The March 16th Episode of WWE Monday Night RAW — The Episode Rundown:

• After the WWE World Heavyweight Champion brought up his deceased father, leaving him speechless, Roman Reigns is back as he will confront WWE World Champion CM Punk once again, but this time it won’t be a respectable confrontation, as lines were crossed. What will Roman Reigns do at the first sight of CM Punk? Going below the belt is something Roman Reigns never takes lightly, especially bringing up his now-gone father. A lot of thoughts must be going through the mind of Roman Reigns as he is ready to unleash whatever CM Punk will be getting after the line is crossed.

• The Judgement Day kicked out Finn Bálor last week after he called Dominik Mysterio a prick. Dominik Mysterio lost his WWE Intercontinental Title because of the hands of Finn Bálor, now The Judgement Day, with the longest tenure member gone, a sight to talk about. Will a demon rise to send a warning shot, or will 1916 reappear? Questions must be answered, and tonight we’ll find out.

• AJ Lee will have to be ready as she’ll defend her newly won WWE Women’s Intercontinental Title against Bayley, who is coming off a very eventful week as she appeared on AAA for the first time in an unsuccessful way, as she didn’t come away with the AAA Reina de Reinas Title. But now she must shift focus as she could become the next WWE Women’s Intercontinental Champion. We’re seeing a first-time ever match, and a mamny dream match for AJ Lee. Will we see a new champion tonight, or will AJ Lee have her first successful title defense?

• After capping off winning the Rey de Reyes Four-Way Finals Match to win the Rey de Reyes Sword and a future AAA Mega Title shot, El Grande Americano will have to take on the Original El Grande Americano, who was also involved in the Rey de Reyes Four-Way Match, with no success. Tonight we’ll find out who the better El Grande Americano is, or will the Los Americanos in Bravo Americano, and Rayo Americano try to sabotage the Original El Grande Americano's chances tonight? We’ll find out tonight.

• WWE Women’s World Champion Raquel Rodriguez cost her chance in the Gauntlet Match; now tonight, Stephanie Vaquer steps in the ring to take on Raquel Rodriguez once again in Singles Action. With Liv Morgan facing Stephanie Vaquer at WrestleMania, we’ll see if Raquel Rodriguez derails Stephanie Vaquer’s momentum tonight.

• The 3rd Match between Maxxine Durpi and Nattie will occur tonight, as Maxxine Durpi wants to teach her mentor a lesson, a big lesson, as she looks to take down Nattie. Nattie has had a new attitude and new outlook. She wants to hurt anyone in her way. In the past two matches between these two, we saw Nattie destroy Maxxine Dupri. But will Maxxine Durpi fight back this time to rewrite the past?

• Brock Lesnar is back on Monday Night RAW as he looks to see who accepts his WrestleMania Open Challenge.
