WWE Raw preview, March 13, 2017: The Certified Gs battle Cesaro & Sheamus for massive WrestleMania opportunity
After a brawl with Cesaro & Sheamus ended their Raw Tag Team Championship rematch in calamity, Enzo Amore & Big Cass will face The Swiss Superman & The Celtic Warrior tonight on Raw, marking WWE’s final show at Detroit’s iconic Joe Louis Arena. The winner of that bout will challenge Luke Gallows & Karl Anderson for their tandem titles at WrestleMania Sunday, April 2.

Enzo Amore & Big Cass battle Cesaro & Sheamus for the right to challenge Raw Tag Team Champions Luke Gallows & Karl Anderson at WrestleMania
Controversy seems to follow Enzo Amore & Big Cass wherever they go these days. After the Raw Tag Team Titles slipped through their fingers at WWE Fastlane (thanks to a little rule-bending by defending champions Luke Gallows & Karl Anderson), The Certified Gs sparked an accidental brawl with Cesaro & Sheamus during their rematch the following night. The melee resulted in boots to faces, bruised egos and one nagging question: Who deserves to face Gallows & Anderson for the Raw Tag Team Titles at this year’s WrestleMania?

Fortunately, per Raw General Manager Mick Foley, we’ll have our answer Monday night, when Enzo & Cass take on Cesaro & Sheamus for the right to challenge the so-called “good brothers” on The Grandest Stage of Them All.

Although The Swiss Superman’s partnership with The Celtic Warrior had some unstable origins, the brawlers were able to work together to capture Team Red’s tandem titles at Roadblock: End of the Line, ending The New Day’s record-breaking 483-day championship reign. The titles have eluded the unlikely allies since their defeat to Gallows & Anderson at WWE Royal Rumble, but a win Monday night could propel Cesaro & Sheamus into the spotlight of The Show of Shows.

Enzo & Cass, meanwhile, have yet to capture a championship of any kind in WWE since their Raw debut last spring. Nevertheless, they’ve firmly cemented themselves in the Raw Tag Team Title picture in recent weeks. A win this Monday will bring The Realest Guys in the Room that much closer to becoming “The Realest Champs in the Room” on The Grandest Stage of Them All, nearly one year to the day after they first emerged on Team Red.

Which of these indomitable teams will square off with Gallows & Anderson at The Show of Shows on Sunday, April 2? Don’t miss this must-see match Monday night on Raw, at 8/7 C, on USA Network.

How will Roman Reigns respond to his intense encounter with The Undertaker?
Last Monday night on Raw, Roman Reigns stared into the abyss — and boy, did the abyss stare back.

After staring down the monstrous Braun Strowman in the middle of the ring, the returning Undertaker was soon face-to-face with Roman Reigns, who reminded The Deadman, “This is my yard now.” After a brief pause in which both men gazed at the WrestleMania sign hanging from the roof of Chicago’s Allstate Arena, The Phenom swiftly grabbed The Big Dog by the throat and sent him crashing to the canvas with a chokeslam.

Reigns has yet to address his confrontation with The Undertaker, but it was announced Monday afternoon, via the WWE's official Twitter account, that the two powerful Superstars will now officially square off at WrestleMania.


Expect major fallout from their fateful face-off and this colossal match announcement.

When “The Man” comes around at WrestleMania
Seth Rollins is determined to ramp up rehabilitation for his right MCL tear to make it to WrestleMania and attain retribution against Triple H. However, The Cerebral Assassin remains unconvinced that The Architect is in any shape to make it to The Show of Shows, let alone face him in the ring. And if Rollins does happen to show up at WrestleMania, Triple H claims, “all that is waiting for him there is a nightmare.”

As hard as Rollins is working to get back to 100 percent, WrestleMania is mere weeks away. Will Rollins defy doctors’ expectations — or their orders — and look for a fight with The Game at The Showcase of the Immortals?

Brock Lesnar has us all “shook"
When Brock Lesnar offers to give you a handshake, beware. This is advice new Universal Champion Goldberg could have used Monday night, when The Beast Incarnate’s seemingly benign congratulatory gesture left the WCW icon vulnerable to a savage and swift F-5 that turned Goldberg’s moment of triumph into one of tumult.

Indeed, it appears Lesnar is far more prepared for his WrestleMania rematch with Goldberg than he was for their Mega Match at Survivor Series, when The Beast was conquered in just one minute, 26 seconds. Will Goldberg’s championship reign come to a painful end at The Showcase of the Immortals? Until then, The Road to WrestleMania will be full of twists and turns for both of these juggernauts.

Will Kevin Owens get “It” before The Show of Shows?
One night after costing Kevin Owens the Universal Championship at WWE Fastlane, Chris Jericho addressed the WWE Universe in Chicago — the very city in which he made his WWE debut — and further endeared himself to the masses by challenging The Prizefighter to a match at WrestleMania, where his own United States Championship will be on the line.

Owens and Jericho went on to battle Sami Zayn and Samoa Joe later that night, respectively, but their paths are sure to cross many times before their anticipated collision on The Grandest Stage of Them All. Will Owens make it to “The List” before WrestleMania, or might Jericho wish he hadn’t gotten involved in WWE Fastlane’s Universal Championship Match?

Still wondering why they just didn't have Roman come out and outright challenge taker then have a pre-tape of Taker accepting or waiting for next week?

They should do an arena tug job like they did for the garden a few years ago.

You would think we'd have to wait until tonight at least to see a challenge made or accepted.

It's time for The Beast to be unleashed on Goldberg. Make him your bitch.
