The March 2, 2026, WWE Raw from Indianapolis (8,479 attendees) featured Seth Rollins' vicious attack on Paul Heyman, Roman Reigns' return teasing his WrestleMania 42 clash with champion CM Punk, AJ Lee's Women's Intercontinental Championship celebration, and key matches including Gunther over Dragon Lee and Dominik Mysterio's title defense.
WWE Raw aired live on Netflix from Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis, Indiana, on March 2, 2026, drawing 8,479 fans. The episode advanced storylines toward WrestleMania 42 (April 18-19, Las Vegas) following Elimination Chamber, where CM Punk retained the World Heavyweight Championship against Finn Bálor and AJ Lee won the Women's Intercontinental Championship from Becky Lynch.
The show opened with The Vision faction—Paul Heyman, Logan Paul, and Austin Theory—demanding retribution for Seth Rollins' masked interference that cost Logan the win at Elimination Chamber. Heyman accused Rollins of stealing the WrestleMania main event, while Logan boasted of eliminating three opponents. GM Adam Pearce interrupted, noting Rollins was not medically cleared and referencing the faction's role in injuring Jey Uso.
Masked figures distracted security, enabling Rollins to ambush Heyman with a steel chair shot followed by a Curb Stomp, leaving him bloodied. Medical staff loaded Heyman into an ambulance backstage, where Jimmy Uso attacked Theory in retaliation. LA Knight revealed himself as the driver, abducting Heyman as the vehicle sped off. Pearce was later set to address the chaos.
In matches, Gunther defeated Dragon Lee by Rear-Naked Choke submission after a brutal affair. Gunther targeted Lee's mask with multiple powerbombs—including on the apron and announce table—before unmasking him. The feud stems from Gunther retiring AJ Styles (Lee's former partner) at Royal Rumble. Dragon Lee rallied but tapped after four powerbombs.
Dominik Mysterio defended his Intercontinental Championship against Penta, securing the win to continue his reign.
AJ Lee celebrated her first title in 11 years with a passionate promo, crediting fans and vowing to defend it aggressively while challenging the locker room. Becky Lynch has demanded Pearce reverse the decision. Backstage, Asuka confronted Kairi Sane for lack of support in the women's Elimination Chamber, with AJ intervening before tensions escalated.
Previews hyped Roman Reigns' return en route to challenging Punk at WrestleMania—Reigns, the men's Royal Rumble winner, selected Punk after accusing him of copying his path. Liv Morgan chose Stephanie Vaquer as her Women's World Championship opponent.
