What happened to the final WWE RAW episode before WrestleMania XL?
Unsurprisingly, the go-home episode of Monday Night RAW before WrestleMania XL proved to be an exciting affair.
After The Bloodline opened the show with The Rock insulting Cody Rhodes and his fans and Seth Rollins challenging Solo Sikoa in the main event, it was followed by chaos and destruction at the end of the episode.
Just as The Visionary was about to defeat The Enforcer, Jimmy Uso interfered and helped his brother, before Jey Uso came out to even the odds. The Final Boss later came out and attacked Jey before setting his sights on Rollins. However, Cody Rhodes emerged to help Seth, but so did Roman Reigns for his cousin. In the end, it was The Bloodline who stood tall.
Which mainstream celebrity will be at WrestleMania XL?
Due to the popularity WWE has garnered in recent years, it's unsurprising to see major celebrities feature on The Grandest Stage of Them All. Last night on RAW, it was announced that Lil Wayne would attend this year's WrestleMania.
It will be interesting to see what else WWE has planned for this year's Show of Shows.
