WWE Makes Big Moves for 'Final Raw'
As we dive into the exhilarating world of WWE, fans everywhere are buzzing about the monumental matches set for December 29, 2025. "Monday Night Raw" has announced two significant title bouts that could change the landscape of wrestling as we know it.
In one corner, we have the incredible duo of AJ Styles and Dragon Lee, who will defend their WWE World Tag Team Championship against the formidable Usos—Jey and Jimmy Uso, who are making their return to tag team action. This showdown promises high-octane action, as both teams seek not just victory, but to solidify their legacies in WWE history.
The Divas of Destruction
In the women's division, the reigning champion, Stephanie Vaquer, will face an intense triple threat match against Raquel Rodriguez and Nikki Bella. This match-up promises to deliver intrigue and fierce competition, all under the spotlight as these powerful women vie for supremacy. Vaquer's recent championship defenses have shown her resilience and tactical prowess, but the stakes have never been higher.
With Bella's history as a former champion, her return adds an electrifying element. The ongoing narrative between these competitors, especially with Raquel and Nikki's past confrontations, builds a riveting layer of drama that fans can't afford to miss. Vaquer, having been embroiled in conflict with both women, is poised for one of her toughest battles yet.
What Led to These Epic Matches?
The buildup to these title matches comes from a series of events that have unfolded on "Raw" in recent weeks. The Usos announced their comeback to the tag team division, creating waves of excitement. Their initial victory over The New Day's Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods earned them the title shot against Styles and Lee.
In the women's division, the dynamic between Vaquer, Rodriguez, and Bella reached a fever pitch after an incident where both contenders attacked Vaquer during a championship defense, leading to Vaquer's demand for this triple threat match in a dramatic backstage segment. This has set the stage for an explosive climax that will resonate through the upcoming weeks.
Titles on the Line in Upcoming Weeks
But there's more! WWE's planning for an action-packed schedule ahead. Over the next two weeks, "Monday Night Raw" will feature five total championship matches, including a title clash between CM Punk and Bron Breakker. As the new year kicks off, also look out for the WWE Women's Intercontinental Championship rematch between Maxxine Dupri and Becky Lynch. And for good measure, a WWE Women's Tag Team Championship match featuring the Kabuki Warriors and their challengers, Iyo Sky and Rhea Ripley, rounds out an exhilarating start to 2026.
Looking Ahead
It's clear that WWE is prioritizing fan engagement with high-stakes matches that promise to deliver excitement and unforgettable moments. As we approach the end of 2025, the drama, rivalry, and athleticism on display feel particularly compelling. Each of these matches not only showcases incredible talent but tells a story that captivates audiences.
Wrestling fans should gear up for an unforgettable evening filled with twists and turns. Who will emerge victorious? Only time will tell, but one thing's for sure: WWE is set for a spectacular finale as we bid farewell to another year in the ring.
