On the Monday Night RAW side, Drew McIntyre and Braun Strowman will team up to take on Mace & T-Bar. The former WWE Champion teamed up with Strowman last week after “The Monster Among Men” saved McIntyre from an assault at the hands of Mace and T-Bar. The former world champions will now team up once again to face Mace and T-Bar in a rematch from last week. The former Retribution members won that match when McIntyre and Strowman were disqualified for assaulting the pair with their masks.
WWE Champion Bobby Lashley is also set to appear on Monday night to address McIntyre ahead of their match at WWE WrestleMania Backlash.

Later in the week, SmackDown will feature two major title matches. After Apollo Crews retained the WWE Intercontinental Championship against Kevin Owens this week, he will once again put his title on the line next Friday. Big E will challenge Crews in a rematch from WWE WrestleMania 37.
Then, in the main event, Roman Reigns will look to both retain his WWE Universal Championship and also banish Daniel Bryan from SmackDown. Reigns challenged Bryan this week on SmackDown with the stipulation that Bryan will have to leave SmackDown if he loses this match.
Needless to say, it’s going to be a big night.
