The Monday Night RAW after WrestleMania is usually the biggest show of the year for the weekly program. New feuds, debuts, and surprises dominate the three-hour broadcast.
This year’s edition was no different. But there were a few details you probably missed among the returns and surprises. Luckily, our sleuth detectives found a few hidden parts of the show that you should know about.
Who Is Ezekiel!?
A new wrestler debuted last night named Ezekiel. He certainly looks like a particular former WWE Superstar.
We can confirm Ezekiel and Elias is NOT the same person. Ezekial is clean-shaven and wears trunks. Elias has long hair and a beard and wrestles in jeans. Different!

Veer’s Face Paint

After a comically long teasing, Veer Mahaan finally debuted on Monday Night Raw. The Indian giant pummelled the Mysterios and looked to be RAW’s latest hulking menace. But if you’re like me, you were wondering about the significance of his face paint. It appears to be a Tripundra. A Tripundra is a symbol significant within the Shiva tradition of Hinduism. The three lines represent the power of will (icchāśakti), knowledge (jñānaśakti), and action (kriyāśakti). It is meant to symbolize the spiritual aims of everyday life, with the red ash dot suggesting the fleetingness of life and that we all return to ash one day.
Is Rhea Ripley Joining Edge’s Faction?
Tensions flared between Rhea Ripley and Liv Morgan after their failed attempt at acquiring the tag titles. Rhea shoved away Liv before storming out of the ring. The two reunited backstage, but something caught my eye. If you look in the background, you can see faint purple lighting. The same purple lighting Edge is using in his new mysterious stable with Damien Priest.
What’s Next For Cody Rhodes?
Cody Rhodes cut a heartfelt promo about wanting to win the title his father never could in WWE. The segment ended with WrestleMania opponent Seth Rollins coming to congratulate and greet the returning Rhodes. While it is unclear what is next for Rhodes, It is clear his eyes are set on the WWE title. Does that mean he is going after Roman Reigns? With Lashley continuing his feud with Omos, it certainly seems to me that Rhodes may be next in line for a title shot.
