WrestleMania 42 is quickly taking shape as WWE prepares major announcements during this week’s episode of RAW, the final show before the Elimination Chamber event. Anticipation is high as storylines progress and several prominent performers prepare to make their returns or set the stage for their matches at the biggest event of the year.
Liv Morgan’s WrestleMania Opponent to Be Revealed
Liv Morgan, who secured victory in this year’s Women’s Royal Rumble, is expected to announce her choice of WrestleMania 42 challenger during Monday’s RAW. Recently, Morgan—also known as the Miracle Kid—has appeared across both brands as she weighs her options for the big match. Tensions escalated last week when the Women’s World Champion Stephanie Vaquer confronted Liv during an intense face-to-face interview, which left Morgan visibly emotional. This confrontation sets the stage for Morgan to potentially select Vaquer as her opponent, officially confirming their WrestleMania clash.
Brock Lesnar Returns to Confront Oba Femi
After competing in the Men’s Royal Rumble match, Brock Lesnar is scheduled to return to RAW for the first time since the event. Lesnar’s dominant performance included eliminating fan favorite Oba Femi, the former NXT Champion, intensifying their rivalry. Upon his return, Lesnar may face off with Femi, leading to an on-screen confrontation that could culminate in WWE official Adam Pearce announcing a singles match between the two at WrestleMania 42.
AJ Styles’ Tribute and Potential Rematch Against Gunther III
This week’s Atlanta-based RAW will feature a special tribute to AJ Styles, marking his first appearance since retiring at the Royal Rumble. Gunther III, having failed to qualify for the Men’s Elimination Chamber match and therefore removed from the World title picture, is expected to interrupt the segment. Gunther may issue a renewed challenge to Styles, aiming for revenge for previous encounters involving John Cena and himself. This exchange could solidify an official WrestleMania 42 match between the two veterans, adding emotional weight to the event.
These potential match announcements are likely to heighten anticipation for WrestleMania 42, as WWE utilizes RAW to advance key storylines and set the stage for a memorable show. With major returns and heated rivalries on the horizon, fans can expect RAW to deliver significant moments that pave the road to Mania.
