WWE Monday Night Raw comes waltzing back into our lives tonight (Mar. 10, 2025) from the famed Madison Square Garden in New York, New York, featuring all the latest build to the upcoming WrestleMania 41 extravaganza scheduled for next month in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Advertised for tonight: The latest chapter of the CM Punk vs. Seth Rollins rivalry will be a STEEL CAGE match to “contain the bedlam.” Reader, it will not do that, I promise you.
Elsewhere, AJ Styles has a plan to call out Logan Paul, Rey Mysterio & Dragon Lee team up to take on The New Day in a Tornado Tag Team match, Jey Uso goes one-on-one with Grayson Waller, and a whole lot more!
Come right back here at 8 pm ET when the Raw live blog will kick off once the show starts on USA Network. It will be below this line here.
WWE RAW RESULTS AND LIVE BLOG FOR MAR. 10
Well, you ask me why I like to dance and you ask me why I like to sing and you ask me why I like to play? I got to get my kicks some way. And you ask me what I’m all about, I’ll tell you I’m here to liveblog this pro wrestling show for you, folks.
The show opens with commentary hyping up our venue and thence into the traditional montage of talent arriving at the arena.
“Main Event” Jey Uso makes his entrance from the concourse and through the crowd.
Grayson Waller vs. “Main Event” Jey Uso
Circling, yeet, collar and elbow, Waller shoves him away. Back to the lockup, Grayson with a side headlock, shot off, shoulder block and a disdainful stomp to the neck. Uso off the ropes, wipes him out with an elbow, scoop and a slam. Waller puts him into the post shoulder-first, whip across, Jey sidesteps a charge, backsplash sets up an enzuigiri, a clothesline sends Grayson to the floor!
Yeet, off the ropes, suicide dive connects! Waller capitalizes and lays him out and we go to break.
Back from commercial, Waller with a diving elbow… NOPE! Uso with a Samoan drop, a kick sends Grayson to the floor, counter the dive, rolling thunder reverse STO… SO CLOSE! Rolling elbow gets a superkick, Jey lands one on Austin Theory as well, off the ropes…
Jey Uso wins by pinfall with a spear.
Post-match, A-Town Down Under beat Uso down but he back body drops Waller out of the ring and drops Theory with a spear! Headed up top, diving splash connects but GUNTHER is here and chokes Jey out with the Gojira Clutch.
We get a recap of the feud between CM Punk and Seth Rollins and we go to break.
Back from commercial, Alpha Academy check on Jey Uso in the trainer’s room.
Logan Paul makes his entrance and gets on the mic.
He tries to start talking about AJ Styles but gets drowned out in boos and it takes him a few tries to get going. He says he doesn’t really associate with guys like AJ— he’s Logan Paul, and when you hear his name you think of names like the Rock and John Cena who have transcended sports and entertainment and who will do anything to get to the top.
So that’s why he’s shocked that Cody Rhodes turned down the Rock’s offer and it took Cena twenty years to realize nice guys finish last. He tells Rock to consider his soul for sale, the craven asshole he is. He calls Andrew Schulz out in the crown and asks that he be given a mic and cajoles him into standing and saying why he came out to MSG tonight.
Schulz says he came out for the reason everybody else did, to see the steel cage match between CM Punk and Seth Rollins. Logan tries to get him to say he came to see him but Andrew doesn’t play along and says nobody came to see him, this is New York City, not Cleveland, Ohio. It’s a real city with a real arena and they want to see real wrestlers.
He particularly wants to see AJ Styles tonight, and that leads Paul to yank him over the barricade and throw him into the ring! Logan draws him up and hooks him, but Styles makes the save! STYLES RUSH! Schulz recovers in time to watch AJ hit the Phenomenal Forearm and high five him!
Styles calls him back but Paul keeps walking, so AJ raises Andrew Schulz’s hand and reminds us all that this is New York City.
We get a recap of the WWE Women’s World Championship scene.
New Day make their entrance and we go to break.
Back from commercial we get another hype reel for TKO boxing, brought to you in partnership with Saudi Arabia and that’s a bummer but again, it’s not like it’s much better here these days.
Oba Femi is shown in the front row.
Latino World Order (Dragon Lee & Rey Mysterio) vs. New Day (Kofi Kingston & Xavier Woods) (Tornado Match)
All-out brawling from the bell, babyfaces in control with mounted punches in stereo and then bulldogs as well! Going under the ring for plunder, they come up with a table but New Day cut them off and waylay them. Woods mocking “Tables!” chant and he slides the table back under the ring!
LWO back on their feet and brawling, whip reversed, Woods hard into the barricade and then they double-team Kingston! Babyfaces get the table a second time and succeed in setting it up this time, electric chair on Kofi, he slips out, X trips Dragon up on the apron! Lee caught with a double spinebuster and we go to break!
