WWE has confirmed the match for tonight's episode of Raw, following on from last week's main event, when Strowman, Orton, and Drew McIntyre worked a WWE Title contendership Triple Threat. McIntyre ended up taking the victory, pinning Randy after hitting him with a Claymore when it looked like Orton had Braun defeated via RKO.

On top of this, WWE has also booked a singles match between Asuka and Charlotte Flair. This comes after Flair's big return angle last week, which saw Charlotte attack both Asuka and Rhea Ripley after cementing her heel turn in a promo, setting her targets on the Raw Women's Title in the process.

WWE is also advertising a follow up on T-Bar and Mace's assault on McIntyre last week. The former RETRIBUTION duo laid Drew out after the main event, seemingly at MVP's behest.

The company's next pay-per-view, WrestleMania Backlash, goes down on 16 May. McIntyre vs. WWE Champion Bobby Lashley is the only bout to be confirmed for it thus far.
