Check out the lineup for next week’s episode of WWE Monday Night Raw including the Women’s Intercontinental Championship match, the Americanos against each other, Roman Reigns and more.
Tonight on WWE Raw (March 9, 2026), Bayley won the No. 1 contender’s gauntlet match to determine the next challenger for AJ Lee’s WWE Women’s Intercontinental Championship. Lyra Valkyria had started the match with Iyo Sky, with Sky advancing. Raquel Rodriguez also lost to Sky and attacked her after that decision to set up an easy pin for Ivy Nile to take advantage of. Nile was then eliminated by Bayley, who disposed of Asuka to win the match.
Bayley gets her shot at Lee’s title next week on Monday Night Raw, set to take place at the Frost Bank Center in San Antonio, Texas on March 16, 2026.

Also scheduled for that show will be an appearance by Brock Lesnar, who has a limited amount of dates he’s working on The Road to WrestleMania. Paul Heyman was written off television due to the attack last week by Seth Rollins, so The Beast Incarnate will be there without his usual advocate and mouthpiece. What does this mean for the open challenge to settle an opponent for him at WrestleMania?
As far as The Grandest Stage of Them All is concerned, Roman Reigns will also be in attendance on Raw. He hasn’t been advertised for anything in particular other than just being there live, but one would assume he’ll address CM Punk’s comments from this week and respond about their face-to-face the week prior.
Lastly, it was announced that we’ll see El Grande Americano vs. El Grande Americano as the original luchador (Chad Gable) will face the fake replacement (Ludwig Kaiser) one-on-one. On this week’s episode, Original El Grande Americano was set to face Penta for the Men’s Intercontinental Championship, but was cursed by Danhausen and replaced by the other, who ultimately came up short in his bid to win the title.
With all that in mind, here is a recap of what has been advertised for next week’s episode of WWE Monday Night Raw:
- Brock Lesnar will make an appearance
- Roman Reigns will also be there live
- WWE Women’s Intercontinental Championship Match: AJ Lee (c) vs. Bayley
- Original El Grande Americano vs. El Grande Americano
