**Minneapolis, MN** – WWE Monday Night Raw delivered a night of thrilling action and shocking betrayals on April 7th, 2025, as the road to WrestleMania 41 in Las Vegas heated up. The show, broadcast on Netflix, saw several key moments that set the stage for the upcoming extravaganza.
The evening kicked off with Raw General Manager Adam Pearce announcing a monumental triple threat match for the WWE Women’s World Championship at WrestleMania. IYO SKY, Bianca Belair, and Rhea Ripley will clash for the title after a backstage confrontation that ended with SKY surprisingly signing the contract after laying out her opponents.
In championship action, Lyra Valkyria successfully defended her WWE Women’s Intercontinental Championship against Bayley in a hard-fought match filled with near falls and exciting reversals. Valkyria ultimately secured the victory with a jackknife pin.
Elsewhere, the tag team division saw a dramatic turn of events. The War Raiders’ world tag team title reign ended in disqualification after a brutal post-match attack by The New Day, leaving the champions battered and bruised.
El Grande Americano continued his impressive run, teaming with American Alpha to defeat the LWO in a high-flying contest. Rey Mysterio later challenged Americano to a WrestleMania match, which was promptly accepted.
The simmering tension between Gunther and Jey Uso reached a fever pitch. An emotional Jey Uso confronted Gunther, vowing revenge for the brutal attack on his brother Jimmy, promising to reclaim the WWE World Heavyweight Championship at WrestleMania.
The show’s most shocking moment came during Paul Heyman’s in-ring segment. Seth Rollins, questioning Heyman’s loyalty to both him and CM Punk, attacked Heyman, leading to Punk’s unexpected arrival to save his friend. The ensuing brawl spilled into the crowd, ending with Rollins delivering a Blackout to Punk and claiming Heyman now owes him a favor. This leaves Heyman in a precarious position heading into WrestleMania.
The night also featured several other notable segments, including a backstage altercation between AJ Styles and Karrion Kross, setting up a potential match for next week’s Raw, and a victory for Penta El Zero Miedo over Dominik Mysterio, only to be attacked by Carlito and then Bron Breakker, leading to a final attack by Finn Balor.
The show concluded with the WWE Universe buzzing over the night’s surprises and anticipating the explosive events to come at WrestleMania 41.
