With seven weeks to go before WrestleMania 42, Roman Reigns returned to WWE Monday Night Raw and wasted no time getting into it with CM Punk. The two had a heated exchange that made it clear their main event clash is personal.
Gunther defeated Dragon Lee by submission.
Original El Grande Americano picked up a pinfall victory over Rayo Americano.
Jimmy Uso beat Austin Theory via disqualification after interference from Logan Paul.
Penta defeated Dominik Mysterio by pinfall to capture the Intercontinental Championship.
The night began with Paul Heyman and The Vision talking about Logan Paul’s loss at Elimination Chamber and blaming Seth Rollins. Heyman insulted Rollins and said he steals the spotlight from others. Adam Pearce came out and said Rollins was not cleared to compete. Suddenly, masked men ran in. In the chaos, Rollins appeared and attacked Heyman with a chair and hit him with a stomp. Heyman was left bleeding and taken away in an ambulance. Backstage, Jimmy Uso attacked Austin Theory and threw him into a pile of boxes. LA Knight was revealed as the ambulance driver and drove Heyman away.

You can tell how much this entire moment meant to him, even if it seemed like a small thing to us. His dream since he was a kid was to be a champion in the WWE, and after 20 years... #WWEraw pic.twitter.com/RtKXkZYXMx
The new Women’s Intercontinental Champion, AJ Lee, thanked the fans and said she proved she still belongs. She promised to be a fighting champion and invited anyone to challenge her. Backstage, Bayley and Lyra Valkyria discussed stepping up, while IYO SKY made it clear she is also interested.
The show ended with Reigns and Punk trading strong words. Reigns said he hates Punk and warned him about what would happen at WrestleMania. Punk fired back, saying Reigns is only in the main event because of him. Their rivalry feels intense and real, and the road to WrestleMania is only getting hotter.
