Vince comes to the ring and the fans sing his music. Before Vince starts speaking, the fans quickly let him know that “Roman sucks”. Vince says there is something he wants everyone to know, “thank you”. He thanks us for being the most passionate fans in the world and making WrestleMania a big success. He says WrestleMania was last night, and we’re looking ahead to next year.
Vince says that he’s talked to Raw and SmackDown and there will be a “superstar shake-up” next week, some trading perhaps? He’s move on to show something that is sad and hard to watch, and shows the clip of Stephanie falling through the table last night. He says she will be out for a long time and the fans cheer. He then tells them to calm down, that she was almost broken in half, and they cheer again. The fans chant “DELETE!”
Vince says with all that in mind, Raw is now without a general manager. So it’s time to announce a new one and it will be no surprise that this new GM was inducted into the Hall of Fame this past weekend. Out comes Teddy Long! Teddy starts dancing on the stage and Vince tells them to cut the music, it isn’t Teddy. Long stops dancing and looks sad, he says “my bad” then leaves. The fans laugh and Vince introduces the real General Manager:

Angle receives a huge “welcome back” chant. He says it’s great to be back on Monday Night Raw, it’s damn true.
We’re shown more photos from last night’s WrestleMania and a reminder that Lesnar will be on the show at some point.
*Commercial Break*
The New Day make their way to the ring, dressed in ice cream and Booty-O’s.
Big E says that WrestleMania was one for the ages, and that all the blood from his head to his…he gets interrupted. Kofi says they were so happy to set an attendance record last night but they were sad that they were unable to do what they do best, and whoop some ass. They issue an open challenge to anyone in the back…
The New Day are answered by the best tag team in the business today, The Revival! They come to the ring and the fans love them. Dash knocks over The New Day’s ice cream cart.

The Revival Vs. The New Day
Woods and Dawson start this match. Dawson starts clobbering Woods with forearms and tags-in Dash.
Dash Wilder tries to ground Woods but Xavier hits the ropes and catches him with a headscissors takedown. Dash then manages to tag Dawson while Woods rolls him up for a pin, Dawson runs in and slams Woods to the mat.
*Commercial Break*
We return from the commercial break to Dawson in control. He then flings Woods into Wilder’s knee and tags his partner in. The Revival seem intent to work Woods’ left arm and Wilder continues to do so.
Woods lands a missile Drop kick from the third rope to create space and tries to make the tag. Dawson stops him initially but Woods makes the tag. E then runs riot with a hard slam on Dawson and throws Wilder off the apron. Woods tries to hit a Rolling forearm but the Revival reverse it into the Shatter Machine.
Winner: The Revival
SHATTER MACHINE!!! #TheRevival is VICTORIOUS in their #RAW debut! @ScottDawsonWWE @DashWilderWWE #RAWAfterMAnia pic.twitter.com/E4ruTtBFe9

After the match, Dash and Dawson beat on Kofi. Then, Dawson locks a kneebar on Kofi and Dawson jumps off of the top rope with a stomp onto it. The Revival have done this on NXT and put teams on the injured list.
Kurt Angle is backstage and Enzo and Big Cass introduce themselves to him. They ask how’s he doing and says great, but they aren’t so happy because they want gold. He books a number one contender’s match between them and Cesaro & Sheamus. Angle has no idea what Enzo and Cass are saying, then says that SAWFT is not how you spell the word. Fantastic segment.
Bayley makes her way to the ring for some 6-woman tag team action after the break!
*Commercial Break*
Dana Brooke is on the good guys team, and apparently all the bad blood is forgotten as she bumps fist and laughs with Bayley. I know kayfabe is dead but jeez. Emma is on the opposing team! She comes out and stands on the announce table before coming to the ring.
IT’S ALL ABOUT HER! @EmmaWWE DEMANDS attention as she makes her #RAW return on the #RAWAfterMania! pic.twitter.com/JnH1ahtAGO

Bayley, Sasha Banks & Dana Brooke Vs. Emma, Charlotte & Nia Jax
Charlotte and Dana star the match, but Emma is tagged in before they do anything. Emma grabs her former friend and slams her head into the turnbuckle. Brooke knees her in the stomach, but Emma whips her to the mat by the hair.
She tells Dana to tag in Bayley, so she does. She twists Bayley’s wrist and brings her to the mat for a one count. Bayley takes control for a moment, but Emma levels her with a hard right hand as we head to a break.
*Commercial Break*
Jax is in control of Banks after the break. She brings in Charlotte to continue destroying the women’s champion. Emma is back in to make Bayley suffer by pulling on her ponytail while she is in the tree of woe.
Banks finally gets the tag and cleans house. Brooke takes out Emma before she and Banks hit a double dropkick to Jax. Once the ring is cleared, Sasha locks in the Bank Statement and Charlotte taps!
Winners: Sasha Banks, Bayley & Dana Brooke
After the match, Charlotte shoves Emma, then Nia. Poor decision by the Queen, Nia responds by shoving Charlotte into the corner and splashing her. Nia is cheered as she leaves.
Kurt Angle is backstage again, this time talking to Sami Zayn, who is arguing for a chance. Angel says Zayn has proven he has intensity, integrity and intelligence, so chances will comes his way. Jidner walks in and claims he was screwed by Gronk last night, then starts arguing with Sami, so Angle books them in a match.
