It's Austin 3:16 Day and WWE Raw on Netflix is in San Antonio, Texas. Might the WWE Universe hear the glass break on this week's show?

It might not be "Stone Cold" Steve Austin, but WWE will have major appearances by major stars that are set for major matches at WrestleMania 42 in just a handful of weeks. One of those appearances is from none other than "The Beast" Brock Lesnar.

Lesnar appeared on Raw prior to the WWE Elimination Chamber PLE. On that show, he said that at WrestleMania, he would essentially issue an open challenge for a match. Lesnar's advocate, Paul Heyman, put a call out to anyone in the locker room to take Lesnar up on the offer and accept the challenge.

Tonight on Raw, Lesnar will appear again and see if anyone has decided to take the offer to face him at WrestleMania. Last week, reports surfaced that Oba Femi would be the man to face Lesnar. Will Femi and Lesnar face off? We'll find out tonight.

Roman Reigns will be on this week's episode of Raw as well. Last week on the show, The Usos came to Reigns' defense about what CM Punk had said to him about his father. Punk said he would bury Reigns next to his Dad and The Usos demanded an apology for those disrespectful words.

This week, Reigns will be on hand to address those comments himself. Will the Tribal Chief demand an apology from Punk? What will he have to say to The Usos for going to bat for him last week? Reigns and Punk wrestle in the main event of WrestleMania 42, and tempers are high. Will both men get physical for the first time since becoming opponents?

AJ Lee won the WWE Women's Intercontinental Championship from Becky Lynch at Elimination Chamber. Lee will make her first title defense on this week's episode of Raw. Last week, Bayley won a gauntlet match to earn her shot at the title and will cash in that shot on this week's show. Can AJ Lee stay champion and head into WrestleMania with the belt?

-Raw began with shots of CM Punk, AJ Lee, Stephanie Vaquer, and others arriving to the building.

-In the ring, men in black masks surrounded the ring like last week. Eventually, Seth Rollins showed himself. Rollins said that he made The Vision and could kill it any time he wanted to. He said that anyone with Paul Heyman is marked for death.

-A disheveled Paul Heyman walked out onto the ramp. He looked awful. Rollins told him that the worst move he ever made was letting Heyman into his inner circle. Rollins said he would drive Heyman out of the business.

-Heyman told Rollins that he didn't want to walk out there, but that he couldn't miss what would happen. Heyman then brought out Brock Lesnar. Lesnar walked to the ring and destroyed the masked men around Rollins. Lesnar and Rollins stood face to face in the ring, but then the lights went out and Oba Femi's music played.

-Femi got in the ring and Lesnar walked up to him. Rollins walked at him to and Lesnar lunged at him. Rollins rolled out of the ring, but Femi got Lesnar. Femi lifted Lesnar up for the Last Ride Powerbomb and connected as the crowd roared. Femi then stepped on Lesnar, pointed at the WrestleMania sign, and seemingly accepted Lesnar's WrestleMania challenge.

-The imposter El Grande Americano defeated The Original El Grande Americano. The imposter put a metal plate in his mask. Then the original tried to hit his top rope headbutt, but landed right on the metal. This knocked Original El Grande out and he was covered for the pin.

-Backstage, Roman Reigns was shown arriving to the building. He got out of his car and The Usos approached him. Reigns was proud of what The Usos did to CM Punk last week and said that there had to be consequences for people's actions.

-Reigns turned to the camera and told his entire family that they should want revenge for what Punk said. Reigns said before and after WrestleMania was open, but on that weekend, Punk was his.

-A pre-taped vignette aired from Liv Morgan. Morgan addressed The Judgment Day turning on Finn Balor. Morgan said turning on Balor was her plan all along. She said she had been executing her plan and Balor didn't even know it. Morgan said that Raquel Rodriguez would beat Stephanie Vaquer and the world would have to watch them.

-Backstage, Roman Reigns and The Usos discussed the situation regarding Punk, Reigns, and Punk's comments about Reigns' father. The Usos questioned why Reigns didn't drop Punk when he said what he did. Reigns shrugged them off and said that he didn't need an apology from Punk. He said The Usos still did and that he would get it.

-AJ Lee made her entrance with the WWE Women's Intercontinental Championship. When Bayley got to the ring, the match began.

-AJ Lee defeated Bayley to retain the WWE Women's Intercontinental Championship. Lee won the match with her Widow submission. Bayley had her moments in the match, but a high risk flying elbow left the door open for Lee to get the submission locked in.

-Backstage, JD McDonagh and Adam Pearce were arguing about the men's IC title. McDonagh said that he couldn't give away Dominik's rematch. Pearce said that Dominik wasn't cleared to compete. Penta walked in the shot and thanked Pearce before heading to the ring.

-Right after the commercial break, the show returned with Becky Lynch destroying AJ Lee on the entrance ramp after Lee's win over Bayley. WWE officials broke up the fight, but then Lynch crushed Lee with the IC title belt. Lynch then held the belt high above her head as the audience booed.

-Penta defeated Dragon Lee to retain the WWE Men's Intercontinental Championship. The match featured wild action including a Dragon Lee dive from inside the ring to the announce table.

-Paul Heyman spoke with Logan Paul and Austin Theory backstage. Theory said that they would take Rollins out. Heyman said that was the worst thing they could do. Heyman said they lost their position and that they need to get titles. He said titles mean respect and that they should focus on The Usos and the tag titles.

-Nattie defeated Maxxine Dupri. Nattie won the match with The Sharpshooter by submission and it wasn't a particularly close bout.

-Randy Orton was supposed to be interviewed by Michael Cole. Cole cued up the interview and Orton was finishing up a phone call. Orton thanked the person on the other line and then turned his attention to Cole.

-Orton refused the interview, but said that he was a killer and that he had been speaking to someone who reminded him of who he was. Orton didn't say who it was, but only that "wrestling has more than one royal family."

-Je'Von Evans consoled a hurting Dragon Lee backstage. Evans was approached by Kofi Kingston. Kingston tried to give Evans advice and said that it was all about who you associate with in WWE. Evans said he was good and that he didn't need Kingston's help. Evans then walked away.

-Danhausen approached Kingston and Grayson Waller. He wanted to be a new member of The New Day. Kingston told him no and then Danhausen cursed Waller.

-Stephanie Vaquer defeated Raquel Rodriguez. Rodriguez nearly had her Tejada Bomb on Vaquer, it was countered into the winning pin attempt. Liv Morgan tried to interfere in the match, but Iyo Sky ran out to even the odds. Sky got launched into the announce table by Rodriguez, but that distraction helped Vaquer get the win.

-Lyra Valkyria tried to pump Bayley up backstage. She said they should go after the tag titles and get to WrestleMania that way. Asuka and Kairi Sane interuppted. Asuka said she would have won the IC title, but that they would be going after the tag titles too.

-Roman Reigns walked out to the ring. He said Raw was his show and it was his ring and then invited Punk into it because "the water was warm." Punk came out soon after, but took his time getting in the ring.

-Punk and Reigns traded verbal jabs again. This time, the jabs were over their upcoming match itself. Punk said he was going to lift Reigns and smash his knee into his face and this year would be the last time Reigns main events WrestleMania. Reigns said that Punk was a good talker, but that he wasn't stronger or faster than he was. Reigns said he Punk was embarassing everyone in the ring because he was so old.

-Punk punched Reigns in the face and stood over him. Before the fight could continue, WWE officials ran out to break things up. Reigns laughed at Punk and then yelled to him that he was in his head. Reigns said Punk was nothing and the show went off the air.
