It’s that time of year again. WrestleMania is only a few days away. While reading reviews on RAW and fan opinions on the storyline build up leading to the big day, there has been a sense that there hasn’t been that much build up yet. However, the March 23rd edition of RAW silenced the naysayers by dramatically pushing every storyline scheduled for Sunday’s Super Bowl of professional wrestling.
Brock Lesnar and Roman Reigns facing each other in the ring and ending with a tug-of-war over the title will be the last image fans will have of the two in a WWE ring before WrestleMania. After months of build up, from Roman fighting to maintain his title match spot from his Royal Rumble victory to Lesnar’s more frequent appearances, the WWE Universe will want to see how this last image is resolved. Sting working with Randy Orton the previous week on RAW shows a push of both the Rollins/Orton storyline as well as the Sting/Triple H rivalry. Sting meeting Stephanie for the first time and the references to WCW also added much more fuel to the HHH/Sting flame.
You have the Intercontinental Championship match participants fighting with a ladder and Rusev/Cena promotion as well. AJ and Paige ended the night with friction after AJ helped cost Paige her match and Bray Wyatt cut an incredible promo calling out his WrestleMania opponent, The Undertaker. The pre-show tag match and the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal had to be mentioned but were both able to get more steam due to positive delivery from each respective match’s participants. Once again, the RAW before WrestleMania pushes the energy for WrestleMania to a high level, making an even stronger reason that the biggest event of the year should once again live up to its name of being a global phenomenon.
