Next week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2025/12/wwe-monday-night-raw-1212025.html 

We are in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Joe Tessitore and Wade Barrett are on commentary.

We see some clips of the Wargames set for Survivor Series.

We see various wrestlers arrive.

Roman Reigns comes out. He says to acknowledge him. Cody Rhodes then comes out. Cody's got a big bruiser over his right eye. He says he acknowledges that Roman is a man of his word. He says the last time he gave him his word it was for a match, but this time it's war. Cody asks what is in this for Roman. 

Roman says he's been in this war and Cody is just now joining. He says they don't like or know each other that well. He says they don't play around when it comes to their family. Roman says half the team is his family and says they were in his Bloodline before they were on this team. He says he's been invested in The Uso's for a long time and he's here to see that investment grow. Cody then says, "Welcome to my team" and offers a handshake. 

CM Punk comes out. He asks if it's great to be alive in OKC or what? Punk says to "acknowledge us". Punk says this is an all-star Wargames. Punk says he doesn't need Roman's word as he figures they are cool. Punk says he saved his life at Wargames last year. Roman says he ruined it 4 months later.

Punk says Roman won't stab him in the back as he would stab his cousins in the back. He says Roman wouldn't be mean to his cousins or put his family in a hard place. Punk tells Cody he can be the quarterback on Friday's, he's the champ here. 

Roman says he doesn't care whose team it is. He says he doesn't life them and says they can all agree that they hate Paul Heyman and The Vision. Roman says that's his word - he hates them more than he hates Punk or Cody. Roman says the title would look better on his shoulder and walks out. Punk asks if he's talking to him or Cody. Roman says it's up to them to figure it out.

The Vision are in the back with Drew McIntyre and Logan Paul. Paul says Drew is still under suspension. He says he could be legally removed from the arena. Logan brings up Brock Lesnar. Heyman says he wants no part of Brock and tells him to let Brock's name come out of his mouth. Logan says Drew's partner is Bron or Reed. Heyman says no. Heyman says Drew is Logan's partner tonight in the Wargames Advantage Match. Logan says it's a wise choice.

The Last Time is Now Tournament Quarterfinals - Gunther vs Carmelo Hayes

Melo hits shots on gun before he's ready. He hits a gut punch flurry in the corner then he chops him. Gun pushes him down. Melo hits shots and Gun shoulders him over. Gun poses on the 2nd rope and is powerbombed down. Melo pumping knees him then blind springboard ddt's him. 

Melo pump kicks and high kicks him. Gun tells him to come on. Melo springboards and is chopped down. Melo chops him down more. We go to break and return.

Melo cradles him for 2 and is chopped down. Melo grabs a sleeper then Gun grabs a sleeper. Melo tries a pin attempt off of it and sleepers him again. Gun backdrops him.

Gun euros him down. They trade and Gun wins the trade. Melo superkicks him out of the corner. Melo goes for a headscissors and is thrown down. Gun double underhook suplexes him for 2. Melo gets on his back with a sleeper. Melo superkicks him out of the corner and is kicked off a springboard. Melo ddt's Gun off a powerbomb attempt.

We go to break and return. Gun blocks a sunset flip. Melo codebreakers him. Melo tries again and is dumped to the apron. Melo high kicks Gun. Gun chops him and goes to the apron with him. Gun chops the post when Melo moves. Melo slingshots and pulls Gun down to the floor. Melo then tope con hilos him.

Melo back body drops him over the timekeeper's rail. Gun pulls him over then Melo tornado ddt's him off the rail. They get in and Melo la mistica bulldogs him. Gun hits a big lariat and a powerbomb for 2. Gun hits downward elbows and a grounded sleeper. Gun powerbombs him and wins.

Thoughts: It was a good bout that got a lot of time. Melo was the big underdog here and wrestled like it while Gun was the big monster. If Melo could get a couple of these in for a few months, he'd be really over. The crowd didn't react as much as they should have but maybe that's not that surprising with how both guys have been used lately.

Punk, Cody and Roman talk in the back. The Uso's come in and says they are getting along like one happy family. Jey says they talked about everything but the Wargames Advantage Match tonight. Jimmy says him and Jey are on the same page and say to let them be in the match tonight. Roman tells Cody and Punk to fix this.

Dominik Mysterio comes out to talk. Dom says he will put an end to Cena's retirement tour in a few days. He says he will embarrass him and take back his IC Title. He says he will take back his title and continue to be the greatest Mysterio of all time. He says Cena's not here.

Cena's music hits and a midget comes out dressed up as Cena with midget camera men. Dom tells Mini Cena he should drop him where he stands for interrupting him. He says he will let him walk away because he has no idea what's coming for him at Survivor Series. Midget Cena says fine speech and says he's the worst Mysterio of all time. He says Cena's lines and Dom boots him over. Dom then does a five knuckle shuffle to him and a 619. Dom then hits a frogsplash off the top.

