Follow along with our live WWE Raw review. We’re finally on the Road to WrestleMania!

Previously on WWE Raw, everyone forgot there was a pay per view coming up. But because it was Raw 25, literally everyone with a pulse who hasn’t burned all their bridges showed up. Vince ate a Stunner, D-X stood tall over The Revival, and The Undertaker said some stuff. Basically, it was a lousy episode, but a great special – unless you were in the Manhattan Center.

Tonight, the fallout from the Royal Rumble is upon us as we officially begin the drive on the Road to WrestleMania. The Rumble was overall a smashing success, especially the two 30-superstar Royal Rumble matches themselves. On the men’s side, Shinsuke Nakamura outlasted the field, punching his ticket for WrestleMania against the opponent of his choice – AJ Styles. Well, that’s a SmackDown story, isn’t it?

The Women’s Royal Rumble Match – the first in history – was won by a Raw superstar, though. Asuka continued her dominance over the entire WWE to win the momentous match. But her celebration was short-lived, as she was interrupted by “Rowdy” Ronda Rousey. The MMA standout has signed a full-time contract with WWE, but beyond that, no one knows what her plan is. Will Rousey explain herself tonight on Raw?

Brock Lesnar survived his triple threat match at the Rumble, so he’s still Universal Champion. But with Elimination Chamber rapidly approaching, it’s time for Raw to get its major WrestleMania attraction in order. Will Lesnar have any input? What about Braun Strowman, who wasn’t a part of the decision?

After the Royal Rumble, there’s new Raw Tag Team Champions. Cesaro and Sheamus defeated Seth Rollins and Jason Jordan – well, they defeated Seth Rollins. Jordan was less than a non-factor following a possible head injury early in the match. The Gold Blooded superstar valiantly tried to continue and tagged himself in, but immediately tagged out when he realized he was in no shape to compete. With Rollins left to fend for himself, he didn’t stand a chance against such a dominant tag team. What’s next for the tag team division on Raw?
