The Miz will face Rey Mysterio with Logan Paul in his corner, and The Street Profits face Alpha Academy in a WrestleMania warm-up match. Meanwhile Sasha Banks, Naomi, Liv Morgan and Rhea Ripley take-on Shayna Baszler, Natalya, Carmella and Queen Zelina Vega. And, of course, Kevin Owens will continue to bait Steve Austin, and Seth Rollins is still in search of a… dream…. WrestleMania match – which should be concluded tonight.
And that’s the preview for the WrestleMania 38 go-home edition of RAW. Our live coverage will begin from 8PM right here. Let us know if you’re excited about any of it and remember to hit the refresh link below and enjoy the show!
The go-home edition of WWE RAW opens with the WWE Champion, Brock Lesnar, making his way down to the ring. We have a four-man commentary team tonight, with Michael Cole joining Corey Graves, Byron Saxton, and Jimmy Smith.
A replay if shown of SmackDown this past Friday night, where Brock wrecked Roman Reigns’s locker room, then took to his SUV with a pickaxe before running through a dozen security guards. The Bloodline got away unscathed and Roman said Brock will have no choice but to acknowledge him at WrestleMania.
*Commercial Break*
The Miz comes to the ring by himself. He says WrestleMania has lots of great outfits and his favourite mask of all time is the one he took from Rey Mysterio last week. Miz says he’s sure Rey is livid, just as the fans are, but he no longer has the mask. He gave it to the greatest luchadore of all-time, lucha Logan Paul!
Paul comes to the ring wearing Rey’s mask. Miz says unmasking Rey was the most disrespectful thing he could ever have done to Rey. It was the only thing he could have done because when you don’t get the respect you deserve, you take it. Miz says he thinks he needs a mask of his own, so whatever mask Rey is wearing tonight, he’s going to take for himself.
Rey and Dominik come to the ring and Dom attacks Miz, while Paul slides from the ring. Rey chases after Paul but he avoids him until the referee ejects Dominik from ringside! The Miz has Paul in his corner for this match but Rey’s son is gone.
The bell rings and Mysterio kicks Miz in the thigh, then hits a headscissors. Rey hits the ropes and ducks Miz, then slides from the ring to go after Paul, who runs away and Miz intercepts Rey with a slam into the buckles. Miz then hits Mysterio with a DDT on the floor. Miz and Paul high five each other on the floor.
*Commercial Break*
Back live and Rey headbutts Miz off the top rope, then jumps onto him. Miz attempts a sunset flip but Rey rolls through a dropkicks him. Miz grabs Rey for a powerbomb and bounces him off the top rope, but Rey rolls him up and scores the pinfall!
After the match, Rey stares down Logan until Dominik runs down and shoves him into the ring. Rey trips Logan onto the middle rope and looks for a 619 but Paul rolls from the ring. The Mysterio’s get Miz in the ring and hit him with a stereo 619, then Rey lands a frog splash and Paul just watches on.
*Commercial Break*
We see a video package of Seth Rollins’s struggle to get a WrestleMania match.
Earlier today Seth Rollins was invited to Vince McMahon’s office at Titan Towers. Rollins was under the impression he had been brought in to be fired, but McMahon says he thinks he needs to be at WrestleMania. And it won’t just be any match, but a true main event. Rollins gets excited and asks who his opponent will be, and Vince says he’ll know when the person makes his entrance. Rollins doesn’t care, he just dances and laughs, then jumps on Vince’s desk.
*Commercial Break*
Erik starts with Omos and fires off a flurry of punches and kickes. Erik runs at Omos but eats a strong clothesline that takes his head off. Erik rolls from the ring and gets counted out.
After the match Ivar gets on the apron but Omos kicks him in the head and poses. Kevin Patrick gets in and interviews Omos. He asks if there’s an opponent that could pose a threat to him. Omos laughs and says no, he’s undefeated and never been knocked off his feet. Suddenly the All Mighty Bobby Lashley comes out to a bog pop from the crowd and makes his way down to the ring where Omos is nodding his head.
Lashley stares at Omos and the fans chant his name. Omos shoves Lashley in the face. Bobby runs into him but Omos doesn’t budge. Omos shouts at him and shoves him by the face. Lashley runs into him again but Omos throws him off. Lashley hits the ropes, duckes a clothesline and tackles Omos and he goes down! Omos rolls out and shouts at Lashley that he doesn’t want this. They point at the WrestleMania sign.
*Commercial Break*
Reginald and Dana Brooke are walking backstage and he, quite suddenly, gets down on one knee and proposes to her! Dana says this is all very sudden but he says they can have their WrestleMania moment right now and presents a ring, and she says yes. Tamina then attacks them and tries to pin Dana but Reggie pulls her off and they escape. Akira Tozawa then appears in a suit and proposes to her. Tamina lifts him by the lapels and agrees but the ring doesn’t fit! Regardless, they smile and dance and we see R-Truth watching from a few metres away, holding binoculars, and he says it’s given him an idea.
