The fallout from WrestleMania 40 and the start of a new era on WWE Raw.
April 6th and 7th saw the biggest WrestleMania ever take place in Philadelphia at Lincoln Financial Field. With lengthy title reigns coming to an end and new champions crowned, the company has gone through a reset in more ways than one.
The main event of WrestleMania Sunday saw Cody Rhodes finally finish the story and bring Roman Reigns’ lengthy reign as champion to an end in one of the most emotional closing moments in Mania history. With The Tribal Chief finally dethroned and Rhodes now the top champion in the company, The American Nightmare will appear live to discuss his victory and what happens next.
Earlier in the night, Damian Priest successfully cashed in his Money in the Bank contract to become the new World Heavyweight Champion, crashing Drew McIntyre’s party minutes after The Scottish Warrior defeated Seth Rollins. Much like Rhodes, Priest is likely set to appear live to brag about his victory and future plans for The Judgment Day.
WWE Raw Ushers In New Era
One year on from WWE announcing that they were sold to Endeavor, the company looks a mile apart from what it did in April 2023. With gradual changes made to production, previously unwritten rules being scrapped and a lot of former executives leaving the company, this very much feels like a new era of WWE, which has been referred to as the Triple H era on numerous occasions throughout WrestleMania. With goodwill for the company raised again following the very dark period during the Vince McMahon allegations, WWE looks to continue the momentum and make it clear that this is a whole new era.
Although no matches or segments have been announced for the show ahead of time, this Raw after WrestleMania is set to be one of the most memorable in history with big moments and the possibility of returns and NXT call ups.
