Results from Monday night\\u2019s Raw and Ring Of Honor\\u2019s weekend TV are straight ahead in this update but first\\u2026

\\n\\n

(STINGER: WWE)

\\n\\n

We\\u2019re learning more about the WWE Network\\u2019s jump to Peacock in the United States.

\\n\\n

In a news release Monday, we learned there will NOT be an automatic migration for existing network subscribers. They\\u2019ll need to sign up for Peacock Premium on their own.

\\n\\n

Peacock is running a special offer for the next month - FOUR months of Peacock Premium access for $9.99. If you have Comcast or Cox cable, you may already get Peacock Premium for free.

\\n\\n

WWE\\u2019s Peacock Era begins March 18th. There will be an \\u201coverlap\\u201d period. On Monday, we learned that\\u2019ll last a little over two weeks - ending on April 4th. That\\u2019s when the existing WWE Network app will cease operation.

\\n\\n

We also got more details about the Network content on Peacock.

\\n\\n

Not everything currently on the Network will be available when it launches on Peacock. WWE said Peacock is promising to have the entire network archive \\u201cavailable to stream on demand before SummerSlam\\u201d.

\\n\\n

At launch, the WWE Network on Peacock is promising every pay per view over the last calendar year... NXT episodes the day after they air... Raw and SmackDown episodes 30 days after they air\\u2026 Plus, WWE original programming and documentaries.

\\n\\n

Live fans WILL be in attendance at WrestleMania. WWE announced tickets go on sale next Tuesday. There will also be an exclusive presale opportunity for fans who register.

\\n\\n

Last night\\u2019s Raw opened with the new WWE Champion Bobby Lashley defending against The Miz. Miz lasted a little longer than he did last Monday, but eventually submitted to the Hurt Lock.

\\n\\n

Drew McIntyre is being called the \\u201cpresumptive\\u201d next challenger to Lashley. Drew brawled backstage with Sheamus. They later met in a No DQ Match...that ended when both men ran into one another while carrying steel ring steps. The referee determined that Sheamus could not continue and called off the match.

\\n\\n

Randy Orton and AJ Styles went at it in the main event. The end came when Alexa Bliss appeared on the \\u2018tron. Fire shot from the ring posts...Randy started to cough up BLACK GOO again...caught a Phenomenal Forearm from AJ and got pinned.

\\n\\n

Braun Strowman got an apology from Shane McMahon. Later, Shane not-so-subtly implied that Braun is stupid. That led to Braun chasing Shane backstage, where Shane was able to lose him.

\\n\\n

Reginald resurfaced on Raw, in the corner of the women\\u2019s tag champs Nia Jax and Shayna Baszler. Reginald was fired by Carmella in Friday\\u2019s SmackDown.

\\n\\n

Jax and Baszler successfully defended their tag titles against Naomi and Lana. Jax pinned Lana.

\\n\\n

The New Day will challenge The Hurt Business for the Raw Tag Titles on next Monday\\u2019s Raw. Xavier Woods beat Shelton Benjamin in a one-on-one match last night.

\\n\\n

Another title match made for next Monday: Riddle defends the U.S. Title against Mustafa Ali.

\\n\\n

Wednesday\\u2019s NXT is now promoting TWO major announcements from GM William Regal.

\\n\\n

(STINGER: ROH)

\\n\\n

Jay Lethal will challenge Rush for the Ring Of Honor World Championship at the ROH 19th Anniversary pay per view on Friday, March 26th.

\\n\\n

Lethal earned the shot by pinning Matt Taven in a 4-way on ROH\\u2019s weekend TV. A distraction by Vita VonStarr left Taven open for Lethal Injection. Jay Briscoe and EC3 were also in the match, but they brawled all the way backstage.

\\n\\n

Also on that show - Dalton Castle essentially saved his ROH career. He used a rollup to beat Josh Woods in a Pure Rules Match. After the match, Woods was confronted by his old tag partner Silas Young. But it\\u2019s not clear if they\\u2019ll reunite.

\\n\\n

(STINGER: New Japan)

\\n\\n

The New Japan Cup rolls on this morning with a pair of first round matches.

\\n\\n

Wednesday\\u2019s show will have THREE first round matches - Jay White vs. Toa Henare...Yujiro Takahashi vs. YOSHI-HASHI...and David Finlay vs. Chase Owens.

\\n\\n

A couple title changes in other Japanese promotions over the weekend\\u2026
