Today's episode of WWE Monday Night Raw (March 31, 2025) emanates out of The O2 Arena in London, England.
As a reminder, WWE programming on Netflix airs when it is recorded, so since this is in a different time zone, it will actually air at 4 p.m. EST instead of its traditional time.
This post will be updated frequently throughout the program (for however long the show goes on). As Raw goes on, keep refreshing this post to get the most up-to-date information on all the match winners, breakdowns of the promo segments, and anything else noteworthy or interesting that takes place.
Preview & Predictions for WWE RAW:
On tap for tonight's episode, Cody Rhodes and John Cena will once again be in the building together. As a rinse and repeat of the formula we've been seeing, this assuredly means another promo segment. Since they haven't gotten physical in any capacity since Elimination Chamber, time is running out for them to start fighting, but WWE may be purposely keeping them away from that for as long as possible not only to avoid any potential injuries that would ruin the big match, but to also build up tension for when it does happen, which could very well be tonight. Otherwise, Cena will cut a heel promo badmouthing the fans, Rhodes will come to their defense and say he's going to beat Cena at WrestleMania, and that will be it.
More importantly, Rhea Ripley gets a shot to win back the Women's World Championship from Iyo Sky, with the winner going on to defend the title against Women's Elimination Chamber winner Bianca Belair at WrestleMania 41. Belair will be the special guest referee for this match, too, so expect some shenanigans to go down that will devolve into a situation where Raw General Manager Adam Pearce needs to just cut to the chase and rule this a Triple Threat match on The Grandest Stage of Them All.
Logan Paul is set to call out AJ Styles. After a promo segment and maybe a quick fight, a match between the two at WrestleMania will likely be confirmed.
Jimmy Uso is also set to battle Gunther. Given the world heavyweight champion's dominance and the story with him defending his title against Royal Rumble winner Jey Uso at WrestleMania, there's no doubt Jimmy Uso is coming up short here.
Though they haven't been directly advertised, we'll also see more out of El Grande Americano, advancements in The New Day's quest to beat The War Raiders for the tag titles, likely something more with Lyra Valkyria, Bayley, Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez, and it's doubtful we go this whole episode without hearing from CM Punk and/or Seth Rollins.
Here are your results for WWE Monday Night Raw March 31, 2025:
- John Cena and Cody Rhodes started the show with another promo, wherein upon other things, Cena said that Rhodes is just copying other people and not genuine, while Rhodes pointed out how Cena disenfranchised the fans and was a product of Vince McMahon. It's yet another good promo that wouldn't be done justice by me writing out the full transcript, and I recommend you checking it out for yourself when you can.
- The New Day defeated New Catch Republic by pinfall. War Raiders came out after the match to basically tease that they'll fight The New Day for the tag titles, though no announcement was made.
- Gunther defeated Jimmy Uso by referee stoppage. Jey Uso came out to run off Gunther post-match and check up on his brother. After the commercial break, Gunther attacked both of them, tying Jey to the turnbuckle and forcing him to watch as he beat Jimmy to a bloodied pulp.
- Finn Balor claimed that he and Dominik Mysterio made up, but also made it a point to throw a dig at Raquel Rodriguez for losing her intercontinental title match last week, saying it's okay because he'd be the one to bring the IC title to The Judgment Day.
- The Judgment Day (Dominik Mysterio & Finn Balor) defeated Bron Breakker & Penta by pinfall (with Balor pinning Penta after Breakker accidentally speared his teammate)
- Backstage, Chad Gable talks about how he'd love to get in the ring with El Grande Americano at one point, but he's still got a doctor's note about being too sick to face LWO this week. Next week, Raw is in his hometown of Minneapolis, and he wants to compete, but Adam Pearce says he's booked El Grande Americano, instead. This upsets Gable, who walks off, but not before he bumps into Alpha Academy, who wants to talk to Pearce about some tag team division opportunities. Pearce assumes this is just about Otis and Akira Tozawa, but Maxxine Dupri also wants to work something out between herself and Natalya.
- After the commercial break, Penta is mad at Bron Breakker for his stupid mistake.
- AJ Styles is in the ring with Logan Paul for a promo. Paul says he forgives Styles for the Royal Rumble, but Styles calls out Paul for being a p.o.s. Paul says he doesn't fight for free and London can't afford him. Paul suggests they have a match at WrestleMania and tries to blindside Styles with a kick, but Styles catches it and almost hits a Styles Clash until Paul escapes. Styles keeps the fight going and Paul uses the ropes to crotch The Phenomenal One before putting him down with The Paulverizer and points at the WrestleMania sign again to end the segment.
- Jackie Redmond interviews Lyra Valkyria backstage about WrestleMania and her focus right now with the Women's Intercontinental Championship. Valkyria thanks Bayley for having her back, and since Bayley's beaten her since she's won it, it's driving her crazy, so she wants to prove to herself that she can and will beat her. Next week, she fights Bayley for the Women's Intercontinental Championship.
- Finn Balor tells the rest of The Judgment Day that he's going to talk to Adam Pearce about getting an Intercontinental Championship shot. After he leaves, Liv Morgan tells Dominik Mysterio that he deserves a match just as much, if not more, because he worked just as hard to win the tag team match and Balor lost a shot at Breakker, so she's going to talk to Pearce after Balor gets done.
- Women's World Championship Match with special guest referee Bianca Belair: Iyo Sky (c) vs Rhea Ripley was ruled a double disqualification by Belair after both Ripley and Sky accidentally hit her.
