It's time for the greatest spectacle of the year - RAW AFTER WRESTLEMANIA! We're still in Orlando after a very emotional Thrill Ride at Camping World Stadium that saw the seeming end of one of the greatest WWE stars of all time.
Roman Reigns became only the second wrestler to defeat The Undertaker at WrestleMania, winning a gruelling No Holds Barred match in the main event. While the focus is on Taker hanging up his gloves, hat and coat, we wonder what's next for the man who has now pretty much taken his yard...
The other wrestler to defeat The Undertaker at WrestleMania claimed the WWE Universal Championship, as Brock Lesnar finally got the Goldberg bogey off his back, surviving several Spears and a Jackhammer to land 10 (10! 10!) German Suplexes and an F5 to win the Big Red Belt. Who's first to challenge the Beast Incarnate? Reigns, or someone else? And is this the last we've seen of Goldberg?
The someone else to challenge Lesnar could be Seth Rollins, who battled through his bad knee to defeat Triple H in the most sanctioned unsanctioned match of all time. It did come with some good fortune though, as Rollins got the win shortly after his big kick knocked Hunter into Stephanie McMahon, putting her through a table, before Rollins used Triple H's own Pedigree against him. This one might not be over though, with Payback 4 weeks away.
The RAW Tag Team division might as well have faded away and classified itself as obsolete (OBSOLETE!) as the now fixed Hardy Boyz made a sensational return to the WWE and claimed the RAW Tag Team Championship in a four way Ladder Match. Brother Nero (or just plain old Jeff Hardy) Swantoned Cesaro and Sheamus into oblivion, while the King of Deletion Matt Hardy outlasted Gallows, Anderson, Enzo and Cass to take the titles. How will the division respond to the Broken Brilliance?
Kevin Owens took the United States Championship from Chris Jericho, but it could have been a different story as "The Creation of Kevin" was the one thing stopping Y2J retaining, with Owens' index finger touching the rope after a Codebreaker. The Apron Powerbomb got it done, so who does Owens move onto next with his new title?
Bayley held onto the RAW Women's Title in an Elimination Four Way, last defeating Charlotte Flair with a big Macho Man style elbow drop, but a story to keep an eye on is Sasha Banks' elimination - after being knocked silly by an exposed turnbuckle, Bayley could have saved her, but she just watched as her best friend was pinned. The Boss might not take kindly to that...
On the Kickoff Show, Neville retained the Cruiserweight Title, having to go to the eye to defeat Austin Aries with the Red Arrow. With the King of the Cruiserweights still firmly on his throne, who will be next to try and throw him off his perch, with a hungry division all waiting to prove themselves after not being on the show?
As for the rest of the roster, they'd better be aware of Braun Strowman's wrath after he was dumped out of the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal, there's very high profile people he could take it out on...
With the RAW after WrestleMania as we know it, what debuts and returns will we get, and will Stephanie be too busy picking splinters out of her to name a new RAW General Manager? Find out all this and more in the rowdiest RAW of the year, tonight from 8/7c on USA!
