Best Match
The main event of the night is the top candidate for best match on WWE RAW this week. Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez went up against Bianca Belair and Naomi with their WWE Women’s Tag Team Championships on the line. Th match was a compelling and captivating tag team showdown that had the fans on their feet for the majority of the match.
As the bout came down to the final moments, Raquel took Bianca out of the equation. Moreover, Dominik Mysterio distracted Naomi for Liv to capitalize. As Naomi went on the top rope, Raquel pushed her face first into the post, and this led to Morgan pinning her to win the tag titles with Rodriguez for the third time.
Worst Match
The worst match of the night had to be Gunther’s squashing Akira Tozawa in a quick match. He did the same to Otis, trapping him in the sleeper hold until Jey Uso ran in to make the save, intensifying their WrestleMania 41 rivalry further.
Noteworthy Moments
One of the biggest noteworthy moments of the night was Seth Rollins‘s heated confrontation with Cody Rhodes. The Visionary expressed his exasperation over Rhodes not turning down The Rock’s offer to sell his soul right there and then on SmackDown and insulting the hard work they did together to take down The Bloodline last year. Rollins and Rhodes argued that tensions were building more as the Elimination Chamber event approached.
Another exciting highlight was the stare-off between Finn Balor and Bron Breakker. This came after Balor and Carlito interrupted Breakker’s match with Dominik Mysterio, which ended in disqualification. Both men grabbed onto a steel chair, staring down at each other intensely. Balor escaped with a smirk on his face.
The last exciting highlight of the night was the triple-threat match between Ludwig Kaiser, Penta, and Pete Dunne. All three men brought different styles to the ring and produced an exciting in-ring action. The ending of the match saw Kaiser pick up the surprise, building momentum on WWE RAW.
Holy Sh!@ Moments
The biggest Holy Sh!@ moment on WWE RAW came during the opening segment of the show. There was a huge verbal exchange between Logan Paul and CM Punk as they both are set to compete in the 2025 Men’s Elimination Chamber match for a World title match against Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania 41.

At the end of the segment, both men exchange verbal insults. As they stared each other off, Logan Paul took a cheap shot and slapped Punk right across the face before escaping. But Punk said that he should run while he can because, at the Elimination Chamber PLE, he will be locked inside the cage with him.
Lowlights
Lyra Valkyria successfully defending her WWE Women’s Intercontinental Championship in a less stellar match against Dakota Kai was a lowlight. Moreover, the entire focus shifted on Ivy Nile who attacked both women at the end of their match.
Another lowlight was the tag team match between The New Day and LWO’s Cruz Del Toro and Joaquin Wilde. The New Day’s segment before the match drew major boos. But their match against the LWO members did not get the same reactions, with the match considered a normal bout of the night with major spots.
What’s in store for RAW next week?
The fallout edition of Monday Night RAW for Elimination Chamber PLE will see Rhea Ripley defending her WWE Women’s World Championship against IYO Sky. The duo met in a confrontation during an interview with Jackie Redmond on WWE RAW this week, increasing the intrigue for this showdown next week.
Also, The War Raiders will defend their WWE World Tag Team Championships against The Creed Brothers next week. Both sides engaged in a backstage brawl, increasing the tensions as they headed into the title match.
