WWE Raw results, recap, grades: The Rock brutalizes Cody Rhodes, leaves him bloodied to close the show
Cody Rhodes had done all the right things and seemingly hit all the right notes ahead of his two main event matches at WrestleMania 40. That changed on Monday night when Rhodes was the victim of a brutal attack at the hands of The Rock. Rhodes and Rock came face-to-face at the start of the show, with Rock making a surprise appearance and whispering a message to "The American Nightmare." What was said in that whisper became clear at the end of the night as The Rock manhandled Rhodes before drawing literal blood as Raw went off the air.

Monday Night Raw Results
- Ricochet def. JD McDonagh via pinfall with a shooting star press onto a standing McDonagh. Judgment Day told McDonagh to handle the "Ricochet problem" only for Ricochet to win his third straight match against Judgment Day.
- As promised, CM Punk was in attendance in his hometown, and as expected, it didn't take long after he entered the ring for Punk to be joined by Drew McIntyre and Seth Rollins. After some back-and0forth by the three men, Punk briefly teased a special guest referee spot for when McIntyre challenges Rollins for the world heavyweight championship at WrestleMania, but ultimately said he would be on commentary where he'd do something neither man had been able to do themselves -- make both men interesting. An irate McIntyre entered the ring after Punk left only to be met by a Rollins superkick and stomp.
- Candice LeRae def. Ivy Nile via pinfall after faking a knee injury and using the ropes to help her score the pin.
- The New Day vs. #DIY ended in a no contest after Judgment Day ran in and attacked both teams. R-Truth and Miz were on commentary and though Truth tried to fight off the entire Judgment Day, he was eventually taken down as well.
- Andrade def. Giovanni Vinci via pinfall with The Message.
- Becky Lynch and Rhea Ripley brawled after Lynch interrupted a Ripley promo. Lynch dropped Dominik Mysterio with a punch before the brawl, only for Ripley to send her shoulder-first into the ring post.
- Bronson Reed def. Sami Zayn via pinfall with a Tsunami. Zayn was distracted after Gunther came out from backstage to watch the match from the entrance ramp.
