While WWE Monday Night Raw is usually live every week, the 04-08-2025 Raw is a rare exception.WWE Rawfor 12/23 was filmed last week in Des Moines, IA, meaning that we already know all the winners and losers from the show.
Those who want to watch Raw tonight without any spoilers are advised to turn back, but those who just want to know the results can read on. Please note that this post will not have the usual match grades like we had forRaw on 29-05-2025, as these are advanced results. Therefore, we can’t judge the match quality. However, the Raw 12/23 spoilers will speak for themselves.

Here are the Raw 12/23 spoilers. Note that these spoilers are based on those who were at the show live, so not everything reported here may actually make it on TV.
Christmas Street Fight: Kevin Owens vs. Mojo Rawley
Winner:Kevin Owens. The big theme for Raw 12/23 is Christmas, for obvious reasons. The set is decorated to match the holiday, and there is even a holiday message fromJimmy Fallonand various WWE superstars. The first match is also Christmas-themed, with Kevin Owens taking on Mojo Rawley in a Christmas Street Fight. For those wondering why Kevin Owens and Mojo Rawley suddenly have beef, it dates back to Raw a couple of weeks ago when Owens was searching for The Authors of Pain backstage. Rawley mocked him during his search, prompting Owens to slap Rawley in the face.
After Owens defeats Rawley, he puts him through a table for good measure, and then calls out Seth Rollins and The Authors of Pain. All Owens gets for his trouble is yet another beatdown.
Bobby Lashley w/ Lana vs. Cedric Alexander
Winner:Bobby Lashley. Last week’s Raw saw Bobby Lashley propose to Lana live in the ring. For this week in the ongoing love triangle storyline, Lashley defeats Cedric Alexander. After the match, Lana reveals that her wedding with Lashley will take place on next week’s episode of Raw. Rusev will presumably interfere, which will hopefully lead to the final match between these two. Maybe it will even be the Last Man Standing Match that was booked forStarrcade 2019only to never take place.
Drew McIntyre vs. Zack Ryder w/ Curt Hawkins
Winner:Drew McIntyre. McIntyre beats Ryder easily and then brutalizes Curt Hawkins afterwards. McIntyre suggests in a promo that 2020 will be his year, so maybe a proper push is on the way for him yet.
Becky Lynch Challenges Asuka
Becky Lynch may be the Raw Women’s Champion, but she feels secondary toWomen’s Tag Team Champion Asuka, who she lost to in the main event of TLC 2019. On this episode of Raw, Lynch calls out Asuka and challenges her to a match, which she agrees to. Unfortunately, no other details will be hammered out on the episode.
Ricochet vs. Tony Nese
Winner:Ricochet. Ricochet beats Tony Nese. One may notice that a common theme between the matches of Raw for 22-05-2025 is that they all have fairly obvious winners and are more or less squash matches.
Aleister Black vs. Local Talent
Winner:Aleister Black. Not much to say about this, except that it does lead into…
Buddy Murphy vs. Local Talent
Winner:Buddy Murphy. After both Buddy Murphy and Aleister Black make short work of some local enhancement talent, the two have another confrontation. Black takes out Murphy again, with a rematch between the two scheduled for next week’s episode of Raw.
Charlotte Flair vs. Chelsea Green
Winner:Charlotte Flair. Chelsea Green is from NXT, so that’s why some fans who only watch Raw and SmackDown may not recognize her name. At any rate, Flair is able to defeat Green via submission.
Six-Man Tag Team Match: Randy Orton and The Viking Raiders vs. The OC
Winners:The OC. It seems as thoughThe Viking Raidersand The OC will be continuing their feud, which makes it seem as though the Viking Raiders' open challenges are over. That’s a little disappointing, especially since they don’t have terribly great chemistry with Karl Anderson and Luke Gallows. With this being a special Christmas episode of Raw, one might think that the faces would win this one easily, but The OC actually pick up the victory afterAJ Stylespins Orton.
Erick Rowan vs. Local Talent
Winner:Erick Rowan. Yet another squash match for this episode of Raw. It doesn’t make for terribly compelling television, but at least some independent wrestlers in the Des Moines area can get some TV time.
No Way Jose vs. Rusev
Winner:Rusev. Speaking of the Rusev/Lana/Lashley love triangle, Rusev is able to pick up a victory over No Way Jose. He then says that he is “happy” for Lashley and Lana. Expect Rusev to crash their wedding next week.
United States Championship Match: Rey Mysterio (c) vs. Seth Rollins
Winner:Rey Mysterio. The big main event ends in a disqualification after The Authors of Pain interfere and attack Mysterio. Following the match, Rollins and The AoP go to put Mysterio through the announce table, butSamoa Joesteps in the way. This might be a sign that Joe is going to return to the active roster, but that remains to be seen. Joe ends up getting beat down by both Rollins and The AoP to end the night.
Next week’s episode of Raw features aTLC 2019 rematchbetween Buddy Murphy and Aleister Black, plus the long-awaited wedding for Bobby Lashley and Lana. It will actually air live, so spoilers won’t be available come next week’s episode of Raw.
