WWE RAW REPORT: A MATCH TO SEE WHO HOSTS AN INTERVIEW AT MANIA, MORE MATCHES ANNOUNCED, AND MORE

Your announcers are Jimmy Smith, Corey Graves, and Byron Saxton.

We begin with a graphic in Memory of Scott Hall.  

We take a look back at Kevin Owens making the challenge to Steve Austin to appear on the KO Show at Wrestlemania.  We see Austin's response.

Kevin Owens makes his way to the ring.  

Owens looks at the Wrestlemania sign and he throws out a "Hey Yo".  What you are looking at is the happiest Canadian camper in the world.  It is official.  Kevin Owens is going to Wrestlemania.  He says he is not just going to Wrestlemania but he will be the main event of Saturday night because his guest is the greatest of all time, Steve Austin.  It looked like all hope was lost to be at Wrestlemania, but he used his superior Canadian intellect and he started thinking about what he could do.  He says he knew what he could do.  Since none of the yellow teeth mouth breathing Texans cannot say no to a challenge, why not make one ot the biggest of them all. 

Kevin says he is proud of himself because you will see the most stupendous Wrestlemania as I smear Austin all over Texas.  Kevin says he heard Steve loud and clear that you were coming to open one more can of whoop ass on me?  Eh Eh.  That ain't happening.  The only can that will be opened will be a can of Canadian beer.  I don't drink beer, but I will make an exception.  No one will be saying OH HELL YEAH when I am done with you.  They will say OH HELL NO when I get done beating the hell out of you.

Owens kicks the camera man and hits a stunner on him.  

Before our opening match, we have a McACap of what happened between Austin Theory and Pat McAfee.
