WWE Raw Card for April 13, 2026
WWE has not announced specific matches for tonight's show. Adam Pearce confirmed six major stars for the broadcast but kept the rest of the details close to the vest. Here are the confirmed appearances and storylines heading into the final Raw before WrestleMania.
Roman Reigns and CM Punk (c) Face Off (World Heavyweight Championship)
Roman Reigns returns to Raw after missing last week's show, where CM Punk delivered a scathing promo targeting Reigns, The Rock, and Pat McAfee. Pearce confirmed that Reigns will have a special message for his WrestleMania opponent.
The last time both men were in the building together, Punk slammed Reigns through the announce desk to close the March 30 edition of Raw. Reigns won the Royal Rumble back in January, entering at number 26 and scoring five eliminations to earn a shot at Punk's World Heavyweight Championship. Their WrestleMania match headlines Night 2 on April 19.
Brock Lesnar and Oba Femi Appear
Both men are confirmed for tonight after last week's contract signing devolved into chaos. Lesnar attacked Femi before he could step into the ring, and dozens of security personnel failed to separate them until after Raw went off the air. Femi has had the upper hand every time the two have collided since answering Lesnar's open challenge. Their match takes place on Night 2 during the opening hour on ESPN.
Seth Rollins and Gunther Appear
Rollins and Gunther will both be in Sacramento. Two weeks ago, Gunther attacked Rollins. Last week, Rollins confronted Gunther on Raw, leading to another brawl. A backstage segment afterward saw Gunther telling Paul Heyman that he owed him more than just a thank you for saving him from Rollins. Their singles match is scheduled for Night 1 of WrestleMania.
Liv Morgan Injury Update Expected
Stephanie Vaquer ambushed Liv Morgan last week, shoving her into Roxanne Perez and leaving both with visible injuries. Both were placed in concussion protocol. A Fightful report indicated that Morgan and Perez are expected to be cleared for WrestleMania, but fans should get an official update on tonight's show. Vaquer defends the Women's World Championship against Morgan on Night 1.
Asuka vs. IYO SKY Status
Asuka issued a challenge to IYO SKY last week. The match was on WWE's internal lineup but may be pushed to Backlash on May 9, according to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter. Night 2 already has six announced matches, and WWE is weighing whether to add a seventh. Tonight could provide clarity.
Additional Stars Advertised
Rhea Ripley, Becky Lynch, and Jey Uso are all advertised for tonight's show. Ripley faces Jade Cargill for the WWE Women's Championship on Night 2. Lynch challenges AJ Lee for the Women's Intercontinental Championship on Night 1. Royce Keys hinted at a possible appearance, noting that Sacramento is a short drive from San Jose, where he made his main roster debut on SmackDown last week.
Road to WWE WrestleMania 42
WrestleMania 42 takes place Saturday, April 18 and Sunday, April 19 at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, Nevada. John Cena hosts the two-night event. Night 1 airs on ESPN2 (first hour) and the ESPN App. Night 2 airs on ESPN (first hour) and the ESPN App. Internationally, both nights stream on Netflix.
The full WrestleMania 42 card features 13 matches across both nights, headlined by Cody Rhodes vs. Randy Orton for the Undisputed WWE Championship (Night 1) and CM Punk vs. Roman Reigns for the World Heavyweight Championship (Night 2).