The head of the table, the tribal chief, the WWE Universal Champion, Roman Reigns makes his way to the ring, flanked by Paul Heyman and The Uso’s. Michael Cole points out that Reigns has not been pinned or submitted since December 2019, and on Sunday night he will enter his sixth main event of WrestleMania.
Reigns tells the Pittsburgh crowd to acknowledge him. Roman says he was going to come out here and talk about God mode and how he used to run Monday Night RAW until Fox begged him to save SmackDown. Those are facts, he’s done everything you can do in this business. The fans “what?” and Roman says if they keep doing it he’s going to smash them, just the way he would smash Steve Austin.
Reigns says the one thing he’s never done is beat the beast at WrestleMania. And that pisses him off. The fans chant “suplex city”. Roman says what bothers him about Lesnar is that a week ago he was out for blood but he’s already spilled his blood. In 2018 at WrestleMania Brock busted his head wide open. Lesnar smashed his face so much that his family didn’t want him in the business anymore. His family was disappointed in him.
Now Brock is out here talking about carnivals and playing games, but that’s fine because the tribal chief has changed the game. He already took Brock’s advocate, he’s spilled his blood, and this Sunday he will make the final move and take his title. He’s going to make it personal because it’s always been personal to him. The Bloodline poses and leaves the ring.
Queen Zelina and Carmella are having a photoshoot backstage and they brag about beating up all their competiton last week. Baszler and Natalya appear and say they don’t take cheap shots lightly, but tonight they have to work together. So fall in line and they’ll win, and they might allow Vega and Carmella live long enough to see WrestleMania.
*Commercial Break*
The match gets underway with Liv and Natalya, and Nattie looked for a Sharpshooter right away to no avail. Ripley tags in and clocks Natalya with a snapmare and a dropkick. Naomi tags in and grabs a wristlock but Natalya hits her and tags Baszler, who tees off with right hands. Vega tags in but Naomi takes advantage of her posing and beats her into the corner and tags Banks.
Naomi and Sasha hit a double boot in the corner. Suddenly everything breaks down and every woman comes in one-by-one and hits a move on each other. We’re left with Banks and Carmella, and Sasha looks for the Bank Statement but Vega drags her out of the ring and runs her into the barricade. Vega holds Banks down with her knee as we head to the break.
*Commercial Break*
Back live and Carmella is holding Banks with a sleeper in the middle of the ring. Sasha tries to fight up but eats a knee and gets whipped to the heel corner. Banks knocks them all off the apron and hits a backstabber to Carmella. Both womena re down and Banks tries to tag to Naomi, but Baszler tags in and prevents it.
Baszler knocks Banks into the corner and lifts her up for a stretch muffler. Natalya tags in and teams with Shayna to hit a Hart Attack! Vega tags herself in and covers but Natalya drags her off. Carmella then pulls Baszler out of the ring and they have a brawl. Vega gets beat in the corner by the babyfaces and Ripley hits the Riptide for the win.
We see a replay of last week when Kevin Owens came out dressed as Stone Cold Steve Austin and tricked the fans.
*Commercial Break*
We see an awesome video package of just why Stone Cold Steve Austin is the greatest of all time.
Kevin Owens is in the ring and he says that was an incredible tribute to Steve Austin from the true angels in the video editing truck. But that was nothing compared to his tribute last week, it was amazing. Some people say he was mocking Stone Cold but they’re liars. That was him paying homage to Stone Cold. And he knows everyone is very excited about Austin being his guest in the main event of WrestleMania this Saturday.
However he was doing a favour to everyone because him dressing up is the closest we’ll get to the old Stone Cold. That man has been gone for nineteen years and he’s gone forever. It won’t be Stone Cold on Saturday night, it will be Steve. A man who’s been drinking himself into oblivion. A man who is so bored on his ranch that he begs people to come on podcast to talk about the good old days.
Yeah he still looks and talks the same, but he’s not the same man. And he’s not coming to the KO Show, not to fight Owens, but to have a chat about his career. Owens says he’s a good person, so he’s happy to give him the platform he thinks he deserves. And he’s even going to do something special for him: Owens hates beer, it’s disgusting, but he’ll drink one with Austin.
They can toast to Austin officially passing the torch to Owens, the new master of the Stunner. Because Owens 3:16 says my Stunner is better than yours. And once that’s done Steve can be on his way. But one warning: if he tries to get funny he’ll hit the old timer with a Stunner. He will pour a beer on Austin’s lifeless carcass after he opens a can of whoopass on him. And that’s the bottom line, because KO said so.
*Commercial Break*
The match gets underway and Theory beats Ricochet into the corner but he wastes time and gets caught with a boot. The fans chant for Pat McAfee as Ricochet hits an enziguiri, then a springboard clothesline for a two-count. Ricochet drops Theory and goes to the top rope but Theory hits the ropes to crotch him. Theory hits the ATL and knocks off the Intercontinental Champion in quick fashion.
