WWE has announced a couple of multi-person bouts with potential championship implications for tonight's episode of Raw.

Women's Tag Team Champions Shayna Baszler and Nia Jax will team with Charlotte Flair to face Asuka, Mandy Rose, and Dana Brooke. Flair and Asuka are part of a Triple Threat for the Raw Women's Championship with champion Rhea Ripley at WrestleMania Backlash this Sunday. Baszler and Jax, meanwhile, have been feuding with Brooke and Rose since after WrestleMania 37, though nothing has been booked for Backlash.

Elsewhere, The New Day and R-K-Bro team to face AJ Styles, Omos, Jaxson Ryker, and Elias. Styles and Omos have been Raw Tag Team Champions since felling Xavier Woods and Kofi Kingston at WM 37. The duo aren't on the Backlash card yet, so this match could be used to set something up.
