WWE Monday Night RAW Results: Unfortunate SHIELD return; top champ attacked backstage (April 14, 2025)

WWE RAW before WrestleMania kicked off with Gunther in the ring, being interviewed by Michael Cole. The WWE Heavyweight Champ was less interested in the interview than mouthing off at Jey Uso and calling him a 'piece of cr*p.'

The fans were chanting 'Yeet, ' and it made Gunther even angrier as the champ declared that he would beat Jey a fourth consecutive time and do what he did to Jimmy. Gunther added that he couldn't wait to call his mother and tell her how he beat the living hell out of Jey and retained the Heavyweight Championship.

Paul Heyman was chatting with his best friend CM Punk when Roman Reigns arrived at the arena. Reigns gave Heyman a stare and walked out to the ring as Paul followed but kept his distance.

Once in the ring, Roman ignored Paul as he held out a mic, and the OTC got a mic from the ringside crew instead. Roman asked Paul how the Wiseman could betray him, and Heyman stayed silent as the crowd chanted for CM Punk.

Paul finally spoke and said that it was not betrayal; he was just paying back a favor that he owed. Roman said that the favor was Paul's business, but somehow, the Tribal Chief has to pay the price, which is not something he can stand for.

Seth Rollins came out on RAW and said that Roman was finally getting the big picture, but it was too little, too late since Rollins would have to end him at WrestleMania. Rollins was sick of part-timers coming back and leeching off the hard work of stars like himself, who were keeping the company alive.

Seth added that favors were a choice and that Paul was choosing CM Punk over Roman Reigns. Roman said that Rollins was right, but he had also made his choice before attacking Seth and taking him out.

CM Punk was out next and attacked Roman before the two traded punches. Roman was sent over the ropes, and Punk went to check on Paul in the corner. It looked like Paul was trying to distract Punk as Roman set up the spear and hit it.

As Punk was taking a beating, Rollins came back with a chair and attacked Roman like he did back in the SHIELD days. After the brawl was over, Rollins stood tall in the ring as RAW went off the air.
