WWE Raw Results 5/12 - Giulia & Roxanne Perez Face Rhea Ripley & IYO SKY, Finn Balor Takes On AJ Styles

Welcome to Wrestling Inc.'s results for "WWE Raw" on May 12, 2025, coming to you live from the KFC Yum! Center in Louisville, Kentucky!

"NXT" stars and former NXT Women's Champions Giulia and Roxanne Perez will be joining forces once again tonight as they collide with Rhea Ripley and reigning Women's World Champion IYO SKY. Not only did SKY defeat Perez in singles action during last week's edition of "Raw", but Perez and Giulia blindsided SKY with an attack after the match had concluded.

As they both look to be the next team to challenge New Day for the WWE World Tag Team Championship, Julius Creed and Brutus Creed of American Made will be going head-to-head with The War Raiders' Erik and Ivar. The War Raiders emerged victorious over Finn Balor and JD McDonagh of Judgment Day two weeks ago on "Raw", while Julius and Brutus' last tag team match came on "Raw" came on March 17 when they came up short to LWO members Rey Mysterio and Dragon Lee.

Another member of American Made will be in action tonight, as Chad Gable squares off with Penta. Penta unsuccessfully challenged Dominik Mysterio for the Intercontinental Championship this past Saturday at WWE Backlash, with Gable's close ally El Grande Americano ultimately costing him the match when he sent him crashing off the ropes with a headbutt using the metal piece in his mask that he tends to favor.

As he prepares to defend the World Heavyweight Championship at Saturday Night's Main Event on May 24 against Logan Paul, Jey Uso will be appearing on tonight's show with something on his mind to share. After Jey had retained his title against Seth Rollins last week thanks to a disqualification resulting from the actions of Sami Zayn, Bron Breakker, and CM Punk, Paul blindsided Jey with an attack in the moments that followed the match and "Raw" going off the air.

Additionally, AJ Styles will be competing in his first match since coming up short against the aforementioned Paul at WrestleMania 41 as he takes on the aforementioned Balor. The aforementioned Punk will also be appearing on "Raw" for the first time since he and Roman Reigns came up short against Seth Rollins in a Triple Threat Match at WrestleMania thanks to the betrayal of his former mentor Paul Heyman.

We are live! Michael Cole and Pat McAfee greet audiences at home as CM Punk makes his way down to the ring.

Punk says it's great to be alive on a Monday night in Louisville, then says he is pissed off but a fortunate man. He says he's nursed a few injuries, but he can't shake being pissed off. He says he has a lot of enemies and it's easier to list off those who he isn't mad at, but at the top of the list of people he's angry at is himself because he's been there before. He says this isn't the first time Paul Heyman stabbed him in the back, then says 12 years ago, Heyman smashed a ladder into his head and caused him to need staples in his head. He says he thought Heyman and himself had grown and moved past that, but Heyman is still a snake. He says Heyman knows how things end, and he can't wait to get his hands on Heyman.

Heyman interrupts Punk and appears on the ramp, and Punk dares Heyman to step in the ring as he warns him that whatever his next words are will be his last. Seth Rollins and Bron Breakker join Rollins on the entrance ramp, and Rollins tells Punk just when he thought Punk couldn't get anymore selfish or egotistical, he tops himself. He says Heyman was Punk's best friend, but he made his life hell and is now in front of the entire world gaslighting everyone into thinking Heyman betrayed Punk. He says Heyman believed in Punk for years when no one else did, then calls Punk scum and trash. He says just when he thought he couldn't hate Punk anymore, he stands in the ring as the reason he isn't World Heavyweight Champion after last week.

Punk says Rollins will never be champion as long as he's on two feet, and Rollins asks Punk what his deal is. He questions if Punk loves suffering and being on the wrong side of history, then comes to the realization that Punk loves to play the victim and say "cry me a river".

Breakker slides into the ring and rains down right hands on Punk, and Rollins joins in. Jey Uso and Sami Zayn come to Punk's aid as Zayn and Punk grab chairs, forcing Rollins and Breakker to back down.

Penta then makes his way out to the ring. Chad Gable and Ivy Nile follow.

The bell rings and Penta goes straight after Gable. He fires off strikes and elbows on Gable, but Gable looks to remove Penta's mask. Penta prevents Gable from doing so and lands an arm drag on Gable off the ropes, but Gable responds when he flies off the middle rope.

Gable once again looks to remove Penta's mask, but Penta prevents Gable from doing so once again. Gable wears down Penta's arm down with a submission hold, then follows it up with a Northern Lights suplex and looks to fly off the middle rope with a diving headbutt. Penta intercepts Gable with a Codebreaker.

Gable delivers a moonsault to Penta off the middle rope and transitions into an Ankle Lock, but Penta quickly escapes and rocks Gable with a superkick. Penta and Gable then teeter on the ropes, but Penta hits the Mexican Destroyer on Gable off the middle rope for the win.

