After last week's show completely changed the landscape of the road to WrestleMania, tonight's edition of Monday Night Raw was expected to come up with some much-needed answers.

The show left some of the burning questions from last week up in the air, but ended up giving us three huge surprises as we moved forward with the show of shows on the horizon.

Let's take a look at these three exciting progressions that fans got to witness on Raw.


#3. Charlotte vs Becky is set for Fastlane

WWE did the unthinkable on Monday Night Raw much to the fans' utter amazement.

The WWE Universe was expecting that Charlotte would be handed the title by the McMahons, or Ronda would come back to get what was rightfully hers. Nothing of this sort happened though.

Stephanie came out to the ring and announced that Becky's suspension was being lifted as the fans cheered. She added that since Ronda disrespected the title and was effectively out of the title scene!

Becky vs Charlotte was announced at Fastlane for the Raw Women's title. It's almost a lock that Ronda will come back at Fastlane and interrupt the match, leading to the title becoming vacant. The main event of WrestleMania 35 could possibly be a triple threat match for the vacant Women's title.

Later on in the night, a disgruntled Ronda came back and attacked Charlotte and Becky, finally turning heel in the process. Ronda took her title back from Stephanie, leading to Stephanie making the match at Fastlane a traditional one-on-one bout, with Becky losing her Mania spot in case she loses.

#2. Triple H delivers a promo for the ages

Even though Batista didn't come out to explain his dastardly actions last week, he addressed the fans and Triple H via satellite.

Triple H went on to give one of the greatest promos in recent history, as he referred to Ric Flair with his real name, Richard Fliehr. In a hilarious moment amidst all the tension, Triple H reminded the fans that he was present in at least a few of Ric Flair's weddings.

Things turned emotional pretty quickly as The Game mentioned Ric burying his own son Reid, and how hard it was for him. He mentioned Ric going into a coma last year and Hunter being afraid of receiving a call, in fear of hearing about Ric's demise. The Cerebral Assassin berated Batista on being a coward who attacked a 70-year old man in order to get his attention.

It's almost official now: The Game and The Animal would be facing each other in one of the biggest grudge matches in recent memory.

#1. The Shield is reunited again!

After an eventful night with Rollins and Reigns doing their best to convince Dean to join them, it finally happened!

Ambrose left Rollins and Reigns in the ring and was heading back when the villains came out and prepared to jump on the remaining two Shield members. This was enough for Ambrose, as he joined the brawl in quick succession.

It didn't take long for the Shield to dispose of the villains, and the match became a lock for Fastlane!

The Shield will be facing the notorious trio of Corbin, McIntyre and Lashley this Sunday. There's only one way this match is going to end, and that would be with a triple powerbomb to one of the villains, preferably Corbin, and a big win for the reunited Shield.

The trio will most probably reunite one more time at the show of shows, to fend off a ruthless Lesnar and help Rollins win the Universal title.
