Kevin Owens segment- Kevin Owens is in the ring and he starts off by saying that he is officially not in Wrestlemania 38. But, he wants to host one of the most stupendous Kevin Owens show at Wrestlemania 38.
He then said he wants a perfect guest for his show, but who it can be? A Texas resident certainly, JBL, Booker T, or Shawn Michaels. Owens took the name off all these legends but also rip off the chances of either of them as his guest.

Owens finally ended the segment by calling out Stone Cold Steve Austin. He said that he wants Texas’ very own Stone Cold Steve Austin so that he could beat the hell out of him and hit a Stunner that would be remembered for years, and then pour a glass of milk on his lifeless body.

Finn Balor vs Austin Theory- As the bell rang, Finn blasted Austin with multiple strikes. However, Theory retaliated soon and was on the attack now. After some back & forth strikes, Theory wore down Balor with her arms wrapped around his neck. The action continued and before heading into commercials, we saw Balor rebounding Theory’s face on the apron.

After the commercial, both men were in the ring and Theory went for a cover after nailing an athletic rolling dropkick. However, the champ kicked out on 2 counts. The two men were showcasing athleticism and precision was on point. We were witnessing a series of near falls, but none of the two men were willing to give up.

With a reverse neck breaker followed by a dropkick into the corner, Finn Balor set Theory for a Coup de Gras. Just when Balor climbed the top turnbuckle for his finisher, Damian Priest emerged out of nowhere and grabbed Balor from the throat to send him throat-first on the top rope.

Liv Morgan & Rhea Ripley vs. Carmella & Queen Zelina- Liv Morgan and Carmela started the proceedings of the match. Liv Morgan was all over Carmella right from the very first minute. Morgan tagged Rhea in and she also was all over Carmella. After taking some beating, Carmella finally tagged Queen Zelina, but she also felt the wrath of the Nightmare.
After some beating, Queen Zelina finally managed to hit a swinging DDT to Rhea and tagged Carmella. Rhea went outside near the steel stairs and got super kicked into the face by Carmella. Rhea’s skull ricocheted on the steel steps and we head into commercials.

After the commercials, we saw Rhea struggling against the Women’s tag-team champions. Carmella rebounded Rhea’s face off the canvas and she was feeling the heat. Carmella was ver the moon and was trash-talking to Liv Morgan. She almost forgot about Rhea who kicked her on the side of the face and tagged Liv Morgan.

Morgan was on fire now and she was taking out Queen Zelina for good as she got the tag from Carmella. In the closing moments, Carmella went near the announce desk and was busy talking to her fiance Corey Graves. She almost forgot about the match and Queen Zelina had no one to tag in her corner. Liv Morgan’s knee to the face followed by Rhea’s Rip Tide ended the match for the Women’s tag-team champs.

Backstage: Kevin Owens revealed that he has an idea for Wrestlemania 38 which he would reveal later in the night.
"I have an idea. And that idea is going to change my #WrestleMania future. I have a plan. And I'm gonna share that plan with everyone later on tonight…"

Edge’s explanation- Edge had a different entry this time around. His music hit for half a second but he came out to the ring in darkness with blue lights on while the music stopped. Edge was donning a suit that glorified his Heel persona. After walking the aisle, soon he was in the middle of the ring with a mic in his hand.
No music. No fanfare. No pyro. No band t-shirt.
This is a much different @EdgeRatedR than the @WWEUniverse has been accustomed to the past two years…#WWERaw pic.twitter.com/mS6mNrdC61
— WWE (@WWE) March 8, 2022
He started off by saying “You think You know me? Maybe not AJ” He then said that he knows AJ is at home and he will speak directly to him.
"You think you know me…?"@EdgeRatedR#WWERaw pic.twitter.com/EtlM1xQgpt
— WWE (@WWE) March 8, 2022
He said that whatever he did to AJ last week was for his good. He wanted to have the best version of AJ at Mania and maybe he has provoked AJ to be in the version everyone wants. Edge end the segment by saying “This is me I have never met before. This is a me I have fallen in love with.”

Omos vs. Apollo Crews- Surprisingly, the first blood was drawn by Apollo Crews with a dropkick, but Omos then made him pay with his power moves. While dealing with Crews, Omos had an eye on Commander Azeez, but it was all struggle for the Nigerian Apollo Crews.

Omos sent Crews outside the ring with a proper blow on the apron. He then rolled him back into the ring to end the match with a double arm chokeslam. It was all easy for Omos as he pinned Crews to win.

Bron Breakker & Tommaso Ciampa vs Dolph Ziggler & Robert Roode- Breakker and Roode started the proceedings of the match and soon we saw the NXT Champ taking Roode up for a vertical suplex. Breakker gave the tag to Ciampa and now the latter was wearing down Riddle for good.

