This week’s episode of WWE Raw deals with the aftermath of a controversial Survivor Series. Emotions are high, new rivalries are taking shape, and the road to John Cena’s final match is becoming clearer. From shocking character shifts to title chaos in the women’s division, Raw felt like a reset button with consequences.
A New Side of Jey Uso
Jey Uso vs. LA Knight – Tournament Semifinal
Jey Uso and LA Knight clashed in the semifinals of the “Last Time Is Now” tournament. Knight secured the victory, but the real story came afterward. Uso completely snapped.
He slammed his head into the announce table, tossed equipment around, and showed a level of frustration fans aren’t used to seeing. This intensity stood in sharp contrast to his lighter, crowd-pleasing moments at WarGames, making this loss feel like a turning point rather than just another defeat.
Something clearly changed in Jey Uso—and it doesn’t feel temporary.
Natalya’s Evolution Begins
Training at the Dungeon
A vignette aired showing Maxxine Dupri training under Natalya in what appeared to be the Hart Dungeon. The focus was on discipline, repetition, and toughness—no flash, just work.
More importantly, this segment introduced a refined version of Natalya’s character. Since recommitting to WWE and embracing outside opportunities, she’s developed a more grounded, authentic presence. Seeing that version finally make it to television felt overdue—and effective.
Gunther Advances Toward the Finals
Gunther vs. Solo Sikoa
Gunther defeated Solo Sikoa as expected, advancing to the finals of the tournament. LA Knight appeared afterward, and the tension between the two made the stakes crystal clear.
With John Cena’s final match less than two weeks away, both men have strong claims. Knight needs the momentum badly, while Gunther feels like the inevitable choice. A win over Cena would fit perfectly into his dominant legacy—especially after already ending another legend’s career earlier this year.
Either way, the final matchup feels massive.
Bron Breakker Calls His Shot
Targeting the World Heavyweight Championship
Fresh off their WarGames victory, The Vision took to the ring to celebrate defeating some of WWE’s biggest names. Paul Heyman praised the group—until Bron Breakker interrupted and turned the segment into chaos.
Breakker tore into everyone, dismissing CM Punk and questioning his toughness before demanding a World Heavyweight Championship match. He officially called his shot for the January 5 episode of Raw, making it clear he’s done waiting and ready to take over.
This wasn’t confidence—it was a declaration.
Women’s Tag Team Chaos
Flair & Bliss vs. RHIYO
After WarGames, unresolved tension in the women’s tag division came to a head. Alexa Bliss and Charlotte Flair argued they deserved a title opportunity, while RHIYO shut that down, insisting Flair and Bliss hadn’t earned it.
Their disagreement led to the main event, which quickly spiraled into chaos. The Kabuki Warriors caused a disqualification, attacked everyone in sight, and triggered a full-scale breakdown.
Lyra Valkyria and Bayley rushed in to help—but that only brought more trouble.
Judgment Day Makes a Statement
Liv Morgan’s Message
Judgment Day hit the ring, and suddenly the situation went from chaotic to dangerous. Rodriguez, Perez, and Morgan cleared the ring and stood tall.
When Perez tried to hand Morgan one of the tag titles, Morgan refused. Instead, she raised both teammates’ hands, making it clear this wasn’t about individual glory—it was about dominance as a unit.
With nearly every team gunning for the titles, the women’s tag division feels more volatile than ever.
