WWE Raw on June 30 was packed with high drama and major confrontations, especially in the final segment of the night, where top stars found themselves in a heated face-off. The show opened with World Heavyweight Champion Gunther addressing the WWE Universe. He sent a clear message to Goldberg, his rumored opponent for SummerSlam, boasting he could defeat the Hall of Famer in under three minutes. But that was just the beginning.
Gunther’s promo was soon interrupted by Seth Rollins, who reminded him that he still owed him a proper shot at the championship. Rollins, who previously failed to cash in Money in the Bank against Gunther, made it clear he wanted another chance.
Then came CM Punk. The crowd erupted as Punk made his way down, escalating the tension. Instead of a war of words, Punk took action. He attacked Rollins, and chaos quickly followed. Gunther, standing tall at first, was pulled into the fight as LA Knight jumped in, ambushing Rollins from the crowd area.
The wild brawl ended with everyone laid out around the ring. But one thing became clear — the race to challenge Gunther’s title is heating up, and multiple top stars are ready to stake their claim.
Later in the night, WWE announced that Seth Rollins will face LA Knight at Saturday Night’s Main Event. Meanwhile, CM Punk signaled he isn’t done with Rollins or Gunther, adding more fuel to an already explosive mix.
Title Changes, Feuds Settled, and Women’s Division Gets a Boost
The night wasn’t just about the men’s main event scene. There were major developments across the board.
One of the night’s biggest moments came when The Judgment Day’s Finn Bálor and JD McDonagh captured the World Tag Team Championship. They defeated The New Day (Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods) in a back-and-forth contest, ending it with Bálor’s Coup de Grace.
Rusev also picked up a big win over Sheamus, using a dirty trick to gain the upper hand. After exposing a turnbuckle pad, he hit Sheamus with a Machka Kick to seal the victory and close the book on their bitter rivalry.
In the women’s division, Rhea Ripley and IYO SKY took a big step toward a championship showdown. Ripley came out demanding competition, and IYO answered, challenging her to a title match at the upcoming Evolution event. Both women agreed, setting up a must-see clash between two of WWE’s most dominant female stars.
Elsewhere, Sami Zayn teamed with Penta to take on Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed. Despite Zayn’s injured ribs, the team put up a good fight. In the end, Breakker landed a huge spear to get the win. After the match, Jey Uso rushed in to save Zayn and Penta, suggesting a new alliance or future tag match could be on the horizon.
