As the WWE Universe tuned in on the 29th of April, 2024, they were greeted with an episode of Monday Night Raw that promised to reshape the landscape of professional wrestling. The continuation of the 2024 WWE Draft was set to take place, and anticipation was high for the surprises that lay in store.
The night kicked off with the return of Stephanie McMahon, who made her presence felt immediately. The WWE Draft saw its second night unfold with six rounds of picks, where both Raw and SmackDown made crucial selections to bolster their rosters. With NXT talent also eligible, the draft was a pivotal moment for many rising stars looking to make their mark on the main stage.
United States Champion Logan Paul graced the ring, bringing with him the charisma and controversy that have become his trademarks. His appearance added another layer of excitement to an already electrifying night.
The action reached a fever pitch when Jey Uso teamed up with Ricochet and Andrade to face The Judgment Day in a Six-Man Tag Team Match. This showdown was more than just a battle for supremacy; it was a prelude to the World Heavyweight Title match at Backlash France, where “Main Event” Jey Uso is set to challenge Damian Priest for the coveted championship.
Last week’s victory by Ricochet and Andrade over JD McDonagh and Santos Escobar set the stage for this confrontation. The Judgment Day, led by World Heavyweight Champion Finn Bálor and McDonagh, were eager to reassert their dominance after the setback. The six superstars clashed in a match that showcased their athleticism and determination, leaving the WWE Universe on the edge of their seats².
As the dust settled on the 29th of April, Monday Night Raw left fans with moments to remember and plenty to speculate about. The draft’s impact on the future of WWE was undeniable, and as superstars found new homes, alliances were formed, and rivalries ignited, one thing was clear: the road to Backlash France and beyond would be anything but predictable.