*Commercial Break*
Bianca Belair comes to the ring for the first time in two whole weeks. Belair says she found out just how low Becky Lynch will stoop to hold onto her title. Bianca’s confidence threatens Becky, so she tried to injure her and ruin her reputation. But they don’t call her the Est. for no reason, she’s still standing as if nothing happened. This all started at last year’s SummerSlam and Becky has tried everything to stop her. Belair says she knows Becky is out of ideas, so on Saturday she’s coming for her and her title. And there’s nothing she can do about it.
Becky Lynch’s music hits and The Man comes in from behind with a chair but Belair is ready for her. Bianca beats Becky into the corner and punches her down, then goes to grab the chair but Becky pulls her back. Lynch grabs the chair and hits Belair in the gut, then the back. Becky lifts a bag with a pair of big scissors and tries to cut her ponytail off but Belair scoops her up and hits the Kiss of Death! Belair hits a second K.O.D, then grabs the scissors and starts cutting Becky’s hair! Belair eventually leaves and Lynch loses it.
*Commercial Break*
Sarash Schreiber tries to interview Becky Lynch backstage but she just says “Bianca, you bitch!” and walks off.
This handicap match gets underway and Corbin locks-up with Drew. Corbin shoves him, then tags Moss and bails from the ring. McIntyre yanks Moss into the ring, beats him in the corner, hits a belly-to-belly, and a neckbreaker. McIntyre tosses Moss into the corner and tells Corbin to tag in. Drew tells him to tag in but Corbin jumps off the apron instead. McIntyre headbutts Moss, then htis a Claymore.
As soon as the match ends, Corbin attacks McIntyre from behind. Corbin sends Drew into the ring post, then hits the End of Days. Corbin grabs Angela, the sword and leaves with it.
Edge is sitting in a dark room with scales of justice on a desk. Edge says last week he had a chance to let Seth Rollins and AJ Styles play out but as he’s said, he’s decided to take fate into his own hands. It had to be AJ. Edge says he needed Styles to become what he is, which is the benchmark of WWE. They can push each other. For twenty years they’ve ran paralell, winning titles and selling out arena’s, and now they come face-to-face for the first time ever. He saw the look in AJ’s face last week and he knows he’s already in his head. This Sunday is AJ’s judgement day and his judgement is sealed.
*Commercial Break*
AJ Styles cuts a promo backstage and says if Edge wanted to get inside his head, well mission accomplished. Edge wants the pitbull but he’s going to get something so much worse. All he’s thought about lately is what he’s going to do when he gets his hands on Edge at WrestleMania, and he knows he’s going to deliver a beating the likes of which we’ve never seen.
Shinsuke Nakamura and Rick boogs make their way to the ring to watch the next match. Their WrestleMania opponents, The Uso’s are out next, and they’ll be facing RK-Bro after the break.
*Commercial Break*
The match kicks-off with Randy and Jimmy, and Orton connects with a poke to the eyes before tagging Riddle and flipping him onto Jimmy with a senton. Jey rushes in and The Uso’s want double superkicks but RK-Bro counter them and look for RKO’s but Jimmy and Jey roll outside. The Uso’s stare down Nakamura and Boogs, but Orton and Riddle come out and slam them both on the announce desk!
*Commercial Break*
Orton is whipped hard into the buckles but bounces out and clotheslines Jimmy. Orton stomps the limbs before tagging Riddle, who hits a gutwrench suplex. Riddle is backed into the corner and Jey tags in for a flying forearm, then grabs a front facelock. Riddle kicks Jey in the chest and hits a running forearm, knocks Jimmy off the apron, suplexes Jey and hits a senton for a one-count.
Riddle dodges Jey in the corner and swings a kick but nobody’s home, then Jey catches him with a Samoan drop for a two-count. Jimmy tags in and they stomp Riddle down. The Uso’s make lots of tags and keep Riddle isolated. Riddle tries to fight back but gets knocked out of the ring and Jimmy Uso tosses him over the barricade. The Uso’s pose as we head to the break.
*Commercial Break*
Back live and Jey hits a pop-up neckbreaker to Riddle and taunts Orton. Riddle capitalises on the time-wasting and hits a dropkick in the corner. Orton and Jimmy get the tags and Randy lands clotheslines and wants a powerslam but Jimmy holds onto the ropes and Jey blind-tags in. Orton lands the powerslam and wants the draping DDT but Jey rolls him up from behind for a two-count.
Orton catches Jey with the snap powerslam and sends him to the apron. Jimmy grabs Jey’s feet but Riddle hits a kick from the apron, then doives off the ropes with a floating bro to Jimmy. Orton hits the DDT to Jey, then wants an RKO but Montez Ford and Angelo Dawkins rush in and attack Orton from behind!
Riddle runs in to help after the match, then Boogs and Nakamura come in as well. Boogs hits a military press to Jimmy on the ropes, then takes him out of the ring and they fight off. Dawkins slams Orton and Montez wants a frog splash but Riddle RKO’s Dawkins, then they avoid Ford’s frog splash and Riddle throws him up for an RKO from Randy. RK-Bro pose and the Profits are rolling out of the ring, but they seem to be ending a bit early, so RK-Bro drag them back in provide some more RKO’s for the fans.
