WWE Raw results, highlights (July 28): Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed destroy Roman Reigns, Jey Uso
The go-home edition of "WWE Raw" before SummerSlam burned the house down in Detroit with some unexpectedly creative angles and matches. That's not to say we didn't encounter some of the typical weekly nonsense, but this was as good as it gets for a weekly offering on a Monday night. Bookended by bollocks I can't be the only one who feels like Jey Uso's realignment with Roman Reigns is one of the bigger revisions of history in recent memory. At least that's how Uso's typical, sweaty, winded promo came off as he failed to counter Paul Heyman, laying out the truth about The Bloodline's history and how Reigns treated him. It's remarkable how Seth Rollins' justified reasoning for "heel" work over the past year has quickly permeated Heyman's character. The more you peel back this onion, these guys really are more anti-heroes than they're supposed to be, or are portrayed. Honestly, the whole segment was ramble-heavy from both men, but was an appetizer for the most obviously predictable DQ main event imaginable: Uso vs. Bronson Reed. The match was pretty solid until Bron Breakker just ran out to spear Uso and force Uso's DQ win. Seriously, what's even the point, man? Not just with these consistent, stupid DQ endings, but specifically with Rollins' crew, who evidently don't care about winning matches whatsoever unless implications are on the line. Why wouldn't Breakker just attack immediately? There's zero logic behind him waiting and giving his man a chance to lose or take damage. It's dumb, and I'm becoming a broken record at this point. Reigns predictably made the save, as he was advertised for the show and wasn't seen once until the match started. It was just a tease for the SummerSlam tag team match, closing with Breakker looking like a monster when he hit a double spear through the barricade. However, let's address a different problem that has come from the Rollins injury fallout. Missing man LA Knight has been completely screwed. He's gone. Where is he? Since Knight got essentially buried in the World Heavyweight Championship contender gauntlet match after Saturday Night's Main Event, he's been off television. Rumor has it that he was lined up for a big rematch against Rollins at SummerSlam to get his redemption. So, first of all, seeing his absence should debunk any conspiracies about the legitimacy of Rollins' injury and a surprise SummerSlam cash-in. If that ends up happening, and Knight is just diverged away from with that plan, I don't know how he doesn't walk out of the company from what would be a complete and utter mishandling. Even as we stand now, not having Knight on TV at all is mishandling of the highest order. Sure, it's not his fault that things have unfolded this way, but man. How do you leave one of the most over acts on your roster off TV when they heated up so much after you booked them pretty damn well? All hope — at least for SummerSlam — appears lost for the "Megastar." The start and the end of this "Raw" were mostly all that was bad about it, though. Let's get into all the good that was the rest of the show. 👑 Uncrowned Gem of the Night 👑 I am so wildly impressed and satisfied with the level of creativity we saw in the first match on this "Raw." This is what happens when Triple H tries. We get the Uncrowned Gem of the Night, this time in the form of AJ Styles and The Kabuki Warriors vs. The Judgement Day's Dominick Mysterio, Roxanne Perez and Raquel Rodriguez. Mixed tag team matches are always somewhat of a tricky area to navigate, but this was a first. One male with two female teammates is something I can't recall. At least not recently. The dynamic of having the genders only able to go against each other makes this a puzzle, but this was handled surprisingly well, and all built to get Styles tagged in for a massive pop when he got his hands on Mysterio. After that, there was even some creative trios offense to finish the match, when Styles absolutely launched Kairi Sane over the ropes into Rodriguez. He followed it with the Phenomenal Forearm on Mysterio to get the win. It was far from the best match you'll ever see due to the restrictions, but with those in place, it was pretty damn perfect. This was fun and worked so, so well. 😅 Miscalculation of the Night Taking Lyra Valkyria seriously with her big, silly shoes on was going to be impossible until she addressed them as her "Becky Stompers." I laughed. Overall, she delivered a good promo before it descended into silliness when Becky Lynch's music hit. Lynch never appeared, which made it obvious she would do a sneak attack. But instead, Lynch just kind of bumbled around by the apron with a kendo stick before Valkyria used her spidey senses to detect Lynch and run the ropes to kick her in the head. Then Lynch just took a plethora of shots from the kendo stick without any defense, as she watched them all come her way. Listen, this was undeniably hilarious, but I'm not sure it was bad. It didn't make Valkyria look dumb, like it trended towards. It was actually quite the opposite because Lynch just decided to hang out near the ring. It wasn't good, but I don't know. The feud has obviously been exhausted, and the trilogy title match will be great. 