What did The Rock say to Cody Rhodes on Raw? Here’s 1 report that makes sense

Turns out maybe The Rock did keep a promise he made to Cody Rhodes on WWE Raw.

Now that we’ve had a few days to recover from The Rock beating Cody Rhodes bloody on the March 25 episode of WWE Raw, there’s one part of the chaos that night that hasn’t been officially revealed: What did The Rock say to Cody during the first segment of the show?

To set the scene, recall that instead of getting on the microphone when he made his unadvertised appearance, The Rock joined Rhodes in the ring and whispered something to him. He left smiling while Cody looked like he saw a ghost.

(It wasn’t the first time this happened either, as The Rock also said something to Rhodes that the audience couldn’t hear on the Feb. 2 edition of SmackDown, one of the moments that set the entire Rock-Rhodes-Roman Reigns-Seth Rollins storyline into motion.)

WWE backstage interviewer Jackie Redmond asked The Rock what he said but was redirected to ask Rhodes. When she did, Cody noted that it wasn’t something he wanted to repeat out loud but called it a promise The Rock couldn’t keep.

As it turns out, that might not have been true. Bryan Alvarez of Wrestling Observer Radio said this week that The Rock promised to make Rhodes bleed … which is of course exactly what happened during the show’s dramatic final segment.

Well, that and The Rock saying “look at you now” and variations of that a lot of times while laying the smack down on the American Nightmare.

Not only did The Rock potentially do exactly what he told Rhodes he would, but he was also carrying out on his vow to “Mama Rhodes” that Cody’s blood would end up on his belt. Whether he’ll find Cody’s mom and sing part of “You’re Welcome” to her remains to be seen.

It’s possible that Rhodes could be looking for some payback on the April 1 episode of Raw, where The Rock is already scheduled to appear. If not, Cody will certainly have his chance to fire back when he and Rollins team to take on The Rock and Reigns on night 1 of WrestleMania 40, which goes down on Saturday, April 6.

The secret to the best Raw in years? WWE let its stars be stars

Trusting its top talent to be true to themselves is paying off big time for WWE right now.

For years and years and years, regular WWE watchers complained about the creative constraints WWE would put on its roster of wrestlers.

The fact that WWE was presenting a PG, family-friendly product was not the sole reason for this either. A lot of it also had to do with the fact that Vince McMahon would oftentimes put creative governors on wrestlers that, simply put, did not allow them to get over.

McMahon couldn’t just let his stars be the stars he so desperately wanted them to be. They all had to do so under his arbitrary rules for how wrestling — or sports entertainment — should be presented. If they didn’t succeed, it was the fault of the wrestler, not the fault of the creatively stifling environment they had to endure.

Fortunately, McMahon is no longer in charge of WWE’s creative vision, and the company’s new regime, led by Chief Content Officer Paul “Triple H” Levesque, has in many ways discarded many of McMahon’s doctrines. That goes from the stories the company is telling to how they are produced.

The results have been overwhelmingly positive. That’s not just me lauding WWE’s creative direction. The proof is in the fact that WWE has sold out a slew of television tapings — something that was unheard of during the end of McMahon’s tenure — and has enjoyed a sizable boost to its overall business.

Which leads me to this past Monday when WWE packed the AllState Arena in Rosemont, Ill. for its most recent episode of Raw, a show that has been hailed as one of WWE’s best in recent memory. 

So what’s WWE’s secret? It’s doing what McMahon seemingly forgot to do for the last decade-plus of tumultuous tenure: let the stars be stars.

On one show, we had CM Punk, Drew McIntyre and Seth Rollins participate in a spicy verbal confrontation that clearly didn’t have the paint-by-numbers scripting of McMahon’s worst days. Instead, we saw three talented wrestlers simply riffing on the microphone.

Only in this environment could we see just how good McIntyre actually is on the microphone. That was never the case under McMahon.

We saw Becky Lynch punch Dominik Mysterio square in the mouth, which only cemented how much of a badass “The Man” is supposed to be.

We saw R-Truth continue to be R-Truth, which honestly is enough for me.

We also saw some fantastic matches, which have always been a staple in WWE. The problem previously was that the story surrounding the great in-ring action rarely matched it.

And of course, we witnessed The Rock beat the brakes off Cody Rhodes during a Chicago downpour while talking all sorts of trash to Rhodes, Rhodes’ mother and to all of the “Cody Crybabies.”

It looked like a scene straight out of an action movie, where the hero is beaten down and left for dead at the end of the second act, only to enact their revenge in the third. We even got to see Rhodes bleed, which has not been a common occurrence on WWE television for multiple decades at this point.

It was, in a word — and I know this gets thrown around a lot these days — cinema.

However, I do have one minor quibble with the final segment, and it’s the fact that Rhodes never really fought back. One of the pillars of being a great babyface is that they never stop fighting. That’s what makes them noble and endearing to fans. I’m not saying Rhodes needed to beat down The Rock for an extended period of time. Only one swing would have sufficed for me, which is better than nothing.

With that said, I’d be willing to put money down on Rhodes getting his revenge on The Rock on next week’s episode of Raw, which will emanate from Brooklyn. The Rock and Roman Reigns are both scheduled to appear, and the running theme during that show has to be that Rhodes is out for blood, no pun intended. I wouldn’t be surprised if WWE is planning to produce one of its best pull-apart brawls in recent memory.

It’s wrestling booking at its most basic level, but it is being executed at its highest. WWE gave people a lot to digest this past Monday and somehow left myself and many others wanting more.

Allowing the wrestlers color outside of the lines, especially when you’re promoting the company’s most important show to date, is what’s really driving WWE’s business to a new level. That does not mean I am calling for the return of the “Attitude Era,” which can stay in the past where it belongs. However, I’m not against a few four-letter words slipping out as long as the network is good with it as well.

At the end of the day, it just makes sense. If you have The Rock at your disposal, well, let him be The Rock. Let him talk all the trash he needs to in order to get his point across. That’s what makes him great. If you have CM Punk at your disposal, give him a live microphone, a bare-bones script, and tell him to fill in the blanks. That’s what makes him great.

