– The Street Profits wanted Team RK-Bro for WWE RAW Tag Team Championships at WrestleMania 38 since Montez Ford of the Profits pinned Randy Orton, last week.

– NXT Champion Bron Breakker and Tommaso Ciampa defeated Dolph Ziggler and Robert Roode in a tag team match as Breakker made his WWE Raw in-ring debut.

Breakker blocked a superkick and pinned Ziggler to win the match for his team with his pendant powerslam. Ziggler wasn’t impressed with the promo who promised in an aftermath promo as he vowed to win the NXT Title from Breakker at NXT Roadblock.

– Omos defeated Apollo Crews in a singles contest with the big Choke Bomb maneuver. Omos had a face-off with Commander Azeez after the match once the match was over.

– WWE Hall of Famer Edge came out to dim lights (in a new entrance) for a promo session where he claimed his beatdown towards AJ Styles was in the best interest of AJ.

He wants to face AJ at WrestleMania 38 and he wants the flesh-tearing bulldog version. Edge claimed to be in control of a side of himself he didn’t know about and the feeling is phenomenal.

– Rhea Ripley and Liv Morgan defeated WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions Queen Zelina Vega and Carmella in a non-title match. Carmella was busy with Graves outside the ring as Liv dropped Vega into her knees.

Ripley tagged in and hit the Riptide for the pin to win. After the win, Ripley and Morgan have been added to the Women’s Tag Team Title match at WrestleMania 38, making it a Triple Threat alongside Sasha Banks and Naomi.

– United States Champion Finn Balor defeated Austin Theory via DQ as Damian Priest attacked Balor midway through the match. Theory took a selfie with a lying Balor to end the segment.

– Kevin Owens appeared in the main event segment of Raw by stating that he will host his KO Show at WrestleMania 38.

Owens said the guest on that night will obviously have to be some lowlife from Texas as he name-dropped JBL, Booker T, and Shawn Michaels. Owens then gave a prop to Canada and Bret Hart, who’s a resident of the country.

Owens proceeded to choose Stone Cold Steve Austin, who is apparently past his prime, a shell of himself and his knees are shot. He joked Austin drinking beer all day and might while coming at WrestleMania so that he could hit the legend with a Stunner that the world will talk about.
