WWE has the final Monday Night Raw on the Road to Wrestlemania 32 tonight live from the Barclay’s Center in Brooklyn, New York.
It’s sure to be a rowdy crowd, and all the puzzle pieces for Wrestlemania 32 are booked to appear on the show! Brock Lesnar, Shane McMahon, The Undertaker, Triple H, Vince McMahon, and Roman Reigns are all set to appear on Raw, which will be the final Raw before WrestleMania 32.
Interestingly, WWE.com is promoting 2 out of the 3 main matches above all else for Raw. First, the street fight between Dean Ambrose and Brock Lesnar takes center stage, and the Shane McMahon vs. Undertaker match also gets a top mention. However, HHH vs. Roman Reigns is mentioned lower.

After his kendo stick assault on Brock Lesnar on SmackDown ended in an F-5, Dean Ambrose will have retribution on his restless mind when he enters the Barclays Center for Raw. Will The Beast Incarnate be waiting in Brooklyn, N.Y., six nights before their No Holds Barred Street Fight at WrestleMania? Plus, how will Shane McMahon and The Undertaker respond to Mr. McMahon’s announcement that, if The Deadman does not defeat WWE’s prodigal son inside Hell in a Cell, this will be his last appearance on The Grandest Stage of Them All? WWE.com previews the final Raw before WrestleMania 32.
Roman Reigns and HHH will battle over the WWE World Heavyweight Title at Wrestlemania 32. This is the last before they do battle, and all signs point to Roman picking up the title at the big show. What type of obstacles will HHH, Stephanie McMahon as the Authority put in Roman’s way? And how will the Big Dog respond?

Shane McMahon will make his final case on Raw for the match against the Undertaker at Wrestlemania 32. Shane has not addressed the WWE Universe since Vince McMahon put the Undertaker’s Wrestlemania career on the line in the match. This should give Shane even more pause heading into the match, despite his extensive MMA training.
The Divas Title situation has heated up with all three combatants – Charlotte, Becky Lynch and Sasha Banks – at odds with each other, and the x-factor of Ric Flair to deal with as well.
Nikki Bella posted a health update on Instagram:

And will reportedly appear on TV tonight on Raw! Her sister, Brie, is set to be part of a huge diva’s tag team match for Wrestlemania 32. There look to be 10 divas involved with the match with 2 5 woman teams. The heel team seems set as Lana, Tamina and Naomi, with Summer Rae & Emma apparently added last week. That leaves the other team with only 4 – Natalya, Paige, Alicia Fox and Brie Bella. It’s unlikely that Nikki can be in the match, and there are rumors that it will be Eva Marie. We should find out this week on Raw.
The major stars from the Attitude Era are all scheduled to be a part of WWE Wrestlemania 32 in some fashion. However, almost none of them have confirmed roles on the show.
How will Mick Foley, Shawn Michaels, Stone Cold Steve Austin and the Rock be involved at the biggest show of the year?
One rumor with The Rock is that he will somehow inject himself into the match between the New Day and the League of Nations. Currently that match is scheduled to be a 3 on 4 handicap match, and was recently revealed not to be for the WWE Tag Team Titles any longer.
With the Rock interacting not only with the New Day but extensively with the League of Nations’ Rusev on his last Raw appearance, will the Great One make a surprise appearance in Brooklyn? And even if not, will he FEEL THE POWER of the New Day at Wrestlemania?
Chris Jericho and AJ Styles appear headed fora huge one on one match at Wresltemania 32 to continue their feud. However, unlike the other 10 matches set for the show. In fact, Jericho continues to deny that the match will happen at all, pledging to sit out Wrestlemania.
On Twitter, Jericho keeps it going:
You shouldn’t. It ain’t happening. https://t.co/Ssmkpf1M6Q

I agree. https://t.co/vHGODdmZ8g

Jericho looked particularly crazed last week:
What will AJ Styles do on Raw to convince Jericho to take the match? And if not, what are the plans for both at Wrestlemania 32?
