RAW - 2025.05.12 | Highlights
Transcript
00:00For the first time since Wrestlemania, we'll hear from CM Punk.
00:10This place to being home and I've waited a few weeks and I've nursed a few injuries and a lot
00:39of hurt feelings. I got a lot of enemies. In fact, it would be real easy for me to list who I'm not pissed off at right now.
00:46Bullet, the person that I'm most pissed off at right now is me. This isn't the first time Paul Heyman stabbed CM Punk in the back.
00:56We've grown and matured as human beings. He's who he has always been. He's a fat little snake.
01:04I'm mad at that little Timu CM Punk, Seth Rollins. Louisville, Kentucky. We know how this ends.
01:11We've been down this road all on this journey together. Paul Heyman.
01:15Ladies and gentlemen, here it is.
01:19Where are you at, Penguin? Come on!
01:21Oh, look at him. You want to march with some purpose? And explain to me exactly why you did what you did.
01:28That whatever words you choose, they will be your last. Come on!
01:32Burn it down!
01:34You're just a song, kid. That's all you are.
01:49Paul Heyman was your best friend. And you made his life hell trying to make us believe that he betrayed you.
02:03I believe that you're scum. You stand there freezing that I am not world heavyweight champion right now.
02:15You ain't ever going to be champion as long as I'm on two feet.
02:18I can't seem to figure it out. I can't seem to... Paul, wait a minute. He loves to play the victim.
02:24You so desperately want to die a martyr? I believe your last words.
02:31For a confrontation... You gonna bark all day, little doggie? You gonna bite?
02:34And Puck now waste a little time. And the fight is on!
02:38Seth just looks on as Breaker now begins to annihilate CM Punk.
02:43Rollins warned Punk. But Punk's gonna fight back. And now takes down Rollins.
02:49Taking it to set tonight. And Braun Breaker though, as the numbers game catches up to Punk.
02:54Meanwhile, Sami Zayn's out here. Been roughed up by this group as well.
02:59And Breaker! Look at the power of it!
03:02Two on one situation again. Rollins asking Haven to hand him a steel chair.
03:11And the world champ is here! And Breaker back into the fray.
03:16Zayn with a chair! Punk with a chair!
03:20You have to wonder if the architect...
03:29Gable and Penta set to go one-on-one. And Penta...
03:41Well, ask and I shall receive! My partner's here!
03:46Pan McAfee!
03:51Welcome, partner. Good to see you.
03:54I apologize. They asked me a lot of questions on how I felt.
03:57I said I got my ass beat this weekend!
04:0020 minutes of the show by myself, but nonetheless...
04:02Here, it's interesting that Gable is standing up for El Grande Americano tonight.
04:06It was...
04:07Uh, Chad Gable is gonna have to do a lot, but that's what he wants searching for.
04:09The height that steel played in, so it doesn't give him an advantage in a matchup against another luchador.
04:14And look at this now. Back suplex by...
04:16That's Chad Gable!
04:17Gable. It's interesting that, um, although El Grande Americano is the...
04:21El Grande Americano's a superstar. No ifs, ands, or buts about it. Currently on a world tour. I'm sorry.
04:26Oh, look at Gable trying to take the mask off Penta. You'd think that Gable would learn.
04:31And Penta able to fight back.
04:33Luchadors and the high flyer with an arm drag.
04:35Nice rano by Penta.
04:37Launches himself up over the top, and Gable!
04:40And Gable turns it into a suplex bridge, shoulders down, kick it two!
04:45Penta!
04:46And Penta! Oh, goodness!
04:48Cover by Penta now!
04:49And Gable kicks it two! What a move!
04:52Between two of the top superstars today.
04:56One!
04:57And another chop!
04:58Two!
04:59Gable able it!
05:01Chad, Moonsault, caught him!
05:03Took his one slip from Penta, and Chad Gable almost ended it!
05:06He's going for the sacrifice, Gable!
05:08And dragged Penta back to the middle of the ring!
05:10Middle of the ring!
05:11Able to do that, turns it into a pinning combination!
05:13And a kick out of two!
05:15Are you kidding me?!
05:16Mexican destroyer!
05:1810 for the win!
05:20That was absolutely incredible!
05:24Penta just spliced!
05:26Stay under the mask as El Grande Americano, because El Grande actually wins.
05:31We'll take on the current women's world champ, the former world champ, Mio Skye and Rhea Ripley!
