WWE Monday Night RAW Results - WrestleMania 36 Go-Home Show, Brock Lesnar, Charlotte Attacks, More
Welcome to our WrestlingINC.com Live WWE Monday Night RAW Viewing Party. Tonight's show comes from the WWE Performance Center in Orlando, FL.
- Tonight's taped WWE RAW broadcast opens up on the USA Network with a video package on the feud between AJ Styles and The Undertaker, to hype their Boneyard Match at WrestleMania 36.
- The camera cuts to a pre-recorded promo from The Undertaker. He addresses AJ Styles and calls him by his real name, Allen Jones, since we're getting real here. Taker says AJ is a small man with a big mouth. Taker doesn't know if AJ has a big set, or he's really just that stupid. Either way, your mouth is writing checks that your ass can't cash. Taker bets AJ thought he could drop some pipe bombs and get under his skin. Taker has heard far worse. Taker says there may be some truth to some stuff AJ said. He goes on about how AJ knows he didn't have what it took to hang "back then" with guys like WWE Hall of Famers Steve Austin, Shawn Michaels, Booker T, Mick Foley, and many others, the best. Taker says AJ waited until they were gone. He goes on and says Allen has stepped in something he can't get out from. Taker gets it, it's just business, but AJ crossed the line the first time he mentioned her, wife Michelle McCool.
Taker goes on and says AJ must be mad McCool does the Faithbreaker, aka the Styles Clash, better than him. Taker says AJ will pay the ultimate price for disrespecting her. Taker, wearing a black leather jacket and skull cap, says if AJ wants to be relevant at WrestleMania 36, there's no better way to make that happen than The Undertaker. Try him he'll make you famous. Taker hopes he brings those two ass clowns Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson with him but they all will feel the holy trinity he's bringing. They will hurt, feel pain and most importantly, they will Rest... In... Peace. The bell tolls as we see AJ's tombstone appear in the background.

- Tom leads us to a preview for The Big Show Show on Netflix, which stars veteran WWE Superstar Big Show. The show premieres on Monday, April 6. Back to commercial.
- We go back to the ring and Kevin Owens is still struggling to get up. We see replays of what just happened and Owens says Seth Rollins may have just kicked some sense into him. Owens says he's been thinking a lot about what Rollins said last week and after what just happened, he has a lot to say and knows Rollins is watching, so listen up. Owens recalls how Rollins said last week that he never trained in this building, but it was built because of him, and everyone should thank him. Owens says he heard this place was actually built despite Rollins. Owens heard Rollins was a nightmare to deal with as soon as Rollins arrived in the old WWE developmental warehouse. He heard Rollins thought he knew everything and no one liked him. Owens says Rollins has proved he's an arrogant dips–t. Owens is well aware of his own past and what people can say because of the path he's chosen. Owens says the difference is he's not delusional like Rollins. Rollins proved him right last week by talking about all of his WrestleMania moments, saying he's a God when it comes to WrestleMania while Owens is just a disappointment. Owens says those words stung and stayed with him but the more he thought, he realized Rollins' view is just as wrong. Owens goes on about how he can claim the same accolades that Rollins can. Owens says he's man enough to admit he didn't get his accomplishments and moments on his own as he had someone helping him in some way. Owens says he's sorry to burst Rollins' bubble but Rollins always had back-up or found some under-handed way to get what he wanted.
Owens says Rollins needs to be honest with himself because the only thing he said last week that made sense was when he was told that his past didn't matter when he first got to WWE, and nothing he'd done before WWE mattered. Owens says that will be so true this weekend when they get in the ring at WrestleMania. Their pasts won't matter. All that matters is how they are going one-on-one. Owens will show Rollins that he's not a God when he takes his first WrestleMania moment from Rollins. Owens says this Saturday he will be the one to burn it down. Owens drops the mic and his music hits as the announcers hype the match.
