Tonight's episode of WWE Monday Night Raw (March 16, 2026) opened with a promo segment with Seth Rollins talking about how he was going after The Vision to dismantle them. Paul Heyman, who had been attacked by Rollins (and hit in the back with a steel chair and stomped) sent out Brock Lesnar to take care of him. After The Beast Incarnate destroyed all the backup masked men who were there to fight alongside the not yet medically cleared Rollins, Oba Femi came out to inadvertently save the day by going after Lesnar.

Femi put down Lesnar with a powerbomb and made a statement by stepping on his chest while pointing to the WrestleMania sign, indicating he was stepping up to challenge Lesnar for The Grandest Stage of Them All.

That match was later made official, bringing the current card of WrestleMania's two nights to five official matches:

  • Singles Match for the World Heavyweight Championship: CM Punk (c) vs. Roman Reigns
  • Singles Match for the Women's World Championship: Stephanie Vaquer (c) vs. Liv Morgan
  • Singles Match for the Undisputed WWE Championship: Cody Rhodes (c) vs. Randy Orton
  • Singles Match for the WWE Women's Championship: Jade Cargill (c) vs. Rhea Ripley
  • Singles Match: Brock Lesnar vs. Oba Femi

While not yet official, tonight's episode did also help set up some other things that will no doubt become set for WrestleMania over the coming weeks.

After AJ Lee retained the Women's Intercontinental Championship over Bayley, she was attacked by Becky Lynch to showcase how that feud is not yet over.

Iyo Sky helped Stephanie Vaquer fight off Raquel Rodriguez and Liv Morgan, for whatever that may mean regarding Sky and Rodriguez, who aren't currently set like Morgan and Vaquer.

Bayley and Lyra Valkyria, as well as The Kabuki Warriors, have their sights set on being part of the WWE Women's Tag Team Championship scene and could end up inserted into that title hunt alongside Alexa Bliss and Charlotte Flair, as well as The Bella Twins, who have a title match against The Irresistible Forces this coming Friday Night SmackDown.

The Usos will face The Vision's Austin Theory and Logan Paul on next week's episode of Raw, as Paul Heyman told Paul and Theory that they need to win the World Tag Team Championship titles in order to get some power back. Next week's match is a non-title bout, but anything could change, especially with Brock Lesnar set to appear next Monday as well.
