SPOILERS For Tonight’s 4/23/18 WWE Raw: Main Event, Planned Matches, More
It's WWE's first Monday Night Raw since the company's Superstar Shakeup, and Fightful Select was able to learn what they had on tap for the April 23 show.
WWE Raw will kick off with a ten bell salute to the late Bruno Sammartino, with all the wrestlers and staff on stage, followed by a Sammartino tribute video.
WWE Universal Champion Brock Lesnar and Paul Heyman will follow, and will be confronted by his opponent at this Friday's Greatest Royal Rumble, Roman Reigns.
Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn will be given "The Sami & Kevin Show," which will also feature an appearance by WWE Raw GM Kurt Angle. That won't be all we see of Kurt Angle, as he'll also interact with Chad Gable — his "son" Jason Jordan's former partner.
Elias vs. Bobby Roode, The Woken Wyatts vs. The Ascension, Titus Worldwide vs. Dolph Ziggler & Drew McIntyre, Chad Gable vs. Jinder Mahal, Braun Strowman & Bobby Lashley vs. KO & Zayn, Balor & Rollins vs. The Miztourage. A ten woman tag featuring Nia Jax, Natalya, Bayley, Sasha Banks & Ember Moon vs. Alexa Bliss, Mickie James & Riott Squad will main event.
Other segments include a backstage Riott Squad interview, a Samoa Joe selfie promo, a Finn Balor/Curtis Axel/Bo Dallas interaction backstage, and a Baron Corbin promo.
