RAW Recap for the February 11, 2019 Episode of Monday Night RAW
Before RAW begins, two matches are announced for Elimination Chamber on YouTube, because there isn’t a show that airs on Mondays or Tuesdays that could be used to propel the importance of these matches.
The First of Three Hours
RAW begins this week like it usually does these days with Triple H and Stephanie McMahon in the ring. After stumbling over her words a bit, Steph hypes up the Elimination Chamber pay-per-view.
Becky Lynch makes her way out to the ring. Triple H apologizes to Becky. He says that, since Becky is now clear to wrestle, she will wrestle at WrestleMania and is no longer under suspension.
Stephanie says Becky vs Ronda will be the best match in WrestleMania history, if she can apologize for her actions last week. Becky tells Triple H and Stephanie to shove her apology up her arse. Triple H assures her this is not the issue she wants to battle, so he gives her until the end of the night to decide if she’s going to apologize or not.

After his song, Elias asks Lucha House Party what they think. Kalisto says he thinks the crowd think’s Elias sucks. Gran Mettalic starts singing. Kalisto plays Elias’s guitar. Elias hits Kalisto with a different guitar and runs to the back.

Everyone’s favorite walrus, Paul Heyman, walks out to have a nice chat with Seth. He teases the crowd with a Brock Lesnar appearance, but, SuRpRiSiNgLy, he’s not there. Seth says Brock’s lack of respect for wrestling is an insult. Paul E Dangerously says Brock beating Seth is not only a promise, it’s a spoiler. Seth says he will beat Lesnar, and that’s a spoiler.

Becky Lynch takes to the ring after The Revival’s match. Stephanie McMahon and Triple H join her in the match. Stephanie and Triple H assure Becky that they want her to face Ronda, but only if she apologizes.
Becky apologizes to them, but she says no one will stop her from beating Ronda Rousey.
Triple H and Stephanie leave, but Becky seems skeptical. They congratulate her and tell her good luck.
Ronda Rousey comes down to the ring. Just before she fights with Becky, Mr. McMahon comes out to the stage.
Mr. McMahon says he doesn’t like Becky’s bad attitude. He says Becky isn’t the man; He is the man. Vince suspends Becky for sixty days, which runs past WrestleMania. He names Charlotte Flair Ronda’s new opponent.
