WWE Raw Results 9/29 - IYO SKY & Rhea Ripley Appear, Intercontinental Championship On The Line

Welcome to Wrestling Inc.'s live coverage for "WWE Raw" on September 29, 2025, coming to you live from the Lenovo Center in Raleigh, North Carolina at a special start time of 7 PM ET!

After Rhea Ripley defeated Asuka in the main event of last Monday's episode of "Raw", Asuka and her Kabuki Warriors tag team partner Kairi Sane launched an attack on Ripley until IYO SKY came to her aid. While it looked momentarily like the growing tensions between SKY, Asuka, and Sane had been quelled when the former two women seemingly made up, that was proven not to be the case when Asuka and Sane blindsided SKY with another attack. Following such, SKY and Ripley are both set to appear on tonight's show with something on their minds to share.

Dominik Mysterio will be putting the Intercontinental Championship on the line for the first time since retaining against AJ Styles on the September 1 edition of "Raw" as he defends against Rusev. Rusev has made it clear that he's had his eyes on the Judgment Day member's championship over the past couple of weeks as cracks in the relationship between Dominik and his stablemate Finn Balor have continued forming.

Jey Uso will be joining forces with his twin brother Jimmy Uso once again tonight as they collide with The Vision's Bronson Reed and Bron Breakker in a Tornado Tag Team Match. The issues between all four men appear to not be halting anytime soon and have been well documented over the course of the past several weeks, with Reed and Breakker holding a win over Jey and Jimmy from WWE Wrestlepalooza on September 20 with LA Knight having served as special guest referee.

Additionally, Bayley will be going head-to-head with Raquel Rodriguez after she scored a win over Rodriguez's Judgment Day stablemate Roxanne Perez last Monday as questions about her current mindset and allegiance to Lyra Valkyria continue to lurk. AJ Styles and Dragon Lee will also be teaming up with one another to take on Los Americanos.

We are live! Wade Barrett and Joe Tessitore greet audiences at home before throwing it to a video of Asuka and Kairi Sane's betrayal of IYO SKY last week.

Rhea Ripley then makes her way to the ring.

Ripley wastes no time in addressing Asuka and Sane, then says she always knew it would come to this but she thought they may be able to settle in the ring. She says what they did to SKY last week crossed the line, then recalls Asuka and Sane calling SKY family and says they're going to settle things in the ring tonight. She tells Asuka and Sane to come and get her.

SKY's music hits and she makes her way to the ring. She tells Ripley that it breaks her heart to admit Ripley was right about Asuka and Sane. SKY tells Ripley that she still loves them, but the lights go out and Asuka and Sane appear on the Titan Tron.

Asuka says she taught SKY everything she knows and mentored her, then says SKY is acting like none of what Asuka did actually matters. She says she made SKY who she is and became a Women's World Champion because of her, but SKY tried to forget about her. She demands that SKY apologize to her and be more like Sane, then says Sane and SKY could both be her students again.

Sane says that she, Asuka, and SKY could be a family again, and Asuka adds that it's too late for Ripley. Ripley tells SKY that she has to trust her, then says she can't go back to Asuka and Sane. SKY tells Ripley she's sorry and says she needs time, then heads to the back.

Asuka and Sane blindside Ripley from behind and beat her down, capturing SKY's attention. SKY runs back to the ring and pulls Asuka off of Ripley, and Sane begs SKY not to do this. Asuka sprays her mist into SKY's eyes, causing Ripley to trip Asuka and fire off right hands on her. Sane goes after Ripley, but Ripley catches her with a headbutt and sets up for Rip Tide. Asuka comes to Sane's aid, and the pair send Ripley crashing into opposite corners shoulder first. Sane and Asuka then deliver spinning back fists to Ripley before Asuka cinches in the Asuka Lock on Ripley and Sane connects with an In-Sane Elbow on Ripley as Asuka still has her held in the lock.

Rusev then makes his way to the ring. Judgment Day follows. 

The bell rings and Rusev delivers a pair of suplexes to Dominik. Dominik looks to fly over the top rope and out of the ring, but Rusev catches him and delivers a Fallaway Drop to him over the announce desk. He stares down the Intercontinental Championship belt, then dumps Dominik back in the ring and goes for a pin. Dominik kicks out.

