The fallout from WrestleMania continued on Monday Night RAW as Seth Rollins had trouble accepting his loss to Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania 38. A new champion was crowned and a chaotic wedding ensued. We look at what happened on RAW in this article.
Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins kicked off the show with an in-ring confrontation. Rollins again claimed that he lost to Rhodes only because the latter had an early advantage by knowing who his opponent was. This led Rollins to throw down a challenge that Rhodes face the same situation later in the night, facing a mystery opponent which Rhodes quickly accepted.

Cody Rhodes vs Kevin Owens
Owens was the unsurprising choice for Rhodes’ opponent and Rollins eventually made his way to ringside to watch the match.

Rhodes, frustrated with not getting the clean win, stood on the top turnbuckle facing the fans when Rollins blindsided him, sending him spilling to the floor to end the show.
