What major events unfolded at WWE this week?

Sam Roberts 0:02
We have a new women's world champion. Seth Rollins is going to be on the show, even though he and CM Punk just brawled through an entire building. Jey Uso may have had a beast awakened within him. And Megan John Cena is still a bad guy. This is the Raw Recap brought to you by WWE and Fanatics. I can't believe it. Megan, here we are. The Raw Recap. WWE and Fanatics has partnered on a series of podcasts, and we're the first one to drop. And what better time to drop a podcast than after the Monday Night Raw? I mean, we just came from an elimination chamber.
Megan Morant 0:44
That changed the entire landscape of WWE.
Sam Roberts 0:47
Coming off of a Royal Rumble with one of the most unexpected results ever. And then tonight, we're literally going through our little notepads. Maybe we'll talk about this. Maybe we'll talk about that. Maybe we'll start with this. Maybe we'll start with that. And then we look up and EO Sky is the new Women's World Champion, Megan. Did people, including me... Not give Io enough credit.
Megan Morant 1:10
I did not. Hand up. Hand up. I did not. Because, in fact, before this match even began, I said to you during the entrances, what's Io going to do at WrestleMania? And you said, I don't know. We should probably wait for this match. I'm like, Rhea's not losing.
Sam Roberts 1:25
Right. And I said this. Of course. Of course she's not losing.
Megan Morant 1:29
Yeah, so then what's Io going to do?
Sam Roberts 1:31
I don't know. We'll see what the outcome. And then, boom, we see this. The fireworks are going off. And new WWE Women's World Champion. Those Rhea Ripley side plates don't come off that championship very often.
Megan Morant 1:44
I mean, Rhea Ripley has not lost a one-on-one matchup to someone not named Liv Morgan since 2021.
Sam Roberts 1:55
When did you become Meggy Stats?
Megan Morant 1:57
You know, I read all the emails. Do you know who it was to?
Sam Roberts 1:59
It wasn't Liv Morgan. Becky Lynch?
Megan Morant 2:05
Queen Zelina.
Sam Roberts 2:07
First of all, maybe it's time to put a little more respect on Queen Zelina's name just for that alone. But so you're saying in 2021, so like four years...
Megan Morant 2:17
She's lost to Liv Morgan.
Sam Roberts 2:18
Well, of course, who hasn't?
Megan Morant 2:19
But someone not named Liv Morgan.
Sam Roberts 2:20
Who hasn't lost to Liv Morgan? But Rhea comes back. She gets that Women's World Championship. And every conversation about WrestleMania has been, well, who's Rhea going to face? Charlotte wins the Royal Rumble. Oh, maybe it'll be Charlotte and Rhea. Oh, I guess it's going to be Bianca and Rhea. Let's be honest. The graphic comes out after Bianca Belair wins the Elimination Chamber, and we go, oh, you know, I guess it could be Bianca and Rhea. No, it says Rhea or Io, but people go, oh, that's cute.
Megan Morant 2:48
Yeah, I mean, even after Bianca wins, you have the moment where Rhea walks out and stands behind Bianca.
Unnamed Guest 2:54
Yeah.
Megan Morant 2:54
And you're like, oh, that's our WrestleMania match. And then, wait, what's Io doing? Oh, yeah, that's right. Io has the match on Monday Night Raw. Never did I ever think that Io would be walking out as the Women's World Champion.
Sam Roberts 3:05
And shame on us. Io wins a lot. Io is really, really good at pro wrestling. And she's won multiple different championships. The idea that Io Skye could go into any match and we'd be sitting there with it being a foregone conclusion that she's going to lose is really... That's us taking our eye off the ball. Because we're so smart. Because we can fantasy book WrestleMania. Because we already know what... No. No. Rhea just lost the championship in the main event of Monday Night Raw.
Megan Morant 3:36
It was so shocking. Because Rhea Ripley is so dominant. Yeah. She's like the tush push. You know it's coming, right? Like everybody knows, oh my God, they're on the one yard line. The tush push is coming. But no matter what you do, you cannot stop it. That's Rhea Ripley. EO Sky had the answer.
Sam Roberts 3:52
But everybody outside of Philadelphia doesn't hate Rhea Ripley like they do the tush push. However... Rhea Ripley, so two things. What's really interesting about Rhea Ripley is she almost foretold this. She was on Twitter earlier today talking about this match and going, the history between me and EO is so much deeper than people even give it credit. It was Rhea Ripley.
