In an unforgettable night at WWE RAW on February 24, 2025, fans were treated to an electrifying show featuring the much-anticipated return of CM Punk, an intense verbal exchange with Logan Paul, and a seismic shift in the women’s tag team division. The event, held at the Heritage Bank Center in Cincinnati, Ohio, set the stage for the upcoming Elimination Chamber, leaving fans eagerly anticipating what’s next.
CM Punk and Logan Paul Engage in a Verbal Showdown
The night kicked off with a dramatic confrontation between CM Punk and Logan Paul. Logan, hailing from Ohio, attempted to charm the hometown crowd but was quickly met with boos. His remarks about the city and his intent to become the face of WWE at the Elimination Chamber only intensified the crowd’s reaction. CM Punk’s entrance music erupted, cutting off Paul’s tirade and igniting the arena with chants of Punk’s name.
The confrontation escalated as Paul accused Punk of being envious of his success outside the ring, whereas Punk dismissed Paul’s bravado as shallow. Punk reminded everyone of his legacy, promising to eliminate Paul at the Elimination Chamber and setting his sights on a WrestleMania showdown with Cody Rhodes. The exchange ended with Paul slapping Punk, promising a fiery encounter in the chamber.
Women’s Tag Team Championship
The main event saw Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez dethrone Bianca Belair and Naomi to become the new WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions. The match was rife with drama as Dominik Mysterio played a pivotal role, distracting the defending champions and aiding Morgan and Rodriguez. The decisive moment came when Rodriguez slammed Naomi into the corner post, allowing Morgan to secure the pin and clinch the titles.
This victory marks Morgan and Rodriguez’s third reign as tag team champions, their first since joining the Judgment Day faction. Belair and Naomi’s 73-day title run came to an end, with Naomi stepping in for the injured Jade Cargill back in December 2024.
Implications and Looking Ahead to Elimination Chamber
