c) vs. Rusev
Rusev looked dominant early, overpowering the slippery “Dirty” Dominik Mysterio. However, with Judgment Day interference and a sneaky low blow, Mysterio stole the win with a roll-up to retain his Intercontinental Championship. Rusev’s frustrations suggest this rivalry is far from over.
Winner: Dominik Mysterio (still Intercontinental Champion)
Bayley vs. Raquel Rodriguez
Bayley tried to bounce back from recent setbacks but fell short against the powerhouse Raquel Rodriguez. After withstanding Bayley’s offense, Raquel sealed the victory with a crushing Tejana Bomb. Post-match, chaos erupted as Lyra Valkyria intervened, trying to protect Bayley from The Judgment Day, but Bayley scolded her in frustration. Seeds of a complicated alliance continue to grow.
Winner: Raquel Rodriguez
LA Knight vs. Kofi Kingston
The crowd was firmly behind LA Knight as he clashed with Kofi Kingston. In a competitive back-and-forth, Knight countered Kingston’s Trouble in Paradise and scored the win with Blunt Force Trauma. Knight’s momentum is building as he eyes championship gold.
Winner: LA Knight
AJ Styles & Dragon Lee vs. Los Americanos
AJ Styles teamed up with Dragon Lee to take on the cocky Los Americanos. Styles delivered a Phenomenal Forearm and a decisive Styles Clash to secure the pinfall victory. Styles looks strong heading into his rumored showdown with John Cena at Crown Jewel.
Winners: AJ Styles & Dragon Lee
Tornado Tag Team Match: The Usos vs. The Vision (Bron Breakker & Bronson Reed)
In the night’s main event, chaos reigned supreme. With no tags required, both teams battled in and out of the ring. Just when The Vision seemed ready to put The Usos away, Roman Reigns made his shocking return. The Tribal Chief decimated Breakker and Reed with a steel chair, allowing The Usos to hit a double Uso Splash for the win. Reigns’ return instantly reshapes the Bloodline storyline heading into Perth.
Winners: The Usos
Seth Rollins and Cody Rhodes Face-Off
Rollins cut a scathing promo about his upcoming Crown Jewel clash with Cody Rhodes. Rhodes interrupted, leading to a heated face-to-face. Neither man backed down, and Rollins refused a handshake. Their showdown on October 11 is shaping up to be one of WWE’s biggest matches of 2025.
