Footage is shown from the WWE Live Event at Madison Square Garden this past Saturday. After Brock Lesnar defeated Austin Theory to retain the WWE Championship, WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns and The Bloodline viciously attacked him. They left Lesnar broken and bleeding in Madison Square Garden.

The Raw video plays, and we go into the Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse to see a big pyrotechnics display.

In-Ring: Kevin Owens, Seth Rollins, Alpha Academy

Kevin Owens and Seth “Freakin” Rollins make their way to the ring. Rollins is fired up to kick off Monday Night Raw. Tonight, they’re becoming the Raw Tag Team Champions. Owens says they’re finally going to get their path to WrestleMania. Rollins says it wasn’t that long ago they tried to figure out what WrestleMania would look like without them. Owens says even though he has to compete in a dump like Dallas to be at WrestleMania, he at least gets to do it with his best friend.

Replays are shown from two weeks ago on Raw when Owens and Rollins beat RK-Bro to earn their way into the Raw Tag Team Championship match. Rollins says that was great from two weeks ago, but last week was even better when they beat Alpha Academy. Owens says they are undeniable. It’s undeniable that Shorty G and his partner suck. It’s undeniable that RK-Bro sucks.

Raw Tag Team Champions Alpha Academy interrupts them. Chad Gable comes out to the stage shushing them. The victory last week was erroneous. For the dumdums in Cleveland, that means it was a joke. Gable was still recovering from a Stunner that Owens gave him. Gable is an Olympian and a holder of a Master’s Degree. If anyone deserves to compete at WrestleMania, it’s Master Gable and his number one pupil, Otis. Tonight, they’re finishing this and waltzing onto the Grandest Stage of Them All to defend the titles.

Backstage: RK-Bro

RK-Bro is shown backstage. Kevin Patrick asks if they have any words. Riddle says he has a big vocabulary, but he can’t get them all out. Randy Orton says he has one word for the bro: win! They have to win by any means necessary. They’ve worked too hard for too long to not kick everyone’s ass in the ring and take the titles back.

Miz says this city couldn’t handle WrestleMania’s pyro since the lake would catch on fire. Miz says he doesn’t even live here anymore. Everyone leaves this city. LeBron James won a championship and left. The same reason Cleveland will never host a Super Bowl is the same reason it will never host WrestleMania. The Miz and Logan Paul are taking their talents to WrestleMania because winners leave Cleveland. Miz and Paul walk off as the crowd loudly boos.

Backstage: The Street Profits

The Street Profits are walking backstage when Sarah Schreiber stops them. She asks about their place on the WrestleMania card and how disappointed that they aren’t on the card. Montez Ford says four weeks is plenty of time for them to get onto WrestleMania. Last week, they pinned the new Raw Tag Team Champions RK-Bro. If anyone is next in line for a title shot, it’s them.

Backstage: Kevin Owens

Kevin Owens is pacing backstage. Kevin Patrick asks where Owens’s mindset is at. Owens says he’s not as distraught as his tag team partner. That feeling he felt at the end of the match won’t happen again. Owens has had an epiphany. It’s an idea so brilliant that no one else can have it. That idea will change his WrestleMania future. Owens isn’t ready to share it because some details have to be ironed out. Owens has a plan and will share it later tonight.

Carmella & Queen Zelina vs. Liv Morgan & Rhea Ripley

Backstage: Bianca Belair

Replays are shown of Bianca Belair whipping Becky Lynch in the midsection last week on WWE Raw.

Kevin Patrick asks Bianca Belair if she’ll use her hair as a weapon at WrestleMania. Belair warns Lynch not to touch her hair. Belair is a WrestleMania main eventer and doesn’t need a weapon. The scars may last forever, but what won’t last forever is Becky Lynch’s title reign.

In-Ring: Kevin Owens

Kevin Owens says is officially not going to have a match at WrestleMania, but he thinks he has another way. This is depending on the response to his challenge. Owens wants to have the biggest KO Show in history, but he has to invite some Texas trash. Maybe he could invite that blowhard JBL, but he’s not interesting. Maybe it could be Booker T, but he spent his time as a member of Harlem Heat and then as King Booker with a horrible accent. Owens has no time for hypocrites. Then there’s Shawn Michaels. HBK is a proud Texan, but Owens is a proud Canadian. Out of respect to Bret “The Hitman” Hart, HBK is not invited.

Owens wants to invite a broken-down shell of his former self like Texas. This person is living on past glory and needed knee braces when his career was going on. Nothing would make him happier to beat this guy down at WrestleMania and give him a Stunner the world will talk about for years before pouring a glass of milk on his lifeless body. Owens knows he’s watching and doesn’t think he’s going to show up. The bottom line is he is calling out “Stone Cold” Steve Austin!

The commentators talk about Kevin Owens’s challenge. The KO Show with special guest “Stone Cold” Steve Austin would happen on WrestleMania Saturday if Austin accepts.
