WWE Raw Results 8/4 - Becky Lynch, Charlotte Flair & Alexa Bliss All Appear, Rusev Takes On Sheamus
Welcome to Wrestling Inc.'s results for "WWE Raw" on August 4, 2025, coming to you live from the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York!
Becky Lynch retained her Women's Intercontinental Championship against Lyra Valkyria in a No Count Out, No Disqualification Match yesterday at Night Two of WWE SummerSlam thanks to some inadvertent assistance from Bayley, causing Valkyria to not be able to challenger her for the title. Following such, Lynch will be appearing on tonight's show with something on her mind to share.
Although Alexa Bliss and Charlotte Flair were unable to dethrone Raquel Rodriguez and Roxanne Perez as Women's Tag Team Champions in a Fatal Four-Way Match at WWE Evolution on July 13, they were successful in doing so at Night one of SummerSlam on Saturday. Both Bliss and Flair are set to make appearances on tonight's show after their notable victory during the inaugural two night SummerSlam Premium Live Event.
Rusev and Sheamus have had their fair share of issues with one another over the course of the past few weeks, with the former defeating the latter on the June 30 episode of "Raw" only for the latter to seek his retribution on the July 21 edition of "Raw" with a win of his own. Tonight, Sheamus and Rusev look to determine once and for all who the better man is when they go one-on-one with each other again.
Additionally, "Raw" General Manager Adam Pearce has promised to have a "stiff conversation" with new World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins after Rollins revealed that he was never actually injured and cashed in his 2025 Men's Money In The Bank briefcase against CM Punk at Night One of SummerSlam.
We are live! Michael Cole and Corey Graves greet audiences at home as Seth Rollins, Paul Heyman, Bronson Reed, and Bron Breakker then make their way to the ring.
We Hear From Seth Rollins, Paul Heyman, Bronson Reed and Bron Breakker
Rollins hugs Reed, Breakker, and Heyman before Heyman introduces himself and says he's humbled to stand in the presence of the future of WWE: Breakker and Reed. He says he could be introducing Roman Reigns or CM Punk, then says Punk had one of the greatest matches ever with GUNTHER on Saturday at SummerSlam. He says he celebrated with fans after dethroning GUNTHER as World Heavyweight Champion and thought he'd be married to it forever, but Rollins stole the title from Punk and formally introduces Rollins.
Rollins grabs the microphone and says all the fans who turned their backs on him after he won his WrestleMania 41 match, cheered for Punk, and cheered for Reigns should be ashamed. He tells the fans to never doubt him again, then says he always has a Plan B and says this Plan B was a top secret one. He says the only people he told about his plan were his wife Becky Lynch and Heyman, then says he's achieved what he set out to with Heyman, Breakker, and Reed. He says himself, Heyman, Breakker, and Reed have absolute power and no one can stop him.
LA Knight's music hits, and he makes his way out. He congratulates Rollins, Heyman, Breakker, and Reed, then says he's not in the ring for a fight but rather to answer some questions. He says a lot of people are wondering why Rollins had to fake an injury, then says Rollins was faking the injury to get out of his match with him at WWE Saturday Night's Main Event on July 12. He says Rollins is a visionary with no vision, and as he was enjoying his vacation, he realized what Rollins did and had to come to Brooklyn. He says he was the last to beat Rollins and will be the next to beat him, then says Rollins gave him the ammunition to hurt him way worse than he could've by taking the World Heavyweight Championship from him tonight.
Rollins declines Knight's challenge to a title match, but Adam Pearce appears and says he would normally not make a World Heavyweight Championship with no promotion. He says normally a Superstar doesn't lie to the medical staff week after week or to their general manager, then makes a World Heavyweight Championship match between Rollins and Knight official for the main event tonight as Breakker and Reed are barred from being at ringside.
