These WWE Raw results are from the March 23, 2026, episode. WrestleMania storylines continue to heat up, a title was on the line, and two of their biggest cash cows met in the final segment.
After being on the receiving end of a mammoth powerbomb from “The Ruler” Oba Femi last week, ” The Beast Incarnate” Brock Lesnar, accompanied by his advocate, Paul Heyman, opened the show with an in-ring promo. Heyman explained how Femi is another overhyped victim, which triggered The Ruler to enter the ring.
Lesnar got the first blow and picked Femi up for an F5. For the second week in a row, The Ruler ended up getting the best of his WrestleMania opponent, this time reversing the finisher and dumping The Beast Incarnate to the floor.
The WWE World Tag Team Champions Jimmy and Jey Uso and The Vision (Logan Paul and Austin Theory) faced off in a non-title match. Things got interesting when LA Knight made an appearance, throwing brass knuckles at Jey, who used them and got disqualified.
After attacking WWE Women’s Intercontinental Champion AJ Lee last week, “The Man” Becky Lynch had an in-ring promo. Lynch got a few digs in before being interrupted by Lee. The two will meet at WrestleMania for the title.
“The Young OG” Je’Von Evans versus Grayson Waller was next. The match had numerous entertaining high spots and a quick pace, but lacked in wrestling and believable false finishes. Evans was victorious in a straightforward, one-finisher match.
Heyman was back in the ring, this time, alone, with his allies either injured or preoccupied, but he still had the guts to call out Seth Rollins. The call was answered, only for fans to learn it was a trap to break a restraining order.
Heyman’s verbal attack got a little too personal for Rollins as the cops escorted him. In short, he said his wife would get passed around the locker room, and that he’d adopt their daughter.
The Kabuki Warriors (Asuka and Kairi Sane) had a tag team match against Bayley and Lyra Valkyria. It wasn’t a match that kept 100% focus, but there was at least some back-and-forth and false finishes. Valkyria picked up the win for her team. Post-match, the victorious challenged The Irresistible Forces (Nia Jax and Lash Legend) for their WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship next week.
WWE Intercontinental Champion Penta defended that title against “Dirty” Dominik Mysterio. This was about building Mysterio’s rivalry with Finn Balor, who created a distraction to cost him the match.
WWE World Heavyweight Champion CM Punk took to the ring in promotion of his upcoming title defense against Roman Reigns at WrestleMania. After a couple of cheap pops, he explained how it offended him to be called old. Punk then compared himself to some of the best pro athletes in their fields. New flash – he’s no Gordie Howe, Terry Funk, or Nolan Ryan.
Punk was disrespecting a whole bloodline of Samoans when Jey heard enough, but his brother, Jim, came to talk him down. As soon as the more agitated Uso said, “Roman ain’t even out here,” he appeared.
Reigns shocked the audience by sending The Usos to the back. Punk tried to get one last dig on them, but Jey rushed the champ and knocked him out.
Punk’s bad night didn’t end there, as Reigns executed a spear and a powerbomb through the announce desk.
These WWE Raw results answered questions, but also left some in place. Is Femi going to roll Lesnar through WrestleMania, and what’s in store for the Rollins – Heyman storylines? Stay tuned to Stadium Rant for the latest.
