WWE Raw: Potential Spoilers, Rumors, News and Preview for March 14

When WWE Raw marches into Pittsburgh on March 14, there will be no doubt WrestleMania season is truly beginning.

With Roadblock out of the way, WWE can tighten its focus on the biggest show of the year. And it will do so armed with an abundance of star power. Brock Lesnar and Shane McMahon are on deck for Monday's Raw. There is also the potential for a pair of surprise guests.

Triple H's victory over Dean Ambrose at Roadblock means the WrestleMania card has not been thrown out into chaos. Instead, Ambrose vs. Lesnar and Roman Reigns vs. Triple H are firmly set. It's time to escalate the hype around those two bouts.

Much of the rest of WrestleMania has yet to take shape.

The New Day and League of Nations are colliding, but will that lead to the teams meeting at The Show of Shows? Does Sami Zayn's arrival to Raw last week mean Kevin Owens has a viable challenger for his Intercontinental Championship? Is WWE really going to use WrestleMania as Lana's welcoming party?

The Raw preview on WWE.com, backstage reports and a look at unfolding storylines helps answer those questions and provide an early glimpse at Monday's Raw.

Title Match on Tap

The New Day will be tested once more.

The tag team champs fended off King Barrett and Sheamus at Roadblock on Saturday. The other members of The League of Nations, though, want their crack at the titles. 

As seen in a backstage interview, Rusev and Alberto Del Rio claimed on Twitter they would have fared better than their fellow faction members. And with that, a title match has been set:

WWE looks to be positioning The New Day as babyfaces but hasn't had them change them anything about themselves. Whether the trio adjusts its shtick to fit a fan-favorite role will be worth watching as this rivalry continues.

And with The League of Nations getting two title shots in a matter of days, one has to wonder what awaits them and New Day at WrestleMania.

News, Potential Spoilers

Monday's Raw will be packed with big names.

As Jason Powell noted on ProWrestling.net, "Undertaker, Brock Lesnar, Paul Heyman, Triple H and Shane McMahon are all advertised." That will allow WWE to advance the story of Undertaker and McMahon's Hell in a Cell match in addition to furthering the tension between Lesnar and Ambrose. 

Pittsburgh may be welcoming more star power than that, though. PWInsider's Mike Johnson wrote Sunday that "WWE Hall of Famer Mick Foley is also scheduled...to be at the taping."

Johnson later reported Roman Reigns is also in Pittsburgh and scheduled to appear.

And the Brie vs. Lana rivalry could be getting a boost in the form of former world champion Daniel Bryan. Dave Meltzer of F4WOnline reported on Sunday, "Bryan Danielson is in Pittsburgh tonight where Raw will be tomorrow and what that means isn't clear."

Bryan hasn't appeared on Raw since announcing his in-ring retirement earlier this year. 

Like Bryan, Bray Wyatt may be limited to a speaking role on Monday's show. Meltzer noted on the daily update for Sunday, "The reason the booking was changed for the Brock Lesnar vs. Bray Wyatt match last night is because Wyatt's back is in real bad shape and he couldn't wrestle."

With Wyatt not in a WrestleMania program, there is little pressure to put him in the ring. Either his followers can fight for him or The Wyatt Family will be pushed to the sidelines in favor of Shane-O-Mac and company.

As of now, the Shane McMahon vs. Undertaker narrative has kept the two combatants separate. McMahon has bickered with his father, Vince, and sister, Stephanie. The Deadman has only confronted the elder McMahon.

WWE may choose to maintain this distance before WrestleMania, but with both of them advertised for the same show, a face-to-face meeting is a distinct possibility.

The Undertaker's motivations for taking this match are still unknown. That's the element of this story that most needs addressing. Is he a willing pawn, a bloodthirsty gladiator or something else entirely? 

Monday's Raw is a prime chance to clear that up.

Zayn's emergence on Raw last week had his rivalry with Owens continue on a bigger stage. Building on their bad blood from NXT and beforehand is a no-brainer. Whether that translates to a singles match for the Intercontinental Championship is a mystery.

How much spotlight WWE shines on these two will be an indicator of the company's plans. If Neville, The Miz and other midcarders are thrown onto the same stage as them, a multi-wrestler IC title match is likely on its way.

In addition to Monday's Raw possibly clarifying WWE's plans for the IC belt at WrestleMania, the show could well point to whether Lana vs. Brie is just a momentary diversion or the promise of a showdown inside AT&T Stadium on April 3.

Either way, those two are assured airtime in Pittsburgh. The Raw preview reads, "How will Brie retaliate against her blonde aggressor, and how might this rivalry affect The Show of Shows? Expect more from these two Divas Monday night."

Fans should expect plenty of The Lunatic Fringe too.

With Lesnar appearing on Raw, there are sure to be some fireworks between the enemies set for a No Holds Barred Street Fight at WrestleMania. In addition to his issues with The Beast Incarnate, Ambrose will also be fueled by disappointment after his loss at Roadblock.

The Raw preview reads, "What chaos will he cause after coming up short in another big match?"

It sounds as if Ambrose will get a chance to steal the show, delivering another moment of compelling insanity. Being the talk of a Raw that could feature Bryan, Foley and Undertaker, though, will be a hell of a challenge.
