The June 30, 2025 episode of WWE Monday Night Raw had its fair share of important announcements and things that went down, including matches announced for WWE Evolution and WWE Saturday Night's Main Event, new world tag team champions crowned, and more.
But what was that "more"? Well, in case you don't want to scroll the full results of the 6/30/2025 Raw, here's a snapshot of a few other noteworthy things that happened on this episode.
Ludwig Kaiser Takes Over El Grande Americano Gimmick:
There was a backstage segment where Raw General Manager Adam Pearce wished Chad Gable the best of luck with his surgery, as he's going to be out of action with an arm injury. Pearce couldn't help but to throw in a dig, though, that this must mean we aren't going to see El Grande Americano around any time soon, since everyone knows that's Gable under the mask. Gable tried to write it off that Americano is busy and has a packed schedule before handing off leadership of American Made to Ivy Nile.
Later, in a different backstage segment where Nile was talking to Jackie Redmond about how she wants to make sure she's in the battle royal at Evolution, Ludwig Kaiser showed up wearing the El Grande Americano outfit—mask, singlet, and all. He didn't say a word, but the implication was clear that he'll be playing the gimmick in the meantime, which was set up partially by having him hovering around the backstage scene last week when Penta injured Gable's arm.
Seth Rollins Has a Custom Money in the Bank Briefcase:
Seth Rollins now has a custom briefcase for the Money in the Bank, which is black with gold lettering and his logo inside the O in "money"
Rollins teased cashing in his contract on Gunther tonight, but didn't remotely come close to attempting it. It was more of a vague threat in a general sense, before CM Punk attacked Rollins and sent him running away into the crowd, only to then be attacked by LA Knight, who he will face at Saturday Night's Main Event.
Dominik Mysterio's Note from the Medical Staff:
Last week, Dominik Mysterio was scheduled to face AJ Styles and put his Intercontinental Championship on the line at Night of Champions, but it was announced that Dom had suffered a rib injury and was not medically cleared to compete.
This week, Styles and Mysterio had a backstage segment where Dom showed him the paperwork and also let him know that there's an addendum to this. If Styles puts his hands on Mysterio before he's medically cleared, The Phenomenal One forfeits his intercontinental title match.
