WWE is celebrating a new episode of Monday Night Raw tonight, this time number 1,714, from the iconic Madison Square Garden in New York. The red brand episode will continue its journey towards WrestleMania 42 and will be broadcast live on Netflix. Solowrestling will bring you the results in this news as every week.
Tonight's episode will feature several matches and segments of interest, including two title defenses. Additionally, Brock Lesnar, Roman Reigns, and CM Punk will be present at the venue. As always, we invite you to comment on the article to give your opinion on what happened in the show.
WWE Raw on Netflix begins!
We see the arrival of some of tonight's protagonists at the venue: CM Punk, The Irresistible Forces, and Oba Femi.
Cody Rhodes is the one to open the show. The Undisputed WWE Champion takes off his jacket before heading to the ring to a great ovation from the audience. Rhodes enters the ring, where he quickly asks for a microphone. "Cody, Cody!" chant the fans. Rhodes carries out his characteristic introduction, this time focused on the iconic venue hosting us tonight, and is about to start his promo when suddenly...
Stephanie McMahon bursts onto the scene!
Stephanie greets the front-row fans as she heads to the ring. Stephanie takes a microphone and stands next to Rhodes. "Stephanie, Stephanie!" chant the audience. "I'm surprised to see you here," says Rhodes. "I don't understand why you should be surprised. As far as I know, my name is Stephanie McMahon, and this is the house my grandfather built: Madison Square Garden," Stephanie replies. Cody smiles. "Okay. Stephanie McMahon, what do you want to talk about?" Cody asks. "Well, Cody. I want to talk about you. I want to talk about Randy Orton, and I want to talk about WrestleMania, only you won't like what I have to say," Stephanie replies.
Stephanie reminds Cody that both come from families that have been in this business for generations. That's why they understand better than anyone what it's like to be at the top. Both have come this far taking different paths. Rhodes chose the "golden path," and that's wonderful because he believed in himself and his values. This has led him to bring out the best in his rivals, but this time it won't be like that. "This time you won't be able to do it with this version of Randy Orton," says Stephanie. "This version of Randy Orton is diabolical. Cody, you don't have to be diabolical, but you must be able to think that way. You have to think like Randy. Your father understood that better than anyone," she adds. Dusty Rhodes was able to face the best and play as dirty as necessary to deal with them. "From what I've seen so far, you are not like your father," she says. "This version of Cody Rhodes cannot beat this version of Randy Orton. You have no idea who you're dealing with." "Randy, Randy!" chant the audience.
Cody doesn't want to disrespect Stephanie, but he really wonders if she truly believes he doesn't know who he's dealing with. Because Rhodes knows perfectly well everything Orton has done. He knows he is the youngest world champion in history, and he also knows his most violent version. The one that led him to attack and kick the head of numerous people, including his own father, as well as other atrocities that he couldn't mention on television. And some of them were done to Stephanie. That said, he assures that he is no longer a student of Randy. That ended when he conquered the WWE Championship. "I'm not the student. I don't fear Randy Orton. And this won't be my first WrestleMania. Do you want to talk about fathers? You're right, I'm not like mine. And, Stephanie McMahon, with all due respect, neither are you like yours," he says. Fans exclaim in surprise. Upset, Stephanie slaps Rhodes.
Stephanie makes it clear that she has come on stage because she cares about him and because he has no one to advise him in this situation. Stephanie insists that he will face an extremely dangerous version of Randy Orton. "Cody, you have to understand that Randy is not just listening to the voices in his head. He calls them. He loves what they tell him. He can control them, and it seems he's also listening to someone else. So, unless you learn to think like Randy, you will lose that title, and WrestleMania will be the last time Cody Rhodes is presented as the Undisputed WWE Champion," Stephanie says before hitting him in the chest with the microphone. Stephanie watches Rhodes for a moment before heading towards the apron. Suddenly, Cody grabs her arm to stop her. Rhodes stands face to face with Stephanie. Both look at each other in silence. "Stephanie McMahon, I have two words for you: thank you", says Rhodes before leaving. A smiling Stephanie watches the champion walk away. And so we reach the end of the first segment of the night.
We move backstage to see a desperate iShowSpeed asking Adam Pearce about the whereabouts of Danhausen, as he needs him to lift the curse that has been weighing on him since last week. As usual, Danhausen appears out of nowhere. iShowSpeed needs to get his life back. Danhausen offers to do it, for the "modest" price of 10 million dollars. No, better make it a billion and the rights to his streaming services. iShowSpeed can't give him what he asks for. Pearce interrupts them to indicate to the influencer that tonight he has a front-row seat to attend the World Tag Team Championships match. LA Knight, who will serve as a special commentator, appears on the scene to greet iShowSpeed. "The Megastar" takes care of accompanying him to ringside. Meanwhile, we see Je'Von Evans talking to Kofi Kingston in the background. Pearce turns to find Danhausen. "Aren't you supposed to disappear?" asks the General Manager. "Oh, yes," Danhausen replies as he looks at Adam over and over again. "Okay," he says before leaving. And so we reach the end of this segment.
LA Knight joins the commentary table for the first match of the night. Meanwhile, iShowSpeed is in the front row.
Street Fight for the World Tag Team Championships
The Usos (Jimmy and Jey Uso) (c) vs. The Vision (Austin Theory and Logan Paul)
