Is the Raw After Mania back? I wouldsay absolutely without a doubt. Last nights show hit on so many different levels for me. After a few duds over the last couple years, this Raw After Mania hit so well, it deserved its own Top 5. Considering it’s Tuesday and there is so much wrestling left in the week it would have been tough to fit any hint else in. So instead of making you all wait to read about it next week, let’s dive head first into my favorite moments from last nights epic show:
Becky Lynch Turns on Lyra Valkyria!
One Night after winning the Tag Team Championships Lynch and Lyra Valkyria lose them back to Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez. The match itself was a really good one and Liv and Raquel are now 4 Time Champions. What’s even crazier is Becky turned on the Intercontinental Champion post match and left her laying in the ring. For me Heel Becky is always a fun ride and I can’t wait to see what her explanation is down the line. Also that IC title match will be without question a banger!
Rusev has Returned!
After Ich rumor and speculation that RUSEV had resigned with the WWE he has finally returned to the company. As rumors ran wild that he would potentially be Randy Ortons Partner at Mania but instead it’s the Raw After Mania where he lands. Rusev puts the whole roster on notice after wrecking an impromptu Tag make between the New Day and Alpha Academy.
Women’s Wrestling Is Alive and Well!
Sure, Thunder Rosa held up the sign on an AEW Program but that statement reigns true throughout the business. The RAW After Mania showcased just how damn special their roster is.
Iyo Sky came out to celebrate her WrestleMania victory and none other than the faster rising star in wrestling NXT Women’s Champion Stephanie Vaquer stepped up and made the challenge and Iyo accepted. A banger of a match ensued until Roxanne Perez and Giulia of NXT busted up the match. To only be met by Mami herself Rhea Ripley saving Iyo and Vaquer! Oh and by the way Mami reminded Iyo she’ll be back for that title! What a great segment to showcase unbelievable talent!
Gunther is Unhinged!
Gunther is slowly becoming the most dangerous person on the planet, if that’s was even possible. He lost his title to Jey Uso at WrestleMania. So after the Jey Uso Celebration Gunther was not happy with the way Micheal Cole and Pat McAfee spoke about the Ring General. Listen, it was pretty bold of Cole to tell Gunther to his Face “I’m not the One Who Tapped Out” which cause Gunther to attack Cole and McAfee wasn’t having it and jumped in to the defense of Cole only to get laid out. Shoutout to Cole for coming back to commentary and standing on business after Adam Pearce offer to give him the rest of the night off! M
Another Paul Heyman Guy!
Last nights Raw After Mania ended in spectacular fashion. As Seth Rollins and Paul Heyman were just about to explain their actions from WrestleMania. CM Punks music hits and he beelines for Rollins. Seth ultimately fought him off. Then Heyman looks to end the show putting over Rollins while standing over Punk. Hell, that would have made for an epic ending in itself. Well, the OTC Roman Reigns arrives and spears the crap out of Rollins then Superman Punches Heyman. Now again that would have been a killer ending to a great show. As Roman stands tall a spear from a gentleman in a hoodies lays out Reigns! It’s none other than former Intercontinental Champion Bron Breakker! Rollins and Breakker proceed to decimate Punk and Reigns to the enjoyment of Paul Heyman, as the kids say these days “Cinema” what a way to end a fantastic Raw After Mania!