Never backing down from a fight is what makes Lynch great. By letting McIntyre be great, we realized that the man cut a heck of a promo and his social media trolling game is top notch.

And allowing the wrestlers to blossom into the stars that they could potentially be is what has made WWE such much fun to watch heading into WrestleMania. It’s been a while since wrestling fans can say that.

That is not to say that the rules and regulations of yesteryear have been completely tossed out of the window. There have been reports of some wrestlers complaining about the fact that they don’t get to play by the same rules as some of the bigger names.

But even if WWE doesn’t allow every wrestler to shout “f–k” and “dips–t” into the microphone every night, the roster has still benefited from this shift in philosophy. We’re seeing just how much right now.

WWE production didn’t know CM Punk would curse in epic promo with Drew McIntyre, Seth Rollins

The CM Punk-Drew McIntyre-Seth Rollins promo segment was reportedly outlined but not heavily scripted this week on WWE Raw.

WWE might be cracking down on bad language in live broadcasts (except for The Rock since he’s, you know, the Final Boss), but CM Punk still managed to slip a curse into the amazing promo segment he had this week on WWE Raw with Drew McIntyre and Seth Rollins.

While the three men engaged in a memorable exchange of taunts and insults, Rollins asked the fans in attendance at the Allstate Arena near Chicago whether they’d want to see Punk as a guest commentator for his World Heavyweight Championship defense against McIntyre at WrestleMania 40. The fans suggested something else with a “referee” chant.

The injured Punk shot down Rollins’ barb that his counting arm is the one that’s hurt by doing a quick three-count with his left arm. He then added, “In all fairness, I really don’t think I could be objectively fair with these two dips–ts, so … ”

Whoever was on the bleep-out button was quick to ensure the curse didn’t go out over the air, but according to Fightful Select (subscription required), they also didn’t know what to expect in this relatively unscripted segment.

The promo was listed as one segment, and was produced by Adam Pearce, as there was physicality between Rollins and McIntyre. We’re told that WWE production wasn’t anticipating CM Punk’s line where he cursed, and there was a memo sent to talent recently that discouraged them from swearing on the air.

McIntyre was referencing that memo when he picked up the mic while seated at the announce table and deadpanned “PG, brother” in response to Punk. Fortunately, Fightful’s people also said they “haven’t heard of any issues backstage after the promos as it relates to heat or anything of that sort.”

By the way, you’ll want to do yourself a favor and watch the whole segment if you missed Raw live, because it really is a treat from start to finish.

Rollins and McIntyre will meet with Punk apparently calling the action when WrestleMania 40 night 2 takes place on Sunday, April 7.

WWE Raw results 03/25/24: The Rock bloodies Cody, CM Punk makes Mania plans

The Fina Boss lived up to his word on WWE Raw from Chicago, much to Cody Rhodes’ detriment.

“Look in my eyes, what do you see? CM Punk on my TV!”

OK those aren’t the actual words to “Cult of Personality,” but they do fit the rhythm and also summarize the big selling point for WWE Raw tonight in (well really near) Chicago. Even though Punk won’t be able to compete at WrestleMania due to injury, there’s no reason he can’t address what is sure to be a rabid hometown crowd.

Considering Drew McIntyre keeps talking about him even while he’s out, Punk has stayed hot even while he’s been rehabbing his torn triceps. Our feeling here at Wrestling Junkie is that he and the Scottish Warrior are going to have a feud later this year, assuming McIntyre wins gold at WrestleMania.

Seth Rollins is going to have something to say about that, of course, and he might get involved in tonight’s festivities too. We know McIntyre is in town.

As for actual wrestling matches, WWE has promoted a bunch of those as well, including solo outings for Jey Uso and Sami Zayn, Ricochet taking on JD McDonagh, Andrade in action against Ivar, and new queen of the mean girls Candice LeRae battling Ivy Nile.

That’s plenty of reason to tune in even if you weren’t looking forward to seeing Punk, though you know you are. Here’s how it all unfolded.

WWE Raw results from Chicago:

(please scroll down for more details on any match or segment in bold)

  • CM Punk and Cody Rhodes are shown on the way into the building, after which we see highlights from the final segment of SmackDown that led to a standoff between Rhodes and Roman Reigns
  • Cody Rhodes is kicking us off, but The Rock is here too, and something he says to Cody has him a little shook
  • Jackie Redmond wants to know what The Rock said, but he suggest she ask Cody instead
  • The Judgment Day gets ready for tonight, with JD McDonagh saying he’ll handle Ricochet and Damian Priest suggesting he has a plan to have things in their favor heading into WrestleMania
  • Ricochet def. JD McDonagh by pinfall, shaking off distractions from Dominik Mysterio, who gets himself ejected from ringside before the finish
  • CM Punk has his homecoming, which turns into a discussion with Drew McIntyre and Seth Rollins about WrestleMania
  • A short video shows Shinsuke Nakamura saying he’ll be a nightmare for Jey Uso tonight
  • Candice LeRae def. Ivy Nile by pinfall, again taking shortcuts and again making Indi Hartwell look like she feels bad
  • The New Day and #DIY do some backstage bickering when they’re visited by The Awesome Truth; R-Truth is hyped because he thinks it’s going to be The New Day vs. DX, and is that Paul Heyman talking to McIntyre in the background?
  • The New Day vs. #DIY ends in a no contest as The Judgment Day attacks both teams, and Awesome Truth (who were on guest commentary) ends up getting hauled into the mess and laid out as well
  • Redmond finds Rhodes, but Cody says it’s something he can’t repeat but suggests “it’s a promise that he can’t keep”
  • Cathy Kelley talks to Gunther, who doubles down on his assertion that Sami Zayn doesn’t really think he can win at WrestleMania, or even beat Bronson Reed tonight
  • Andrade def. Giovanni Vinci by pinfall
  • When are Rhea Ripley and Becky Lynch finally going to throw down? How about right now
  • Chad Gable stops Sami Zayn and pleads with him to focus on his match tonight; Sami appreciates the tough love approach and says Chad is right, then shakes his hand
  • Bronson Reed def. Sami Zayn by pinfall after a distraction by Gunther proves costly for Sami
  • Jey Uso cuts his pre-match promo on Nakamura, but he gets a quick visit from Solo Sikoa, who says nothing, and Jimmu Uso, who says “no yeet”
  • Zayn laments to Gable that he knew what Gunther was doing and it still worked; Chad says that Sami needs a different approach, and they can talk about it
  • Rollins finds Jey and says something doesn’t feel right, but that he and Cody have his back so he can get that dub
  • Jey Uso def. Shinsuke Nakamura by pinfall, despite The Bloodline and McIntyre scrapping with Rhodes and Rollins
  • That fighting continues to the backstage area, where The Rock attacks Rhodes with a variety of weapons, including trash cans, and they battle outside into the rain, where Cody is busted open while The Rock wipes his blood on the belt just as he said he would last week


