WWE Raw at Madison Square Garden delivered in a big way—just as expected. Here’s a quick look at the key results and moments from the show:
Cody Rhodes and Stephanie McMahon kicked things off with a heated opening segment. Stephanie questioned Cody’s ability to defeat Randy Orton, while Cody leaned into the doubt and even thanked her for the added motivation.
The Vision captured the World Tag Team Championships in a chaotic match that also featured LA Knight and iShowSpeed.
Triple H made sure things didn’t get out of hand between Brock Lesnar and Oba Femi, stepping in before the two could come to blows in the ring.
Roman Reigns and CM Punk closed the show with no words—it was a straight-up brawl that saw Punk get the upperhand.
