WWE RAW Results February 25th 2019, latest Monday Night Raw winners, video highlights

Roman Reigns came out to the ring the kickoff RAW to a huge response from the crowd as he greeted them, shook hands and took some pictures with the front row. Roman said that he was in remission and the crowd erupted. It has been four months since he announced that he had been battling Leukemia and had to take time off from competing in the ring. Roman added that the Big Dog was back and said that he will use the WWE platform to raise awareness and help people.

As Roman was walking out, Seth Rollins came in and the two former teammates smiled at each other before the two shared a hug. The first match of the night was a tag team match where the recently drafted Superstars Ricochet & Aleister Black faced off The Revival.

The two teams put on an incredible match to follow up Roman's announcement

The Revival attacked Black and Ricochet right off the bat before the bell was even rung. Both Ricochet and Black sent the Revival outside and followed up with huge dives over the ropes as we headed to commercials. The match was underway as we returned and Wilder was in the ring with Ricochet before Black was tagged in.

After a bit of back and forth, Dawson was the legal man and went after Ricochet who escaped the ring. Black came in from behind and hit the Black Mass for the quick pinfall.

Result: Ricochet & Aleister Black def. The Revival

We cut to a shot of HBK Shawn Michaels backstage who was there for Ric Flair's birthday party. Up next was a tag team bout between the team of Ronda Rousey & Natalya against The Riott Squad.

Becky Lynch had to be arrested after yet another interference

Logan and Natalya kicked off the match and Riott was tagged in early on. Natalya was in trouble for a second before she managed to make a tag to Rousey who came in and cleaned house. Morgan interfered and Rousey and Natalya hit a double-team move on her on the outside.

After we returned from commercials Ronda was going at Riott after she came to the aide of Sarah Logan. Riott had Logan on her shoulders and hit the Piper's Pit but before she could go for the pin Becky Lynch jumped the barricades from, the crowds wearing a 'Kill Bill-esque' tracksuit and attacked Rousey with her crutch.

The Atlanta police department were out after the officials failed to contain the two and had to handcuff Becky before escorting her out of the arena.

After the carnage, Rousey called for Vince McMahon to show up but Stephanie came out instead.

Rousey hands Stephanie an ultimatum

Rousey handed Stephanie an ultimatum

Rousey told Stephanie McMahon to 'just reinstate' Becky to her WrestleMania match because she was at her 'wit's end'. Stephanie said it was not possible since Becky was arrested and she brought it on herself by being 'unprofessional'. Rousey pleaded with Stephanie to put Becky and Charlotte both in the WrestleMania title match against her but Stephanie still said no.

Rousey said she demands Becky be reinstated and placed the title at her feet and said "it's time for you to make the right decision" before walking out.

Dean Ambrose vs. Drew Mcintyre - No DQ match

Ambrose attacked Drew outside the ring before his entrance was over and the two brawled their way to the ring as the match began officially. Dean took off his belt but McIntyre went on to demolish him with it instead. Dean sent McIntyre into the steel steps and then hit a neck breaker in the ring before going ham on him with the belt.

McIntyre hit the Glasgow Kiss and charged at Dean with the steps in hand. Ambrose dodged the attack and bounced Drew's head off the steps but Elias smashed a guitar on Ambrose. Drew went for the pin and got the three count.

Bayley hit a huge hip toss on Nia early, on getting the upper hand as we headed for commercials. We returned to see Bayley scurry out of a big move and spear Nia in the corner. Nia charged at the tag champ and hit a devastating lariat. Nia went for a submission hold but Bayley got out of it.

Nia set Bayley up in the corner, upside down, and hit a big splash. Tamina went for the interference but Banks sidestepped. Jax grabbed Sasha Banks' hair and the distraction helped Bayley land an elbow from the top rope to get the win.

Ric Flair's 70th Birthday Bash

The guests were in for a shock as the party took a turn for the worst

Triple H and Stephanie McMahon came out and introduced our guests, HBK Shawn Michaels, Ricky 'the Dragon' Steamboat, Kurt Angle and finally Sting, all of whom came out to the ring. They unveiled a brand new Golden WWE Championship belt that was a gift for Flair.

Rick Flair's music hit but no one showed up. Batista was seen backstage going into Ric's locker room and then drag him by the collar out onto the floor backstage. Triple H immediately ran out to help and they found Flair nearly unconscious, lying on the ground as the show cut out on that strange note.
