Top storylines to watch on WWE Raw (April 6, 2026): Seth Rollins' response; CM Punk vs Roman Reigns & more

WrestleMania season continues to heat up on Raw.

 Live from the Toyota Center in Houston, Texas, on the April 6 edition of Monday Night Raw carries massive anticipation from fans. The show is among the final few weekly episodes from WWE in the lead-up to WrestleMania 42.

Seth Rollins is set to open the show on the heels of the brutal attack by Gunther and the match announcement for Mania. Brock Lesnar and Oba Femi are also scheduled to appear. World Heavyweight Champion CM Punk is set to address fans this Monday.

Ahead of what is shaping up to be another explosive edition on the Road to WrestleMania, let us take a look at the top four storylines that might be in store for fans on WWE Raw.

4. WrestleMania 42 build

As per reports, a total of 14 matches have been planned for WrestleMania; of these 14, 12 have already been announced, and fans are anticipating the remaining two to be announced this week. One of these matches involved The Usos (Jimmy & Jey Uso) and LA Knight against The Vision (Logan Paul & Austin Theory) and IShowSpeed.

WWE has already teased this match during the last week when Speed accidentally knocked out Knight, helping Logan and Thoery defeat Usos and capture the World Tag Team titles. Knight then crashed Speed’s livestream and attacked him, further building the feud.

On the other hand, Iyo Sky vs Asuka has also been teased with a potential turn for Kairi Sane and it remains to be seen if the match is announced for Mania.

3. Brock Lesnar vs Oba Femi

Both Brock Lesnar and Oba Femi are confirmed to appear on this Monday’s Raw in the Lone Star State. Last week, both men engaged in a fierce face-off, taking out anyone standing in their way, and even GM Adam Pearce was unable to diffuse the situation, which brought out WWE CCO Triple H, who managed to separate the two and avoid another collision. 

It remains to be seen what is in store for this week, as both Lesnar and Femi have refused to back down, and WWE might need to jack up security to separate the two.

2. Seth Rollins’ appearance

Following GM Adam Pearce’s announcement last week that Seth Rollins is medically cleared to compete, Rollins launched another attack on Paul Heyman. However, out of nowhere, he was pulled from the ring by ‘The Ring General’ Gunther, who then locked him in the sleeper. The attack then led to the announcement of a clash at the ‘Grandest Stage.’

Rollins is now set to kick off the broadcast in Houston, and fans can expect a scathing promo from The Visionary as WWE looks to make up ground with limited time left in the build-up to this unexpected clash.

1. CM Punk vs Roman Reigns

CM Punk and Roman Reigns engaged in another brawl last week at MSG, and this time around, Punk had the upper hand, slamming Reigns through the announce desk. Notably, Roman Reigns’ Road to WrestleMania schedule doesn’t include the upcoming edition.

It remains to be seen if CM Punk just cuts a promo addressing Reigns or confronts the Usos for their involvement two weeks earlier.
