WWE 'Raw' Live Results: 'Evolution 2025' Looms, Seth Rollins Continues Quest for Power

WWE ‘Raw’ Live Results: ‘Evolution 2025’ Looms, Seth Rollins Continues Quest for Power originally appeared on Athlon Sports.

With the holidays now behind us, it’s time for Monday’s episode of WWE “Raw.”

The stars of the red brand will make one final push before the WWE “Evolution” PLE, which will be taking place on Sunday. WWE Women’s World Champion Iyo Sky and Rhea Ripley are expected to appear before their title match. Sky was the one who issued the challenge despite being the top female titleholder on “Monday Night Raw.”

One half of the WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions, Roxanne Perez, will also be featured on Sunday’s PLE. She’ll team with her fellow Judgment Day member Raquel Rodriguez in a title defense against Alexa Bliss and Charlotte Flair and two teams to be determined. As for Monday, Perez will go toe-to-toe with Kairi Sane.

We’ll also see former WWE World Heavyweight Champion Jey Uso go one-on-one with Bronson Reed, who is a member of a Paul Heyman-led faction that includes Seth Rollins and Bron Breakker. Uso’s former Bloodline member Sami Zayn will share the ring with Breakker.

As for Rollins, the MITB briefcase holder has some business to settle with Penta. Rollins is none too pleased that the Mexican star foiled his plan to cash in during the John Cena vs. CM Punk match at “Night of Champions.” Penta continues to fight alongside Uso, Zayn, and Punk against Rollins’ stable. Rollins and Penta will be in singles action.

WWE “Raw” will air live on the Netflix streaming service at 8 p.m. ET. Athlon Sports will be providing live coverage of the show.
