MONDAY NIGHT RAW Highlights For February 17, 2020: Randy Orton VS Matt Hardy, Black VS Rowan And More

The latest edition of WWE Monday Night Raw for February 17, 2020 took place at the Angel of the Winds Arena in Everett, WA.

Here is a recap of the most noteworthy highlights from this episode for those who might have missed it:

— Randy Orton started the show with a promo about how Matt Hardy won't get cleared to compete tonight. Hardy came out to say he will not die, Orton won't be the one choosing when his career ends and that he's here to fight. Orton explained that he's always respected Matt and loved Edge like a brother and that he's sorry. But even though he walked away, Orton came back and attacked Hardy, eventually with a steel chair and twice giving him a con-chair-to (but with the steel steps underneath Matt's head, rather than another chair).

— Aleister Black defeated Erick Rowan by pinfall

— Charlotte Flair explained why she's challenging Rhea Ripley. She feels Ripley and the current group of Superstars in NXT don't give enough respect to her class for laying the foundation they take advantage of. Her opportunities are awarded to her because of Flair putting the NXT title on the map, so she shouldn't come to her show and step in her ring and act proud. She's going to humble her at WrestleMania.

— Riddick Moss retained the 24/7 Championship over both Mojo Rawley and R-Truth.

— Drew McIntyre had a promo segment with Paul Heyman. Eventually, MVP came out, wanting payback for how McIntyre turned him down and gave him a Claymore during their VIP Lounge segment. But McIntyre defeated MVP by pinfall in a match that followed the promo.

— Becky Lynch drops some money in the ring and says it's a down payment for the fines she'll get when she finds Shayna Baszler. The Queen of Spades then appeared on the TitanTron to say since Elimination Chamber is in a cage, all of this is laid out perfectly for her to win. She didn't even plan on biting Becky last week, so imagine what she does have planned. She's going to "tear the living shit out of [Becky]".

— Bobby Lashley and Angel Garza defeated Rusev and Humberto Carrillo by pinfall

— Kairi Sane defeated Natalya by count-out.

— The sermon that Seth Rollins had, about how everyone who isn't compliant in following his divine words will be dealt with, was interrupted by The Viking Raiders and Kevin Owens.

— Ricochet interrupted The O.C. cutting a promo about how great AJ Styles is. He challenged The Phenomenal One to a match, but Karl Anderson opted to fight Ricochet instead. Ricochet defeated Karl Anderson by pinfall.

— Liv Morgan told Charly Caruso that when Ruby Riott betrayed their friendship, it would have broken her in the past. But now, she's more confident in her skin and is looking to her future where she eliminates Riott from the Elimination Chamber and goes on to win that and have a title match at WrestleMania.

— Kevin Owens and The Viking Raiders defeated Murphy and AOP by disqualification. Rollins interfered and the foursome then planned to "crucify" Owens, but The Street Profits came to the rescue.
