New Day defended the tag titles against Judgment Day. Sami Zayn and Penta looked to stop Seth Rollins’ faction. Sheamus battled Rusev and much more. Let’s delve into the details of WWE RAW June 30 Results.
Welcome to Monday Night Mami
The show kicked off with Rhea Ripley as announced earlier by Adam Pearce. Ripley welcomed everyone to Monday Night Mami. She said that she’s over the Judgment Day now and wanted to get back on top of the women’s division at WWE Evolution 2025. Iyo Sky, the Women’s World Champion, interrupted. The crowd gave a good reception to Genius of the Sky. Sky said that Evolution can’t be done without her.
Iyo said that RAW GM has given her the option to choose her opponent at Evolution. She said that she wanted to defend against the best and by the best, she meant Rhea Ripley. The crowd loved it. Ripley said that she has respect for Sky, but what happens at Evolution is Sky’s choice because she’d do anything to get the title back. Iyo raised the title as the segment came to a close.
Grades: B-
Analysis: It was a fun segment to kick off Monday Night RAW. Iyo Sky and Rhea Ripley were expected to be clashing, and they will go at it at Evolution PLE on July 13. It will be awesome for both competitors, and we also have a certified banger ahead.
Backstage

Styles won’t get a title shot if he attacks Mysterio. AJ called Mysterio a punk ass and left. Dominik called Styles an old man which angered the Phenomenal One. Styles returned but Mysterio held up the note paper and walked away.

Winner: The Judgment Day (Finn Balor and JD McDonagh)
Grades: B+
Analysis: Wow! It was an excellent tag team match. The Judgment Day received a great reaction from the crowd. Balor and McDonagh are the new World Tag Team Championships. Liv Morgan is gone, and they are giving something to Judgment Day to make them long strong.
Backstage
Nick Aldis and Adam Pearce were discussing the future of women’s tag team championships. Finn Balor and JD McDonagh walked up to them. Balor proposed the idea of not stripping Raquel of the title because she had worked hard. Finn suggested adding Roxanne Perez as her partner. Aldis and Pearce agreed but on one condition. Raquel and Roxanne will prove themselves as they defend the women’s tag team championships at WWE Evolution 2025 against one team from each brand, RAW, SmackDown, and NXT.
Sheamus vs Rusev
The bell rang, and the two men traded heavy blows. Both went for a clothesline but absorbed and stood their ground. Rusev exploded with a powerful clothesline, and Sheamus replied with a short-arm clothesline. Sheamus went for the Ten Beats of the Bodhrán, but Rusev countered with a powerbomb. The action spilled to the outside where Sheamus caught Rusev with a powerslam on the floor.
Rusev delivered the snapmare and applied the rear chin lock. Sheamus got fired up by Rusev’s heavy strikes. Sheamus hit two Irish Hammers and the Irish Curse Backbreaker.

Sheamus barely escaped and connected with a Brogue Kick at ringside. The referee began the count, and they returned to the ring at 9.

