WRESTLEMANIA IS THREE WEEKS FROM SATURDAY!

🔴 Shayna Baszler turns her back on Ronda Rousey: 12min*

At WrestleMania, Ronda Rousey is set to have two championship matches, one with Raw Women's Champion Charlotte Flair, and one with Raw Women's Champion Becky Lynch.

This past Friday on SmackDown, Ronda Rousey paired with Shayna Baszler to battle Flair & Lynch!

Everything was looking great and "Too good to be true" for Ronda Rousey when she won that tag match with Baszler, but on her arrival to Raw this week with Baszler, Rousey talked about what it meant for her to have Baszler looking after her, what she didn't know, is that Baszler doesn't look after anyone but herself.

Shayna Baszler turned the emotional moment to a sad day for Rousey when Baszler betrayed her and left her with a broken back in the middle of the ring. How will this effect Ronda Rousey as WrestleMania approaches?

🔻 BACKSTAGE: AWE-MOS is the most dominent team on Raw.

Intercontinental Champion The Miz makes a bold claim about being the most dominant team on Raw with Omos, and Omos will prove it one more time when he defeats the WWE Champion Bobby Lashley tonight!

🔴 Carmella & Aliyah vs. Alexa Bliss & Sasha Banks: 7min*

Last week on Raw, Carmella & Aliyah "FIABESCO" interfered in Alexa Bliss & Sasha Banks' match against Doudrop & Nikki A.S.H, where they attacked everyone!

Tonight, Bliss & Banks look to make "FIABESCO" pay for their actions.

Bliss & Banks win!

🔻 BACKSTAGE: Seth Rollins to burn Kane into crisps tonight.

Before his inferno match with Kane, Seth "Freakin" Rollins is confident he will beat Kane in his own game and thus send a message to his brother The Undertaker ahead of WrestleMania.

🔴 Madcap Moss w/ Corbin vs. Shinsuke Nakamura w/ Boogs: 8min*

It all started due to an accidental punch from Happy Corbin to the face of Nakamura.

Last week on Raw, Nakamura & Boogs defeated Corbin & Moss but can Madcap Moss change the result when he goes toe to toe with Nakamura?

Nakamura wins.

🔻 BACKSTAGE: AJ Styles may or may not interfere in Bobby Lashley's match

Royal Rumble winner AJ Styles is still looking to demonstrate what a "Fair Classic Wrestling Match" is to Bobby Lashley. Is tonight his chance to explain to Bobby Lashley that it should be a one-on-one match with no interferences, or will AJ Styles be blinded with his eagerness for revenge?

🔴 Charlotte Flair and Becky Lynch have some unfinished business: 10min*

SmackDown Women's Champion Becky Lynch and Raw Women's Champion Charlotte Flair were reminded this past Friday on SmackDown that they can't co-exist because of their storied history when they lost to Ronda Rousey & Shayna Baszler in a Tag Team Main Event match.

This week, the two champions stood from across each other where they both pointed out each other's weaknesses and both claimed Rousey would beat the other at WrestleMania.

They even went further to agree on a Champions Showcase next week, where Lynch and Flair could settle their differences one-on-one on Raw!

➕ BREAKING NEWS: The Undertaker has been inducted into the 2023 Class of the WWE Hall of Fame this past weekend!

🔴 Bobby Lashley vs. Omos w/ The Miz: 14min*

The clash of titans! The WWE Champion Bobby Lashley faces Omos on Raw!

At WrestleMania, Bobby Lashley will defend the WWE Title against Royal Rumble Match winner AJ Styles!

Two weeks ago on Raw, AJ Styles won a WrestleMania Test against Omos but it didn't go as planned, first meant to be a "fair match" with no interferences, turned to a chaotic brawl when Lashley speared Omos accidently.

This week, Omos looks for revenge against a returning Bobby Lashley who has not been seen on Raw last week.

After a shocking test of strength, Bobby Lashley won the contest via DQ due to an ambush from AJ Styles, who earlier in the night promised he may or may not interfere in Lashley's match!

Ricochet looks to continue riding the wave of momentum when he faces Finn Balor live on Raw!

Finn Balor defeats Ricochet in a crushing contest.

🔴 Sam Rigleer pounces on Ted DiBiase Jr. during special announcement: 13min*

Sam Rigleer and Ted DiBiase have been one of the all-time great factions to ever step foot in an FBW ring, but their team has fallen apart years ago when Sam Rigleer pursued his own interests on Raw while Ted DiBiase held the WWE Title briefly on SmackDown during the very first brand extension. Ted DiBiase would then exit WWE for personal reasons. Since then, Ted DiBiase and Sam Rigleer have never looked eye-to-eye, but several weeks ago on Raw's 15 Year anniversary, Ted DiBiase made his return to WWE for the first time in years for a one-on-one faceoff with a returning Sam Rigleer. The confrontation didn't go as planned when Ted DiBiase refused to rejoin Sam Rigleer to reform RRD, an ancient faction of Ted, Sam, and Roman Reigns. Sam Rigleer disputed the decision as a cowardly move and that Ted DiBiase just doesn't have "it" anymore.

And last week on Raw, Sam Rigleer offered one last chance for Ted DiBiase, claiming the two would either be together like old times, or Ted DiBiase must compete in the ring with Sam Rigleer to prove he still got it. Tonight on Raw, Ted DiBiase Jr. made his entrance to deliver news that his father "Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase will be inducted in the 2023 Hall of Fame Class, but during this dear announcement, Sam Rigleer launched an ambush on DiBiase, perhaps for ignoring the ultimatum set by Rigleer last week! Where are things going between Rigleer & DiBiase?!

⭕ MAIN EVENT: Kane vs. Seth "Freakin" Rollins - Inferno Match: 14min*

Seth Rollins felt the wrath of The Brothers of Destruction during Raw's 15 Years Anniversary! Kane attacked him after weeks of Rollins calling out The Deadman. And The Undertaker continued the job later in the same night and at the Elimination Chamber.

Seth Rollins claimed he still wants to show the world that the vision he saw is true and will combat the force of The Undertaker who got in his way, to prove that The Undertaker's attacks have 0 effects on Seth Rollins and his journey.

Last week on Raw, Kane addressed Seth Rollins face-to-face when he delivered a message from The Undertaker that: "He'll see you at WrestleMania"

Kane wasn't done there, and went on to deliver a chilling news to Rollins revealing that Rollins will face him next week on Raw on the "Road To WrestleMania"! But during this past weekend, Seth Rollins wanted to make this match special and suggested making it an "Inferno Match" which Kane 'gladly' accepted!

Tonight on Raw, Kane and Seth Rollins went to hell inside of a ring surrounded by fire from every possible direction. The two take each other to the limit before Mustafa Ali, Seth Rollins' Vision Enforcer, got involved.

Ali threw a fireball at Kane and helped Rollins pin him in the middle of the ring before sending him flying into the fire.

The Visionary delivered on his promise by burning Kane. How will The Undertaker react to his brother put on fire by Rollins?!
