CM Punk & Jey Uso Involved In Heated Confrontation On RAW, Becky Lynch Maxxine Dupri To Run It Back

This week’s episode of WWE RAW opened with a heated face-to-face confrontation between Jey Uso and CM Punk, just days before their showdown for the vacant World Heavyweight Championship at Saturday Night’s Main Event.

Uso made his way to the ring first, hyping up the crowd with his signature entrance routine — twice — before turning serious. He vented about the constant noise from Roman Reigns, Jimmy Uso, and “everybody’s momma,” making it clear that when it comes to his championship ambitions, it’s all about him.

Before Uso could finish his trademark “Yeet!” catchphrase, CM Punk’s music hit. The “Best in the World” hit the stage, mocking Uso by redoing his own entrance before stepping into the ring. Punk told Uso that come Saturday night, he’ll be right in his face the entire match, but he also gave Uso credit for carving his own path and standing apart from The Bloodline.

Things grew tense as Punk questioned how far Uso is truly willing to go to capture the title, emphasizing that he already knows his own limits — or lack thereof. He asked what Uso would do “when he finds himself in a situation he can’t yeet his way out of.”

Uso didn’t back down, firing back that he’s no stranger to “deep waters” and knows how to survive them. The confrontation ended with Uso defiantly promising to prove who the real Best in the World is when they meet at Saturday Night’s Main Event.

The future of the Intercontinental Championship Belt remains uncertain.

Following the heated face-off between CM Punk and Jey Uso, this week’s edition of WWE RAW saw PENTA go one-on-one with Rusev in a high-stakes match to determine the next challenger for ‘Dirty’ Dominik Mysterio’s Intercontinental Title.

However, the match didn’t end as fans had hoped. The bout was thrown into chaos when Los Americanos — El Grande Americano, Bravo Americano, and Rayo Americano — stormed the ring and launched an attack on both competitors.

For a brief moment, the trio stood tall over the fallen contenders, but Penta and Rusev quickly regrouped. Setting their rivalry aside, the two powerhouses joined forces to fend off the luchador faction, leaving the title picture even more unpredictable heading into next week.

Maxxine Dupri is officially in line for a WWE Women’s Intercontinental Championship match against Becky Lynch — though the date remains up in the air.

During Monday’s episode of RAW, Dupri met with General Manager Adam Pearce, who informed her that she’s earned a shot at the title.

Dupri expressed her gratitude but asked for time to call a friend and make sure she’s fully prepared before stepping into the ring with “The Man.” Pearce agreed, assuring her that she’ll receive the championship match whenever she’s ready.

Dupri’s recent countout and disqualification wins over Lynch have positioned her as a legitimate contender for the gold.

This week’s of WWE RAW closed out with a major Women’s Tag Team Championship match, as Charlotte Flair and Alexa Bliss put their titles on the line against Lyra Valkyria and Bayley.

In the closing moments, Flair trapped Bayley in the Figure Eight. Just as Bayley was about to tap, Valkyria grabbed her partner’s hand to stop her. Alexa Bliss quickly intervened, diving off the top rope with a Twisted Bliss that wiped out Valkyria.

Flair and Bliss followed up with simultaneous Natural Selections on their opponents, and Flair pinned Bayley to retain the gold.

After the bell, the chaos continued as Asuka and Kairi Sane stormed the ring, attacking both champions and Valkyria. Sane nailed Flair with an InSane Elbow Drop before Bayley managed to chase the duo from the ring.
