WWE RAW Results – April 1, 2019

We are in Washington D.C. and your announcers are Renee Young, Michael Cole, and Corey Graves.

Stephanie McMhaon makes her way to the stage and she has a big announcement about the main event of Wrestlemania.

Stephanie cannot believe that we are six days away from Wrestlemania and Stephanie says the main even will be bigger since it will now have a fourth woman . . . her. Stephanie calms everyone down to say that it is an April Fool’s Day joke. The news is that all titles will be on the line. One woman will have all of the gold because three of the WWE’s greatest athletes will put their bodies on the line and put their hearts and souls on the mat. The match is now Winner Takes All.

Brock Lesnar makes his way to the stage and he is joined by Paul Heyman and they make their way to the ring.

Paul introduces himself and his client and he says he will be doing the same introduction next Monday. She finds it is poetic justice that Stephanie used the term ‘winner take all’ because that is how you have to describe the Universal Title Match because the WINNER Brock Lesnar will take all Seth Rollins has to offer. He will take Seth Rollins’ best shot. We know that Seth will be coming with his best shot and we expect nothing less. Brock will take everything that Seth Rollins has in life. That is what Brock Lesnar does to people at Wrestlemania. He seizes the moment and makes history at Wrestlemania. Brock took the streak from the Undertaker at Wrestlemania. Last year, Brock took the hopes and dreams of Roman Reigns when you all thought it would be fait accompli that Roman would win. On Sunday, Brock will take Seth Rollins at Wrestlemania. It may not be Seth’s last match, Seth gave a spoiler because Brock will end Seth Rollins’ career.

For those of you who watch hockey for the fight. For those of you who watch NASCAR for the wrecks. For those of you who watch football for the riots, Brock will violate Seth Rollins and desecrate the name of Wrestlemania. With Brock’s foot on Seth’s chest and the title high above Brock’s head, he will define the saying that life is not what you want it to be, but what you make out of it. Then they will go to dinner and discuss what is next in the career of Brock Lesnar. Paul says that Seth is just an afterthought.

The Afterthought makes his way to the ring as his music plays.

Seth says this is the biggest match of his career and it is the biggest match of Brock’s career. After Wrestlemania, things will change because you won’t be able to act like a bully and get what you want. No one wants you here. Seth says he knows that Brock doesn’t give a damn about anyone else. You made a lot of money and had a great career out of being Brock Lesnar. You are the most decorated in Combat Sports. Beating Brock at Wrestlemanis might be improbable but it is not impossible. Seth says he will beat Brock and take his title and there is not a damn thing you can do about it.

Brock starts to leave the ring and Seth kicks Brock in the groin. Seth with punches but Brock with a German suplex and he goes for an F5 but Seth with another low blow and he hits a super kick. Seth with Black Out and then he grabs the Universal Title belt and holds it above Brock before putting it on top of Brock.

We go to commercial.
