‘WWE Raw’ Review (Mar 10th 2025)

by Phil Wheat

Welcome to our review of this past Monday’s episode of WWE Raw, right here on Nerdly! Let’s see what went down on the now Netflix-broadcast show.

Match #1: Jey Uso def. Grayson Waller

The following is courtesy of wwe.com:

Just 40 nights ahead of WrestleMania, Jey Uso took down Grayson Waller with a devastating Spear to pick up the win. After the match, Austin Theory tried to interfere but was also met with a Spear. Gunther, however, was quick to ambush his WrestleMania opponent, locking in the Sleeper Hold on Jey.

My Score: 2.5 out of 5

Match #2: Tornado Tag Team Match – The New Day def. Dragon Lee & Rey Mysterio

The following is courtesy of wwe.com:

The tables came out early as The New Day battled Dragon Lee and Rey Mysterio in a Tornado Tag Team Match. Lee sent Woods into the table before Mysterio eventually dialed the 619 onto Kingston. Just as Lee and Mysterio were gathering momentum, a mysterious masked assailant interfered, allowing The New Day to take control. Woods and Kingston then hit an assisted stomp to defeat The LWO.

My Score: 2.5 out of 5

Match #3: Raquel Rodriguez def. Bayley

The following is courtesy of wwe.com:

Raquel Rodriguez and Bayley battled in an effort to become No. 1 Contender to Women’s Intercontinental Champion Lyra Valkyria. Rodriguez dominated in the early portions, rag-dolling The Role Model before hitting a fallaway slam. Bayley fought back, nailing a huge elbow drop from the top rope but could not get the three-count. Liv Morgan and Dominik Mysterio distracted the referee, allowing Rodriguez to plant The Role Model onto the announce table and leaving very little time for Bayley to get back into the ring. Bayley got back to the ring only to be met with a Tejana Bomb as Rodriguez got one step closer to the Women’s Intercontinental Title.

My Score: 3 out of 5

Match #4: Steel Cage Match – Seth Rollins def. CM Punk

The following is courtesy of wwe.com:

CM Punk and Seth “Freakin” Rollins went to war inside the vicious confines of a Steel Cage. The Second City Savior nailed Rollins with three top-rope elbow drops, but Rollins connected with a devastating superplex from the top of the cage onto The Best in the World. As Punk went for a third GTS, Rollins countered with the STF, but Punk made a counter of his own by locking in the Anaconda Vise. As Rollins escaped the submission, The Visionary leveled Punk with the Stomp, but Punk kicked out. Rollins kept frustrating Punk, kicking out of a third GTS and even a Stomp when Punk stole Rollins’ move. Rollins used Punk’s playbook as well, hitting a GTS before an almighty Stomp, but Punk frustrated The Visionary by kicking out. Just as the match looked to be concluding, Roman Reigns shockingly appeared to attack Rollins, taking him out of the cage and gifting him the win.

My Score: 4 out of 5

Final Verdict: 3/5

Another less-than-stellar week of Raw, that makes it three in a row at least. Though this week’s show was, overall, worse than the last episode and that’s mainly because the whole thing felt like it was treading water until the main event. Don’t get me wrong that was a great main event but sheesh, it took a lot of effort to sit through the rest of the show until then!
