Summary

WWE has added three more matches to the April 6 episode of Raw, giving Monday's show a fuller in-ring lineup before the broadcast begins.

Adam Pearce announced that Rhea Ripley and IYO SKY will team up again to face B-Fab and Michin. WWE also added Finn Balor vs. JD McDonagh and LA Knight vs. Austin Theory to the card.

Those additions round out a show that already included advertised appearances by CM Punk, Oba Femi and Brock Lesnar, along with Seth Rollins opening the program. The new matches give several featured names defined roles on the episode instead of leaving them limited to promos or backstage segments.

Updated WWE Raw lineup

The current lineup for the April 6 episode of Raw is:

  • CM Punk to speak
  • Oba Femi and Brock Lesnar to appear
  • Seth Rollins to open the show
  • Finn Balor vs. JD McDonagh
  • Rhea Ripley and IYO SKY vs. B-Fab and Michin
  • LA Knight vs. Austin Theory

What the added matches mean for Rhea Ripley and LA Knight on Raw

Putting Rhea Ripley and IYO SKY in another tag match gives Raw two major women's division names in a featured bout rather than separating them into unrelated segments. That keeps both wrestlers visible in a meaningful match setting while also giving B-Fab and Michin a spotlight spot on the same show.

LA Knight vs. Austin Theory and Finn Balor vs. JD McDonagh also suggest Raw is being built with a stronger wrestling-heavy structure for the night. With CM Punk, Brock Lesnar, Oba Femi and Seth Rollins already announced for appearances, the added matches help balance the episode between star power and actual bell-to-bell action.