The Rock manages to unsettle Cody Rhodes with just a whisper

What does Chicago want to talk about? Cody could say nothing, as the talk is kind of over this close to WrestleMania. After getting the fans to cheer for Pat McAfee and Michael Cole, Rhodes talks about how Roman Reigns said a lot during his media rounds last week.

A “Roman sucks” chant loudly rings through the arena while Cody says the idea that he’s not keeping his promises got under his skin. He’s actually done plenty of promise-keeping, even for people he doesn’t really know. Cody says he’s had to play the role of champion because the champion isn’t here.

Even though Rhodes says he’s done all of this without asking for anything in return, he does need something now: He needs the fans to ride with him for both nights of WrestleMania. Now he wants all 15,000 people in the arena to point at the WrestleMania sign with him, which they do.

That is quickly answered though, by the unadvertised arrival of The Rock, which also sends the fans into a frenzy. There are some “Rocky” chants among the boos, for sure. Oh, and some “holy s–t” chants that have to be blanked out.

After an extended staredown and a smirk from The Final Boss, The Rock simply whispers something to Cody and leaves The Ring, bringing “Rocky sucks” chants as he smiles and walks to the back.


CM Punk will be at WrestleMania, but will he get the last word with Seth Rollins and Drew McIntyre?

The fans in Chicago greet Punk warmly before he says he will definitely be at WrestleMania. He says his arm is not great and he’s not medically cleared, but his mouth works. Does that mean he will host WrestleMania? Ten years ago he said he would have felt that was beneath him, but now he wishes he could just be in front of the people.

What about being a referee? Is there a title match that could use an impartial referee? People sure like talking about him, though, and Punk mentions that Roman Reigns talked about him on Pat McAfee’s show, but he’s earned the right.

Seth Rollins also likes talking about him, but Punk also figures maybe he’s earned the right too. In contrast, The Rock hasn’t talked about him, but Punk likes to think it’s because he already knows his arms “were just too short to box with God.”

And then there’s Drew McIntyre. Punk says he’s been very quiet because in Chicago, if you have a problem you handle it face to face like a man. The Scottish Warrior arrives and promptly gets a dose of verbal venom, which gets the fans on him too.

McIntyre says he’d love to head to the ring but also reminds Punk of what happened last time that happened. As they argue about t-shirts, McIntyre claims he doesn’t hate Punk, because CM completes him.

They finally end up finding something to argue about: McIntyre calling himself The Chosen One. Punk wants to know who chose him, because it wasn’t the people.

Drew insists he wants CM to have a front row seat at WrestleMania to see McIntyre have his long awaited moment in front of a stadium full of live fans.

That, in turn, brings out Seth Rollins, and the fans reach full throat again. Rollins, of course, doesn’t like Punk and says he doesn’t get to make decisions about a WrestleMania main event when he’s not in it.

Still, Rollins decides to poll the crowd: Should Punk be on commentary? That “referee” chant suggests they’d prefer something out. Punk demonstrates he can count with his left arm but also says he doesn’t think he could be impartial with “these two dips–ts,” to which McIntyre hilariously quips “PG, brother.”

Seth insists he never even thinks about Punk but appreciates the irony of him calling Rollins’ finest hour. He says Punk can do whatever he wants at WrestleMania as long as stays out of Seth’s way.

Punk says it’s decided: He’ll do guest commentary and manage to actually make them both interesting. An angry McIntyre says Punk doesn’t get the last word, insisting that Punk is “my No. 1 Stan,” but he climbs in the ring as he’s talking and gets a superkick and a Stomp from Rollins.


Words finally turn to fists for Rhea Ripley, Becky Lynch

Is Ripley getting enough attention? She tells Dirty Dom she doesn’t think so, saying Becky Lynch keeps fighting other people week after week. Though Rhea figures she could have attacked The Man at any time, she decided to be respectful.

Now she’s just getting impatient. Mysterio is about to throw in his two cents when Lynch’s music hits. Becky taunts Rhea about not ever wrestling on Raw any more, to which Ripley says she doesn’t need to be in the ring every week to get everyone’s attention. She can just post a photo or video online and “watch these freaks eat it up.”

They simply have different opinions on what being a champion is all about. Ripley agrees that Lynch is a survivor … or really a cockroach, since she’s hard to kill but not impossible. Rhea says she’ll leave Becky alive so she can sit on her couch and hear her daughter call Ripley Mami.

Lynch says if Ripley ever mentions her daughter again, it will be the last words Rhea ever utters. Neither her quips nor the title is a joke to Becky, even if they are to Rhea. Lynch also says when Ripley throws the first punch, there’s no going back, and neither of them will ever be the same again.

Dom holds Rhea back, but that gets him punched, and now Becky and Rhea are throwing hands. They battle onto the ramp, where referees finally arrive to separate them.


Jey Uso perseveres through chaos, pins Shinsuke Nakamura

It’s all yeets early, meaning strikes from Jey, but Shinsuke manages to fight back pretty quickly. The question is how long will it be until this all degenerates into chaos.

It won’t be until after the commercial break, when Solo Sikoa and Jimmy Uso emerge from the crowd and are quickly intercepted by Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins. Here comes Drew McIntyre too, who ends up giving Rollins a Future Shock on the floor.

