WWE Raw preview, April 2, 2018: Team Rousey and Team McMahon face off before WrestleMania
On the final Raw before their Mixed Tag Team Match at WrestleMania, Kurt Angle & Ronda Rousey will stand face-to-face with Triple H & Stephanie McMahon. Will these two teams brawl before The Show of Shows? Also on Raw, Seth Rollins battles Finn Bálor one-on-one, six nights before both challenge The Miz for the Intercontinental Championship in a Triple Threat Match on The Grandest Stage of Them All.

Ronda Rousey & Kurt Angle to meet Triple H & Stephanie McMahon face-to-face
The last time Stephanie McMahon was in the same ring as “Rowdy” Ronda Rousey back on March 5, she was handily taken down by the first UFC Women’s Bantamweight Champion.

Triple H and Stephanie are intensely competitive, and it’s clear that Rousey’s takedown of the Raw Commissioner and Kurt Angle’s excruciating Angle Lock on The Game — a move he’s all too familiar with — have only fueled their WrestleMania preparation.

Adding an interesting layer, as reported on WWE's official Twitter account, the WWE Universe will be able to be a part of this face-to-face meeting by asking questions to the respective pairs with the hashtags #TeamRousey and #TeamMcMahon.

Given the pride at stake at WrestleMania in their Mixed Tag Team Match, what will happen when these four powerful personalities converge under the same roof on the final Raw before The Show of Shows?

Will Roman Reigns be ready for WrestleMania?
This past Monday night on Raw, Roman Reigns’ suspension was lifted, and The Big Dog saw fit to incite a brawl with Universal Champion Brock Lesnar, despite suffering a vicious beating at the hands of The Beast Incarnate one week prior.

Reigns is clearly worse for wear after once again being brutalized by The Beast, but he will nevertheless challenge Lesnar for the Universal Title at WrestleMania.

What’s going through Reigns’ mind as that title bout approaches? Will he attempt to stagger The Conqueror before The Show of Shows, despite his previous attempts ending in disaster?

We’ll find out when Raw goes live in Atlanta.

Seth Rollins and Finn Bálor collide in battle for WrestleMania momentum
Even though Seth Rollins and Finn Bálor share a mutual enemy in Intercontinental Champion The Miz, the intensely athletic Superstars are intent on reminding each other in recent weeks that it will be every man for himself in WrestleMania’s Triple Threat Match for The A-Lister’s title.

Bálor defeated Rollins on the March 12 Raw, and The Kingslayer has been determined to get another opportunity against the Bálor Club leader before WrestleMania. After Bálor and Rollins laid waste to The Miz this past Monday night, The Extraordinary Man ambushed The Architect and held the Intercontinental Championship above his head. How will Rollins respond when he clashes with the first Universal Champion six nights before The Show of Shows?

Will The Undertaker respond to John Cena’s WrestleMania challenge?
Week after week, John Cena attempts to provoke The Undertaker, and The Deadman’s silence has spoken volumes.

This past Monday night, The Cenation Leader defeated The Phenom’s brother Kane in a No Disqualification Match, all the while attempting to antagonize his would-be WrestleMania opponent by using The Undertaker’s signature taunts and even a Chokeslam in his battle against The Big Red Machine.

The Undertaker has one more week to respond to Cena’s challenge to a match at The Show of Shows. Will The Deadman rise from the depths on the final Raw before WrestleMania to give Cena an answer, one way or the other?

Can Alexa Bliss evade Nia Jax until WrestleMania?
After Nia Jax decisively defeated Alexa Bliss’ bestie Mickie James this past Monday night, the calculating Raw Women’s Champion attempted an ill-advised cheap shot on The Irresistible Force, prompting Nia to chase off Little Miss Bliss, who once again narrowly avoided a Jax beatdown.

Jax affirmed that there will be nowhere to hide come WrestleMania, but can the so-called Goddess of WWE truly avoid the nigh-unstoppable Nia until then?

Who is Braun Strowman’s partner?
Braun Strowman has beaten both Raw Tag Team Champions in back-to-back weeks, leaving Sheamus & Cesaro curious — and no doubt anxious — about who The Monster Among Men has chosen as his partner in their title bout at WrestleMania.

Raw General Manager Kurt Angle has stipulated that Strowman must find a partner if he is to challenge The Bar at The Showcase of the Immortals. That being the case, will Strowman reveal who he will be tagging with on Raw?

Don’t miss the final Raw before WrestleMania 34, live at 8/7 C on USA Network!

Even The Authority are pointing to the sign. Now it feels like WrestleMania.

Stephanie's first Mania match. Now that feels important.

Being Ronda Rousey doesn't mean she doesn't work for Stephanie McMahon.

I'm surprised he hasn't yet. Seems like the natural progression of this angle.
