Gunther and Jey Uso`s confrontation highlighted WWE Raw, alongside Rey Mysterio`s victory and Bayley`s return.

WWE Monday Night Raw delivered an action-packed episode on January 20, 2025, at the American Airlines Center in Dallas, Texas. The show kicked off with Jey Uso taking center stage, delivering a passionate in-ring promo that was swiftly interrupted by the imposing World Heavyweight Champion, Gunther. Gunther dismissed Jey as a "useful idiot" and a "flash in the pan," asserting that he was unworthy of being in the title picture. Jey fired back, declaring himself the mascot of the fans and vowing to earn respect by defeating Gunther for the championship. This heated exchange escalated into a physical confrontation, with Jey standing tall after landing a superkick that sent Gunther retreating from the ring.

In a backstage segment, Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods of The New Day encountered John Bradshaw Layfield. Their attempt to bribe JBL backfired as he praised Big E`s charisma, suggesting that the absence of Big E might shift the spotlight onto them. This comment did not sit well with Kingston and Woods, leading to a tense exit.

The first match of the night featured Rey Mysterio facing Kofi Kingston. Despite interference from Xavier Woods, who was ejected for tripping Rey, Mysterio managed to secure a pinfall victory over Kingston. Following the match, Woods and Kingston retaliated against Mysterio but were thwarted by Joaquin Wilde and Cruz Del Toro of the LWO.

Bayley made her return to Raw, announcing her entry into the Women`s Royal Rumble match. However, her moment was interrupted by Nia Jax, who threatened Bayley and reminded her of a previous attack on Rhea Ripley. Bayley challenged Jax, setting the stage for a potential showdown.

Sheamus also made headlines during an interview, discussing his upcoming Intercontinental Title match against Bron Breakker at Saturday Night`s Main Event. Breakker`s taunts about Sheamus`s age led to a physical confrontation between the two.

The main event featured Seth Rollins taking on Drew McIntyre, promising to deliver high-stakes action, although detailed results were not available.