Winner: Rusev
Grades: B+
Analysis: It was a solid match with two hard hitters. This was a banger, and we won’t mind a series of explosive matches. WWE should continue this feud as it will give both men some TV time.
Backstage
American Made was backstage. El Grande Americano appeared, and it wasn’t Chad Gable. It looked like Ludwig Kaiser under that mask. American Made was stunned as well. In another shot, Karrion Kross attacked Sami Zayn with a steel pipe. WWE Officials prevented Kross from further attack as Scarlett looked pleased.
Gunther addressed Goldberg
The World Heavyweight Champion Gunther walked down to the ring. He said that he can end Goldberg in under three minutes and he’s not afraid of what’s left of the 58-year-old star. However, Gunther said he’d take this slower at Saturday Night’s Main Event and would tear apart Goldberg. Gunther called himself the biggest bully and aimed to bully and beat the crap out of Goldberg. The Ring General then attended to what would come his way after Goldberg.
Seth Rollins interrupted alongside Paul Heyman. Rollins congratulated Gunther who posed with the title. Seth said that they didn’t go to WWE Night Of Champions 2025 to cash in on John Cena, he just didn’t want CM Punk to be a world champion. Rollins said that the Money In The Bank contract would be an all-out assault on both world champions.
CM Punk walked down the ramp in a fury. He attacked Seth who bailed out through the crowd. Gunther grabbed Punk but the Best in the World shoved him. As Rollins was escaping, LA Knight attacked him. Rollins spilled a drink on Knight’s face and escaped.
Grades: B
Analysis: It was a strong segment for future storylines. Gunther is single-handedly controlling the story of his match as Goldberg is nowhere to be seen. Rollins and Punk’s hatred would never end. LA Knight is a new roadblock in front of Rollins.
Judgment Day’s Clubhouse
Judgment Day celebrated in the clubhouse, all dripping in gold. Rodriguez wasn’t happy about Liv getting replaced by Roxanne so early. Balor said that they need to stay on top. Finn proposed to make Perez a permanent part of the Judgment Day. Balor and JD agreed, and Dominik and Raquel reluctantly agreed too. Perez was happy to be a part of the group. She said that she’d take care of Kairi Sane who injured Liv Morgan.
Bayley vs Lyra Valkyria
The winner of this match will become the No. 1 Contender for Becky Lynch’s WWE Women’s Intercontinental Championship. The two competitors exchanged takedowns and shoulder tackles. Valkyria hit a wheelbarrow arm drag. Bayley responded with a diving arm drag and a basement clothesline. Bayley applied a Boston Crab. Valkyria countered into a roll-up for a two-count. Both women delivered simultaneous running cross-body blocks.
Bayley landed a superplex followed up with two clotheslines and a back suplex. Valkyria connected with a swinging neckbreaker for a near fall. Bayley countered a tornado DDT with a sunset flip bomb into the corner for a two-count again. Valkyria bounced back with a gutwrench sit-out powerbomb. In the end, they traded near falls until both of their shoulders were down.
The referee counted to three. The double pin allowed the referee to end the match in a draw. Visibly furious, both Bayley and Valkyria brawled out of the ring and into the crowd. Security and WWE officials rushed in to break them apart.
Result: Draw due to double pin.
Grades: B
Analysis: It was a decent match with two good performers. The draw ending will likely end in a triple-way feud for Becky Lynch’s IC Title. It would be interesting to see. The women’s IC Championship has surely become more prestigious.
Penta and Sami Zayn vs Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed
The match kicked off with Penta squaring off against Breakker. Bron dominated Penta in the early minutes before Penta landed a head-scissor takeover and a running hurricanrana. Sami tagged in, but Breakker quickly took advantage of his injured ribs. Breakker landed a high-speed clothesline. Together, Zayn and Penta sent Breakker and Reed to the outside and landed stereo somersault planchas.
Penta delivered a step-up enzuigiri to Reed. The big man did not sell two clotheslines but still Zayn sent him out with another clothesline. With Breakker outside too, Zayn landed an Arabian Press before paying an homage to the late Sabu. Back in the ring, Zayn hit a sunset flip powerbomb off the ropes for a near fall. Reed delivered Death Valley Driver and Breakker landed a massive clothesline that sent Zayn crashing over the commentary table!
Zayn hit a backbody drop on Breakker and tagged in Penta. The Mexican star came in with a flurry of moves and snapped Breakker’s arm with the Sacrifice. Breakker avoided the Penta Driver, but Penta quickly delivered a satellite DDT for a two-count. Heyman distracted the referee. Breakker landed a Frankensteiner followed by Reed’s sit-out powerbomb on Penta. Sami saved the match for his team.

Winners: Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed
Grades: B+
Analysis: It was an amazing match in the main event. Reed and Breakker needed the win, and they got it. Sami Zayn’s rib injury made it easy for them. Jey Uso is back for vengeance on Seth Rollins’ faction.