His momentum, however, was halted with a glorious spine buster from Robert Roode. Rode then tagged in Ziggler who tried running into Breakker on the apron, but he smartly evaded him and pulled Tommaso Ciampa outside as we head into commercials.

Miz TV with Logan Paul & Jerry “The King” Lawler- The Miz is in his hometown Cleveland, and the crowd is all behind the hometown guy. He then welcomes another hometown boy to the show Logan Paul, who also happens to be The Miz’s partner at Wrestlemania 38.

Paul started off by saying that he is honored to be the tag partner of Miz, honored to be at Wrestlemania 38, and he is honored to be back home. The Miz then started disrespecting Dominik Mysterio by saying that he got his WWE contract thanks to Rey Mysterio.
Welcome back @JerryLawler!

The Miz had all the praise for Rey but was blaming Dominik by saying that whatever he has achieved in this industry is due to his father. After bragging about Dominik, The Miz introduced another Cleveland’s own Jerry ‘The King’ Lawler.
"I love the city of Cleveland, but Cleveland isn't exactly a #WrestleMania city. I don't even live here anymore……@obj AND @KingJames left here. WINNERS LEAVE CLEVELAND. " – @mikethemiz #WWERaw pic.twitter.com/bjU7a89O5f
— WWE (@WWE) March 8, 2022
After addressing Cleveland and praising them for everything, The Miz, all of a sudden started despising his hometown crowd when Jerry Lawler pitched the idea of having Wrestlemania in Cleveland. The Miz said that Cleveland isn’t a place for the winners to stay as champions like LeBron James and others left Cleveland after winning NBA and he will do the same after defeating The Mysterio’s at Wrestlemania 38.
Backstage: Kevin Patrick went to interview Rollins backstage, but Rollins didn’t utter a word as he was in complete trans and shell shocked after his earlier during the night.

Chad Gable was in action when he pulled Riddle outside the ring from beneath the lower rope and slammed him back-first on the outside. Gable then returned to the ring and exchanged a few blows with Owens, before the latter went for a middle-turnbuckle dive.

Rollins and Owens were on fire as they didn’t let Randy & Otis enter the scene, not even once. They were taking out almost everyone and clearing the ring. Rollins dived from between the ropes on the outside on Riddle and Rollins, and his move was followed by Owens who took the aerial route by diving on the outside on everyone from the top turnbuckle. Rollins rolled Gable inside the ring and Owens went for a frog splash followed by a cover, but Gable kicked out at 2 counts. We head into commercials.
After the commercials, we saw Rollins, Riddle, and Gable inside the ring with Riddle hitting kicks to the chest on both Gable and Rollins. Gable tagged in Otis for the first time during the match, and he started laying out everyone. He first sent Rollins outside and then nailed a body dive on Riddle.

Otis was wearing down Riddle and the latter was desperate to go to his corner and tag in Randy Orton. Riddle finally got an opportunity when Otis missed a body dive. Once Randy was in, he changed the complexion. He started clearing the ring by taking out everyone. A vicious DDT from the middle rope to Seth Rollins and the legal man Chad Gable. He went for an RKO on Gable but missed out.

He then went for an RKO on Rollins and nailed it perfectly. Just when he went for a cover, Kevin Owens pulled him out from underneath the bottom rope only to get slammed on the announce desk back-first by Randy. The Viper continued the same and slammed Gable back-first on the announce desk followed by slamming Otis with the aid of Riddle. We now head into commercials again.

Kevin Owens & Seth Rollins open the show- Seth Rollins starts off on the mic by saying that he and his best pal (Owens) are just moments away from becoming the Raw tag-team champions. Rollins promises to take the title and go to Wrestlemania 38 and Kevin Owens agrees to his words.

Owens once again dragged in Dallas and the people of Dallas. He said that it would be miserable for him to go to Dallas during Wrestlemania 38, but the only blessing in disguise for him would be that he will be going to Dallas with his best friend Seth Rollins. Their segment got interrupted by the Raw tag-team Alpha Academy.
This is Otis.
Otis loves the Alpha Academy.
Otis dislikes when the @WWEUniverse won't shoosh.@WWEGable loves that face. #Ahhhhthankyouuuuuu@otiswwe #WWERaw pic.twitter.com/jKutAyS35o— WWE (@WWE) March 8, 2022
Chad Gable shooshed Owens and Rollins and on his way to the ring, he said that Alpha Academy’s defeat last week at the hands of Owens & Rollins was nothing but a fluke and it is not going to happen again. Now, it was time for the RK-Bro to make their way out to start the proceedings of Monday Night Raw with a triple-threat Raw tag-team match.
