WWE Raw Results 3/2 - Intercontinental Championship On The Line, Roman Reigns & CM Punk Appear

Welcome to Wrestling Inc.'s results for "WWE Raw" on March 2, 2026, coming to you live from the Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis, Indiana!

Judgment Day's Dominik Mysterio will be putting the Intercontinental Championship on the line for the first time ever since dethroning John Cena at WWE Survivor Series: WarGames on November 29, 2025 as he defends against Penta. Penta emerged victorious against Los Americanos' El Grande Americano on the February 16 episode of "Raw" to secure his spot in tonight's match.

After retaining the World Heavyweight Championship against Finn Balor at WWE Elimination Chamber this past Saturday, CM Punk will be putting his title on the line once again at WWE WrestleMania 42 against Roman Reigns. Before Punk and Reigns meet at the April 18 and April 19 Premium Live Event, they will both be making an appearance on tonight's show with things on their minds to share.

Speaking of WrestleMania 42, 2026 Women's Royal Rumble winner and Judgment Day member Liv Morgan chose to challenge Stephanie Vaquer for the Women's World Championship during last Monday's edition of "Raw" during a meeting between the two women and WWE Women's Champion Jade Cargill that ended with Morgan blindsiding Vaquer with an attack. Following such, Morgan will be making an appearance on tonight's show with something on her mind to share.

Additionally, GUNTHER will be facing Dragon Lee as the latter continues to seek his retribution against the former and blindsided him with a handful of attacks over the past few weeks for retiring his former tag team partner AJ Styles at WWE Royal Rumble on January 31.

We are live! The show kicks off with a video recapping the events of WWE Elimination Chamber before Michael Cole and Corey Graves greet audiences at home.

We Hear From The Vision

Logan Paul, Austin Theory, and Paul Heyman appear at ringside, and Heyman introduces himself and his two other stablemates. He says someone usually greets the live crowd and fans at home, but says The Vision is here to talk about Seth Rollins. He says Rollins doesn't give credit where credit is due to him for co-founding The Vision, then promises that The Vision will stomp off Rollins' head the next time that he is in the ring. He says it's not a prediction or a spoiler, but a personal guarantee from The Vision.

Theory says he goes way back with Rollins, but he's not moving forward before Paul calls Rollins a scumbag and says he eliminated three people in the 2026 Men's Elimination Chamber until Rollins cost him the entire match. Adam Pearce appears at ringside with several security guards and demands that The Vision exits the ring. He says Rollins should be left to him because he's not medically cleared to compete, but a masked man hops the barricade looking to attack Theory and Paul.

Security chases the masked man away, but a second masked man appears. Paul chases him away from ringside, but a third masked man appears. Theory chases the third masked man away from ringside, leaving Heyman alone in the ring. Heyman reluctantly exits the ring, but stops when he sees a fourth masked man at ringside. A fifth masked man appears behind Heyma with a chair in hand, and takes off his mask to reveal himself as Rollins. Rollins cracks the chair across Heyman's spine, then delivers a Curb Stomp to Heyman.

Back from the break, we see Heyman loaded into an ambulance as a car pulls up. Thinking that it's there to pick him up, Austin Theory approaches the car. Jimmy Uso hops out and attacks Theory, then spots LA Knight in the driver's spot of the ambulance. Knight then drives it away.

We then head backstage, where Asuka chews out Kairi Sane for being unable to qualify for the 2026 Women's Elimination Chamber Match. She shoves her and gets in her face, then storms off. AJ Lee checks on Sane and asks if she's good, then tells her to blink twice if she needs help. Sane stares into the void, but comes back to the present when Asuka yells her name.

Back at ringside, AJ Lee makes her way out. 

AJ Lee Celebrates Becoming The New Women's Intercontinental Champion

Lee says she's not entirely sure how she got here, then says she came back to WWE just to take out Becky Lynch but ended up snatching the Women's Intercontinental Championship from her. She says she wasn't sure that she could still go in the ring, but the fans believed in her and believed she could fight the very best. She says Lynch is the best of the best, but she still beat Lynch and says she proved to herself that she can still be championship material.

Roman Reigns and CM Punk Meet Face-To-Face

Reigns tells Indianapolis to acknowledge him, but before he can continue, Punk's music cuts him off and he makes his way out.

Punk asks why Reigns is angry, then says him coming out is less of an interruption and more of an acknowledgement for Reigns.

Reigns asks Punk if his tweet about Elimination Chamber hurt his feelings, but Punk says it doesn't. He says it's a good thing that he has bags under his eyes since he has to carry Reigns to WrestleMania 42, then reminds Reigns that he chose to challenge him for the World Heavyweight Championship at WrestleMania 42 and says he already won. He says Reigns told him that he hated him the last time that they were in the ring together, then says he has Reigns where he wants him and says he's in Reigns' head and under his skin. He says he can see right through Reigns.

Reigns admits that he does hate Punk, but says if Punk didn't have the World Heavyweight Championship, he wouldn't even be on his radar. He says Punk can claim to be a locker room leader and show himself hanging out with The Usos, but says Punk is just a punk a** b**** to him. He says Punk can teach the next generation how to wrestle, then says he can send them to him on the main roster for him to beat.

Reigns looks to leave, but Punk stops him and reminds Reigns that he took Paul Heyman from him. He says Reigns has always chased him, then says Reigns is main eventing WrestleMania 42 because of him and says Reigns is all alone. He says Reigns can't get things done alone, then says Reigns went from getting beat at WrestleMania 42 to buried. He says he'll bury Reigns next to his father and hops out of the ring.
