WWE Raw aired on 28th April 2025 and delivered an explosive episode filled with surprises, championship drama, and major developments on the road to WWE Backlash. From hard-hitting action to backstage twists, the Red Brand made sure to leave fans on the edge of their seats. Here’s a complete breakdown of everything that went down:
Opening Segment: Cody Rhodes Confronts Judgment Day
The show kicked off with “The American Nightmare” Cody Rhodes making his way to the ring to a thunderous ovation. Cody addressed his upcoming match at Backlash and expressed his frustration with the repeated interference by Judgment Day. Before he could finish, Finn Bálor and Damian Priest interrupted, flanked by Dominik Mysterio and JD McDonagh. A tense verbal exchange escalated quickly, and Raw General Manager Adam Pearce appeared to announce a blockbuster main event: Cody Rhodes & Seth Rollins vs. Damian Priest & Finn Bálor.
Match 1: Becky Lynch vs. Chelsea Green
Becky Lynch continued her strong singles run as she faced Chelsea Green in the opening contest. Chelsea, accompanied by Piper Niven, tried to use distractions and shortcuts, but Becky’s ring awareness and resilience paid off. After a back-and-forth bout, Becky locked in the Dis-arm-her for a submission victory.
Winner: Becky Lynch via submission
Post-match, Becky issued a challenge to Rhea Ripley for a title match at Backlash, raising the stakes for the women’s division.
Backstage: Sami Zayn & Kevin Owens Plan Strategy
Backstage, Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens discussed the recent attacks from Imperium. Owens seemed more fired up than ever, vowing revenge and challenging Ludwig Kaiser to a singles match later in the night. Sami advised caution, but Owens seemed dead set on delivering a message.
Match 2: The New Day vs. DIY
In tag team action, The New Day (Kofi Kingston & Xavier Woods) took on DIY (Johnny Gargano & Tommaso Ciampa) in a match that showcased brilliant chemistry and high-paced offense. The crowd was split in support for both teams, but a miscommunication from DIY allowed Kofi to hit Trouble in Paradise for the win.
Winners: The New Day
Post-match, both teams shook hands in a sign of respect, showing sportsmanship and possibly hinting at a future alliance.
Rhea Ripley Responds to Becky Lynch
Rhea Ripley, the Women’s World Champion, appeared backstage and responded to Becky’s challenge. With her usual confidence, Rhea accepted the challenge and warned Becky that stepping into her ring would lead to regret. The match was officially made for WWE Backlash: Becky Lynch vs. Rhea Ripley – Women’s World Championship.
Match 3: Kevin Owens vs. Ludwig Kaiser
Kevin Owens came out swinging, clearly fueled by vengeance. Ludwig tried to slow down the pace and targeted KO’s previously injured knee. Despite the tactical offense, Owens managed to land a Popup Powerbomb followed by a Stunner for the three-count.
Winner: Kevin Owens
After the match, Gunther and Giovanni Vinci attacked Owens, but Sami Zayn ran down to make the save. The crowd roared as Sami and KO stood tall together, showing their unity is far from broken.
Segment: Bronson Reed Issues a Challenge
In a pre-recorded promo, Bronson Reed laid down an open challenge for Backlash. He claimed he was tired of being overlooked and promised to dominate anyone who stepped into the ring with him. Could this lead to a surprise return or debut?
Match 4: Shayna Baszler vs. Tegan Nox
Shayna Baszler returned to Raw to take on Tegan Nox in a physical contest. Shayna’s technical style dominated most of the match. Tegan showed heart and fought back with agility, but a brutal knee strike followed by the Kirifuda Clutch ended her hopes.
Winner: Shayna Baszler via submission
Baszler declared that the Queen of Spades is back and warned the women’s locker room that she’s gunning for gold.
Backstage Drama: Judgment Day Plan Their Tactics
A backstage camera caught Judgment Day strategizing for the main event. Rhea Ripley took charge, telling the group to handle Cody and Seth by any means necessary. Dominik Mysterio also hinted at interfering if things didn’t go their way.
Match 5: United States Championship – Bron Breakker vs. Ricochet (Open Challenge)
Bron Breakker issued an open challenge for his United States Title, and Ricochet answered the call. The match was electrifying. Ricochet’s aerial maneuvers tested Breakker’s power, but Bron countered a Shooting Star Press with a spear mid-air that had the crowd erupting.
Winner: Bron Breakker retains via pinfall
The champ looked dominant and signaled that his reign is only beginning. After the match, Chad Gable appeared on the stage, staring down Breakker—perhaps teasing the next challenger.
Main Event: Cody Rhodes & Seth Rollins vs. Finn Bálor & Damian Priest
In a thrilling tag team main event, Cody and Seth reunited to battle Judgment Day’s top players. The chemistry between Rollins and Cody was strong, and the match featured near falls, tandem offense, and outside interference.
Dominik tried to interfere but was caught and ejected by the referee. As the chaos unfolded, Seth hit the Stomp on Bálor, and Cody followed with a Cross Rhodes on Priest to seal the victory.
Winners: Cody Rhodes & Seth Rollins
Closing Moments
After the match, Cody grabbed the mic and declared that he’s not done with Judgment Day, and he’s coming for championship gold. Seth Rollins nodded in agreement, showing a renewed sense of respect between the two. The show ended with the crowd chanting “Cody! Cody!” as the pyro exploded and Raw faded to black.
