Another Monday night, another episode of WWE Raw—and this week delivered plenty of action, surprises, and, of course, controversy. As the road to WrestleMania 41 continues, the stakes are rising, but not every storyline is hitting the mark. With Roman Reigns making his presence felt in the main event, Logan Paul setting his sights on The Grandest Stage of Them All, and Chad Gable’s mysterious return, there was plenty to unpack.
Here’s our breakdown of three things we loved and three things we hated from the March 10, 2025, edition of Raw.
Hated: GUNTHER vs. Jey Uso Is Already Losing Steam
When Jey Uso won the Royal Rumble and GUNTHER retained his World Heavyweight Championship, this WrestleMania matchup had a lot of potential. But over the past few weeks, their rivalry has felt repetitive. Whether it’s the show-opening brawls or GUNTHER pulling the same tricks, the feud lacks the fire it needs to stay compelling.
WWE needs to shake things up—maybe a locker-room-clearing brawl, a main-event segment, or even a stipulation that raises the stakes. Right now, it feels like this rivalry is taking a backseat to bigger WrestleMania storylines, which is a shame for what should be a marquee championship match.
Hated: WWE Overcomplicates Logan Paul vs. AJ Styles
Logan Paul is a natural heel, and a match against AJ Styles makes perfect sense for WrestleMania. However, WWE unnecessarily overcomplicated their segment on Raw. Instead of keeping things simple with Styles calling out Paul as advertised, we got a detour with Paul boasting about being on the same level as The Rock and John Cena—plus a random appearance by Andrew Schulz.
It took the focus away from the match buildup and felt like a bait-and-switch. Sometimes, the simplest path is the best one. WWE should’ve let Styles call out Paul directly, keeping the heat between them instead of diverting attention elsewhere.
Hated: A Champion Shouldn’t Be the No. 1 Contender for Another Title
Raquel Rodriguez is already one-half of the Women’s Tag Team Champions, yet she’s now set to challenge for the Women’s Intercontinental Championship. This move feels like a missed opportunity to elevate other talent.
The Women’s IC Title is still finding its footing, and instead of using it to showcase fresh faces in the division, WWE is handing the opportunity to someone who already holds gold. Why not give a rising star a shot? Instead of splitting focus, WWE should prioritize building both championships by giving underutilized talent meaningful opportunities.
Loved: Chad Gable’s Luchador Mystery
Chad Gable made his return in the most bizarre yet intriguing way possible. During The New Day’s match against Rey Mysterio and Dragon Lee, a masked luchador interfered—sporting red, white, and blue gear with “American Made” embroidered on the mask. Naturally, everyone assumed it was Gable.
But then came the twist. While Gable was being interviewed backstage, the same masked figure appeared in the background. This instantly sparked speculation—could this be the WWE debut of Fenix? Whether it is or not, this kind of mid-card mystery adds excitement and intrigue to the show. More of this, please!
Loved: Bianca Belair Brings Drama Back to the Women’s Division
Bianca Belair has found herself at the center of two WrestleMania feuds, and we love the chaos. On SmackDown, she was tangled in drama with Naomi and Jade Cargill, and now on Raw, Rhea Ripley isn’t letting her forget about their unfinished business.
What makes this dynamic so compelling is that it’s not just about titles—it’s about emotions. Ripley and Belair have had completely different journeys over the past two years, and their tension feels earned. Add in IYO SKY, who is quietly proving why she’s the champion, and we’ve got a triple-threat match that actually makes sense. Give us more of these layered storylines in the women’s division.
Loved: Roman Reigns Wrecks Everyone & Leaves (Again)
The closing segment of Raw delivered big-time drama, as Roman Reigns made his presence felt in the steel cage main event between CM Punk and Seth Rollins. Ever since Punk eliminated both men from the Royal Rumble, tensions have been sky-high, and tonight, Reigns cashed in his receipt.
Reigns interfered, costing Punk the match before brutalizing Rollins. He even teased smashing Rollins’ head into the steel steps—until Adam Pearce and his officials stepped in to prevent further damage. Meanwhile, Paul Heyman’s torn loyalties between Reigns and Punk added another layer of intrigue.
This was classic Reigns—calculated, ruthless, and making a statement at exactly the right moment. Whether this leads to a WrestleMania triple threat with Punk and Rollins, or something else entirely, we’re all in.
Final Thoughts
This week’s Raw had its ups and downs, but the build to WrestleMania 41 is heating up. While some storylines need a creative refresh (cough GUNTHER vs. Uso cough), others, like the women’s division drama and Reigns’ return, are firing on all cylinders. With a few weeks left until Mania, let’s hope WWE irons out the weak spots and keeps delivering where it counts.
