10 Kevin Owens & Sami Zayn Challenged The Usos At WrestleMania

This week's edition of Monday Night Raw kicked off with the newly reconciled Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens. They talked a bit about how the last few months went, and Owens admitted that he couldn't stand to see Zayn alongside The Bloodline. But then Owens said it was time to end Roman Reigns' empire together.

Then The Usos showed up and Owens told Jimmy "You and your brother against me and my brother at WrestleMania." The Usos agreed and then there was a brawl.

9 Austin Theory Defeated Montez Ford

After defeating Angelo Dawkins last week, United States Champion Austin Theory faced off against Montez Ford. It was a good match overall, Ford showed his athleticism and charisma, but as expected, Theory was able to handle him amidst boos. After eight minutes, Theory defeated Montez Ford. After the match, Theory cut a promo telling John Cena that he doesn't believe in him right now, but he will at WrestleMania.

8 Omos Squashed Mustafa Ali

Omos faced Mustafa Ali this Monday. It was expected to be a squash match, but it ended quicker than expected. Mustafa Ali couldn't even show his offense, as Omos only needed seconds to win. The Nigerian Giant also defeated Dolph Ziggler a couple of weeks ago, so he has momentum heading into his WrestleMania match against Brock Lesnar. Omos now has 18 wins and five losses in singles matches.

7 Logan Paul Knocked Out Seth Rollins (Again)

Logan Paul cut a promo saying that no one liked him, but he doesn't really care. Paul insulted the St. Louis fans and said he was too good at everything he did. Then Logan Paul recalled with a video when he knocked out Seth Rollins and laughed a lot, until Seth "Freakin" Rollins showed up. They had a brawl that ended in Logan Paul's favor, as he knocked Rollins out again.

6 Dominik Mysterio Defeated Johnny Gargano

Dominik Mysterio and Johnny Gargano went one on one this week. It was a decent match. Gargano clearly carried Mysterio, but you have to admit that the latter is improving, as he seems to have more confidence and is wrestling smoother.

Gargano was hurt due to Grayson Waller's attack, so Dom focused his attacks on Gargano's ribs and midsection, which was determinant for Dom to get the win cleanly. Yes, you read it right, Dominik Mysterio defeated Johnny Gargano cleanly.

5 “Bring Your Demon”

On this week's episode of RAW we saw a sinister, but pretty cool promo from Edge. He talked about Hell In A Cell, referencing some of his matches there, like against The Undertaker, and saying that he's quite the expert in that field. Edge thinks he's a devil inside the structure. He is confident, so he told Finn Balor to "bring your Demon to meet the Devil." Looks like we're in for a memorable match at WrestleMania.

4 Rhea Ripley Defeated Bayley

Rhea Ripley was cutting a promo dedicated to Charlotte Flair, when Damage CTRL came to the ring. Bayley offered advice to Rhea Ripley, since after all she defeated Charlotte Flair at WrestleMania once. However, Rhea said that she didn't need help from Damage CTRL, so Bayley and Ripley ended up facing each other in a singles match. During the match, Becky Lynch, Trish Stratus and Lita showed up, and they ended up distracting Bayley, which allowed Ripley to win.

3 Ricochet Defeated Chad Gable

Ricochet and Chad Gable delivered the best match of the night. Gable showed his exquisite and impeccable technique, while Ricochet showed his insane athleticism. It didn't take long for the fans to chant "This is awesome" and rightfully so, as every move was executed to perfection and there were some great spots.

If this match had been five minutes longer we would be talking about a memorable confrontation, but it all ended when Otis went off on Maxxine Dupri, which distracted Gable and allowed Ricochet to win the match.

2 Bianca Belair & Asuka Beat Chelsea Green & Piper Niven

Vince McMahon is no longer in charge, but in WWE we continue to see two rivals team up in a tag team match as part of the build up to a match. This has happened several times, for example it happened with John Cena and Shawn Michaels, and it happened with Sasha Banks and Bianca Belair.

Now, Belair and Asuka teamed up to take on Chelsea Green and Piper Niven. Belair scored the win after hitting an impressive KOD on Niven, but after the match Asuka attacked Belair.

1 Cody Rhodes Left Roman Reigns Speechless

The final segment of this week's episode of Monday Night Raw was between Roman Reigns and Cody Rhodes. The Tribal Chief told Cody that he only knew how to run away, as he ran away from WWE, then created a company and also ran away, and told him that when he loses at WrestleMania he will also run away.

Cody responded by saying that Reigns will wake up on April 3rd and remember how it feels to have lost and what it feels like to be without a title. Cody said that when Roman is no longer champion, the Usos and Solo Sikoa will leave him, so it will be a Chief without a tribe. Roman didn’t know what to say and left the ring.
