☕ Grab your coffee. Wrestling never sleeps, and apparently, neither do we …

The road to WrestlePalooza has officially reached its boiling point. WWE Raw in Springfield, Massachusetts delivered a night packed with emotion, chaos, and unforgettable moments. This was not just another Monday night. It was the final stop before rivalries collide on one of wrestling’s biggest fall stages. From John Cena’s heartfelt words to shocking betrayals and long-awaited returns, this Raw gave fans plenty to talk about heading into the weekend.

John Cena’s Emotional Homecoming

When John Cena’s music hit, the Springfield crowd exploded. Cena soaked in the ovation from his hometown and reflected on his days at Springfield College. He admitted he wasn’t a star player, but the lessons of discipline, grit, and humility shaped him into the man he is today.

Cena then addressed his looming clash with Brock Lesnar. With only a handful of appearances left, he explained why he couldn’t say no. Backing out would have been safe, but it wouldn’t have been him. Calling himself the “Last Real Champion,” Cena vowed to face the Beast head-on. His words stirred the crowd, leaving no doubt that Saturday will be a war.

Uso Family Tension with LA Knight

Backstage, LA Knight shoved Jey Uso, forcing Adam Pearce to intervene. Later, Knight declared Jimmy Uso would be his partner against Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed. Jey didn’t approve, but Knight pressed on. The family loyalty vs survival angle is clearly heading toward an explosive payoff at WrestlePalooza.

Lyra Valkyria vs. Roxanne Perez

Lyra Valkyria and Roxanne Perez delivered a fast-paced contest, trading holds and counters before Lyra connected with the Nightwing for the win.

⭐ 2.75/5 - Solid action, but the post-match stole the spotlight. Raquel Rodriguez attacked Lyra, only for Bayley to make her shocking return. The crowd erupted as Bayley cleared house, hugged fans, and cemented her comeback.

Penta vs. Kofi Kingston

Penta went toe-to-toe with Kofi Kingston in a thrilling clash of styles. The finish saw Penta land a breathtaking springboard Mexican Destroyer to secure the victory.

⭐ 3/5 - Crisp work from both men, and Penta continues to prove he is must-watch.

Rollins and Becky Clash with Punk and AJ

The most anticipated moment was the face-to-face between Seth Rollins & Becky Lynch and CM Punk & AJ Lee. The insults were fast, sharp, and personal. Punk mocked egos, Rollins fired back about Punk walking out, Becky questioned AJ’s health, and AJ countered with her signature venom.

Things exploded when AJ slapped Rollins, Becky hit the Manhandle Slam, and Punk & AJ were left laid out. Rollins and Becky stood tall, but the feud is now red-hot heading into WrestlePalooza.

El Grande Americano vs. Dragon Lee

Dragon Lee and El Grande Americano battled in a hard-hitting bout. Multiple “Americanos” interfered, allowing Americano to steal the win.

⭐ 3/5 - Strong action, though the gimmick risks overstaying its welcome. Still, the major payoff feels near.

Stephanie Vaquer vs. Kairi Sane

This was the match of the night. Stephanie Vaquer and Kairi Sane traded stiff strikes and breathtaking counters until Vaquer nailed the Devil’s Kiss for the victory.

⭐ 3.75/5 - A standout performance capped off with post-match respect between Vaquer and IYO SKY, signaling a division ready to headline.

Darrion would also like to point out - STEPHANIE DOES NOT LOOK INJURED TO ME IWC!

Main Event: LA Knight & Jimmy Uso vs. Bron Breakker & Bronson Reed

The chaotic tag team war ended with Breakker and Reed’s raw power overwhelming their opponents. The Brons scored the win after a brutal slugfest.

⭐ 3.5/5 - A strong main event that only got hotter when Jey Uso stormed in with a chair, only for LA Knight to betray him with a shocking BFT. Alliances crumbled and trust shattered, closing Raw with absolute bedlam.

Final Thoughts

This Raw was everything a go-home show should be. Emotional speeches, shocking returns, heated confrontations, and a betrayal that sets WrestlePalooza on fire. Cena’s speech will go down as one of his best, AJ Lee’s return has become the talk of the community, and Bayley’s comeback injects instant excitement into the women’s division.

⭐ Overall Show Rating: 8.5/10

👉 If Raw was the preview, WrestlePalooza is about to deliver moments fans will be talking about for years.

This Wednesday night, MrTeshk is celebrating his birthday the only way he knows how - in front of the fans, live and unfiltered. The Birthday Bash Live Stream is shaping up to be part wrestling roundtable, part gaming chaos, and part community hangout. Think AEW breakdowns, Fortnite firefights, card games, and maybe even a few surprises along the way.

What makes this different? It is not just another stream. It is an interactive party where the chat drives the action. Expect MrTeshk’s signature wrestling takes as he dives into the latest AEW stories, heated debates on what’s next for the industry, and plenty of laughs. Then, when the matches move to the virtual ring, Fortnite and card games take over, with fans hopping into the fun for a Players Lounge vibe that keeps the energy rolling.

And yes … it’s a birthday bash. Which means toasts, good vibes, and community energy that feel more like sitting down with friends than tuning into a broadcast.

👉 Mark your calendar. The Birthday Bash Live Stream kicks off Wednesday evening, and if you’re part of the Straight Shoot community, this is the night to show up, raise a glass, and be part of one of MrTeshk’s most memorable broadcasts yet.

WWE Women’s Champion Tiffany Stratton has been ruled out of action for tonight’s NXT HOMECOMING. NXT General Manager Ava confirmed on social media that Stratton is not medically cleared to compete in her scheduled bout.

No further details have been given on her condition at this time, leaving fans waiting to see how this last-minute change will impact one of NXT’s biggest events of the year.

Rhea Ripley has become one of WWE’s biggest stars, but that spotlight comes with challenges. A few weeks ago in France, Rhea found herself surrounded by overzealous fans who blocked her from getting to her car.

Now WWE has made the call to keep security with Ripley at all times in public. From media stops to even amusement park rides, she has a full team ensuring her safety.

It is a move that fans are praising as the right call, with many giving respect to Triple H and WWE for protecting one of their top champions on and off the screen.

👉 A reminder that fame has its price, but this time WWE got it right.
