RAW

Roman Reigns comes out to a huge ovation to open the show.

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.

Rollins says he doesn't think getting The Shield back together is a good idea, but Reigns says he has different priorities now and he thinks getting the band back

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.

Ambrose comes out on the stage but before he can say anything, Elias comes out and smashes a guitar over his back. Rollins and Reigns chase him away. Ambrose

eventually gets to his feet and walks to the back without help.

Rousey comes to the ring after the break and asks Stephanie what she is doing. She says she never relinquished the title and was just giving Steph a week to think about including Becky. She demands her title back and Stephanie hands it to her. She changes the Fastlane match between Becky and Charlotte. If Becky wins, she is added to the Mania match between Flair and Rousey. The champ gets in Stephanie's face and says she can do whatever she wants because McMahon makes too much money from her to fire her.

The segment ended with Rousey standing tall holding up the RAW Women's Championship as Charlotte looks on. We go backstage to Stephanie getting interviewed about the whole situation that just happened and she basically just said Rousey will get what's coming for her at WrestleMania and basically which ever the match happens it will be good. 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.