Rusev lands a knee on Dominik's midsection during the commercial break, then lands an elbow on him and wears him down with a submission hold. Back from the break, Dominik lands a kick on Rusev's head and follows it up with a jawbreaker.

Dominik connects with a hurricanrana on Rusev and follows it up with a splash to him in the corner, then dials it up for a 619 on him and dropkicks him into the opposite rope before dialling it up for another 619. Dominik then looks to fly off the top rope, but Rusev sees him coming and sets up for The Accolade. Dominik manages to escape Rusev's grasp, then grabs his Intercontinental Championship and looks to head to the back.

Rusev intimidates Dominik back into the ring, where Dominik hits Rusev with his Intercontinental Championship across his spine and subsequently pretends that Rusev hit him with his Intercontinental Championship. While both the referee and Rusev appear confused, Dominik takes advantage and rolls up Rusev for the win.

Winner (and still): Dominik Mysterio

We then head backstage, where Bayley approaches Lyra Valkyria about cornering her again once again tonight. Valkyria doesn't respond well, and Bayley explains that she's going through a lot as Valkyria is somehow in the middle of it. She says she can't do things alone, but Valkyria tells Bayley she can't give her more second chances and is on her own tonight before she walks away and Bayley heads to the ring. Raquel Rodriguez and Roxanne Perez follow.

The bell rings and the two lock up. Rodriguez levels Bayley with a shoulder tackle, but Bayley rains down right hands on Rodriguez and sends her crashing into the mat. Rodriguez whips Bayley into the corner spine first, then whips her into two more of the corners and lands a splash on her. Bayley fires off forearms on Rodriguez, then lands a dive on her and rocks her with a kick through the bottom rope.

Perez lands a right hand on Bayley through the middle rope during the break, and Rodriguez continues to wear her down and stomps on her head using the bottom rope. She wears down Bayley with a submission hold, but Bayley powers up to her feet and fires off right hands on Rodriguez's midsection back from the commercial break.

Bayley sends Rodriguez crashing into the floor on the outside, then ascends to the top rope and delivers an elbow drop to Rodriguez. She ascends back up to the top rope and delivers a senton to Rodriguez, then goes for a pin but Rodriguez kicks out.

Rodriguez runs over Bayley with a clothesline, but Rodriguez responds with a Texana Bomb to Bayley for the win.

Winner: Raquel Rodriguez

After the match, Rodriguez and Perez beat down Bayley. Lyra Valkyria's music hits and she runs down to the ring to come to Bayley's aid. Rodriguez and Bayley overpower her, but Bayley runs over Rodriguez and rains down right hands on her. She sends both her and Perez crashing out of the ring, and Bayley celebrates with Valkyria.

We then head backstage, where Kairi Sane approaches IYO SKY backstage after the events that transpired earlier tonight. SKY tells Sane to get away from her. 

LA Knight then makes his way to the ring. New Day follows. 

The bell rings and the two lock up. Knight levels Kingston with a back elbow, and the two take turns wearing one another down with submission holds. Knight sends Kingston crashing out of the ring and sends his head repeatedly bouncing off the barricade, but Kingston lands a dropkick on Knight through the ropes and sends him crashing into the ring post. He then delivers a splash to him off the ring apron.

During the commercial break, Kingston wears down Knight using the bottom rope and connects with a chop on him in the corner. Knight fires off right hands on Kingston, and the two men exchange strikes with one another back from the break before Knight sends Kingston crashing into one of the barricades on the outside face first and lands a knee on Kingston off the apron and back into the ring. Kingston sets up for SOS, but Knight avoids it and delivers BFT for the win.

Winner: LA Knight

We then head backstage, where Becky Lynch gets into a verbal altercation with Maxxine Dupri and Akira Tozawa. Lynch attacks Dupri and Tozawa, then finds Seth Rollins and asks him how he's feeling heading into the upcoming segment. Rollins says he's fine and tells her that he needs to go to the ring alone before doing so. 

Fans chant for CM Punk and Roman Reigns as Rollins addresses Cody Rhodes and says that Rhodes holds three wins over him. He says that doesn't bother him since it's irrelevant because it's the past of two different men than the current iterations of them. He says the winner at WWE Crown Jewel doesn't just win the Men's Crown Jewel Championship but gets to decide the next ten years of wrestling. He says he will walk WWE into golden age, then says he's taken Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed under his ring to give him their knowledge.

