WWE RAW aired on March 9, 2026 from the Climate Pledge Arena in Seattle, Washington, featuring WWE Intercontinental Champion Penta defending his title against The "Original" El Grande Americano. The show also included a singles match between "The Ruler" Oba Femi and "The Bulgarian Brute" Rusev, plus a WWE Women's Intercontinental Championship #1 Contender's Gauntlet Match featuring Bayley, Lyra Valkyria, Raquel Rodriguez, Asuka, IYO SKY, and Ivy Nile.

Glenn Jacobs revealed that WWE's Corporate Kane character didn't work as originally planned during a recent Going Ringside panel discussion. According to Jacobs, the concept created by Triple H was supposed to feature Corporate Kane as a non-wrestling spokesperson who would put on the mask and transform into the monster Kane only when the Authority needed physical enforcement, functioning like two separate personalities. Instead of following this split-personality concept, Jacobs said the execution got lost and he "just ended up getting beat up by everybody."
Kane's Glenn Jacobs revealed that removing the iconic mask in 2003 was his idea, not a decision from Vince McMahon or WWE creative. Jacobs explained he approached McMahon because he felt the mask limited his ability to show emotion and connect with fans, while also restricting his in-ring performance to maintain the character's believability. McMahon embraced the concept and took it further by having Kane's hair cut to make the character more sinister and unpredictable.
Glenn Jacobs revealed that WWE created the Kane character as a quick solution when Big Van Vader was arrested in Kuwait after an incident with a TV host who asked if wrestling was fake, leaving The Undertaker without an opponent. WWE originally pitched Kane as The Undertaker's masked brother for what was supposed to be a short-term storyline, but Vince McMahon liked the concept so much that he decided to invest in it as a long-term character rather than waste it on just one match.
