WWE Raw Results 6/9 - World Heavyweight Title On The Line, First Round King & Queen Of The Ring Matches

Welcome to Wrestling Inc.'s results for "WWE Raw" on June 9, 2025, coming to you live from the PHX Arena in Phoenix, Arizona!

Jey Uso will be putting the World Heavyweight Championship on the line for the first time since retaining against Logan Paul at WWE Saturday Night's Main Event on May 24 as he defends against former titleholder GUNTHER. GUNTHER has made it clear over the course of the past several weeks that he would reinvoke his rematch clause to be next in line to receive a title shot, meeting Jey in a couple of verbal confrontations over the course of the past few weeks.

With WWE Night Of Champions rapidly approaching at the end of this month on June 28, the 2025 King and Queen Of The Ring Tournaments will be kicking off tonight. Roxanne Perez will be colliding with Rhea Ripley, Kairi Sane, and one half of the reigning WWE Women's Tag Team Champions Liv Morgan in a Fatal Four-Way First Round Queen Of The Ring Tournament Match, while Bron Breakker will be squaring off with Sami Zayn, Penta, and Intercontinental Champion Dominik Mysterio in a Fatal Four-Way First Round King Of The Ring Tournament Match. Last year's King and Queen Of The Ring Tournaments were won by the aforementioned GUNTHER and Nia Jax respectively.

Additionally, Nikki Bella will be making her first appearance in WWE since competing in the 2025 Women's Royal Rumble on February 1 with something on her mind to share. Undisputed WWE Champion John Cena will also be making an appearance on tonight's show after he and the aforementioned Paul came up short to the aforementioned Jey and Cody Rhodes at WWE Money In The Bank this past Saturday.

We are live! Michael Cole and Wade Barrett greet audiences at home before throwing it over to videos recapping some highlights from WWE Worlds Collide and WWE Money In The Bank.

John Cena then makes his way out to the ring.

Cena says fans teach him something every time they open their mouths, and what they taught him at Money In The Bank is that truth is a lie. He says fans opened their mouth and wasted their energy saving a "side show comedian whose greatest achievement is pretending to be" him. He asks fans if they thought that actually accomplished him, then calls them armchair activists with no real power to change anything. He says R-Truth is a gimmick that fans will not care about in a year, then says fans will never use him to benefit one of their pity parties again because it's his retirement tour and he only has 19 dates left.

Cena says his retirement tour is over halfway done, then tells the fans to send him real competition rather than the class clown. He says he has beaten everyone that the fans have cheered for from Truth to Cody Rhodes to Randy Orton.

CM Punk's music hits, and he makes his way out. He asks Cena if he's comfortable, then says he has a lot of things he wants to get off his chest and is prepared to talk to Cena through his fists. He tells Cena that he will listen to everything he has to say, then says it's ironic that Cena is trying to tear down the establishment that is WWE as he tries to defend it. He says he's not standing for TKO or defend the billionaires, but rather he wants to defend the people. He says the people picked him in 2011 to be "The Voice Of The Voiceless", then says it's his job to give them what they want. He says if they want Truth, then they will get Ron Killings. He says he knows that he's a spoke on the wheel like everyone else in WWE, and that includes Cena.

Punk warns Cena that he's coming for his Undisputed WWE Championship, then recalls their encounter in the 2025 Men's Elimination Chamber match and Cena telling him he was sorry when he had the STF locked in on him. He says Cena knows what he's doing is wrong, then says while everyone in the back should want to be Undisputed WWE Champion, few can actually do it. He says he sees now that he has to be a monster to defeat the monster, then says that the Undisputed WWE Championship belongs to the people. He says Cena has 19 dates left, then says he'll leave it up to Cena which one they'll face off for the Undisputed WWE Championship for but dares him to do so tonight. Cena agrees, but says he will instead defend the Undisputed WWE Championship at WWE Night of Champions rather than tonight.

Seth Rollins' music hits, and he makes his way to the ring with his Money In The Bank briefcase alongside Paul Heyman, Bron Breakker, and Bronson Reed.

American Made then make their way to the ring. AJ Styles follows.

The bell rings and the two lock up. Styles sends Gable crashing into the mat with an arm drag, but Gable catches Styles in a submission hold. Styles levels Gable with a dropkick, but Gable responds with a suplex to Styles on the outside of the ring. Gable then dumps Styles back inside the ring, then fires off right hands and stomps on him in the corner before landing a belly-to-belly suplex on Styles and going for a pin. Styles kicks out.

