MIDDLE CARD PROMO

The WWE Intercontinental Champion The Miz talks about how a conspiracy is afoot focused on making sure that he loses the Intercontinental Championship at WrestleMania. The title should be contested in a one-on-one contest for the ages and not in a Fatal 5-Way.

Roman Reigns interrupts and tells The Miz to think of the Fatal 5-Way as an opportunity to showcase how great of a champion he claims to be.

The Miz vs Roman Reigns

PROMO BATTLE WINNER: The Miz

LAST WEEK ON RAW: “Woken” Matt Hardy seemingly vanquished Bray Wyatt from the face of the Earth at the end of the match known as The Ultimate Deletion on The Wyatt Compound!

PROMO: Matt Hardy books his ticket to WrestleMania as RAW's latest entrant in the André the Giant Memorial Battle Royal and warns that anyone who opposes him would face DELETION for their actions!

INTERVIEW: Animosity has been brewing between Bayley and Sasha Banks, and the discontent between the two has finally led to a collision course: Bayley declared for the WrestleMania Women's Battle Royal, making her only the second RAW woman to do so after Sasha.

“The Boss” made no apologies for her selfishness throughout her career, nor was she fazed by Bayley's accusation that she continues to take advantage of “The Huggable One” because she can't win in a fair fight. But Bayley's final shot was the uncomfortable stat that Bayley is a multi-time champion while Sasha is only a one-time champ in a reign from two years ago.

This factoid was too much to bear, and the two finally threw hands, hurling each other into walls and lockers alike in a wild backstage brawl until they were separated by a crew of refs.

TWO WEEKS AGO ON RAW: Curt Hawkins won the #1 Contender's Battle Royal for the RAW Tag Team Championship and will go on to challenge The Bar at WrestleMania! Hawkins didn't have to worry long about having to find a partner, for Braun Strowman was right there, menacingly glaring at Hawkins until he offered “The Monster Among Men” the opportunity to team up to challenge for the RAW tag titles at the show of shows!

LAST WEEK ON RAW: While Braun Strowman doesn't believe in softening anybody up for anything, Curt Hawkins insisted that they should spend the weeks leading up to WrestleMania softening up The Bar. Braun ultimately agreed but only because he felt that Hawkins is the one who would benefit. Braun went on to defeat Cesaro with Sheamus in his corner while Hawkins was suspiciously absent.

MATCH #4

Normal Match

Sheamus (w/Cesaro) vs Braun Strowman

WINNER: Braun Strowman

Method: Pinfall

Finish: Yokosuka Cutter

13 DAYS FROM NOW AT WRESTLEMANIA: “Rowdy” Ronda Rousey (with RAW GM Kurt Angle in her corner) will go one on one against the Commissioner of RAW Stephanie McMahon (with Triple H in her corner)! Rousey's WrestleMania debut is a dream come true, but The Authority are already predicting that conflicting motives and rampant egos will lead to disaster for Ronda and Kurt.

“The Baddest Woman on the Planet” is entirely unmoved by Stephanie, who she referred to as “trust-fund tough”.

MIDDLE CARD PROMO

Paige offers Ronda Rousey a spot in Absolution and promises that they'd have her back better than Kurt Angle would. Ronda declines and Paige doesn not take the rejection well.

Ronda Rousey vs Paige

PROMO BATTLE WINNER: Ronda Rousey

Finish: Shatter Machine (w/Dawson)

PREVIOUSLY ON RAW: After his big upset loss to Goldust, John Cena called out The Undertaker for a match at WrestleMania. However, Cena has yet to hear any word back from “The Phenom”, instead hearing from Goldust who's taken issue with how the biggest win of his career has been seemingly swept under the rug. “The Bizzare One” thinks that John should be out here demanding a rematch from Goldust.

LAST WEEK ON RAW: John Cena and Goldust's match ended in a disqualification after Kane chokeslammed Cena after Cena's constant calling-out of The Undertaker!

INTERVIEW: A DQ win is not good enough for Goldust who is still looking that rematch against Cena so he can prove that the win wasn't a fluke. Elias crashes the interview and trashes Goldust's complaining, claiming that he can beat Cena any day of the week.

MATCH #6

Normal Match

Goldust vs Elias

WINNER: Elias

Method: Pinfall

Finish: Diving Elbow Drop

MAIN EVENT
