WWE RAW 25/03/2024 Results

Opening segment: Cody Rhodes opened the show after a face-to-face with Roman Reigns on SmackDown. As Rhodes began to talk about what went down on SmackDown, Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson’s theme hit. Fans at the Allstar Arena went wild as The Rock botched his entrance but arrived at the intended place nonetheless. Taking the ring, both men took in the crowd and atmosphere. The Rock leaned in and whispered something in Rhodes’ ear. This mirrored the time Rhodes handed his Mania spot to Johnson. Without saying a word, Johnson left the ring, ending the segment.

Backstage segment: Jackie Redmond tried to ask The Rock what he said to Rhodes, but he told her to ask him.

Backstage segment: The Judgment Day is seen telling JD McDonagh to win his match against Ricochet. Dominik Mysterio says he will ensure that happens.

Ricochet vs JD McDonagh

Winner: Ricochet

The first match of the night featured the high flyer Ricochet against McDonagh. With Dirty Dom by his side, Ricochet found it hard to mount an offense on McDonagh. Despite being dropped on the turnbuckle, Ricochet hit a Spanish Fly for the win.

In-ring segment: CM Punk made his return to Chicago, the same place he made his return to the WWE at Survivor Series. The sold-out crowd gave the native a hero’s welcome. As he took to the ring, he talked about wanting to be a part of WrestleMania in any capacity. This led to Drew McIntyre interrupting his speech. The two have a back-and-forth argument with several references, while McIntyre claims that Punk should have a front-row seat to watch his match at Mania.

While Punk claimed he could be a special guest referee, McIntyre claimed he should work on commentary. Seth Rollins was next to show up and stop the fight between the two. Rollins asked the Chicago crowd if Punk should work the desk or be the referee. Despite not being cleared to wrestle, Punk proved that he could still count to three. Rollins and Punk expressed how much they didn’t like each other before Punk left. McIntyre wanted the last word and claimed that Punk was obsessed with him before being laid out by Rollins.

Backstage segment: Shinsuke Nakamura cut a promo on Jey Uso for their match later on.

Candice LeRae vs. Ivy Nile

Winner: Candice LeRae

Yet again, LeRae showed off her dark side in her match with Nile. Just like last time, Nile cheated to win the match. While claiming she was injured, she rolled up Nile for the win. Indi Hartwell continued her look of shock at what LeRae was doing.

The New Day vs. DIY

Winner: No contest

The match started out great, with The Miz and R-Truth on commentary. The match did not last long as The Judgment Day attacked New Day. The match ended with no contest while JD attacked DIY. The Miz and R-Truth got involved only to be laid out.

Sami Zayn vs. Bronson Reed

This match was something Sami Zayn needed to win. However, with Gunther by ringside and in his mind, Zayn was distracted. While being able to get the upper hand, Zayn was distracted by Gunther and was hit with the Tsunami by Reed for the win.

Shinsuke Nakamura vs. Jey Uso

Winner: Jey Uso

The match started out with Nakamura in the lead. Jey was able to get some distance, but Nakamura was able to capitalize. Mid-way through the match, Jimmy Uso and Solo Sikoa came out. However, they were dealt with by Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins. Even Drew McIntyre came out to interfere. However, with all this going on, Jey was able to pick up the win.

Backstage: The brawl between Rhodes, Jimmy and Sikoa continued. As he got the upper hand, The Rock attacked Rhodes from behind. This was the first time Johnson got physical during this feud. The segment ended with Johnson making Rhodes bleed on his new Mama Rhodes belt.
