WWE Raw is fresh off an "epic" SNME event, where the fans witnessed Gunther end the career of John Cena by making him tap out. However, the biggest talking point in the IWC is who was that hooded assailant who heinously attacked LA Knight last week and screwed CM Punk in that War Games Match. Austin Theory seems to be the answer, as he was a long term plan to be in the Vision due to his prior association with Seth Rollins. CM Punk will, in fact, kick off the show to address that situation and silence Bron Breakker after he bad mouthed his wife, AJ Lee, in his promo last week.
WWE is on the road to Royal Rumble 2026, where Rumble matches will take place for both the men's and women's division to determine who will main event WrestleMania 42 for world title matches. This week on Raw, three matches have been officially scheduled: Logan Paul vs. Rey Mysterion in an Exhibition Match, Maxxine Dupri (c) vs. Ivy Nile for the IC Title, and Usos vs. The New in a Tag Title Number One Contender's Match. This show will indeed be a double taping due to the Christmas Holidays coming up. Without further ado, here are the official Raw Predictions for Dec 15, 2025.
Logan Paul vs. Rey Mysterio [Personal Rivalry]
In the process of stopping Rey Mysterio from targeting the IC Title, Logan Paul told Rey Mysterio that he's 6 foot 3 inches while Mysterio is 3 foot 6 inches. That was a "clever" joke and is undoubtedly the highlight of Logan Paul's career. With help from the mystery hooded assailant, Paul took things a step further by heinously attacking Mysterio before his match with Judgment Day's Finn Balor last week. As someone who dethroned Mysterio to win his first singles title in the WWE, Paul has Mysterio's number and will continue to have it, as he proves himself to be a reliable component of the Vision.
Prediction: Logan Paul
Maxxine Dupri (c) vs. Ivy Nile [IC Title]
This is Maxxine Dupri's first title defense since dethroning Becky Lynch, so she will likely be successful, especially since her first opponent is Ivy Nile, who has not won any matches on Raw in 2025. As great as Ivy Nile is in the ring, she has no business being in this title match without the prerequisite momentum and credibility needed to be considered a threat to this title reign. Hopefully, Becky Lynch's lawsuit against Maxxine Dupri and the referees are successful because she got unceremoniously robbed of the title and should get her title back for the first Raw of 2026.
Prediction: Maxxine Dupri
Usos vs. The New Day [Tag Title #1C Match]
Usos are back in the tag division where they belong, and they will defeat their most historic rivals, The New Day, to become the number one contenders for the Tag Team Titles. It looks like the tag title reign of the makeshift team between AJ Styles and Dragon Lee may be numbered because there were no threats in that tag division until Usos showed up. WWE has done such a terrible job with the tag division that they had to put a halt to Jey's abysmal singles push and send him back back to teaming with his brother so that they can one again bring some legitimacy to those tag team titles.
Prediction: Usos
