WWE Raw on March 30, 2026, aired live from Madison Square Garden in New York City. The show featured three championship matches, big personal rivalries, and several surprise appearances as WWE built toward WrestleMania 42.
Big title matches
The Women’s Tag Team Championship was on the line when champions Nia Jax and Lash Legend defended against Bayley and Lyra Valkyria. Bayley and Valkyria earned the challenge after beating The Kabuki Warriors (Asuka and Kairi Sane) earlier in the week.
The Intercontinental Championship match had Penta defending his title against Kofi Kingston. Penta has promised to be a fighting champion and recently defended successfully against El Grande Americano, Dragon Lee, and Dominik Mysterio. Kingston returned to action after losing to Je’Von Evans on the February 23 episode of Raw.
The World Tag Team Championship was also defended on television. Jey Uso and Jimmy Uso put the titles up against Logan Paul and Austin Theory of The Vision.