Rey Mysterio comes out and Dom leaves the ring. The lights then go out and Finn Balor and JD McDonaugh come out for the next match.

JD McDonaugh vs Rey Mysterio

Rey knocks JD down and hits mounted corner punches. Rey monkey flips him. Rey goes for more mounted punches and is pulled down off the buckles. JD tilt-a-whirl backbreakers him. Rey hits forearms and JD legdrops him for 2. JD chinlocks him. Rey crucifixes him for 2 and is lariated.

Finn Balor tries Rey on a 619 attempt. Finn is on the apron and JD is sent into him. Rey 619's him then slingshot splashes him for the win.

Thoughts: It was fine. JD took two head first into the post and into Finn here. It was a little bit rushed but it did what it was supposed to.

Finn chases Rey around after but can't catch him.

We see The Kabuki Warriors twerking in the aisle for some reason, which is going to get some big pops from the IWC. They join Becky Lynch, Nia Jax and Lash Legend to talk in the ring. 

Becky says she's been advised by lawyers not to talk about what happened last week. She says heads will roll and the decision will be overturned. She says AJ made big mistakes coming back and costing her the title. She says getting in the cage with her is the biggest mistake though. 

Becky puts over her team but says Nia isn't as powerful as her. She says Nia is the only woman to damage her face and she didn't have to wear a mask like Rhea. She talks trash about Flair, Bliss and Rhea.

Rhea, Iyo, Flair, Bliss and AJ Lee come out. AJ says the old AJ would have torn Becky's face off by therapy works. She says Becky has insecurity and fear. AJ says she knows who she is and says she doesn't bark but bites. She says Becky lit a fire in her. She says she can let the old AJ out in the cage with her as she can do what she wants to her there.

Penta is thrown over the rail. Penta then jumps off the rail onto Solo and Talla Tonga. We go to break and return. The ref calls for the bell as Penta got hurt on the dive off the rails.

Thoughts: It was a short one that ended due to injury. I won't rate this one. Solo will now fight Gunther in the semi finals which might be fun.

Maxxine Dupri and Adam Pearce talk in the back. Adam says lots of female wrestlers called him as they want to take the title off of her. Dupri says the work is just getting started and she will call Natalya.

Iv Nile comes up to Max with paint around her eyes and says the title is hers. Max then runs into Roxanne Perez and Raquel Rodriguez. RP says she wants to congratulate her but can take the title all away from her. Adam Pearce walks in and asks if they have a problem. The heels leave and Adam tells her she might want to make the call to Natalya now.

Stephanie Vaquer says Nikki Bella is a legend and became her friend. She says she was told not to trust her and Nikki betrayed her. She says she's not as smart as she thinks she is. She says she will pay and says she will see her at Survivor Series.

Wargames Advantage Match - Jimmy and Jey Uso vs Logan Paul and Drew McIntyre

LP side headlocks Jey. LP shoulders him over. LP leapfrogs and is hit with an uppercut palm strike. LP is thrown into the ropes and seemingly goes over the top when he's not supposed to. We go to break and return.

Jey slams LP for 2. LP's legs are split. Jey hits punches on LP. Jey then slams and stomps LP. Jimmy headbutt drops LP for 2. Jey splashes LP in the corner. Jey fights off Drew with punches. Jey is kicked on an up and over. Drew suplexes him. Jey then suplexes Drew.

LP splashes Jey for 2. Jey is sent out and Drew swinging slams him on the commentary table. We go to break and return. Jey takes a double stalling suplex. Drew and LP then kip up together. Jey double boots Drew out of the corner.

Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed come out. CM Punk and Cody Rhodes then come out and fight with them outside. Bron's shirt gets ripped. Jey suicide dives onto all of them. LP then rolls up Jimmy and pins him.

Thoughts: I know I was waiting for the big fight to break out and wasn't shocked when it did. Why did Jey dive on his own partners at the end? The match was just average and Logan really looked messed up for a bit after he got thrown out.

Punk pounds on Logan after and everyone fights. Roman Reigns comes out and nails Reed and Bron. He pulls Logan's throat over the top then throws Drew out. He then superman punches Logan and Drew. The faces then line up together in the ring.

Brock Lesnar's music hits and he comes out with Paul Heyman. Brock Lesnar hilariously slips when his fireworks hit and falls down. The heels line up on the apron and the two sides stare down. Everyone then fights and the show ends.

Thoughts: Brock slipping was hilarious. Brock is barely ever on TV yet something bad happens every time lately (he ripped his pants on TV a few months ago)

Overall thoughts: Survivor Series is this weekend so we weren't getting a lot of big moments here. Gunther vs Melo was a good big man vs underdog match. JD/Rey was fine. Penta got injured against Solo and that had to be stopped and the main was average before it broke down into an inevitable fight. I'd give this a low 6 out of 10 as it was basically a filler show.
