WWE Raw Spoilers, Preview for March 28, 2016: Roman Reigns, Triple H Confront in Brooklyn for Final 'Raw' Before 'WrestleMania'
"It's the final "WWE Monday Night Raw" before Sunday's "WrestleMania" and there is still plenty of action to be promoted within three hours of programming.
Roman Reigns vs. Triple H
There's a lot of promotion needed for the match between WWE World Heavyweight Champion Triple H and Roman Reigns. The WWE, however, has been showing Reigns in the ring in small capsules, with the exception of last week's "SmackDown." But Monday's "Raw" will be in Brooklyn where the New York crowd will make their voices known about this feud. Given the New York crowd's usual behavior, it would be interesting to see how the WWE books Reigns to ensure he gets cheers and not the mixed-to-boos reception. Perhaps Reigns will get a beat down by Triple H.
Dean Ambrose vs. Brock Lesnar
Given it's the last "Raw" before "WrestleMania," it would be insane to not have Brock Lesnar in attendance. Lesnar did appear on "SmackDown," where he delivered an F5 on Dean Ambrose. If Ambrose and Lesnar both confront each other on "Raw," pay attention to who's the last man standing. If Ambrose looks strong and manages to outmaneuver Lesnar on Monday night, then it could signify Lesnar will come out on top this Sunday -- or the vice versa.
The Undertaker vs. Shane McMahon
Similar to Lesnar, it would not make sense to book one of the major "WrestleMania" matches without The Undertaker appearing at "Raw." As announced last week, a stipulation has been added to the already-heavy-stipulation match: a Hell in a Cell match, if Shane wins then he'll control "Raw" and if Undertaker loses then the Phenom no longer competes. Monday's "Raw" should have both Undertaker and Shane in the ring for the final live show before Sunday's big show and promote the three stipulations.
DivasMania
"WrestleMania" is proving to be breaking ground for the divas division. While two divas matches have been done at previous "WrestleManias," it isn't often that there's strong interest of "what will happen next?" for the two planned matches.
First, WWE Divas Champion Charlotte defends her title against Becky Lynch and Sasha Banks. It's the first "WrestleMania" for all three women and the first time the Divas Championship is defended in triple-threat rules at the show. So far, it seems Lynch and Banks have gotten the better of Charlotte, so fans should expect the champion to stand strong this Monday night. These three divas have what it takes to make history for the women's division this Sunday.
The second planned match is potentially a 5-on-5 tag-team match, or 4 on 4, it's not fully confirmed. Regardless, there will be action between the first team of Lana, Naomi, Tamina, Summer Rae and the returning Emma against Brie Bella, Alicia Fox, Paige, Natalya and an unknown fifth member. Nikki Bella may appear on "Raw," but fans should not expect her in action given her legitimate neck injury. Nikki could appear at ringside at "WrestleMania," while a fifth member could be named at "Raw."
AJ Styles vs. Chris Jericho
Despite being less than a week away from "WrestleMania," there is still another match that awaits confirmation; AJ Styles against Chris Jericho. Styles issued the challenge but Jericho has yet to confirm and it will likely come Monday night.
#KOMania Running Wild
Intercontinental Champion Kevin Owens will defend his title at "WrestleMania" in a ladder match against six other competitors: Sami Zayn, Dolph Ziggler, The Miz, Stardust, Sin Cara and New York's Zack Ryder -- the WWE should be wise to book him live on "Raw." At the time of writing this preview, it's unknown what match or matches these seven will have but fully expect Owens to escape harm's way as he successfully has during the past few "Raw" and "SmackDown" airings.
"WWE Monday Night Raw" airs weekly on the USA Network at 8 p.m. ET.