Amidst the melee on the floor, Uso is able to superkick and spear Nakamura, ending the match.

WWE Raw preview 03/25/24: CM Punk is home in Chicago

Here’s what to expect for WWE Raw from (near) Chicago, including both Jey Uso and Sami Zayn in action.

Yes, CM Punk is still injured. Does that matter when WWE Raw is coming to Chicago tonight?

No, no it does not.

Here’s what to watch for on this final Monday of March, less than two weeks out from WrestleMania 40.

What can CM Punk do to spice up the Road to WrestleMania?

Well, he’s still great on the microphone, right? We’d fully expect that the Best in the World will have a few interesting comments on how WrestleMania is shaping up, particularly since the champion we all thought he’d be facing in Philly (Seth Rollins) is on this show.

There’s someone else who won’t keep Punk’s name out of his mouth, however, and that someone is Drew McIntyre. The Scottish Warrior has practically made trolling Punk his own cottage industry at this point, so it would be silly not to expect Chicago’s favorite son to address that tonight.

Can Jey Uso, Sami Zayn remain on track?

Both Jey Uso and Sami Zayn know what they’ll be doing at WrestleMania, competing in matches that have high emotional stakes for different reasons. Conveniently, the former Bloodline teammates (seems like a lifetime ago now!) both are in action tonight in the kind of “can’t afford to look past this bout” showcases that at their best can make pro wrestling feel more like unscripted sports.

Jey gets Shinsuke Nakamura, while Sami takes on Bronson Reed. Those are men who are prickly even in the best of times, and are certainly in foul moods now that their own chances at WrestleMania glory seem to have fallen by the wayside. Plus there’s always the chance that Jimmy Uso or Gunther could interfere, so … yeah.

Advertised WWE Raw card for Chicago 3/25/24:

  • CM Punk returns to Raw
  • Jey Uso vs. Shinsuke Nakamura
  • Sami Zayn vs. Bronson Reed
  • Ricochet vs. JD McDonagh
  • Ivy Nile vs. Candice LeRae
  • Andrade vs. Ivar

WWE Raw results 03/18/24: The Man takes flight to be Last Woman Standing

This week on WWE Raw, Becky Lynch outlasted Nia Jax, Cody Rhodes spit fire at The Rock, and Sami Zayn questioned himself.

Becky Lynch doesn’t do tune-up matches. She only does big time bouts even while on the Road to WrestleMania, and she’s got another one tonight on WWE Raw in Raleigh.

See, there’s something that just doesn’t sit right with The Man about Nia Jax. It’s not just that Jax beat Lynch clean earlier this year, though that’s definitely a big part of it.

The rest has to do with Lynch trying to prove she’s the best at what she does when she faces Rhea Ripley at WrestleMania 40. How can she claim to be the top dog if she can’t first say definitively she’s better than Jax?

Becky would tell you she can’t. That’s why we’ve ended up with a Last Woman Standing match less than three weeks out from Philadelphia. It should be really fun, and there’s definitely a chance that Liv Morgan gets involved as well. What would that mean for the Showcase of the Immortals? We’ll find out soon enough.

The other big thing on tonight’s Raw is getting more teams into the Six-Pack Ladder Match for the men’s tag team titles at WrestleMania. There are three qualifying matches on the card this evening, and the one we’ve really got our eye on is #DIY vs. The Creed Brothers. Honestly seems like both teams would be great to have in the title match, so we’re not sure which way this one will go.

Oh, and there’s going to be a contract signing between Gunther and Sami Zayn, so if you’re one of the people still holding out hope that Chad Gable works his way into a Triple Threat situation, this would be the time.

We’re pumped for this Raw, one of only three left before WrestleMania. Let’s get into it.

  • A hype video is shown for the Last Woman Standing match, along with a shot of Becky on her way into the arena

  • #DIY def. The Creed Brothers by pinfall in a WrestleMania Tag Team Qualifying Match

  • Drew McIntyre is interrupted immediately by Seth Rollins, who poses an interesting question: Is Drew more like Seth than he’d care to admit?
  • Becky Lynch cuts a short promo ahead of her main event with Jax
  • The New Day def. Alpha Academy (Akira Tozawa and Otis) by pinfall in a WrestleMania Tag Team Qualifying Match
  • Liv Morgan stops by and tells Becky that Nia is all hers tonight — just make sure you kick her ass
  • Rollins checks in with Rhodes, who again insists he’s going to face Reigns solo on SmackDown
  • Becky Lynch def. Nia Jax in a Last Woman Standing Match
  • As Lynch takes a moment to compose herself after a hard-fought victory, she’s joined in the ring by Rhea Ripley, and the two stand eye to eye exchanging pleasantries as Raw goes off the air

Jey, Jimmy Uso talk WrestleMania, and Cody Rhodes ensures there’s no Bloodline ambush

Pat McAfee is already tired from participating in the Yeetdown. Michael Cole mentions that it will be only the third time that it’s brother vs. brother at WrestleMania. Jey says he knows The Bloodline is in the building and asks big brother Jimmy where he’s at.

Jimmy comes through the crowd, side by side with Solo Sikoa. But Solo stands outside the ring, allowing Jey and Jimmy to come face to face. Jey says regardless of what’s happened and the bad blood, he misses his twin.

Jey asks Jimmy to come back, but Jimmy insists he never left. After running down all the things Jey’s done since going to Raw, he claims the biggest moment of his career is because of … Jimmy.

Jey says nah, that his biggest career moment will be at WrestleMania 40 when he knocks the yeet out of his ass. Jey gets in the first shot, but Jimmy is able to land a superkick thanks to a distraction from Solo. it could be a two-on-one beatdown, but here comes Cody Rhodes, who chucks Jimmy aside and hits a Cody Cutter on Sikoa.


Cody Rhodes has some pointed insults for The Rock and negotiates a bit with Paul Heyman

Rhodes is dressed in all black tonight, perhaps a sign of what kind of headspace he’s in. Cody starts off by reminding us that in less than three weeks, he’s going to face the greatest champion in all of sports once again.

