Roman Reigns is BACK, but What Happened to Iyo on WWE Raw 29 September 2025
Raleigh, NC – Monday Night Raw delivered arguably the most emotionally intense episode of the year, splitting its spotlight between a blockbuster return and a shocking betrayal that left the WWE Universe breathless.
The air was electric, and while the crowd erupted for the return of one of the biggest stars in sports entertainment history, the true tragedy of the evening unfolded in the Women’s Division, forever changing the dynamic of a championship alliance.
The Tribal Chief Returns to “Cleanse” The Vision
The main event was a chaotic Tornado Tag Team Match pitting The Usos against the monstrous duo of The Vision (Bron Breakker & Bronson Reed). The Usos, still reeling from internal tension and the relentless attacks by Breakker and Reed, fought valiantly but were on the verge of being decimated.
Suddenly, the arena lights dropped. A familiar gong hit, but it was replaced by a more menacing, bass-heavy beat.
Roman Reigns is back!
Fresh off his hiatus and reportedly seeking revenge for an attack that took him out of action weeks ago, The Tribal Chief stormed the ring. His arrival was calculated and precise. Reigns single-handedly neutralized Bronson Reed, then hit a devastating Spear on Bron Breakker, allowing The Usos to capitalize and win the match.
The image of the three cousins standing united over their fallen enemies signaled an immediate shift in power on the Raw brand, putting Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes and World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins on notice. Reigns is here, and the timeline is officially threatened.
The Most Heartbreaking Betrayal: Asuka Mists Iyo Sky on WWE Raw
The evening’s most viral and heartbreaking moment came during the opening segment, which addressed the escalating tension between Women’s World Champion Rhea Ripley and her stablemates, Iyo Sky and the attacking force of The Kabuki Warriors (Asuka & Kairi Sane).
After Ripley challenged The Kabuki Warriors, it was Iyo Sky who came out first, clearly conflicted. She tearfully told Ripley that she still loved her “family,” Asuka and Kairi Sane, and needed time.
But family doesn’t always forgive.
When the two Kabuki Warriors blindsided Ripley, Iyo Sky, driven by loyalty, ran down to save her. She pulled Asuka off “The Eradicator,” only for Kairi Sane to get on her knees, pleading with Iyo to stop.
It was a distraction.
Asuka then sprayed the infamous “poison mist” directly into the eyes of a horrified Iyo Sky. The Kabuki Warriors then brutally finished the assault, leaving both the World Champion and her betrayed ally laid out in the ring. The sight of the green mist blinding Iyo Sky—the same Iyo who had risked everything—instantly trended online.
The Fallout: Backstage, a clearly distraught Iyo Sky, with tears and mist running down her face, informed Ripley that she had spoken with Adam Pearce. The match is set: Rhea Ripley & Iyo Sky will face The Kabuki Warriors (Asuka & Kairi Sane) at Crown Jewel!
Other Must-See Moments on Raw
- Dirty Dom Survives Rusev: Intercontinental Champion Dominik Mysterio controversially retained his title against Rusev, using classic heel tactics—a low blow and a handful of tights—to secure the cheap win.
- Rhodes vs. Rollins Heating Up: The two world champions had a heated face-to-face. Seth Rollins doubled down on his new aggressive persona, claiming he would finally “rectify the timeline” by defeating Cody Rhodes at Crown Jewel.
- CM Punk’s Return Confirmed: WWE announced that CM Punk will make his shocking return to the red brand next week!
The Takeaway: While Roman Reigns’ return dominated the headline, last night’s Raw was defined by the deep, personal stories of betrayal and loyalty, setting the stage for an explosive Crown Jewel event.
