WWE RAW Highlights: Becky Lynch’s Suspension Lifted, “Rowdy” Ronda Unleashed, The Shield Reunited, Triple H Responds To Batista

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.

Also last night, The Shield reunited after Dean Ambrose who at first told Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns no, came back to the ring to help them after being attacked by Barron Corbin, Drew McIntyre and Bobby Lashley.

At Fastlane The Shield will Face, Corbin, McIntyre and Lashley.

Triple H responds to “The Animal” Batista’s vicious assault on two-time WWE Hall of Famer Ric Flair.

Backstage News On Dean Ambrose’s Heel Turn, Who Knew About Roman Reigns’ Announcement, More

Regarding Roman Reigns announcing his battle with leukemia on Monday’s WWE RAW, PWInsider reports that 99% of those in the company h ad no idea what Reigns was going to announce before he went out to the ring. The upper-level officials in the company, likely the McMahon family’s inner circle and Talent Relations, were the only ones who knew before the announcement was made on Monday that Reigns was ill, along with members of Reigns’ family. The announcers were not clued in to what the announcement was before it was made.

On a related note, Vince McMahon was not in attendance for Monday’s RAW.

Reigns taking time off and dropping the WWE Universal Title obviously changed some creative plans. PWInsider adds that most plans for the WrestleMania 35 main event picture are now “out the window” but as noted recently, the main event was not locked in. Reigns was still expected to be a part of one of the top matches.

Reigns’ announcement did not push up the heel turn by new RAW Tag Team Champion Dean Ambrose. That turn was planned for the future but officials decided to pull the trigger early. PWInsider adds that this was not a creative plan made at the last minute due to Reigns’ announcement but the turn was moved up.

Dean Ambrose Turns On Seth Rollins After Winning RAW Tag Titles (Video)

As if Raw wasn’t emotional enough due to everything involving Roman Reigns, the show ended with Dean Ambrose turning on Seth Rollins after they won the tag team titles.

The Shield defeated Dolph Ziggler/Drew McIntyre after Braun Strowman interfered and brawled with McIntyre to the backstage area. While Dolph was alone, Seth hit the Curb Stomp for the win.

Ambrose and Rollins began to celebrate in the ring, but Dean dropped the title and hit his tag partner with a Dirty Deeds DDT out of nowhere. He then continued to beat Rollins down while seemingly yelling about the conversation from Raw last week where Seth called him a lunatic.

Watch how it all went down below.

The Shield Reunites To Stop Braun Strowman From Cashing In MITB, Strowman Warns The Shield

The Shield reunited at the end of RAW last night to help Roman Reigns fight of a attempt by Braun Strowman to cash in his MITB title shot.

Dean Ambrose and WWE Intercontinental Champion Seth Rollins came out in their Shield gear right as Braun Strowman was about to cash in his Money In the Bank contract on WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns following his win over Finn Balor. The Shield destroyed Braun before he could cash in and ended the show by putting him through an announce table with a triple powerbomb.

Strowman posted a warning to The Shield on Twitter:

Triple H Joined The Shield At Live Event (Video)

It might not make much sense, but Triple H joined The Shield on Wednesday at a live event — and Dean Ambrose/Seth Rollins were stoked about it for some reason.

Roman Reigns won’t be cleared until shortly before Survivor Series. This means The Big Dog was unable appear on the UK tour, which had promoted a Shield appearance.

Then, in an effort to add star power to the events, Triple H was added to the tour.

Fast forward to tonight’s event in Glasgow when Seth Rollins got on the microphone before the match and said “desperate times call for desperate measures” … so he went with Plan B. Hunter then walked to the ring and was given an honorary vest.

The trio ultimately defeated Cesaro, Sheamus and Bray Wyatt — who made his return to action after an illness — then fist bumped in the ring.

Wondering why Triple H would team with two guys who supposedly hate his guts on TV? Or why Dean and Seth would be excited about it? We don’t have the answers.
