What happened between Roman Reigns and CM Punk on the road to WrestleMania?
Roman Reigns and CM Punk get physical on the road to WrestleMania. Paul Heyman has what has to be one of the worst nights in his professional life. I think we know where we're going with the Women's Intercontinental Championship for WrestleMania and so much more. This is the Raw Recap on WWE Now, a WWE and Fanatics original production.
Oh, you know it's WrestleMania season, not just because that sign is above our head, Megan.
Look at that sign.
But because we meet on another Monday night trying to figure out where to begin with so much going on in the world of the WWE on this road to WrestleMania. But like we do so often, I vote that we start where we end it.
Why was Paul Heyman's night considered one of the worst in his career?
With Roman Reigns and CM Punk.
As soon as he hit that spear, it was like music to your ears, music to all of our ears. But you stood up and expressed an emotion I haven't seen you express towards Roman Reigns in a long time.
I felt it immediately.
You know, I mean, I am... You sprung out of your chair.
What are the implications for the Women's Intercontinental Championship at WrestleMania?
I cannot tell you how I felt. When Jay started yelling, because Jay is the, Crash Out Jay is the hero of all of this. The hero that I didn't know that we needed. When Crash Out Jay is yelling to Roman Reigns, because Jimmy has been, well, he's been trying to play both sides of the fence, quite frankly.
He's really been the voice of reason for Jay.
The voice of reason for everybody, but it's like, bro, listen. I'm going to tell you how the Roberts do business, okay? When you start talking about other Roberts members- And then you start telling me how to handle people that talk about other Roberts members. It's not going to work out. When you have LA Knight going, hey, you know, I don't know, Jay, you shouldn't be talking like Roman. Hey, first of all, don't tell me how to act ever. And second of all, get my cousin's name out your mouth. I'm Crash Out Jey Uso right now, okay? This is where I'm feeling. And Jimmy has been trying to somehow maintain these friendships and relationships that they have. All the while, the family is being threatened. Because here's what happened.
And here is why. You're right. I didn't know if you noticed that or not. But you're right. I had an out-of-body experience. We were sitting in the other room.
The second the spear connected... I was like, oh, it's... You became a different person.
Because we're back. Because we're back. And we've needed to be back for so long.
How does Roman Reigns' performance impact fan emotions?
Because here's what happened. Somewhere along the way, and I don't know if it was towards the end of Roman Reigns' title run or if it was right after Roman Reigns' title run. I don't know if it was when a new bloodline came out and now we're fighting over Ula Fallas. I don't know if it's when Roman started defending the title less and people started to say, oh, maybe it's time for somebody new. Why... Now, how long can you keep the title on Roman Reigns? I don't know exactly when it happened, but at some point they forgot. At some point, everyone forgot. And you know what happened? This is true. This happens with fans. This has happened with everybody. Not we, they took Roman and what he did with the bloodline for granted.
What we got with the bloodline is the type of storytelling that is, I mean, forget about once in a generation, right? Once in multiple generations. It was one of the most special periods of time that I've ever been a wrestling fan to watch this story play out.
It was.
And this ain't shilling. You could go back years and listen to the way I talked about it when it was really happening. I'm obsessed and you know this.
Yeah, the backstage bloodline segment. They were everything.
Listen.
And it went on for over two years.
It went on for four years, okay? And it should have gone on even longer because instead of coming off the bloodline and going, there's Roman Reigns, anytime he blesses us with his presence, we remember what that guy did. We remember the story that guy and that guy's family told. And anytime the Usos are on the screen, we remember what they did and the story that they told and what they did for the tag team division and the fact that they brought...
