WWE RAW Results (3/4/2024):

The show opens up with footage of “Main Event” Jey Uso and “The Irresistible Force” Nia Jax shown arriving at the arena. We then get a recap of the Bloodline segment from this past Friday’s episode of WWE Smackdown.

“The American Nightmare” Cody Rhodes then makes his way down to the ring as Michael Cole and Pat McAfee welcome us to the show.

Cody Rhodes starts off by asking San Antonio what they want to talk about. Rhodes says that at WrestleMania 40 he will be standing face-to-face with the greatest WWE Champion of all time Roman Reigns. Rhodes then says he would like to talk about that, but he is faced with a distraction on his road to WrestleMania and that distraction is The Rock. Rhodes also says last week The Rock posted a 16-minute video, then deleted that and posted a 21-minute directors cut version. Rhodes also says The Rock calls the crowd meth heads and The Rock even talks about his dog.

Rhodes then turns to the camera and says The Rock should never talk about his dog. Rhodes also says The Rock said a lot of things on SmackDown, but the one thing he downplayed is the fact that he declined The American Nightmare’s challenge. Rhodes then confirms what The Rock said to him before trying to steal his main event. Rhodes then says The Rock told him that no one wants to see him face Roman Reigns because the people want to see The Rock vs. Roman Reigns. The fans then started to chant, “We Want Cody!”

Rhodes also says that The Rock proposed an alternative that also includes his friend. Rhodes then pauses and says he thinks he can call this man, World Heavyweight Champion Seth “Freakin” Rollins, his friend. Rollins’ music hits and he makes his way down to the ring as the crowd sings his song. Rollins then starts off by welcoming the fans to Monday Night Rollins. Rollins then asks Rhodes what he is thinking.

Rhodes then tells Rollins that he understands if Rollins wants to focus on his title defense against Drew McIntyre and not have his back. Rollins then says he will take care of McIntyre. Rollins then points out what he said last week and that is that some things are bigger than them. Rollins then says WrestleMania isn’t just about finishing Rhodes story as it is about Rollins’ story too. Rollins then says with The Rock in The Bloodline, Reigns is inches away from having absolute power. Rollins then says he is over The Rock at this point and a “Rocky sucks” chant breaks out.

Rollins then says The Rock hasn’t been The Rock or The People’s Champion in a long time. Rollins then says he isn’t going to bother calling The Rock any of those names again and from here on out, he will refer to The Rock as “Diarriah Dwayne.” Rollins then says that Diarriah Dwayne promised to make sure Rollins loses his title if he sticks his nose in Bloodline business. Rollins then turns to the camera and tells The Rock he would like to see him try. Rollins then says that as of today he is 100% medically cleared and asks Rhodes if he has his back. Rhodes nods and says they are going to go to SmackDown this week and give The Rock his answer face-to-face.

Michael Cole congratulates “The Icon” Sting on his retirement and thanked him for the memories. Pat McAfee then says Sting had an epic match last night.

We then get the entrances of the first match of the night, which is a Non-Title Match.

Chad Gable then interrupts and says he is sick of GUNTHER’s condensing smile. Gable then says he could look past that, but he couldn’t look past what GUNTHER did to him after their match because the tears in his daughter’s eyes insulted him as a father.
