Top Champion Expected Backstage on RAW As WrestleMania Build Heats Up

WWE is stacking the deck for the April 6 episode of Monday Night RAW, and now there’s another interesting detail behind the scenes as the road to WrestleMania 42 continues.

The show already features major names like Seth Rollins, CM Punk, and Brock Lesnar scheduled to appear, but there’s now word that another top champion is expected to be in the building. With WrestleMania getting closer, WWE has started weaving stories across both RAW and SmackDown, and that trend appears to be continuing this week.

Rhea Ripley has been appearing on SmackDown recently as she prepares for her upcoming WWE Women’s Championship match, but she is still scheduled to compete on RAW tonight. She will reunite with IYO SKY to face B-Fab and Michin in tag team action, keeping her active across both brands during this important stretch.

Ringside News has also confirmed another notable development ahead of the show. WWE Women’s Champion Jade Cargill is expected to be present backstage at RAW in Houston, adding another layer of intrigue as WrestleMania approaches.

The presence of Jade Cargill backstage could signal that WWE is preparing to further connect storylines involving the women’s division, especially with multiple title programs developing at the same time. Even if she doesn’t appear on camera, her being in the building is likely to get attention given her current status as champion.

RAW already has a loaded lineup for the night. Seth Rollins is set to open the show after last week’s attack by GUNTHER, while CM Punk is scheduled to address the WWE Universe following his physical confrontation with Roman Reigns. Brock Lesnar and Oba Femi are also expected to be in the same building again after their recent chaotic encounter, raising the possibility of another tense moment.

With WrestleMania getting closer, WWE clearly isn’t slowing down when it comes to stacking its shows with big names and surprise appearances. If Jade Cargill is indeed backstage, it could be the start of another major moment on the road to the biggest show of the year.

Ringside News will be providing live play-by-play coverage of this week’s show over in our WWE Monday Night RAW coverage hub.
