WWE's WrestleMania 35 card just keeps getting bigger, with the promotion adding three new bouts to the expanding lineup on last night's Raw, bringing the current match count to 13.

The first new bout is Intercontinental Champion Bobby Lashley vs. Finn Balor, which was set up when the Irishman defeated 'The All Mighty' and Jinder Mahal in a quick handicap match. The stipulation was that Balor would get the shot if he triumphed; he did so by pinning Mahal, so maybe we'll see 'The Demon' in New York

Up next was Drew McIntyre vs. Roman Reigns. The Scot hit the ring for a promo, challenged 'The Big Dog' to a match, then brawled with the former Universal Champion, with Drew hitting a low blow and the Claymore to stand tall in the end.

Finally, we're getting a four-way WWE Women's Tag Team Title bout in Bayley & Sasha Banks vs. Beth Phoenix & Natalya vs. The IIconics vs. Tamina & Nia Jax. Billie Kay and Peyton Royce weren't in the house, but the match came around when Banks and Bayley announced they'd face all three teams following a brawl with the Divas of Doom and Nia/Tamina.
