The WWE Money in the Bank 2025 fallout edition of WWE Raw is set to be a big one. Not only will this week's show feature a WWE World Heavyweight Championship Match between Jey Uso and Gunther, but it will mark a rare appearance by Undisputed WWE Champion, John Cena.

What will Cena say after picking up the loss in a tag team match with Logan at Money in the Bank against Cody Rhodes and Jey Uso? Cena is scheduled to address the WWE Raw audience live and anything can be on his mind with Night of Champions looming at the end of the month.

WWE Raw this week will also feature the start of the King and Queen of the Ring tournaments. Two fatal four-way matches will kickoff the annual WWE tournaments that will conclude at Night of Champions. In the Queen of the Ring tournament, Liv Morgan vs. Kairi Sane vs. Roxanne Perez vs. Rhea Ripley is the opening match.

As for the King of the Ring Tournament, that opening match will be Dominik Mysterio vs. Bron Breakker vs. Penta vs. Sami Zayn.

Also on the show this week, WWE Hall of Famer Nikki Bella is scheduled to make her WWE return. Bella reportedly has a special announcement for the WWE Universe.

-WWE ran a long highlight package that documented the company's busy weekend with clips from both Worlds Collide and Money in the Bank.

-John Cena made his way to the ring and ran down the audience for thinking they had a hand in bringing R-Truth back to WWE. Cena told them they should have chanted for someone else that could give Cena some competition. CM Punk made his entrance.

-Punk told John Cena that the Undisputed WWE Championship has made him a monster and that it made him a monster when he had it. Punk said he would become a monster to save wrestling from Cena. Punk challenged Cena to a title match and Cena said it would happen at Night of Champions. Punk agreed.

-Seth Rollins walked to the entrance ramp and taunted Cena by holding up his Money in the Bank briefcase.

-AJ Styles defeated Chad Gable with a Styles Clash

-Roxanne Perez approached Liv Morgan backstage ahead of their fatal four-way Queen of the RIng. Perez told Morgan she had a plan, but Morgan dismissed it and said the only plan was for her to win the Queen of the Ring tournament.

-Roxanne Perez defeated Rhea Ripley, Liv Morgan, and Kairi Sane to advance in the Queen of the Ring tournament. Perez snuck in the ring and laid a quick pin on Sane to win an exciting match from all four participants.

-Becky Lynch walked to the ring with her newly won WWE Women's World Championship. Lynch said that the title has never meant more than it does now that it was on her shoulder. Lyra Valkyria walked out to the ring when Lynch asked her to raise her arm again. Valkyria looked like she was heading down to attack, but a returning Bayley attacked from behind instead.

-After Becky Lynch ran off from the Bayley attack, a hooded figure grabbed a microphone and stood on the Raw announce desk. It was R-Truth. Truth thanked fans for their voice in bringing him back, but then said the Truth set him free. He cut his long hair off with scissors and told the world he was Ron Killings.

-Sami Zayn defeated Bron Breakker, Dominik Mysterio, and Penta to advance in the King of the Ring tournament. Breakker was taken out by LA Knight during the match and then Zayn hit Dominik with the Helluva Kick to get the victory.

-The New Day was interviewed by Cathy Kelly backstage and said that they were looking for the perfect new contenders for their tag team titles. They said they elevate the titles and for Kelly to stop asking them annoying questions every week.

-WWE aired a special hype video for the return of Asuka.

-Nikki Bella made her return to WWE and told the Phoenix crowd she was happy to be back in WWE. She put over the current women's division, but left out Liv Morgan's name. Morgan then walked to the ring and said Bella was jealous of her. She said that all Bella would be was a reality show diva. Bella tried to run back and attack Morgan, but Morgan hit Oblivion on her as she tried to get into the ring.

-Michael Cole announced that CM Punk vs. John Cena for the WWE Undisputed Championship is official for WWE Night of Champions in Saudi Arabia.

-Gunther defeated Jey Uso to win the WWE World Heavyweight Championship. At WrestleMania 41, Jey Uso choked Gunther out, but this time it was Gunther who had the choke locked in place. After numerous counters back and forth, Gunther locked Jey in the hold and the champion passed out.

-Gunther celebrated his championship win as pyro went off behind him and the show faded to black.
