• JD McDonagh vs Finn Balor
• Iyo Sky & Rhea Ripley vs Michin & B-Fab
• Austin Theory vs LA Knight

Seth Rollins to kick off the broadcast

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 in the sleeper hold and pointed to the WrestleMania sign.

Later in the show, Pearce made the match between Rollins and Gunther official for Mania. On the heels of the attack, Rollins is now set to kick off this week’s show in Houston. The Visionary is expected to address the attack in his appearance.

We will hear from World Heavyweight Champion CM Punk

World Heavyweight Champion CM Punk is set to address fans this Monday on Raw. The appearance comes on the heels of the attack on his WrestleMania opponent, Roman Reigns, last week.

The two stars 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. His next appearance will be at the final Raw before Mania next week.

Brock Lesnar & Oba Femi to appear

Both Brock Lesnar and Oba Femi are scheduled for an appearance on this week’s Monday Night Raw ahead of their Mania showdown.

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. Will WWE be able to keep them apart, or will another chaotic brawl ensue this Monday? Tune in to find out.

General Manager Adam Pearce has also announced three exciting matches, as JD McDonagh will take on Finn Balor, while Iyo Sky and Rhea Ripley will reunite to take on B-Fab and Michin.

Additionally, after capturing the World Tag Team titles alongside Logan Paul, Austin Theory will battle LA Knight in singles competition.

IShowSpeed has also confirmed his appearance for the show, during his confrontation with LA Knight, who crashed the livestream and then sent Speed crashing into the streaming setup.