- Back from the break and we get a video package for the Last Man Standing match between Randy Orton and WWE Hall of Famer Edge at WrestleMania 36. We go to a pre-recorded promo from Edge now. He says Orton may have been right about his recent comments on Edge being a junkie for this. Edge says he just loves the feeling he gets from fans in the arena, the raw connection and energy he gets from them because he comes from them. Edge says let's face it, we're all junkies for this. He recalls being at ringside for Hulk Hogan vs. The Ultimate Warrior. Edge says if you're not a junkie for this, you're just in his way. Edge goes on about grit and says Orton isn't jealous of him, he's jealous about his passions. You can't fabricate passion, either you have it or don't and Edge has it. Orton only has it when Edge is around. Everyone sees it except Orton. Everyone is saying Orton hasn't been this good since Edge was around 9 years ago. Edge says he inspires that passion in Orton and that scares Orton. Edge goes on about how Orton won't be able to pull himself back out after the beating at WrestleMania.
- Still to come, Asuka is here. Back to commercial.
Asuka vs. Kayden Carter
Back from the break and out comes WWE Women's Tag Team Champion Asuka by herself. Tom confirms Nikki Cross and Alexa Bliss vs. The Kabuki Warriors for WrestleMania 36 with the title on the line. WWE NXT Superstar Kayden Carter waits in the ring.

- After the match, Asuka stands tall as we go to replays while her music hits. Asuka stops at the announce table and puts a headset on. Asuka apparently has words for Bliss and Cross but no one is translating.
- Back from the break and Tom shows us what happened earlier today as NXT Women's Champion Rhea Ripley was arriving to the WWE Performance Center. Charlotte Flair attacked her from the side and kicked her into a wall. WWE officials rushed over to get in between them. Flair looked down at Ripley and taunted her, calling her a rookie. Flair told Ripley she will see her at WrestleMania, then tossed her a "Wooo!" before walking off. Ripley slowly got back to her feet and quietly said yes, Flair will see her this weekend.
- Tom leads us to a replay of the No Holds Barred match between Rey Mysterio and WWE Champion Brock Lesnar at the 2019 Survivor Series pay-per-view. We take a few commercial breaks and come back to the finish of the match.
- The announcers hype the WrestleMania 36 card.
- Back from the break and WWE Champion Brock Lesnar is standing in the ring with Paul Heyman for the final red brand segment before WrestleMania 36.
Heyman begins his promo and discusses how he hates pulling back the curtain as he loves the magic of the business, how they entertain the fans. Heyman says this is the final RAW segment before the WrestleMania 36 that is too big for one night. Heyman says they call this the go-home segment to the go-home RAW before WrestleMania and for the last 20 years, more often than not, it's your champion Lesnar that has stood here in this go-home segment. Why is that? Because year in and year out Brock is the beast to slay, the conqueror to conquer, the one to beat on the biggest show of the year. Heyman says this year Drew McIntyre has truly stepped up. Heyman compliments Drew and shows respect. He says Drew is that special, compared to the guy on the street he's that special, compared to the dumbass in the gym who says he can do that WWE stuff he's that special, compared to the special roster in the locker room he's that special. You know who else is special? The Rock, who got laid out and beat by Brock. WWE Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan, who had his blood wiped across Lesnar's chest like some medieval war lord conquering the past. Randy Couture, Shane Carwin, John Cena, The Undertaker – they were all special, legends, icons. Heyman says but when they got in the ring with Lesnar, they were not so god damn special, they were just Brock's b—h.
Lesnar continues to stare straight ahead as Heyman hypes him up. Heyman downplays the Claymore Kick because all the other icons had big moves as well, but none worked against Lesnar on the day where it mattered after the bell rang. Now that Lesnar knows the Claymore is coming – either he will master a strategy that will deny the Claymore, or hew will eat the Claymore and then we find out if the kick can take down Lesnar. Heyman has something for us, more than a spoiler or a prediction. A guarantee. He says Lesnar will be standing here next year int he go-home RAW segment, with the title over his shoulder, and Heyman will be talking about Drew also had a great story to tell, better than the others, but he got beaten "ugly" in 2020 by Lesnar. Heyman says Drew is walking in special this year, but walking out just like everybody else, nothing more than Brock's b—h. The final RAW before WrestleMania 36 goes off the air.
