Preview...
Despite a number of the WWE’s recent breakout stars headlining both Raw and Smackdown throughout the year, WrestleMania 33 will feel like déjà vu for many, with the main event set to see old rivals Goldberg and Lesnar face off, 13 years after their first Mania encounter.
The Undertaker will also look to stretch his incredible Mania record to 24-1 when he takes on Roman Reigns, while the WWE Championship will be up for grabs when former partners Bray Wyatt and Randy Orton – winner of the Royal Rumble – go head-to-head.
Shane McMahon will return to the squared-circle to take on former champion AJ Styles in a bitter and hate-fuelled feud that stemmed from the latter losing the WWE Championship at the Rumble and subsequently throwing the former through a car window.
Also on the match card, Seth Rollins returns from a knee injury inflicted by Triple H, who turned on his protégé in a long-winded feud that should culminate at WrestleMania.

Can I still buy tickets?

Kevin Owens vs Chris Jericho
Codebreaker! Jericho counters a second Pop-Up Powerbomb attempt and follows up with the pin! The ref stops the count though when Owens places a single finger on the bottom rope.

Raw Women's Fatal Four-Way
It's time for the Raw Women's Championship match, and it's the reigning champion out first as Bayley smiles her way down to the ring, surrounded by Bayley buddies everywhere. Nia Jax is out next, the dominant figure in the women's division in Raw, followed by Sasha Banks, who comes out on the back of what looks like a mini Hot Rod. Finally, Charlotte makes her entry, and it's another grand entry at WrestleMania for the so-called Queen of the women's division.
Raw Women's Fatal Four-Way
It's a dominant start from Nia Jax as her three competitors try to team up and take her out of the match, with Charlotte leading the fight against her. After skittling Charlotte into Sasha and Bayley, the three team up again, and Sashsa grabs the leg of Nia Jax and allows the other two to attack. Banks and Bayley go for a suplex, and Charlotte helps them over with a kick to the head! Charlotte goes for the pin, but it's only 2!
Raw Women's Fatal Four-Way
Charlotte manages to catch Nia Jax on the top rope, and tries to powerbomb her. She's not going to do it alone, but Sashsa and Bayley come to her rescue and it's a Shield-like triple powerbomb! All three jump on to pin Nia Jax, and get the three count!
Nia Jax is eliminated!
Raw Women's Fatal Four-Way
Charlotte forces Sasha and Bayley to fight each other by leaving the ring, and when Banks flips over the top rope into Bayley, Charlotte follows suit and corkscrew moonsaults onto the other two! My that was a thing of beauty.
Raw Women's Fatal Four-Way
Bayley's out of the action, and Banks is taking the fight to Charlotte as she lands the double knees from the top rope before locking in the Bank Statement. Charlotte fights out, and launches Banks into the exposed middle turnbuckle that Charlotte exposed moments before. She pins her!
Sashsa Banks is eliminated!
Raw Women's Fatal Four-Way
That leaves us with two, and Charlotte immediately begins to dominate Bayley. She goes for a second moonsault...nobody home! Charlotte crashes into the mat, and Bayley tries to take full advantage. She misses from the top rope though and Charlotte locks her in the Figure Four! Bayley gets to the rope before she can bridge to the Figure Eight, but Charlotte then hangs Bayley upside down on the turnbuckle and starts delivering kick after kick to her bad left knee.
Raw Women's Fatal Four-Way
Bayley lands the Macho Man Elbow from the top rope! She goes for the pin...
1...2...3!
BAYLEY RETAINS THE RAW WOMEN'S CHAMPIONSHIP!
