These 5 Storylines Will Drive the WWE RAW After Night of Champions
WWE RAW is set to go live on June 30 from PPG Paints Arena in Pittsburgh. This episode is important because it will follow the events of Night of Champions which ended just two days earlier. WWE has already confirmed some matches and major stories will continue from where they left off.
Let’s look at the five storylines that will lead the way on this week’s WWE RAW.
1. The Effects of Night of Champions Will Be Seen Across RAW
Night of Champions 2025 took place in Riyadh on June 28. In the main highlights, Rhea Ripley defeated Raquel Rodriguez in a street fight. Sami Zayn picked up a shocking win against Karrion Kross. Both results came with strong reactions and now RAW will carry the next steps.
This episode will show what happens after these big wins. Fans can expect some major updates, new rivalries, and continued drama. WWE will use this show to start new angles and build towards upcoming events.
2. Goldberg Is Back to Take On Gunther
At Bad Blood 2024, Gunther embarrassed Goldberg in front of his family. That moment has led Goldberg to return and challenge him directly. Their match is now locked in for the July 12 episode of Saturday Night’s Main Event.
Last week on RAW, both men had a face-to-face moment where emotions ran high. This week their story will grow even stronger. It is expected that they will clash again before their match takes place.
3. The New Day Will Defend Their Tag Titles Against The Judgment Day
Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods are the current World Tag Team Champions. They are in their seventh title reign which is the highest in this category. On this episode of RAW, they will defend the belts against Finn Balor and JD McDonagh from The Judgment Day.
The Judgment Day wants to take the titles back to their group. The New Day wants to continue their reign and break more records. This title match will be one of the most important parts of the night.
4. Rusev and Sheamus Will Finally Settle Their Rivalry
Rusev and Sheamus used to be friends but things have changed since Rusev returned. Both men faced each other in the King of the Ring tournament where their tension was clear.
Now they will compete in a one-on-one match after eleven years. The issues between them are personal and this match is expected to be physical and emotional. Fans will get to see a proper fight between two former allies who are now enemies.
5. Becky Lynch Faces a New Challenge After Bayley and Lyra Clash
Becky Lynch defended her Women’s Intercontinental Title against Bayley on last week’s RAW. The match ended without a result after Lyra Valkyria suddenly attacked Becky. Bayley was upset with the interference and things got out of control.
Now WWE is hinting at a triple-threat match between Becky, Bayley, and Lyra at Evolution 2025. This week’s RAW may confirm how this new angle will shape up and what direction the story takes from here.
WWE RAW on June 30 will not be a regular episode. It is the first step after Night of Champions. Big matches are confirmed and top stars are involved in serious storylines. From Goldberg’s return to Becky’s title picture and Rusev’s return match with Sheamus, the show has strong reasons to watch from start to finish.
Anyone who follows WWE closely will find this episode full of real progress and exciting updates.
