WWE RAW San Jose, California
The commentators are Michael Cole and Pat McAfee.
– Tonight is WWE RAW, the red show begins with the commentators welcoming us to 40 days before WrestleMania 40. We then present a video about the events in the Elimination Chamber last Saturday (PLE results here).
– We find Dominik Mysterio alone in the ring. Dominik demands everyone's attention to introduce the best champion in history: Rhea Ripley. Ripley welcomes us to Monday Night Mommy. Ripley says she went in and out of her country like the women's world champion. Nia Jax may have been the biggest threat to her reign, but no matter how big you are, Ripley is always on top. The music of Becky Lynch begins and she enters the ring. Becky says The Man is in San Jose tonight and is coming to WrestleMania to face Ripley. Becky says she's here to congratulate Ripley. It was a big Saturday evening for both of them. She won the Elimination Chamber and Ripley defended her title against Nia Jax in the main event in her home country in front of her friends and family.
Becky says it was a great moment and now they have to travel to Mania to see her lose. Dominik says no one talks to mom like that. Becky says if Mommy doesn't put him in his place, she will. Ripley has great power, but she spent a lot of time feeding this loser (Dominik). During this time she became a Grand Slam champion and wrote a book. The man can do anything, including defeating Ripley. Ripley says Becky must never disrespect her Latino heat again. She then congratulates Becky on winning the Elimination Chamber. Becky finally stops disappointing her and gets closer to her level. The man always thinks he is the solid one, men always think they are the strongest, but the funny thing is that behind every great man there is a great woman. But she's not behind Becky because Mommy is still on top.
Ripley raises her title in front of Becky and leaves the ring. Nia Jax comes from the other side and hits Becky in the back! Nia does two leg drops. Nia prepares for her finisher, but the officials arrive to stop her.
– Sami Zayn enters the ring.
– Back after the break, backstage, Jackie asks why she attacked Becky from behind like that. Nia says Becky can't go to WrestleMania. She has beaten Becky in the past and there is no way Becky will be able to get to WrestleMania. Jackie asks him about his comments on his match against Liv Morgan tonight. Nia says it will be ten times worse for Liv tonight.

At the end of the match, Zayn attempts a Helluva Kick, but Nakamura avoids it and does a backwards Kinshasa to cover him, but Zayn fights back at the last second.

Nakamura returns to the ring and the referee starts the count, Zayn comes back into the ring at nine. Nakamura goes straight for a Kinshasa and covers him, but Zayn puts his foot on a cable.

– Backstage, Jackie is with Sami Zayn to get his comments on his win. Sami says he needed this win. He had been thinking about this game since last week. A defeat would have overshadowed his statement. But now it proves he is a contender and will become a champion. His path to WrestleMania will happen to him. Imperium walks past Sami and Gunther laughs.
– Back, backstage, Cathy asks Cody Rhodes for his comments after his challenge to face The Rock. Cody says it's easy, The stone hit him, so he challenged him. He will wait for his answer on Friday on SmackDown. Cathy asks for his comments on his match against Grayson Waller. Cody says Waller has many skills, but especially on the microphone. Waller should love him, he brought Jey Uso to RAW on his talk show, he also challenged The Rock on his home talk show and finally he's giving him his first main event on RAW tonight.
– Imperium enters the ring. Gunther says he's still here after his win over Jey Uso last Monday and is the longest reigning Intercontinental Champion in history. But he has to be honest, Jey almost beat him. For the first time he almost lost his title. He was lucky, no one is perfect, but he is close. Gunther says he wants to talk about his future before the Empire destroys the new day. For months, he put his heart and soul into making his title the most prestigious in the company. And he beat everyone who got in his way. So he has one more question: Who will be his opponent at WrestleMania? He's not under a rock, he's seen all of our messages and possible ridiculous matches. Sami Zayn, Chad Gable, The Miz and even R-Truth. The Last Judgment music begins and the clan enters the ring. Damian Priest says they are not afraid of the great Gunther. He hopes Gunther saw Elimination Chamber because they dominated and want to do the same at WrestleMania. Except they want to add even more gold to WrestleMania, including Gunther's title.
Gunther asks who will fight him since Priest won't cash in his briefcase now. Finn Balor? The guy with the big head? Dominik Mysterio stands in front of Gunther and Gunther laughs. Dominik says when Judgment Day says something, they mean it. That means the Intercontinental Title is theirs. Günther pushes Dominik. Priest is angry, but his clan calms him down.
– Back backstage, Rhea Ripley stops Judgment Day by telling Dominik to be careful. Dominik says he's looking after Gunther. Dominik continues but runs into Andrade El Idolo. Dominik says it's nice to see him again, but he's busy. Andrade says he has to go to Adam Pearce to find out his first opponent.

Kofi climbs to the corner to set up a two-way hold, but Vinci knocks him out of the ring through a table! Kaiser throws Woods into a chair and covers him for the win.
Winner: Empire
– We present a video about the career of Grayson Waller.
– Backstage, Chad Gable enters Adam Pearce's office. Gable says Gunther is looking for a WrestleMania opponent. He knows the entire roster will sell out, but here's why. He comes here as a wrestler, but also as a father. He was so close to winning last time, but the problem is he made his daughter cry. He has to fix this. It's about more than the title. Pearce says he'll think about it.
– Baszler and Stark say on video today that they were angry to see Hartwell and LeRae in Australia. The chance against the Kabuki Warriors was theirs.

