Randy Orton nearly passed out during an entrance so we’ll see what went down there.
As well as some stories with The Undertaker, Raw After Wrestlemania, and much more
Let’s start things off with this Randy Orton story
This story and reveal actually came from Randy Orton’s wife, Kim Orton
Kim appeared on the Wives of Wrestling podcast and discussed what Randy Orton almost went
through during his entrance at Wrestlemania 37
Kim revealed that if you go back and watch Randy Orton’s entrance from Wrestlemania
37, he’s getting so fired up and pumped up that he holds his breath for a few seconds
and gets extremely lightheaded on his way down to the ring
Kim revealed that Orton nearly passed out on the spot due to that lightheaded feeling
As far as an update for everything else Randy Orton related, He will be the first-ever WWE
Superstar to enter WrestleMania as a Tag Team Champion, a WWE Champion, a World Heavyweight
Champion, a United States Champion, and an Intercontinental Champion after Wrestlemania
38, so just another massive accomplishment there for Orton
He’s also currently in his second reign as WWE tag team champions with Riddle
Orton and Riddle won the tag team titles twice in under a year, so probably one of Orton’s
most successful tag teams that he’s ever been a part of
They’ve been together coming up on a year this April, so we’ll see how that story
continues to unfold
Everyone assumes that we’ll definitely see a Randy Orton versus Riddle feud once their
tag team days are over, but the question that still remains unanswered is: who will be the
one to turn heel?
Common sense tells you that it’ll be Randy Orton, but you never know, maybe WWE takes
the unexpected route and turns Riddle, so we’ll have to see how that story unfolds
—————
A big part of Wrestlemania weekend besides the event itself is obviously the Raw after
Wrestlemania
We briefly touched on this earlier in the week, but we haven’t seen a full Raw after
Wrestlemania with fans since 2019
It’s so crazy to think that we haven’t seen that full Raw after Wrestlemania episode
in three full years
The 2020 and 2021 Raw after Wrestlemanias both took place in empty arenas, so this will
be the first time in a long time that we see fans back at this show
It’s always an electrifying crowd because all the fans that came from around the globe
for Wrestlemania usually stick around and attend Raw too
So having a big mix of wrestling fans from all over the world at the Raw after Wrestlemania
usually results in a very alive crowd
They’ve invented chants, gestures, and just anything else you can think off over the years,
so that Raw crowd itself is also a big selling point of the show
Reports have provided an update on this year’s Raw after Wrestlemania, they claim that this
year’s show will be written and treated like the way it always was prior to 2020
It’ll have big surprises, big debuts, big unexpected twists and much more
What can we actually expect to see on that Raw after Wrestlemania?
Well there’s not that much information out there at the moment, but the possibilities
are really endless
Like we mentioned before, the Raw after Wrestlemania is a great return place for the missing Alexa
Bliss
If Bianca Belair is the new champion after Wrestlemania, Alexa Bliss technically has
a case for revenge towards her thanks to the events of Elimination Chamber
So that’s a massive return that fits into the category and theme for a Raw after Wrestlemania
episode
Alexa hasn’t appeared on Raw since September 2021, so it’s been a long time coming, maybe
this is a good return spot for her
The long awaited debut of Veer has already been confirmed for the Raw after Wrestlemania,
so there’s one confirmed appearance
Then you have other rumors like the debut of Gable Steve-son, who continues to tease
the idea of being around during wrestlemania week and he’s already a member for Raw,
so he’s another possibility
If Cody Rhodes returns at Wrestlemania, he’ll definitely have some sort of segment on the
Raw after Wrestlemania that maybe we can hear him speak at
Maybe we’ll also get an appearance from possibly a set of new women’s tag team champions
And of course, the winner of the Wrestlemania 38 main event should also be on Raw to celebrate
their historic unification victory
So if it’s Brock Lesnar, if it’s Roman Reigns, whoever is the Unified WWE champion
after Wrestlemania should most definitely make an appearance on the Raw after Wrestlemania
If WWE fully goes through with the idea of unifying both world titles then this champion
does have the responsibility of appearing on both shows from now on
They just can’t call themselves a Smackdown superstar and only appear on Smackdown
This champion after Wrestlemania will technically be the champion for both Raw and Smackdown,
so it makes full sense for them to appear on this edition of Raw 24 hours after their
victory and have a moment on the show
So if the Raw after Wrestlemania looks anything like what we just went over right there then
we’ll definitely have a lot to discuss coming out of that show, so we’ll see what’s
coming up for the Raw after Wrestlemania

So when it comes to Seth Rollins’ Wrestlemania story, everyone thinks that his surprise opponent
will be Cody Rhodes
But Bully Ray recently shared his idea for Seth’s surprise appearance and said that
he’ll like to see The Undertaker as the surprise opponent for Seth Rollins
Bully Ray had this to say during Busted Open, quote:
“it would be a hell of a surprise.
Let's say that Seth Rollins stages his sit-in.
'I'm going to hijack WrestleMania?'
Have we ever seen anybody hijack WrestleMania?
Seth Rollins is going to hijack WrestleMania.
'This show does not go on until I get an opponent.'
'[Undertaker's theme plays]' - place is going to go bananas.”
end quote
Bully’s idea is getting mixed reaction because some fans really liked the unique send off
that The Undertaker got with the Bone-Yard match at Wrestlemania 36
It was a cinematic match that was shot like a movie, had an entire set, and took long
time to complete
It was a unique way to send off one of the most unique WWE superstars of all time, so
fans have been very happy with that end for The Undertaker
But on the flip side, you do have your fans that are saying “Undertaker never had a
proper goodbye in the middle of the ring with fans.”
So it’s one of those things where the fans are split on
But Bully Ray’s idea would definitely be a surprise
Seth Rollins goes out there and tries to hijack Wrestlemania, well what better individual
to defend Wrestlemania than The Undertaker, a man whose career really elevated and went
to a whole other level at Wrestlemania for twenty plus years
The Undertaker will be backstage at Wrestlemania since he will be part of the Hall Of Fame
class induction, but no one expects him to be the one to answer Seth’s demand
So it really would’ve been an insane surprise and like Bully Ray said, the crowd would go
crazy because no one saw that coming
But then again, it wouldn’t really be this outstanding 20 minute long match, it would
probably have to be something similar to what we saw at Wrestlemania 34 with The Undertaker
and John Cena
Something short, something quick, that Taker can just pick up a quick win
So it’s likely not happening, but it was still a fun scenario to go over and discuss
We’ll have to see what actually ends up happening at Wrestlemania 38 and if Seth Rollins
does get a big match that he’s been after for so long
