WWE Raw April 7 Preview: Title Clash, Rollins Returns & Fallout From London Mayhem

When and Where to Watch

The April 7 edition of WWE Raw goes live tonight at 8 PM ET / 5 PM PT on Netflix, promising intense matchups, returning superstars, and fallout from last week’s drama in London’s O2 Arena.

Main Event: Lyra Valkyria Defends Her Title Against Bayley

Women’s Intercontinental Championship Match

It’s official! Lyra Valkyria, fresh off a major win, will put her WWE Women’s Intercontinental Championship on the line tonight against none other than Bayley.

Bayley, a veteran and fan-favorite, is looking to add another title to her storied career. But Valkyria isn’t backing down. This will be her first major title defense since winning the belt—and she’s got something to prove.

Will Bayley outsmart the rising star, or will Valkyria cement her dominance?

Seth Rollins Returns to Raw!

After weeks of absence, Seth “Freakin’” Rollins is finally back—and fans are buzzing about what he’ll say and do.

There’s speculation that Rollins might insert himself into the WrestleMania title scene, or address The Judgment Day faction, who’ve been running wild across both Raw and SmackDown. Some are even wondering if he’ll target Gunther and the Intercontinental Championship.

Expect fireworks—verbal or physical.

El Grande Americano Steps Back Into the Ring

The mysterious and entertaining El Grande Americano returns to action tonight. He’s quickly become a fan favorite thanks to his over-the-top persona and flashy ring style.

While his opponent hasn't been announced, his matches always deliver crowd-pleasing moments. Could we see a new rivalry begin tonight?

What to Expect Tonight on Raw

Will The Judgment Day Implode?

Tensions are rising in The Judgment Day. With both Finn Bálor and Dominik Mysterio eyeing a run at the Intercontinental Championship, expect jealousy and power plays tonight. Could a split be on the horizon?

Will Jey Uso Seek Revenge?

After watching his brother get ambushed, Jey Uso may be plotting retaliation. With Gunther growing more dangerous each week, Jey might risk everything to even the score.

Will Rollins Make a WrestleMania Statement?

With only weeks to go before WrestleMania, Seth Rollins' return could shift the entire landscape. Will he issue a challenge? Or call out an old rival?

Women’s Division Heating Up
