It’s time for one last WWE Raw before WrestleMania. Ronda Rousey and Kurt Angle come face to face with Stephanie McMahon and Triple H. Plus, what’s up with The Undertaker?

Previously on WWE Raw, John Cena defeated Kane in a no DQ match, building to WrestleMania 34 and not WrestleMania 26 like you would think. The Miz and his Miztourage put on an Oscar-worthy performance to mess with Seth Rollins and Finn Balor. Nia Jax continued to strike fear into the heart of Alexa Bliss. And Brock Lesnar once again left Roman Reigns in a heap, licking his wounds.

This week, it’s the final event for the flagship show before WrestleMania. All roads lead to New Orleans after tonight, so it’s time to put up or shut up for the Raw superstars. Advertised for tonight is a face to face encounter between Triple H, Stephanie McMahon, Kurt Angle, and Ronda Rousey. The mixed tag match between the quartet at WrestleMania will be Rousey’s official debut – though she’s already had her fair share of encounters with The Authority. Will this meeting go down smoothly?

The WWE Universe still hasn’t seen nor heard from The Undertaker, despite John Cena’s best efforts to bring him back for one more Mania match. Cena has no match yet, so he’s vowed to go as a fan if he can’t convince Taker to fight. But with time running out, the Dead Man still hasn’t answered Cena. Will tonight be the night? Or does Big Match John need a ticket for WrestleMania?

Seth Rollins and Finn Balor are set for a WrestleMania triple threat match against Intercontinental Champion The Miz. But after the past few weeks, tensions are high between the two challengers. So tonight, they’ll go one on one in a rematch from March 12. Who will reign supreme heading into NOLA?

There’s a lot of questions heading into WrestleMania, as well. Roman Reigns has gotten his butt handed to him by Brock Lesnar two weeks in a row – will he go for the trifecta tonight? Nia Jax has been itching to get her hands on Alexa Bliss for weeks – can the champ continue to evade her for another week? And Braun Strowman needs a tag team partner before WrestleMania – who will it be?
