WWE/NXT Live Event Reports, March 22-25: Reigns vs. Cena Again, Owens & Zayn Crash Party, War Machine Debut, Pete Dunne Defends, Much More As Road To WrestleMania Gains Speed!

The road to WrestleMania continues to heat up for WWE, as all three brands were out on the road.

Raw had the usual suspects on the card, although Buffalo became the latest city to witness a house-show meeting between Roman Reigns and John Cena. Over on Smackdown, AJ Styles returned to action, albeit in a limited role teaming with New Day against the quartet of Rusev, Aiden English, Chad Gable and Shelton Benjamin. Smackdown's events also were marked by run-in promos by the "fired" duo of Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn.

After making appearances on last week's loop of live events, War Machine had their first matches under the WWE umbrella on the latest run through the Sunshine State. Working under their real names of Ray Rowe and Todd Smith, the former ROH and IWGP tag champs wrestled on the first night of the loop, in Jacksonville. In other noteworthy news on the NXT shows, Pete Dunne made two defenses of the WWE UK Title.

Next week will mark the last full set of live events before WrestleMania.
