It was the go-home episode before Fastlane but WWE are clearly more interested in building up to WrestleMania than their upcoming PPV. It was yet another interesting Monday Night RAW but what caught everyone's eyes was that there were way too many things WWE rushed into.

With so many stories running parallel, WWE will look to include a good build up in each of the ongoing feud on their 'Road to WrestleMania'.

Last week's episode had left the fans questioning a few things but tonight's show answered more questions than the ones asked. Without further ado, here is a look at 3 things WWE confirmed tonight:


#3 – The Shield reunite...again!

Starting off with the most obvious one...The Shield. Last week when Roman Reigns returned, there were a few hints dropped by WWE that a reunion of The Shield was on the cards.

However, no one was sure if it would happen and if it did, when? Rumours suggested that WWE would be waiting until Fastlane to reunite the brothers but that was not the case.

The kicked off the show with Reigns announcing that he wants the reunion to happen, but Elias stopped it before anything happened. Roman and Seth made another attempt to convince Dean after his match vs Elias but the Lunatic Fringe walked away.

Only for him come back and help his Shield-brothers who were being attacked by Baron Corbin, Bobby Lashley and Drew McIntyre. Now, with The Shield reunited and a fraction attacking them, a match at Fastlane has been confirmed by the WWE.

The match is now being sold as the 'one last time' for the hounds of justice as Ambrose's contract is up after WrestleMania. While rumours suggest that there has been a change in the situation and that the Lunatic Fringe is set to stay, nothing official has been announced and fans are still puzzled.

#2 Ronda Rousey is a heel now

Rousey wants a Triple Threat Match between her, Charlotte and Becky at The Show of Shows, but Stephanie refuses.

A week after laying the RAW Women's title at Stephanie McMahon's feet and leaving the ring, Ronda ' Rowdy' Rousey returned to take her title back. Just as the match between Becky and Charlotte for Fastlane was set to be confirmed for the title, the Baddest Women on the Planet made her way and asked for her title back.

She then cut a promo in which she turned on the fans and then proceeded to attack both Charlotte and Becky. While The Queen was knocked out of the ring with one punch, Becky suffered at the hands of Rousey.

The former UFC champion put the armbar multiple times on the injured Becky. The swift change showed that the champion is now a heel and that will leave Becky Lynch as the only face in the WrestleMania main event if she makes it that is.

#1 Charlotte vs Becky at Fastlane

And there we have it. Yet another PPV with Charlotte vs Becky as one of the top matches. If 2018 wasn't enough for the rivalry, WWE are trying to squeeze everything out of this until the very end.

The WWE Universe isn't complaining though as the match has a very interesting stipulation. Stephanie first announced that it would be for the RAW Women's Title but when Rousey took her title back, it was changed to a qualifying match for Becky.

Should Becky manage to beat Charlotte on Sunday, she would be added to the main event of WrestleMania to face Rousey and Charlotte. However, The Queen come out victorious at Fastlane, the match will remain a one-on-one at the show of all shows.
