WWE Raw Results 3/16 – Roman Reigns Appears, Women’s Intercontinental Championship On The Line

Welcome to Wrestling Inc.’s results for “WWE Raw” on March 16, 2026, coming to you live from the Frost Bank Center in San Antonio, Texas!

2026 Men’s Royal Rumble winner Roman Reigns will be making an appearance on tonight’s show as he continues to prepare to challenge CM Punk for the World Heavyweight Championship. After Punk sent a message to Reigns last Monday, Jey Uso and Jimmy Uso confronted him to stand up for their cousin. Tensions between Punk and The Usos only grew from their, with the latter duo not taking too kindly to the former’s thoughts about what members of the Anoa’ family would think about Reigns.

AJ Lee will be putting the Women’s Intercontinental Championship on the line for the first time since dethroning Becky Lynch at WWE Elimination Chamber at WWE Elimination Chamber on February 28 as she defends against Bayley. Bayley emerged victorious against her close friend Lyra Valkyria, IYO SKY, Ivy Nile, Asuka of the Kabuki Warriors, and Judgment Day’s Raquel Rodriguez in a Number One Contenders Gauntlet Match by last eliminating Asuka to secure her spot in tonight’s bout.

Speaking of Rodriguez, she will be competing in a match of her own as she goes head-to-head with reigning Women’s World Champion Stephanie Vaquer in a non-title match. Rodriguez’s stablemate and 2026 Women’s Royal Rumble winner Liv Morgan will be challenging Vaquer for her title at WWE WrestleMania 42 as tensions between the pair continue to meteorically be on the rise.

Former friends turned bitter rivals Nattie and Maxxine Dupri will be colliding with one another in the ring once again tonight. The two women have squared off against one another on two previous occasions, with their match on the February 9 episode of “Raw” ending in a double countout and their match on the February 23 edition of “Raw” ending with the referee awarding Nattie the victory after it was determined Dupri could no longer continue.

OG El Grande Americano (who resembles Chad Gable) has been on a quest to put an end to El Grande Americano (who resembles Ludwig Kaiser) since making his return to WWE, scoring wins against Grande’s Los Americano stablemates Rayo Americano and Bravo Americano in a tag team match that also involved Je’Von Evans on February 9 and Rayo in a singles match on the March 2 episode of “Raw”. Tonight, OG Grande finally has the chance to get his hands on Grande as the two men meet one another in the ring.

Additionally, Brock Lesnar will be appearing on tonight’s show after issuing an Open Challenge to WrestleMania 42 to whoever wishes to answer the call.

We are live! Michael Cole and Corey Graves greet audiences at home as Seth Rollins’ masked men surround the ring. One slides himself inside the ring to reveal himself as Seth Rollins. Rollins says he’s on a mission to destroy The Vision, whether it’s Austin Theory, Logan Paul, Paul Heyman, or the injured Bronson Reed and Bron Breakker.

Heyman appears on the entrance ramp, and Rollins eggs Heyman on as he points out how slow Heyman is moving. He tells Heyman that he hopes it was worth it and says he made a lot of mistakes in his life. He says the worst one was letting Heyman in his inner circle and vows to pay back Heyman for his betrayal until he’s gone from the professional wrestling business.

Punk’s music hits and he makes his way out. Reigns welcomes Punk to his ring and his WrestleMania 42 main event, but Punk warns Reigns about using his government name of Phil. He says that Reigns’ family will high five him tells San Antonio that it’s great to be alive on a Monday night, then says he’s surprised that Reigns hasn’t clocked him yet and says that he’s already won the WrestleMania 42 main event with the mind games that he’s been playing with him.

Reigns says Punk will say anything like claiming to be the reason he’s in the WrestleMania 42 main event, then says Punk hasn’t main evented anything this year and couldn’t even main event a Live Event tour in Europe. He says the fans are calling for Punk, and Punk reminds Reigns had to send The Usos to meet him because he was too scared to meet him in the ring last Monday. He says he didn’t want Jimmy Uso and Jey Uso to get caught in the crosshairs, then says he got what he deserved last week and asks Reigns who the real “Tribal Chief” is. Reigns responds by telling Punk to ask his wife AJ Lee who the top players are and looks to leave the ring.

Punk blocks Reigns’ path and meets him on the outside, then says he tells Reigns when to come and go. He says he’ll hoist Reigns above his head at WrestleMania 42 as the fans cheer for him and send him crashing back to Earth, and Reigns says while Punk is great on the microphone and playing mental games, he can’t stop him. He says when the talking is done, Punk can’t do the walking and says the truth is that Punk isn’t faster or stronger than he is. He says Punk is a try-hard who makes everyone else look terrible because he’s old.

Punk hits Reigns across his head with a microphone, but Adam Pearce and a couple others run out to the ring. They hold Punk back as Reigns stares him down before officials escort Punk to the back and the show goes off the air.
