WWE Raw Results 4/28 - Bron Breakker, Seth Rollins & Paul Heyman Appear, Roxanne Perez Faces Rhea Ripley

Welcome to Wrestling Inc.'s live coverage for "WWE Raw" on April 28, 2025, coming to you live from the T-Mobile Center in Kansas City, Missouri!

Last week's edition of "Raw" ended in shocking fashion when Roman Reigns blindsided former Shield stablemate Seth Rollins with an attack as his former "Wise Man" Paul Heyman watched on. Reigns' plans were foiled, however, when Bron Breakker connected with a spear on him to reveal a secret alliance he had formed with Rollins and Heyman. In light of such events, Breakker, Rollins, and Heyman will all be appearing on tonight's show with something on their minds to share.

Becky Lynch revealed herself as Lyra Valkyria's mystery tag team partner at Night Two of WWE WrestleMania 41, and together, the pair were able to dethrone Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez as WWE Women's Tag Team Championship. The Judgment Day members were then able to win back the title last Monday night, but Lynch then betrayed Valkyria immediately after the loss with an attack. Tonight, Lynch looks to provide some insight into her actions as she makes an appearance on tonight's show.

"NXT" star Roxanne Perez will be competing in her first match on "Raw" since scoring a won over the aforementioned Rodriguez in a 2025 Women's Elimination Chamber Qualifier Match on February 17 as she goes head-to-head with Rhea Ripley. Perez and Ripley encountered one another last week when they and fellow "NXT" star Giulia caused the match between Women's World Champion IYO SKY and Stephanie Vaquer to be ruled a no contest due to outside interference. Vaquer herself will be competing in a match of her own tonight as she collides with Ivy Nile of American Made in what will be the latter's first match on "Raw" since coming up short against Dakota Kai on March 17.

Additionally, Logan Paul is set to appear after defeating AJ Styles at Night Two of WrestleMania 41.

We are live! Michael Cole and Pat McAfee greet audiences at home before throwing it to a video of the closing moments of last week's edition of "Raw".

Seth Rollins, Paul Heyman, and Bron Breakker then all make their way out to the ring.

Rollins welcomes fans to Monday Night Rollins and introduces himself, then brags about being the winner of the main event of Night One of WrestleMania 41. He says he knows it's a little difficult for fans who want to chant for CM Punk, then says what fans are looking at in the ring right now is the future of the professional wrestling business which all runs through himself, Heyman, and Breakker.

Sami Zayn's music hits, and he makes his way out. Rollins welcomes Zayn back and asks him if he caught WrestleMania 41, and Zayn says he did. He says he's been friends with Rollins for a long time, then says as Rollins' friend, he feels the need to tell him that what he has going on with Heyman and Breakker is a load of crap. Rollins asks Zayn what he means, and Zayn says the one thing Roman Reigns and Punk have in common is Heyman. He questions how Rollins can be different now that he has Heyman in his corner, and calls Rollins out for being hypocritical when he tries to defend himself.

Rollins says himself, Breakker, and Heyman are the vision for the future, and if you aren't with them, then you're against them. He says himself, Breakker, Heyman, and Zayn can come to an agreement and move Zayn off "Raw" if he wants. He says it's not a threat to Zayn, but rather an offer or favor. He tells Zayn to think about it.

Rhea Ripley then makes her way down to the ring. Roxanne Perez follows.

The bell rings and the two lock up. Perez looks to land a tope suicida through the bottom rope on Ripley on the outside, but Ripley catches Perez and sends her crashing into the barricade.

Ripley blocks it and runs Perez over with a clothesline, then follows it up with a vertical suplex and a dropkick that sends her crashing out of the ring.

Jey's music hits, and he makes his way down to the ring. Jey asks Paul if he really thinks he's going to just hand over the World Heavyweight Championship to him after 15 years of hard work, then says he watched GUNTHER beat down his twin brother Jimmy Uso. He says that lit a fire inside of him that's never going out, then says the World Heavyweight Championship isn't given but rather earned.

