WWE RAW Coverage: Flat Tire on Road to Wrestlemania

While the card for this week’s RAW was a massive one, the matches did little to build excitement for the show. The announcement of a Drew McIntyre/Roman Reigns match for Mania was cool, as was Triple H’s promo, but overall, RAW has yet to cash in on the Road to Wrestlemania.

Matches:

Beat the Clock Challenge: WWE RAW Women’s Champion Ronda Rousey vs. Sarah Logan: Rousey tapped out Logan in one minute and 25 seconds.

Beat the Clock Challenge: Charlotte Flair vs. Ruby Riott: Flair had this all wrapped up with Riott in the Figure Four, but couldn’t get the tap out in time.

Beat the Clock Challenge: Liv Morgan vs. Becky Lynch: Lynch could slap on the Disarmor, but she won with a Rollup and beat Rousey’s time.

If Balor Wins, He gets Intercontinental Title Shot at Wrestlemania: Finn Balor vs. Intercontinental Champion Bobby Lashley and Jinder Mahal w/Lio Rush and the Singh Brothers: In spite of interference, Balor got the pitfall victory over Mahal with the Coupe De Grace to earn a WM IC title shot.

WWE RAW Tag Team Champions: The Revival: Scott Dawson and Dash Wilder vs. Ricochet and Aleister Black: After Black took out the Revival with a Dual Black Mass, The One and Only won with the 630.

WWE Women’s Tag Team Champion Sasha Banks w/WWE Women’s Tag Team Champion Bayley vs. Natalya Neihart w/Beth Phoenix: This got thrown out after Nia Jax and Tamina Snuka interfered, but Phoenix destroyed them both.

Baron Corbin vs. Apollo Crews: Corbin won with the End of Days after kicking out of the Frog Splash.

United States Champion Samoa Joe vs. Kurt Angle: Joe had Angle in the Kokina Clutch, but Angle managed to pin Joe while wrapped up.

Last Man Standing: Drew McIntyre vs. Dean Ambrose: McIntyre got the win in an otherwise stale main event.
