The final episode of WWE RAW this year delivered a major upset as The Usos claimed the WWE World Tag Team Titles in a thrilling main event. The WWE RAW title change took place after The Usos overcame reigning champions AJ Styles and Dragon Lee, capping off a high-stakes night in the tag team division.
Championship Matches Dominate the Final Show of the Year
This decisive WWE RAW featured two championship contests to close out the year. Early in the evening, Stephanie Vaquer successfully retained her Women’s World Championship in a triple threat battle, setting an intense tone for the show’s title-centric focus.
The spotlight quickly shifted to the World Tag Team Championship as AJ Styles and Dragon Lee prepared to defend their gold against The Usos. Recently, The Usos had returned to the division, assisting Styles and Lee against The New Day and Grayson Waller, then securing a major victory over The New Day themselves to earn this coveted title opportunity.
The Usos Prevail in Tightly Fought Main Event
The contest between The Usos and the reigning champions became a showcase of resilience and strategy, with both teams narrowly avoiding defeat on several occasions. Jey Uso made a significant impact, first nearly sealing the win with a spear followed by a splash on AJ Styles, only for Styles to kick out at a crucial moment. The match’s tension heightened as Jey also escaped a near-loss by powering out of Styles’ signature finishing move, the Styles Clash.

This WWE RAW title change shakes up the landscape of the tag team division and signals a resurgence for The Usos after their recent return.
