WWE RAW REPORT: A SPECIAL GUEST STAR MAKES HIS IMPACT FELT, PUNK IS BACK, HAS CANDICE GONE OVER THE EDGE?, HAS BECKY GONE OVER THE EDGE?, WHAT ROCKY STUFF ARE SAMI AND CHAD GOING TO DO NEXT WEEK?, AND MORE

By Richard Trionfo on 2024-03-25 23:00:00

We are back and Raw Women's Champion Rhea Ripley makes her way to the ring with Dominik Mysterio.

Rhea says she feels like she isn't getting enough attention.  She says she feels like a certain someone isn't giving her their full attention.  Becky continues to fight week after week and she could have gotten her attention by attacking her during her matches, but Rhea says she wanted to be respectful.  Wrestlemania is around the corner and she asks Dom if Becky should give her her full attention.

Becky's music interrupts Dom and she makes her way to the ring.

Becky says she is back in Chicago.  Becky says Rhea looks fresh as a daisy.  At least she didn't wait until Rhea was done with a 20 minute match.  Becky says she can't do that because Rhea doesn't wrestle. 

Rhea asks why would she want to compete before the biggest match of her career.  Rhea says she doesn't have to get in this ring to get everyone's attention.  She could post a photo or video and see the freaks react.  She does not have to prove herself week after week.

Becky tells Rhea to listen to herself.  She says that is the problem.  They have different interpretations of what a champion means.  You think it is showing your ass on social media, while Becky says she is here to bust her ass every night.  There will be someone newer, younger, and hotter but it is all about skill and merit.  It is how you come back when you are in the muck and when you aren't the chosen one anymore.  At Wrestlemania, she will give Rhea a new experience.

Rhea says Becky is right.  You have been through everything.  You are a survivor.  Rhea says she can't take that from Becky.  Rhea says Becky is a cockroach.  You are hard to kill but it is not impossible.  She won't take it that far at Wrestlemania.  She wants to let Rhea stay alive so she can sit on her couch and watch Rhea while she listens to your daughter call Rhea 'Mami'.  

Becky says that is Rhea's one pass and if she mentions her daughter again you will suffer.  Becky says her dad never got to meet her daughter.  She was proud of what she did in the ring but he would have been proud of what kind of mother she is.  That might be a joke to you, but it isn't a joke to her.  You say you didn't attack me out of respect.  There is nothing respectful about you.  When you throw that first punch, there is no coming back.

After Wrestlemania, they will never be the same.

They go face to face and Dom pulls Rhea away.  Dom gets in Becky's face and Becky punches Dom and then she goes after Rhea and they exchange punches.  Rhea with a kick and she sends Becky shoulder first into the ring post.  

Rhea checks on Dom and she starts to leave the ringside area but Becky with a forearm to the back of the head off the ring steps.

Dom holds Rhea back and Becky gets away from the officials and she hits Dom with a forearm.  Becky and Rhea exchange more punches.

Sami Zayn walks in the back and he sees Chad Gable talking to Maxxine Dupri.  

Chad says he wants to talk about how things ended last week.

Sami understands and he says that Chad doesn't think he can beat Gunther.  Sami says tonight is about making Gunther eat his words.  

Chad says Gunther is trying to get Sami off his game.  He tells Sami to get his head out of his ass.

Sami says Chad is right.  He says he knows what he needs to do tonight.  Sami says he appreciates what Chad said and they shake hands.

Sami is in the back and he throws things and Chad stops him.

Sami says he let Gunther get in his head.  Sami asks how does he let that happen?  

Chad says this is what Gunther does.  He plants those seeds of doubt.  You showed your physicality and resilience in the ring.  Gunther makes it mental and beats you down.  To get to the other side of Wrestlemania with your hand raised, you need a different approach.  If that is what you want, we can talk.

Next week, The New Day and DIY will face THE Judgment Day.  Rock and Roman Reigns will be on Raw next week.
