If you were looking for a preview of WrestleMania 38, look no further than Raw Monday night, where no less than two matches consisted of Mania opponents facing each other less than two weeks from the biggest show of the year.

Both tag matches on the card Monday night consisted of two of the teams in their respective multi-team tag title matches squaring off. Why these people were facing each other so close to Mania wasn’t really given a good reason. The bouts just served to act as space-fillers with no real consequences.

And then we got the graphics for next week, showing that there would be more in-ring action involving the Mania opponents, because why not? Who needs to watch Mania at this point?

You could probably add the intergender tornado match for the 24/7 Championship to the list, as those four will undoubtedly be doing something together during WrestleMania.
