Segment 1 — Opening: Oba Femi Drops Brock Lesnar Again
WWE RAW opened with a video package recapping the shocking events of last week, when Oba Femi left Brock Lesnar in a heap in the middle of the ring. The Boston crowd carried the energy straight into the live broadcast, chanting "Oba" before the segment even began.
Paul Heyman stepped into the ring alongside Brock Lesnar, listing Lesnar's legendary accolades in an attempt to fire up The Beast Incarnate. However, the moment Oba Femi's music hit, the arena erupted. Lesnar charged immediately and attempted to hoist Femi up for the F-5 — but struggled to get the big man off the mat. Femi escaped, floored Lesnar with a vicious clothesline, and dumped him out of the ring. Oba Femi stood tall at the top of the show, sending a clear message 26 nights before WrestleMania 42.
Match 1 — World Tag Team Championship: The Usos (c) vs. The Vision (Logan Paul & Austin Theory)
World Tag Team Championships on the line
The Usos made their entrance to a big reception in Boston. Before the match, footage aired of Logan Paul getting into a heated altercation with NFL legend Tom Brady at a flag football game over the weekend — fuelling the crowd's disdain for The Maverick even further.
Austin Theory and Jey Uso kicked off the action. The Vision controlled portions of the match, with Logan Paul looking dangerous at ringside. However, the contest descended into chaos, resulting in a disqualification finish. The Usos retain the World Tag Team Championships via disqualification. Backstage, it was confirmed that WWE Official Adam Pearce has sanctioned a Street Fight between The Usos and The Vision for next week's RAW at Madison Square Garden in New York City.
Backstage Segment — The Usos & LA Knight
Following the match, Jimmy Uso thanked LA Knight for having their backs in recent weeks. Knight, never one to hold back, mockingly pointed out that Jey used brass knuckles and still managed to lose. Jey Uso bristled at the comment and warned Knight there are consequences for speaking disrespectfully about his family. Knight fired back by remarking that Jey sounded exactly like Roman Reigns — at which point Big Jim stepped in to defuse the tension, but firmly told Knight to watch his words. An intriguing dynamic building between these men ahead of WrestleMania 42.
Segment 2 — Becky Lynch vs. AJ Lee: A WrestleMania 42 Match Is Made
Becky Lynch came to the ring and wasted no time taking shots at AJ Lee, mocking her 10-year absence from WWE. Lynch compared Lee's decade-long hiatus unfavourably to her own 10-month maternity leave, declaring that she "murdered the Divas division" and built the modern Women's division in WWE single-handedly.
The roof nearly came off TD Garden when AJ Lee's music hit. Lee walked out to a thunderous reception and delivered a heartfelt but pointed response — telling Becky that she is her own daughter's favourite WWE Superstar. Lee then issued a formal challenge for a match at WrestleMania 42 for the Women's Intercontinental Championship. Lynch, with a smirk, said Lee had fallen right into her trap, vowing that after WrestleMania, no one would ever see or hear from AJ Lee again. AJ Lee vs. Becky Lynch is officially set for WrestleMania 42.
Match 2 — Je'Von Evans vs. Grayson Waller
Grayson Waller came out expecting support from Kofi Kingston, but Kingston made clear early on that he would not be getting involved. The match was a showcase for the electric young talent Je'Von Evans, who brought the TD Garden crowd to its feet multiple times.
The highlight of the contest saw Evans sprint up the turnbuckle pads and hit a breathtaking top-rope hurricanrana, seamlessly transitioning into his OG Cutter for the pinfall victory. Je'Von Evans wins via pinfall. Kofi Kingston watched the finish closely from ringside and appeared noticeably impressed by Evans, before briefly consoling a dejected Grayson Waller. A slow-burn story appears to be developing between Kingston and Evans.
Segment 3 — Seth Rollins Arrested After Attacking Paul Heyman
In one of the most dramatic segments of the night, WWE Official Adam Pearce called Paul Heyman to the ring to address the ongoing situation with Seth Rollins. Heyman, flanked by legal protection, revealed that he had filed a formal restraining order against Seth Rollins — and that Boston law enforcement was on standby to enforce it should Rollins appear.
