As WrestleMania 41 draws closer, the anticipation around the night two main event, i.e., Cody Rhodes vs John Cena continues to intensify. The two came face to face for a straight-up third week in a row and this time a verbal back-and-forth, for which the fans had been patiently waiting, finally ensued. Aside from that the WWE World Heavyweight Champion Gunther came across Jimmy Uso in the ring. AJ Styles and Logan Paul also furthered their feud, and to put an exclamation point to the European tour, Ivo Sky and Rhea Ripley locked horns for the women's world championship with Bianca Belair as the special referee.
Thus, what transpired at this edition of the Monday Night Raw? Let's find out.
John Cena and Cody Rhodes kicked off the show.
Much like the last two weeks, John Cena kickstarted the show. He received a hostile reception and then came the undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes. The American Nightmare once again asked Cena why he did what he did but this time the 16-time World Champion did not remain silent. Cena and Rhodes traded shots and much to the surprise of many Cody Rhodes was able to match Cena on the mic. However, John Cena still had a better promo. But as the talks transformed into action, Cody got the better of John in that account, delivering a Cross Rhodes to leave Cena hurt in the middle of the ring.
Gunther vs Jimmy Uso
After being insulted by Jimmy Uso last week, Gunther got the chance to take revenge on him this time. It was a great match-up, where Jimmy Uso showcased that he can have as much steam as his brother. However, being the champion, Gunther was always going to win, and he did. But he wasn't done with Jimmy and continued attacking him even after the culmination of the match. The Ring General's aggression prompted Jey Uso to come to the aid of his brother. Nevertheless, Gunther got the better of both the brothers, he tied Jey to the ring and bloodied Jimmy, leaving the Royal Rumble winner helpless.

AJ Styles and Logan Paul Segment
AJ Styles and Logan Paul came face to face again.

Ivo Sky vs Rhea Ripley
In the main event, Rhea Ripley and women's champion Ivo Sky squared off. Both the females had the chance to win. Ripley had the bigger one but the feud with Bianca kept her from reclaiming the title. Ripley kicked Belair during the match, leaving the match referee-less for a brief period. Ironically, Rhea was able to land her finisher on Ivo at the same time and could have become the champion but there was no referee to do the pinfall. In the end, the match ended in a double disqualification. Ripley was able to stand tall in the end as she downed both Sky and Belair.
That was it from the O2, London, and the European tour. These crowds will be missed.