Cody Rhodes' music hits, and he makes his way out. He says "SmackDown" is not Breakker and Reed's show, but he believes Paul Heyman sent them last Friday rather than Rollins bringing up questions about who's really in control of The Vision. Rollins says every decision goes through him and says he sent Breakker and Reed on Friday. Rhodes says if everything goes through Rollins, then he assumes that he allowed Heyman to make Brock Lesnar's ring announcement at Wrestlepalooza. Rollins reiterates that every decision runs through him, but Rhodes says he likes to think about where him and Rollins will be in twenty years, possibly talking to the future stars in the back and reminiscing about their old days together. He recalls Rollins backing him at WrestleMania 40 and thinking he was his friend, but Rollins tells Rhodes to quiet down and claims that he was never his friend. He says he'll never raise Rhodes' hand and says the future of professional wrestling is him and not Rhodes.

We then head backstage, where Rhea Ripley approaches IYO SKY. SKY tells Ripley that she talked to Pearce and got them a tag team match against Kairi Sane and Asuka at Crown Jewel. Ripley asks SKY if she's up to it and says she needs to know she can trust her after seeing her talk to Sane earlier, and SKY assures Ripley that she has her back.

Back at ringside, AJ Styles makes his way out. Dragon Lee and Los Americanos follow.

Lee and Americano Bravo (who resembles Tyler Bate) begin the action. The bell rings and the two lock up. Americano Bravo and Americano Ryo (who resembles Pete Dunne) double team on Lee before Americano Ryo levels Lee with a chop during the break nad wears him down with a submission hold. Americano Bravo tags back in and flies off the middle rope to level Lee, but Americano Ryo tags back in and delivers a shotgun dropkick to Lee's knees.

Americano Ryo levels Lee with a chop and sends him crashing into the corner chest first, then tags Americano Bravo back in. Americano Bravo delivers an uppercut to Lee, then tags back out to Americano Ryo. Americanos 2 and 3 send Lee's legs bouncing off the mat, and Americano Ryo beats down Lee before Americano Bravo tags back in. He wears down Lee with a submission hold, then tags back out to Americano Ryo. Americano Bravo tags back in, but Lee delivers a German suplex to Americano Ryo. Americano Bravo lands a kick on Lee and sits him on the top rope.

Lee and Americano Bravo teeter on the ropes, but Lee sends Americano Bravo crashing into the mat. Americano Ryo and Styles tag in, and Styles runs over Americano Ryo with a series of clotheslines and a back fist to him. He levels an interfering Americano Bravo with another clothesline, then sets up for the Phenomenal Forearm. Americano Bravo distracts the referee, opening the door for the original Americano on the outside (who resembles Ludwig Kaiser) to push Styles off the top rope. Styles takes flight to level the original Americano on the outside, then delivers the Phenomenal Forearm to Americano Ryo. Lee catches Americano Bravo with a thrust kick and flies through the middle rope to level Americano Ryo on the outside. Back in the ring, Styles delivers the Styles Clash to Americano Bravo for the win.

The Usos then make their way to the ring. The Vision follows. 

The bell rings and The Usos fly to level Breakker and Reed on the outside before they can get in the ring. Jimmy delivers a superkick to Breakker, and Jey delivers a forearm to him in the corner. Jimmy and Jey fire off alternating strikes on Reed, and Jimmy clotheslines Breakker out of the ring. The Usos look to take flight, but Reed pulls Jimmy out of the ring and Breakker rains down right hands on Jey. Reed beats down Jimmy on the other side of the ring.

Jimmy superkicks Reed off the announce desk, but Breakker spears Jimmy off one of the barricades through the announce desk. Breakker and Reed beat down Jey in the ring throughout the commercial break, and continue to do so back from the break as Jimmy is still left laying out. Jimmy delivers a Samoan Drop to Breakker, but Breakker turns Jey inside out with a spear.

Roman Reigns' music hits, and he makes his way to the ring with a chair in hand. He sends Breakker crashing out of the ring, then sends Reed crashing into the crowd with the chair before he hits Breakker with the chair repeatedly on the outside. Back in the ring, The Usos double team on Breakker. They ascend to the top rope on opposite corners and land Uso Splashes on Breakker. Jey then pins Breakker for the win.
