WWE RAW after WrestleMania Results: Bad Bunny and Cody Rhodes destroyed; Former champ returns - Winners, Recap, Grades and Highlights (April 3, 2023)

Triple H kicked off the RAW after WrestleMania, and after thanking the fans, the superstars, the staff, and the crew, he reassured the WWE Universe that nothing will change in the future of the company. He then welcomed the record-breaking Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns out to the ring.

Roman Reigns walked out with Heyman and Solo before Triple H shook their hands and walked backstage. As Roman celebrated in the ring, a fan held up a cheeky Roman Reigns vs. Snoop Dogg sign.

We got 'Roman sucks' chants from the crowd, and Reigns asked them to acknowledge him before Cody Rhodes made his entrance. Cody said that he couldn't believe he lost, but he agreed that Roman was the better competitor last night.

He still wanted a rematch since Roman barely scraped by with the win last night at WrestleMania 39. Heyman asked when he would like the rematch, Cody said that he wanted it tonight! Heyman replied with "no rematch, now or in the future" since they call the shots.

Cody said that he was in no mood for shenanigans and instead called for a tag team match against Roman and Solo. Heyman said that the challenge was accepted, but Cody's partner would have to be someone who fought at WrestleMania, and if they lost, the mystery partner would never get a title shot again.

Brock Lesnar walked out since he had already lost the right to challenge Roman and stepped into the ring! Cody was overjoyed, and The Bloodline retreated swiftly before things could get heated.
