Detroit, MI

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.

SHOW 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.

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!

MATCH #4

REMATCH

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

Normal Match

Emma vs Bayley

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!
