Brock Lesnar agrees to fight Omos at WrestleMania, and new Women's Tag Team champions crowned on Raw
The Red Brand returned on Monday night, with former Raw women’s champion Becky Lynch teaming up with WWE legend Lita to face Bayley and the rest of Damage CTRL.
Lynch and Lita battled IYO SKY and Dakota Kai for the women's tag team titles on Raw, and there was a surprise return of WWE Hall of Famer Trish Stratus who stepped in to help even out the numbers against the Damage CTRL trio.
Elsewhere, fresh off his defeat at Elimination Chamber, Brock Lesnar accepted MVP’s challenge to fight the Nigerian giant Omos at Wrestlemania.
Earlier this month, Lesnar lost to his longtime rival Bobby Lashley at Elimination Chamber via disqualification, and has now accepted a fresh challenge in a fight which fans would love to see at the grandest pay-per-view.
