WWE RAW REPORT: ULTIMATE DELETION, DID BROCK APPEAR?, DID BRAUN ANNOUNCE HIS TAG TEAM PARTNER?, AND MORE

By Richard Trionfo on 2018-03-19 23:10:00

We are back and Kurt Angle is on the phone.  Alexa Bliss enters the office and she says that Nia is out of control and she should be suspended or arrested.

Kurt says he saw what Nia did and he also heard what Alexa said.  Millions of young girls saw what Alexa said.  The women's champion should be a role model.  Kurt says that he will give Nia a match against Alexa for the Raw Women's Championship at Wrestlemania.

Braun Strowman makes his way to the ring.

Braun says last week he won the Tag Team Battle Royal by himself.  Braun says he is going to Wrestlemania.  Earlier tonight, he was informed by management that he needs to have a partner.  Braun says he does not think he needs a partner.  He knows he can win those tag titles by himself.

Sheamus and Cesaro interrupt and Sheamus tells Braun to hold on a second.  He says Braun is out of his mind if he thinks he can beat them by himself.  You won last week by yourself, but throwing people over the top rope is different than beating the greatest team in the WWE.

Cesaro you don't become a tag team overnight.  It takes time to build chemistry with your partner.  You have to train together, eat together, drive together, sleep together.

Sheamus clarifies what Cesaro meant by 'sleep together'. 

Sheamus says it does not matter who your partner is, you don't stand a chance because they are going to walk in and walk out as the tag team champions.

Braun tells them to shut up.  

Sheamus asks Braun if he thinks he is tough.  They have beaten every team on Raw and Braun and his partner will have the same fate.  What Brock did to Roman is nothing compared to what they will do to them.

Braun says he has a partner and he gets to have a match against one of them right now.

Sheamus and Cesaro both get on the apron and Cesaro is the one to face Braun.

We are back and Sasha Banks has something to say before her match.  She says she was taught that when you have a problem, you don't walk away from it or talk about it behind someone's back.  You confront them.  Sasha says they are best friends and she wants to fix their issues.  At Elimination Chamber, it was every woman for themselves.  She wasn't trying to betray her friendship, she was trying to win the title.  She will try to win the battle royal at Wrestlemania.  Bayley was not trying to win anything two weeks ago when she refused the tag and then did not help last week.

The look in your eyes hurt her to her core.  She saw Sasha smile when she kicked Bayley from the pod.  Bayley says she cannot get that picture out of her head.  Why was knocking her down so easy if they are best friends?
