WWE Raw heads to the Allstate Arena in Chicago, Illinois tonight and continues the high-octane Road to WrestleMania. We’ve got three huge matches, and major WrestleMania implications as Universal Champion Brock Lesnar makes his television return.
WWE Raw will be in a town that loves their wrestling tonight, and WWE has already got a show that looks to be truly special. It feels like WrestleMania season when you’ve got Universal Champion Brock Lesnar makes his way to WWE Raw. It’s not clear what Lesnar will do once there, but you can bet Seth Rollins is well aware his WrestleMania opponent will be in the same building as him.
We’ve also got three big matches announced, and they’re all pointing right to WrestleMania 35. WWE Raw Women’s Champion Ronda Rousey has been increasingly dangerous since turning on fans and “going rogue” en route to her title defense at WrestleMania. Dana Brooke laid down a fearless challenge last week, and got a beating in return. Tonight, she’ll get her shot at the title, but Dana Brooke may have poked a deadly dragon.
Last week, we also saw Bobby Lashley recapture the Intercontinental Championship by defeating Finn Balor with an assist from Lio Rush. Tonight, Balor will face Lashley and Rush in tag team action, but the identity of his partner has remained a mystery. Several intriguing names have been tossed out, but we won’t know until the time comes tonight.

In the third and final announced match for WWE Raw, one-third of The Shield looks for revenge following Drew McIntyre’s vile actions last week. Not only did McIntyre ambush and attack Roman Reigns before The Big Dog could compete in his first singles match since returning, but McIntyre followed it up with a brutal Falls Count Anywhere match against Dean Ambrose which left Ambrose severely damaged. Can “The Beast Slayer” focus on McIntyre with Brock Lesnar looming in the same arena?
Finally, we could get bits of several other WrestleMania stories still in creation. Batista and Triple H’s No Holds Barred match at WrestleMania 35 was confirmed last week, and either man could show up tonight. Kurt Angle is set to announce who he will face at WrestleMania in his final match, but some choices are already leading the pack. And Beth Phoenix, who has been aside her “Divas of Doom” partner as of late, could make her presence felt once again on the Road to WrestleMania.