Back from commercial, New Day choking LWO in the corner, Lee up top, climbing up with him, jockeying for position, Kingston in the Tree of Woe, Xavier and Dragon fighting over top of him, Rey in there too, Frankensteiner takes Woods out! Tree of Woe double stomp from Lee… NOPE!
Mysterio puts Kingston on the second, ducks Trouble in Paradise, springboard crossbody… SO CLOSE! Slide under, back on the second, 619 connects! Rey off the top with the splash, knees up, cradle, Dragon breaks it up! Lee with a superkick, clothesline sends Kofi to the floor, off the ropes… TOPE CON GIRO!
A masked man dives in over the barricade with a Frankensteiner! Jumping headbutt, Rey confronts the masked man but he bounces Mysterio’s face off the apron and hits an Everest German suplex before throwing him back inside. The masked man throws his hands up with a big “GRACIAS!” and runs away from security!
Kofi back inside, quebradora, Woods off the top…
New Day win by pinfall with Up Up Down Down on Rey Mysterio.
We get a recap of Finn Balor calling Bron Breakker out last week.
In the Judgment Day clubhouse, Finn Balor complains about Bron Breakker to an unlistening Carlito, who mostly just wants to talk about how surprising it is John Cena is a bad guy now.
The rest of Judgment Day roll up to talk about how they got Raquel Rodriguez a path to a WWE Women’s Intercontinental Championship match and Finn a WWE Intercontinental Championship match against Bron for next week, and all he has to do is go talk to Adam Pearce and make it official.
He hugs Dominik real tight and thanks him and leaves. Liv tells Dom he should have taken the match for himself but he says he believes in Finn.
We get a hype reel for (sigh) WWE Evolve. I watched their little “history of Evolve” segment from the first one and it was just a hype reel of everybody who came through Evolve and is still in WWE’s good graces with some milquetoast “superstars of tomorrow” voiceover without anything about what actually made Evolve special. A bummer.
We see Macaulay Culkin in the crowd.
“American Nightmare” Cody Rhodes makes his entrance to send us to break.
Back from commercial, Cody Rhodes asks New York City what they want to talk about.
He talks a little bit about Madison Square Garden and mentions that John Cena is not going to be here tonight and he’s told his inner circle of Travis Scott, the Rock, that he won’t be here but he’ll be in Brussels, Belgium, next week. Cody says he doesn’t know if he likes that, this is the John Cena who won the United States Championship and the Royal Rumble here at MSG and apparently that was an easy decision.
It’s also easy to swing at someone after you’ve kicked them in the nuts and you have backup. He doesn’t begrudge a legend for calling his shots or having a part-time schedule, what he does begrudge is the day after Elimination Chamber, Cena going onto social media— he derails his point a moment to let the crowd chant so John can hear it at home.
He begrudges Cena talking about having the discipline to do what needs to be done even when you don’t feel like it. He says you have that mentor where eventually you have to turn to them and say “SIT DOWN JOHN, YOU GODDAMN MORON.” “Best for business,” nobody defines that better than John Cena but he thinks the thousands here tonight know better, because the business has changed.
It’s always tacky to cite stats, but there’s one statistic that will never be, one man’s delusion, and that’s seventeen. Seventeen will never happen, but he gets the heartbreaking privilege of beating his hero in his last chance as he finds out in real time that Cody is the captain now.
Judgment Day are walking backstage to send us to break.
Back from commercial we see more stars of various Netflix shows and other celebrities in the front row
Bayley vs. Raquel Rodriguez
Rodriguez in control early, getting Bayley down in the corner, the Role Model pops up and runs into a wristlock and gets slammed to the mat. Bayley hammering her with right hands, Raquel cuts her down, hard to the corner, sidestep the charge, arm drag blocked, short-arm lariat takes the Role Model down!
Whip to the corner, boot up, elbows in the corner and we go to break.
Back from commercial, Bayley hits the middle rope Stunner, Rodriguez kicks her away but she comes back with a sliding elbow! Getting under her, back suplex blocked, Raquel biels her across the ring! Up top, the Role Model drops the elbow, cover for two! Roseplant countered, counter countered, passing Rodriguez to the floor, Bayley with a dropkick through the ropes!
Off the ropes, baseball slide, nobody home, big right hand, scoop, the Role Model slips out of the lawn dart and puts her into the post! Dominik Mysterio runs interference, Bayley fends Liv Morgan off, off the ropes, suicide dive and Raquel catches her with a belly-to-belly suplex into the announce desk!
Beating the count, Bayley runs into a big boot, Rodriguez lifts her up…
Raquel Rodriguez wins by pinfall with a one-arm powerbomb, becoming #1 contender to the WWE Women’s Intercontinental Championship.
