Seth Rollins and CM Punk arrive at the arena for the final Monday Night Raw on the USA Network.

Joe Tessitore and Wade Barrett announce the start of the show, which will have its first 30 minutes without commercial breaks. Barrett attempts to introduce Jey Uso, but the New Day interrupts the moment.

Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods walk towards the ring amidst boos from the crowd. Woods confronts a fan in the front row due to the protests. The audience continues expressing disapproval, preventing Kingston and Woods from starting their speeches, while chanting “New Day Sucks”. Kingston tries to warn about their limited time, but the boos persist until Jey Uso makes his entrance.

The former WWE Intercontinental Champion descends through the stands with strong crowd support. Upon entering the ring, Jey Uso finds Kingston and Woods visibly irritated by the warm reception. Woods attempts to address Jey, but the boos continue, leading the duo to ask Jey to calm the fans. In response to the request and recalling their long history, Jey simply declares “New Day Sucks”. Woods advances threateningly, but Kingston convinces him to leave the ring.

During his promo, Jey lists his current challenges and calls Drew McIntyre to the ring. Solo Sikoa appears on screen, criticizing Jey for aligning with Roman Reigns against The Bloodline. Sikoa promises to defeat Reigns next week to maintain the Ula Fala, stating that Jey will need to acknowledge him as Tribal Chief.

McIntyre attacks Jey from behind and slams his head against the ring. When attempting to deliver the “Claymore Kick”, Jey counters with a “Superkick” and maintains the offensive. McIntyre recovers and prepares another “Claymore Kick”, but officials intervene to prevent the attack.

In the Gorilla Position, Cathy Kelley interviews Chad Gable about his match tonight. Gable shows frustration while talking about the confrontation with his former student. Gable states that he will give one final lesson, proving that the pupil does not surpass the master.

In a promotional video, Rhea Ripley acknowledges the high cost of her distractions with Liv Morgan and promises to end this situation next week. Morgan, in turn, celebrates her Revenge Tour and guarantees she will retain the title after defeating Ripley.

In the Judgment Day’s clubhouse, Finn Bálor mocks Liv Morgan’s absence from tonight’s show. He reassures his companions that everything will go well as long as they follow his guidance. Before leaving, he asks Raquel Rodriguez to relay a message to Morgan, wishing her good luck for next week.

Pete Dunne attacks R-Truth during his entrance, forcing officials to intervene to separate the wrestlers. “Nobody calls me Butch,” declares the Brit after the attack.

Backstage, IYO SKY and Dakota Kai talk with Cathy Kelley. Kai promises revenge against Zoey Stark for attacking Kairi Sane, expressing her desire to face SKY in the women’s tournament finals to ensure the title stays with Damage CTRL. SKY acknowledges her opponent for the night, Lyra Valkyria, as a future champion, but reaffirms her confidence in advancing to the finals.

Adam Pearce informs an irritated Jey Uso that he expelled Drew McIntyre from the arena. Aware of Jey’s desire for revenge, he announces a singles match between the two for next week, on RAW’s Netflix debut.

A new teaser of the Ø symbol appears on screen, this time accompanied by a masked figure.

Ludwig Kaiser enters the arena and demands attention from the crowd. The German declares his position at the top and, representing European elegance, calls out Bron Breakker.

Seth Rollins enters the ring and greets Houston with “Welcome to Monday Night Rollins”. In his promo, he emphasizes that this is the last episode on USA Network and that there’s only one week left until the confrontation between “The Best in the World” and “The Real Best in the World”. Rollins guarantees his weekly presence on the show, unlike CM Punk, who will probably disappear after being defeated.

CM Punk enters the ring, walks past Rollins, and asks for a microphone. He questions Rollins’ words, reminding him that Becky Lynch left the company. Punk suggests that Rollins still suffers from his abandonment and asks about his neck and knee, recalling that Rollins couldn’t get revenge against Bronson Reed, while he destroyed his ankles. He states that Rollins has no chance of winning.

Rollins responds that his wife is on break to raise a daughter, something Punk knows nothing about. He continues taunting, reminding that Punk failed in all attempts outside WWE. Rollins declares that the company defeated its rivals, but Punk only returned to try to steal that credit.

Punk counters by saying that Rollins wouldn’t be there without him. He states that he loved the company, just hated who was running it. He explains that he had to leave to escape constant attacks. His return, partially motivated by the fans, marks a new phase. Next week, he promises to come prepared to attack. Rollins defines Punk as a cancer that needs to be removed from the root. In seven days, he promises to bring all his hatred to completely destroy him. The segment and episode end with both staring each other down.

End of show.