👍 MONDAY NIGHT MONEY 👍 1. WWE opened "Raw" with another tribute to Hulk Hogan, as it was the first Monday show since the legend's passing. Rather than just repeating the one from Friday on "SmackDown," this was a different, and equally great highlight video. The Detroit crowd also seemed much more receptive with its cheers than the Cleveland crowd was. 2. Sheamus defeated Grayson Waller with the Brogue Kick in a fine match. It wasn't quite a squash, but it wasn't that competitive either. Ultimately, it was a vehicle to continue the Sheamus-Rusev, as Rusev tried to cost Sheamus the win but failed before attacking afterward. If interference is going to happen, do it this way. There was no need for shenanigans to ruin that match of all matches, anyway. A Sheamus-Rusev best-of-seven works for me. 3. In Rollins' absence, it looks like Breakker is starting to take over in that leader role of the group. He suddenly isn't a barking bozo henchman anymore, and that's great to see. He already feels legit acting as a leader. 4. After the lackluster Sami Zayn vs. Karrion Kross rematch, the pair delivered a phenomenal backstage interview segment with Kross continuing to tease Zayn to show his true colors. These guys are so great together that it almost feels like they should have a never-ending thing going similar to Rollins and Punk. Regardless, hopefully, we get an epic — brief — conclusion at SummerSlam. 5. I'm not really sure what to make of Bayley's admission of directionlessness. It's hard to imagine she won't play some part in Lynch vs. Valkyria, but if we didn't know better, this felt like a pre-departure promo. Ultimately, Bayley's emotion was palpable through the screen, leaving us with intrigue about what was next. 6. Stephanie Vaquer hit the SVB on Chelsea Green (with The Secret Hervice and Naomi) to get the win for her team, including Rhea Ripley, Iyo Sky and Nikki Bella. This was essentially an all-stars vs. the champion and modern-day J.O.B. Squad match. There was zero chance of Naomi's team winning, but an easy element to play off of would have been the fact that Ripley, Sky and Vaquer are all enemies within the title scene. It didn't matter, though. The match was surprisingly good and had some great spots, like Piper Niven taking out Sky and Bella after doing Sky's taunt. That led to her facing off with Ripley before the finish. More than anything, this was yet another big Vaquer showcase, as her hot tag led to her taking out all four of her opponents. She's being set up so perfectly as a future long-reigning champion. It doesn't matter who comes out of SummerSlam as the Women's World Champion. The winner is keeping that belt warm until Clash In Paris. I'm thoroughly convinced. One little closer note, it was nice to see Naomi not act like a coward champion when she started the match against Ripley. 🤷 IT HAPPENED 🤷 1. The Judgment Day defended their World Tag Team titles against LWO. It was a stellar match, as expected, but was way more overbooked than anticipated and unnecessary. El Grande "Amerikaiser" ran to the ring purely to get into it with Dragon Lee before another masked man cost LWO the match. As much as I love Ludwig Kaiser, Chad Gable's injury really dampened the silly nature of the Americano character, and it's just "meh" with Kaiser under the mask. It doesn't help that he could be doing better things as himself. 2. Gunther and CM Punk had another promo battle. Before it started, I couldn't help but think about how awfully booked Gunther has been since WrestleMania 41. He doesn't even wrestle on "Raw" anymore. Anyway, the promo battle was good and intense, but something stuck out that didn't quite land. Punk essentially ripped off Eddie Guerrero's classic "addicted" promo on Brock Lesnar. Why this didn't work was because of where they were in their careers at the time of delivery. Guerrero had yet to be a world champion, whereas Punk has literally been there and done that. He doesn't need to be a champion at all, and his current run has proven that, yet that's what he declared in the face of Gunther. 👑 "SmackDown" is getting the short end of the booking stick lately because "Raw" seems to have more of the consistent goods, and this show was no exception. I give this "Raw" a Crown score of: 9/10. 👑

WWE Raw Results, Winners And Grades On July 28, 2025
