WWE Raw February 24 2025 is a very well done show. While the show helped build towards Wrestlemania and Elimination Chamber. With Sami Zayn’s top notch interview. Seth and Cody’s amazing promo talking about The Rock also giving us a tease that maybe Seth could win the chamber. Jey Uso continuing to get the one up on Gunther while Gunther is disrespecting him.
It also had important things for this episode. From two championship defenses, one retain and one resulting in new tag team champions in a hell of a match. Ludwig Kaiser stealing the victory from Penta in the little midcard feud with Dunne. The show had good flow and really didn’t lack entertainment. This episode also had probably the best use of the flexible time because it didn’t end on a half or full hour. We really didn’t know when the main event would end and that made it even better.
WWE Raw February 24 2025 brings Raw’s go home show for the final PLE stop on the Road to Wrestlemania Elimination Chamber. After weeks of issues with each other, Penta has two opponents in a triple threat match against Ludwig Kaiser and Pete Dunne. We here from the World Heavyweight Champion Gunther. Two Women’s Championship matches are set for tonight with Lyra Valkyria’s first defense against Dakota Kai. After being led to believe that Liv and Raquel attacked Jade, Bianca Belair and Naomi defend against the accused. Elimination Chamber participants Logan Paul, CM Punk and Seth Rollins are set to appear as well.
GREAT Logan Paul and Cm Punk Promo: WWE Raw February 24 2025 Opening Promo
Logan Paul comes out first and ends up talking about being in Cincinnati. Not wanting to be there. Throwing in a Joe Burrow line. Saying that Ohio doesn’t appreciate great talent like Joe and himself. Claiming he will beat doorknobs to win the chamber. CM Punk arrives and interrupts Logan. The two of them start talking about legacies. Logan saying the top names change but Punk saying because they are all legends. Names brought up were Punk’s, Cena’s and Austin’s. Punk would tell Logan that he won’t be a legend and that people won’t remember what he does. Punk calls himself Satan when referring to Cody selling his soul. Logan and Punk were inches away before Logan slapped Punk. He retreated before Punk stated that Logan couldn’t run as he was locked in the Chamber on Saturday.

AMAZING Ludwig Kaiser Vs Penta Vs Pete Dunne: WWE Raw February 24 2025 First Match
As a triple feud with everyone involved, this is a very fun match. Everyone gets their moments to shine. Penta continues to look like money and fit like a glove in WWE. Ludwig cut a promo for the no ad viewers saying he was going to take the spotlight back. And he did just that in this match. Ludwig ends up stealing the victory after Penta’s Mexican Destroyer on Pete. Pete was great with his selling for both the Destroyer and Kaiser’s DDT in the finish.
Results: Ludwig Kaiser by Pinfall via Kaiser Scepter DDT

GOOD LWO, Joaquin Wilde and Cruz Del Toro Vs New Day:
This was a predictable match. Wilde and Toro are the bottom of the LWO totem pole so they were not going to beat The New Day. The two representatives of the LWO got their moments and did look good. Getting some spots in on Woods and Kofi. Kofi and Xavier win with the double foot stomp and backbreaker combo. A staple of Kofi and Woods as a team. Dragon Lee tried to make the save after the match but New Day stood tall.
Results: New Day by Pinfall via Assisted Double Foot Stomp + Back Breaker.

GREAT Gunther Promo:
Gunther reveals he negotiated time with Adam Pearce, wanting to compete on Raw. He had a hand picked opponent and it was Tozawa. He roasted that Akira was doing dances in the back as he knows him. Gunther tells Tozawa there are comparisons between the two. Both getting into the best shape of their lives, both wanting to make it in WWE. Saying his career is being wasted with the Alpha Academy doing the dances they are doing. He wanted to give Tozawa the chance to gain his respect.

SQUASH Gunther Vs Akira Tozawa:
Very entertaining Squash match. Tozawa gets a bit of offense but Gunther is able to clothesline him and just ragdoll the star around. Gunther uses a sleeper with Tozawa’s feet off of the map. Otis would stop Gunther from attacking him. Gunther left the ring but ended up returning and putting a sleeper on Otis. Jey Uso makes the save for the Alpha Academy, crowd behind him as always.
Results: Gunther by Submission via Sleeper
GREAT Lyra Valkyria Vs Dakota Kai – Women’s Intercontinental Championship:
This is a sub eight minute match which I don’t fully feel was as good as the first one in January. It did get a “This is awesome” chant and the wrestling was done well. Building and working towards the superplex is so good from Lyra and Dakota. The Nightwing gets the win in a shortish match. Definitely better than the Michin and Chelsea rematches. Dakota is walking to the back but gets attacked by Ivy Nile. Ivy then goes into the ring and attacks the celebrating Lyra. She dominates the champ and lays her out.
Results: Lyra Valkyria by Pinfall via Nightwing

SQUASH Bron Breakker Vs Dominik Mysterio with Carlito and Finn:
Bron uses his power and speed to control Dom. Dom ends up getting a 619. Breakker wasn’t down for long as he got his frankensteiner. Carlito and Finn pull him out of the ring and attack him. Beating down on Bron in the ring, Finn goes for a chair but Bron is able to break out of Carlito and Dom. Bron stopped Finn in his tracks, making Balor retreat.
Results: Bron Breakker by DQ via Carlito and Finn Balor Interference
MUST WATCH Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins Promo: WWE Raw February 24 2025 Amazing Promo
Cody would come out as he starts to address The Rock from Friday. Kinda doing a lot better at recapping and summarizing what the Rock was throwing his way. Seth Rollins interrupts and admits this is the first time they have been in the ring since last mania. Rollins kinda assumed that Cody was thinking about the offer and was disrespected. Seth doesn’t want to regret helping Cody and tells him that he is coming for the title, not his soul.
Both men do their job extremely well, Cody bouncing back from Friday and Seth being the first of probably many to interject and say their piece regarding Cody.

MUST WATCH Bianca Belair and Naomi Vs Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez – Women’s Tag Team Championship: WWE Raw February 24 2025 Must Watch Main Event
What a match. This is everything it needed to be and more. From brilliant nearfalls to heat grabbing spots from Dominik Mysterio who came down during the match. This was a heated rivalry built off of last year and now the assumptions from Naomi and Bianca. Both teams got what they needed to provided nearfalls and an edge of your seat feel towards this match. Not only that but the finish made sense, they went to war and one smash into the LED post was able to end it. Liv barely able to make a strong cover is just great psychology which she truly understands in the business.
Results: Liv Morgan by Pinfall via Naomi being smashed into the LED post by Raquel.
