WWE Raw Results - December 08, 2025: Gunther’s Final Warning to Cena, Vaquer’s Next Challenger, and The Vision Leaves LA Knight in Ruins
WWE brought go-home chaos to the GIANT Center as Gunther promised to break John Cena’s will, the tag division exploded, and The Vision (Logan Paul, Bron Breakker, Bronson Reed, Paul Heyman) painted the town gold—literally crushing LA Knight under a 747 Splash on a car to end the night.
Quick Results
- IYO SKY def. Kairi Sane — pinfall, Diving Moonsault
- AJ Styles & Dragon Lee def. War Raiders — pinfall, Phenomenal Forearm (retain World Tag Titles)
- Roxanne Perez def. Lyra Valkyria — pinfall, Pop Rox
- Logan Paul def. LA Knight — pinfall, Frog Splash
Opening Segment: Gunther’s Last Word Before Cena
Gunther soaked in “We want Cena!” chants and then gutted the room with cold truth: John isn’t here—this is his time. After tapping LA Knight to win The Last Time Is Now Tournament, The Ring General vowed to do the unthinkable on Saturday—force John Cena to submit.
“I’ll squeeze until the last bit of Hustle, Loyalty, and Respect leaves his body.”
Match: IYO SKY vs. Kairi Sane
Winner: IYO SKY (pinfall, Diving Moonsault)
High-speed chess with heavy hits. SKY and Sane traded roll-ups, counters, and rope-run sequences until Asuka tripped IYO to swing momentum. Rhea Ripley chased Asuka off, but not before Kairi hit a diving elbow to the floor. Down the stretch, IYO survived Tree of Woe double stomp, dumped Sane with a German on the apron, moonsaulted to the outside, and—after more Asuka chaos and a Ripley wipeout—sealed it with a top-rope Moonsault.
Post-match: RHIYO stood tall as the Kabuki Warriors fumed.
Backstage: Heyman & The Vision Plot
Logan Paul demanded receipts for Rey Mysterio’s slap last week. Paul Heyman floated the Bron ‘n Bron Connection as muscle and quietly slid Logan the brass knucks—“Just in case.”
Angle: Logan Paul Jumps Rey—The “Masked Man” Strikes
Before Rey Mysterio could face Finn Bálor, Logan blindsided him. Rey rallied—until a masked man hit a superkick and Blackout, letting Logan deck Rey with the loaded punch.
LA Knight stormed out, dared Logan to fight tonight, and got his wish.
Match: WWE Men’s World Tag Team Championship
AJ Styles & Dragon Lee (c) vs. War Raiders (Erik & Ivar)
Winners: Styles & Dragon Lee (pinfall, Phenomenal Forearm on Ivar) – still champions
Champions weathered the Raiders’ power and quick-tag grind, then flipped the tempo: Dragon Lee’s bursts set the table for AJ’s Phenomenal Forearm to close.
Post-match: New Day confronted the champs… and THE USOS returned. Jey and Jimmy cleared New Day, glared at Styles/Lee, and promised the division they’re “blocking the doors” and hunting the gold.
In-Ring: Women’s World Champion Stephanie Vaquer Calls Her Shot
Stephanie Vaquer said she speaks through actions, not talk—then Nikki Bella demanded a rematch. Raquel Rodriguez ambushed Nikki, bounced her off the post, and told Vaquer (in Spanish and English) to name the time and place for a title fight.
Judgment Day Clubhouse
Finn Bálor loved the Logan save; Dominik wondered who the masked man was. Elsewhere, Liv Morgan and Raquel sniped about title paths; Liv hyped Roxanne Perez to grab momentum tonight.
Match: Lyra Valkyria vs. Roxanne Perez
Winner: Roxanne Perez (pinfall, Pop Rox)
Lyra chained two Northern Lights suplexes early, but Perez mauled the arm, snapped it over the ropes, and hunted a Fujiwara armbar. Late scrum: Liv hit a key rake behind the ref, Roxanne capitalized with Pop Rox.
Main Event: LA Knight vs. Logan Paul
Winner: Logan Paul (pinfall, Frog Splash)
Knight started hot—lariat flurry, slingshot elbow, announce-desk dribble. Logan answered with a Zig Zag and wild athletic counters. The Bron ‘n Bron run-in backfired briefly (ejected), but the masked man returned with another Blackout behind the ref’s back. Logan reset and hit a Frog Splash for the three.
Post-match carnage: Breakker speared Knight, Reed hit 747 Splash in-ring… then backstage escalation: The Vision jumped Knight again, Reed 747-splashed him off stacked road cases onto the hood of a car as Adam Pearce screamed for medics. Show faded on wreckage.
Wrestling.news | Backstage Take
- Gunther/Cena: The promo landed like a guillotine—no stunts, just menace. If the finish Saturday is a clean submission, WWE erases years of “Cena never quits” mythology in one decisive shot. That’s era-defining heat.
- Tag scene: Styles/Lee are work-rate anchors, but New Day + returning Usos means we’re barreling toward a three-brand legacy collision. Usos felt rejuvenated and dangerous.
- Vaquer’s lane: Raquel vs. Vaquer is the power-vs-precision ticket, but Liv’s fingerprints on Perez’s win suggest Judgment Day is playing 4-D chess across singles and tags.
- The Vision: This is the most cohesive Logan has felt on TV—heat magnets who can talk, cheat, and deliver spectacle. The masked-man thread (Rollins? Misdirection?) keeps the Punk title picture messy by design.
- LA Knight: He absorbed a savage write-off without losing cool points. When he roars back, the pop will be nuclear.