An eight-woman all-star tag team match advertised for WWE Raw. WWE Raw advertised a main event of Jey Uso vs. Bronson Reed, an Eight-Woman All-Star tag team match, the Judgment Day vs. LWO and an appearance by the Tribal Chief Roman Reigns. WWE Raw Results On July 28, 2025 WWE Raw Ticket Sales WWE Raw Highlights, Winners And Grades Hulk Hogan Tribute, Paul Heyman And Jey Uso Face Off During a 10-bell salute, and after a new Hulk Hogan tribute, Nick Hogan was front-and-center on the Raw stage as Hogan got another rousing ovation. Corey Graves had the best Yeet pun for a city, calling Detroit 'Yeetroit Rock City.' Paul Heyman cut a long promo about how family cannot be trusted because they all lie. Unless, of course, that family is part of his Jewish tribe. The most egregious thing that Heyman did in this segment was interrupt Jey Uso's Yeet encore. Jey Uso fired back at Heyman by reminding him of all the people he proved wrong to win the world title. Jey blamed Heyman's goons for costing him the world title, but he actually lost that match clean. AJ Styles And The Kabuki Warriors Def. The Judgment Day Michael Cole has gone into overdrive while talking about Dominik Mysterio's cheating ways. He's talking like Mysterio already abandoned Liv Morgan, calling Dominik 'Romeo' to Roxanne's 'Juliet.' AJ and Kairi Sane had a great spot where he vaulted her to the outside, landing a perfect flying elbow on Raquel Rodriguez. Styles won the match with a Phenomenal Forearm and a clean pin on Dom. Does this mean Dominik Mysterio retains at SummerSlam? Sheamus Def. Grayson Waller Grayson Waller's alliance with the New Day and his split with Austin Theory both have one thing in common: They both went unexplained. Sheamus beat Waller despite outside interference from Rusev, but Rusev immediately got the better of Sheamus with help from a Shillelagh. Rusev got a lot of heat for raining on Sheamus' parade, and their rubber match is setting up to be 'Shillelagh on a Pole.' Lyra Valkyria Faces Off With Becky Lynch Lyra screwed up her opening line in reference to SummerSlam by saying '…in two weeks…" Fans are still booing Lyra and treating Becky Lynch as the babyface. They are also giving Valkyria the 'What' treatment. WWE really needs to rethink Bayley's seemingly inevitable heel turn. Becky Lynch hit the ring, but Lyra absconded her kendo stick. Lyra beat the hell out of Lunch with the stick to a mixture of cheers and boos, and Becky ran off. Backstage, Karrion Kross added a stipulation to his SummerSlam match against Sami Zayn. If Kross wins, Sami has to say 'Kross told the truth.' Kross is WWE's Brian Pillman, and this is his version of 'I respect you, booker man!' Babyfaces Win Eight Woman All-Star Tag Team Match Nikki Bella took a beating to start this match, including a sick bottom-rope elbow drop from Piper Niven. Surprisingly, this match outlasted the entrances. Of course, fans exploded when Vaquer went for the Devil's Kiss, but the married and vanilla announce team refused to participate in counting along. I miss Booker T. Nikki Bella and Iyo Sky performed Iyo's signature taunt to a huge reaction. They were both taken out by Piper Niven, who mocked Iyo's taunt. Niven took a Riptide for her troubles. Vaquer hit cleanup by hitting an SVB on Chelsea Green for the win. The Judgment Day Vs. LWO Cruz Del Toro lit this match on fire with a coast-to-coast on JD McDonagh while McDonagh was hanging upside down. Fans chanted 'This is awesome!' One of these days, the LWO's crowd reactions will catch up to their talent. Part of that equation is telling their story and giving fans a reason to care. El Extra Grande Americano distracted the referee, only to be attacked byDragon Lee. A second El Grande Americano (in a sweatsuit) crotched Del Toro, costing him the Tag Team Titles. The streets say this new masked man is Pete Dunne. CM Punk Confronts Gunther Fans chanted 'CM Punk' over Gunther's entire promo as he bragged about getting a clean win over Punk in a promo. Punk interrupted, saying he wasn't speechless but he was dumbfounded. Punk doesn't want to be world heavyweight champion, he needs to be world heavyweight champion. Punk worked Detroit into a froth talking about how much he needs to be world champion. Punk said he doesn't deserve to call himself the best in the world, he earned that right. Punk, who stifled Gunther's attempt at an interruption, said Gunther would feel what it's like to be in the ring with the best in the world. Now Gunther was dumbfounded. Jey Uso Def. Bronson Reed By DQ Seth Rollins name was bandied about throughout Raw, both by Paul Heyman and then multiple times by the announce team during this match. The main event ended prematurely when Bron Breakker enacted his plan by crashing the ring and bludgeoning Jey Uso. As Breakker and Reed beat down Uso, Roman Reigns made the save and cleaned house. Roman and Jey ran around the ring in stereo, but both Reed and Breakker cut them off simultaneously. Breakker ended Jey Uso with another wicked spear as Corey Graves insisted this was the plan. Reed added insult (and injury) to injury with a Tsunami. Breakker hit a table clothesline as the heels stood tall. Breakker re-appropriated a famous Reigns promo when he said the fans, the cameraman and the entire company works for him. He polished the babyfaces off with a double spear through a barricade.

