WrestleMania 41 had it all — high-octane matches, unexpected appearances, and long-standing beefs coming to a head in epic fashion. After months of chaotic brawls, verbal jousting, and contract signings, the time for talking was done and two electric nights (April 19–20) featured eight championship matches and numerous scores being settled at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas.

But before the storm even has a chance to calm, the action continues. On Monday, April 21 the Raw after WrestleMania begins, and it’s one of the WWE’s biggest shows of the year. Let’s climb up to the top rope and dive into what you can expect from the special episode of Raw, and recap the drama leading up to it.

What is the significance of Raw after WrestleMania?

WWE has no offseason, but if it did, WrestleMania would be the season finale, and the Raw after WrestleMania would be the following season’s premiere, opening the door to everything from fresh storylines to shocking debuts and returning superstars. Let’s take a moment to revisit history and look at a handful of the most memorable Raw after WrestleMania moments over the past two decades.

• In 2003 Goldberg made his debut, confronting The Rock.
• In 2013 Dolph Ziggler cashed in his Money in the Bank briefcase to win the World Heavyweight Championship.
• in 2014 Paige made the jump from NXT to Raw, winning the Divas Championship in her first match on the main roster.
• In 2017 Roman Reigns iconically addressed a hostile audience after defeating the Undertaker at WrestleMania 33. 

It’s a safe bet that you can anticipate some fireworks. So, what might happen this year? Here’s what we know.
