Backstage Segment
A bruised and battered CM Punk is walking backstage. He goes through the Gorilla Position and walks out onto the stage without music. Punk stands there and looks around. There are some boos for him. Punk kneels down and shouts, “It’s clobbering time!” Punk’s music plays, and he makes his full entrance.
CM Punk addresses his WrestleMania 42 defeat at the hands of Roman Reigns
CM Punk stands in the ring and says he’s been dealing with a lot of loss since October. While in Japan, his friend and MMA trainer, Duke Rufus, didn’t wake up. Then, in November, his Larry crossed the rainbow bridge. It seems like every two weeks, the WWE family has lost important people like Kerwin Silfies and others. Punk puts over everyone behind the scenes, calling them the real superstars behind the men. On April 1, his friend, Bo Luters, passed away. Punk also lost last night. The aforementioned losses sting more than losing his title. The people have helped him heal and get through the losses. Being the heavyweight champion gave him an anchor and a reason not to slow down, rather than being reduced to a puddle of tears. Punk thanks the crowd for helping him process the grief. They helped him get through the losses. They’ll help him get through his loss from last night as well.
Punk says he wasn’t even supposed to be World Heavyweight Champion. Punk survived Gunther and was cashed in by Seth Rollins. Punk thought it wasn’t bad to be a champion for three minutes at 46 years old. Punk could have stopped, but he stayed ready. Punk poured his heart and soul into this to entertain the people. Because he stayed ready, an opportunity arose. Rollins got hurt, and Punk won a No. 1 Contender’s Match. If Punk didn’t stay ready, they’d be YEETing with Jey Uso. The crowd boos Uso’s name. Punk stays ready because he doesn’t know when a championship opportunity will fall out of the sky. Punk is still the Best in the World and the baddest ass. Punk gave everything he had, but it wasn’t his night. Punk isn’t going to sulk or go on vacation. Punk will stay ready because you never know when a championship opportunity will fall out of the sky.
Undisputed WWE Champion “The American Nightmare” Cody Rhodes heads to the ring! Rhodes shows off a horrific black eye from his battle against Randy Orton at WrestleMania Saturday. Punk walks up to him to get a closer look at the gnarly eye. Punk jokingly asks if he went over his time. Rhodes tells him not to leave. This is Monday Night Raw. It’s Punk’s time. Rhodes says he might be incorrect in this assumption, but he was standing by with his peers. This wasn’t what he was expecting. Punk asks if Rhodes thought he was going to crash out. Rhodes says he was expecting a freak-out. Rhodes says he knows how Punk likes to handle things, but he’s buttoned up. This is not what he was expecting. Rhodes is glad that Vegas gave him the flowers he deserves.
Rhodes says he doesn’t know what he’s supposed to do. He’s standing here looking like a loser. Punk asks if Rhodes thinks he should be feeling like a loser. Punk says it’s cool. They’re friends. Punk doesn’t feel like a loser, and Rhodes isn’t, either. On Saturday, Rhodes beat a first ballot Hall of Famer. Rhodes beat a friend and mentor. Punk fought someone he hates. That’s easy to stomp him on his stupid face and make fun of his sweet pepper necklace. Rhodes won, and Punk lost. In a way, Punk says he is a loser. It’s ok. The path is clear. Rhodes feels this way because heavy is the head that wears the crown. Punk is free as a bird. Punk loved being World Heavyweight Champion, but last night wasn’t his night. Rhodes needs to keep being the champion. Punk just needs to be ready. Punk looks at Rhodes’ title and says you never know when a championship opportunity is just going to fall out of the sky. The crowd buzzes as Punk leaves the ring.
Rhodes says, “Hey, Punk! Just say when.” Punk smirks as he walks off.
Video: Finn Bálor says Dominik Mysterio brought out the Demon last night at WrestleMania. The Demon put Dom down. Bálor isn’t finished with the Judgment Day. Mysterio drew first blood, so he’s the first to fall. Bálor expected that from Mysterio, but from JD? Bálor remembers when McDonagh was a 12-year-old kid in Ireland. Bálor helped him grow into one of the greatest performers on earth. When he needed someone who he knew would have his back no matter what, it was always JD. Then McDonagh made a choice: Mysterio. This will be a full-circle moment for McDonagh. Bálor got him into the business. Tonight, he’ll take him out.

Women’s World Champion Liv Morgan talks about WrestleMania 42
Women’s World Champion Liv Morgan makes her way to the ring alongside AAA Mega Champion “Dirty” Dominik Mysterio, JD McDonagh, Raquel Rodriguez, and Roxanne Perez. Morgan walks around and listens to the crowd’s reaction. She smiles as a “You deserve it” chant picks up. Morgan says that is the smartest thing Las Vegas has said all day. They are now in the presence of the greatest Women’s World Champion of all time.
Before we get to celebrating, she has a few people to thank. To her Judgment Day family, they have been her rock. She would not be where she is today without them. Secondly, this might surprise people, she’d like to thank her WrestleMania opponent, Stephanie Vaquer. They beat the hell out of each other, but Vaquer reminded her of a feeling she hasn’t felt in a long time. It reminded Morgan of who she is. She is the most talented woman in WWE. This is her ring and division. This is her show, and this is her Women’s World Championship. If they thought she was messy and trouble before…
Sol Ruca interrupts Morgan! The crowd is psyched to see her. Ruca apologizes for interrupting, but she’s been watching Morgan. Morgan is an inspiration to her. Seeing her in the title taught her what she learned at the “Battle Royal.” Morgan is the top woman in this division. Ruca says Morgan deserves this. Morgan says she has some nerve interrupting her championship celebration, but she appreciates her kind words. Since Ruca was so nice to her, she’ll say this as nicely as she can: “You are no Liv Morgan, sweetie.” Morgan cackles. Morgan will give her a chance to save herself. If she wants to make it to WrestleMania, she’d better leave right now. Ruca says she isn’t here for a fight, but she won’t back down from one either.
Raw General Manager Adam Pearce comes out and tells everyone to hold on. Pearce says this is the biggest Raw of the year, and the crowd is acting like they want to see a fight. Pearce calls referee Jessika Carr out. Pearce asks if she can handle this for him. It’s Sol Ruca vs. Liv Morgan right now!
