WWE Raw after WrestleMania 42 opened on Monday, April 20, in Las Vegas with ethan page positioned as the night’s newest roster addition. The show moved from Allegiant Stadium to T-Mobile Arena after the two-night WrestleMania 42 event, and the buzz around the first post-event Raw centered on what comes next.
Las Vegas gets the first post-Mania shake-up
The latest Raw came just after Roman Reigns dethroned CM Punk to begin his first run with the World Heavyweight Championship, while the card also reflected the fallout from a weekend that reshaped several title pictures. Reigns said he would be a full-time champion, setting the tone for the first major show after WrestleMania 42.
Another major talking point was Oba Femi, who defeated Brock Lesnar in less than five minutes during WrestleMania 42 Night 2. Femi’s rise was already being framed as one of the biggest stories coming out of the weekend, and his potential direction remains a focal point for the brand moving forward.
Lesnar’s future was also left open after he removed his gloves and boots in the ring following the loss. Paul Heyman is scheduled to address Lesnar’s future on tonight’s show, adding another layer to an already loaded first episode after the big event.
Ethan Page steps into the spotlight
The most immediate roster move of the night was the introduction of ethan page as the newest member of the Raw roster. He was set for his first match tonight against Je’Von Evans, giving the crowd an early look at a fresh name entering the red brand after WrestleMania 42.
That placement matters because the first Raw after WrestleMania is often where WWE begins resetting the board for the months ahead. In this case, Page’s arrival came alongside other notable first appearances, including new women’s world champions Rhea Ripley and Liv Morgan.
Champions, returns, and first impressions
Raw also featured Rhea Ripley and Iyo Sky in tag team action against Asuka and Kairi Sane. Ripley and Sky picked up the win with the Over The Moonsault, while the match was described as giving the four women enough time to work without feeling rushed.
That result added to a night built around movement and momentum, with the show using the post-Mania atmosphere to highlight emerging names and championship changes. Penta and Logan Paul were also billed to be in the building, underlining how packed the night was with attention-grabbing names.
What the first Raw after Mania is signaling
The broader message from Las Vegas is clear: WWE is using the Raw after WrestleMania 42 to establish the next chapter quickly. Reigns’ championship run, Lesnar’s uncertainty, and the arrival of ethan page all point to a night focused on reset and reaction, with the roster being reshaped in real time.
With Raw starting at 8 p. m. ET, the next wave of developments will come from how WWE handles the fallout from WrestleMania 42 and whether Page’s debut turns into a larger push. For now, the spotlight in Las Vegas is firmly on ethan page and the new direction opening up around him.
