WWE has announced appearances by World Heavyweight Champion CM Punk, Women's Intercontinental Champion AJ Lee and the returning Roman Reigns for the March 2 episode of Raw in Indianapolis. The show will also feature matches and an address from Raw General Manager Adam Pearce regarding Seth Rollins. This episode follows the Elimination Chamber event and builds toward WrestleMania 42.
The March 2, 2026, episode of WWE Raw is set to take place at the Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis, Indiana, airing live at 8 p.m. ET on Netflix. Raw General Manager Adam Pearce announced the lineup via social media on March 1, stating: "The OTC and the BITW both LIVE on the Flagship!? ✅ Dirty Dom DEFENDS his IC title!? ✅ AJ Lee in the house!? ✅ I will address Seth Rollins!? ✅ #WWERaw is LIVE tomorrow night from Indianapolis!"
Key highlights include the return of Roman Reigns, who was reportedly unimpressed with CM Punk's retention of the WWE World Heavyweight Title against Finn Balor at the recent Elimination Chamber event. Punk, the reigning champion, is scheduled to appear live. Similarly, AJ Lee, who captured the WWE Women’s Intercontinental Title by defeating Becky Lynch at Elimination Chamber—her first singles gold in WWE in over a decade—will also make an in-ring appearance.
In matches, Dominik Mysterio will defend the WWE Intercontinental Championship against Penta, who earned the opportunity by defeating El Grande Americano in a No. 1 Contenders Match. This marks Mysterio's first defense since regaining the title from John Cena at Survivor Series: WarGames in November. Additionally, Gunther faces Dragon Lee, with Lee seeking revenge after Gunther's victory over AJ Styles at the Royal Rumble led to Styles' early retirement.
Adam Pearce will address Seth Rollins' return at Elimination Chamber, where Rollins, recovering from shoulder surgery last fall, revealed himself as the masked man who attacked Logan Paul during the main event. Other talents advertised locally include former Women's Intercontinental Champion Becky Lynch, LA Knight and Women's Elimination Chamber winner Rhea Ripley. The episode advances storylines on the road to WrestleMania 42 in Las Vegas, Nevada.