He’ll have a conversation with Roman Reigns on SmackDown about that, but there are complications, the biggest one being The Rock. Rhodes brings up The Rock referring to himself as our favorite heel and runs down some of the great heels he’s known.

“Rock, I don’t think you’re a heel … I think you’re an a–hole.”

Cody goes on to suggest that while The Rock made fun of him for crying, wasn’t The People’s Champ the one actually crying behind the scene? Accusing the people around him of being yes-men, Cody says that he’s lots of wonderful thing — but also a whiny bitch.

Saying it was fair game for The Rock to mention his mom, Cody also says he knows Rock’s mom. Rhodes says she’s wonderful, deserving of respect just like his own mom should be since she wouldn’t be scared of The Rock.

Addressing WrestleMania, Cody admits he doesn’t know if Sunday will be Bloodline Rules or if he’ll finish the story. But how can The Rock be so sure of himself? After all, he hasn’t been in the ring for years. Final Boss? Rhodes says maybe he’ll only be “Roman’s side chick.”

That brings out an angry Paul Heyman, who apologizes for his previous apology because it was dumb. Rhodes invites Heyman into the ring, but he says he’s cool on the apron and has a message from Reigns: When Reigns and Rhodes are face to face on SmackDown, no other members of The Bloodline will be present except for Paul.

Cody likes what he hears and says “Deal.” But Heyman says he forgot one crucial point. Namely, that Rhodes has to show up alone to SmackDown too. “Deal.”


Sami Zayn and Gunther make it official for WrestleMania, but does Sami believe in himself?

Adam Pearce is in the ring with the usual contract signing setup, summoning Zayn first and then Gunther. The Ring General mocks Sami for dressing like any slob from the crowd, to which Zayn takes offense at the feeling that Gunther doesn’t think he can win their match.

Sami angrily signs on the dotted line, but Gunther just wants to make fun of hic challenger a little more, questioning whether he even believes he can win. He smiles as he signs too and prepares to leave. But Zayn tells him to wait and tells Gunther to look into his eyes before storming off.


Is Drew McIntyre more like Seth Rollins than he cares to admit to himself?

McIntyre can’t be pleased that he’s immediately interrupted by the arrival of Rollins before he even makes it down the ramp. Mind games are fair play on the Road to WrestleMania, though.

They both end up in the ring, where Seth claims he has something to get off his chest. He admits he’s a spotlight junkie in the manner of people introducing themselves at AA meetings. “Spotlight junkie” chants break out in response.

An exasperated McIntyre says Rollins has become a parody of himself, but the only punchline is going to be when Drew beats him for the title at WrestleMania. McIntyre also mocks the “CM Punk” chant, at which point Rollins interjects and says none of this is a joke to him.

The World Heavyweight Champion says he’s been doing this for a while and it gets better every time. He wants the spotlight as bright as it can possibly be, which surprisingly gets McIntyre’s approval … except for the finish.

“You had me until you mentioned the big spotlight,” Drew says, yelling that it should only be the work they’ve done that matters. Rollins’ priorities are all screwed up, he insists, and that means McIntyre won’t get the moment he deserves — he’ll get the moment he earned.

Seth retorts that Drew is a spotlight junkie just as much as he is, motivated by the fact that his previous title run was in front of no fans. The problem is that when the lights got bright again, McIntyre fumbled the ball. At WrestleMania 40, Seth suggests, Drew will discover he’s not as good as he thinks he is.


Becky Lynch takes to the air to defeat Nia Jax in a Last Woman Standing Match

Lynch looks like she wants to try to end it early, taking it to Jax in and out of the ring. Pat McAfee says he thought the strategy would be opposite, and perhaps he has a point as Jax starts taking over on the outside. They slug it out as the match goes to its first commercial break.

Michael Cole reminds us the only way to win is to keep your opponent down for a count of 10. Jax is busy getting out a table and a ton of chairs, but Lynch is recovering and uses a chair on Nia as she climbs back in the ring.

Jax hits a Samoan Drop back onto a pile of chairs, and McAfee thinks that’s it. Narrator: It was not it.

The crowd wants tables but Lynch is busy applying a sleeper, then pivoting into a bulldog onto a chair. The ref counts to about six, then Lynch tries coming off the top rope and takes a chair to the gut.

Jax is feeling good as Lynch struggles to get back up, eating more chair shots when she does. Jax sits right on top of her on a chair, but a kendo stick is within reach for The Man, and she goes to town with that, sending Jax to the floor.

Nia recovers quickly and picks up the steps to use as a weapon. But she misses when trying a legdrop on the apron, then gets dropped on the steps. The ref gets to six, so Lynch smashes her face into the steps again. The fans roar their approval as Becky gets out a table right as more ads arrive.

There’s now a ladder set up when the broadcast returns, but Lynch is able to blind Jax with a blast from a fire extinguisher. Somehow she’s still able to stagger back into the ring and hit Lynch with a Samoan Drop that drives The Man through a table.

Jax hits an Annihilator too, and the ref starts to count. Lynch rolls out of the ring at eight, landing on her feet to break the count. Jax eyes the table on the floor, but Lynch wriggles free of a Samoan Drop and hits a Manhandle Slam through the table instead.

The ref counts but both women make it up; Jax just barely. Seeing she needs to do something spectacular to win it, Lynch scales the ladder and drives Jax through the announce table with a legdrop. The ref counts, and this time not even Jax is getting up.

WWE Raw preview 03/18/24: Will Becky Lynch or Nia Jax be Last Woman Standing?

Another big part of WWE Raw from Raleigh will be three qualifying matches for the Six-Pack Ladder Match at WrestleMania.

There’s nothing wrong with settling some longstanding business before WrestleMania, which is exactly what we might see tonight on WWE Raw from Raleigh.

Surely, this is it for Becky Lynch and Nia Jax … right?

Though Becky Lynch has framed her quest to dethrone Rhea Ripley as an attempt to prove something to herself, that’s really true of her ongoing issue with Nia Jax as well. Jax just can’t leave her alone, it’s true, but The Man also has a self-confidence hurdle she needs to clear after Jax beat her clean a few months ago.

