WWE Monday Night RAW Live Results: Becky Lynch Comes Face-to-Face with Stephanie McMahon

It's a long road to WrestleMania, but WWE continued to lay the foundation for the April show on the February 4 episode of Monday Night RAW.

Last week, the post-Royal Rumble show saw a stare down between Becky Lynch and RAW Women's Champion, Ronda Rousey and Seth Rollins picking Brock Lesnar as his WrestleMania opponent. This week will continue those feuds as the company builds up to their marquee event of the year.

According to WWE.com, Stephanie McMahon has invited Becky Lynch to Monday Night RAW to talk about her upcoming match with Ronda Rousey. What does Stephanie have to say? How will Becky respond?

Kurt Angle is also set to address the WWE Universe about his future on Monday. Following his defeat to Baron Corbin last week, fans should be interested to hear what the former WWE Champion has to say.

In the ring, the Elimination Chamber qualifying matches continue as Bayley and Sasha Banks take on Nikki Cross and Alicia Fox to earn a spot in the match that will crown the first Women's Tag Team Champions.

Nia Jax and Tamina, Liv Morgan and Sarah Logan, The IIconics, and Mandy Rose and Sonya Deville are confirmed for the match.

Finn Balor and Intercontinental Champion, Bobby Lashley will square off on Monday night. Lashley took Balor to task last week over his poor Rumble performance, and now Finn is looking for retribution. A win tonight will help Balor earn a chance at the IC strap.

And finally, Elias will go one-on-one with WWE Hall of Famer, Jeff Jarrett. With Road Dogg in his corner, Double-J may have a shot at defeating Elias.