In a masterful piece of storytelling, Rollins had smuggled himself into the arena disguised as a masked crew member, sitting unnoticed at the commentary table. He revealed himself and attempted to charge the ring, but was immediately surrounded by Boston PD officers who blocked his path. Heyman — never knowing when to stop — made a deeply personal remark directed at Rollins' daughter.
That was all Rollins needed. He snapped, broke through the officers, laid hands on Heyman, and was subsequently tackled to the mat, handcuffed, and escorted out of TD Garden by law enforcement. The crowd gave Rollins a standing ovation as he was taken away in cuffs. The restraining order saga adds enormous fuel to what is already a scorching feud heading into WrestleMania 42.
Match 3 — Bayley & Lyra Valkyria vs. The Kabuki Warriors (Asuka & Kairi Sane)
A hard-hitting tag team contest that gave the Boston crowd a chance to breathe after the chaos of the Rollins segment. The Kabuki Warriors worked with impressive cohesion, controlling lengthy stretches of the bout. In a striking moment of loyalty, Kairi Sane threw herself directly into the path of a flying elbow intended for Asuka off the announce desk, sacrificing her own body to protect her partner.
However, Lyra Valkyria proved too resilient to be denied. She recovered from the punishment, launched herself onto both Kabuki Warriors with a diving attack, and rolled Kairi Sane back into the ring. Valkyria connected with her Nightwing finishing move for the three-count. Bayley & Lyra Valkyria win via pinfall.
Match 4 — WWE Intercontinental Championship: Penta (c) vs. "Dirty" Dominik Mysterio
WWE Intercontinental Championship on the line
Dominik Mysterio arrived accompanied by Liv Morgan — but the couple's entrance was immediately derailed when Stephanie Vaquer launched a vicious assault on Morgan at ringside, fighting through security to send a message before the match even began.
Dominik, rattled by the ringside chaos, took the fight to Penta aggressively and jumped the champion during the ring introductions. JD McDonagh provided interference at key moments, threatening to swing the match in Dominik's favour. Then, unexpectedly, Finn Bálor walked out to the ring. Bálor took out McDonagh without hesitation, and the sudden distraction at ringside created the opening Penta needed. Dom turned into a quick roll-up and was caught for the three-count. Penta retains the WWE Intercontinental Championship via pinfall.
The drama was far from over. After the bell, Bálor turned on both Dominik Mysterio and JD McDonagh, attacking both men and standing over them in the ring. The image was unmistakable — Finn Bálor and the Balor Club are back.
Main Event Segment — Roman Reigns Powerbombs CM Punk Through a Table
Backstage in the gorilla position, CM Punk was stopped by Jimmy Uso, who warned him that Roman Reigns was in a destructive state of mind and that Punk should reconsider walking out. With a calm smile, Punk simply said "Thanks, Big Jim" and headed to the ring anyway.
Punk addressed the Boston crowd directly, posing the question of whether he's past his prime — receiving a passionate and divided response. He responded with the kind of sharp wit that has defined his entire career, drawing a comparison between himself and baseball legend Nolan Ryan, who was still delivering knockout performances well into his forties.
Roman Reigns eventually made his entrance, and the two WrestleMania 42 opponents stood face-to-face in the centre of the ring. Before either man could speak, Jey Uso attacked CM Punk from behind. Punk quickly turned the tables and dropped Jey — but then Roman Reigns came roaring in with a devastating Spear. With Punk down, Reigns was not finished. He hoisted CM Punk up and delivered a thunderous Powerbomb straight through the announce table.
Roman Reigns stood tall over the wreckage of CM Punk to close out RAW, staring directly into the camera as the Boston crowd rained down boos. With WrestleMania 42 just 26 nights away, the Head of the Table has sent the clearest possible message to the Straight Edge Superstar.
