WWE Raw Results (8/18/25): Naomi Announces Pregnancy, Roman Reigns Returns To Help Jey, Becky Beats Nattie

What will Naomi have to say to the WWE Universe when she addresses the audience for the first time since being medically uncleared to defend her WWE Women's World Championship last week?
The world finds out tonight on WWE Raw.
Naomi missed her title defense against Iyo Sky last week and instead Sky took an impromptu match against Roxanne Perez and lost due to mismanaged help from The Kabuki Warriors. Is Iyo Sky still owed a singles match for the championship?

Stephanie Vaquer is also owed a world championship match from Naomi at WWE Clash at Paris. How will the events of last week impact that match? Naomi will address the WWE Raw audience for the first time in two weeks, so answers are on the way.
In addition to hearing from the women's world champion this week on Raw, we'll hear from the Seth Rollins -- the men's WWE World Heavyweight Champion -- as well. Adam Pearce ended last week by putting Rollins in a fatal four-way match for his championship at WWE Clash in Paris. That match will include Jey Uso, LA Knight, and Seth Rollins rival CM Punk.

Will Seth work to push back at the powers at be for this match? What will Punk, Knight, and Uso have to say about it? Will those three men keep their distance ahead of the championship match?
In match action this week, Becky Lynch will defend her WWE Women's Intercontinental Championship against Natalya. Lynch took care of business last week and defeated Maxxine Dupri. Natalya is a level up in competition, though. How will Lynch respond?
Other matches include Jey Uso vs. Bron Breakker and Penta vs. Xavier Woods.
