The latest edition of WWE Monday Night Raw for March 4, 2019 took place at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia, PA.
Here is a recap of the most noteworthy highlights from this episode for those who may have missed it:
— Roman Reigns kicks things off with a promo in the ring, calling out Seth Rollins for a favor. He asks Rollins to help him "get the band back together" with one more Shield reunion before Dean Ambrose may leave. Rollins takes some winning over, but he agrees to the idea. Dean Ambrose comes out, but before he gets a chance to do anything, he's attacked by Elias, who nails him in the back with a guitar.
— Drew McIntyre, Baron Corbin and Bobby Lashley defeated Finn Balor, Kurt Angle and Braun Strowman by pinfall. After the match, the heels continue to beat down the babyfaces with steel steps.
— Charly Caruso shows Heavy Machinery footage of The Ascension, The B-Team and Zack Ryder and Curt Hawkins talking about them backstage. The babyfaces somewhat stand up for them, but The Ascension make fun of Otis in particular.
— Natalya defeated Ruby Riott by pinfall. Lacey Evans came out to do her thing after the match.
— Triple H cut a passionate promo on Batista's attack on Ric Flair, saying Batista has his attention now.
— Stephanie McMahon announces backstage that all charges against Becky Lynch have been dropped and if she signs a hold harmless agreement, she will face Charlotte Flair for the now vacated Raw Women's Championship at Fastlane.
— Heavy Machinery defeated The B-Team, The Ascension and Zack Ryder and Curt Hawkins in succession in a gauntlet match.
— Torrie Wilson is officially announced for the WWE Hall of Fame class of 2019 with a video package on her career.
— Elias defeated Dean Ambrose by pinfall. After the match, Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns come out to talk to Ambrose, but he leaves and heads into the crowd. Drew McIntyre, Bobby Lashley and Baron Corbin come out to attack Reigns and Rollins. Ambrose runs to the ring and makes the save. The Shield officially reunite and are booked in a match against those three heels for Fastlane.
— Tamina defeated Sasha Banks by pinfall
— The Revival retained the Raw Tag Team Championship over Aleister Black and Ricochet by disqualification after Chad Gable and Bobby Roode attacked Dash Wilder and Scott Dawson out of anger for how they think they deserve to be in line for a title shot to get their belts back.
— Becky Lynch signs the hold harmless agreement, setting up her match against Charlotte Flair at Fastlane. Ronda Rousey comes out to clarify that she never dropped the title and wants it back. Stephanie McMahon makes it official that the title is still hers and changes the match at Fastlane to a stipulation where if Becky wins, she'll be inserted into the title match at WrestleMania and it will be a Triple Threat. If Flair wins, Lynch is out of the mix entirely. Rousey cuts a promo on how she's sick of the fans booing her, screw the woo and damn The Man. Rousey full-on turns heel and attacks both Flair and Lynch.
