WWE returned to Brooklyn, New York to kick off WrestleMania 32 week. The March 28, 2016 episode of WWE RAW was the last RAW before WrestleMania on Sunday and features Shane McMahon, The Undertaker, Brock Lesnar and others.
– The Undertaker makes his way to the ring to open up the show as Michael Cole tells us there’s over 16,000 in attendance tonight at the Barclays Center. ‘Taker cuts a promo about how this WrestleMania will not be his last, and gets interrupted by Shane McMahon. Shane assures that he will win and gain control of Monday Night RAW, and Undertaker tells him to watch his mouth. Shane tells Undertaker that Brock Lesnar already ended his legacy, Undertaker tells Shane he’s always been his dad’s bitch, and they start brawling all over the ring. ‘Taker gets the upper hand and beats down Shane at ringside. Shane escapes an attempted Last Ride through the announce table. He lays out Undertaker on that same table with a TV to the head, then puts ‘Taker through it with an elbow drop off the top rope to the outside. The Undertaker sits straight up before the commercial break as Shane looks on from the ramp.
