LAST
WEEK ON RAW: A disrespectful beatdown! Brock Lesnar continued to
attack the WWE Universal Champion Neville after the match, intent on
hurting and disrespecting him! With Lesnar's non-title victory, his
claim for a Universal Championship opportunity became legitimatized.
TONIGHT
ON RAW: Neville has challenged Brock Lesnar to one more non-title
match as he looks to take away all of the momentum that Brock has
regained over the past several weeks. Will Neville be successful in
striking back or will “The Beast” showcase his dominance for a
third week in a row?
ALSO
TONIGHT: Kurt Angle takes on cruiserweight Austin Aries from 205
Live in a rare cross-brand match-up!
MEDICAL
UPDATE FROM LAST WEEK: The Undertaker's injury has worsened, but
continues to compete at a severe disadvantage and risk of further
damage.
ANNOUNCEMENT
FROM THE AUTHORITY: The Authority and Jinder Mahal have reached
an agreement where he has been chosen to compete in a match tonight
against Roman Reigns where the winner will go on to WrestleMania to
challenge “The Phenom” The Undertaker!
With
“The Dead Man” currently dealing with a major head injury, these
Superstars are salivating at the chance to deal The Undertaker a loss
at this year's ultimate thrill ride, WrestleMania.

OPENER PROMO
Samoe
Joe hijacks the opening of RAW by calling out Roman Reigns. “The
Big Dog” was eliminated in last week's six-pack challenge by his
opponent tonight, Jinder Mahal. However, Samoe Joe wants to remind
everyone about who eliminated The Undertaker. It was Joe who choked
out “The Phenom” and it was Joe that was responsible for turning
'Taker's medical condition from minor to major.
Roman
Reigns would be glad to shut Joe's mouth up tonight inside of the
ring while defeating Jinder Mahal at the same time and proposes for
Samoa Joe to be added into tonight's match to determine The
Undertaker's opponent at WrestleMania. This prompts Joe to drop
Reigns with a vicious right hand leading to a brawl that Joe gets the
better of.
PROMO
BATTLE RESULT: NO CONTEST
LAST
WEEK ON RAW: The WWE United States Champion Braun Strowman issued
an open challenge at WrestleMania against anyone who wants a shot at
his United States Championship.
The
Authority capitalized on Braun's challenge by having Triple H and
Kevin Owens both accept the challenge as they look to work together
to unseat “The Monster Among Men” as United States Champion.
RAW
General Manager, Mick Foley then made the decision to add Chris
Jericho to that WrestleMania United States Championship match seeing
as how Jericho is ranked higher than Owens, thus making that title
match a Fatal 4-Way.
UP
NEXT: The Authority surprise Goldberg by finally giving him his
highly sought-after rematch against Chris Jericho right here tonight!

IN
THE BACKSTAGE AREA: RAW GM Mick Foley confronts Triple H about
his very convenient decision to give Goldberg his rematch against
Chris Jericho just two weeks out from WrestleMania. As a result,
Foley has spoken with the WWE Board of Directors and had a Handicap
Match approved featuring Triple H and Kevin Owens taking on three
opponents!
NOT
MUCH LATER: Triple H quickly eases Kevin Owens' worries about
Mick Foley's retaliative decision and tells him that he knows a guy
from around here that could help them out tonight. Much like Jericho
got Sami Zayn to help him even their odds last week.
FURTHERMORE:
“The Game” also has a plan in place to soften up their target
Braun Strowman tonight to make their jobs of taking the United States
Championship from him at WrestleMania a little easier.

A
very outraged Sasha Banks talks about how RAW Commissioner Stephanie
McMahon chose Nia Jax and Emma to challenge Charlotte for the RAW
Women's Championship at WrestleMania despite the fact that Sasha
outranks Emma. Sasha reveals that she had a meeting with RAW GM Mick
Foley and was able to correct Stephanie's injustice. “The Boss”
announces that she will be competing in the RAW Women's Championship
match at WrestleMania and looks forward to winning that championship

WEEK AT WRESTLEMANIA, THE ULTIMATE THRILL RIDE: The New Day will
serve as the hosts for WrestleMania, the ultimate thrill ride!
TWO
WEEKS AGO ON RAW: Emma declined Bayley's challenge for a rematch
after she suffered a loss to Emma the week before. Emma stated that
she has her sights set on the RAW Women's Championship.
LAST
WEEK ON RAW: RAW Commissioner Stephanie McMahon made the RAW
Women's Championship match at WrestleMania official. The RAW Women's
Champion Charlotte will take on Nia Jax and Emma (excluding Sasha
Banks who Stephanie has a vendetta against for being on the losing
team at Survivor Series last year).
ALSO
LAST WEEK: Bayley defeated Summer Rae once again in their rematch
and has returned tonight with her rematch against Emma granted for
tonight. Despite also being a part of Stephanie McMahon's vendetta,
RAW GM Mick Foley announced that if Bayley can beat Emma tonight then
she will be added to the RAW Women's Championship match at
WrestleMania!

EMMA'S
RAW WOMEN'S CHAMPIONSHIP OPPORTUNITY IS ON THE LINE

Bayley
Method:

Finish:
Bayley to Belly
LAST
WEEK ON RAW: A very brazen Charlotte welcomed the opportunity to
defend the RAW Women's Championship against anyone that RAW
Commissioner Stephanie McMahon or RAW GM Mick Foley throw at her
because at the end of the day, she will show that she is above
Stephanie's petty vendetta and Charlotte will then be walking out of
WrestleMania as still the RAW Women's Champion.
MIDDLE
CARD PROMO
The
RAW Women's Champion Charlotte talks about how she stands by her
decision to send her father, Ric Flair home and away from her corner.
She then brings out Dana Brooke and breaks the news that Dana isn't
working out as her protege and looks to send her packing as well.
However,
Dana doesn't just go quietly as “The Nature Boy” did. Dana stands
up to Charlotte and defends herself as well as her job backing up
Charlotte for all of these past months. This all means nothing to
Charlotte now that she is the champion to which Dana vows to see the
day where that RAW Women's Championship vanishes from Charlotte's
waist and reappears around the waist of Charlotte's former protege!

BATTLE WINNER: Charlotte
