WWE Raw Results:
The show kicks off with Bron Breakker going nuts at ringside. Breakker starts destroying the commentary desk. The rest of the Vision hit the ring and try to calm Breakker down. Breakker says this is Raw GM Adam Pearce’s fault and he’s trying to ruin his moment. Paul Heyman grabs a mic and says this is all Pearce’s fault. Pearce has to know who the masked man is.

Awesome chaotic start to the show. Breakker is going to murder Pearce, and that’s going to be so fun to watch.

Winner- Je’Von Evans
Grade: B-
Fun match. Too much outside shenanigans, but you have to expect that with the Americanos. Would have been nice to just see Evans get a good win.
AJ Styles‘ music hits. Out walks Gunther, who mocks Styles’ entrance. The crowd boos as Gunther laughs his way to the ring. The Ring General is enjoying this.
The Career Killer

Dragon Lee (AJ Styles’ tag partner) spawns in the ring and attacks Gunther. Gunther falls out of the ring. Lee lands a dive. Lee charges at Gunther.

Grade: A
Gunther continues to look like a beast. Well done.
Erik and Ivar are in the ring getting ready for their match. Oba Femi‘s music hits. According to commentary, Femi isn’t the scheduled opponet for either Viking. Femi says they are both going to die tonight as he stomps to the ring. Erik charges at Femi, and Femi destroys Erik with a lariat. Femi tosses Ivar and Erik all over the ring. Femi obliterates Erik with the Fall from Grace.
Grade: B+
Amazing showing for Femi. This writer was worried that this was a 2-on-1 match. Having Femi beat a tag team would make him look great, but it would be like throwing up all over the Vikings. This was the best outcome. Femi destroyed them both, but it wasn’t in a match. Their credibility remains intact in tag team wrestling matches.
The Bellas
Nikki and Brie announce that they want tag team gold.
Grade: C
Nikki mistakenly thinks the crowd is crapping on them, so she makes a joke about the Eagles not making the Super Bowl. Hehe. Why did they send the Bellas out to the ring in Philly? The crowd wasn’t even their normal rowdy selves, but Nikki just stepped into it out there.
Penta vs. Bronson Reed
Penta lands a flurry. Reed takes over during the break. Reed works over Penta. Penta fires up with a series of strikes. Reed surprises Penta with Greetings from the Black Forest. Penta kicks out. Penta counters a DVD with a backstabber! Reed kicks out! The Vision at ringside looks concerned. Theory and Paul get up on the apron. Penta takes both of them out with strikes. The referee gets taken out in the process.
Penta takes out Theory and Paul with a dive. Penta sets up the Mexican destroyer. Reed reverses it into the Jagged Edge. Tsunami by Reed! There is no referee to make the count. Reed leaves the ring and grabs a chair. LA Knight hops the barricade and drops Reed with a BFT on the chair! Paul and Theory chase Knight through the crowd. Heyman is irate as the referee counts Reed out!
Winner- Penta
Grade: B
This match was a lot of fun. Penta works great with larger opponents. Things are going quite poorly for The Vision tonight. LA Knight is turning into the Vision Hunter. The question is, will this lead to ANYTHING for Knight?
MYSTERIO!
The AAA Mega and WWE Intercontinental Champion Dominik Mysterio has returned. Dominik makes his way tot he rign and grabs a mic. The only reason Dominik came back to a place like PA is to introduce and celebrate with his lady, the 2026 Women’s Royal Rumble winner, Liv Morgan. Morgan runs down to the ring and hugs Dominik. Morgan proclaims herself the greatest Royal Rumble winner of all time. The crowd boos and cheers all at once. Morgan isn’t sure which title she will challenge for.
What Morgan does know is that there will be a new Women’s World Champion tonight. Morgan introduces her friend, Raquel Rodriguez. Rodriguez asks Morgan why she eliminated her during the Royal Rumble. Morgan says she knows Rodriguez isn’t a selfish person, and Rodriguez already had a title match, so there was more than enough to go around. Rodriguez says Morgan is right, but she wants Morgan to stay in the back. Rodriguez wants to win the title on her own.
Grade: C+
Always nice to see Dominik back on our TVs. This segment rana. bit long, but it’s playing into a bit of tension between Rodriguez and Morgan. There is a strong possibility that we somehow end up with an all-Judgment Day Women’s World title match at WrestleMania. If Rodriguez wins tonight…

Vaquer lands the Angel’s Kiss for the win.
Winner and STILL Women’s World Champion, Stephanie Vaquer!
After the match, Morgan drops Vaquer with Oblivion.
Grade: B+
This was a great match. Rodriguez has come into her own as a powerhouse. Kevin Nash’s advice has down wonder for the new Big Sexy. Rodriguez brought the fight to Vaquer, and Vaquer responded. Vaquer has lived up to the hype, despite not being given much to do. Rodriguez will have a gripe with Morgan, as one could argue that Rodriguez was doing just fine on her own.
A truck pulls up backstage. Roman Reigns steps out and makes his way into the arena.
The Tribal Chief
Reigns tells the crowd to acknowledge him. He has a decision to make. Reigns wants Philly’s help. Should he go after the title that he made? The crowd chants for CM Punk. Punk’s music hits. The crowd sings “Cult of Personality” as Punk slowly walks down the ramp. Reigns and Punk stare each other down. Punk bypasses Reigns and talks directly to the camera to Finn Bálor. Punk tells Bálor he’s going to end him. An incredulous Reigns asks if Bálor rang Punk’s bell; how dare Punk interrupt him? Punk tells Reigns this isn’t SmackDown.
Reigns is an intruder on Punk’s show, Monday Night Raw. Punk does a yay/boo spot with the crowd with McIntyre and Punk. Punk says he knows Reigns is going to take the easy way out. Reigns says he doesn’t like McIntyre, but he’s like four times bigger than Punk. Also, the last time Punk fought McIntyre, McIntyre had Punk crying over a little plastic bracelet. Punk tells Reigns to be careful because they ran out of staples putting McIntyre’s dumb @$$ back together again. Reigns quips that he beat McIntyre for three years straight.
In Closing
Punk asks how many of Reigns’ cousins it took to get that done. Reigns says the only reason Punk had a company to come back to is because of Reigns’ Family. Punk says all Reigns did was hold this place hostage. Punk says Reigns followed in his footsteps. Just because Reigns was champion longer, that doesn’t mean he did it better.
Reigns says Punk is only making all the towns because he took a 10-year vacation. Reigns claims the top brass asked him if they should resign Punk. Reigns says he’s not picking Punk because he’s the biggest star; he’s picking him because he hates Punk; Reigns always has. WrestleMania is going to be the best day of Reigns life, because Punk will acknowledge him.
Grade: A
This is officially the biggest WrestleMania main event in years. Forget the story, and sign this writer up for WrestleMania: Zeebros Collide.
WWE Raw Review:
The Royal Rumble fallout edition of Raw featured a few fun matches and an world breaking main event promo between the future WrestleMania main event CM Punk and Roman Reigns. Raquel Rodriguez and Stephanie Vaquer showed out and claimed match of the night honors. Bron Breakker got put on the bench early and after making a statement earlier in the show was no where ot be found for the rest of it. It’s an odd choice to have Breakker obey a command from Raw GM Adam Pearce when LA Knight did not. Narratively, that makes little sense, but not enough of a dealbreaKker (heh) to ruin an overall solid show. What did you all think of the show? Let us know in the comments!
