WWE Monday Night Raw Results – Feb 24th, 2025

• Logan Paul opens the show in his home state of Ohio. He said he’s the same as the fans of Ohio but better to the crowd, disses Cincinnati, and then says he will win Elimination Chamber before he’s interrupted by CM Punk.
• CM Punk, wearing a Chicago Teachers Union shirt, is cheered as Logan Paul asks the crowd “why?” and asks what Punk’s problem is with him.
• Punk says he doesn’t have a problem with Logan, he doesn’t know him, and says Logan’s just another stupid, loud-mouthed kid who has no character or substance.
• Logan says Punk cracked under pressure after his big comeback and that he can’t handle the spotlight, that’s why WWE needs Logan Paul.
• He says Punk is like Stone Cold, Cena and everybody else that these fans have seen before, but he’s something different, and the people will soon be cheering his name.
• Punk says the names Logan mentioned, Punk included, are legends and history-makers. Punk says Logan’s a flash in the pan who’s not going to be in WWE long enough to be remembered.
• Punk says he’s going to eliminate Logan at Elimination Chamber, face Cody Rhodes, leave with the title at WrestleMania in Las Vegas, and he will make history, while Logan will be history.
• Punk says in this business he is Satan himself and Logan Paul is a nobody.
• Logan Paul slaps Punk and bails out of the ring, laughing at him, and asking Punk if he’s ok. Punk says “run while you can, because on Saturday, you’re locked in a cage with CM Punk”.
• Ludwig Kaiser defeats Penta and Pete Dunne in a shock victory in an etnertaining triple threat. Each man brought the best out of the other in an absolute blast from start to finish. If styles make matches, this was a doozy.
• A vignette airs for John Cena’s final Elimination Chamber in which a montage plays over his post-Royal Rumble press conference speech.
• Rhea Ripley says she won’t worry about Elimination Chamber because her full focus is on Iyo Sky next week, as she’s never beaten her. But they haven’t had a singles match in 5 years, and in that 5 years she’s become WWE’s most dominant female.
• Iyo Sky arrives, cuts a promo in Japanese, and says she will defeat Rhea again to become World Champion and go to WrestleMania.
• The New Day are ready for their match, and say that the crowd should be thankful they are here, before being cut off by the LWO, who are looking for retribution for the assault on Rey Mysterio.
• The New Day win again in an impressive victory over the LWO. They attack on Cruz Del Toro and Joaquin Wilde. Dragon Lee then hit the ring with Woods taking a big corner dropkick, but The New Day then dismantled him too.
• The Judgement Day are shown and Finn says that last Monday night was the most embarrassing night in the Judgment Day, all down to Dom.
• Finn says there’s no new members coming in, and Liv comes in to say they should not be arguing.

• Gunther has a lengthy promo with Tozawa in which he calls Akira a joke, wasting his opportunity on TikTok dances, and challenges Tozawa to earn his respect.
• Despite some fight, Gunther destroys Tozawa, featuring one of the biggest chops ever seen, and a venomous missile dropkick, before finally choking him out.

• Jey Uso runs out to chase Gunther off as the Rocket Mortgage Fieldhouse shakes, and Gunther slinks off into the night.
• Lyra Valkyria retained her Intercontinental Championship against Dakota Kai in a close contest. A big show of respect at the end, as Valkyria wins again with Nightwing.
• Ivy Nile attacks Dakota Kai as she gets to the entrance, then hits the ring and destroys Lyra Valktria, before standing over her body holding her IC title. There’s a big crowd reaction for Nile too.
• Sami Zayn is interviewed by Jackie Redmond and is asked about Kevin Owens being at his house on SmackDown. Sami reveals he went to Kevin’s house and spoke to Kev’s mom, and said he was ashamed that he went to KO’s house with such bad intentions.
• Sami says Kevin and he have never brought family into it before, and he says neither of them are in a headspace they’ve seen from one another in all of their years of friendship.
• Sami promises the Unsanctioned Match at Elimination Chamber will be worse than anything they’ve ever done to one another.
• Bianca Belair and Naomi slay in a great vignette. Their chemistry improves all the time.
• Bron Breakker defeats Dominik Mysterio via DQ. He was about to hit his spear when The Judgment Day interfered and attempted a beatdown.

• American Made are then attacked by The War Raiders.
• Cody Rhodes comes out to a loud pop from a great crowd, and says he knows exactly what he has to talk about.
• He asks what he thinks The Rock means when he says The Final Boss wants his soul.
• Cody says he’d never lie to the fans, and he says he’s a blessed man and this decision is about more than just him and rattles off a whole team of people who make him The American Nightmare.
• Cody says he also has to worry about Dusty Rhodes’s legacy. He goes to talk about the Rock’s offer, but he’s interrupted by Seth Rollins.
• Seth Rollins has great, calm delivery, but is incensed that Cody is thinking about taking The Rock’s deal. He doesn’t want to regret helping Cody win the Championship at WrestleMania last year.
• Cody says he’d like this conversation to be a nicer one, but Seth sounds very judgmental.
• He reminds Seth he hit Cody with a sledgehammer as he left the company injured, and he saddled up with The Authority after hitting The Shield with a chair, all to run people like Rhodes out of WWE.
• Cody says Seth was his brother at WrestleMania and helped him and his family complete their mission, and that Seth was the MVP of last year’s WrestleMania,
• Seth says maybe he’s out there to protect Cody from the mistakes Rollins made in the past. He says he’s been filled with hate lately, at the right people like Roman and Punk, but he doesn’t want to hate Cody Rhodes.
• He says he doesn’t want to face a soulless Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania, he wants the best of Cody Rhodes and reminds him of their history.
• Seth says he’s not coming for his soul, but he is coming for his title.
• A vignette is shown around the Jade Cargill injury situation, and Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez being at the scene of the crime, ahead of the Women’s Tag Team Championship.
• Jey Uso is shown in the medical area with American Alpha, but he’s met outside by A-Town Down Under.
• Grayson Waller calls Jey Uso nothing but a meme, and goes off on him. Jey lets him talk before saying he’s going to beat Gunther and prove everyone wrong. He then superkicks Waller and leaves.
• Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez are the new Tag Team Champions, after Liv Morgan pinned Naomi. Raquel Rodriguez slammed Naomi’s head into the ring post as she attempted a springboard in the corner, and Morgan was there to capitalize with the pinfall.
• They are champions for a historic third time, as Liv Morgan’s incredible 12 months continues.

This was the best Monday Night Raw in weeks. Cody Rhodes did a tremendous job of making sense of The Rock’s offer on SmackDown, and Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez are restoring honor to The Judgment Day with their title win. They are a great choice to be tag team champions going into WrestleMania season. Gunther is doing a great job in antagonizing the most lovable members of the Raw roster, and CM Punk and Logan Paul had great chemistry for two men so culturally and idealistically opposed.