Winner: Penta

New Day then makes their way down to the ring to watch the following match. American Made and The War Raiders follow.

Erik and Julius Creed begin the action. The bell rings and the two lock up. Ivar tags in and delivers a bodyslam to Julius, then tags in Erik. Ivar lands a bodyslam on Julius, and Erik lands a bodyslam on Brutus. Erik then bodyslams Ivar on top of Julius before Julius hits a suplex on Erik on the outside.

Julius dumps Erik back in the ring, but Ivar tags in and delivers a back body drop to him. He lands a low crossbody on him. Erik then tags in and delivers a suplex to an interfering Brutus, then lands a second one on Julius and tags out to Ivar. Erik sends Ivar crashing onto Gable in the corner, but Xavier Woods distracts Erik on the outside. Kofi Kingston goes after Ivar on the ropes, opening the door for Julius to get Ivar in an Electric Chair position and Brutus to land the Brutus Ball for the win.

Winners: American Made

Jey Uso then makes his way down to the ring.

Jey says he's now in Louisville, then says he has something to get off his chest. He says Logan Paul is talking out the side of his neck saying he isn't championship material, but the main event is now Paul facing him.

GUNTHER's music hits and he makes his way down to the ring. He says the unimaginable has happened with Jey as World Heavyweight Champion, and Jey reminds GUNTHER he made him tap out at WrestleMania 41 to win the title. He says he knows what it's like to be a champion and all the pressure that comes with it, but because he understands, it doesn't mean his opinion about Jey has changed. He says he can tell Jey isn't comfortable and isn't a natural champion, then says as Adam Pearce told him before he came to the ring, he gets the next shot at the World Heavyweight Champion.

Jey says he's in his place and reminds GUNTHER that "Raw" is his place, then holds up the World Heavyweight Championship.

Back from the break, we head over to a conversation between Jackie Redmond and Ludwig Kaiser. The pair get interrupted by a loud noise, and we see Jey Uso laid out as Bron Breakker walks away from him. Sami Zayn, CM Punk, and other officials then check on Jey.

Back at ringside, Judgment Day makes their way out. AJ Styles follow.

The bell rings and the two lock up. They take turns locking in submission holds on one another, but Balor lands a shotgun dropkick on Styles and fires off strikes on Styles in the corner. Styles fires off chops on Balor, but Balor responds with a series of stomps on Styles using the ropes for assistance.

Balor locks in an Abdominal Stretch on Styles as he jams his elbow into his oblique, but Styles sends Balor crashing into the mat with a Death Valley Driver. McDonagh hops up on the apron, opening the door for Balor to roll up Styles. Styles kicks out and lands a kick on Balor's head, then fires off chops on his chest. Balor cinches in an Armbar on Styles, then tangles him up in the ropes and fires off right hands on his midsection. Styles then sends Balor crashing into the mat.

Balor and Styles teeter on the ropes, but Styles lands a superplex on Balor. Balor looks to land an enzuigiri on Styles, but Styles transitions into the Calf Crusher. Balor crawls over to the bottom rope to break the hold, but Styles levels Balor with a clothesline. Balor responds with a Sling Blade and shotgun dropkicks him into the corner, then ascends to the top rope and sets up for the Coup De Grace. Styles moves out of the way and cinches the Calf Crusher in once again, then rolls through and hits the Styles Clash on Balor. He goes for a pin, but Balor kicks out.

Carlito hops up on the apron to distract the referee as McDonagh goes after Styles. Styles takes out McDonagh and delivers a sliding knee to him off the apron, but Balor takes advantage and delivers a Sidewalk Slam to Styles. He goes for a pin, but Styles kicks out as Penta flies off the barricade with a crossbody to level Carlito. He goes after McDonagh and delivers a Mexican Destroyer to Carlito off McDonagh's back, opening the door for Styles to deliver the Phenomenal Forearm for the win.

Winner: AJ Styles

Becky Lynch then makes her way down to the ring.

Lynch says after her Women's Intercontinental Championship match against Lyra Valkyria at Backlash, one of them ended up in the hospital while the other celebrated with a shower and a shot of tequila. She says she's always been for the people and stepped away the last time she was critized for going after the title because fans carried her to the main event of WrestleMania 35, but she won and the fans could no longer see themselves in her. She recalls a conversation between her and a friend in which she realized she liked herself more away from the ring because she didn't have to listen to the fans, then continues to rag on the fans as she makes it clear that she feels as though she's better off without them.

Giulia and Roxanne Perez then make their way out to the ring. Rhea Ripley and IYO SKY follow.

SKY and Perez begin the action. The bell rings and SKY cinches in a side headlock on Perez. Giulia tags in and Perez takes a cheap kick on SKY from the apron, but Ripley pulls her into the ring and lands a dropkick on her.
