WWE Raw Match Card for April 20, 2026
No matches have been announced as of Monday afternoon. WWE has confirmed appearances from Roman Reigns, CM Punk, Oba Femi, Brock Lesnar, Rhea Ripley, Penta, Logan Paul, and Stephanie Vaquer. Here's what to watch for based on tonight's advertised names and WrestleMania 42 fallout.
Roman Reigns' First Appearance as World Heavyweight Champion
Reigns closed WrestleMania 42 by pinning CM Punk to capture the World Heavyweight Championship, his first reign with that specific title. Tonight marks his opening statement as champion, and the question is whether The OTC plans to be a working champion or a part-time titleholder. Expect a promo segment early in the show.
CM Punk Responds to Losing the Title
Punk came into WrestleMania as champion and left without the belt after a brutal main event. He's advertised for tonight and will almost certainly address the loss, and what comes next for the self-proclaimed Best in the World is the biggest creative question on Raw heading into the post-Mania cycle.
Paul Heyman Addresses the Future of Brock Lesnar
Lesnar lost to Oba Femi on Night 2, then removed his gloves and boots in the center of the ring and left them there. Heyman wept alongside the Las Vegas crowd. If The Beast is truly done, tonight is the night Heyman speaks on it. If he isn't, this is still the first chance WWE gets to frame what that moment meant.
Oba Femi's Arrival on the Main Roster Stage
Femi made his WrestleMania debut by beating Brock Lesnar clean, one of the loudest crowd reactions of the weekend. He's a made man coming out of Mania, and whatever direction WWE chooses for him, whether the world title scene, Money in the Bank, or a marquee feud, tonight is where the campaign starts.
Rhea Ripley Celebrates the WWE Women's Championship Win
Ripley defeated Jade Cargill to win the WWE Women's Championship, her fourth world title. She's advertised for tonight before presumably returning to SmackDown television. Her celebration likely shares the night with Liv Morgan, who also captured gold in Las Vegas.
Liv Morgan and Stephanie Vaquer Take Their Victory Laps
Liv Morgan defeated Stephanie Vaquer on Night 1 to win the Women's World Championship, with assists from Raquel Rodriguez and Roxanne Perez. Both women are advertised for tonight, and the new La Primera faces the first night of defending the title against a Raw locker room that knows how she got the belt.
Penta's First Night as Survivor of the Ladder Match
Penta retained the Intercontinental Championship in the six-way ladder match against Rey Mysterio, Dragon Lee, Je'Von Evans, Rusev, and JD McDonagh. Every loser in that match came out looking stronger, which means Penta has a line of challengers forming. Tonight likely plants the seed for who's first.
Logan Paul After WrestleMania 42
Paul is advertised for Raw tonight coming out of the WrestleMania weekend. His ongoing rivalry with LA Knight and The Usos dominated his pre-Mania programming, and tonight is his first chance to respond to whatever happened in that six-man tag.
Seth Rollins, Bron Breakker, and the Fractured Vision
Bron Breakker cost Seth Rollins his WrestleMania match against Gunther with a spear out of nowhere. The Vision is no longer united, and the Las Vegas crowd will be loud for whatever confrontation kicks off between the two former allies. Neither is officially advertised, but the angle is live.
Road to WWE Backlash 2026
Backlash is the next premium live event on the WWE calendar, though the full date and venue have not been officially confirmed at time of writing. Tonight's fallout sets the foundation for the first round of post-Mania championship programs, with the Women's World, World Heavyweight, and Intercontinental Championships all likely starting new challenger arcs inside T-Mobile Arena.
