WWE RAW Results (2/17/25): Live Match Updates and Highlights

Pat McAfee and Michael Cole are your announcers. Footage shows talents arriving at the venue before a replay highlights Kevin Owens’ feud with Sami Zayn.

Sami Zayn enters the ring. He says the past few weeks have been tough, but hearing the crowd makes him feel better. While recovering, he had a lot of time to reflect on his history with Kevin Owens. Sami Zayn says it’s crazy how connected he and Kevin Owens have been throughout their careers, from wrestling’s smallest stages to the main event of WrestleMania. Their journey has been filled with betrayals, forgiveness, and second chances—but not this time. This wasn’t about making a statement or advancing a career. Kevin tried to end him, but he failed.

Sami says he’s still standing. His neck isn’t fully healed, but he’s ready for a fight. Since Kevin said he’ll be in Toronto for Elimination Chamber, Sami will be there too—and he wants that fight.

Adam Pearce interrupts, reminding Sami they’ve discussed this multiple times. He knows Sami and the fans want this match, and even part of him does too. But medical staff have ruled Sami out, and the answer remains no.Adam Pearce tells Sami Zayn he’s not medically cleared and, as much as he’d like to make the match official, he has to say no.

As Adam turns to leave, Sami calls out to him, reminding him how long they’ve known each other—even before signing with WWE. He refuses to take no for an answer and says he’s not leaving the ring until he gets this match.

Adam admits he’s seen their journey from the start, but Sami knows he can’t sanction the match. That means if Kevin Owens wraps a chair around his face, no one can stop it. If Kevin drags him into the concourse and beats him senseless, no one can step in. If Kevin delivers piledriver after piledriver, there will be no referee to enforce the rules. The risk is entirely on Sami, and no matter what happens, he will lose something.

At Elimination Chamber, this could be the last match of Sami Zayn’s career. Adam asks if he understands. Sami steps up and says he knows exactly what it means. But that also means if he wraps a chair around Kevin’s face, no one can stop him. If he beats Kevin senseless in the concourse, no one can intervene. If he drops Kevin on his head, no one can save him. Sami demands the match. Adam finally agrees. At Elimination Chamber, it will be Kevin Owens vs. Sami Zayn. It’s not official—it’s unsanctioned.

A recap video of the Jade Cargill situation from Friday is shown.

In the Judgment Day locker room, Dominik talks to Liv about Jade and Bianca. Liv praises Dom for what he’s done and says she knows he’ll win. Dom wants Finn to appreciate him, and they discuss adding a new member. Finn walks in after hearing his name. Liv says they were talking about her winning. Finn reminds them that three Judgment Day members will be in the Elimination Chamber—he’ll beat Seth, Liv is in, and Raquel must beat Roxanne or it’ll be embarrassing. Raquel tells Finn to focus on his own job. Finn tells Liv and Dom—no new members.

A clip airs featuring iShowspeed, who got speared by Bron Breakker at the Royal Rumble.

Vic Joseph fills in for Jackie Redmond and talks about Bayley. Bayley joins Vic and is asked about Elimination Chamber. She says nothing is bigger on the road to WrestleMania.

A recap airs of Jey Uso selecting his WrestleMania opponent last week.

Pat McAfee interacts with the fans and spots Austin Theory and Grayson Waller sitting in the front row. Theory shields Waller from kids at ringside, and Pat asks if Waller is holding him back. Waller cuts in, calling the question disrespectful. He compares Pat to the Charlotte Hornets, saying, “One ball and no championships.” Pat brings up their loss at Vengeance Day, but Waller brushes it off, saying they’re not talking about the past. He shifts the focus to Sheamus, calling him a repeated failure.

Gunther stands in the concourse, saying he wants to experience what the YEET movement is all about.

He makes his way through the crowd and into the ring. Gunther calls YEET a simple gesture for simple people and says Jey Uso is no different. He knows the fans don’t appreciate him—it’s like reading Shakespeare to a dog. Spotting a child nearby, he tells him to move before something happens.

Gunther says as one of the best wrestlers in the company, he’s tired of facing opponents who can’t even lace his boots. He hoped to either talk sense into Jey or beat it into him so he’d make the right choice. But because of the fans, Jey gained a false sense of confidence—and now, he’s dug his own grave. Gunther says the match won’t take place in the crowd—it’ll happen in the ring at WrestleMania. When the bell rings, he will outclass Jey Uso in every way.

Stepping over the ringside barrier and onto the steps, Gunther warns the crowd that after WrestleMania, Jey’s downfall will be on their hands. He urges them to be honest with themselves and ask: does Jey Uso really stand a chance against him?

Knowing the fans don’t have a clue, Gunther turns to the announce table for a professional opinion. He climbs onto the table and demands Michael Cole and Pat McAfee answer honestly. Do they actually believe Jey can beat him?

Jey Uso’s music hits, and he storms onto the stage as referees try to hold him back.

Jey fights back with a corner splash, forcing Gunther to retreat to the floor.

