Last night’s WWE Raw from Perth, Australia, served up exactly what fans expect from Monday Night’s flagship show: carefully choreographed chaos, perfect storytelling, and a sprinkle of jaw-dropping twists. Opening Segment Seth Rollins kicked things off alongside The Vision in a promo that was, in the words of one excited viewer, “pure poetry.” Every line, crafted by WWE’s professional writing team, hit its mark flawlessly. When Rollins declared himself the greatest of all time, the drama—even enhanced by a well-timed arm slam—sent shockwaves through the audience. AEW-style improvisation? Not here. This was controlled, precise, and utterly compelling. Intercontinental Championship Retained Dominik Mysterio successfully defended the Intercontinental Championship against Penta. WWE’s booking ensured the champion remained strong, while the challenger was presented in a safe, predictable way—no dangerous spots that might actually shock the crowd. Mysterio’s clever use of the timekeeper’s hammer sealed the win without a hint of chaos, proving once again that WWE knows how to maintain a PG-friendly balance of drama and safety. Rhea Ripley Shines on Home Turf In a feel-good moment for Australian fans, Rhea Ripley defeated Kairi Sane in her home country. The match followed WWE’s classic formula: heel heat, face comeback, signature moves, finisher, victory. Predictable? Yes. Exciting? Absolutely. Ripley’s victory reinforced WWE’s mastery of storytelling while keeping the action safe and controlled. Bronson Reed Squashes Jimmy Uso Bronson Reed dominated Jimmy Uso with a Tsunami finisher, delivering the kind of safe, telegraphed outcome fans love. Bron Breakker’s subsequent Super Spear attempt and Jey Uso’s save were executed with precision, keeping the segment thrilling but entirely within WWE’s expertly managed parameters. Tag Team Brilliance Bayley and Lyra Valkyria defeated Judgment Day in a tag team match that was a textbook display of WWE’s formulaic excellence. Bayley’s “loss of control” moment was perfectly scripted and controlled, ensuring high drama without breaking the PG rating. Triple Threat Thrills CM Punk, LA Knight, and Jey Uso battled in a triple threat match, culminating in Punk winning with the GTS. The bout followed WWE’s classic structure: rotations, signature moves, and a predictable finisher. The result underscored WWE Raw’s commitment to delivering consistent, risk-free storytelling while keeping fans engaged. The Shocking Twist to Close the Night The biggest story came in the closing moments: Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed turned on Seth Rollins, creating one of the most memorable Raw endings in recent memory. Paul Heyman’s shocked reaction was Oscar-worthy, and the twist was expertly foreshadowed, giving fans the perfect mix of surprise and narrative satisfaction. Final Thoughts WWE Raw continues to prove that predictability, when executed with skill, can be immensely satisfying. With every match hitting its marks and every storyline unfolding safely yet dramatically, WWE reminds fans why it remains the gold standard of sports entertainment.
