WWE Raw after WrestleMania is usually the biggest Raw of any year as it marks the start of a new season and the 21 April WWE Raw After WrestleMania 41 was equally thrilling and kicked off some new rivalries as Randy hit the Undisputed WWE Champion John Cena with an RKO while Bron Breakker aligned with Seth Rollins.

Orton hits Cena with RKO after 17-time champion confronts fans
Cena, who won a record-breaking 17th world championship and surpassed Ric Flair’s long-standing record on Sunday, kicked off WWE Raw After WrestleMania 41 at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. He, however, had a confrontation with the crowd as he claimed they had no right to cheer his victory, as they had cheered his downfall recently.
“You don’t mean anything to me,” Cena said as the crowd jeered him. “Your noise means nothing to me.”
Cena also underlined that he had 36 dates during his farewell tour and only 27 are left for him in 2025.
“You say I cant’ wrestle? I don’t have to,” Cena said. “When that hits zero, the professional wrestling timeline stops.”
He added that no one will be able to take away the belt from him and he will leave as WWE Champion.
“There is no one with strength, speed, wisdom or ruthless aggression of John Cena,” he added.
Orton, it seems, was too bored with everything Cena said, so he appeared out of nowhere and hit the champions with an RKO. Orton was seen standing over Cena and holding up the undisputed WWE Championship.

WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship match
The title reign of Lyra Valkyria and Becky Lynch did not last long as Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez reclaimed the belts on Monday but the interesting bit here was that Lynch turned on Valkyria after the defeat.
Valkyria was left helpless in the ring as Lynch hit her with multiple punches. It seems Lynch will be fighting Valkyria for the Women’s Intercontinental Championship soon.
Rusev returns to WWE, Jey Uso makes first appearance as World Heavyweight Champion
RAW after WrestleMania always has some surprises and this time it was Rusev returning to WWE for the first time since 2020. He had left to join the All Elite Wrestling.
Rusev’s return collided with the World Tag Team Championship match. The match eventually did not take place as The New Day ran away. Rusev finished off by attacking Alpha Academy in the ring.
Soon after, Jey Uso came to the ring, making his first appearance as the new World Heavyweight Champion. While USO was celebrating in the ring, Zami Zayn returned to Raw for the first time since Elimination Chamber in February.
Zayn congratulated Uso. “I am proud of you, and you deserve it,” Zayn said as they shared a long hug.
Breakker aligns with Rollins, Heyman
Seth Rollins and Paul Heyman made their first appearance after the former shocked everyone at WrestleMania 41 . “I took the Wiseman from Roman Reigns. I stole CM Punk’s best friend. I am the winner of the main event of WrestleMania,” Rollins said.
Soon, it was trouble for Rollins and Heyman as CM Punk and Roman Reigns appeared with revenge on their minds. But Rollins and Heyman found support in Breakker, who speared Punk and Reigns.
We are expecting a tag team match between Rollins-Breakker and Punk-Reigns at Backlash.
