Monday Night Raw TV report for 04/03/2023

Arena: Cypto.com Arena
City: Los Angeles, CA

Raw opens with a recap of WrestleMania.

Triple H comes to the ring. He wants to thank the performers, the staff, even the camera men. He then thanked the most important people in all of the WWE, the WWE Universe. He said that WWE is not going anywhere after the announcement of today’s sale and like it says in the beginning, then, now, together, forever.

Triple H then announces the Tribal Chief Roman Reigns and asks we acknowledge him.

After Roman asks Hollywood to acknowledge him, Cody Rhodes’ music hits. Cody comes to the ring holding his ribs. Cody says he just has one word. REMATCH! Heyman asks for the microphone and says when would you like this hypothetical rematch and Cody says tonight. Heyman says no rematch, not tonight and listed a bunch of dates in the future and repeatedly says no.

Cody then challenges Roman and Solo to a tag team match. Heyman says your challenge is accepted with two parameters: 1: Must be someone that wrestled this past weekend at WrestleMania and 2: Whoever walks down that ramp and tags with you and you lose they will never get a shot at Roman Reigns and the championship. So what do you want to talk about now, Cody?

Brock Lesnar’s music hits to a standing ovation and Heyman looks scared to death. Brock gets in the ring and shakes Cody’s hand and Roman and Solo back out of the ring.
