The promotional poster for the event features Reigns, Brock Lesnar, Oba Femi, Rhea Ripley, Punk, Vaquer, and Logan Paul. Jey Uso and Intercontinental Champion Penta are also advertised for the program.

In this article, we will discuss how WWE should book the RAW after WrestleMania 42.

#5. Liv Morgan Should Defend the Women’s World Championship Against Stephanie Vaquer

On Night One of WrestleMania 42, Liv Morgan defeated Stephanie Vaquer for the Women’s World Championship. The match lasted less than seven minutes and failed to live up to fans’ expectations, but the competitors were not at fault. WWE did not give enough time to the contest, preventing the two wrestlers from showcasing their skills.

Morgan vs. Vaquer was among the hottest and most personal feuds on the Road to WrestleMania 42. However, the booking of their title match didn’t do justice to their storyline. Hence, the creative team should book a championship match between them on the RAW after ‘Mania.

Tonight’s episode of RAW is one of the most anticipated shows of the year. WWE should shine the spotlight on Morgan and Vaquer on the program because they are the future of the women’s division.

#4. Bron Breakker and The Vision Should Assault Seth Rollins

Seth Rollins has been on a mission to destroy The Vision since he returned to WWE. At WrestleMania 42, Bron Breakker returned and cost Rollins a match against Gunther, who was a representative of Paul Heyman. Given the attack, it is clear that Breakker and The Visionary are expected to continue feuding in the coming weeks.

Since Breakker is now back in WWE, he could reunite with Logan Paul and Austin Theory. Together, the trio should target Rollins and brutally ambush him on the RAW after WrestleMania. The Visionary is at his best when he is an underdog in a storyline. Therefore, the company should book the heels to outnumber Rollins, forcing him to come up with a master plan to get revenge on them.

An in-ring promo battle followed by an unexpected attack on Rollins could intensify the feud ahead of Backlash in Tampa.

#3. Brock Lesnar Should Tease Retirement Before Being Interrupted by Paul Heyman

Brock Lesnar was dominated and overpowered by Oba Femi on the Road to WrestleMania 42. At The Show of Shows, Femi shockingly defeated Lesnar after delivering a massive Fall From Grace. Following the contest, Lesnar embraced Paul Heyman and left his wrestling gloves in the ring, teasing his retirement from in-ring action.

Despite the tease, WWE didn’t outright confirm that it was Lesnar’s final match. The Beast Incarnate is advertised for the RAW after WrestleMania. On tonight’s show, an emotional Lesnar should endorse Femi in a promo and attempt to officially announce his retirement. However, Heyman should interrupt his longtime client and offer him a final chance to redeem himself before his retirement.

The Oracle should arrange a high-profile match for Lesnar at SummerSlam 2026, which is set to take place in The Beast’s hometown, Minnesota. Lesnar should leave the arena without responding to Heyman’s proposal, creating mystery regarding his WWE status.

#2. Finn Balor Should Set His Sights on the Intercontinental Championship

At WrestleMania 42, Finn Balor brought back The Demon King and defeated Dominik Mysterio in a hard-hitting Street Fight. It was a much-needed victory for Balor because he recently underwent a character change. In his final few months as a heel, Balor suffered many major losses, including suffering a defeat to CM Punk in his home country.

The Prince hasn’t won a singles title in WWE in a long time. Following his victory over Dominik, Finn Balor should set his sights on Penta’s Intercontinental Championship. Adam Pearce should book Balor in a number one contender’s match, where the former Universal Champion should reign supreme.

At Backlash 2026, Balor and Penta could lock horns in a potential dream match for the Intercontinental Championship.

#1. Gunther Should Issue a Challenge to Roman Reigns on the RAW After WrestleMania

Gunther picked up a huge win over Seth Rollins at WrestleMania 42 Night One. Meanwhile, Roman Reigns secured the World Heavyweight Championship by defeating CM Punk in the main event of Night Two of The Show of Shows.

Over the past year, The Ring General has retired legends like Goldberg, John Cena, and AJ Styles. He has a lot of momentum on his side and is a massive world title contender coming out of The Showcase of the Immortals. Recently, a report indicated that WWE was planning a feud between the former Imperium leader and the OTC.

Reigns is scheduled to appear on the RAW after WrestleMania. WWE should book the former Intercontinental Champion to interrupt the OTC’s segment and issue a challenge for the world title. Gunther vs. Reigns is a blockbuster feud, and the creative team should sow the seeds for the program as early as tonight’s show to kick off the post-WrestleMania with a bang.
