WWE Raw Results 8/11 - We Hear From CM Punk, Sami Zayn Collides With Rusev & More

Welcome to Wrestling Inc.'s live coverage for "WWE Raw" on August 11, 2025, coming to you live from the Centre Videotron in Quebec City, Quebec, Canada!

Although Seth Rollins may have stunned the world when he cashed in his Men's Money In The Bank briefcase to dethrone the newly crowned CM Punk as World Heavyweight Championship, Punk inadvertently helped Rollins retain his World Heavyweight Championship when he caused Rollins' defense against LA Knight to end in a disqualification due to interference on his part. In the moments that followed, a major brawl broke out between Punk, Knight, Roman Reigns, Rollins, and Rollins' allies Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed. As the tensions between the two archrivals continue to meteorically be on the rise once again, Punk has something on his mind to share as he opens "Raw" tonight.

Following his win against reigning United States Champion Solo Sikoa this past Friday on "WWE SmackDown", Sami Zayn looks to score another win tonight as he goes one-on-one with Rusev. The two men encountered one another last week when Rusev and Sheamus – who had been brawling with each other backstage throughout the night after a match between them ended in a double countout – interrupted an interview between Zayn and "Raw" interviewer Jackie Redmond.

Maxxine Dupri will be competing in her first match on "Raw" since listing a Women's World Championship Number One Contenders Battle Royal on the November 4, 2024 episode of "Raw" as she collides with reigning Women's Intercontinental Champion Becky Lynch. Lynch and Dupri came face-to-face in a brief verbal exchange with one another backstage last Monday, with Nikki Bella having made it clear to Lynch that she had her eye on her title in a separate in-ring verbal confrontation.

Additionally, although Naomi was scheduled to defend her Women's World Heavyweight Championship against the aforementioned SKY tonight, WWE announced on their X page earlier today that she had no longer been medically cleared for action.

We are live! The show kicks off with a video recapping the recent ongoings between Seth Rollins, LA Knight, Roman Reigns, and CM Punk.

Michael Cole and Corey Graves then greet audiences at home as CM Punk makes his way to the ring.

We Hear From CM Punk

Punk says it's great to be alive on a Monday Night in Quebec City, then says he should be World Heavyweight Champion for the fans but he isn't. He says he has a Seth Rollins problem, and while Rollins is trying his best to impersonate him, he's failing miserably. He says if anyone thought he was relentless and obsessed with becoming champion before, he's even more obsessed now. He says he understands Rollins cashing in, but he still hates Rollins. He says Rollins is pretending to be him by faking an injury, then promises he will dethrone him as World Heavyweight Champion and says he will break his legs.

LA Knight's music hits, and he makes his way out. He shakes hands with Punk, then says he wants to talk to the fans. He says Punk was robbed at SummerSlam, then says Punk deserves to have his rematch for the World Heavyweight Champion. Knight then calls out Punk for costing him his own shot at the World Heavyweight Championship last week, and says while he gets where Punk was coming from, it was the wrong place at the wrong time. He says himself and Punk don't have a problem, but he needs Punk to stay out of his way and do what he needs to do after the bell rings as he continues going after Rollins.

Punk says Knight should be thanking him for preventing Rollins from ending his career last week, then asserts that he saved Knight's career. He says he should be the next Number One Contender for the World Heavyweight Championship, but Knight says that unlike Punk, he's never been a World Champion. He says Punk isn't on his level, then reiterates that he doesn't want to have a problem with Punk. He says he can forget about last week as long as Punk doesn't stop over the line, then tells Punk to let him be the one to dethrone Rollins in order to receive the first shot at the World Heavyweight Championship.

Punk tells Knight that he's the "Best In The World", but before he can continue, Paul Heyman interrupts the two men and makes his way to the ring along with Bronson Reed and Bron Breakker. Heyman takes shots at the two men, but Punk dares Heyman to get in the ring with him. Heyman responds by challenging Punk and Knight to a match against Breakker and Reed on their behalf. Punk accepts Heyman's challenge, but Knight says Punk can't talk for him before he accepts the challenge himself.

Breakker then looks to go after Punk and Knight, but Reed holds him back.
