WRESTLEMANIA IS 6 WEEKS AWAY!

🔴 AJ Styles wants a "fair" WrestleMania match against Bobby Lashley: 14min*

Last weekend at the Elimination Chamber premium live event, WWE Champion successfully defended the WWE Title against 5 other superstars in an Elimination Chamber match! This means Royal Rumble match winner AJ Styles will be challenging him for the WWE Title at WrestleMania!

Tonight on Raw, during a face-to-face with Bobby Lashley, AJ Styles demanded a "fair" match against Bobby Lashley, a head-to-head match, with no interferences and no-one at ringside, a "classic wrestling match". AJ Styles also said he will demonstrate what a "fair" match is when he faces Omos later in the night!

🔻 BACKSTAGE: The Bella Twins are on Raw for the champagnes!

The new Women's Tag Team Champions The Bella Twins are here on Raw for celebration following their historic win on last week's big episode of Raw, Raw's 15 Year Celebration!

🔴 Carmella & Aliyah vs. Io Shirai & Naomi: 8min*

It has been many weeks since Carmella & Aliyah were after Io Shirai, and tonight on Raw, Io Shirai has a surprise tag partner to help her "end it for all" against Carmella & Aliyah's continuous games.

Who is Io Shirai's perfect tag team partner?

It's Naomi!

Naomi & Io Shirai defeat Carmella & Aliyah.

🔻 BACKSTAGE: Omos will be AJ Styles' WrestleMania Test.

🔴 Charlotte Flair believes Ronda Rousey has already "lost" at WrestleMania: 14min*

Ronda Rousey won the Royal Rumble match and declared she'll challenge Becky Lynch at WrestleMania for the SmackDown Women's Title, but that is not all. On last weekend's Elimination Chamber premium live event, Ronda Rousey inserted herself into the Elimination Chamber match where the winner would face the Raw Women's Champion at WrestleMania. She went on to win the whole match and competed again in the same night, alongside Brock Lesnar, against Becky Lynch & Roman Reigns in "The Biggest Mixed Tag Team Match".

Tonight on Raw, Charlotte Flair tries to make Ronda Rousey doubt herself en route to WrestleMania by saying to Rousey that she already "lost" at WrestleMania, 6 weeks before the show. And that is because Ronda Rousey can't beat WWE's top athletes in Charlotte & Becky Lynch, in separate matches on the same weekend.

🔴 Happy Corbin vs. Apollo Crews: 9min*

In a rematch from Elimination Chamber, Happy Corbin goes one on one with Apollo Crews!

Happy Corbin defeats Apollo Crews, but after the match Shinsuke Nakamura straight up "punched" Happy Corbin and left!

During Shinsuke Nakamura's interview last week on Raw, a brawl broke out between Crews and Corbin where Happy Corbin "accidently" hit Shinsuke Nakamura. Is this why Nakamura retaliated this week?

🔴 The Demon King sends a cryptic message to The Miz during Miz TV: 12min*

The Intercontinental Champion The Miz hosts a Miz TV episode with special guest, his tag team partner and protégé, Omos!

The pair talk about dominating Raw, their new name "AWE-MOS" which means Awesome and Omos so it's AWE like O in Omos, how great things have been since they became partners in the ring, and how things were downhill with AJ Styles.

They also talked about the fact Omos will make AJ Styles lose in the "WrestleMania Test" tonight.

The Miz TV installment was interrupted by a cryptic video shown on the screen from The Demon King Finn Balor where he talks in a foreign incomprehensive language where he is addressing The Miz.

The show abruptly ends...

Is this a message for things to come to The Miz & Omos?

🔴 Kevin Owens vs. Seth Rollins w/ Mustafa Ali: 12min*

Kane attacked him this past Monday on Raw, and The Undertaker continued the job later in the same night and during the past weekend at the Elimination Chamber.

Seth Rollins claims 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, proving The Undertaker's attacks may have 0 effects on Seth Rollins.

🔴 Alexa Bliss & Sasha Banks vs. Doudrop & Nikki A.S.H: 9min*

This match was meant to happen two weeks ago on Raw, but Alexa Bliss abandoned the match for not feeling well as she faced a "mental breakdown". Sasha Banks competed nevertheless in a handicap match but was unsuccessful. Then last week on Raw, then Women's Tag Team Champions Doudrop & Nikki A.S.H defended against The Bella Twins where they lost their titles. The Bella Twins celebrated with Alexa Bliss & Sasha Banks!

How will things go down this time?

Alexa Bliss was able to put herself together and win the match with Sasha Banks!
