WWE RAW may have gone off the air with Roman Reigns spearing Bronson Reed through the timekeeper’s barricade—but the real insanity kicked off after the cameras stopped rolling.

Fan footage from Madison Square Garden revealed that the post-show scene was even wilder than what viewers saw on television. Once RAW faded to black, the brawl between the men’s WarGames teams kept going—with chaos breaking out all around the ring.

In the video shared on social media, Cody Rhodes was spotted outside the ring, kendo stick in hand, swinging at anyone in his way. Inside the ring, The Usos unleashed a brutal superkick party on Bron Breakker and Logan Paul, dropping both of them to the mat.

Then came the exclamation point—Cody Rhodes sent Drew McIntyre crashing through the announce table, leaving MSG erupting in noise. And then came the moment that made the night feel like a true sendoff. CM Punk grabbed a mic and addressed the MSG crowd in honor of John Cena’s final appearance on RAW. But instead of sarcasm, Punk gave fans a moment to remember.

“And it kills me to say this because I used to have to lay up at the lights and listen to that damn song,” Punk told the crowd. “Duh, duh, duh, duuhhhhh. Duh, duh, duh, duuuuuhhhhh. But, I think we’ve gotta end the night with that song… so play John Cena’s music.”

With that, Cena’s iconic theme played one last time at the Garden as CM Punk hit the “You Can’t See Me” taunt to send fans home with the perfect blend of nostalgia and chaos.

If the TV broadcast was wild, the MSG crowd got a bonus dose of pure unfiltered WWE mayhem—and it all happened once the lights dimmed and the red light turned off.
