Seth Rollins comes out to start Raw. Rollins said he wanted to party, but not alone, so he invited Cody Rhodes into the ring.





Rhodes comes out to a great reaction. Rollins complained about facing a mysterious opponent at WrestleMania. Rollins said he was better than Rhodes, despite what Rhodes might think.

Rollins had a suggestion. If Rhodes thought it was that easy, then tonight he should fight a mystery opponent chosen by Rollins. The crowd chanted “Yes.” Rhodes expressly agreed.

Ripley then argued with Morgan that he had not helped her. Ripley then attacked Morgan from behind and knocked her out with a Rip-Tide.

Sarah Schreiber attempted to interview Ripley after a pause, but Ripley said no one deserved an explanation.

Segment Sonya Deville/Bianca Belair. Sonya insulted her and Belair picked her up for the KOD, but Deville warned her to drop her off or she would be suspended. Belair threw her to the ground.

Edge/Damian Priest segment





Edge said that side was always in him and that the seeds were planted when he first came to hatch, but we’ve all forgotten that. Edge said Priest was disrespected when Bad Bunny got all the attention at last year’s WrestleMania.
Edge challenged Styles to a rematch at Backlash, ultimately driving a stake through his heart.

In the dressing room, Scriber asked Styles about Edge’s challenge. Styles referred to him as “Judge Edge” and accepted the challenge. The lights came on and Styles warned Schreiber to get out. Faint blue light glowed to reveal Priest and Edge. Styles attacked them but they knocked him out.

Theory defeated Finn Bálor fair and square to win the US Championship.

After the match, a group of rough wrestlers come out to pick up Theory and celebrate his title win. Vince McMahon exits the ramp area. Theory joined him on stage and they took a selfie.

The 24/7 talents’ wedding segment ends with the rings being put on before the men kiss their brides. That made it official, so Reggie immediately pinned Brooke to win the 24/7 title. Tamina took Reggie to the ground and ironed him out before Tozawa curled Tamina up to win the title. Brooke gave up Tozawa to regain the title.

Earlier this morning, MVP had a message for Bobby Lashley. MVP couldn’t believe Lashley would be competing at WrestleMania without him, but he moved on to something bigger and better. He made Lashley all powerful, imagine what he can do to Omos.

Schreiber interviewed Lashley. Lashley said he knew he had to go through Omos to get to MVP. Omos was taller than him, but next week we would find out who was stronger because he accepted the arm wrestling competition.





Rollins introduced Rhodes’ opponent Kevin Owens.