WWE Announces Massive SummerSlam Match
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. A massive tag team match has been made official for WWE SummerSlam. Following a chaotic brawl on Monday Night Raw, Roman Reigns will team with his cousin, Jey Uso, to take on the powerhouse duo of Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed. The match was made official through a series of social media posts, culminating in Paul Heyman accepting the challenge on behalf of his clients via a TMZ article. This bout adds a deeply personal story of family and betrayal to the already stacked SummerSlam card. The Challenge Is Made Official The conflict ignited on the July 21st episode of Monday Night Raw. After a heated in-ring confrontation between Roman Reigns and his former manager, Paul Heyman, Breakker and Reed attacked Reigns. Jey Uso then rushed to the ring to save his cousin, leading to a massive brawl that ended with Reigns and Uso standing tall. Following the show, Reigns took to social media to issue a challenge for a tag team match at SummerSlam. Jey Uso quickly accepted, and Heyman, speaking to TMZ, made the match official, telling Reigns to pick which night of the two-night event he wants the match on. A Family Reunited Against A Common Enemy The reunion of Roman Reigns and Jey Uso is a shocking and emotional development in a story that has spanned years. For much of his historic championship reign, Reigns was a tyrannical "Tribal Chief" who tormented and manipulated his cousin. This led to Jey Uso being the first to break away from The Bloodline, sparking a "civil war" that saw them face each other in a brutal "Tribal Combat" match at SummerSlam 2023.

Roman Reigns Breaks Character After WWE Raw
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Roman Reigns and Jey Uso shared a special, character-breaking moment after the July 21st episode of Monday Night Raw went off the air. The two cousins, who have a long and violent on-screen history, came together for a lighthearted celebration with the live crowd in a non-televised segment. The moment quickly went viral on social media. It showed a side of "The Tribal Chief" that fans rarely get to see. OTC just hit the YEET! 🙌 — WWE (@WWE) July 22, 2025 "The Tribal Chief" Starts "Yeeting" After the broadcast ended, Jey Uso was in the ring doing his signature "YEET!" celebration with the fans in attendance. He then noticed Roman Reigns looking on from the corner and encouraged his cousin to join him. Although Reigns looked hesitant at first, he eventually smiled and climbed to the middle rope. He then joined Jey in the "YEET!" chant, drawing a massive ovation from the surprised and delighted crowd. After the celebration, the two shared a hug before leaving the ring. The moment was a huge hit online. Reigns himself responded to the viral video on Instagram with a humorous, one-line caption, joking, "Definitely A.I.!" ORLANDO, FLORIDA - AUGUST 16: Roman Reigns makes his entrance during WWE Friday Night SmackDown on Fox at Kia Center on August 16, 2024 in Orlando, Florida. ORLANDO, FLORIDA - AUGUST 16: Roman Reigns makes his entrance during WWE Friday Night SmackDown on Fox at Kia Center on August 16, 2024 in Orlando, Florida. WWE/Getty Images A Long And Complicated History The off-air moment was especially significant for fans who have followed the complex, multi-year story between Roman Reigns and Jey Uso. Their on-screen relationship has been the central pillar of the entire Bloodline saga, seeing them go from bitter rivals in a classic "I Quit" Hell in a Cell match to Jey reluctantly serving as Roman's "Right Hand Man." More news: WWE News: Steve Austin Reveals Real-Life Vince McMahon Confrontation Their story eventually led to Jey being the first to stand up to Roman, sparking the Bloodline Civil War in 2023. This culminated in a deeply personal "Tribal Combat" match at SummerSlam that year. Their history is filled with emotional and physical turmoil, which is why seeing them share a genuinely happy moment, even in a non-canon setting, was so special for the live audience. A Tale Of Two Paths The post-show segment was a fun break from their current, very different on-screen trajectories. Since breaking away from The Bloodline, "Main Event" Jey Uso has become one of the most popular babyfaces on the Raw roster, with his "YEET!" catchphrase becoming a phenomenon. Roman Reigns, meanwhile, made his own shocking return at Night of Champions in June after a multi-month hiatus. He has re-established himself as the dominant, serious "Tribal Chief" and is currently locked in a feud with John Cena, heading towards a blockbuster main event at SummerSlam. While their on-screen paths may not be aligned, the dark segment was a reminder of the real-life family bond that has made their storyline so compelling.
