Reigns says last week was the comeback, but this week is when he takes his yard back. He asks Rollins to come to the ring so they can talk about something. It sounds like Reigns wants in on facing Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania.

Rollins says he is happy for Reigns and is inspired by him to win the Universal Championship from Brock Lesnar, but he realizes what it was like for Reigns to have to relinquish the title in the first place. Reigns says Rollins is wrong about what he wants. He puts Seth over for ruling WWE while he was gone. He says the favor he wants from Rollins is to get The Shield back together.

together would be good. Rollins relents and says he is willing to do it. Reigns asks Ambrose to come to the ring so they can make it official.

I think no one is ready for this New Ronda Rousey. I am rooting for the Triple Threat to happen. We go back to the ring with Rousey standing tall holding up the RAW Women's Championship.

Rating: 90/90 Pretty insane RAW with incredible matches and segments as we get closer to WWE Fastlane and WrestleMania.

Bryan signs the contract before saying a single word. Kofi is about to sign on the dotted line when Vince McMahon's music hits to interrupt him.
