Chapter 1: What major surprises happened on the Raw after WrestleMania 41?

1.618 - 33.17 Sam Roberts

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.

33.551 - 51.769 Sam Roberts

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.

0

51.789 - 67.041 Megan Morant

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.

0

67.081 - 89.419 Sam Roberts

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.

0

89.439 - 113.157 Sam Roberts

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.

114.076 - 116.717 Sam Roberts

And even more rare, he gets laid out.

116.757 - 123.08 Megan Morant

He showed up after a loss, which Roman Reigns, after losses recently, what has happened? We don't see him.

123.16 - 142.755 Big E

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.

143.456 - 164.041 Big E

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.

Chapter 2: Why did Paul Heyman switch allegiance from Roman Reigns to Seth Rollins and Braun Breaker?

544.91 - 547.592 Sam Roberts

I was not crying, okay? I had feelings. It's okay to cry.

0

547.652 - 548.433 Big E

It is okay to cry.

0

548.453 - 548.733 Sam Roberts

Thank you.

0

548.773 - 550.595 Big E

Men can cry. I didn't. It's okay. I didn't.

0

550.615 - 551.636 Sam Roberts

I see you welling up a little bit.

551.656 - 553.197 Big E

Your eyes are a little glassy right now.

553.258 - 567.332 Sam Roberts

No, no, no. That's okay. I'm not. I'm just thinking about my tribal chief again. That's the only thing that's going on. And look, you're still, both of you, are still sitting here saying Seth Rollins is underrated. That's something maybe, maybe you could have said before WrestleMania.

567.612 - 586.806 Sam Roberts

But he literally just showed up on Raw and the declaration was made that he is the greatest star in all of our industry. That's the highest rating you could possibly get. He is no longer underrated. I won't hear it anymore. If anybody's underrated, it's our tribal chief, Roman Reigns, with people going, can he do it alone? Now, here's what's interesting, okay?

587.086 - 587.366 Big E

What's up?

Chapter 3: How is Roman Reigns' character evolving post-Bloodline era?

4691.508 - 4694.931 Megan Morant

I love the Latino cheat T-shirt that he had on.

0

4695.431 - 4717.083 Sam Roberts

As long as you win. As long as you win. But look, he keeps winning. He's successful. I don't understand how you can be critical of this strategy. Also, they call him dirty, but he told me he washes and conditions his hair every single day. That's how it gets so luscious. You know what he did? What's that? On Thursday, I did a live Nazi wrestling podcast here in Vegas. And he was my guest.

4717.223 - 4733.067 Sam Roberts

He was my guest. Well, I requested them. He was my guest. And he showed up on stage. You know, you pro wrestlers, you hydrate with waters. You have very clean diets because, you know, your physiques are on display. And he showed up on stage drinking a Capri Sun.

0

4733.82 - 4735.222 Megan Morant

Capri. A child.

0

4735.282 - 4741.288 Sam Roberts

I thought it was Capri. Capri. I think that's from growing up in the UK. Oh, that's what it is. Okay, okay.

4741.909 - 4743.391 Megan Morant

You really call it Capri?

4743.591 - 4746.414 Sam Roberts

Well, I don't call it anything anymore. I'm a man of a certain age.

4746.454 - 4752.181 Big E

I'm not drinking juice boxes. Yeah, I stopped drinking them around 10, I think. Now I'm 10 years old.

4752.241 - 4753.322 Sam Roberts

It was hanging out of his mouth.
