WWE Raw: expected segments and matches and how Wrestlemania 41 is shaping up after Elimination Chamber 2025

• The first WWE Raw after Elimination Chamber 2025 takes place this evening (March 3 2025.)
• The biggest talking point coming out of the weekend’s PLE is why John Cena has sold out to The Rock.
• Will we find out what other superstars think of John Cena’s move to the dark side, and what championship matches are taking place this evening on Netflix?

Hell officially froze over on Saturday night, when John Cena did the unthinkable at the climax of WWE Elimination Chamber 2025 - he became a bad guy.

For wrestling fans, this is one of the biggest shifts in alignments from a face (good guy) to a heel (bad guy), with most people never expecting John Cena to be the one to sell his soul to The Rock - especially after winning the men’s Elimination Chamber after submitting CM Punk - with a huge assist from Seth Rollins.

As Cody Rhodes and The Rock came down to close the show for The American Nightmare to make his decision, he ‘emphatically’ told The Rock his answer, and received a hug from John Cena who remained in the ring.

However, that led to a sudden change in demeanour on Cena’s face, and when The Rock gave the command, the Elimination Chamber winner attacked Cody and in the post-show press conference would only lift up the microphone and drop it on the table.

According to The Rock, Cena is currently in Africa to finish filming, so we might have to wait for an answer to the question everyone is asking, “why, John, why,” but the Road to Wrestlemania has started to take shape and offered more questions than answers so far.

But what’s scheduled for the first WWE Raw after the earth-shaking events that took place in Toronto over the weekend?

WWE Raw preview - March 3 2025

WWE Women’s World Championship Match - Rhea Ripley (c) v Iyo Sky

Rhea Ripley puts her title on the line against former WWE Women’s Champion IYO SKY. With The Judgment Day always lurking, will "Mami" continue her dominant reign, or can SKY pull off the upset?

WWE World Tag Team Championship Match - The War Raiders (c) v American Made

The War Raiders (Erik & Ivar) defend their titles against the hard-hitting duo of Brutus and Julius Creed, aka American Made. Will the Creed Brothers capture gold, or will the reigning champs prove why they’re one of the most dominant teams in WWE?

WWE Women’s Intercontinental Championship Match - Lyra Valkyria (c) v Ivy Nile

Lyra Valkyria faces a tough challenge as she defends her championship against Ivy Nile. Will Nile’s strength and submission game be enough to dethrone the high-flying Valkyria?

CM Punk, Seth Rollins, Bianca Belair and Gunther scheduled to appear

Without question, all four superstars will have a lot to talk about on this evening’s episode of WWE Raw: Bianca Belair, the women’s Elimination Chamber winner, will have questions regarding why her former tag team partner Jade Cargill attacked Naomi before the women’s match on Saturday.

Is that an indicator that Naomi was the one who attacked Cargill weeks ago, or is there another twist in the tale? Gunther also continues his promises to make his Wrestlemania 41 opponent Jey Uso’s life a living hell until their battle in Las Vegas in April.

Then there’s CM Punk - the last man eliminated in the Elimination Chamber match by John Cena on Saturday. It was a Seth Rollins curb-stomp after he was eliminated that led to Punk losing his chance to take on Cody Rhodes at Wrestlemania 41; will he call in his favour from Paul Heyman, and what’s his take on his former nemesis John Cena ‘selling out’ over the weekend?
