Top five storylines to watch out for on WWE Raw tonight (March 17, 2025)

John Cena will make his return on this week’s episode

The Stamford-based promotion kicked off its European tour on the road to WrestleMania 41 with the 03/14 show of Friday Night SmackDown which emanated from Barcelona, Spain. The promotion is now travelling to Brussels, Belgium.

The 03/17 episode of Monday Night Raw is set to emanate live from the Forest National in Brussels, Belgium. Multiple matches and segments have been announced for the show, which also has a special early starts time of 3:00 PM ET.

The show will feature John Cena’s return following his heel turn at the Elimination Chamber PLE. A No Holds Barred match has also been announced, along with two singles matches and an Intercontinental Title match. Here are the top five storylines to keep an eye on in this week’s WWE Raw.

5. WWE Women’s Intercontinental Championship

On the last week’s episode, Raquel Rodriguez defeated Bayley to become the #1 contender to the WWE Women’s Intercontinental Championship. Dakota Kai is now set to battle Ivy Nile and while both stars have failed at capturing the IC title currently held by Lyra Valkyria, they will likely make their case after their clash on this week’s episode.

4. Gunther – Jey Uso

The World Heavyweight Champion Gunther has been at Jey Uso‘s throat since the latter picked him after winning the men’s Royal Rumble match. Gunther last week ambushed Jey after his singles match against Grayson Waller and put him to sleep. Jey is now set to battle Austin Theory this week and he will have to keep an eye out for the Heavyweight Champion.

3. Chad Gable masters the ‘dark’ art of luchadores

On the last week’s episode, American Made’s leader Chad Gable made his return after his quest of mastering the ‘dark’ arts of luchadores. It seemed like he was the masked man who ambushed Rey Mysterio and Dragon Lee during the tornado tag match. However, it was later revealed that he was not the attacker, it would be interesting to see what his next step is after mastering the ‘dark’ arts of luchadores.

2. Intercontinental Championship

Intercontinental Champion Bron Breakker is set to defend his title against Judegement Day’s leader Finn Balor. While Breakker was able to fend off the Judgement Day earlier when Balor tried to gang up on him, he might face similar problems during the match, on the other hand, Balor losing the match would be very humiliating for him as he is struggling to keep control of the Judgment Day faction.

1. John Cena – Cody Rhodes

As mentioned above the show will feature the return of John Cena after the Chamber PLE where he turned heel and attacked Cody Rhodes. The Undisputed WWE Champion has been itching to get his hand on Cena to get some answers.

The Miz tried to ask some ‘hard-hitting’ questions to Cody on the 03/14 show of SmackDown, but Rhodes made it clear that he does not want to talk to someone unless their name is John Cena. It will be intriguing to see how this segment unfolds between the two ahead of WrestleMania 41.

What will happen when John Cena comes face-to-face with Cody Rhodes? Will the Judgement Day aid Finn Balor or will he fail in his attempt to capture the IC title? Let us know your predictions in the comments section.
