WWE Raw Full Preview: Roman Reigns Answers Fatu, Joe Hendry Debuts, Seth Rollins Opens

WWE Raw heads to the Sames Auto Arena in Laredo, Texas tonight for what shapes up as one of the most loaded post-WrestleMania episodes of the season. The show features Roman Reigns officially responding to Jacob Fatu’s World Heavyweight Championship challenge for Backlash, Joe Hendry’s official Raw debut celebration, and the return of new Women’s Intercontinental Champion Becky Lynch — alongside a star-studded list of additional appearances.

Roman Reigns will confront Jacob Fatu to give his official answer on the Backlash championship match following Fatu’s callout at the WrestleMania 42 post-show and Reigns’ declaration that fans would see him all summer. Seth Rollins kicks off the broadcast in his first Raw appearance since Bron Breakker’s WrestleMania 42 spear left him with a black eye. Joe Hendry holds his official debut concert on the red brand following his call-up confirmation last week. Becky Lynch appears as the new Women’s Intercontinental Champion after defeating AJ Lee at WrestleMania 42 Night One.

WWE Raw Tonight Also Features Bayley and Lyra Valkyria vs. Judgment Day’s Raquel and Roxanne With Liv Morgan Ringside

Also scheduled for Laredo are CM Punk, WWE Women’s World Champion Liv Morgan, Stephanie Vaquer, Rhea Ripley, and Logan Paul — a roster of appearances that gives the show significant championship and storyline weight across multiple divisions. Bayley and Lyra Valkyria face Raquel Rodriguez and Roxanne Perez in tag team action with Morgan accompanying the Judgment Day side. WWE Raw airs live tonight on Netflix at 8 PM ET.
