3 interesting observations from this week's RAW (February 25, 2019)

This week's edition of WWE Monday Night RAW (25th February 2019) saw a lot of contrasting moments. Right from Roman Reigns' triumphant return to Batista's unexpected assault on Ric Flair, last night's episode had it all.

Without any doubt, this week's show will always be regarded as one of the most memorable RAW episodes of 2019. Even if the middle half of the show had some faults, all of those mistakes were counterbalanced by the two biggest events of the night, that is, both Roman Reigns and Batista making a return to WWE.

With that being said, let us take a look at some interesting observations from last night's episode of Monday Night RAW...

#3: What's next for Roman Reigns?

“This is your yard!” the WWE Universe chanted

It is official. Roman Reigns is back.

Last night, he made an appearance on RAW in order to provide an update on his battle with Leukemia. Roman Reigns got a standing ovation from the WWE Universe, and there it was revealed that the disease was now in remission.

He even appeared on the show, later on, helping out Dean Ambrose against Drew McIntyre, Elias, Baron Corbin and Bobby Lashley, with Seth Rollins by his side.

But the question remains, what's next for Roman Reigns?

If last night was any indication, we could witness a potential Shield reunion in the near future. Dean Ambrose isn't a full-fledged heel anymore, and the reunion was hinted upon this particular segment.

Ambrose was announced to leave the company after WrestleMania 35, and this could be WWE's last bid at potentially staging the last Shield reunion at the Grandest Stage of them all (or before that).

It is important to note that Roman Reigns didn't technically lose his Universal Title against any WWE Superstar. Maybe Roman Reigns could be added to the Universal Championship match at WrestleMania 35, thereby making it a Triple Threat contest, with Seth Rollins and Brock Lesnar being the other two competitors.

Nevertheless, it is too early to confirm any of the numerous rumours circulating around the internet. What do you think is next in line for The Big Dog?

#2: The Becky-Charlotte-Rousey saga keeps getting more interesting each week

Becky Lynch was 'arrested' on RAW last night

Ronda Rousey has handed over her title back to the company until and unless Becky Lynch gets added to the RAW Womens' Championship match at WrestleMania 35.

However, THE MAN, Becky Lynch, got 'arrested' on RAW last night for violating her suspension yet again. Meanwhile, Charlotte Flair did not appear on the show, despite numerous rumours which suggested that Ric Flair's 70th birthday party would be a setup for the Becky-Charlotte-Rousey saga.

Instead, the WWE Universe got swerved, and the birthday party turned out to be a setup for escalating tensions between Triple H and Batista.

Nevertheless, it is interesting to figure out how the Becky-Charlotte-Rousey saga will play out in the next few weeks. Ronda Rousey's act of choosing one side for the greater good complicates things even further.

We know how all of this might probably turn out at WrestleMania 35, but it will certainly be intriguing to find out how we reach there.

#1: Batista's possible motivations while calling out Triple H

“Hey Hunter, do I have your attention now?”

Since the 1000th episode of SmackDown, rumours had been suggesting that a possible rivalry featuring Triple H and Batista at the forefront was in the works, and last night, this rumour indeed came true.

In what wrestling fans could describe as one of the most unexpected moments in recent memory, Batista attacked Ric Flair during the latter's 70th birthday celebration.

While Triple H, Stephanie McMahon and a few other legends waited in the ring for Ric Flair to arrive, the camera suddenly panned to the backstage area, where Batista dragged a cameraman towards Ric Flair's locker room, only to barge inside and drag the Nature Boy in front of millions of fans watching the show live.

He did get Triple H's attention to say the least, and before you know it, Batista's return to portraying a full-fledged heel in this particular situation proves that things have become personal.

After all, during the 1000th episode of SmackDown last year, Batista appreciated Triple H for his accolades, but he also made a specific point that Hunter had done everything in WWE, except beating Batista.

Maybe Batista's (the character) true motivation here is to face Triple H at WrestleMania 35. He wants to solidify himself as a superior member of Evolution, who can hold the "Triple H couldn't beat me" argument against every critic throughout the years.

Maybe Batista's current angle is a knock towards his underwhelming 2014 run, and this particular feud could be Batista's redemption story. After all, he had expressed a desire to return to the ring several times last year.

Now that we are set to witness a potential battle between Triple H and Batista at WrestleMania 35, things are about to pick up in the next few weeks...
