WrestleMania 42 is right around the corner—you can feel it. Tonight’s Raw rolls into the Toyota Center in Houston, a city with deep WrestleMania history.
For many Attitude Era fans, WrestleMania 17—often called the greatest of all time—set the standard here. With echoes of Stone Cold vs. The Rock and TLC lingering, this second-to-last Raw before WrestleMania has another chance to crank the intensity up another notch before WWE heads to Las Vegas.
It’s already been a packed weekend across the wrestling world. Pat McAfee turned heads with his heel return, NXT delivered at Stand & Deliver, Vince McMahon is dealing with new allegations, and the clock is ticking for anyone hoping to secure a spot on the WrestleMania card.
WWE has lined up three matches and three key segments for tonight’s show. Here’s the full preview.
