Monday Night Raw – February 10, 2025
Location: Wells Fargo Center – Philadelphia, PA
Open: The Game Has Changed
The show opens with the theme of Triple H blasting through the arena. The crowd erupts as the brand new CEO of WWE , Triple H, walks to the ring with a determined look on his face. Dressed in a tailored suit, he grabs a microphone and stands in the center of the ring.
Triple H: “Welcome to Monday Night Raw!” (The crowd erupts in cheers.) “Tonight is not just another show. Tonight is the beginning of a new era—The Triple H Era! “
The audience chants “Triple H! Triple H!” as he pauses.
Triple H: “For too long, the wrestling world has been ran by corrupt officials who put their personal greed before the integrity of this business. But that ends now!
The court has spoken, and those who tarnished the name of this great company—Murrey and Jesse Ventura—are gone! They were found guilty of sexual misconduct and paying hush money to Guyla Rose! Their names are erased from our history, their actions no longer acknowledged. Ventura is not a Hall of Famer! We will unveil our first Hall of Fame this April at our big event…Wrestle Empire! This is a new beginning, and under my leadership, WWE will be about what it should have always been—wrestling!”
Another loud pop from the crowd.
Triple H: “I understand that the World of Wrestling Organization recognizes history differently. They call this the Seventh Era. I have no issue with that, but here in WWE, we are forging ahead under one name, one brand, one era—The Triple H Era. Anything associated with the name Murrey from any era of WOW will not be recognized.”
More cheers from the audience.
Triple H: “And speaking of history, from this day forward, only the reigns of two champions remain recognized: WWE Champion The Rock and World Heavyweight Champion AJ Styles!”
The mention of The Rock gets a mix of cheers and boos.
Triple H: “We are resetting the WWE Intercontinental Championship tonight! In this very ring, two of the best wrestlers in the world will battle for it—Chad Gable versus Otis!”
The crowd cheers loudly for the announcement.
Triple H: “And as for the returning SmackDown, this Friday we will determine Inaugural WWE Tag Team Champions when DIY takes on The Street Profits!”
The crowd pops again.
Triple H: *”And with that said, there’s only one thing left to ask…Are you ready?!”
The entire arena shouts back, “YES!”
Triple H: “No, I said…ARE YOU READY?!”
Another louder “YES!” from the fans as his theme hits and we go to commercial.
Pete Dunne vs. Finn Bálor
A technical masterpiece kicks off Raw as two of the best strikers in WWE go head-to-head. The match is hard-hitting with Dunne targeting Bálor’s fingers, while Bálor counters with high-impact strikes and sling blades.
Finish: Bálor goes for the Coup de Grâce, but Dunne rolls out of the way and locks in a brutal submission. Bálor barely reaches the ropes. As he gets up, Dunne hits the Bitter End for the win!
Winner: Pete Dunne
Backstage Interview
Jackie Redmond:
“Roman…(The crowd is heard cheering thunderously from inside the arena)…why have you come to WWE?”
ROMAN REIGNS:
“This is the moment you’ve all been waiting for, huh? The moment where I finally stand in your ring, in your company, and introduce myself to the world. But the truth is… you already know who I am. You’ve been hearing my name. You’ve been reading the headlines. And you’ve all been asking the same damn question—’When is Roman Reigns coming to WWE?’ Well… the answer is now.”
(The crowd roars, half in shock, half in excitement. Roman smirks, standing with purpose.)
“I dominate everywhere I go. I’ve walked through locker rooms full of guys who called themselves ‘the best.’ I’ve taken on so-called champions, main eventers, legends—anyone who thought they could step up to me. And guess what? They all fell. Because I’m not just another guy. I’m the guy. And that’s why I’m standing right here, in this company, to do what I was always meant to do—run this place.”
(Roman’s expression hardens as he looks straight into the cam.)
“But let’s talk about why I’m really here. See, I could’ve gone anywhere. I could’ve stayed where I was, kept collecting my money, kept crushing nobodies. But then I saw something that didn’t sit right with me. I saw a man walk around here with my title, calling himself the ‘Great One,’ calling himself the ‘Head of the Table.’”
(The crowd erupts, knowing exactly who he’s talking about—The Rock.)
“Dwayne… I respect everything you’ve done. I respect the empire you built, the movies, the accolades, the championships. But let’s get one thing straight—this ain’t a movie set. This ain’t some Hollywood blockbuster where you get to be the hero because the script says so.
This is WWE. And here? The real ones, the killers, the true champions—we don’t read the script. We write our own legacy with blood, sweat, and pain. And I promise you, Dwayne, the moment you step in this ring with me… that legacy of yours? It ends.”
(The crowd explodes in shock as Roman steps closer to the camera, his voice dropping to a lethal whisper.)
“I didn’t come here to shake hands. I didn’t come here to play the good guy. I came here to take what’s mine. So, Rock, enjoy holding that WWE Championship while you still can, because at Wrestle Empire in April, I’m coming for you. And when it’s all said and done, when I’m standing over you with that title in my hands, the entire world will know what I already do…”
(Roman lifts his head, eyes burning with intensity.)
“This is my island. This is my company. And I am the Head of the Table.”
Jackie Redmond: “Back to ringside.”
AJ Styles (c) vs. Kofi Kingston – World Heavyweight Championship Match
A fast-paced, high-energy battle between two incredible athletes. Kofi comes out strong, using his agility to keep Styles off balance. Styles counters with stiff strikes and high-impact moves, including a phenomenal forearm off the ropes.
Finish: Kofi attempts Trouble in Paradise, but Styles ducks and counters with the Styles Clash for the three-count!
Winner and STILL World Heavyweight Champion: AJ Styles
After the match, a frustrated and bitter Kofi Kingston snaps. As AJ Styles celebrates, Kofi grabs a steel chair and viciously attacks the champion, delivering multiple brutal shots to his back and ribs. Officials rush in to break it up as Kofi walks up the ramp with a cold, angry expression, leaving Styles writhing in pain in the ring.
Commercial Break
