Last night on RAW:

Stephanie McMahon announced that they are dropping all charges against Becky Lynch and her 60 day suspension has been lifted and that she would face Charlotte Flair at Sunday’s Fastlane for the vacated RAW Women’s Championship. Becky has to sign a Hold Harmless agreement.

Later at the end of the night, Becky signed the agreement and Ronda Rousey showed up and said she didn’t vacate the title she just wanted WWE to do the right thing. Stephanie gave Ronda back her title. Stephanie said Becky will still face Charlotte at Fastlane and if “The Man” beats Charlotte she will be added to the WrestleMania RAW Women’s Championship match with Ronda and Charlotte.

Stephanie McMahon says that “Ronda is going to get what’s coming to her” after The Baddest Woman on the Planet’s actions on RAW.

“The Man” does not let anyone tell her where she can and cannot be.

The on-going feud between Becky Lynch and RAW Women’s Champion Ronda Rousey went up a few notches on tonight’s edition of Monday Night RAW. Becky Lynch who was “suspended” for 60 days by WWE Chairman Vince McMahon, showed up on RAW during Ronda Rousey and Natalya’s tag team match against The Riott Squad and Becky took a swing at everyone in sight.

Becky Lynch and Ronda Rousey brawled all over the ringside area until they were separated by WWE officials and the Atlanta Police Department. The ATL P.D. got a hold of Becky and dragged her up the entrance ramp and restrained her via handcuffs.

After all of the chaos calmed calmed down, Ronda Rousey made her way back to the ring and called upon Vince McMahon to insert Becky Lynch back into the RAW Women’s Title match at WrestleMania 35. This led to Stephanie McMahon coming down to the ring and letting Ronda know that the match that is set in stone for WresteMania is herself versus Charlotte Flair. Ronda was not pleased with that answer and demanded that both Becky and Charlotte be her WrestleMania opponents and as Stephanie McMahon made it clear she was not budging, Ronda dropped the RAW Women’s Title in the middle of the ring.

Batista Ruins Ric Flair’s Birthday Celebration

“The Animal” Dave Bautista showed up to Ric Flair’s birthday celebration during Raw … but he wasn’t there to wish his old buddy well.

The celebration began with members of the roster gathered onstage as Triple H and Stephanie McMahon introduced guests Shawn Michaels, Ricky Steamboat, Kurt Angle and Sting. Flair was introduced next, but he was nowhere to be found.

Instead … Batista was shown angrily storming into Ric’s dressing room. Then he was seen dragging Flair out. “Hey hunter, do I have your attention now,” Dave said over an unconscious Flair.

Triple H then rushed to the backstage area to make the save, but Batista was gone.

As we previously reported, Bautista has recently been in talks with WWE about wrestling a match at WrestleMania 35. Looks like things have now been solidified.

Roman Reigns To Make Big Announcement On ABC’s GMA?

Roman Reigns / WWE Update

New promotional material for Roman Reigns’ appearance on ABC’s Good Morning America tomorrow notes that Reigns will be there to make “an announcement you can’t miss.”

Another promo for the appearance on GMA, seen below, says Reigns will go one-on-one with host Robin Roberts.

There’s no word yet on what that announcement will be but Reigns will return to WWE TV on tonight’s RAW from Atlanta to give an update on his battle with leukemia. Reigns has been away from WWE since announcing the diagnosis and relinquishing the WWE Universal Title back in October 2018.

There’s been speculation on a WWE ring return for Reigns after comments made by a personal trainer who recently worked with Reigns while he was in Hawaii. The trainer, Dave Gonyea, first noted that he had been helping Reigns prepare for his “in-ring return” while at the Island Club & Spa in the Waikiki area of Honolulu. Gonyea posted the photo below and told fans to tune into tonight’s RAW for more on the “in-ring return.”

Gonyea posted another comment to fans over the weekend and said Reigns is still recovering. He wrote, “Nah man he’s still recovering. He won’t be in action for another few months… keep in mind what leukemia is… and that he has been in remission this was a flair up that he needed treatment for. I was working out with him and he was definitely moving slow. It’s the PG era they aren’t working cancer.”

Stay tuned for updates on Reigns’ status.

Backstage News On The NXT Call Ups And Last Minute Changes Made To RAW This Week

Image result for Ricochet, Aleister Black, Johnny Gargano And Tommaso Ciampa Make RAW Debut

This week in WWE, RAW and SmackDown audiences were exposed to some of the most talented stars NXT has to offer when Ricochet, Aleister Black, NXT North American Champion Johnny Gargano, and NXT World Champion Tommaso Ciampa made their main roster debuts on WWE TV.

On the latest edition of Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer explained that WWE had a different episode of RAW put together sometime last week, one that didn’t include any new call ups. A week of ratings continuing to decline, All Elite Wrestling continuing to gain momentum, and the announcement that Undertaker is joining Starrcast 2 on AEW Double Or Nothing weekend, left McMahon feeling “off”.

McMahon decided to add some top tier wrestlers to the main roster, so he accessed the pool of available NXT stars and asked them to fly out their best four guys. Meltzer notes that Triple H didn’t initially know about the call ups and there was a lack of communication throughout the process.

The RAW match that ultimately saw Bobby Lashley & Lio Rush vs. WWE Intercontinental Champion Finn Balor & new NXT call up, Ricochet, was reportedly set to be Finn Balor vs. Ricochet in a singles match just before the show aired. It’s believed that Triple H made the call to switch up the singles match between the two babyface characters because he was concerned about how the crowd would react, and he didn’t want either star going over the other after Balor had just won the title and Ricochet had just debuted.

It was also noted that, for the foreseeable future, Ricochet, Black, Gargano, and Ciampa will be performing on WWE NXT, RAW, and SmackDown. The idea is to give each superstar their respective push and be “put over like crazy” in the process.

It will be interesting to see how this translates to NXT’s TakeOver special on WrestleMania weekend. It was mentioned that NXT already had storylines and a card laid out for the upcoming TakeOver event but the sudden change of plans may alter that.
