Raw 11.03.2024
Whoo-hoo! The RadiantGame Team is now in our city - Houston, Texas! Today should be a great show because we will see Seth Rollins, who has big issues with the stubborn Drew McIntyre. Cody Rhodes will probably tell us something about his big slap to The Rock, and The Bloodline might get involved to avenge the elders of their family. In a massive gauntlet match, we’ll find out who will face Gunther for his title at WrestleMania. Plus, Becky Lynch will face Liv Morgan to take her out of the running. Let’s get it started!
Drew Gets Seth Rollins' Attention
As per tradition, the show opens with the Scottish Warrior. Drew McIntyre must’ve been listening to The Rock’s words about Seth, calling Rollins a selfish junkie who can’t focus on one main event—now he has two! I feel like Drew is jealous that Rollins isn't paying attention to him. The arena, as usual, chants "CM Punk," even though he’s irrelevant right now. Drew's speech touches on everyone: Cody, Seth, Roman, and even The Rock. That’s when the champion, Seth Rollins, makes his entrance, giving Drew the attention he craves.

Seth even dares Drew to hit him with a Claymore, but as expected, McIntyre won’t do it without a good opportunity. The champion does his best to provoke Drew, but Drew just wants to talk. He admits Seth was right when he said that Drew needs to get rid of The Bloodline if he wants any chance at winning a title match. Drew tries to convince the crowd that he cares about Raw and promises to save the show once he’s champion. Of course, both men take shots at CM Punk—who they clearly hate.
Seth hits Drew with the truth: Drew complains about The Bloodline ruining his chances but is he secretly an honorary member? After all, he won his match against Cody and Jey only with Bloodline’s help. Seth’s sure Drew wouldn’t mind if The Bloodline interfered in their match, helping him win the title and stand tall alongside Roman and The Rock. Wow, if Drew joins The Bloodline as champion after WrestleMania, it could be one of the biggest moments of the year.
Seth promises that after he and Cody handle The Bloodline on Day Two, he’ll end Drew like he always does when they fight for the title—he’ll stomp his head into the canvas, and the last thing Drew will hear is the crowd singing Seth’s song. Knowing Drew’s temper, I thought he’d attack Seth, but he swears he won’t be provoked. But we all know Drew is a mastermind, and when Seth said, "In the long list of threats I have, Drew McIntyre is at the bottom," Drew’s pride couldn’t take it anymore.
Though we didn’t get a fight today, it’s clear WrestleMania will be something else. Seth faces his hardest match ever on Day One—Roman, who destroyed him years ago, and The Rock, a dangerous man in his own right. Even if Seth wins, will he be 100% for Day Two? It could be the perfect opportunity for Drew to strike.
Liv Morgan Fights for a Spot at WrestleMania
This match feels a little unnecessary for Becky Lynch, especially since her real threat is Nia Jax. But for Liv Morgan, it makes sense—if she somehow beats Lynch, it could mean a shot at a spot in the women’s title match at WrestleMania. We can’t forget about Jax, who’s unlikely to stay quiet. The match progresses smoothly, with neither Becky nor Liv dominating. Good exchanges, a few key moments outside the ring, and both women showing off their movesets. Liv has some beautiful Codebreakers off the ropes, nearly securing victory. The turning point came on the apron, where Liv powerbombed Becky onto the floor, but somehow, The Man still kicked out.
Raw 11.03.2024 - Very cute girl Liv Morgan.
Becky’s got the advantage of an easier finisher to execute, and despite taking a lot of damage, she managed to hit the Manhandle Slam. However, Liv wisely rolled out of the ring, preventing the pinfall. Both women traded submission holds, neither able to get the win, and Liv’s Oblivion nearly sealed the deal—except Becky rolled out just like Liv had done earlier.
Raw 11.03.2024 - Massive superplex from the Man.
In the end, the third rope played a cruel joke on Liv. After a strong series of moves, she decided to go high-risk, only to get caught by a second Manhandle Slam, which gave Becky the win. A sad outcome for Morgan, but she gave us a fantastic match. Could she challenge Rhea Ripley next?
