WWE Raw Deal 03/03/25 Review – TJR Wrestling
The excitement was palpable as WWE Raw kicked off, fresh off the heels of an electrifying Elimination Chamber pay-per-view event. As I watched the show with eager anticipation, I couldn’t help but wonder what surprises lay in store for fans. In this article, we’ll dive into the highlights and key takeaways from the show, which featured a star-studded lineup and plenty of plot twists.
The Road to WrestleMania 41
With WrestleMania 41 just around the corner, the journey to the grandest spectacle in sports entertainment has already begun. While we’re still a few weeks away from the main event, the stage is set for an unforgettable experience. John Cena, the legendary Superstar, is set to make his return to Raw on March 17th in Brussels, Belgium, followed by appearances on March 24th and March 31st. Expect the former 16-time world champion to bring his A-game, as he’ll be focusing on the road to WrestleMania 41.
Women’s Championship Shakeup
In a shocking turn of events, IYO Sky defeated Rhea Ripley to become the new Women’s World Champion. This title change saw the two Superstars battle it out in an exhausting, nearly 20-minute match that left the audience on the edge of their seats. The highlight-reel action saw both competitors give it their all, with Sky ultimately emerging victorious. This marks a significant development in the women’s division, with many possibilities for the future.
CM Punk’s Explosive Promo
CM Punk made a triumphant return to the ring, unleashing a scathing promo that left fans in awe. Berated by the commentary team, Punk took to the ring, demanding to be heard. He issued a verbal assault on John Cena, The Rock, and Seth Rollins, leaving no holds barred. With a performance that rivaled his heyday in the WWE, Punk set the stage for an intense feud with Rock and Rollins, culminating in a definitive match.
Women’s World Championship Tournament
With IYO Sky holding the title, the stage is set for a thrilling Women’s World Championship tournament. The question on everyone’s mind: who will be the next challenger? Will Rhea Ripley, the former champion, get her rematch, or will another competitor emerge to challenge the new champion?
Final Thoughts
This episode of Raw offered a mix of exciting matches, intense promos, and a dash of drama. While it wasn’t perfect, with only four matches spanning over two and a half hours, the show was engaging and left fans eagerly anticipating the next chapter in the WWE’s storied history. With WrestleMania 41 looming, the road to Las Vegas will be filled with twists and turns, and we can’t wait to see what’s in store.
