WWE Raw: Potential Spoilers, Rumors, News and Preview for March 2

Major questions permeate the March 2 edition of WWE Raw.

What's the company's relationship with the world champ right now? Will the Divas division continue to get neglected and disrespected? What does WWE have in mind for Daniel Bryan at WrestleMania?

Fans packing into the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey, and those watching from home will wait and see how those questions get answered.

In the process, Monday's Raw promises to be a fun night. Randy Orton could snap at any moment.  The WrestleMania card will continue to take shape. Not to mention, a certain Comedy Central celebrity is on his way to the show.

Backstage reports and James Wortman's five-point preview on WWE.com help provide a clear picture of what Raw will look like. 

Jon Stewart Heads to Raw

An offhand remark has snowballed into something far bigger. Rollins mocked comedian Jon Stewart, saying that he could make The Daily Show "watchable." Stewart had fun with his retort, cutting a promo where he took several shots at Mr. Money in the Bank. 

Rollins took the fight to The Daily Show, challenging the TV host to meet him at Raw. 

WWE confirmed to The Washington Post that Stewart accepted the invite. It's not clear what WWE has planned for him, but it promises to be fun. Stewart is no stranger to making folks laugh, and fans of his show know that he watches and enjoys the product.

News, Potential Spoilers

The road to WrestleMania is suddenly uncertain, potentially veering off in a new direction after a reported confrontation between Vince McMahon and Brock Lesnar last week. The Beast Incarnate was booked for the last Raw of February but didn't appear. That's apparently due to a backstage spat.

According to F4WOnline (h/t Wrestling Inc), Lesnar and McMahon were arguing backstage last Monday, although it is not clear what the loud dispute was about. In spite of the situation, WWE officials are reportedly confident that Lesnar will work WrestleMania.

In-house confidence aside, fans still have to wonder where this story is heading. Would Lesnar really walk out?

The WWE champ attended UFC 184, as noted by Fox Sports, which only served to stir up the rumor pot. 

As Pro Wrestling Torch's James Caldwell notes, the advertised talent for Monday's Raw includes Reigns, Rollins, John Cena, Dean Ambrose, Kane, Bad News Barrett and Bray Wyatt. Lesnar is not on that list.

With the Hall of Fame ceremony fast approaching, WWE is likely to start rounding out out this year's list of inductees. 

The 2015 class could grow by one after Monday, adding a somewhat surprising name. PWInsider.com's Mike Johnson reports, "Scheduled to be announced for the WWE 2015 Hall of Fame Class tomorrow on Raw will be Madusa, who held the WWF, WCW and AWA Women's championship."

It's unclear whether Monday's Raw will be showcasing its current female stars.

After last week's 31-second Divas match, the Internet was afire with backlash. Fans demanded that WWE give its women more ring time.

McMahon acknowledged the outcry, tweeting:

Whether there will be any significant change remains to be seen. Note that there is no Diva storyline mentioned in the five-point preview. 

WrestleMania Coming Together

Fans now know that Barrett will defend the Intercontinental Championship in a Ladder match at the biggest event of the year. The question now becomes, as the official WrestleMania Twitter account points out, who will challenge him in that bout:

The multiple opponents he will face will likely include the growing list of men who have defeated him in non-title action.

In recent weeks, R-Truth, Dolph Ziggler and Ambrose have beaten the champ. Add Bryan to that group after the former WWE champ forced Barrett to tap out on last week's SmackDown.

Bryan's uncertain WrestleMania status will become a lot clearer if he continues to be involved in the IC title picture. 

Rollins and Orton don't have their names on the WrestleMania card either. That could change in an instant. Rollins may be busy with the host of The Daily Show right now, but the expectation is for him to take on The Viper.

For now, though, Orton has been holding back his rage (to a degree) and working alongside The Authority. The narrative of whether he can keep this up is set to continue. 

Wortman asks, "Will we see WWE’s Apex Predator lash out against The Authority again this week, or will Triple H and Stephanie McMahon somehow force Orton to be a team player?"

The longer WWE waits to have Orton explode, the better. There are still four weeks until WrestleMania, so the company can afford to be patient here if it chooses to be.

Expect Cena vs. Rusev to be added to the WrestleMania lineup eventually, too. The Bulgarian Brute has refused to have a rematch with Cena, but no other opponent makes sense for him.

This denial from the United States champ is all part of the plan. Wortman writes, "Will Cena try to goad his unstoppable foe into a clash at The Show of Shows?" The answer is a surefire "yes." The only question is when he'll be able to pull this off.

As for the marquee pay-per-view's main event, WWE is going forward with the belief that Lesnar isn't going anywhere.

The story for Reigns is that he has to prove himself en route to his big title match. Wortman writes, "The No. 1 contender still must face his fair share of challenges—both physical and otherwise—before he battles The Beast in Santa Clara."

After Reigns knocked off Bryan at Fastlane, it's hard to imagine him finding a tougher test leading up to his showdown with Lesnar. He has taken out Big Show several times as well. Who will Reigns topple now? 

Another set of questions looms.

With all those plot points to cover, will WWE find anything but scraps of time for its women division? Will the Divas get the chance fans demanded last week?
