Brock Lesnar to appear

During the February 23 edition of Raw, Brock Lesnar, accompanied by Paul Heyman, issued an open challenge for WrestleMania, daring anyone from the locker room to step up and answer the challenge and face the ‘Beast Incarnate.’

Lesnar will now return during this Monday’s show after issuing the challenge and is in fact, lined up for four more appearances on the Road to WrestleMania.

Roman Reigns Live

Following the infamous segment on the March 2 episode, where Roman Reigns engaged in a promo battle against CM Punk, the OTC is set to make another appearance as part of his schedule on the Road to WrestleMania 42.

The upcoming appearance comes in the backdrop of the aforementioned comments, where Punk vowed to bury Reigns next to his father. A comments which has caused a major controversy with the Usos (Jimmy & Jey Uso) confronting Punk last week, and the segment led to a physical altercation last week.

AJ Lee (c) vs Bayley – Women’s Intercontinental title match

‘The Role Model’ Bayley last week captured the win in the gauntlet match to secure the number one contender spot for the Women’s Intercontinental title.

She is now set to battle the newly crowned Champion, AJ Lee, who defeated Becky Lynch at Elimination Chamber to capture a title in WWE after her return a decade later last year. This will be their first meeting since their last singles match took place on July 11, 2013, on WWE NXT.

Additionally, “Original” El Grande Americano will battle El Grande Americano of the Los Americanos faction. The match announcement came after the latter somehow stole the Intercontinental title opportunity from the former on last week’s show.