We’d say a Last Woman Standing match is a good way to put this kind of thing behind you. The question is whether Lynch will actually be able to do that, and if perhaps WWE might still have Liv Morgan sniffing around the edges of this bout. It should be fun regardless.

Gunther and Sami Zayn make it official for Philly

Sami Zayn wasn’t the man we necessarily thought would be the challenger for Gunther and his Intercontinental Championship, but it works. Even if the “I’ve got to find a way to WrestleMania” bit has become a well-worn trope over the past few years, it certainly suits Sami.

Gunther has been properly built to be a monster during this reign, but he’s really improved on the mic along the way. Expect to see that come to the forefront during their contract signing tonight on Raw.

Who will make it into the tag team title ladder match at WrestleMania?

We’ll see not one, not two but three qualifying matches for the Six-Pack Ladder Match at WrestleMania 40:

  • #DIY vs. The Creed Brothers
  • The Awesome Truth vs. Indus Sher
  • Alpha Academy vs. The New Day

If we have to choose a la Hamilton picking between Burr and Jefferson, we’d go with #DIY, The Awesome Truth and The New Day. The Creeds seem like the most likely to crash the party. But the actual six-team match should be wild at Mania.


We’ll be bringing the heat tonight, and by that we mean live WWE Raw results and updates. Join us back here at 8 p.m. ET on Wrestling Junkie for the latest.

WWE Raw results 03/11/24: Sami runs the Gauntlet, earns WrestleMania spot

Chad Gable came agonizingly close to earning another shot at Gunther, but fell just short on WWE Raw.

Just because WrestleMania is less than four weeks away doesn’t mean that WWE weekly TV grinds to a halt. On the contrary, now that the biggest matches for Philadelphia are finalized, there’s a lot of work to fill in the rest of the card, and some of it will be done tonight on WWE Raw from Houston.

In one of the show’s featured bouts, the women’s tag team titles will be on the line. The Kabuki Warriors have them now, but Shayna Baszler and Zoey Stark have more than earned a shot at them. Would WWE consider a title change here, or might this be a feud that goes all the way to the Showcase of the Immortals?

Another big order of business is finding Gunther a WrestleMania challenger for his Intercontinental Championship. Many have tried and failed, but the fact that there are six men in the Gauntlet match tonight vying for a shot means he hasn’t quite cleaned out the division.

It’s a mix of former champs, up and comers and Chad Gable, who has made his quest to get a rematch with Gunther a personal one. Can the Alpha Academy leader climb a very tall mountain and get his WrestleMania moment?

Plus, since you know WWE isn’t going to let even one show go right now without keeping its top storylines on at least a low simmer, Michael Cole will have an interview with Cody Rhodes. Maybe he can talk about how oddsmakers think he and Seth Rollins will lose the tag team match on Night 1 of WrestleMania, making his rematch with Roman Reigns that much harder on Night 2.

We’ll have to wait and see. But not long because we’re off and running from the Toyota Center.

WWE Raw results from Houston:

(please scroll down for more details on any match or segment in bold)

  • Several wrestlers and Travis Scott are shown on their way into the arena before the show
  • Drew McIntyre chides Seth Rollins for not listening to his own advice, but the Visionary claims Drew is the least of his problems
  • A video package shows Chad Gable talking about his chance to rewrite history if he can make it through the Gauntlet
  • Becky Lynch def. Liv Morgan by pinfall
  • Right after the match, Rhea Ripley walks by Morgan and gets in the ring with Lynch; Mami accuses Lynch of knowing that Rhea is better than her, taking on a number of pre-WrestleMania matches to use as an excuse when she loses in Philly, but The Man says she’s even better when everyone doubts her so doesn’t mind if the world is against her
  • Adam Pearce and Nick Aldis make their announcement: At WrestleMania, The Judgment Day will defend their tag team titles against 5 other teams in a Six-Pack Ladder match; teams will be able to win their way in over the next few weeks
  • The Judgment Day reacts angrily to the above news and vows to find Pearce to … complain, we guess
  • Candice LeRae and Indi Hartwell def. Ivy Nile and Maxxine Dupri by pinfall, in large part because LeRae decides to say some very hurtful, personal things to Dupri to throw her off her game
  • Finn Balor leads The Judgment Day into the GMs’ office and lodges a complaint, and Damian Priest demands to know whose idea it was; they’re really upset when it turns out that it came from The Miz and R-Truth, and Truth is there even though he is supposed to be doing media with Miz, so Priest asks Pearce to make a match between them
  • Michael Cole talks to Cody Rhodes, who explains that it’s not his story alone he needs to finish
  • We hear from Ricochet and JD McDonagh, also entrants in the Gauntlet match later tonight

  • Kabuki Warriors def. Shayna Baszler and Zoey Stark by pinfall to retain the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship; 
  • Andrade stops by to see Dominik Mysterio, but since he’s not here, Ripley tells him they can talk business next week, and he seems amenable to that
  • Shinsuke Nakamura and Bronson Reed get their say before the Gauntlet match
  • Damian Priest def. R-Truth by pinfall, though the match also pulls in #DIY and Priest’s teammates; after the match, The Judgment Day beats up on #DIY
  • Logan Paul has a major announcement to make on ImPAULsive tomorrow
  • Meanwhile, Lynch says it’ll be her vs. Jax, Last Woman Standing next week
  • Jey Uso says he wants to holler at his brother Jimmy Uso, proposing they fight at WrestleMania and promising to “knock the yeet out your ass!”
  • After a tribute plays to celebrate his record-breaking title reign, Gunther tells Jackie Redmond that the idea of people thinking he’s become overconfident is silly, and that while he finds it flattering that six men are going to all this effort to challenge him, he clearly thinks whoever it is will be fighting an uphill battle against him
  • Gauntlet match for Intercontinental Championship title shot at WrestleMania

Seth Rollins says he’s not sweating Drew McIntyre

The Scottish Warrior wastes no time starting right in on Seth Rollins, accusing him of not being able to leave well enough alone and agreeing to compete on both nights of WrestleMania. McIntyre adds that he also has been thinking about the bigger picture, scoffing when the crowd starts a “CM Punk” chant.

