Jimmy Uso Makes Surprise Return

Monday’s WWE RAW show at the Xfinity Mobile Arena in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania featured WWE World Tag Team Champion Jimmy Uso making his surprise return.

During the show, The Usos (Jimmy & Jey Uso) came out from the arena concourse and gave a promo in the crowd talking about their upcoming WWE World Tag Team title defense against Alpha Academy (Akira Tozawa & Otis) and some words of praise for Roman Reigns being the winner of this year’s Men’s Royal Rumble match.

This was Jimmy’s first appearance since this past January due to an undisclosed family-related situation.

Brie Bella Reveals Reason for WWE Return & Reuniting Bella Twins

Monday’s WWE RAW show also featured The Bella Twins (Brie & Nikki Bella) revealing their reason for reuniting as a team in WWE.

During the show, The Bella Twins came out to the ring and after some words, Brie stated that the reason why she came back to WWE and reunited with her sister Nikki is due to her claims of them being the original team of the Women’s Tag Team division and they are ready to come after the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship and win the titles again.

Dominik Mysterio Makes Surprise Return

Monday’s WWE RAW show also featured WWE Intercontiental and AAA Mega Champions Dominik Mysterio making a surprise return from injury.

During the show, Mysterio’s music played and he came out to the ring. Mysterio stated that the only reason he came back to a place like Philadelphia was to celebrate Liv Morgan’s Women’s Royal Rumble victory.

This was Mysterio’s first appearance in WWE since this past November’s AAA Guerra de Titanes 2025 event due to a shoulder injury.

Stephanie Vaquer Debuts New Entrance Theme Song

Monday’s WWE RAW show also featured WWE Women’s World Champion Stephanie Vaquer debuting a new entrance theme song for her.

Roman Reigns Picks CM Punk & WWE World Title For His WrestleMana 42 Match

Monday’s WWE RAW show also featured this year’s Men’s Royal Rumble winner Roman Reigns officially choosing his title match for this April’s WrestleMania 42 event.

During the show, Reigns arrived in a SUV and made his way backstage to the ring. After some words by Reigns about his history with the city of Philadelphia for his wrestling career, WWE World Heavyweight Champion CM Punk’s music played to interrupt and he came out to the ring. Punk grabbed a microphone and looked at the camera giving some words of warning to Finn Balor over their recent bad blood issues with each other.

After some words, Punk told Roman that he could go after him or he could just take the easy way out and pick Drew McIntyre.

Reigns responded back bringing up how McIntyre is much bigger than Punk and how the last time McIntyre and Punk feuded, it was over some bracelet. Punk responded bringing up how he beat McIntyre in the most dangerous match WWE has to offer, the Hell in a Cell, and proceeded to bring up McIntyre’s battles with The Bloodline. This led to upset Reigns responding back warning Punk to not disrespect his family’s name and after some heated back-and-forth banter between the two, Reigns stated that he has made his decision. Reigns continued stating that he could’ve chosen Punk because he’s the biggest star available and because he’s on Netflix and on the best show but he is picking CM Punk because he hates Punk. Reigns stated that he’s always hated Punk and “WrestleMania is gonna be the best day of his life because in the main event … Punk will acknowledge him”.
