Royal Rumble winners Seth Rollins and Becky Lynch made their official WrestleMania 35 challenges on last night's WWE Raw, with Brock Lesnar and Ronda Rousey falling in their respective crosshairs, as expected.

Both bouts were announced in the show's third hour. Lynch's challenge came after Rousey had overcome Bayley, and she strode out to a thunderous reception from the Phoenix crowd. An electric segment followed, and with Becky still limping from damage sustained in the women's Royal Rumble, her long-awaited clash with the Raw Women's Champion was finally made.

Lesnar and Rollins closed the show. Seth had attempted to announce the bout earlier in the evening, but was interrupted by Dean Ambrose. After besting his former Shield brother one-on-one, 'The Kingslayer' met Brock and Paul Heyman in the ring, flew straight into a brawl, and got thoroughly battered, eating six F5s as Raw went off the air.

Both bouts are potential headliners, though there's no guarantee either will go ahead in their current form, with rumours of a Raw Women's Title Triple Threat still swirling. Don't be surprised if Charlotte Flair is soon added to the Rousey/Lynch mix, perhaps as soon as tonight's SmackDown.
