WWE Monday Night RAW Live Results: Becky Lynch Returns to Confront Authority

Tonight is the final episode of Monday Night RAW before this Sunday's Elimination Chamber pay-per-view. The card still has some room for a match or two, and the go-home episode of RAW will likely fill it.

The WWE's most popular superstar, Becky Lynch, returns to RAW after being invited - again - by the McMahon family. Stephanie McMahon suspended Lynch after the Lass-Kicker refused to see a doctor for her knee last week, and quickly found herself on the receiving end of a Becky attack. The next night on SmackDown Live, Lynch arrived on the blue brand to interrupt a Charlotte Flair promo and Triple H gave her a tongue lashing. Lynch responded to The Game's verbal tirade by slapping the Cerebral Assassin. What can the WWE Universe expect from Becky Lynch tonight?

Seth Rollins makes his return to Monday Night RAW after suffering a brutal attack from Universal Champion Brock Lesnar the night after the Royal Rumble. The Architect will address the WWE Universe and it's anyone's guess to what he has to say.

Becky's opponent at WrestleMania 35, RAW Women's Champion Ronda Rousey is set to take on Ruby Riott this Sunday. After Ronda dispatched of Liv Morgan and Sarah Logan last week, the Riott Squad will look to deal some damage to the champ before this Sunday's bout.

Finn Balor took out Lio Rush last week, but Intercontinental Champion Bobby Lashley refused to give Balor a shot at his title. Now that Barlor took out Rush, will Lashley give Finn the title shot he wants?

A lot is expected to happen on the go-home episode of Monday Night RAW. Here's everything that happened on the February 11 episode.
