WWE RAW Results: Superstar wants to end Hall of Famer's career; historic unsanctioned match announced (2/17/25)

Sami Zayn kicked off WWE RAW and said that he was ready to accept Kevin Owens' challenge despite not being medically cleared to compete. Adam Pearce came out and said that Sami wasn't allowed to compete and that Pearce, Nick Aldis, and the 'board' had refused him already.

Sami said that he needed to do this and asked Adam to reconsider and the RAW General Manager said that WWE cannot sanction this since it was too risky. Pearce added that if Sami goes ahead with the match, it would surely be his last time in the ring.

Sami said that they couldn't stop him and Owens if they wanted to fight, and Adam confirmed that he was agreeing to an unsanctioned match, meaning that there were no rules. Zayn agreed to the stipulation, and the match was finalized before RAW moved on.

Backstage at The Judgment Day clubhouse, Dominik Mysterio and Liv Morgan still wanted to get a new member to help out, but Finn Balor was not willing to budge. Balor said that three of them were going to the Elimination Chamber since Liv had already qualified, and he and Raquel would surely win their qualifier matches.
