Monday Night Raw Review 14.4.2026.

Written By Patrick O'malley.

Roman Opens Up The Show.

Roman Reigns opened up the show, by giving Cm punk a scolding reminder of who Punk is, and who Roman is. This was absolutely perfect, and the fact it was filmed through a cinematic lense just added to the drama.

Superstars Seen Showing Up To Raw.

Charlotte Flair. Stephanie Vaquer, and. Gunther, were all seen showing up to work, before there Matches later on.

Brock Lesnar Contract Signing.

Adam Pearce, and. HHH stood in the ring, and before Adam could get a word out, he was interrupted by Paul Heyman. Paul brought out all of his normal jargon, promoting his client Brock Lesnar. Brock came out and signed the contract. Oba signed later on. I hated this. It felt very short, and then there's my personal feelings towards Brock Lesnar. This did nothing for me.

Ishowspeed Is In Training.

What do you get if you add The Vision. Ishowspeed, and The Rocky Films, well if your answer was total nonsense, then your right, because this was comically bad. Plus if you take a look at the layout of the venue, then you can tell that this was filmed before NXT Stand And Deliver last Saturday.

Charlotte Flair vs Lyra Valkyria.

This was good, I liked the physicality, and the overall feel of the Match. I've not been the biggest fan of Charlotte Flairs work of late, but this was good. Her and Lyra have decent chemistry, and this worked. Lyra got the win thanks to Bayley.

LA Knight And The Uso's Segment.

I loved this segment, because LA Knight had me howling with laughter. Sending the MFTS back to factory settings, now that's classic. The Uso's found this quite funny deep down.

Stephanie Vaquer Segment.

Stephanie tried to get a word out when she was due to be interviewed by Kathy Kelley, that was until Liv Morgan came out from nowhere, and battered her with the inclusion of Your Mum insults. This feud hasn't been for me, and I think that after Mania, we need to move on from this. Also if you love Liv Morgan, just wait until you see what came later on, because it was certainly a thing.

I Love Heel Asuka.

Am I the only person who loves Heel Asuka. Her vs Iyo Sky at a later date, just makes sense.

The Usos' And LA Knight vs The MFT's.

I thought this was a lot of fun. I get that why this wasn't for everyone, but I had fun watching it. The physicality was fairly solid, and both teams had good chemistry. Also I'm excited to see Tama Tonga as a singles guy. LA Knight got the win with his blunt force trauma finisher, after Tama just showed up from out of nowhere, and had a stairing contest with Solo. First one blink buys the other a PS5.

Gunther Segment.

I loved this. It did the job that it was meant to do. Gunther came out, and Seth instantly attacked him. He took to the mic, and spoke in his pure desperation mode, as he asked Gunther why attacked him. Gunther then spoke facts about why Seth Partnered up with Paul Heyman. This was short, and sweet, because it needed to be.

Iyo Sky vs Kairi Sane.

Kairi Sane, beat. Iyo Sky in a flat TV Match, after a load of shenanigans from. Asuka. Rhea Ripley, and. Jade Cargill. Iyo deserves so much better than this.

Adam Pearce Segment.

Adam Pearce was seen talking backstage with everyone's favourite Crybaby Latino Lover Dominik Mysterio, and he talked some hard truths. Grow Up Dom.

Oba Signs His Contract.

I loved this segment. Oba had a fantastic promo dual with Heyman was fantastic. I could sit here and wax lyrical about this segment, but if i'm honest it wouldn't give Oba Femi anymore hype. Pure magic.

Liv Morgan Music Video.

I despised this. It was like a Miley Cyrus wannabe, sounding like that God awful  Rebecca Black Friday song. I hated this beyond words. Liv, with all due respect Liv, please don't sing. This made me think of the times that i've murdered songs at kareoke.

Jevon Evans And Dragon Lee vs Rusev And JD Mcdonagh.

This actually worked. On paper this looked like a bad idea, but it actually worked. Jevon Evans is a star, and is my favourite for who's going to take the IC Championship this weekend. Jevon and Dragon got the win. I liked this.

Danhausen Segment.

Danhausen doing comedy with John Cena, don't toy with me WWE just book it, because this has me laughing already Like Kent Brockmen.

Roman Reigns And Cm Punk Segment.

This was the highlight of the show, but what else would you expect from these two. Roman asked the fans to acknowledge him, and just like that, out came Cm Punk. Punk walked through the fans, and stood on the announcers table. Punk spoke from an honest place, as the themes of envy, hate, and poor to riches, became the back bone for this go home segment before Sundays Mania main event, as Roman spoke about releventcy, and Punks connection with the fans. This led to Punk apologising for his outspoken ways, when he buried Roman after mentioning his dad. I loved this.

Overview Of WWE Monday Night Raw.

This weeks WWE Monday Night Raw was very flat for a go home show, before one of the biggest PLE's of the year, yes I liked some moments, but overall this was just fine, and that's not good enough.

This weeks WWE Monday Night Raw is a low 5/10.
