WWE Monday Night Raw preview and schedule: February 26, 2018

Bengaluru, February 26: With the completion of Elimination Chamber - the last WWE Monday Night Raw-exclusive PPV before the biggest event of the year, it means the Road to Wrestlemania will start feeling the heat from now.

After we got confirmation of the contender for the Universal title and the Women's Championship in Elimination Chmaber, the biggest storylines of the year will kick off tonight on WWE Raw, hosted at the Honda Center in Anaheim, California.

The beast incarnate, Brock Lesnar is expected to return on the show to have a confrontation with his challenger Roman Reigns.

The show will stream live in India on Sony Ten 1 Network on Tuesday (February 27) from 6.30 AM onwards with the repeat being telecasted later that day at 4 PM and 9 PM.

As the Big Dog won the Elimination Chamber match, it is official that he will collide with Brock Lesnar at the main event of this year’s Wrestlemania. It has now been confirmed that the Conqueror will return on tonight’s WWE Raw to have a face-to-face conversation with the contender. We can expect all hell to break lose between the pair in this segment.

In the other history making match, Alexa Bliss won the Women’s Elimination Chamber match and she is all set to walk into Wrestlemania 34 as the champion. But, Asuka, the Royal Rumble winner has still not revealed who she is likely to challenge at the biggest event of the year. This might be finalized in tonight’s edition. Meanwhile, it will also be interesting to see whether Nia Jax decides to get involved in the match.

John Cena put up a dominant showdown at the Elimination Chamber match but fell short to the massive force of Braun Strowman. According to WWE.com, his road to Wrestlemania is uncertain, now,

“As incredible as John Cena’s performance was in the first-ever Seven Man Elimination Chamber Match, the defeat of the longtime Leader of Cenation left him emotionally conflicted on Raw Talk, where he wondered whether he will make it to WrestleMania this year.”

The speculation suggests that this is an organic buildup to this year’s Wrestlemania where he starves for an opponent and The Undertaker steps out of his retirement. This is a dream match that the fans have wanted to see for ages. With that in mind it will be interesting to see whether Undertaker returns on tonight’s WWE Raw.

The storyline angle between Ronda Rousey and Stephanie McMahon started at the Elimination Chamber PPV. According to WWE.com, the former UFC Bantamweight Champion might make her first appearance on the flagship show of the WWE tonight.

All is definitely not well between Sasha Banks and Bayley after they had numerous altercations recently including Royal Rumble and Elimination Chamber. So, it is likely that their friendship will explode starting now and will end up setting up a match at Wrestlemania.
