RAW kicked off in an empty arena at the WWE Performance Center and after the commentary team announced that The Undertaker, Stone Cold Steve Austin, and Edge were set to appear for the show, Edge was the first one out. He called out Randy Orton, saying that the Viper was handed every part of his career on a silver platter by his dad, while he was jealous that Edge was able to work for what he had.
Edge said that Randy did not let Beth finish what she was going to say. Edge said he was going to retire until Orton attacked his wife. Now all he wanted was to face Orton in a Last Man Standing Match at WrestleMania.

We got a recap of the Royal Rumble match from earlier this year as the show went on.
After the rerun, Jerry 'The King' Lawler was in the ring for the contract signing between The Undertaker and AJ Styles but there was no contract on the table. 'Taker was out first and flipped the table right away as Lawler fled the ring and we headed for commercials.
Back from the break, AJ appeared on the Titantron with the OC before showing us that he had the contract in his hands and said that WrestleMania was over; he was going to pay The Undertaker's assisted living cost.
AJ sent the OC to deliver the contract to 'Taker at and The OC came out and dropped the contract at ringside before trying to leave. The gong was hit and everything went dark, when we came back, Undertaker was behind them on the ramp.
The Undertaker took them down, signed the contract and stuffed it in Anderson's mouth before leaving. AJ was watching the whole thing from backstage.
Up next, a rivalry was rekindled as Rey Mysterio was set to lock horns with United States Champion, Andrade.
Andrade vs. Rey Mysterio
Asuka was on commentary for no apparent reason while Rey and Andrade were going toe to toe in the ring. Rey hit a seated senton and got a near fall as Asuka yelled at them from ringside.
Andrade went for the Three Amigos but Rey escaped and threw him into the ropes before hitting him with the 619 and then the splash for the win.
Results: Rey Mysterio def. Andrade

Stone Cold Steve Austin was out and after a great entrance, he started talking to the empty seats. He declared the 16th of March a National Holiday. He added that on this day, the speed limit was 'just a suggestion' and happy hour was all day long. Byron ranked him on all of his statements.
3:16 is a day when beer was better than coffee and a certain four-letter word was acceptable, Austin went on. He added more things that were special about the day before Byron Saxton joined him in the ring for a beer but eventually got stunned.
Becky Lynch came out and cracked a couple of beers open and shared them with Austin. Before closing out, Austin poured a beer on Saxton's head and hot one more stunner.
Episode rating: B-
It wasn't the best episode of RAW, but given the crisis we are facing all over the world, it was about the best anyone could hope for. There was just one match and a nearly hour-long rerun of the Rumble match but the appearances from the three legends.