05:37How's she going?
05:38How's she going?
05:39Tom.
05:40That's how she misses me as much as I miss her.
05:41Her movie's going great.
05:42Nice.
05:43Only thing was, she said good morning.
05:45So, at Backlash, you hesitated a little bit with the chair.
05:49You're starting to sound all paranoid, like Damian Rhea.
05:52Alright, look, it didn't go smooth.
05:54But everything worked out, and you're still the champ.
05:56I know you are.
05:57Alright, I'm gonna go get ready.
05:59Talk to you later.
06:00Hell yeah, brother.
06:01The best athletes on the planet today.
06:03The World Tag Team Champions!
06:08Once again, going to brace us with their presence.
06:11This match is presented by Total Wireless.
06:15Seth Rollins and Braun Breaker will team up against CM Punk and Sammy.
06:23Saturday night's main event.
06:25Me and you.
06:26We good?
06:27We're gonna do this?
06:28I'm good, but I'm not.
06:29You know, I'm having a hard time trusting anybody right now.
06:31I can understand that, because I had a hard time trusting you.
06:34Yeah.
06:35Look, man, I'm not stupid.
06:36I know you like to do things your way.
06:38But the truth is, neither of us gonna get anything done.
06:41Not with those guys standing in the way.
06:43You're not lying.
06:44We work together.
06:45Saturday night's main event.
06:46We take him out.
06:47A future tag team title opportunity.
06:49It appears to me that the New Day has been trying to duck.
06:53WrestleMania by cheating.
06:54Let's get that out there.
06:55Cheating.
06:56Cheating.
06:57Cheating.
06:58You're a biased interpretator of the match.
06:59How dare you, Michael.
07:00We're talking about you guys.
07:01Who the New Day are running scared of, are dominating the Creed brothers right now.
07:05Eric dumping tag.
07:07We just noticed things that a lot of people don't notice.
07:09Some cracks in this foundation.
07:10That's how we're saying.
07:11Beat them in the War Age.
07:12I didn't say that.
07:13We want the best competition.
07:14So we want to make sure we are creating opportunities.
07:17Is that so bad?
07:18I could never pull it off.
07:19You know you couldn't.
07:20Unbuttoned shirt thing.
07:21You wouldn't know anything about this.
07:22I can't even talk sneakers with you because it's so far.
07:24And look at.
07:25Now Julius.
07:26Oh.
07:27Julius.
07:28Oh my God.
07:29He dies.
07:30Oh my God.
07:31Okay, Creed.
07:33War Raiders taking on the Creed brothers of American made.
07:36And Ivar flattening Julius there.
07:38Slap.
07:39Heart wheel.
07:40Oh, what a good kick.
07:41330 pounds.
07:42Again, not to be celebrated.
07:44Speaking of.
07:45Oh my God.
07:46Uh-oh.
07:47National champion.
07:48Oh my God.
07:49Creed.
07:50Moonsault.
07:51Kick out.
07:52Toughness of the War Raiders showing.
07:53Eric is back.
07:54Oh.
07:55And they lost at Mania.
07:56And now Eric showing off his power.
07:58Toss.
07:59He can toss somebody.
08:00He can toss somebody.
08:01I'm a strong guy.
08:02It didn't work?
08:03Yeah.
08:04Oh.
08:05Oh.
08:06With the pummel.
08:07282 pounds.
08:08Oh.
08:09We don't suck.
08:10We're literally the champions.
08:12Tags.
08:13Uh-oh.
08:14It's like they lied to you, Pat.
08:15Yeah, look at Brutus.
08:16Oh.
08:17The strength.
08:18That was a lot.
08:19Beat in the jaw.
08:20Eric there for Ivar.
08:21Just pointed out.
08:22Oh God.
08:23Did you hear that?
08:24Xavier Woods gonna get himself in trouble.
08:28Kingston off headsets.
08:30And now the attack from behind.
08:32Julius holding up Ivar.
08:33And the Brutus ball.
08:35American made knock off the War Raiders.
08:39The new.
08:40New day.
08:41Great job boys.
08:42Great job.
08:43Big win for.
08:44You know they probably feel like they got one up on us out there tonight.
08:48They probably feel like they got us backed against the wall.
08:52They might even feel like they're winning this battle.
08:55And maybe they feel like I've underestimated them.
08:59They had no idea.
09:01What I am capable of.
