RAW Recap for the March 18, 2019 Episode of Monday Night RAW

The First Hour

Twenty nights away from the biggest party of the April and RAW starts off with Paul E. Dangerously and Brock Lesnar making their way to the ring.

Paul goes on a tirade that lasts way too long. He basically says Brock will beat up Seth Rollins because Seth is a little man when comparing him to the Bork.

Drew “3MB OG” McIntyre interrupts Heyman and says he can beat Brock for the Universal title because he’s brutal.

Seth Rollins appears and beats McIntyre over the back with a steel chair. Rollins charges the ring, but Bork and Paul E get the H-E double hockey sticks out of Dodge.

Tag Team: Finn Balor and A Super Duper Secret Partner vs Bobby Lashley and Lio Rush

Result: Braun pins Rush

  • Braun Strowman is who Finn picks to be his partner
  • After a mauling that almost turns RAW into a snuff film, Braun pins Rush after a Powerslam.

Ronda Rousey and Daily Burn Braun Strowman show up to the arena.

Alexa Bliss shows us her lovely Bliss by hosting an episode of “Moment of Bliss.” Alexa brags about inspiring some YouTuber to start their own talk show. She introduces her guest, Elias “Don’t You Dare Call Me Samson”.

Elias reminds us what his name is. Alexa introduces herself and welcomes Elias. She says that no one will interrupt Elias’s big announcement. Elias announces he will be the musical act for WrestleMania 35.

Elias destroys Chicago’s will to live by bringing up the missed field goal from the previous football season.

Otis leads a conga line onto the stage. Alexa berates Otis for missing his cue. No Way Jose jumps Elias from behind.

One on One: No Way Jose vs Elias

Result: Elias pins Jose

  • Elias hits Drift Away for the win

The One after the First Hour

Kurt Angle arrives and announces that his last match at WrestleMania 35 will be against the best choice for the job, Baron Corbin… Nope, not Cena, or ‘Taker, or HBK, or EC3, or Shawn Stasiak, or anyone that would make sense, but Baron Freakin’ Baron.

One on One: Chad Gable vs Kurt Angle

Result: Angle submits Gable

  • Via the Ankle Lock, Kurt wins via submission

Sasha Banks, Bayley, Beth Phoenix, and Natalya cut a promo about Beth coming out of retirement.

Beth challenges Sasha and Bayley. Bayley questions Beth’s ability to get back into the ring. Natalya overemphasizes what city she’s in. Sasha says something, but she mispronounces every other word so God only knows what she says.

Beth shoves Bayley and the four women get in a scuffle.

Women’s One on One: Natalya vs Sasha Banks

Result: Tamina causes a double disqualification

  • Mid-match, Nia Jax come out and cuts a promo on Beth Phoenix

Mojo Rawley cuts the best promo of the night and I’m not saying that sarcastically.

One on One: Ricochet vs Jinder Mahal

Result: Ricochet pins Mahal

  • Ricochet wins with the 630 Senton

The One after the One after the First Hour

RAW Women’s Championship: Ronda Rousey (c) vs Dana Brooke

  • Ronda wins with an Armbar

After the match, Ronda and some dude in the crowd beat up security guards.

One on One: Apollo Crews vs Baron Corbin

Result: Crews pins Corbin

  • The small package comes in handy once again to aid in Apollo beating Corbin

Drax the Destroyer shows up (via satellite) to mention he will beat up Triple H at WrestleMania.

One on One: Drew McIntyre vs Seth Rollins

Result: McIntyre pins Rollins

  • Before the match, McIntyre challenges Roman Reigns to a match at ‘Mania
  • With help from a distraction from Bork Laser and Paul E Dangerously, McIntyre wins with a Claymore kick

Even the captions have no idea what Sasha is trying to say…
