What major surprises happened on the Raw after WrestleMania 41?

Sam Roberts 0:01
Doors just opened at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada. It is the Raw after WrestleMania. I have no idea what's going to happen, but I know we will break down it all. This is the WWE Raw Recap brought to you by Fanatics. Those last words that you heard were recorded about three hours ago, and the entire world around us has completely changed. Megan Morant with us as always, and we are blessed to have in our presence Big E. Of all times to add the extra analysis on a Raw that requires more analysis than, I would say Megan, any Raw that's been on since we've started Raw Recap.
Megan Morant 0:51
That's a very accurate statement. I mean, we say oftentimes in WWE the entire landscape has shifted, but we really mean it this time. Everything has changed in just about three hours since you recorded that initial cold open.
Sam Roberts 1:07
Yeah, yeah, I did not. Of all the possibilities, and remember, coming off of WrestleMania night one, all I was sitting here was screaming, why? Why? Why would Paul Heyman do this? I, in every sort of crevice of my brain, did not foresee The formation of a modern-day dangerous alliance. The formation of Paul Heyman. Because Paul Heyman has said in so many interviews, I would never work with anybody except Roman Reigns. If I wasn't working with the tribal chief, I'd be gone. And all of a sudden, not only has he gone over to Seth Rollins, he's gone to the youth. We get a Monday Night Raw where Roman Reigns is not advertised but appears, which is exceptionally rare. He shows up. And even more rare, he gets laid out.
Megan Morant 1:56
He showed up after a loss, which Roman Reigns, after losses recently, what has happened? We don't see him.
Big E 2:03
Yeah, he goes away for a bit. Yeah. But man, I have been such, honestly, the first time I met Braun Breaker, talked to him, saw him in the ring. This kid is it. And I am excited. I kind of leapt out of my chair when I saw the reveal of the hoodie, because I think this is gonna be so incredible for his career. He already is clearly a star, but I think Paul is going to help take him to that next level of being a main eventer. He's already held the Intercontinental Championship. Now I think he can very quickly be in a position where he's challenging for world championships. And I'm excited for him. He's so young. He's so hungry. The kid has got it, man.
Sam Roberts 2:44
He's got it. Well, also, all of a sudden you see, like you said, the word landscape, Megan. You see this completely new vision of what Raw and what WWE looks like, where you've got these two superheroes now in CM Punk and Roman Reigns. When it comes to good guys, the biggest of the good guys versus what has become and didn't exist until tonight. these two super villains in Seth Rollins and Braun Breaker with Paul Heyman. There is the part of me that is the more logical, clear thinking Sam, like maybe after a night's sleep, maybe something where I can look at it and go, Man, that triple threat main event from WrestleMania night one was a pure work of wrestling art. And it continues on to something that is even more another work of art in the closing segment of Monday Night Raw, but the fan. the fan in me that you have to allow to come out, and Megan, you saw it. I was jumping all over the floor. I was out there on the floor watching this thing go down.
Megan Morant 3:49
Acknowledging, I mean, ooh, ah.
Sam Roberts 3:52
How do you whine?
Megan Morant 3:53
I thought Sam was going to spear somebody. I mean, he was fired up. Because you go, right?
Sam Roberts 3:59
And you go, well, Seth Rollins can't take this kind of heat. Even he can take out CM Punk, but he can't now take out Roman Reigns as well. And both of them, both of them were there to put hands on Paul Heyman. Paul Heyman took a Superman punch tonight. Rightfully so, though.
Big E 4:14
Rightfully so. Rightfully so. I just love, the door is open to, like now I'm thinking, do we see, of course we saw the Bloodline War Games match where we had CM Punk on the side. But now do we see kind of this forced tandem of Roman and Punk having to work together? Such a clash of personalities. Do we get to see a tag team for a little bit of Braun and of Seth?
