Chapter 1: What were the highlights of Roman Reigns' return?
Jey Uso got choked out. EO Sky is slapping people. AJ Styles is gonna be on this show. Cody Rhodes has had enough, but put it all aside. Because the Tribal Chief is back. I'm Sam Roberts. That's Megan Morant. This is the Raw Recap brought to you by WWE and Fanatics.
Oh mein Gott, Megan, Megan, Megan, es war so viel zu tun heute, aber der Tribal Chief Roman Reigns, von allen Leuten, ist zurückgekommen. Du und ich sitzen hier, in der Not Sam Studio, watching this classic steel cage match.
Und es war ein Klassiker.
Unglaublich und wir kommen zu allem. Glaub mir, wenn ich es dir sage. Nobody's getting shortchanged here, but we gotta start with the guy who's putting food on all of our tables. Because he reminded us of that tonight. As that match was reaching its peak when both men had nothing left to give. And we wondered, what gives?
There was a tight shot on Seth Rollins' face and you could hear Madison Square Garden reacting. And you and I are asking, who is it? Who's coming out? Who's coming out? And then those big Samoan arms wrapped around the neck of Seth Rollins, pulling him outside the cage. And we find out, your tribal chief, our tribal chief, the only tribal chief, Roman Reigns. 40 Tage bis WrestleMania.
Und wir fragten uns, wie der Tribal-Chef das macht.
make his way down this road to Las Vegas? How does the tribal chief insert himself here? And when that crowd at Madison Square Garden erupted in the way that they did, that is only for one guy, and that is Roman Reigns.
Wow.
Er spricht über deinen tribalen Chef, Roman Reigns. Roman Reigns kam zurück. Und es ist so lustig, dass du sagst, dass du richtig bist. 39 Tage bis WrestleMania. Und das Lustige ist, und wir sprechen auch über Not Sam Wrestling, dass es diese Konversation gab, die mit Wrestling-Fans ging. that we were saying, you know what? There's so much going on in WWE right now. There's so much happening.

Chapter 2: How did the steel cage match between Seth Rollins and CM Punk unfold?
Das ist der Art von Reaktion, die du bekommst, was du von Andrew Schultz bekommst.
Andrew Schultz, der es alle gesehen hat. Dieser Kerl hat die Beine gerutscht. Siehst du, wer auf seinen Comedy-Shows zeigt? Es ist verrückt. Und er schaut. At Roman Reigns and going, he's incredible. Everything that that man, that superstar did on Monday Night Raw. was a reminder of why he's the tribal chief for everybody. And that's the thing about Roman Reigns. He knows exactly what he's doing.
He doesn't do things to just play into his own ego. He doesn't show you everything that he's capable of. He waits until the moments that it matters. And he showed up in Madison Square Garden, waited for this moment that it mattered, and reminded everyone Why he is head and shoulders above anybody else in wrestling right now. And I'm sorry if I'm fangirling out.
You are fangirling out.
It's what's going to happen when the tribal chief comes back. And especially comes back like this. This wasn't, I mean, it wasn't even the pomp and circumstance. It wasn't the music. This wasn't aura Roman.
No, it was not. And usually when you get the Roman return, like we saw at Bad Blood.
Summerslam.
Oh, oh, oh.
Who's Roman upset with?

Chapter 3: What message did Roman Reigns send to Paul Heyman and CM Punk?
Not at all.
Not even in the slightest.
Roman Reigns was coming from a place where it was, how dare you? Not that you tried to beat me. That you tried to take this away from me. That you tried to take me away from this. And you thought you had me? Rollins went on Raw.
und beklagt hat, dass er Roman Reigns aus der WrestleMania-Konversation genommen hat, dass er ihn so verletzt hat, dass Roman nicht mehr für WrestleMania zurückkehren würde. Und dann diese kalten Arme der Gerechtigkeit, die den Nacken von Seth Rollins umdrehen, ihn auf den Boden drücken. Und wenn es, übrigens, wenn es nicht für pesky Adam Pearce und den pesky Hurricane war,
Seth Rollins Karriere würde wahrscheinlich heute Abend vorbei sein.
Es könnte sein. Ich weiß nicht, was Roman mit Seths Kopf, Sandwich zwischen Romans Fuß oder Fist oder was auch immer, oder voller Körper, und dieser Set von steilen Stühlen. Aber dann... Es wird juicier.
Was unglaublich ist, weil der Match alleine, die Anzahl der Abfalle... Wir kommen da hin. We'll get there. We'll get there. The steel cage match was just so beautiful.
But that's what it was though. It was one for the ages.
Yes.

