Monday Night Raw Review 4.2.2025.

   Intro.

I think we can all agree that This past weekend was awesome. But with that said. Were on the road to Wrestlemania, and I love this time of year, from guessing which way storylines are going to go, to fantasy booking matches. And after this years Royal Rumble, and how the mens one ended. I can honestly say. I've never looked forward to a Mania build this much in years. Strap Yourselves in guys, because I have a feeling that this is going to be an epic ride.

Superstars Seen Showing Up.

Sami Zayn. Cm punk. Liv Morgan. Iyo Sky, and. Charlotte Flair, were all seen showing to the arena.

Jey Uso Segment.

I had a great time watching this at 7am this morning. Jey walked through the fans when he made his entrance, and their love and passion never wained once during this segment. Jey got to the ring, and at first he could barely speak, due to the overwhelming response the fans were giving him. When he did talk, he spoke with passion, fire, and grace. From his history, and the love he has for his family, to this point. Jey is the definition of hardwork paying off, and as a writer who's struggling to make a name for himself. I can understand all of his efforts, no one saw him as a singles guy, but he turned this around, and that gamble is slowly starting to pay off. Gunther came out, and the pair had an excellent promo dual. I like the chemistry that these two have, and this was awesome. I don't think were getting Jey vs Gunther at Mania, but in all honesty would it really be a bad thing.

Penta vs Ludwig Kaiser.

For a TV Match that needed a bit more time so it could marinade, this wasn't bad, in fact, it was very good. Penta got the win, and was then decked by Kaiser, after Pete Dunne showed his Butch like face.

Finn Balor Is Back.

Finn Balor is back, and he's acting like a big baby. Dom has been keeping the group a float, after Finn got decked by Damien Priest.

Charlotte Flair Is Back. ( uh oh )

This. Was. A real letdown. WWE have created an unwanted Creative vortex. They have been molding Charlotte into a modern day version of Tully Blanchard, with the vingnettes they have been showing hyping up her return, and then they go and do this. They turn into a babyface. Her promo was not well received by the fans in attendence, because her promo was built in the realm of a babyface. Charlotte is a natural heel, and this didn't work. Rhea Ripley then came out, and  not even she couldn't save this car wreck. I have no other words. Rhea, and. Iyo got decked by Liv Morgan, and. Raquel Rodriguez. 

6 Sami Zayn Heel Tease.

Sami Zayn was backstage getting tormented, by everyones favourite low rent Carnival freak Karrion Kross, and he walked over to see his mate. Jey Uso, in which he said he's proud of him, after his Rumble win. I'm not buying this.  Proud, more like not proud.

The New Day vs Rey Mysterio and Dragon Lee.

I'm not sure what to make of this. From Logan Paul, acting like a evil mastermind, to The New Day slowly becoming completely irrelevent. The New Day got the win, and at this point I don't think I care. Which is a shame, because after that angle with Big E. they've fallen down, and it looks like they can't get back up.

Liv Morgan vs Iyo Sky Elimination Chamber Qualifier Match.

This. Was pathetic. I've seen a lot of people saying online, that this is one of Liv Morgans better Matches in recent months. And I agree, but the dodgy finish left a bad taste in my mouth. Rhea Ripley attacked Liv, causing a dq finish, meaning Liv won by default. Liv is going to Toronto, to be in the Elimination Chamber. Oh joy.

Seth Rollins Segment And Cm Punk vs Sami Zayn. 

I loved all of this. Seth started off proceedings by coming out wearing The Undertakers Bathrobe. He put over his praise of Jey Uso, whilst laughing at Cm Punks downfall. Seth started the job of working the fans by stating that Roman is injured, as the fake side of self loathing took centre stage, as he talks about the past. He then asked Sami Zayn to come out, and what came next was excellent. Seth reminded Sami who he is. A few weeks ago Punk told  Sami that he's not on his level. Seth told Sami, that he's levels clear of the second city st. This Morphed into the main event of the evening, and it was excellent. I've heard some people say that Seth vs Sami is one of the best Matches of the year, and i'm not sure if I agree. Yes, the story that both men told in the Match was great. I just think KO and Cody from this past weekend ruled major ass. The physicality that was on display here was something to behold for a TV Match, and their chemistry was awesome. I just feel that there was something missing, and I can't put my finger on what it was.

Overview of Monday Night Raw. 

Even with all of the technical faults that threatened to derail this broadcast. I had fun watching Raw this week. The promos went from sensational, to what were they thinking, and the in ring work followed the same pattern.

This weeks Monday Night Raw is a high 7/10.
