Note: This article contains the full results of the matches of WWE Monday Night Raw from TD Garden in Boston(Mbadachusetts) aired Monday, March 25, 2019.
The Road to WrestleMania 35 continues to turn, and every week on WWETV sees a new pack of matches added to the map.
Yesterday Monday night, Raw was no exception to the rule. We had two confirmed title matches, a collision between the big hitters and a savory stipulation, all of which were added to the New Jersey debates.
Read on for six things we learned last night.
1. Roman Reigns vs. Drew McIntyre Is Confirmed For WrestleMania 35 … But Dean Ambrose Still Hides In The Background
This match was started a long time ago, and after Drew McIntyre officially challenged Reigns' return last week, it was anything but a cert.
Now, it's a lock, with Roman Reigns (and Joe Anoa's) agreeing to face the Scottish psychopath at WrestleMania 35.
After the main events of FOUR WrestleMania (three games for the world title, the other against The Undertaker), this match without stakes could give the impression of taking a step back for The Big Dog.
But given his success in bringing leukemia back into remission, Roman Reigns will not worry about a year from first place.
And although there is no gold at stake, he will want to face Drew, who has not only harbaded Seth Rollins for months, but has also beaten Dean Ambrose in every way.
It seemed like he might have even ended Lunatic Fringe's WWE career with their No Disqualification match, No Count-out, Falls Count Anywhere a fortnight ago, but you can not hold back a good dean … or can you?
DA surfaced last night and faced McIntyre one last time (final?) In a Last Man Standing match.
Their extremely brutal battle in the main event ended in another victory for the Scottish. When McIntyre looked at Ambrose's battered body and the WrestleMania panel, this surely looks like a curtain for Dean.
But many have written off two weeks ago. Although there is no date for the ball in the state, we do not bet against Ambrose who returns one last time to end up in the corner of his brother at WrestleMania.
2. Four-way match in WWE team championship finally confirmed
Another long confrontation between Mania is finally confirmed.
Sasha Banks and Bayley have, when it matters at least, taken on all the challenges of their relatively new WWE Women's Team Championship.
But if Nia Jax and Tamina have not abandoned their challenger status after the defeat of Fastlane, other big names are also present.
Regarding SDLive, the IIconics group has accused the Boss 'N'. Hug Connection to be afraid. No more, as they face the duo in Mania with gold on the line.
Natalya and Beth Phoenix, better known as Divas of Doom, make up the quartet of the teams.
It all vanished when Natalya confronted Sasha one-on-one and the duo was interrupted by Nia and Tamina.
Beth Phoenix is involved and has cleaned the house, while making her drawings on the headlines clear enough.
Bayley and Sasha announced that they would welcome all the players of their title to WrestleMania, and damn it, they just had their wish and more.
3. Triple H agrees to put his career on the line against Batista at WrestleMania 35
Well, this one has become very interesting.
When Batista came out of nowhere (in Hollywood, a few weeks ago) to celebrate Ric Flair's birthday, we could see where he was going.
And a few weeks later, this has been confirmed: Triple H vs Batista in what many think is the final moment of The Animal for the WWE.
Batista does not want to just drop Trips, though. He wants to end The Game's career on the biggest stage of all.
Unexpectedly, he resorted to a sibilant legal letter to have a chance to achieve it.
And while rejecting all the legal jargon moany of the document, Trips still accepted the stipulation, declaring itself clearly ready to do it again at WrestleMania.
So this opens up some possibilities.
Will Trips defeat his former protégé and send him back to Hollywood? Or will Batista stop The Game and end HHH's career in the ring?
By the time WrestleMania 36 becomes available, Triple H will be 50 years old. Batista will be a year older. (but has many fewer miles on the clock) Mania 35 could it be the end of one or both of their time in the square circle?
4. Becky Lynch and Charlotte Flair (and Ronda Rousey) fight on Monday Night Raw and Bex beats the clock
Although Becky Lynch and Charlotte Flair are both on Monday Night Raw and SmackDown Live in recent weeks as they prepare for WrestleMania's first major event, which only fights for the story, they generally do not fight not against the Red Mark.
These are SD Live superstars, after all, but that's history, so the conventions can be broken.
Becky, Charlotte and Ronda clashed last night, even though it was against the clock, rather than one against the other.
RR set the tone by beating Sarah Logan in 1:25 with a bid, and despite all her efforts, Charlotte Flair failed to put Ruby Riott in this period.
It remained to Becky Lynch to show that all that Ronda could do, she could do better … and faster, not taking a second, but seven seconds, against the defeat of Liv Morgan by Rowdy One.
Everything is playing for the position at this stage, but each victory helps to push this momentum before the big day.
5. Finn Bálor has a chance to take the title of WWE Intercontinental Champion at WrestleMania 35
It's one we have not seen coming.
We were saddened by the brevity of Finn Bálor's reign as the WWE Intercontinental Champion after Bobby Lashley returned to his belt.
And in this age "without automatic remats", we badumed that a depressed Bálor would look elsewhere for something to do at WrestleMania, especially with rumors of Undertaker / Demon.
But now, Finn is back in the IC title photo after an impressive handicap win at last night's show.
He was once again opposed to champion Bobby Lashley and instead of calling Lio Rush for a helping hand, The All Mighty was replaced by former WWE Champion Jinder Mahal.
In practice, this meant Lashley, Mahal PLUS and Lio Rush PLUS, not two but two Singh brothers all against the Irishman.
But despite the fact that the game of numbers is against him, it is Finn who won with a Coup de Grace on Jinder.
So, forget the Deadman bringing the demon. Instead, it's Bobby Lashley vs. Finn Bálor for the IC title (again), this time at WrestleMania.
6. Colin Jost and Michael Che of SNL take part in the Royal Battle of Memorial André le Géant
Last week, ONE name had been added to the hat for the Royal Battle in memory of Andrew the Giant: Braun Strowman.
Two other competitors joined him, none of them being real wrestlers, during the show last night: Saturday Night LiveColin Jost and Michael Che.
After their recent altercation behind the scenes, Jost showed up in front of Braun's face (via a satellite link, of course) and asked to be paid for the car that the Monster among the men had destroyed in their break-up . Oh, and he also wanted an autograph from Brock Lensar.
Braun Strowman was not in the mood for these shenanigans and instead was asking Jost to join the royal battle.
Either that, or he would find it outside the square circle where there are no rules or umpires.
Jost agreed on the condition that Che join him as a substitute, and Alexa Bliss made it official.
So this is a weird bit that takes place in the always entertaining battle of the Royal Memorial André le Géant, at the time of the Mania.
