The Road to WrestleMania continues as WWE makes a stop at the Frost Bank Center in San Antonio, Texas for tonight’s episode of WWE Raw.
Here are the 2 matches announced for Raw, followed by our detailed preview into each one:

Raw Preview (3/4/24)
Here’s what you need to know heading into this week’s WWE Raw:
Becky Lynch vs. Nia Jax
Following her win in the grueling Women’s Elimination Chamber match, Becky Lynch confronted the woman she will now be challenging at WrestleMania 40 — WWE Women’s World Champion Rhea Ripley. Unfortunately for Lynch, their February 26th meeting was interrupted by “The Irresistible Force” Nia Jax, who blindsided Lynch with a pair of leg drops and an Annihilator.
Fueled by her “Irish rage,” Lynch later retaliated, unleashing a counterattack on Jax during her singles bout against Liv Morgan. While Jax was eventually able to flee from her flurry of strikes last week, Lynch convinced Raw General Manager Adam Pearce to let them settle their differences in a one-on-one match tonight. This contest, of course, will serve as a rematch of their encounter at the Day 1 episode of Raw, where Jax emerged victorious.
Despite losing in their previous entanglement, Lynch is confident that she can permanently take Jax out of her path, so she can then properly focus on her WrestleMania title match against Rhea Ripley.
Jey Uso vs. Drew McIntyre
Old foes will meet once again following a backstage brawl on last week’s episode of WWE Raw.
A week after his brother, Jimmy Uso, cost him the Intercontinental Championship, Jey Uso reflected on the pattern of his recent losses in a backstage interview with Jackie Redmond, pointing out that they seem to occur when the stakes are raised. Despite these losses, though, Jey Uso has vowed to keep showing up to Raw as the “Main Event” superstar he knows he is.
Before Uso could complete his thoughts, he was approached by “The Scottish Warrior” Drew McIntyre. Initially appearing to be extending Uso some empathy, McIntyre’s expression then turned cold as he proclaimed that Uso “deserve[s]” the misfortune that has come his way. Naturally, this led the two men to a backstage brawl.

Interestingly, former Intercontinental Champion Ricochet is also advertised — via WWE.com and the Frost Bank Center website — to appear on Raw. Should he compete, it will mark his first televised match since the 2024 Men’s Royal Rumble.