The four men go on the attack as soon as the bell rings. Jimmy gets rid of Theory before teaming up with Jey to take down Logan. Both execute a double elbowdrop on "The Maverick," who ends up on ringside. Jey dives onto his opponents with a tope. Jimmy goes after Theory to bring him back into the ring. Austin quickly exits on the opposite side to look for a kendo stick.
Theory hits Jimmy with the kendo stick. Logan gets his own kendo stick. "We want tables!" chant the fans. Austin and Paul pull a table from under the ring. The audience cheers the moment, but soon becomes disillusioned when they understand the heels' true intentions, who quickly put the table back in place. Logan and Austin launch an assault on The Usos using the kendo sticks as weapons. Both men take their time to mock the fans with a "YEET."
Logan continues to strike Jey while Theory finally retrieves a table from under the ring. Austin sets the table in one of the corners before introducing a trash can as a new weapon. Logan follows his partner's lead. Theory and Paul try to crush the champions with the trash cans, but the Samoans move just in time for their opponents to hit each other. The Usos use the trash cans on their enemies. Logan receives a superkick in stereo with one of the cans covering the top of his body. Meanwhile, Theory receives a rain of attacks with the kendo sticks.
The Usos place the table in the center of the ring. Jimmy takes Theory to one of the corners, where he delivers a superkick. The Samoans perform a superplex on the table, which ends up shattered. "Holy sh*t!" chant the fans. Suddenly, Logan approaches his mother to hand him a golden brass knuckle. LA Knight notices this and rushes towards "The Maverick" to prevent it. Logan grabs iShowSpeed in a desperate act, but only manages to drag him along.
iShowSpeed ends up on ringside, where he picks up the brass knuckle. After getting rid of Paul, LA Knight approaches iShowSpeed from behind. The influencer startles when "The Megastar" touches his arm. Unconsciously, iShowSpeed throws a right hook at LA Knight, who ends up knocked out on the floor! The influencer puts his hands on his head, totally surprised by what just happened. "You messed up!" chant the fans. iShowSpeed removes the brass knuckle to leave it on the apron. After that, he retreats to the entrance ramp while continuing to apologize for what happened.
Logan picks up the knuckle, which he tries to use against Jimmy. He dodges the attack to respond with a superkick. The Samoans expel "The Maverick" from the ring with a stereo superkick. Jimmy and Jey repeat the move on Theory before the latter finishes him off with a spear. Jimmy tries to launch a suicide dive on Paul, but he receives a reinforced right hook with the brass knuckle. Jey, who was about to finish off Austin with a Uso Splash, changes his mind and jumps on Logan with a diving crossbody. Meanwhile, Theory covers an unconscious Jimmy in the ring. 1..2..3.
Winners and NEW World Tag Team Champions: AUSTIN THEORY AND LOGAN PAUL
Paul and Theory celebrate with iShowSpeed on the entrance ramp. The influencer tries to explain that it was all a regrettable accident, but The Vision members don't listen to him.
We see a video recap of last week's main segment.
We see Jeff Ross and Lin-Manuel Miranda in the front row.
Liv Morgan makes her entrance. Morgan addresses the New York fans to remind them that they are in the presence of the greatest Royal Rumble winner of all tiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiime. "And that’s the nicest thing you’re going to see from me tonight, because Stephanie Vaquer, you’re done, bitch," she says. Liv calls out the Chilean for attacking her family last week, including Dominik Mysterio. But it doesn’t surprise her, because Vaquer has no family in the United States. Stephanie accused her of hiding behind her family, but it’s “La Primera” who attacks from behind. And that’s because Stephanie is afraid to face her face to face. "You know what? My mother taught me to never let anyone beat me. And what about your mother? Your mother is trash, bitch!", Liv says in Spanish. "Where are you, Stephanie? I’m waiting for you right here, alone! Why don’t you come get me?"
Stephanie Vaquer appears!
Furious, Stephanie storms into the ring to start a fight with Liv. Vaquer knocks Morgan out with a superkick. The Chilean leaves the ring to grab a steel chair. She returns to the ring, ready to continue her assault, but... Roxanne Perez attacks her from behind!
Perez and Morgan team up against Stephanie. Roxy holds the World Champion against the ropes so her partner can deliver an ObLIVion onto the steel chair. "I’m so much better than you, you stupid bitch!" Liv shouts as she poses with Perez, placing a foot on Stephanie. Morgan picks up the Chilean’s title, raises it, and kisses it before throwing it back onto its rightful owner. And that brings this segment to an end.
Logan Paul and Austin Theory continue celebrating backstage with iShowSpeed. He insists that what happened was a regrettable accident and that he didn’t mean to... Logan interrupts him, pointing out that none of that matters now, because the influencer has just made a powerful enemy. “The Maverick” advises him to stay close to them—that’s the only way he’ll be safe. Paul Heyman appears and tells iShowSpeed to listen to them. "Relax. You’re in good hands. You’re with the Tag Team Champions. You’re with The Vision. They will protect you," says “The Oracle” before suggesting they go somewhere to eat and celebrate. Paul and Theory take iShowSpeed with them. “The Usos are going to kill him,” Paul says once iShowSpeed is out of earshot. Adam Pearce approaches Heyman and asks if he has checked his email. “Why? Did you send me an email to ask me out?” Paul replies sarcastically. “No. What’s wrong with you? Emails aren’t for that,” the General Manager responds. “Well, if there’s something wrong with me, maybe you should write a memo and send it by email,” Heyman replies before walking away. “Email, he says!” exclaims “The Oracle” as he leaves.

