WWE Raw returns to the USA with just 13 days until WrestleMania 41.
Adam Pearce will again need to commit a section of WWE Raw to sort out the ongoing mess surrounding Rhea Ripley and IYO SKY and who deserves to be the Women’s World Champion and face Bianca Belair in Las Vegas.
A championship is also on the line that could potentially put the wheels in motion for another major update to the WrestleMania 41 match card.
We preview the WWE Raw match card which streams live at 8 PM ET on Netflix from the Target Center in Minneapolis, MN.
NEXT MONDAY on #WWERaw

WWE Raw Match Card (4/7/25)
- Women’s Intercontinental Championship: Lyra Valkyria vs. Bayley
- World Tag Team Championship: The War Raiders vs. The New Day
- Penta vs. Dominik Mysterio
- El Grande Americano vs. Mystery Opponent
- Seth Rollins Appears
Women’s Intercontinental Championship
What an interesting week for Lyra Valkyria and Bayley. The two meet for Valkyria’s women’s Intercontinental Championship on WWE Raw.
Bayley charmed her way to being gifted the opportunity by simply being nice to the Irish champion.
The two women will then team up on SmackDown on Friday in the Tag Team Championship no.1 contender six-team gauntlet match. This sets up all sorts of potential stories between the two, but is a WrestleMania match on the cards?
WWE Raw Match Card Preview
WWE Raw morality lessons continue with Minneapolis native Chad Gable
Gable pretended to be ill to dodge matches in Europe. He then pretended to be El Grande Americano and competed under a mask. Pearce has placed El Grande Americano into a match in Gable’s hometown much to his dismay.
The blatant disrespect to Lucha Libre is conducive with the past 12 months as Gable has disrespected former allies The Alpha Academy. El Grande Americano is in action – not Gable – but his opponent has yet to be revealed.
Will fellow Minnesota boy Otis be the mystery opponent? Or will Otis dust off his old Lucha Libre costume and compete as El Gran Gordo?
Or could Pearce work a deal with WWE SmackDown GM Nick Aldis and secure the services of WWE’s newest masked sensation Rey Fenix?
Seth Rollins will take to the microphone on WWE Raw. Rollins has a tough task to show he’s not a third wheel in the triple-threat match that will headline WrestleMania 41.
Now that CM Punk has revealed Paul Heyman will be in his corner not Roman Reigns’s corner, Rollins’s place in the match is beginning to feel unnecessary.
“The Visionary” will need to use his imagination to make himself the most interesting factor in the match.
Expect “The Final Boss” this week, or next week as the Undisputed WWE Championship build will need The Rock to feel complete.
