Tonight’s episode of WWE Raw is airing live from Philadelphia. A 4 on 4 Divas match was announced for WrestleMania 32 on tonight’s Pre-Show. The match will be the team of Natalya, Brie Bella, Alicia Fox & Paige facing the team of Lana, Tamina Snuka, Naomi & another partner, which they will choose on Raw.
Tonight’s Raw kicks off with Stephanie McMahon coming out and noting that Triple H won’t appear on tonight’s broadcast due to corporate responsibilities, and not due to Roman Reigns’ vicious attack on him from last week.
Roman Reigns comes out next and shuts up Stephanie and says he’s the Authority now. This makes Stephanie want to slap Roman but he stops her and says he’s going to beat Triple H at WrestleMania 32.

Mr. McMahon will make a huge announcement regarding the WrestleMania 32 Hell in a Cell match between Shane McMahon and The Undertaker. Up next is a rematch from last week’s SmackDown: AJ Styles vs. Kevin Owens!
After great back and forth action, Styles was about to put Owens away with a Calf Crusher, but Jericho distracted Styles and this led to Owens pinning Styles once again.

Owens goes on to reveal who will face him for the Intercontinental Championship at WrestleMania 32. But he’s interrupted by Dolph Ziggler, The Miz, and Sami Zayn. Owens says none of them are worthy to face him for the Title. Owens says he’ll talk with the Authority and have a Triple Threat match between these 3 men and the winner faces him for the Intercontinental Title at “KOMania”.