Cathy Kelley interviews Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez backstage. She asks about the footage. Liv sarcastically asks if Cathy saw them attack Jade. She says they’ve raised the standard in the women’s division, and Raquel will crush Roxanne Perez like the bug she is. Liv laughs and tells Cathy she has no time for her theories. Raquel adds that what happened to Jade could happen to anyone. Liv laughs again.

Jey Uso walks through the backstage area and runs into Xavier Woods and Kofi Kingston. Kofi tells Jey that no one understands what he’s going through better than him. Woods chimes in, saying they can’t wait to see him… lose. Kofi adds that Gunther is going to take care of him. Jey reminds them that KofiMania wouldn’t have happened if The Usos hadn’t forfeited their match. Woods casually refers to Pete Dunne as “Butch,” which gets Pete’s attention. Kofi tries to calm Pete down, but Pete isn’t having it. He agrees with the fans—The New Day sucks.

Meanwhile, off to the side, Dominik and Carlito are watching, and Dom doesn’t look happy about something.

Penta vs. Pete Dunne

Video package for Roxanne Perez.

She confidently declares that she will be the new Intercontinental Champion next week.

The War Raiders acknowledge that The Creeds are as good as advertised, but they aren’t ready for war. They remind them that despite being hit with the title belts, they are still the tag team champions.

Cathy Kelley interviews Seth Rollins and asks about his match against Finn Balor. Seth says he can’t get to WrestleMania without going through Elimination Chamber, and he can’t get into Elimination Chamber without winning tonight. This is as big as it gets. He says he needs the win more than Finn and that it’s time for a fight.

Karrion Kross interrupts, saying Sami Zayn will be watching closely. He mocks Jey Uso for thinking he can beat Gunther at WrestleMania and laughs at Seth for believing he’ll qualify for Elimination Chamber to eliminate “the invisible man,” John Cena. He then tells Sami that out of all of them, he still has time to turn things around.

Vic Joseph interviews Ludwig Kaiser and asks about what happened earlier. Kaiser says he went out to prove a point and that all the hype surrounding Penta should be about him. He believes he belongs at the top of WWE. Everything was going according to plan until Pete Dunne interfered. Kaiser makes it clear that nothing has changed—this is his year. If he has to go through Pete Dunne, so be it. If he has to go through Penta, so be it.

Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods head to the ring. Iyo Sky reflects on how quickly things can change. A year ago, she was champion, on top of the world, and heading to WrestleMania. Now, her path isn’t as clear, and there’s a chance she won’t get her moment this year. But her match with Rhea Ripley is the opportunity she needs. She respects Rhea and knows her better than anyone. In NXT, Rhea always had the upper hand, but this time, Iyo is determined to reclaim her rightful place at the top. That championship belongs to her, and she wants it back.

A recap airs of what The New Day did to Rey Mysterio and Dragon Lee after Raw went off the air, showing them attacking Rey’s knee with a steel chair.

Xavier Woods sarcastically wishes Rey a speedy recovery before saying they wanted to address the fans. Kofi starts to speak, but Woods cuts in, demanding the crowd shut up. He says people are angry about what they said to Big E and upset about their attack on Rey Mysterio, a Hall of Famer who has only tried to drain the life from every luchador who’s stepped into WWE. The crowd has lost its mind.

Kofi questions why Rey is put on a pedestal—just because he’s a Hall of Famer and the supposed heart and soul of WWE? Kofi reminds everyone that he has more titles than Rey, has been in WWE longer, and never left. If anyone should be a locker room leader, it should be him. Rey kicking them out of the locker room was beyond disrespectful.

Woods says that audacity led them to take a steel chair to Rey’s ankle last week. Kofi says that’s why they made Rey cry, leaving him embarrassed and unable to show his face. He tells the fans they don’t have to like them, but it could have been much worse for Rey. Instead of complaining, they should be thanking The New Day for showing mercy. Woods takes it a step further, saying they could have taken Rey out back and given him the Old Yeller treatment. Instead, they let him go home to his family. He tells the crowd they should be on their knees, thanking God for The New Day.

The LWO music hits. Dragon Lee calls their attack on Rey unforgivable and fires back, saying, “The New Day sucks.” Joaquin Wilde and Cruz Del Toro charge into the ring, taking the fight to Kofi and Woods. Lee joins in, and the LWO gets the upper hand, working over The New Day. Kofi is sent to the floor, while Woods gets kicked out of the ring, leaving the LWO standing tall.

Next week, Dakota Kai challenges Lyra Valkyria for the Women’s Intercontinental Championship, while Bianca Belair and Naomi defend the Tag Team Titles against Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez.

Backstage, Naomi and Bianca walk through the hallway when Cathy Kelley stops them, asking if their actions were revenge for Jade. Naomi says they’ve been waiting for the truth to come out, and now Liv and Raquel are the ones counting their days. Bianca adds that they better be ready. Naomi says they’re all willing to fight each other, and in the end, it will come down to one of them facing Rhea Ripley—or maybe even Iyo Sky.
