WWE RAW Results: Unhinged superstar attacks commentators; Seth Rollins starts new faction after heel turn; controversial return (4/21/25)

WWE RAW after WrestleMania kicked off with a recap of the two-night special event before John Cena showed up to greet the fans. Cena had the ring announcer read off a card that said he was the Greatest of All Time and was gracing Las Vegas with his presence for the last time.

Cena said that the winners write history and that the fans owed him an apology. He then added that the crowd meant nothing to him, and the fans started chanting: "A** hole!" He said that he had 27 appearances left on his contract, but it doesn't say that he has to wrestle.

When that number hits zero, Cena will retire with the contract, and we might get a new title, but it won't have the history that the current title has. Cody Rhodes was our last hope, but Cena outclassed, outshone, and outwrestled him last night and destroyed our champ.

Cena added that no one else can match up to him before holding up the title so that the fans can take pictures of the "Last Real Champ". Randy Orton showed up with an RKO out of nowhere and took the champ down before holding the WWE Championship up and posing with it as RAW moved on.
