WWE Announces Unique Feature For Last Raw Before WrestleMania
The final episode of WWE Raw has something special for WWE fans to create even more content on the three-hour show.
Paul “Triple H” Levesque and the WWE creative team have a big week ahead of them with the final episode of Raw before WrestleMania taking place on Monday, April 1st from the Barclays Center in Brooklyn.
On that final Raw before WrestleMania 40, WWE announced that “The Final Boss” The Rock would be there along with the Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns. It’s likely like that the rest of The Bloodline will be there too.
During a commercial that aired during WWE Smackdown, the company announced that the first hour of Raw would be commercial-free.
That news will likely make fans happy because there have been segments involving The Rock and Roman Reigns along with their WrestleMania 40 opponents Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins where they get 20+ minutes and have to go to commercials at awkward times. Since Raw is commercial-free in the first hour, WWE could put those major stars out there in that first hour without any break, which could lead to strong television ratings for the show.
What Does WWE Have Planned For WrestleMania 40?
There are currently 11 matches set for WrestleMania 40 following a big women’s tag team match being added on Smackdown. That match will see Bianca Belair team up with Naomi & Jade Cargill in her WrestleMania debut against Damage CTRL’s Asuka, Kairi Sane & Dakota Kai.
Rey Mysterio challenged Santos Escobar and his son Dominik Mysterio to a WrestleMania tag team match against Rey & Dragon Lee, but that’s not official as of this writing. There also could be a match between Bobby Lashley & The Street Profits against Karrion Kross & Authors of Pain although that’s not advertised yet either.
