WWE Raw Results 9/22 - Bayley Takes On Roxanne Perez, Six Man No Disqualification Match & More

Welcome to Wrestling Inc.'s live coverage for "WWE Raw" on September 22, 2025, coming to you live from the Ford Center in Evansville, Indiana at a special start time of 7 PM ET!

Roxanne Perez will in action tonight as she goes head-to-head with Bayley in what will mark the latter's first televised match since herself and Lyra Valkyria unsuccessfully challenged Perez and her Judgment Day stablemate Raquel Rodriguez for their then-Women's Tag Team Championship on the July 21 episode of "Raw". After Perez lost to Valkyria during last Monday's "Raw", Bayley came to Valkyria's aid when Perez and Rodriguez launched a post-match beatdown on her. Bayley subsequently hugged several people at ringside, but acted cold towards Valkyria when she yelled at her later that same night.

Grayson Waller will be joining forces with Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods of New Day to square off with Penta and The War Raiders' Ivar and Erik in a Six Man No Disqualification Match. Tensions among the six men have continued to rise over the course of the past few weeks, with Penta scoring a win over Kingston last Monday in singles competition.

Additionally, Stephanie Vaquer has something on her mind to share after defeating IYO SKY to win the vacant Women's World Championship at WWE Wrestlepalooza this past Saturday. Cody Rhodes will also be appearing in the opening moments of tonight's show after retaining his Undisputed WWE Championship against Drew McIntyre at Wrestlepalooza.

We are live! The show kicks off with a video recapping home of the highlights from Wrestlepalooza.

Wade Barrett and Joe Tessitore greet audiences at home as Cody Rhodes makes his way to the ring.

Rhodes asks Evansville what they want to talk about, then says they could talk about his Crown Jewel Championship ring. He then addresses his upcoming Crown Jewel Championship defense against Seth Rollins at WWE Crown Jewel on October 11.

Rollins' music hits, and he makes his way to the ring along with Paul Heyman, Bronson Reed, and Bron Breakker. He says from the moment himself and Rhodes walked out of WWE SummerSlam as World Heavyweight Champion and Undisputed WWE Champion, he's had Crown Jewel circled on his calendar. He says he knows what the fans think about him, then says what he wants to know from Rhodes is what he truly thinks of him.

Rhodes tells Rollins that he has complicated feelings towards him when it shouldn't be that way, then he's made some questionable choices such as aligning with Paul Heyman. He says Rollins changed his life by standing across the ring from him at WWE WrestleMania 38 without really knowing him and continued doing so in Hell In A Cell and at WWE WrestleMania 40. He says the Rollins that could've been the best didn't hide behind the rest of The Vision.

Rollins points out his watch and says Rhodes gave it to him at WrestleMania 40. He says he hasn't worn it once since then, then asks Rhodes if it was a real gift or just a gesture. He says Rhodes talks a lot in interviews about being the right person to lead WWE in the future, and if Rhodes believes that in his core, then what does that say about him. He says there's two possibilities: Rhodes doesn't think he's good enough or doesn't think that he's as good as him. He says The Vision isn't just a group of people, but a group that looks ahead to the future of the professional wrestling industry which filters all through him. He says Rhodes can be the quarterback, but he'll be Rollins' quarterback and the truth will come out at Crown Jewel by any means necessary when Rhodes finds out he's the creator. He says it's not a two man show because he's the alpha.

Rhodes asks Rollins if their Crown Jewel match will be one-on-one like all their other battles, then asks Rollins how many of their matches he's won.

New Day and Grayson Waller then make their way to the ring. Penta and The War Raiders follow. 

The bell rings and all six men begin brawling with one another. Penta and The War Raiders look to take flight, but New Day and Waller move out of the way. Kingston and Waller beat down Erik and Penta on the outside as Ivar drags Woods into the ring.

Ivar lands a senton on Woods, but Kingston connects with a roundhouse kick to his head. He sends Erik crashing into the mat and looks to land a kick on him, but Erik sees him coming and rocks him with a knee strike. Waller hits Erik across the spine with a kendo stick, but Penta grabs it from Waller and hits him with it twice. Penta then uses Erik as a launch pad to take flight over the top rope and level Kingston and Woods on the outside as Ivar lands a crossbody on Waller that sends him crashing into the ring apron.

Back from the break, New Day and Waller fire off stomps on Penta. Penta sends Waller crashing over the top rope and delivers a hurricanrana to Woods, but Woods trips Penta on the ring apron and rains down right hands on him on top of a table. Kingston then flies off the top rope with a double leg drop to send Penta crashing through the table.

