Ups & Downs - WWE Raw Review (March 30th)

Simon Miller of WhatCulture Wrestling delivers a chaotic, energetic review of WWE Raw from March 30th, dissecting the show's highs and lows with his signature blend of humor and critique. The episode kicks off with a dramatic confrontation between Cody Rhodes and Stephanie McMahon, setting up the Cody vs. Randy Orton feud with mixed results—while the segment's theatricality is praised, the narrative direction is criticized for undermining the real-life history between the two. The Usos' tag team title win in a wild street fight, fueled by I Show Speed's cursed antics and Logan Paul's mother, earns a comedic 'up' despite its absurdity. Liv Morgan's feud with Stephanie Vakere gains momentum with Roxanne Perez's surprise return, while the women's tag team title match is downgraded due to repetitive disqualifications and lack of creative buildup. The standout moment comes with Oba Femi's explosive entrance and confrontation with Brock Lesnar, which Miller calls the most electric moment of the night and a potential WrestleMania main event. Finn Balor's promo and the announcement of his WrestleMania match against Dominik Mysterio are also praised. The Intercontinental title ladder match announcement is mocked for its last-minute reveal, but the Seth Rollins vs. Gunther match is salvaged by its sheer unpredictability and potential for a show-stealing performance. The episode concludes with a fiery CM Punk vs. Roman Reigns brawl, which Miller applauds for its intensity and storytelling. Despite the show's randomness and over-reliance on interference, Miller ultimately gives Raw a positive verdict, citing its entertainment value and rising WrestleMania momentum.
