WWE Raw is loading up for a packed night in Houston, and Adam Pearce has now confirmed what fans can expect when the show goes live on Monday.

The Raw General Manager announced that Seth Rollins will be the one to kick things off this week, setting the tone for a show that continues the road to WrestleMania. Rollins has plenty to address after being attacked by Gunther on last week’s episode, which only added more heat to their upcoming WrestleMania clash.

CM Punk is also scheduled to appear, continuing his involvement in major storylines as WrestleMania draws closer. Another major point of interest is that Oba Femi and Brock Lesnar will both be in the same building, creating the potential for a tense situation if the two cross paths.

The match card itself features several notable bouts, including a rare singles match between Judgment Day teammates Finn Balor and JD McDonagh. The two are former World Tag Team Champions together, so seeing them face off one-on-one adds an interesting twist to the show.

The women’s division will also be featured, as Rhea Ripley teams up with IYO SKY to take on B-Fab and Michin. With Ripley continuing to stay active ahead of WrestleMania, this match could carry storyline momentum into the premium live event.

Another matchup announced for the night will see Austin Theory, accompanied by Logan Paul, take on LA Knight in singles competition. With both men known for their personalities as much as their in-ring work, this match could easily spark reactions from the Houston crowd.

Monday’s show will take place at the Toyota Center in Houston, Texas, setting the stage for what looks like a stacked night of action as WrestleMania season continues.

Here is the updated lineup for WWE Raw on Monday, April 6, 2026:

  • Seth Rollins to kick off the show
  • We will hear from CM Punk
  • Oba Femi and Brock Lesnar will be in the same building
  • Finn Balor vs. JD McDonagh
  • Rhea Ripley & IYO SKY vs. B-Fab & Michin
  • Austin Theory w/Logan Paul vs. LA Knight

With several big names scheduled to appear and multiple matches set, this episode of Raw could shape the direction of several WrestleMania storylines heading into one of WWE’s biggest weeks of the year.