Raw 11.03.2024 - I remember the day when these two girls were friend and even champions.
Speaking of the champ—Rhea is here! Confident, sexy, and impressive as ever. Liv could only yell at her ex-friend in powerless anger as Rhea's focus shifted entirely to Becky. Rhea asked Lynch why she keeps taking on all these fights. Becky says it's for the people, for her family. But Rhea has another opinion: "I think, and deep down you know, I’m better than you, Becky."
Ouch. Painful words, and they might be true. Becky counters, claiming she’s alone against the world, and if the world can’t beat her, what chance does Mami have? Bold words from the contender, but as I’ve said before, words are just words—Mami is on top.
Great Announcement from WWE GMs
Both Nick Aldis and Adam Pearce had a big announcement regarding the tag team titles. The Judgment Day will defend their titles against five other teams in a six-pack ladder match! Over the next few weeks, all of WWE’s tag teams will have a chance to qualify for this gigantic match. This sounds awesome for us, but it’s bad news for the champions, who could lose their titles by accident!
LeRae Changes Her Character
Ivy Nile and Maxxine will try to teach a lesson in good manners to Candice LeRae and Indi Hartwell tonight. I have no doubts about Ivy’s abilities, but I was expecting some bad moves from Maxxine, who is weak and not great in the ring. LeRae insulted Maxxine as much as she could, nearly causing Maxxine to lose her temper, which would have allowed Indi to pin her. It was a strange match where Candice showed us her mad attitude and a new evil side.
Raw 11.03.2024 - The best way to win the match is to bully your opponent verbally.
Judgment Day is Furious
As expected, Damian Priest and Finn Bálor stormed into the GM’s office to find out whose idea it was to put them in such poor circumstances for their title defense. Adam Pearce and Nick Aldis tried to avoid giving a clear answer, but we eventually learned that the mastermind behind the idea was none other than The Miz and R-Truth. Damian immediately demanded a match with them tonight, but Miz and Ron weren’t supposed to be here. But you know R-Truth, right? As usual, he messed up and came to the arena, so tonight he’s in for a serious beatdown by the current tag team champions. Poor guy.
Cody's Big Interview
The first big question: Why did Cody slap his boss, The Rock? Cody’s response: "It feels great to slap your boss, right?" The Rock was a childhood idol for Cody, and Cody believes that The Rock understands why the slap happened.
Raw 11.03.2024 - Very emotional interview with American Nightmare.
Next question: "Why did you choose Seth Rollins to help you on Day One? Seth was the last person to actually beat Roman one-on-one many years ago, despite the DQ and all the chaos. Could it be Seth finishing the story, not you?" Cody’s response was simple—people change. He reminded everyone of the time when Michael Cole was sitting in a plexiglass box, and how the man whose throne Cody once destroyed is now one of his closest allies. He even teamed up with Jey Uso. Cody added that this isn’t just his story anymore—it’s the story of all these people, his friends, and his mother. That moment was so emotional that Cody even teared up.
Raw 11.03.2024 - Do you trust that Cody Rhodes will be able to finnish history on WrestleMania?
Cody declared, "At WrestleMania, Michael, you can tell the whole world that Rhodes is now your Universal Champion and he finished his story!" A huge moment, but as I always ask—what happens when the story ends?
Never Forget the Irresistible Force
Backstage, Becky and Liv met after their match and shook hands, showing respect for each other. Remember when I said Nia wouldn’t stay quiet? She didn’t. Nia Jax mercilessly attacked both Lynch and Morgan, sending a strong message. But what has she really done to herself? Now Liv and Becky will unite to take her down, clearing Becky’s path to her WrestleMania match.
Women's Tag Team Championship - Kabuki Warriors vs. Zoey Stark and Shayna Baszler
A long-awaited match between these two teams: the rough power and violence from the challengers against the long-term tag team synergy of the champions. I mentioned before that Stark has a history with Iyo Sky—in NXT, they were also tag team champions. Now, destiny brings them together once again. Stark showcased her usual great athleticism and dominance, but the Kabuki Warriors' exceptional tag team maneuvers slowed the challengers down.
Raw 11.03.2024 - Zoey becomes better with every week. i am sure she will be future champion one day.