No, McIntyre says the bigger picture involves The Rock, and that pro wrestling should be working with someone who is one of the most powerful people in entertainment. Drew thinks when he’s champion, WWE will actually have a champion the company can invest in and be proud of, but that brings Seth Rollins out to join him.

Rollins gives McIntyre the chance to get a shot in, mockingly turning his back since he says Drew is a coward. The Scottish Warrior insists he just wants Seth to listen, and that he was right: Rollins was the one who told him he needed to get over The Bloodline, because for a champion, that’s all you should care about.

McIntyre says he pleaded for Rollins to heed his own advice but he would not. Seth replies that Drew is starting to remind him of CM Punk, because he used to think Punk was the biggest hypocrite in the world and now he’s not sure. Wasn’t it Drew that had such an issue with The Bloodline? Because recently it seems like he’s been getting plenty of help from that group.

Rollins vows that he and Cody Rhodes will take down The Bloodline on Night 1 at WrestleMania, and on Night 2, the same thing will happen that always happens when they face off: Seth will stomp his head into the mat, pin him and the people will sing his song.

Before he walks out, McIntyre claims there’s nothing Rollins can do to provoke him. Before he can get up the ramp, though, Seth says that of all the things he has to worry about for WrestleMania, Drew is at the very bottom of the list. McIntyre is obviously angry and makes it back as far as the ropes, but he eventually turns and stomps off.


Becky Lynch gets a legitimate battle from Liv Morgan but prevails in the end

It’s kind of fun that these two fan favorites have legit beef with each other without either one turning. That should be possible with good writing.

Morgan proves to be every bit as savvy as Lynch early on, even hitting a suicide dive right before a commercial break.

Lynch is fighting back big time after the ads, hitting several suplexes and a baseball slide kick to the floor. Becky comes off the apron and nails Liv as well, but her attempt to come off the middle rope back in the bring is answered by a Codebreaker that leaves both women down.

A series of kicks by Lynch is answered by a springboard Codebreaker, forcing The Man to kick out at two. They battle to the apron, where Morgan is able to prevail and hit a sunset flip powerbomb to the floor. She returns to the ring and covers, but Becky once again kicks out at two.

Lynch hits a Manhandle Slam amidst some back and forth, but Morgan rolls to the floor to prevent a cover as more commercials slide in.

Turnabout, as they say, is fair play, and Lynch shows it by rolling outside after Morgan connects with Oblivion. Liv tries to come off the second rope but is caught with another Manhandle Slam, and this time it’s enough to seal the deal.


Michael Cole gets Cody Rhodes to call it the ninth inning

Before he summons the American Nightmare, Cole introduces a full replay of the segment featuring Rhodes, Rollins, Roman Reigns and The Rock on last Friday’s SmackDown. You may remember that ended with Cody slapping The Rock, though the show quickly ended after hand hit face.

Cole cuts to the chase by asking why he slapped The Rock after he trumpeted the fact that he’s Rhodes’ boss. Rhodes isn’t so sure that’s really true but says if it is, it feels good to slap your boss. He says The Rock was a wrestler before he was all the other things he is today, and a great one at that.

Things take a turn as Cole points out that maybe Rollins wants to be the one to beat Reigns. How can Cody trust Seth? People change, Cody says, before rolling a clip from last October and another conversation with Cole.

It was about finishing his story, of course, and Rhodes admits he’s scared because he can’t say “I’ll get him next year” again. However, Cody says the story is not about him but all the fans who have been along on the ride with him, as well as his family.

Rebuking Paul Heyman’s famous quote about what inning The Bloodline story is in, Rhodes suggests we’re in the last inning, ending by telling Cole he’ll have the chance to make this call: “Cody Rhodes has finished his story.”


Dakota Kai tips the scales as Kabuki Warriors barely retain their gold

Asuka and Stark are first to enter the fray, with Zoey getting a quick two count on a dropkick. Baszler tags in and absorbs some kicks before grabbing Asuka’s ankle, but Kairi Sane is in not long after to spell her teammate.

The challengers subject Sane to some double team offense, and Zoey goes flying to the floor as well before a commercial break.

The announcers keep putting over Zoey’s athleticism, and rightly so, as she keeps taking it to Sane. Kairi headbutts Zoey into the Tree of Woe and hits a double stomp off the top buckle. Stark barely manages to beat the three count.

Both wrestlers make tags, leaving Asuka and Baszler to slug it out. Sane tags back in and hits a blockbuster, and the champs are rolling now. A sliding knee from Asuka hammers Baszler, but Stark hustles to break up the pin.

A Baszler kick levels Asuka, but the Empress counters the Z-360 with a German suplex. A second Z-360 finds the target, and a Baszler knee looks like it might be the match-winner until Asuka makes the save.

Baszler gets the Kirifuda Clutch on Sane, but Dakota Kai pulls Shayna’s leg under the bottom rope to break the hold. The champs take full advantage, double teaming Baszler until she’s finished off by an Insane Elbow.


Gauntlet match for Intercontinental Championship title shot at WrestleMania

Ricochet and JD McDonagh kick us off, showing us off some fun mat work and evasive maneuvers. JD hits double knees as a counter to a springboard cross body, which gets him the edge as they spill outside the ring.

McDonagh is still in charge back inside the ring, with Pat McAfee advancing the idea that Ricochet gets all the way back to the title he once held if he can come through the Gauntlet. The announcers also feel this first matchup is taking too long to benefit whoever wins it.

JD has another counter ready for Ricochet and follows with a brainbuster for a near fall. A number of shots crash home in both directions until Ricochet is nearly pinned again. To commercials we go.

Ricochet hits his inevitable rally and scores his own near fall. McDonagh rakes his eyes and sends him into the post, covering for another two.

JD keeps focusing on Ricochet’s midsection, attacking the ribs. They head up top together, but Ricochet shoves his foe down and delivers a Shooting Star Press to advance. JD McDonagh is eliminated.

