WWE RAW Live Results: Brock Lesnar Returns Before 'Greatest Royal Rumble'

The April 23 edition of Monday Night RAW is the last episode before the Greatest Royal Rumble event in Saudi Arabia, so it should feel like a go-home show. One key reason: all seven men's titles will be on the line during this Friday's WWE Network special (12 p.m. EDT.)

According to WWE.com, Universal Champion Brock Lesnar is slated to be on RAW tonight to confront Roman Reigns before their rematch at Greatest Royal Rumble. Will WWE fans see more of the same this Friday?

The RAW roster gained a lot of new faces from the Superstar Shakeup, including the Riott Squad, Jinder Mahal, Kevin Owens, Sami Zayn, Bobby Roode, Dolph Ziggler, Natalya and Drew McIntyre. How will the new additions fit into RAW? Here are the live results for this week's episode.

Note: The results are still being compiled. We'll update as matches conclude.