We witnessed a fantastic match with the momentum shifting between the two teams throughout. Zoey stood out with her impressive performance, and the titles should have gone to the challengers after the Z-360 and a knee to the face, but Asuka saved her partner just in time. I thought that was the biggest moment, but Shayna managed to lock Kairi into her signature submission move. However, the match didn’t end cleanly. Dakota Kai caused a major distraction to Baszler, which led to Kairi landing the insane elbow for the win. The numbers game gave the champions just enough time to retain their titles.
Raw 11.03.2024 - The moment of distraction when Kai proves that she was the brain of Damage CTRL.
Damian Priest vs. R-Truth
The Punisher of The Judgment Day finally got his chance to smash R-Truth for everything he's done. Without hesitation, Damian started the match by leveling Truth with a forearm before the bell even rang. I saw slim chances for Ron to survive this, but if things went really wrong, he had backup. Maybe DIY would help their buddy—and they did! They came down to the ring to cheer for R-Truth.
Raw 11.03.2024 - I think that Priest was very close to tap out to R-Truth in this match.
It’s rare to see The Judgment Day outnumbered, but Regeneration X came to even the odds. Thanks, R-Truth, for treating us to a full set of legendary John Cena moves, ending with an Attitude Adjustment! But R-Truth isn’t Cena, so Priest managed to kick out of this legendary finnishing move. Immediately, Truth locked Priest in an STF, and for a moment, it looked like Damian might tap out. But then The Judgment Day attacked DIY, distracting R-Truth, which allowed Priest to hit South of Heaven for the victory. Senior Money in the Bank surprisingly came close to losing, but Damian ultimately prevailed.
What's Next for Jey Uso?
Jey Uso knows how to set the crowd on fire. People love him, despite his recent losses in the ring. The obvious topic for his promo: his brother, Jimmy Uso. Jey came to Raw for a fresh start, to break free from the Bloodline, but they still follow him even here. As I’ve said before, brother versus brother at WrestleMania sounds perfect, but I fear Roman won’t allow it to happen. He needs the Bloodline united for WrestleMania.
Raw 11.03.2024 - Brother vs brother, blood vs blood, Uso vs Uso on WrestleMania.
Gunther: 640 Days as Champion
Today is a monumental day—our Ring General has held the title longer than any superstar ever has. A proud, tough, and honest champion in WWE’s modern era. Gunther fights for his legacy, and he’s likely making history as one of the greatest champions of all time. His message to his competitors was direct: "Whoever wins this match—good luck."
Gauntlet Match for a Shot at Gunther at WrestleMania
If I understand correctly, all the competitors in this match—except Bronson Reed—have been Intercontinental Champions before. They’ve all faced Gunther, and all have fallen before him. Maybe tonight, one of them will get a fresh start and rewrite the story of this prestigious title. Personally, I believe Gunther should already be moving on to bigger titles. He has the knowledge, power, and dignity to be an even greater champion than Intercontinental. Still, we should acknowledge that he has made this title the most prestigious in WWE today. Sorry, Tribal Chief, but Gunther has defended his title more often and with greater intensity in recent years. The match kicked off with Ricochet, the man who lost the title to Gunther 640 days ago, facing off against The Judgment Day’s JD McDonagh. I don’t think either of them is in the best condition to win this gauntlet. My personal picks are Reed, Gable, or Zayn. Of course, it’s notoriously difficult to win a gauntlet match when you’re one of the first two competitors. Could today be a historic exception?
Raw 11.03.2024 - Great collison of two super tallanted superstars.
Ricochet looked rusty, while JD dominated most of their bout. I was impressed by JD’s offensive skills, especially when he hit a beautiful and rare brainbuster. These two know each other well and delivered a great performance together. The hard-hitting action spilled outside the ring, with both men using the ring post and apron to inflict serious damage. Despite the beatdown, Ricochet managed to slay JD with a 450 splash. It’s good news for McDonagh, though—imagine what Gunther would’ve done to him if they faced off.
Raw 11.03.2024 - Big Bronson manhandle Ricochet in several minutes.
