WWE Raw goes live tonight from the Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis.

The last time WWE rolled through Indy, fans got a flat-out bad Wrestlepalooza. Tonight feels different. With WrestleMania season in full sprint, this Raw marks the uninterrupted 100-mph ride toward the biggest show of the year.

Coming off Elimination Chamber, the creative direction is locked in. I was in Chicago — posted up on the entrance ramp — and the energy leaving that building was undeniable. The love for CM Punk spilled into the streets long after the show ended.

Does that momentum carry over to Indy? We’re about to find out, because the Original Tribal Chief Roman Reigns returns tonight.

WWE Raw — March 2, 2026 — Full Card

Roman Reigns Returns
Reigns and World Heavyweight Champion CM Punk will be under the same roof. Reigns has been active on X, joking that he couldn’t tell who looked more tired — Punk or the Chicago crowd — a line Punk fired back at during the Chamber post-show. Expect these two to unload on each other.

AJ Lee Appears Live
New Women’s Intercontinental Champion AJ Lee is set for Raw. Meanwhile, Becky Lynch has issued an “official statement” on social media demanding Adam Pearce take action against Jessika Carr. Translation: this rivalry is nowhere near finished.

Seth Rollins Addresses the WWE Universe
Seth Rollins revealed himself Saturday as the masked man, launching the next chapter of The Vision storyline. Raw GM Adam Pearce says Rollins will be involved tonight, so expect direction — and likely disruption.

After choosing Stephanie Vaquer as her WrestleMania 42 opponent, how will Indy respond to Liv Morgan? There’s been a noticeable trend of louder reactions for Liv over Vaquer. We’ll see if that holds tonight.
