Raw Teasers Reveal WrestleMania 42, SNME Build

Monday’s WWE Raw in Anaheim served as the final show before Saturday Night’s Main Event on Nov. 1, 2025 and ran cryptic teasers that culminated in a reveal of WrestleMania 42 in Las Vegas rather than surprise returns. The episode staged a heated in-ring promo between CM Punk and Jey Uso — Punk taunted Uso as 'Little Roman' while Uso showed a darker edge — continuing the build toward the SNME World Heavyweight picture. Penta faced Rusev in a No. 1 contender match for Dominik Mysterio’s Intercontinental Championship that was marred by outside interference and ended in disqualification. The Women’s Tag Title match featured Bayley & Lyra Valkyria against champions Charlotte Flair & Alexa Bliss, and Nikki Bella returned to face Roxanne Perez. Backstage segments advanced Paul Heyman’s faction storyline with Bronson Reed and Bron Breakker teasing a new direction, and fans expressed frustration at the tease-heavy promotional approach.
