The road to WrestleMania 41 has been full speed ahead for the past few weeks, which has caused more twists and turns for both main roster brands in WWE.
Looking at WWE Raw, there are a lot of changes that can still happen along the next four weeks before the company gets to Las Vegas.
From new champions being crowned to significant shifts in storylines, these changes will drastically adjust the direction of everything before the roster gets to Mania.
Here are eight potential changes coming to WWE Raw.
8. Penta Captures The Intercontinental Championship
On the March 17 edition of WWE Raw on Netflix, Bron Breakker defeated Finn Balor to retain the Intercontinental Championship.
Post-match, it was Penta who made the save for Breakker after an attack from The Judgment Day before staring down with the IC Champion.
It was then announced that Breakker will defend the Intercontinental Title against the former AEW star on the March 24 episode from Glasgow, Scotland.
This showdown might prove to be a major change for the IC Title picture with Penta capturing his first singles gold in WWE and completely altering the path to WrestleMania 41.

7. The New Day Go After The War Raiders’ World Tag Team Championship
Ever since turning on Big E in December, The New Day’s Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods have become one of the most hated acts in the entire WWE.
Despite setting out on a goal to turn around their fortunes and get back to the top of the WWE Raw tag team division, Kingston and Woods have yet to even challenge for the World Tag Team Title since embracing their attitude change.
After picking up a win over LWO in a tornado tag team match on the March 17 Raw, The New Day should have nothing standing in their way of challenging for The War Raiders.
The New Day have history against Erik and Ivar and could play upon that when they challenge the champions in what should be a title bout for WrestleMania 41 in Las Vegas.

6. Roxanne Perez Gets Officially Called Up
At WWE Royal Rumble 2025, Roxanne Perez set the record for the longest duration in the women’s Royal Rumble match with over an hour and seven minutes in the bout.
After this standout performance, Perez went on to compete in the women’s Elimination Chamber match, but has also continued to perform on the NXT brand.
The two-time NXT Women’s Champion has more than proven that she is absolutely ready for the limelight of the main roster without a shadow of a doubt.
Considering her rivalry with Bayley that started on NXT, it feels appropriate for Roxanne to get officially called up to the Monday Night Raw brand to continue this feud.

5. Logan Paul & Karrion Kross Join Forces
Over the past few weeks, fans have seen various interactions between AJ Styles and Karrion Kross with manipulation at play.
Kross has tried to get out some aggression from Styles in his ongoing rivalry with Logan Paul that has played out on WWE Raw TV over the past month.
While it may lead to Kross aligning with Styles, it seems more likely that Paul could find some much needed backup in the form of the two-time NXT Champion.
After The Final Testament were put to rest following the departures of Paul Ellering and Authors of Pain, Kross should look to Paul for a new alliance that may pay dividends for both men’s careers.

4. The Judgment Day Splits Up
As previously mentioned, Finn Balor came up short against Bron Breakker with the Intercontinental Championship on the line on the March 17 episode of WWE Raw on Netflix.
In the closing stretch of the bout, Dominik Mysterio tried to help his Judgment Day stablemate pick up a victory, but he wound up being the main reason why Balor suffered a loss.
The ongoing dissension between Balor and “Dirty Dom” has seemed like a contributing factor for why The Judgment Day might not last much longer as it currently stands.
With Mysterio closer to Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez, fans could see The Judgment Day being split down the middle with Balor, Carlito and JD McDonagh on the other side of this separation.

3. Rusev & Lana Return
In February, All Elite Wrestling agreed to the release of Miro after nearly five years with the promotion.
Following a lengthy year-long absence from AEW TV, many believe that Miro could make his return to WWE, where he previously performed as Rusev.
It was also recently revealed that Miro had reconciled with his wife CJ Perry and renewed their vows to confirm their reunion.
This could lead to Miro returning to WWE as Rusev alongside CJ Perry as Lana over on Monday Night Raw. This act could once again find themselves in a prominent position on WWE television.

2. “The Man” Becky Lynch Is Back
Another comeback that has been speculated and discussed as of late is Becky Lynch.
After being absent from WWE TV since May 2024, the road to WrestleMania 41 feels like the perfect time for “The Man” to make her way back to the company.
Lynch returning will add a great deal of star power and experience to the Raw women’s division in a major way.
Whether it be against Lyra Valkyria for the WWE Women’s Intercontinental Championship or getting involved in the mix with IYO SKY, Rhea Ripley and Bianca Belair for the WWE Women’s World Championship, Becky could bring a huge boost to Raw with a return.

1. Cody Rhodes Officially Moves To WWE Raw To Feud With John Cena
On the March 17 episode of WWE Raw on Netflix, Cody Rhodes and John Cena went face-to-face for the first time since Cena’s heel turn at Elimination Chamber.
Ahead of WrestleMania 41, fans should expect Rhodes and Cena to interact even more on the road to Las Vegas.
However, WWE could make things official by placing both men on the same brand where the developments in this feud will occur on Raw on Netflix.
The current Undisputed WWE Champion potentially moving to the red brand would go a long way in further establishing Raw as the flagship show once again.
