The Mix brings you Ringside Intel’s recap and results for tonight’s WWE Monday Night Raw (5/6/2019) broadcast. Show starts at 8 pm EST. Roman Reigns will defy management with a jaw-dropping announcement. Tweet and follow @RingsideIntel on Twitter.
Monday Night Raw: 8 pm EST
Show opens up and Vince McMahon, Roman Reigns, Daniel Bryan and WWE Champion Kofi Kingston come out to the ring. In response to why Reigns, a Smackdown star, is on Raw, Reigns indicates that he goes wherever he wants. Kofi says he didn’t want Reigns to have all the fun so he decided to come to Raw as well. Bryan just wants another title shot against Kofi, who he says is an undeserving champion. Vince’s solution to this cross brand jumping is a “wild card” rule. Drew McIntyre comes out and is upset about Smackdown coming in there and trying to take over Raw.
Here comes one man who is NOT happy to see @WWERomanReigns back on #RAW…

Vince has an idea. Two WrestleMania rematches. Reigns vs. McIntyre and Bryan vs. Kofi for the WWE Championship. But then AJ Styles comes out.
Not one, but TWO #WrestleMania rematches TONIGHT?! @VinceMcMahon IS brilliant.

As if this start couldn't get any more PHENOMENAL…
What will @AJStylesOrg have to say NEXT on #RAW?! pic.twitter.com/BgUQcPOlyg

Styles points out how weird it is that Vince has Smackdown stars here on Raw, when he just got to Raw after being on Smackdown for so long. Styles says if there is going to be a wild card rule maybe he’ll go over to Smackdown tomorrow. Universal Champion Seth Rollins comes out and starts talking trash at Styles. The two go back and forth. Styles says he tried to shake Rollins’ hand last week and he threw it back in his face. Styles didn’t like how Rollins treated him like he wasn’t a man. But he’s a man that can kick Rollins’ ass, Styles says.
Rollins and Styles want to throw down tonight but Vince has a different idea. He wants the two of them to team up together tonight in tag team action. Rollins and Styles are livid over it but Vince doesn’t care. It’s going to be a great night, he says.
#MITB ALMOST arrived early…
Instead, @WWERollins & @AJStylesOrg will be forced to TEAM UP against a tag team of @VinceMcMahon's choosing NEXT! #RAW pic.twitter.com/hn1t1rkwS3

Sami Zayn comes out and starts cutting a promo insulting all the fans. Braun Strowman’s music hits and he ends up chasing Zayn through the crowd and the backstage area. Strowman dumps Zayn into a dumpster, and then a garbage truck comes and empties the bin into it. Strowman laughs at his handiwork.
"YOU'RE ALL COWARDS."

Winner: Lacey Evans

Evans cuts a promo on the four women at ringside, telling them she just wanted them to witness how a real lady competes. And when she beats Becky “Two Belts”, whomsoever cashes in the Money In The Bank contract on her will pay dearly for their hubris. Becky Lynch’s music hits and she runs out to the ring and the two women brawl. Evans ends up retreating, as Becky stands tall in the ring.
.@BeckyLynchWWE has heard ENOUGH from @LaceyEvansWWE and runs to the ring to lay WASTE to the Sassy Southern Belle on #Raw! pic.twitter.com/61nxQuTRvD
