WWE Raw March 31 2025 brings the final but the strongest show on the European detour. In comparison to Smackdown being a really good storyline progression show, this is that in and outside of the ring. With standout moments like The John Cena and Cody Rhodes face to face promo. Gunther’s brutalization of Big Jim Uso right in front of a distraught Jey Uso. Logan Paul laying out AJ Styles to set up their Wrestlemania match. New Day having a stare down with The War Raiders.
Promos and the tag match with Bron Breakker, Penta and Judgment Day help demonstrate the tensions between Bron and Penta, Judgment Day and Bron, and even the dissension between Finn and Dom being planted by Liv. After doubt was forming on whether or not Rhea could defeat Iyo Sky, Bianca Belair had enough after being hit by both of them. Calling off the match, protecting both Iyo and Rhea, while also having Rhea stand tall in dominant fashion.
WWE Raw March 31 2025 is the final stop of the European detour. With another event in London. John Cena’s last scheduled appearance as he goes face to face with Cody Rhodes again. The New Day are in action as they start their quest to get to the War Raiders. Big Jim Uso faces Gunther with the goal of proving to his brother that he can beat him. Logan Paul calls out AJ Styles. Rhea Ripley attempts her rematch against Iyo Sky with Bianca Belair as the special guest referee and more.
PERFECT John Cena and Cody Rhodes Promo: WWE Raw March 31 2025 Opening Promo
Contrary to the weeks before, Cody Rhodes doesn’t give John the chance to speak first. He would come out and wear his insecurities proudly. Mentioning his lisp, his neck tattoo, and being booed out of the company he created.
John Cena would then proudly admit that he was going to bury Cody Rhodes. Claiming that he was burying mediocrity for all of these years. Cena would finally target Cody, making several claims about Cody that are worthy of seeing. The best part about this is Cody is fully able to weather the storm. John Cena hit him with potentially his best, and Cody was able to return it. Both Vince and Tony Khan are brought up without being named, but make for memorable moments.
Cody was able to fully get under the skin by setting up the London crowd to chant that John couldn’t wrestle. John faints another retreat by going for a punch, Cody connects with a cross Rhodes to stand tall.

GREAT New Day Vs New Catch Republic: WWE Raw March 31 2025 First Match

GREAT Gunther Vs Jimmy Uso:
Gunther was being told he was a wanker for a long time throughout this match. With Jimmy Uso getting some spurts of offense, but Big Jim can’t handle the ring general. Psychologically, you feel the pain that Gunther is causing. Just assaulting Jimmy while pulling him up to break counts. It takes a deep sleeper for the win.
The post match angle is electric, with Gunther decimating Jimmy Uso in front of Jey with Jey zip tied to the ropes.
Results: Gunther by Submission via Sleeper
Coby Galenzoski WR Star Rating – 3.50 Stars
GREAT Judgment Day Vs Bron Breakker and Penta:
Bron and Penta looked really really good as a team here. With great tandem offense, including an electric chair sling blade instead of the bulldog. Penta is worked on by the Judgment Day before the eventual hot tag. After stopping a Mexican destroyer, Dom held Penta and Penta got speared by Bron Breakker. Finn Balor ends up reaping the benefits and winning a match with a coup de grace.
Results: Finn Balor by Pinfall via Coup De Grace on Penta
Coby Galenzoski WR Star Rating – 3.75 Stars
GOOD Logan Paul and Aj Styles Promo:
This crowd hated Logan Paul. They loved Aj Styles. There was several moments of Logan Paul talking about money, calling people poor. He tries to forgive AJ for MSG, AJ says Logan is the biggest douchebag to ever step foot in a WWE ring. Logan claims AJ wants the money match. It’s not long before they brawl. Logan gets the better of it including hitting his Paulverizer.

AMAZING Iyo Sky Vs Rhea Ripley – WWE Women’s World Championship, Bianca Belair Referee: WWE Raw March 31 2025 Main Event
While there are a couple of rough moments timing wise, this is still a very well done match. Revolving in the story of Rhea never being able to defeat Iyo. You can see her emotions become evident with every nearfall. Doubt creeping in and tensions with Bianca clearly not helping. Some fun spots including the crucifix driver from the top. Iyo will forever be really good and selling for stronger stars like Bianca and Rhea. Rhea and Iyo both end up hitting Bianca and Bianca calls the match off, protecting Rhea and Iyo.
Results: No Contest by Double DQ via Both Hitting Bianca
Coby Galenzoski WR Star Rating – 4.25 Stars