Chapter 4: How is Cody Rhodes' journey in WWE evolving?
This is the world's most famous arena and tonight it belongs to me. I set all this up for you. This is my sandpit that you're playing in and never get confused about it.
My gut reaction tells me that what Roman did to CM Punk today was a message to Paul Heyman.
Me too. It's just how I feel. And Roman Reigns is at the point now where Paul, you could get it too.
Yeah. Yeah. Ich meine, da war ein Moment da, wo ich sagte, er könnte Paul Heyman spüren.
Weil hier ist die Unterschiede. Hier ist die Unterschiede mit Roman Reigns als mit jemand anderem, mit dem Paul Heyman jemals war. Die anderen Leute, mit denen Paul Heyman ist, sind Paul Heyman-Männer. Paul Heyman ist ein Roman Reigns-Männer. Nicht andersherum.
Korrekt.
Und an einem Punkt, glaube ich, hat Roman Reigns gemerkt, okay, es gab einen Zeitpunkt, wo es war wie, weißt du was, ich muss meine Wunden lecken. Gotta get my family back together. Gotta get the bloodline back together. I'm coming from a deficit. But now, I think Roman Reigns is done apologizing. I think Roman Reigns is done with the... Well, you know, you got this guy upset.
You got that guy upset. Your family doesn't... We put all the pieces back together. We had a successful War Games. Everything went fine. Now... No more games. No more apologies. No more making sure everybody's fine. The Tribal Chief is back. And the Tribal Chief is back to get what's his, which is everything.
Paul Heyman, you saw what Seth Rollins did to me at Royal Rumble. Look what I did to him tonight at Madison Square Garden. You're going to talk to your former Paul Heyman guy, CM Punk. I'm going to send you a message as well. And he definitely did. Now, I don't think everything is hunky-dory between CM Punk and Roman Reigns, just to set the record straight.

Chapter 5: What are the implications of Bianca Belair's interaction with Rhea Ripley?
And we get to see this drone shot of Punk and Rollins. I don't know if we've ever seen that before, live, in action.
Captured up there.
Yes, and they're hanging on for life. And here's CM Punk, who is no spring chicken. And Seth freaking Rollins, who has had a history of back issues. And both of them coming down off the cage.
Ein Superplex, wenn man sich über den Topf eines Stahlkastens befindet, ist verrückt für jeden. Ja. Aber du hast recht, CM Punk muss das nicht tun. Nein. Er muss das nicht tun. Er muss das nicht tun. Er muss das nicht tun. Nein. Aber er macht es, weil er für diese Sache kämpft. Und es war auch interessant, weil sie beide den WrestleMania-Sign sahen.
Aber es gab keine WrestleMania-Implikationen in diesem Match.
Und das ist, was ich immer gesagt habe. Einer von euch sollte einfach rausgehen und den Dub nehmen.
Aber sie wollten nicht den Dub nehmen. Der Grund, warum Seth, glaube ich, immer wieder an das WrestleMania-Sign geschaut hat, war, weil er sagte, meine einzige Grund, um gerade zu sein, ist, dass man sicher ist, dass man zu beschädigt ist, um irgendwas an WrestleMania zu tun. Ich denke, er war an das WrestleMania-Sign geschaut.
Er war so, guck, ich habe schon Roman aus WrestleMania bekommen. Jetzt muss ich Punk aus WrestleMania kommen. So hat er gedacht.
Yeah, he took the slammy for the most wrong person of the year tonight. But yeah, interesting that everybody who's ever looked at that WrestleMania sign has always looked at it with the intent of what I am going to be doing there. I think Seth Rollins might be the first person staring at that WrestleMania sign envisioning somebody not being there.

Chapter 6: What merchandise collaborations are being highlighted in WWE?
I love when Cody, when he gets some dirt under his fingernails.
I love when he... Fired up Cody Rhodes.
The best.
And I feel like each and every week we've seen Cody Rhodes get more and more fired up, right? It was like, you know, with Kevin Owens, we saw a different side of Cody. And then, I mean, it's gone to a completely different level.
That's what happens when one of the top stars in hip hop punches you in the eye. Ich vermute, dass du ihm den roten Bein gegeben hast. Ich weiß es nicht sicher. Es gab viel Schrecken.
Es gab viel Internet-Schrecken darüber.
Ja, ich wollte etwas darüber sagen. Aber es war interessant für mich, dass Cody die Tatsache brachte, dass John Cena nicht hier ist. Er sagte, wir sind in Madison Square Garden. Das ist das Epizenter. Und John Cena ist nicht hier. Und sofort gehe ich zurück zu WrestleMania 28. Mhm. When John Cena was the champion.
But somebody was coming in from a previous generation who thought he was a bigger star than John Cena. And John Cena was at every single Raw. And this other person was not. This other person showed up whenever he could show up. Are you talking about being a part-timer? I would never say that. I would never say those words.
But to the point where this human being had a shirt that said, I bring it and John Cena made one that said via satellite. I'm talking about a young John Cena in a rivalry with The Rock. This is the spirit. And it's a different scenario, but this is the spirit that I'm getting from Cody Rhodes and Und ein älterer John Cena. Cody Rhodes hat keinen Interesse daran, den Ring zu küssen.