Next up was Bronson Reed, one of the favorites to win this match. Ricochet tried everything he could, but it was no surprise when Reed ended his night with a Tsunami splash. Poor Samantha Irvin had to announce that her husband had been eliminated!
Raw 11.03.2024 - Reed could not forgive Zayn for his loss.
Then came Sami Zayn, armed with his most dangerous weapon—his belief in himself. Could this faith carry him through three opponents tonight? Against Reed, Sami could only hope to survive, avoiding close contact and trying to make Reed miss his high-impact moves. A few Helluva Kicks might do the trick, but first, Sami had to get the big man in position. Surprisingly, Sami eliminated Reed with a sunset flip bomb—not his signature move, but effective nonetheless. Reed, frustrated, attacked Sami post-match with another devastating Tsunami, leaving the Canadian in bad shape.
Raw 11.03.2024 - Nothing has changed for Shinsuke since last week.
Next in line was Shinsuke Nakamura, who clearly enjoyed Sami’s weakened state. Nakamura tried to end things quickly with a Kinshasa, but Sami refused to give up. After Shinsuke failed to finish the match early, I felt confident that Sami would win—he knows how to beat Nakamura, as we saw just last week. Despite Nakamura’s signature strikes, one well-timed Helluva Kick was enough to end his night. It was a sad, but fitting conclusion.
Raw 11.03.2024 - Chad suffers from nasty landing against steel steps.
Finally, we had Chad Gable, the most motivated participant of the gauntlet. He’s an honorable man, even helping Sami to his feet to ensure a fair fight. But after two grueling matches, it seemed like this should be easy for Chad. Sami was exhausted, and Chad has been on a winning streak lately. Personally, I think Gable deserved to win and secure his WrestleMania spot.
Raw 11.03.2024 -I can say that Gable is one of the most talented superstars in today's roster.
Chad came close to victory when he locked in the ankle lock, nearly forcing Sami to tap out. At that moment, I thought this was the end for Gable—Sami’s indomitable spirit would carry him through once again. Sure enough, Sami missed a Helluva Kick and found himself back in the ankle lock. Incredibly, he refused to submit, showing resilience that even Gunther would struggle to match. With one leg, Sami managed to land another Helluva Kick, but Gable kicked out and nearly pinned him in return.
Raw 11.03.2024 - Chad never was so close to ge his spot on WrestleMania before.
This match was tense, nerve-wracking, and kept me guessing who would come out on top. Bloodied and battered, Gable delivered a Chaos Theory suplex and locked in the ankle lock once more. This should have been the end, but Sami rolled through and somehow pinned Gable. Wow, that was a truly shocking ending. It’s frustrating for Gable, and for any realistic WWE fan, to see Sami survive the kind of punishment that no top superstar could withstand. Now he moves on to face Gunther.
Raw 11.03.2024 - Sami is sorry for taking over Chad's moment.
At least there was a small moment of respect—both men showed each other honor after the match. And in a "sweet" moment to end the night, Gunther appeared, smiling as he looked at his future opponent.
Final Thoughts and Ranking
Overall, this was an impressive and captivating show. We got an unexpected announcement for the tag team titles, and I really thought Zoey Stark and Shayna Baszler had a chance to win, but today wasn’t their night. Becky Lynch secured a clean victory over Liv Morgan, which was a huge statement for Mami. I was genuinely surprised by that win because I expected Nia Jax to interfere and spoil the match.
Cody Rhodes continues to win the audience’s love, and it feels like his final road to completing his story is nearing its end. Then there’s the gauntlet match—while I’m not usually a fan of this type of match, it delivered some great moments. The final round had me on edge, especially when Chad Gable came within a fingertip of victory. Personally, I think the ending was a bit disappointing, and Gable should have won, but now we have Sami Zayn set to go one-on-one with Gunther. I fear Sami might actually win at WrestleMania just because of his unshakable belief in himself. If that happens, at least it opens the door for the Ring General to pursue bigger titles.
I’ll give this show an 8/10. The matches were great, and we got a few intriguing announcements from the GMs and Jey Uso. Looking forward to SmackDown, where the stakes are higher than ever!
