Last night's WWE Monday Night Raw was a big show in preparation for WrestleMania 42 next month with multiple new matches being announced.
Perhaps the biggest match is one that no one really saw coming: Seth Rollins will take on Gunther. The match was set up after an angle played out last night on Raw where Rollins was announced as being cleared for action; he then promptly went after Paul Heyman but was himself attacked by Gunther, who had been noticeably absent from WWE TV the last few weeks. Later in the show, GM Adam Pearce made Rollins vs. Gunther at WrestleMania official.
Also announced is a WWE Intercontinental Title match with Penta defending the belt in a ladder match against Dragon Lee, JD McDonagh, Je’Von Evans, and Rusev. In other news, Finn Balor will take on Dominik Mysterio, while the rumored multi-team women's tag title match was made official with Lash Legend and Nia Jax putting the straps on the line against Charlotte Flair and Alexa Bliss, The Bella Twins as well as the duo of Bayley and Lyra Valkyria.