Tonight, he has the chance to be in the most famous arena of all. Walking through Times Square, he decided to make a big announcement: WWE will return to Madison Square Garden for a new edition of Saturday Night’s Main Event on July 18. He also announces that tickets go on sale April 2. He then reveals his “Canon-hausen 2.0” and fires T-shirts into the crowd.

Brock Lesnar and Paul Heyman make their entrance. “The Beast” is ready to fight. “Ooooooba, Oooooooba!” chant the fans. Heyman introduces himself as the advocate for “The Real Main Event of WrestleMania,” “The Beast,” “The Conqueror,” BROOOOCK LESNAR. He explains the danger Oba Femi is in. Oba has taken advantage of Lesnar twice—first by surprise after a brawl, and then when Brock came out to talk, not fight. But not this time. Lesnar is ready. History shows that when Brock stares someone down, they crack under pressure. Tired of waiting, Lesnar grabs the mic: "OBA! OBA FEMI! GET YOUR ASS OUT HERE RIGHT NOW!"
Adam Pearce appears with security, making it clear that won’t happen. His job is to ensure WrestleMania matches go ahead, so he won’t let them ruin it. Suddenly, the lights go out.

Still, he gives Dom credit for using a plan Finn himself once used. He recalls supporting Dominik when he turned on his father, but now blames him for losing the Intercontinental Championship.

"And do you know why? Because I am Penta, Cero Miedo!" Penta poses in the center of the ring to end the segment.
Adam Pearce approaches Paul Heyman backstage and asks about Brock Lesnar. Heyman says “The Beast” has already left the building. Pearce again asks if he has checked his email. Heyman brushes it off, saying as a true New Yorker he doesn’t need emails—he just listens and smells what’s happening in the streets. “So, smelled anything interesting today?” Pearce asks. "Yes. I smelled the stench of a corporate General Manager," Heyman replies. "And if you think that’s bad, wait until you hear what I have to say in the ring," he adds before walking away.
Dominik Mysterio appears on the entrance ramp to heavy boos. He says he should be standing there as Intercontinental Champion, but Finn Bálor cost him two chances to reclaim it.

I am an Oracle. I see the future. So whether I hack your emails or listen to calls I shouldn’t be on, there is nothing—NOTHING—you can tell me that I don’t already know,” Heyman says.
