WWE Monday Night RAW took place from the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York. Here’s all the action that went down the night after Wrestlemania.
WWE Champion Kofi Kingston confronted Universal Champion Seth Rollins
The champ, is here. Or should I say champs? After Wrestelmania 35 ended, the WWE had two new primary champions, in the form of Kofi Kingston and Seth Rollins. Both men had climbed over massive obstacles to grab the gold, but Kingston wasn’t happy with just having the WWE Championship. His solution? A winner takes all match against Seth Rollins, for later in the night. A bout that the Kingslayer was only too happy to accept.

While the night after Wrestlemania may be a time for new beginnings, it’s also a time for stories to end. Such was the case with Dean Ambrose, whose storied career in the WWE has wrapped up, as the lunatic fringe decided to go out in a laze of glory and tackle Bobby Lashley after he made some disparaging remarks regarding Renee Young.

A big boot, a chokeslam and a tombstone piledriver quickly annihilated Elias, ending his night on RAW.
