Ringside Intel brings you a recap and results for tonight’s WWE Monday Night Raw (2/4/2019) broadcast. Pre-show starts at 7:50 pm EST and the main show at 8 pm EST. Stephanie McMahon invites ‘The Man’ Becky Lynch to the show. Tweet and follow @RingsideIntel on Twitter.
Monday Night Raw: 8 pm EST
Stephanie McMahon is in the ring and she starts introducing the evening, but Becky Lynch’s music interrupts and The Man limps her way down to the ring. Stephanie notes how Becky has been limping and says she will need to be cleared by medical staff. Becky refuses and accuses Stephanie of trying to sabotage the match but Stephanie assures her that she wants to see Becky beat Ronda Rousey, especially considering Stephanie’s own history with the champion.
Becky still refuses and Stephanie says then she will have to suspend her and not let her compete at WrestleMania. So Becky ends up attacking Steph and puts a little beating on her, sending Steph into retreat up the aisle as the crowd chants Becky’s name.
Not going to let #TheMan compete without being medically cleared?@BeckyLynchWWE doesn't like the sound of that. #RAW pic.twitter.com/CsgyktMvNC

Tag Team Match: Drew McIntyre & Baron Corbin vs. Braun Strowman & Kurt Angle
Corbin & McIntyre take control early as they isolate Angle in their corner and keep him away from his partner, Strowman, as they deliver their assault. McIntyre hits Angle with his own Angle Slam and then slaps on his own Ankle Lock as well, recreating the humiliation Angle had already suffered weeks ago at the hands of the Scottish Psychopath. Finally Angle escapes and tags Strowman, who comes in hot. Strowman batters both McIntyre and Corbin. Suddenly, Corbin and McIntyre manage to throw Strowman to the outside and regain control.
Corbin delivers a beating to Strowman at ringside. Back in the ring and McIntyre and Corbin go for a team-suplex on Strowman but Strowman reverses and double-suplexes them. Strowman tags Angle and Angle delivers a beating to his foes. Angle’s momentum starts to fade and Strowman comes to his rescue. The ref warns Strowman that if he attacks Corbin he’ll be disqualified. Strowman defies this warning and attacks Corbin anyways, resulting in the forewarned DQ.
Winners: Drew McIntyre & Baron Corbin
After the match. McIntyre and Corbin gang up on Strowman but ultimately Strowman hits them both with Chokeslams on the steel steps. Angle and Strowman stand tall in the ring as the show closes.
PAYBACK TONIGHT for @BraunStrowman and @RealKurtAngle…
They may have gotten disqualified, but they stand TALL over @BaronCorbinWWE & @DMcIntyreWWE to close out #RAW! pic.twitter.com/l2EN6YqS2T
