WWE Raw April 14 2025 is a show that flew by, because it seemed like not a lot happened. With four really enjoyable matches. Julius Creed having a standout performance against Rey. Liv Morgan continued her great year with her Bayley match. Kross returning to the ring and having a great story told with his actions and how he fooled Aj with an ankle injury. Also sacrificing himself to give Aj the confidence for Mania. Logan Paul also stood tall with the Paulverizer. Gunther cut a great promo where Jey’s felt a little filler with a step backwards. Roman is clearly feeling hurt and betrayed as he puts his hands on Paul. Seth stood tall by stomping both men as Heyman is a broken man. Throughout the night we had several promo videos to advance the women's triple threat and the War Raiders tag title match.
Raw felt more to be desired by still there wasn’t really anything to complain about for this show. Not a great Wrestlemania go home Raw, but a very solid episode of Raw as a whole.

AMAZING Bayley Vs Liv Morgan: WWE Raw April 14 2025 First Match
This is a very fun and enjoyable showing from both Bayley and Liv Morgan. Liv Morgan always delivers and does great. From great psychology, her selling is always top notch. From doing the three amigos with the last on the steps. To a great dropkick off of the apron. The crowd got invested with Lyra and Raquel having to get involved. Building up to Bayley winning with a jackknife roll up, Bayley’s pin was very well done. It made sense to win the match, it looked great with Bayley wrapping her legs around Liv for more leverage in the jackknife. The crowd was happy with Bayley getting this win as she is the face.
Results: Bayley by Pinfall via Jackknife Roll Up

GREAT Rey Mysterio Vs Julius Creed:
Julius is so good and this was the first time in a while he got to shine, this time with Rey Mysterio. Being the stronger star, someone who could easily catch Rey in mid air. Be able to muscle him around with ease. The outside issues between American Made and the LWO helped set up a time where Rey and Creed were the only two in focus. Eventually El Grande Americano came out to the ring and tried to distract Rey. Rey ended up getting the win after using Julius to hit Americano off of the apron. After the match Mister Americano stood tall, using the loaded mask to lay out Lee and Rey.
Results: Rey Mysterio by Pinfall via Dropping The Dime

AMAZING AJ Styles Vs Karrion Kross:
Everything within this match was great. Kross selling, trying to verbally trash talk and trigger AJ. Wanting AJ’s aggressive side to come out. Using the outside and ringside area to further the damage Styles. A highlight of the match was Kross using an ankle injury to distract the ref and fool Aj. Aj was out with an ankle injury last year so its a great touch. The crowd was very invested and by the end of it, Aj wins with the Phenomenal Forearm with Kross accepting it like a sacrifice.
Results: AJ Styles by Pinfall via Phenomenal Forearm

GREAT Jey Uso Promo:
Jey does another encore as he is wearing all black, some shades and standing on the announce table. He says quite a bit of the same thing he sad last week before ending the promo more like the yeetmaster. Doing one yeet to end it. Basic but well done promo.

GREAT Penta Vs Finn Balor: WWE Raw April 14 2025 Main Event
Penta and Finn get good time. They have great sequences and as a whole a very fun match. Of course the Judgment Day attempt to get involved by the end of it. Bron Breakker ends up coming out and attacking Finn Balor in the ring. A brawl takes place with Penta standing tall after hitting a great dive on everyone. Carlito having ptsd but Bron hitting a double spear was great.
Results: Finn Balor by DQ via Bron Breakker Interference

AMAZING Roman Reigns, Seth Rollins and CM Punk Under One Roof: WWE Raw April 14 2025 Last Segment
Roman is hurt, after not taking the mic from Heyman and getting his own. He is trying to ask why Paul would do this to him. Seth would come out and explain that Heyman made his choice to be with Punk. Rollins would claim he doesn’t expect Heyman to fulfill a favor as Heyman is a scumbag. Roman agrees but ends up hitting Seth. Paul would also be pushed down to the ground by Roman. Punk comes out and brawls with Roman. Seth gets back in the ring with a chair and uses it to hit both men. Hitting two stomps as Seth stands tall to close the show.
