This week’s Raw featured the fallout from the Royal Rumble. Plus, Stephanie McMahon and Triple H confronted Seth Rollins about his actions at TakeOver: San Antonio.
Previously on WWE Raw, it was the Royal Rumble. And a guy from SmackDown Live won the thing. Whoops!
Outside of the Rumble itself, most of the card featured matches between Raw superstars. There were a pair of title changes Sunday. Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson finally captured the Raw Tag Team Championships from Sheamus and Cesaro. Meanwhile, Neville defeated Rich Swann to become Cruiserweight Champion.
The major titles stayed put, however. Kevin Owens defeated Roman Reigns to retain the Universal Championship. Of course, he got an assist from Braun Strowman. And Bayley fell short in her quest to win the Women’s Championship from Charlotte Flair.
Tonight, Stephanie McMahon promised to deal with Seth Rollins. The Architect interrupted NXT TakeOver: San Antonio on Saturday night to call out Triple H. The Game responded by calling out security. Stephanie then banned Rollins from the arena for the Royal Rumble. How did this situation play out?

In addition, more fallout from the Royal Rumble dominated the show. After Strowman assaulted Reigns, the Mountain of a Man had a strong showing in the Rumble. But he was already eliminated by the time the Big Dog came out at number 30, so their paths have yet to cross.
Let’s not forget about Goldberg and Brock Lesnar. Once again, Lesnar was made to look like a fool by Goldberg in the Rumble. Goldberg quickly tossed Lesnar, but was eliminated by the Undertaker after a brief confrontation. Did any of the three legends make an appearance tonight?
