WWE Raw Results 6/30 - World Tag Team Title On The Line, Bronson Reed & Bron Breakker Face Penta & Sami Zayn

Welcome to Wrestling Inc.'s live coverage for "WWE Raw" on June 30, 2025, coming to you live from the PPG Paints Arena in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania at a special start time of 6 PM ET!

Since dethroning The War Raiders as WWE World Tag Team Champions at Night One of WWE WrestleMania 41, New Day have only put the title on the line once on the May 26 episode of "Raw" when they retained against The Creed Brothers and the aforementioned Raiders. While Xavier Woods and Kofi Kingston have made plenty of efforts over the course of the past several weeks to avoid putting the World Tag Team Championship on the line again, their luck has begun to run out as they are set to defend their title against Judgment Day's Finn Balor and JD McDonagh tonight.

Seth Rollins attempted to cash in his Money In The Bank contract this past Saturday at WWE Night of Champions during the Undisputed WWE Championship match between titleholder John Cena and CM Punk. While Rollins' allies Bronson Reed and Bron Breakker looked to provide him with some assistance in doing so, Penta and Sami Zayn ensured that wouldn't happen by getting involved in matters as a means of evening the odds. In light of such events, Reed and Breakker will be going head-to-head with Penta and Zayn as the latter two men join forces with one another for the first time ever.

Sheamus and Rusev will both be making their returns to action tonight as they collide with one another in the squared circle. Not only do the two men shared a storied history with one another primarily as allies, but they also came face-to-face on the June 16 edition of "Raw" when they and the aforementioned Reed came up short against Jey Uso in a First Round Four-Way Match for the 2025 King Of The Ring Tournament.

Additionally, GUNTHER has something on his mind to share as he prepares to defend the World Heavyweight Championship against Goldberg at WWE Saturday Night's Main Event on July 12, while Rhea Ripley will be appearing in the opening moments of tonight's show with something to say after emerging victorious against longtime rival Raquel Rodriguez in a Street Fight at Night Of Champions. "Raw" General Manager Adam Pearce and "SmackDown" General Manager Nick Aldis are also set to make a joint announcement, although it remains to be seen as to what it will be in regards to.

We are live! Michael Cole and Corey Graves greet audiences at home as Rhea Ripley makes her way down to the ring.

We Hear From Rhea Ripley

Ripley welcomes fans to Monday Night Mami, then says now that Raquel Rodriguez and Judgment Day are behind her, she's been wondering what's next for her with WWE Evolution right around the corner.

IYO SKY's music hits, and she makes her way out. She says you can't have Evolution without IYO SKY, but she's wrong about being on top. She says she wants to defend her Women's World Championship against the best, and that means Ripley. Ripley says she has nothing but respect for SKY, and she'll stop at nothing to get back the Women's World Championship if SKY really wants that. She tells SKY that whatever happens at Evolution is what she wanted, then says SKY is on at Evolution if that's what she wants.

Judgment Day then makes their way to the ring. New Day follows.

Rusev then makes his way to the ring. Sheamus follows.

Back from the break, we head backstage, where Finn Balor and JD McDonagh convince Adam Pearce and Nick Aldis that Raquel Rodriguez should continue holding the WWE Women's Tag Team Championship with Roxanne Perez.

We head backstage, where Jacie Redmond catches up with Ivy Nile and The Creed Brothers. Ivy Nile and The Creed Brothers encounter a masked El Grande Americano (who resembles Ludwig Kaiser) in the absence of Chad Gable due to injury. Redmond then looks to get in a word with Sami Zayn, but Karrion Kross attacks Zayn out of nowhere and hits him with a steel pipe he finds.

GUNTHER then makes his way to the ring. 

We Hear From GUNTHER

GUNTHER wastes no time addressing Goldberg and says Goldberg has left a mark on every opponent he's stepped into the ring with. He says all of that was summed up in three minutes and he has every right to claim that he's the most feared man of his generation, but he's not afraid of what's left of Goldberg. He says Goldberg wants to ride his coattails at the end of his career, and says he knows Goldberg isn't capable of taking the World Heavyweight Championship of him while he's capable of beating him in under three minutes. He says he will take his time taking Goldberg apart at Saturday Night's Main Event and embarrass him in front of his loved ones. He says he'll expose Goldberg for never having it, then asks who will be next.

Seth "Freakin" Rollins' music hits, and he makes his way out along with Paul Heyman. He says Rollins travelled far to achieve absolutely nothing, then says if GUNTHER had paid any attention, he would've seen what happened at Night Of Champions when he ensured CM Punk would not be a World Champion in WWE. He congratulates GUNTHER on being World Heavyweight Champion and stares him down, but Punk's music hits and he begins brawling with Rollins. He takes down Rollins with a back elbow, but Rollins retreats through the crowd.

Punk looks to leave, but GUNTHER grabs his arm. Punk shoves GUNTHER in response, but LA Knight sneaks up behind Rollins and brawls with him in the concession and merchandise area of the arena. 

Bayley then makes her way to the ring. Lyra Valkyria follows.
