Some pretty interesting stuff happening on Raw lately. With Conway and Storm off of Raw, Chris Jericho resigned former Smackdown competitor Apocalypse, who had been out of the promotion since May. He's picked up two impressive wins since his return, over AJ Styles and Sean Criss respectively.
Also, the other two former La Resistance members, Sylvain Grenier and Chris Nowinski, have seen no success as singles wrestlers. However, on the December 22nd edition of Raw, we saw a "new" team called Los Conquistadors come in. This wouldn't seem like such a big deal were it not for the fact their in ring style seemed nearly identical to that of Nowinski/Grenier. Quite interesting...
But nevertheless, here is the final PPV extravaganza of 2025, SmackDown! exclusive PPV, Armageddon!
