Hello and welcome to the Raw Preview.

I'm Adam Wilborn from Watkoordshire.

Join by all the Dally Boys, Michael Hanfler from Watkootcher, here to look ahead to the Raw After WrestleMania. But before we get into it, if you're a fan of this sort of thing, make sure you subscribe to WhatCultures Wrestling on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Amazon, and YouTube, where we do daily wrestling podcasts where we're not in review Raw, but also Smackdown the show, formerly known as NXD 2.

Oh, AW.

W. Under my paper views premium live where we do daily wrestling podcast where we're not in review Raw but also Smackdown the show formerly known as

NXT 2.

Oh, AW&Mite pay-per-views premium live events we have interviews, roundtable discussions and a roundup that we complete with the money of a quiz of course on wrestle culture. As I said though, joined by Michael Hamfleet in front of the beautiful beam coming out of the top of the Luxor Hotel and Casino and the Sphinx, of course, that is watching our show right now.

But we're looking ahead to the... beautiful beam coming out of the top of the Luxor Hotel and Casino and the Sphinx, of course,

that is watching our show right now.

But we're looking ahead to the Raw After WrestleMania and all the fallout from WrestleMania.

This is one of those moments.

I've said recently a lot that the Raw After WrestleMania has been, well, saved by Triple H. But after what happened tonight on night two of WrestleMania, it does really feel like appointment viewing, doesn't it? Yeah, it's funny that you use the word fallout. We like that as a bit. We don't do bits, but if we did, we talk about fallout pretty much every four weeks on the what culture wrestling podcast as it pertains to wboree

and in one case it's a fallout between the entire fan base when we talk about the fallout from night one

thankfully when we're talking about the fallout from night two it's consequences actions

storylines new pushes new champions this is always well should be always one of the more exciting roles of the year. But based on the stuff that happened to night to in particular, like, it's almost fun to, well, to see how unpredictable it's going to be for these wrestlers with so many stories finished, with so many sort of new frontiers on the horizons for some of the big winners and losers coming out of the show.'t wait yeah i was going into this not knowing anything that's actually being advertised for the show but it's very easy to speculate on what's going to be going forward on this show because like you said there's so much to deal with particularly with just what's happened today and an obvious place to start is our new world heavyweight champion, Roman Reigns, who looks

set to be sticking around for a while.

Well, I would hope so, because he's got the belt and look, I am not a straight-edge superstar,

but CM Punk is, and he held that belt and he made something special with it.

That's how we watched that main event take place last night for what we somewhat affectionately called a Seth belt. Now Roman Raines has it. He talks in big terms about how WWE is going to go back to the way it was when I was back on top of it. I have the wildest, daftest idea for what Roman Rain should do with this title rating, but let's assume for a second he's not going to do that. And we'll talk about that in just a minute. Roman Raines kicking off raw, or kicking off the new WWE calendar year, I guess, going to next year's WrestleMania, with this world title is brand new. Yeah. It is brand new, a raw world champion, a returning full-time Roman Raines potentially. All this talk about the fact that the tribal chief could be re-signing in May, does that mean he's back making towns? Yeah. I don't even know what I don't know about Roman Reigns yet, and that is what is so fascinating. It's very likely either him or punk will open the show to probably address not just the match, but whatever comes for them next. And from Roman Reins, are we hanging on every word?

Yeah, I'm really, really excited. It's different from the raw after WrestleMania we went to a few years ago, where we just got Roman Reins basically making us wait for two, three hours to say, acknowledge me at the end of all of that. I don't think that's going to happen. I don't know what to expect, because like you say, I think a lot of us went into today thinking if Roman leaves as World Heavyweight Champion,

it's going to be a part of a new version maybe of the bloodline. He'd just be punk, plunk, punk clean though. And now, in terms of what's next to him, it's difficult, isn't it? Because we're going to sit here and we're going to talk about Oberfemmy or we could speculate about Gunther or people like that.

LA Knight is another name that could be mentioned.
