The Street Profits Make a Triumphant Return

The April 20 episode of WWE Raw after WrestleMania 42 was highlighted by the long-awaited return of The Street Profits, Montez Ford and Angelo Dawkins. After a six-month hiatus from WWE television, they stormed the ring to assist Seth Rollins against the reigning WWE World Champions, Logan Paul and Austin Theory. This was a big moment, as it not only reestablishes the Street Profits in the tag team division but also sets the stage for potential title contention against The Vision. Their presence adds much-needed depth to a somewhat stagnant tag scene, making this a smart booking decision for WWE as they look to revitalize interest in their tag team division [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12].

Ethan Page Officially Joins WWE Raw

In another significant move, Ethan Page made his official debut on WWE Raw, announcing his intentions to target the WWE Intercontinental Champion, Penta. During a backstage segment, he confronted Je’Von Evans, and later defeated him in a match. This immediate impact is crucial for Page, as he positions himself as a serious contender for championship gold right out of the gate. Given his background as a former NXT Champion, Page's arrival could signal a new era for the mid-card titles on Raw [13][14][15][16][17][18][19].

Jacob Fatu Challenges Roman Reigns

Jacob Fatu made waves by interrupting Roman Reigns on Raw, challenging him for the World Heavyweight Championship at WWE Backlash. This confrontation not only teases an exciting family rivalry but also positions Fatu as a formidable challenger right out of the gate. Reigns’ reign as champion is off to a hot start, and this potential clash could serve as a major storyline for the coming weeks, especially with the Bloodline dynamics at play [26][27][28][29][30][31].

Sol Ruca Debuts, Faces Liv Morgan

Sol Ruca made her debut on Raw, crashing Liv Morgan's championship celebration and setting up an impromptu match. Although Ruca ultimately lost, her arrival signals WWE's commitment to elevating new talent in the women's division. This is significant as the women's landscape continues to evolve, particularly with Morgan now holding the Women's World Championship. Ruca's introduction could lead to interesting storylines moving forward, especially if she continues to target the champion [20][21][22][23].

CM Punk Addresses Loss and Teases Future Match with Cody Rhodes

CM Punk opened up about his recent loss to Roman Reigns at WrestleMania, revealing personal struggles and thanking fans for their support. This emotional segment quickly escalated into a heated confrontation with Cody Rhodes, hinting at a potential future title match. Punk's ability to connect with the audience while spotlighting his rivalry with Rhodes adds layers to both characters, making this feud one to watch as it unfolds [46][47][48][49][50][51].

Upcoming Highlights

Looking ahead, the April 27 episode of Raw promises to be action-packed, featuring appearances from Becky Lynch and Joe Hendry, who will perform a live concert. With the fallout from WrestleMania still fresh, expect more surprises and developments as WWE builds towards Backlash [32][33][34][36].

AEW

AEW Collision Viewership Sees Increase

The April 16 episode of AEW Collision saw a notable increase in viewership, drawing 473,000 viewers, up from 423,000 the previous week. This surge indicates a growing interest in the product, especially with a stacked lineup that featured compelling storylines. The ratings boost is a positive sign for AEW as they look to maintain momentum in a competitive wrestling landscape [128][129].

TNA / Impact

TNA iMPACT Viewership Drops

In stark contrast, TNA iMPACT! experienced a significant drop in viewership, averaging just 212,000 viewers, marking a 17.5% decline from the previous week. This downturn poses challenges for TNA, especially as they strive to compete against AEW's rising numbers. It’s crucial for TNA to rethink their strategies to regain lost viewership and interest [132][133].
