Smark Out Moment

Tonight's episode of WWE Monday Night Raw for April 2, 2018 is coming to you live from the Philips Arena in Atlanta, GA. Follow along here for ongoing coverage of the results of the show to find out what happens as things occur and chat with fellow WWE fans in the comments below!



NOTE: I'm not going to be writing out anything regarding the video packages. Tonight should feature a lot of that kind of material.

• We're starting things off with Jonathan Coachman moderating a face-off between Triple H, Stephanie McMahon, Kurt Angle and Ronda Rousey. Blah blah blah. Stephanie puts Ronda through a table, crappily, after Ronda almost entirely botched her main line to say earlier in the segment.
• Bayley defeated Sonya Deville by pinfall. Absolution attacks Bayley afterward and Sasha Banks comes to the rescue, then asks Bayley to raise her hand. Bayley hits her and they start to fight. Absolution comes back in and takes them out to make a statement for themselves, since they'll obviously not win on Sunday.
• Seth Rollins defeated Finn Balor by pinfall.
• The Bar say they don't care who Braun Strowman's partner is, because it's still going to be a tag team match and he won't have any chemistry with his partner. Strowman comes out to say that since management told him he had to get a partner, he found one. That partner is a lot like him. Strowman comes out with a pair of glasses and a white dress shirt and says brother is Braun but he's Brains (LOL) They brawl.
• Matt Hardy defeated Goldust by pinfall
• John Cena talks about all the things he's excited to see at WrestleMania as a fan, since The Undertaker hasn't responded. He riles the crowd up and such, but nothing. His music hits and he leaves. No Undertaker.
• Elias performs and insults Atlanta before his match. Elias defeated Heath Slater by pinfall.
• Curt Hawkins, wearing a "pick me Braun" shirt, tries to pitch being Strowman's tag team partner. Strowman asks about his win-loss record. Hawkins says it isn't great, but if he were to pick him, it could be his big break. Strowman throws Hawkins through a wall and says "there's your big break."
• Asuka and Dana Brooke defeated Alexa Bliss and Mickie James by submission. James and Bliss attack the two of them after the match. Nia Jax comes out to attack them. Bliss escapes, but James gets wrecked.
• Paul Heyman blah blahs about how Brock Lesnar will beat Roman Reigns. Reigns comes out and the human shield of a few members of the roster decide to part after he basically asks them nicely to do so. Reigns heads down to the ring and they kiss. I mean, they fight, with Reigns coming out on top after five Superman punches. Then, Lesnar hits an F5 and equalizes everything.