We then head backstage, where Paul Heyman approaches Sami Zayn and pleads his case as to why Zayn should accept Rollins' offer from earlier tonight to be traded to "SmackDown". He reveals to Zayn that should he choose to make the move, then he will become the new Number One Contender to the Undisputed WWE Championship after WWE Backlash.

Back from the break, Becky Lynch makes her way down to the ring.

Lynch says Bayley may have been tragically taken out at WrestleMania 41, then reveals herself as Bayley attacker. She says Bayley has attacked her non-stop since 2019 and has yet to apologize, then says Bayley seems to forget what this business is. Lynch then addresses Valkyria and explains that she was enraged seeing Valkyria align with Bayley. She says she never would've won the WWE Women's Tag Team Championship with Bayley at WrestleMania 41.

Valkyria says countless people warned her about Lynch in the back, but she didn't buy into it because of the hope she had in Lynch. She says after several Man Handle Slams, the illusion of Lynch is dead and sees Lynch for who she really is. Valkyria then slides into the ring, but Lynch retreats.

Valkyria challenges Lynch to a fight tonight, but Lynch says she fights when she wants to. Valkyria then challenges Lynch to a match at Backlash and offers to put her Women's Intercontinental Championship on the line. Lynch accepts and the two women begin to brawl, but Lynch retreats through the crowd. Valkyria heads up the ramp and to the back, but Lynch reemerges and clocks her from behind.

Ivy Nile and Chad Gable make their way out to the ring. Stephanie Vaquer follows.

The bell rings and Nile sends Vaquer crashing into the mat. Nile lands a boot on Vaquer's midsection, then runs her over with a clothesline. Vaquer sends Nile's head repeatedly bouncing off the mat, but Nile sends Vaquer crashing into the ring post on the outside and dumps her back in the ring.

She follows it up with a package backbreaker for the win.

Winner: Stephanie Vaquer

Pat McAfee grabs a microphone and says people have forgotten who he is. He says being choked out by GUNTHER last week made him realize who he was and where he came from in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. He says he has a few things he hopes that people will remember him by, including being an empathetic man, leaving the world a better place, and being loyal. He says Michael Cole had been with him since day one, then says he had no option but to protect Cole last week from GUNTHER despite what others have to say. He then calls Nick Aldis down to the ring.

Aldis appears, and McAfee says he doesn't like that Adam Pearce suspended GUNTHER. He demands Aldis lift the suspension so he can fight GUNTHER, but Aldis says he talked to Pearce about this. He says he and Pearce agreed that they wouldn't lift the suspension on Pearce, but says McAfee can square off with GUNTHER in the ring at Backlash. McAfee accepts.

Seth Rollins then makes his way out to the ring.

Rollins wastes no time calling Zayn to the ring, and Zayn makes his way down. Rollins tells Zayn that they go back a long way and he doesn't want to see anything bad happen to him. He says while Zayn may not like Bron Breakker or Paul Heyman, they're still friends with one another and he expected respect from Zayn. He says the professional wrestling business tears relationships and friendships apart, then asks Zayn how many true friends he's made and says they can be counted on one hand. He says Zayn is one of those true friends for him, then says Zayn was one of the first people he called when he became a father. He asks Zayn to allow him to return the favor, then advises Zayn to accept his offer to move to "SmackDown" so that bad things don't happen to him which he does not want.

Zayn admits everything Rollins said was true outside the ring, but it's a little different when he comes to inside the ring. He says Rollins is dangling the World Championship he has yet to win in WWE right in front of him, then asks Rollins if he's ever known him to run away from anything. He says Rollins is threatening him, and while Rollins want to make him a target, he already is one. He says he can live with being a target, but he will not be blackmailed or threatened before promising to be a World Champion without owing favors to anyone and doing it the right way.

Bron Breakker's music hits, and he makes his way out along with Paul Heyman.
