In the WWE RAW after Elimination Chamber, we have the fallout in this preview of RAW in Advance for 03/2/26.
With the event featuring a winner of the Women’s and the Men’s Elimination Chamber matches, we were also witness to the winner of the WWE World Championship match between CM Punk and Finn Balor. Between these matches, the WWE Women’s Intercontinental Championship match
But on the road to WrestleMania, it feels as though things are changing on the fly and at breakneck speed. With the injuries to Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed, it appears the vision (pun intended) for the showcase of the immortals has likely undergone a number of changes.
But WrestleMania is more than a month away, and Monday Night Raw is taking place this week. We know that Randy Orton and Drew McIntyre are slated to face one another, and CM Punk and Roman Reigns are certain to face each other on this evening’s Raw. Without further ado, here is our Raw in Advance for 03/2/26 set to take place.
Raw in Advance for 03/2/26
WWE Intercontinental Championship
“Dirty” Dominik Mysterio vs. Penta
As announced last week, the returning Dominik Mysterio will be defending his title against Penta. What seems interesting here is that, rather than moving the Intercontinental title around to keep it a focal point of storylines, it has been put to the side with Mysterio’s injury.
It feels as though this is a safer choice, allowing talent to heal in the event of injury, but it also prevents opportunities to be presented to others that could be showcased if those injuries occur.
This isn’t Penta’s first opportunity either, and while we are likely assured of an entertaining match-up at the risk of suspension of belief, is another Mysterio win due to unscrupulous tactics inevitable?
With talent such as Rusev now rarely featured when they first arrived, that could be given a meaningful singles storyline in pursuit of the title, or the likes of Austin Theory or Grayson Waller could be included in the mix as well.
Raw in Advance for 03/2/26
Dragon Lee vs ‘The Ring General’ Gunther
With Gunther being booked as this ‘Career Killer’, he now faces someone who is spectacular in the ring but feels like an effort to piggyback off the retirement of AJ Styles.
As the former co-WWE tag team champion with Styles, Dragon Lee has wanted to fight for the honor of his now-retired tag team partner.
The challenge with this, however, is whether we can be confident that Lee’s attempt to recapture Styles honor will be achieved?
The non-traditional booking suggests, yes! Gunther’s arrogance and overconfidence get the better of him, and Dragon Lee walks away with a win only causing Gunther to be not only stunned but angry at the same time. While the end game may lead to another potential retirement match, it’s not to
Raw in Advance for 03/2/26
Roman Reigns Returns!
In the aftermath of Elimination Chamber, Roman Reigns will be returning to Monday Night Raw to discuss his upcoming opponent at WrestleMania, CM Punk. What exactly will he say on this evening about the Second City Saint?
After this particular week of Raw, there are seven episodes of Raw before the championship confrontation. While the idea of either Punk or Reigns winning isn’t much of a surprise, we would be hard-pressed to say where two faces went against one another for the World Championship at WrestleMania.
Fans will recall that the Ultimate Warrior and Hulk Hogan faced one another at WrestleMania VI, but to have to clear faces face one another doesn’t immediately stand out as a WrestleMania main event.
What to Expect:
- Will the Very Nice and Very Evil Danhausen appear, and if so, what, or rather who, will he curse?
- Will Stephanie Vaquer and Liv Morgan have a face-to-face confrontation?
- What will Finn Balor do next after his defeat to CM Punk?
