WWE Raw results, recap and grades: CM Punk vs Seth Rollins cage match ended with Roman Reigns attacking both men

WrestleMania season is heating up, and this week’s episode of WWE Raw from Madison Square Garden, New York City, was full of surprises, action, and drama. From Roman Reigns’ shocking return to big matches being set for WrestleMania, here’s everything that happened on Monday Night Raw.

Roman Reigns Returns and Attacks CM Punk and Seth Rollins

The main event of Raw featured a steel cage match between CM Punk and Seth Rollins, two of WWE’s biggest superstars. Both men gave it their all, kicking out of each other’s finishers and fighting hard to prove who was better.

At one point, Punk could have walked out of the cage and won, but Rollins challenged him to finish the fight instead of escaping. As the match reached its peak, Roman Reigns made his shocking return, attacking Rollins and pulling him out of the cage — making Rollins the winner by escape.

But Reigns wasn’t done. He hit Rollins with a Superman Punch, Spear, and Stomp. Then, when Reigns saw Paul Heyman checking on Punk, his anger grew. He threw Punk into the steel cage and hit a Spear, standing tall as the show ended.

This moment has set up what looks like a huge Triple Threat match for WrestleMania: CM Punk vs. Seth Rollins vs. Roman Reigns. This could be one of WWE’s biggest matches of the year!