09:06Bron.
09:07I got one more thing I'd like you to do tonight before you take off.
09:15And have some fun.
09:20Jey Uso saw him earlier tonight coming to the aid of Sami Zayn and CM Punk.
09:25Jey Uso.
09:28It was a cheap shot.
09:30A blindside attack by that man.
09:32On Jey Uso.
09:3516 million social media views.
09:3812 hours after this attack.
09:40Which means I'm gonna take it from you.
09:42So start paying attention.
09:43Cause your world title.
09:44It's mine Jey.
09:46Jey Uso.
09:47Defenses world heavyweight title.
09:49Against Logan Paul.
09:51Jey Uso.
09:52Jey.
09:53Jey Uso.
09:58Jey Uso.
10:15I said the world heavyweight champion, Jey Uso, is now in your big target on my big back,
10:35off my big chest.
10:37Hey, Logan Paul saying I'm not championship material, say I got a glass, y'all.
10:44Keep on sneaking me, but look though, that Saturday night main event, it's me and you, Uso.
10:51I promise you this, after that Saturday night, world...
10:56Whoa, whoa, whoa.
11:01Well, they put Pat McAfee through a war this past Saturday night.
11:08You tap out! You tap out! You tap out! You tap out! You tap out!
11:18The unimaginable came true.
11:21It's the first time since that moment, you mean a moment where I made you tap out?
11:28You tap out! You tap out! You tap out! You tap out! You tap out!
11:3380% of my time in that company, I've been a champion, so I understand.
11:40Can feel this position is not natural to you.
11:44You are not a natural champion.
11:48The winner out of you and Logan to hand over the World Heavyweight Championship, me,
11:54I will challenge the winner out of you and Logan Heavyweight Championship.
12:00I really do hope it's you.
12:04Outclass you and remind you where your place is.
12:12Remind me of my place.
12:14I'll run this place with this on my own.
12:17And I'm going to walk in this match the same way Heavyweight Champion.
12:23Four letters.
12:24Jey Uso oozing with confidence for the World Heavyweight Championship.
12:35Roxanne, Perez, and Julia, a big-time tag team match in our main event later on tonight, live.
12:40Maybe another time.
12:41Ben Balor!
12:43Ben Balor!
12:46Carlito are out here, obviously.
12:46We're...
12:47Ben Balor!
12:48We're...
12:49Ben Balor!
12:50Carlito are out here, obviously, with Ben Balor.
13:05Finn Balor!
13:09Carlito are out here, obviously, with Finn Balor.
13:14Where's Dom?
13:18His opponent, AJ Styles!
13:24Working on Raw against Finn Balor.
13:26Finn Balor is extremely bitter and jealous.
13:30You can certainly see how Finn might be jealous of Dom.
13:33He's also a problem of Judgment Day.
13:35There are no leaders.
13:36Ticking tired of listening to Dominic run his mouth.
13:38You know, the greatest Intercontinental Champion of all time.
13:41Lot of one-upsmanship here.
13:42Great switch by Balor there.
13:44Balor of the Judgment Day.
13:46And a half a century of experience right now in the ring.
13:48As he should.
13:49AJ's won it once in his career.
13:51Balor a two-time Intercontinental Champion.
13:54Absolutely, and he didn't think that was too sweet
13:56to get bounced around by Dominic Mysterio's AJ Styles.
13:59The numbers game, but inside the ring.
14:01One-on-one with the phenomenal one.
14:02Yep.
14:03Finn Balor takes advantage of the time.
14:05Yeah.
14:06The chest shows it.
14:07Chopped by AJ, and another one to Balor.
14:09Balor, though, hanging AJ up on the top rope.
14:12Balor slowing the pace down.
14:15He can throw a phenomenal stretch, perhaps, on Styles.
14:19In a clothesline, and here comes AJ trying to pick up the face.
14:23There's that flying, sliding forearm.
14:26Vintage Styles there, dropping Balor in the back of his head.
14:31Well, now, once again, we were wondering when this was going to happen.
14:33Back to his attention to Balor.
14:34Balor rolls him up, though.
14:36Maybe playing possum to take advantage.
14:38The kicks by Styles.
14:40Bill!
14:41Bowman down center of the ring.
14:43Over 11,000 looking on tonight in Louisville for Monday Night Raw.
14:48And there is a super pucks at the top by Styles.
14:51Got by Styles.
