WWE Monday Night RAW Live Results: Batista Returns, But Why?

After last week's Monday Night RAW saw the return of Batista, the WWE Universe will want to keep their eyes on this week's show to see the fallout of his assault on Ric Flair's birthday celebration and how Triple H will respond.

With less than two months until WrestleMania 35, Triple H is set to address what happened last week in an apparent build towards his supposed awith The Animal.

In the women's division, Becky Lynch got herself arrested last week after she crashed Ronda Rousey's tag team match. Following the arrest, Ronda demanded that the McMahons reinstate Becky from her suspension and reinsert her into the WrestleMania match. Stephanie McMahon denied the request, so Rousey dropped her RAW Women's Championship in the ring and declared that she doesn't need it.

Monday night should further this story after Charlotte Flair, who is set to take on Rousey in April, saidon SmackDown Live she will come to RAW to be crowned the new RAW Women's Champion. Whether this happens or not is yet to be seen, but Becky may have a thing or two to say about that.

Considering the Twitter feud between Ronda and Becky just got really real, it'll be interesting to see if the two will interact tonight.

Another storyline that WWE fans will likely see tonight is the continued story between Roman Reigns - fresh off his remission announcement - Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose. After Rollins and Reigns saved Ambrose from the group of Elias, Drew McIntyre, Bobby Lashley and Baron Corbin, a Shield reunion may be in the works. At least until Dean leaves in April when his contract expires. Current reports say he will not re-sign with WWE.

With Fastlane this Sunday, expect to see set-ups for matches for the last pay-per-view before WrestleMania 35. Here's everything that happened on the March 4 episode of Monday Night RAW.
