WWE Raw Live from Sacramento

The upcoming episode of Monday Night Raw is set to air live from the Golden 1 Center in Sacramento, California, on April 13. This marks the final Raw before WWE WrestleMania 42, scheduled for April 18 and 19. As the countdown to this major event continues, fans can expect all key figures to make appearances on the show to hype up the excitement.

General Manager Adam Pearce recently shared a video on social media detailing his plans for the evening. He confirmed that fans can look forward to live appearances from notable stars including Roman Reigns, Brock Lesnar, GUNTHER, Seth Rollins, Oba Femi, and World Heavyweight Champion CM Punk. Given that this is the go-home show for WrestleMania, their presence is certainly anticipated.

However, Pearce has been tight-lipped about additional surprises, stating he is keeping his plans close to his chest. This raises questions about what surprises might be in store for the audience. While a significant match would be a thrilling addition, WWE has not announced any matches for this episode.

Since the Royal Rumble over two months ago, neither Roman Reigns nor Brock Lesnar has participated in an official match. CM Punk has also been absent from the ring since the Elimination Chamber in February, and Seth Rollins has been sidelined due to an injury requiring surgery. Meanwhile, Oba Femi has not competed in over a month, and GUNTHER last wrestled in early March. With WrestleMania just around the corner, it seems unlikely WWE will risk injuries to these top talents, so fans might witness more verbal confrontations and backstage antics rather than actual matches.
