Tonight on the With Spandex WWE Raw open discussion thread:
On the final Raw before their Mixed Tag Team Match at WrestleMania, Kurt Angle & Ronda Rousey will stand face-to-face with Triple H & Stephanie McMahon. Will these two teams brawl before The Show of Shows? Also on Raw, Seth Rollins battles Finn Bálor one-on-one, six nights before both challenge The Miz for the Intercontinental Championship in a Triple Threat Match on The Grandest Stage of Them All.

Our five-point preview:
1. This Sunday is the big event: a big Kid Rock concert in New Orleans with some wrestling matches happening around it. We’ll be talking about this party “all summer long,” am I right guys?
2. To quote my friend Mike, “I hope tonight on Raw when John Cena tries to summon the Undertaker, lightning hits the ring, and up from the smoking crater it creates rises… the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal trophy with a large post-it note stuck to it that reads GO AWAY.”
3. Who is Braun Strowman’s partner, and why is the answer Mark Henry’s hand baby?
4. It’s the last Raw before WrestleMania, so this is probably the episode where Ronda Rousey takes her first authority beatdown. Alternately, it’s another episode where Ronda mean-mugs through some basic shit so we don’t notice her having no idea how to do it.
5. Seth vs. Finn in a battle of the body pillows. Who ya got?