Chad Gable is interviewed backstage and he has no idea who the masked man from earlier was, and why should he? He says security here is pathetic and should have taken the masked man out of there before anything else happened, and as he defends his position we see the masked man being drug out of the arena behind him.
We see IYO SKY walking backstage and we go to break.
Back from commercial we get another round of celebrities in the crowd.
Michael Cole is in the ring to introduce IYO SKY.
She talks about how good it feels to be in Madison Square Garden as champion and she proved the impossible is possible and now she’s over the moon to be champion and going to WrestleMania.
Cole says she’s going to have her work cut out for her and introduces Bianca Belair.
She says she and IYO have never seen eye to eye but she’s excited for the both of them to go to WrestleMania together. She says she wasn’t planning on making anything happen last week and she’s apologized to Rhea Ripley but if she thought she could put hands on her without consequences, she doesn’t know her at all, and now she’s focusing on WrestleMania—
Enter Rhea Ripley, as Michael Cole gets the hell out of dodge.
She talks her way down the ramp and asks Bianca why she got involved last week and she doesn’t like any of Bianca’s answers. She accuses her of being scared of her and says there was no reason for her to be at ringside and she should have focused on handling her own business with Naomi and Jade Cargill.
Belair will be real, Rhea’s engaging in a defense mechanism because she knows she can’t beat IYO and she’s just trying to blame her. IYO tries to get between them and Ripley piefaces her. SKY tries again and this time Bianca piefaces her, and now the champion has had enough and hauls off and slaps the both of them full force in the jaw!
Seth Rollins makes his entrance to send us to break.
Back from commercial, we see Stephanie Vaquer and Giulia in the crowd.
CM Punk vs. Seth Rollins (Steel Cage Match)
Punk hammering punches out the gates, Rollins backs him into the opposite corner, each man denying the other the opportunity to ram him into the steel cage! Seth tears CM’s shirt off, jabs in return, trading right hands with abandon! Into big open-hand strikes, Punk ducks under, Rollins ducks under, Seth blasts him with hard right hands!
Pace slows as the punches continue, CM staggered hard onto one knee! Rising knee countered, buckle bomb into the cage wall and we go to break!
Back from commercial, Rollins opens the door and he’s happy to let Punk walk on out if he wants, but CM ain’t having it! Flipping Seth the bird, right hands, front kick counters, powerbomb lift, Punk slips out and grinds him into the cage wall! Knee to the back of the head, CM returns the favor of opening the door and Rollins returns the birds!
Elbow drops on elbow drops, CM off the second, diving elbow connects! A second elbow, a third… STILL NO! CM Punk climbs all the way to the top of the cage, Seth rolls and gets to his feet! Rollins climbs up top with him, trading punches, Seth slips but catches himself and stands on the top rope!
Rollins pulls him down… SUPERPLEX! Trading big right hands from their knees and to their feet, underhooks countered… GO TO SLEEP BUT ROLLINS KICKS OUT! Getting under him again, this time Rollins counters the Go to Sleep into an STS! Punk breaks his grip and reverses into the Anaconda Vise!
Seth flailing, he gets the ropes but it means nothing! Knees to Punk’s back, gouging his eyes and he finally breaks free and hits a Blackout! PUNK WON’T STAY DOWN! Rollins trying to figure out his next move, he goes up to the second, Punk trips him into the turnbuckles and hits the Go to Sleep… STILL ROLLINS KICKS OUT!
CM hits his own Blackout for his own nearfall, he approaches the door and Seth calls him back and tells him if he wants it he has to take it and earn it! Punk clobbers him, fireman’s carry, Rollins slips out, fireman’s carry, Go to Sleep of his own sets up another Blackout! Rolling him over… CM PUNK KICKS OUT!
Seth goes up to the second, Punk unmoving… BLACKOUT OFF THE SECOND BUT ROLLINS DOESN’T GO FOR THE COVER! The crowd gets excited… ROMAN REIGNS IS HERE AND HE PULLS SETH OUT OF THE DAMN CAGE! THAT’S THE FINISH!
Seth Rollins wins by escaping the cage.
Post-match, Roman hits a Superman Punch and a spear on Seth! He throws Rollins knee-first into the steel steps and leans against the barricade like an ornery cat! ROMAN HITS A BLACKOUT OF HIS OWN OFF OF THE STEPS! He drags Seth over to the steps and jaws at him more, measuring his pace… ADAM PEARCE AND REFEREES AND ROAD AGENTS ARRIVE TO STOP HIM FROM ADVANCING!
We see Paul Heyman checking on CM Punk in the ring and Roman Reigns casts a curious eye on his Wiseman. He chuckles to himself as he goes into the cage and waylays Punk, throwing him into the cage wall back and forth to set up a spear!
Reigns stands tall and throws his one up while both Punk and Rollins writhe in agony.
That’s the show, folks.
