Roman Reigns isn’t just appearing on tonight’s WWE RAW — he’s expected to close the entire show.
WWE is ending the April 20 WrestleMania fallout episode with the new World Heavyweight Champion front and center, signaling just how important this moment is for the company coming out of WrestleMania 42. According to a report from Bodyslam, the new World Heavyweight Champion is internally scheduled for the final segment of tonight’s show.
“Sources indicate to Bodyslam that World Heavyweight Champion Roman Reigns will be closing tonight’s episode of WWE RAW.”
Reigns captured the World Heavyweight Championship at WrestleMania 42 after defeating CM Punk in one of the most talked-about matches of the weekend. With that massive win still fresh, closing RAW would give WWE the perfect chance to spotlight the new champion and set the tone for what comes next.
WWE Monday Night RAW will air live from the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada, starting at 8 PM ET. Fans can stream the show on Netflix as WWE continues its new era following WrestleMania 42. Ringside News will also provide live play-by-play coverage throughout the night in the WWE Monday Night RAW results hub.
