WWE Raw Match Card for March 16, 2026
Here are the matches and segments announced for tonight's show:
Roman Reigns Returns
The Original Tribal Chief makes his return to Raw tonight for the first time since CM Punk made deeply personal remarks referencing Reigns' late father, Sika Anoa'i. Punk's comments two weeks ago sent shockwaves through the locker room and prompted a tense confrontation last week between Punk and The Usos.
Reigns is expected to respond directly to Punk tonight with WrestleMania 42 — and the World Heavyweight Championship — on the line. WWE has confirmed Reigns for three consecutive Raw appearances leading into the Show of Shows, making tonight the opening salvo.
Women's Intercontinental Champion AJ Lee vs. Bayley
AJ Lee puts the Women's Intercontinental Championship on the line against Bayley, who earned this title shot by winning a gauntlet match on last week's Raw. This is Lee's first title defense and a high-profile test heading into the WrestleMania season.
Who Will Answer Brock Lesnar's WrestleMania Challenge?
Brock Lesnar returns to Raw tonight looking for an answer to his WrestleMania open challenge, which he issued back on February 23 alongside Paul Heyman. Oba Femi has been heavily rumored as the man to step up and face The Beast Incarnate in Las Vegas.
Stephanie Vaquer vs. Raquel Rodriguez
Women's World Champion Stephanie Vaquer is in non-title action tonight against Raquel Rodriguez. With Liv Morgan circling as a WrestleMania challenger, this match figures to tie into the growing rivalry between Vaquer and Morgan ahead of WrestleMania 42.
"Original" El Grande Americano vs. El Grande Americano
The identity war between the original masked star and Los Americanos' El Grande Americano comes to a head tonight in a long-awaited singles showdown. The match stems from last week when the Los Americanos version stole an Intercontinental title opportunity. A Mask vs. Mask match at WrestleMania has been speculated as the endgame.
Maxxine Dupri vs. Nattie
A personal rivalry between Maxxine Dupri and Natalya continues tonight in singles competition.
The Judgment Day Appears
Dominik Mysterio and the newly restructured Judgment Day are advertised for tonight's show. Following last week's brutal beatdown and expulsion of Finn Balor, Dominik is now firmly positioned as the faction's leader heading into WrestleMania.
Road to WWE WrestleMania 42
WrestleMania 42 takes place April 18–19 at Allegiant Stadium in Paradise, Nevada. Tonight's Raw is one of the final major episodes before the card fully takes shape, making nearly every segment critical in terms of storyline direction.
