The Monday Night Raw after Wrestlemania is reliably one of the most-viewed Raws of the year. It’s an opportunity to unpack the results from the biggest live event on the calendar and begin new storylines, often with debuting talent eager to shine in front of a raucous audience.
Paul “Triple H” Levesque, the superstar-turned-executive, jumped on this opportunity. He opened the show in the center of the ring, launching into a long promo about how things weren’t going to change now that the company had been bought by Endeavor. He promised the storylines and development he’d ushered in over the nine months since longtime CEO Vince McMahon retired would remain in place, carrying the banner of one of the WWE’s most popular stretches in recent history.
