WWE Raw results: Kairi Sane scores a win over Raquel Rodriguez after beating Liv Morgan last week
From the start, Sane was not intimidated by Rodriguez's size. She countered early power moves with speed and precision, delivering a headscissors takedown and a sharp bulldog. Rodriguez responded with big slams and clotheslines, and just when Sane had built momentum, Liv Morgan made her presence felt with a cheap shot outside the ring.

Despite the interference, Sane stayed focused. She fired back with stiff strikes and a running blockbuster. Morgan tried again to tilt the match, but that brought out Iyo Sky. The Women's World Champion took out Morgan, allowing Kairi to blast Rodriguez's head into the post. One Insane Elbow later, the referee counted the three.
After the match, Morgan was left bleeding from the forehead and checking on Rodriguez, while Kairi embraced IYO in celebration. These back-to-back wins are more than just singles victories. They highlight the growing issues inside Judgment Day.
Roxanne Perez's rise within the faction is causing a divide. Liv Morgan already questioned Finn Balor's role, and the group feels more unstable with every episode. While Morgan insisted she would be in Raquel's corner, it did little to help. Meanwhile, Kairi's quiet momentum has become impossible to ignore.
With Iyo Sky backing her and Judgment Day cracking under pressure, Kairi Sane's path forward looks dangerous for anyone in her way.

CM Punk, Rhea Ripley reveal chaos behind the scenes in Netflix's WWE: Unreal docuseries
What really happens before a WWE superstar steps into the ring? The new Netflix docuseries, WWE: Unreal, pulls back the curtain on the wild world of professional wrestling, featuring never-before-seen moments, creative chaos, and emotional truths from stars like CM Punk and Rhea Ripley. The show will premiere on July 29. Narrated by WWE Chief Content Officer Paul 'Triple H' Levesque, the five-episode series explores the creative pipeline that powers Monday Night Raw and Friday Night SmackDown, from WWE headquarters in Connecticut to the global stage. CM Punk, who returned to WWE in 2023 after nearly a decade away, told E Online that the show will reveal how a single idea can snowball into a headline-grabbing story. He told the publication that fans will learn the seed of an idea and the genesis of how it all 'goes from headquarters to on the road'. Rhea Ripley added that fans will witness how storylines take shape in closed-door meetings and how creative direction often shifts mid-show due to injuries, audience reactions, or last-minute changes. 'Things can change on the fly. They happen all the time,' said Ripley. Ripley, who vacated her Women's World Championship in April 2024 due to a shoulder injury, knows firsthand how unpredictable wrestling can be. She said, 'You are always stressed going out there. Things do go wrong.' CM Punk, echoing the sentiment, explained that his preparation routine changes depending on whether he is wrestling. He said that if he is wrestling, he will not deadlift the morning of a match. Despite their larger-than-life personas, even the top stars feel nervous before going live, stated another report in Netflix's . Ripley was quoted saying that it is a normal, human thing. She said she listens to music to channel her fierce alter ego, The Eradicator. 'Also, Triple H might give me a pep talk before I go out, that always helps,' she added. The show also spotlights heartfelt farewells, like John Cena getting ready to retire after over 20 years in WWE. Punk says he partly regrets leaving when he did, but it feels better to be back and work with Cena one last time. Punk, according to Tudum, also talked about a storyline that got canned but still gets him thinking; he was once in the running to play Vince McMahon's son from an affair. Punk says he does not want that to be reality, but he wonders how it would have played out. WWE: Unreal is just one of many sports documentaries on Netflix that give you a look behind the scenes, like Quarterback and Starting 5. Whether you have been watching WWE for years or are just starting out, Unreal is supposed to show you the actual drama behind all the staged craziness. Rhea Ripley is married to fellow WWE superstar Buddy Matthews (formerly Buddy Murphy). CM Punk's '31' tattoo refers to his younger sister's soccer jersey number. Rhea Ripley and Buddy Matthews have been married since June 2024.

Chokeholds to Championships
Like many boys of his generation, Varun Sanyal spent his childhood watching World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE). The world of scripted smackdowns and oversized showmen was magnetic to a young mind growing up in Singapore. It was watching Indian wrestlers like Sushil Kumar and Yogeshwar Dutt succeed at the 2012 Olympics sparked something deeper in Varun. 'They looked like us. From India. Doing well in a global sport. That changed something for me,' he says. He wanted in. But his father didn't want him to go. Combat sports were out of the question. So Varun waited. Years later, in Singapore's mandatory National Service, he was earning his own money. With a small but steady income, he made a decision: he paid for a full year of combat sports training upfront. 'If I was going to take this leap, I wasn't going to do it half-in, half-out.'