Woods and Kingston drag Ivar up to the top rope as Erik levels Waller with a headbutt and pulls Woods and Kingston off the top rope. Waller clotheslines himself and Erik out of the ring, and Ivar looks to land a moonsault off the top rope on Woods and Kingston. Woods and Kingston move out of the way, and Kingston lands a senton on Ivar as Woods holds him through the bottom rope.

Ivar lands a sit-out powerbomb on Waller on the apron, but Woods hits Ivar with a kendo stick and looks to hit Erik with it. Erik sees Woods coming and sends him crashing into the ring apron, but Kingston delivers a crossbody to Erik off the ring steps. Back in the ring, Kingston looks to send Penta crashing through the table in the corner. Penta stops his momentum and sends Kingson crashing through the table with a suplex. Waller teeters on the ropes with Penta, but Penta connects with a Mexican Destroyer off the middle rope for the win.

Winners: Penta and The War Raiders

We then head over to Judgment Day's lounge, where Dominik Mysterio complains to Finn Balor about Rusev wanting a shot at his Intercontinental Championship. Balor tells Dominik to talk to El Grande Americano, but Dominik says Americano is in Mexico. Dominik then asks JD McDonagh for help, but McDonagh looks to decline until Roxanne Perez talks him into it. 

We then head backstage, where Bayley approaches Lyra Valkyria to be in her corner in her match against Perez. Valkyria questions why Bayley is asking her after yelling at her last week, but agrees to corner her if it really means that much to Bayley. 

Adam Pearce introduces Vaquer, and she makes her way to the ring. He congratulates Vaquer on becoming the new Women's World Champion, and Vaquer says this is her dream. She says it felt impossible at times, but she worked for it and made it happened. She says she beat one of the best in the world in IYO SKY, then says she learned from her hero and the best example she had: her father. She says every one of the fans celebrated with her at Wrestlepalooza, then says they cried with her and thanks them for their support. She says no one can stop her as Women's World Champion.

Adam Pearce brings up Tiffany Stratton defending her WWE Women's Championship against Nia Jax and Jade Cargill on "WWE SmackDown" this Friday and the winner having to face Vaquer for the Women's Crown Jewel Championship at Crown Jewel. Vaquer promises to be on "SmackDown" this Friday.

Bayley and Lyra Valkyria then make their way to the ring. Roxanne Perez and Raquel Rodriguez follow.

The bell rings and the two lock up. Perez shoves Bayley in the corner, but Bayley trips Perez before she lands a suplex on her. She delivers a shoulder to her midsection, but Perez drapes Bayley by her knees off the middle rope and fires off stomps on her. She lands a stomp on Bayley's midsection, then jams her knee into the back of her neck using the middle rope during the commercial break.

Rodriguez lands a cheap right hand on Bayley and Perez looks to land a springboard moonsault off the ropes. Bayley moves out of the way, then lands an elbow drop on Perez off the middle rope back from the break and goes for a pin. Perez kicks out.

Bayley ascends to the top rope, but Perez joins her up there and connects with a hurricanrana on her. She follows it up with a flipping knee to Bayley and goes for a pin, but Bayley kicks out. Perez connects with a Russian Leg Sweep on Bayley, then looks to fly through the middle rope. Bayley catches Perez with a right hand, but Perez responds with a Pop Rox to Bayley on the floor. The referee begins a ten count, but both women beat it.

Perez gets in the referee's face as Rodriguez runs over Bayley with a boot on the outside. Valkyria goes after Rodrgiuez, but Valkyria sends Rodriguez crashing into the ring post. Perez takes out Valkyria, but Bayley suddenly becomes enraged. She drags Perez into the ring and tries to calm herself down, but lands a Bayley-To-Belly on Perez. She follows it up with a knee strike and Rose Plant for the win.

After the match, Valkyria hugs Bayley. Bayley shoves her and asks Valkyria if she thought she could really touch her.

JD McDonagh and Dominik Mysterio then make their way to the ring. Rusev follows.

He sends McDonagh crashing into the barricade face first and lands a kick on his spine, but McDonagh sends Rusev crashing into the ring post and follows it up with a springboard moonsault off the middle rope.

During the commercial break, McDonagh fires off knees on Rusev's knee and lands a pair of double knees on it off the middle rope. Rusev sends McDonagh crashing into the mat, then fires off kicks on his chest and spine. McDonagh runs over Rusev with a running knee and fires off right hands and left hands on him, then delivers a moonsault off the top rope back from the break and goes for a pin. Rusev kicks out.

McDonagh delivers a couple of clotheslines to Rusev, but Rusev delivers the Machka Kick to McDonagh and cinches in The Accolade on him. A conflicted Dominik decides to stay on the apron and watch on doing nothing as McDonagh taps out.

Winner: Rusev

After the match, Balor takes out Rusev and helps McDonagh to the back with Dominik as he questions why Dominik did nothing to help McDonagh.
