Best Match
The best match of the night spoke for itself, which was evident from the ‘This is Awesome’ chants in the entire Spectrum Center. It was the main event between Seth Rollins and Finn Balor.

Following the highly exhilerating showdown, Rollins in the end, countered Balor’s cross face attempt and executed a quick Stomp to win the match and become the final entrant in the 2025 Elimination Chamber match.
Worst Match
While Penta is known for his amazing ability inside the ring, this week on WWE RAW was not an impressive showdown between him and Pete Dunne. Despite both bringing their different styles to the ring, the match had no buzz from the entire match card and even had a bad ending with Ludwig Kaiser’s interference.
Noteworthy Moments
A major noteworthy moment came at the start of the show. Sami Zayn insisting on fighting Kevin Owens at the WWE Elimination Chamber. But RAW GM Adam Pearce denied his request because Zayn was not medical. After a long back and forth, Pearce finally agreed to the bout but made it clear that it would not be official; it would be Unsanctioned.
One of the intriguing highlights was Bron Breakker confronting AJ Styles and nearly speared him after he defeated Dominik Mysterio. Styles countered with a Pele Kick to send him retreating, hinting at their possible feud leading up to WrestleMania.
The last noteworthy moment was Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods being showered with boos during an in-ring segment where they berated Rey Mysterio. Following that, they enraged in a brawl with Mysterio and the LWO, building further in this ongoing rivalry for weeks.
Holy Sh!@ Moments
One of the biggest moments was when WWE RAW’s newest star, Roxanne Perez, had her first official match on the main roster. She went up against the more powerful Raquel Rodriguez, and a distraction by Bianca Belair and Naomi led to Perez defeating her to qualify for the Women’s Elimination Chamber match.
Another moment Holy Sh!@ moment of the night was Gunther mocking Jey Uso by entering like him through the audience and also threatening Michael Cole and Pat McAfee. They are often seeing YEETin when Uso enters the arena. Following this, a brawl occurred between Gunther and Jey Uso, which had to be separated by WWE officials.
Lowlights
Dakota Kai’s victory over Ivy Nile was appreciated online, but the fans in attendance were not into the match at all. Moreover, the face-off between Kai and WWE Women’s Intercontinental Champion Lyra Valkyria did not also receive any pop from the North Carolina audience.
Whatโs in store for RAW next week?
