The latest edition of WWE Monday Night Raw for January 14, 2019 took place at the FedExForum in Memphis, TN.
Here is a recap of the most noteworthy highlights from this episode for those who may have missed it:
— Vince McMahon starts the show in his limo, getting his driver to fix some smudges.
— Braun Strowman talks about how Brock Lesnar has always been scared of him and he's all healed up. Baron Corbin comes out, interrupting, to talk some trash. Strowman chases him to the back, where Elias informs Strowman that Corbin is hiding in the limo. Strowman kicks off a side mirror, bashes in a window and rips off a door. Corbin runs off and Vince McMahon comes back to find his car wrecked. He fines Strowman $100,000 and strips him of his title shot at Royal Rumble. Strowman, pissed, flips the limo. (In for a penny, in for a pound, right?)
— Ronda Rousey and Sasha Banks defeated Nia Jax and Tamina by submission. After the match, Rousey talks about how she's looking forward to making Banks tap out. This starts an argument. Later, backstage, Bayley and Natalya break the two up before they come to blows, but they take opposite sides (Bayley is pro Sasha, Natalya is pro Ronda). The Riott Squad proposition them for a match, if they can find a teammate.
— The Revival defeated The Lucha House Party by pinfall
— Vince McMahon heads to the ring. John Cena comes out to ask for the title shot. Drew McIntyre follows suit. Then Baron Corbin. Then Finn Balor. McMahon books them in a Fatal 4-Way. Later, Jinder Mahal asks McMahon backstage for an opportunity and it's decided that if he beats Balor, he takes his spot in the match.
— Bayley, Natalya and Nikki Cross defeated The Riott Squad by pinfall
— Finn Balor defeated Jinder Mahal by pinfall
— Bobby Lashley defeated Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins to win the Intercontinental Championship
— During A Moment of Bliss, Alexa Bliss reveals that at Elimination Chamber, 3 teams from Raw and 3 teams from SmackDown will compete to determine the Women's Tag Team Championship and reveals the titles. Paul Heyman comes out to reiterate that Brock Lesnar is retaining the title against whoever his new challenger is. Otis Dozovic pops up to say "I'm coming" and make things awkward. Then, the segment just ends.
— Fatal 4-Way Match: Finn Balor defeated John Cena, Drew McIntyre and Baron Corbin to earn the replacement spot in the Universal Championship match for Royal Rumble
