WWE Roadblock 2016 is a upcoming professional wrestling event produced by WWE. It will take place on March 12, 2016 and aired exclusively on the WWE Network from the Ricoh Coliseum in Toronto, Ontario.
Background
Roadblock, originally titled March to WrestleMania: Live from Toronto, will consist of professional wrestling matches that involved wrestlers from pre-existing scripted feuds or storylines that play out on WWE's primary television programs, Raw and SmackDown along with WWE's developmental branch NXT. Wrestlers will portray heroes or villains as they follow a series of events that build tension and culminate in a wrestling match or series of matches.
On the February 29 episode of Raw, Dean Ambrose challenged Triple H to a match for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship. Later that night, Triple H interfered in Ambrose's match against Alberto Del Rio, causing a disqualification. Ambrose attacked Triple H, but Triple H stopped his onslaught with a Pedigree. He then accepted the challenge before attacking Ambrose again. The following day on WWE.com, it was announced that the match will take place at Roadblock.
On the March 2 episode of NXT, NXT Tag Team Champions The Revival were scheduled to defend their titles against Enzo Amore and Colin Cassady at Roadblock.
At Royal Rumble, Brock Lesnar eliminated Luke Harper, Erick Rowan and Braun Strowman of The Wyatt Family from the Royal Rumble match. However, the trio re-entered the ring and eliminated Lesnar from the match. On the March 3 episode of SmackDown, it was announced that a match between Brock Lesnar and Bray Wyatt will take place at Roadblock.
On March 8, it was announced that WWE Tag Team Champions The New Day would defend their titles against the League of Nations members Sheamus and King Barrett at Roadblock.
On March 11, Charlotte announced that she would be facing Natalya at the event.