Gable cinches in an arm submission on Styles, but Styles fires off right hands on Gable. Gable responds with a German suplex and a diving headbutt off the top rope to Styles, then ascends up the ropes. Styles pulls him off with a powerbomb and sets up for a Styles Clash, but Julius helps Gable escape as Brutus distracts the referee. Styles lands a sliding knee on Julius off the apron and flies off it to level Brutus, but Gable cinches in an Ankle Lock on Styles when he gets back in the ring. Styles escapes by sending Gable crashing into the middle rope, then rolls through and transitions into a Styles Clash for the win.

Winner: AJ Styles

We then head backstage, where Roxanne Perez proposes an alliance to Liv Morgan in their upcoming Fatal Four-Way First Round Queen Of The Ring Tournament Match. Morgan declines to do so and Perez subsequently shakes her hand as she tells Morgan "may the best woman win." Morgan shakes her hand and tells her she will before both women head out to the ring. Kairi Sane and Rhea Ripley both follow. 

The bell rings and Perez brawls with Sane. Ripley goes straight after Morgan, but Perez jumps on Ripley's back to come to Morgan's aid. Sane jumps off Ripley's spine to level Perez, but Morgan catches Sane with a dropkick.

She goes for a pin, but Perez transitions into a pinfall of her own for the win.

Winner: Roxanne Perez

Becky Lynch then makes her way to the ring.

Lynch questions the fans as to where the "you deserve it" chants are, then says she doesn't need them to say it because she already knows that it's true. She says she should be celebrating becoming the new Women's Intercontinental Championship, especially since it's rare that she accomplishes something new in her career after doing it all.

Lynch says the Women's Intercontinental Championship has been welcomed to the big time because she's holding it, and while she should've been celebrating with her family, Lyra Valkyria ruined everything when she blindsided her with an attack after their Women's Intercontinental Championship match at Money In The Bank. She says Valkyria raised her hand so aggressively after the match to the point where she thought her shoulder was dislocated, then says she tried to be the bigger person by allowing Valkyria to put the Women's Intercontinental Championship around her waist only to be attacked by her. She demands Valkyria come to the ring to apologize to her and raise her hand the right way.

Valkyria's music hits, and she storms out to the ring. Bayley blindsides Lynch from behind and rains down right hands on her, but Lynch slides out of the ring. She heads up the ramp, but dumps into Valkyria who dumps her back inside. Bayley sets up for the Rose Plant, but Lynch escapes and retreats through the crowd.

Truth appears out of nowhere and stands on the announce desk. He tells fans not to let anyone tell them that their voice doesn't matter, then says WWE management heard the fans and rehired him because of them. He says he's back for all of the fans, but also for himself. He says fans didn't just bring Truth back, but they also brought back Ron Killings. He says everyone loves Truth, but he can be too funny, too nice, adn too forgiving sometimes. He says Ron Killings isn't, then says he's not a side show act or a gimmick. He puts down the microphone and takes out a pair of scissors, then cuts off his braids and holds them in his hands as he says the Truth has set him free. He says he's Ron Killings, and he's the whole truth and nothing but the truth.

Penta, Dominik Mysterio, Sami Zayn, Bron Breakker, and Paul Heyman then all make their way to the ring.

We then head over to a conversation between Cathy Kelley and AJ Styles about Chad Gable. Kelley then takes note of a conversation between Grayson Waller and New Day, but the trio immediately become secretive about the topic when Kelley approaches him.

Nikki Bella then makes her way down to the ring. 

Nikki says it's good to be back home and in the ring, then wastes no time addressing WWE Evolution and says the women's division is the best it's ever been.

Liv Morgan's music hits, and she storms to the ring. She says if Nikki is talking about the best in the women's division, then she better invoke her name and calls herself the most talented woman in the division. She rattles off some of her recent accomplishments, then says Nikki is lucky she wasn't around when she was wrestling full time because she would've beaten her. Morgan says Nikki is jealous of her because she has everything she doesn't in respect, a championship, and a man.

Nikki says she's trying to figure out if Dominik Mysterio belongs to Morgan or Perez, then tells Morgan to congratulate Perez for taking both her Women's World Championship shot and her man. She looks to leave, but Morgan stops her by calling her nothing more than a reality show diva. Nikki turns around, but Morgan catches her with an Oblivion.