Bronson Reed gets greeted by a twisting plancha from Ricochet, but he responds quickly with a running powerslam in the ring for a near fall. A step-up enzuigiri staggers Reed, who recovers to shove his opponent down and hit a senton.

Reed hits the Tsunami, and that’s it for the Highlight of the Night. Ricochet is eliminated.

Sami Zayn is the next man up, though he barely gets going before we step away for ads again.

The announcers note again that Zayn needs to win this as he has put all his eggs in this basket for WrestleMania. He’s in trouble on Reed’s shoulders on the turnbuckles, but he pivots into a sunset flip powerbomb and holds on for three. Bronson Reed is eliminated.

No one gave Reed the memo, though, as he delivers a cheap shot to Zayn, then a Tsunami as Shinsuke Nakamura is slow to enter the fray. Shinsuke lines up a Kinshasa but misses, and Zayn nearly rolls him up for the pinfall.

Nakamura throws Zayn over the announce table as we step away for what’s likely the last set of commercials tonight.

Zayn sees a Kinshasa coming again, but Shinsuke nails him with a scissor kick. A Helluva Kick comes right back as an answer, and Nakamura is down for the three. Shinsuke Nakamura is eliminated.

Gable shows some sportsmanship, seeing Zayn is beaten down and telling him he wants Sami back up before they lock up. Gable gets in the first offense when they finally do battle, hitting two German suplexes and looking for the ankle lock both in and out of the ring.

Sami drives Chad’s back into the steel steps, and whoops, we were wrong, one more ad break.

We return right into a superplex by Gable that earns him a near fall. He wants a moonsault next, but Zayn meets him there, and even after getting knocked to the canvas, gets his knees up to fend off the moonsault and covers for a two count.

Zayn ends up in the grips of the ankle lock, and even though he reaches the ropes for a break, there is definitely some damage done. Sami manages to hit an exploder suplex into the buckles, but gable sees a Helluva Kick coming and applies the ankle lock again.

Sami is straining hard but gets pulled back into the middle of the ring. This time Zayn rolls onto his back, but a tenacious Gable simply won’t let go. Sami gets onto one foot but is German suplexed for his efforts. A moonsault is on the way, but Zayn rolls out of the way.

A Helluva Kick is on target, but Zayn only gets two, as does Gable when he flips the pinning predicament over.

Both men are slow to recover from that last exchange, and we’re running short on time in the show. Gable manages to get the drop, hitting Chaos Theory for another two, then transitioning back to the ankle lock. Somehow, Zayn reverses the hold into a pinfall attempt, and this time he hangs on for the three.

Gable’s disappointment is evident as he can’t believe he didn’t get the victory, but Zayn is on his way to WrestleMania. Gable picks up Zayn, who won’t let him walk away without hugging him.

A smiling Gunther comes out onto the stage just as Raw fades out for the night.

CM Punk returning to WWE Raw as he recovers from torn triceps injury

Though it’s not known exactly what he’ll do, CM Punk will be on WWE Raw ahead of WrestleMania 40.

(This story was originally published on USATODAY.com)

CM Punk is coming back to “Raw.”

WWE announced on Monday CM Punk will return to the weekly show on March 25, when “Raw” will take place in his hometown of Chicago at the Allstate Arena on March 25.

Punk’s appearance will be the first time he will appear on the show since he revealed he suffered a torn triceps at Royal Rumble, sidelining him for several months and taking him out of the WrestleMania 40 picture. The injury was his first televised match since he made his shocking return to WWE at Survivor Series: WarGames in November, which also took place at Allstate Arena.

WWE did not reveal what Punk will be doing when he appears on “Raw” later this month.

“Questions remain around what the self-proclaimed ‘Best In the World’ will have to say when he addresses the WWE Universe in-person on Monday, March 25,” WWE said.

As part of the highly-anticipated return, WWE said it will open new seating areas to meet the demand of the sold-out show. The episode of “Raw” will come less than two weeks before WrestleMania 40 in Philadelphia.

WWE Raw preview 03/11/24: Who will run the Gauntlet to face Gunther at WrestleMania?

The women’s tag titles are also on the line in Houston, plus Becky Lynch will take on Liv Morgan tonight on WWE Raw.

The biggest title matches for WrestleMania 40 are set, as is a big tag team match for Night 1. But we’ve got two nights of action to fill out in Philly, so we can hardly stop there. WWE Raw rolls into Houston tonight and isn’t leaving until at least one more match is set.

Who will emerge from the Gauntlet as Gunther’s WrestleMania opponent?

The Ring General has backed up all his talk as Intercontinental Champion, ensuring his name will be in the history books. Gunther has also claimed he has no one left to face, but a Gauntlet match on Raw will prove him wrong.

The question is whether it will be someone he’s clashed with before, like Ricochet or Chad Gable, or a wrestler who’s never battled him for this particular title, such as Sami Zayn or JD McDonagh.

A case could be made for any of the six men who will enter the Gauntlet, and while we think it will be Gable leaving with his WrestleMania plans set, the uncertainty should make for some extra excitement.

Can Shayna and Zoey dethrone the Kabuki Warriors?

The Kabuki Warriors have looked awfully comfortable wearing tag team gold again. Shayna Baszler and Zoey Stark have earned their shot to usurp them. Something has to give in H-Town.

Or does it? This is one feud we could see stretching out to WrestleMania, but that would likely require something other than a clean finish tonight. We’ll be anxious to see if we’re off base on that.

Can Becky Lynch and Liv Morgan settle things without Nia Jax getting involved?

Wrestling doesn’t always have to be the classic face vs. heel to be compelling. Becky Lynch and Liv Morgan are both fan favorites at the moment, but both have been up in each other’s business enough that they want to fight about it.

Ah, but will Nia Jax actually let them do it without throwing her considerable muscle into the mix? Lynch has a formidable WrestleMania mountain to climb in Rhea Ripley, so it would behoove The Man to put all this drama behind her as soon as possible. Can she do it tonight?


We’re limbering up our fingers to recap the action from Houston live tonight at 8 p.m. ET. Join us back here at Wrestling Junkie at that time for WWE Raw results and other goodness.
