Your Ruler Has Arrived

WWE Raw After WrestleMania from Las Vegas kicked off with Oba Femi coming out to a massive reaction from the crowd. Femi said, “Your ruler has arrived”, dropped the mic, and that was the full segment. 

A video aired featuring Asuka and Kairi Sane addressing Iyo Sky, whom they will face next alongside Rhea Ripley. Asuka said Iyo was nothing, and Rhea was the champion. This led directly into their match.

 

Ripley & Sky vs. Kabuki Warriors

The first match of the night saw new WWE Women’s Champion Rhea Ripley teaming with Iyo Sky to take on Asuka and Kairi Sane. Both teams exchanged control of the match in the early portion until Sane hit the Insane Elbow on Ripley on the outside as the show went to break. Upon return, Sky had the advantage, taking bullet train attacks to both of the Kabuki Warriors. 

Kairi and Asuka double-teamed Ripley until Sky was able to make the save. Sky hit a scary-looking dive to the outside as Ripley hit Riptide, and Sky returned to the ring to hit Over the Moonsault for the win. After the match, Asuka screamed at Kairi in Japanese. 

Backstage, Adam Pearce congratulated Penta on retaining his Intercontinental Championship. Je’Von Evans interrupted, saying that he wasn’t going anywhere. Ethan Page appeared, and Adam Pearce announced him as Raw’s newest Superstar. Page said he was going to get the IC title, and Evans took issue, so Pearce made a match for tonight. 

Andre the Giant Battle Royale Winner Royce Keys was shown at ringside after the next commercial. 

 

Title Shots Falling Out of the Sky

CM Punk was out next, welcomed with a mix of chants and boos from the Vegas crowd. Punk said that all of the loss he’s been dealing with for the last six or so months. He continued, saying that he stayed ready, which led to him becoming World Heavyweight Champion. Punk said you never know when a championship opportunity is going to fall out of the sky. With that, Cody Rhodes interrupted, complete with a terrible-looking black eye. The two bantered back and forth until Punk looked at Cody’s title and indicated he wanted a shot. Cody replied, “Just say when”.

A Finn Balor vignette aired where he said he wasn’t done with the Judgment Day. He said he expected a betrayal from Dominik, but not from JD. He said that he brought JD into this business, and now he would take him out.

 

Ethan Page vs. Je’Von Evans

The next match was the Raw debut of “All Ego” Ethan Page, taking on Je’Von Evans. Evans hit a giant splash to teh outside as the show went to commercial.

Afterward, Evans remained in control as Michael Cole lamented about being Evans’ age and being able to move as he does. Rusev then appeared, swinging at Evans but missing. Page took advantage back in the ring and hit the Twisted Grin for the win.

Evans continued the beatdown on Evans when Penta made the save. Page then came to Rusev’s aid, and Rusev applied The Accolade to Penta. Rusev put the IC title on his shoulder as the segment ended. 

Championship Celebration

Next, new Women’s Champion Liv Morgan was out with the rest of the Judgment Day to celebrate her big win. Liv thanked Stephanie Vaquer, saying that facing Stephanie reminded her of who she really was. Sol Ruca interrupted as Michael Cole reminded that Sol and Liv were the final two in the Royal Rumble (a short while later, Cole buried his producer for giving him bad information, saying that Stratton was the other woman left in the Rumble, and Ruca was #3). Sol said that Liv was an inspiration, and Liv told her to leave and stop interrupting her celebration. Adam Pearce appeared and made a match between the two, starting now. 

Sol Ruca vs. Liv Morgan

The next match saw Sol Ruca take on Liv Morgan in a non-title match, with Michael Cole announcing that Ruca was now part of Monday Night Raw. Ruca took control in the early portion of the match.

After an ad break, Ruca continued to take it to Morgan, reversing an Oblivion and hitting the Sol Snatcher, but Liv Morgan rolled out of the ring. Zaria then appeared, taking out Ruca behind the referee’s back. Morgan then hit Oblivion for the win. As Morgan was celebrating, Stephanie Vaquer appeared, and the two had a staredown.

A Brock Lesnar retrospective video aired to Godsmack’s “I Walk Alone,” and it was 2002 again. 

The Vision 15/20

Paul Heyman, Logan Paul, and Austin Theory were out next, and Bron Breakker, suspiciously absent, returned to attack Seth Rollins at WrestleMania. Heyman got on the mic and complained that Brock Lesnar was still in the “Now” portion of the “Then, Now, Forever” logo at the opening of the show. The crowd responded with chants of “Thank You, Brock.” Paul got on the mic and said that IShowSpeed was the only reason they lost at WrestleMania. Logan continued saying he hated these “outsiders” and “YouTube streamers” that come in and think they can do what they do.

Heyman brought up the favor for Gunther, saying he’s willing to repay whenever he’s ready. With that, Heyman introduced Bron Breakker. Breakker started cutting a promo about taking out Rollins when Seth appeared from behind and hit Breakker with a chair. The Vision beat down Rollins until the Street Profits made their return. The Profits brawled into the crowd with Theory and Paul as Rollins and Breakker continued in the ring. Breakker hit two spears on Rollins and left him lying. 

A JD McDonagh vignette aired, with him responding to Balor’s from earlier in the night. Yet again, unsure how a response video could have been shot and edited in this short amount of time, but okay. McDonagh said that the Finn Balor we all knew and loved is dead. And apparently this match was next… and the main event?

Finn Balor vs. JD McDonagh

The final match of the night was Finn Balor and JD McDonagh battling it out, as clued into by their earlier vignettes. Balor jumped McDonagh before the bell, and the two brawled into the crowd. Finally, they made it back into the ring, and the match officially began. Balor worked from underneath as the show went to commercial. When it was back, Balor mounted a comeback as he was bleeding from the mouth. Balor then hit the Coup de Grâce for the win. Dirty Dom then appeared, attacking Balor. Balor fought him off, and the segment ended.

Gunther was interviewed and said that Paul Heyman owed him a very big favor, and he would get the World Heavyweight title back very soon. LA Knight interrupted, saying he had eyes on the title as well. 

Joe Hendry was announced as a full-time Raw performer, and he will hold a concert next week. 

Rhea Ripley gave Iyo Sky a tearful goodbye (didn’t this already happen?) and said she would go be the champion SmackDown needed. Ripley walked by Liv Morgan, who said she’d see her around. 

Roman Reigns was seen pulling into the arena at 10:22 pm Eastern time, and he slowly plodded his way to the ring, checking his watch to make sure he wasn’t moving too fast. When he finally made it to Gorilla, he was greeted by The Usos, and he signaled for them to come out with him to the ring. After yet another ad break, Reigns said he wanted to discuss some family business with his cousins. Roman said he missed The Usos, and they were stronger together. This brought out Jacob Fatu, who said he needed the World Heavyweight Championship. Fatu challenged Reigns for a match at Backlash, and Reigns said he would see him next week on Raw.