-Back backstage, we find R-Truth, Miz and DIY in the Judgment Day dressing room. R-Truth said he wanted to enjoy the sunny days and spend some time here. DIY and Miz say they will seek revenge on Judgment Day to wipe everything out. Is he ready? The truth agrees.
– Drew McIntyre enters the ring and takes the microphone. Drew McIntyre says we did it. He needs to take a moment to thank everyone who prayed for him. Thanks to us it happened, Drew versus Seth Rollins for the World Heavyweight Championship at WrestleMania. He feels terrible because of the jet lag and also hurts his eardrum. He also had an incident after the show. He spoke to the doctor and the doctor told him that he might miss WrestleMania. He asked him if nothing could stop him from going to WrestleMania if the doctor mistook him for CM Punk. McIntyre says he knows it hurt CM Punk to miss the Elimination Chamber and see him in the title match. But he did something special for punk. He knows Punk has a drug- and alcohol-free lifestyle, so he drank twice as much in Punk's name on the way home. McIntyre changes the subject and asks Seth Rollins to join him. The champion enters the ring.
Seth welcomes us to Monday Night Rollins. Seth congratulates Drew on regaining his place in the title match. The two will face off a second time, but this time Drew has the chance to become world champion in front of a crowd at WrestleMania. But there's one thing standing in Drew's way, and that's the visionary, the revolutionary, Seth Rollins. Drew says Seth is right, he's on his way. But why should he be so hard on himself? Seth needs to stop with Cody, The Rock and Roman Reigns. Seth needs to rest, he needs Seth at 100% for WrestleMania. He doesn't understand why Seth would go to SmackDown for another match when RAW needs him. His responsibility will only be RAW and the title for him. If Rollins keeps this up, Bloodline will cost them the match at WrestleMania and interfere. So he asks Seth to give up on this story. Seth says he respects what Drew just said, but sometimes the risks are worth it.
Seth says Drew has known him for a long time, so Drew knows he's thought about it before. The truth is, Drew might be right. His knee may not be ready, his back may be bad, and WrestleMania with the Bloodline may not be easy. But what happens when Drew isn't right? Risks are worth it. He was selfish in his career and in his life. He's reached the top and still feels empty. Until he has his daughter and realizes that life isn't based on him. Caring for the bloodline is bigger than it. What happens if they don't take care of the bloodline before WrestleMania? The bloodline wants all the power and will fight for the world title. So if his knee is fine, they can get rid of the bloodline and secure the future of the company. If they can do all of this, it will be just the two of them fighting for the title at WrestleMania. He said it before Crown Jewel and will say it again: May the best man win.
– Nia enters the ring. Back, the game begins.
Single game
Nia Jax vs. Liv Morgan
At the end of the match, Becky Lynch arrives at ringside and directly attacks Nia Jax. The referee ends the fight.
Winner: Nia Jax by disqualification
– After the fight, Becky slams Nia's head against the announce table several times. Nia manages to escape.
– Backstage, Cathy is with Grayson Waller and Austin Theory for their pre-match commentary. Waller says he had the biggest newz in WWE, but the lack of respect from him is not okay. Now he's going to disrespect Cody at home. The Rock and the Bloodline will be able to absorb what's left because Cody will never finish his story.
– WWE pays tribute to Ole Anderson, who passed away today.
– Back, behind the scenes, Becky Lynch tells Adam Pearce that she needs to end her history with Nia Jax in order to advance to WrestleMania. Pearce makes the match official for next week on RAW. Liv Morgan comes out and says she did something in the ring, it doesn't all have to be based on Becky…
– Backstage, Jackie Jey asks Uso how he plans to return to a title shot. Jey says he will still come to RAW to main event Jey Uso. He was so close to becoming Intercontinental Champion. But he always fails the mission at the very end. Whether with his family or his former enemies from RAW. Drew McIntyre comes out and says he understands Jey Uso. Jey deserved it from the bottom of his heart. Jey punches him and the two trade blows! Officers arrive to separate them.
– Back, the commentators announce next Monday: Jey Uso vs. Drew McIntyre and Becky Lynch vs. Nia Jax.
Single game
Grayson Waller accompanied by Austin Theory against Cody Rhodes
At the end of the match, Cody dodges Waller's finisher and gives him a Cody Cutter. Cody continues his Cross Rhodes and counts to three.
Winner: Cody Rhodes
– After the fight, Cody celebrates his victory, but Paul Heyman arrives with security guards. Heyman begins his presentation, but Cody interrupts him and says it's not important, he's inviting the bloodline to come directly. Heyman says he's the only Bloodline member here. He is with the officers for his safety. He came here tonight to let Cody know that no one is asking for an apology. He understands that having a joke in his face must be offensive, but Cody needs to keep The Rock's name out of his mouth. Because his tribe leader Roman Reigns told him that The Rock would not forgive him. Cody is facing Roman Reigns in the main event of WrestleMania, so Cody has to overcome this challenge for The Rock or not. Cody asks what else? Cody says he didn't insult The Rock in the media because he's a rock fan like everyone else. He comes from a family where every meal came from tickets sold and The Rock was the one who sold the most tickets. But it's about eating out of the hands of the bloodline. You can come and get it.
Heyman enters the apron with his officers, but Cody refuses them entry. Cody is surrounded. Cody says if one person takes one more step, they will beat everyone in the ring. Heyman says the threat doesn't apply if it's him, right? Cody says that's not true. Cody takes his chair and punches the security guards. Heyman pulls out his phones and calls Reigns and The Rock. Cody says he's the one hunting the bloodline now ! Cody hits the security guards again and throws them out of the ring.
The show ends with a celebration for Cody.