14:52Gut punch by Balor.
14:53Another right hand by Styles.
14:55And it may have...
14:56Oh, it caught him.
14:57Oh, intercepted.
14:58Great counter by Styles.
15:00Half pressure on Balor.
15:01It's in the middle of the ring.
15:02It's deep.
15:03And he forces the break.
15:06Oh, wait a minute.
15:07Finn, though, back to the middle of the ring.
15:09He drops Styles.
15:10And now Finn's back in control.
15:11Finn targeting Styles.
15:13Styles is ready.
15:14And he meets him on a clothesline.
15:16And Balor with a sling blade.
15:18Balor to the top.
15:19Nobody home.
15:20Styles rolls out of harm's way.
15:21And again, that Styles worked the calf pressure on.
15:23Gives out for Balor.
15:25Yeah, Styles right back to the same submission move.
15:27Center of the ring.
15:28AJ now.
15:29Oh!
15:30And a Styles clash!
15:31Stacking up Balor!
15:32Who happens to kick in two?
15:34But Balor able to kick out of the Styles clash by AJ.
15:39Most chances have been said to these two men around the globe.
15:42For the traditional Styles clash.
15:44Carlito had the referee.
15:46The phenomenal forearm caught by Balor.
15:48Balor.
15:49Oh!
15:50And he cracks 19-18.
15:51Hook to the leg!
15:52Almost had him and a kick out!
15:55Takes out Carlito!
15:56Those judgment done a lot!
15:58Yeah!
15:59Killed the world backbreaker!
16:00Oh!
16:01Phenomenal forearm by Styles!
16:05Styles!
16:06Two!
16:07Three!
16:08AJ Styles able to capitalize on Pence getting involved.
16:11Pick up the victory here tonight.
16:14The man.
16:15Very disgruntled after what broke down Saturday night.
16:18Becky Lynch is here.
16:23No, no.
16:24Lyra was beaten on Saturday.
16:27Believe me.
16:28Well, one of us was taken to a hospital.
16:31Her.
16:32To me after she came out week after week.
16:34And attacked my character.
16:36The person that I am.
16:37I gave her the best match of her career.
16:40But when the bell rang.
16:42I didn't hear defeat.
16:43Realized how much I had been manipulated.
16:47Not just by Lyra.
16:48But by all of you.
16:50The last time that I won the world championship.
16:54I felt it.
16:55I heard.
16:56Then why am I here?
16:57But hey.
16:58Hey.
16:59I've always been for the people.
17:00So whatever you want.
17:01Because hey man.
17:02You guys.
17:03You carried me on your shoulders into the main of wrestling.
17:07I was you.
17:08You were me.
17:09We were in this together.
17:12Because all you know is failure.
17:14What I'm about.
17:15I didn't have to listen to all of your lies.
17:18So I'm selfish.
17:19I'm greedy.
17:20Yes I am.
17:22Because the fire had gone out of Becky Lynch.
17:25Well they're finally gonna realize what it's like.
17:28To be held down.
17:29By the man.
17:32If I wasn't.
17:33Then why would you say I am.
17:35In the man.
17:36Yes.
17:37Yes sir.
17:38I want Lucef.
17:39Come on Adam.
17:40Think about it.
17:41He can do this.
17:42That's brave.
17:43But I just can't give you a match with Rusev.
17:44You're not medically clear.
17:45He's not clear guys.
17:46He can totally do this.
17:47You're not clear.
17:48I will be soon.
17:49And when you are.
17:50We will revisit this conversation.
17:51I give you my word.
17:52Sauer.
17:53How are you doing fella?
17:54Fair play to you man for never backing down.
17:56And I know when you are cleared.
17:58You're gonna give a hairy and a hundred tall.
18:00Hell.
18:01Yeah?
18:02Respect man.
18:05Thanks guys.
18:06I needed to shake off that ring rust.
18:07What rust?
18:08I want to keep that momentum going.
18:09So how about it.
18:10Right?
18:11Think about this.

18:19You know what?
18:20Consider that official.
18:21Because that.
18:22Sounds like a banger.
18:24Now you're speaking my language for that.
18:26It's great to be back.
18:27Money in the bank.
18:28Well if you win that.
18:29You can punch yourself a ticket to a world championship opportunity.
18:33The champ Jey Uso.
18:34Versus Braun Breaker.
18:35The dogs are gonna be barking in South Carolina.
