Raw Deal - Raw recap for February 4, 2019

Stephanie McMahon welcomes everyone to tonight's show, then Becky Lynch shows up. Becky is seen sporting a brace on her left knee as she approaches the ring. After a replay of Becky's meeting with "Rowdy" Ronda Rousey from last week, Becky says she has a lot of reasons to be smiling after the past few weeks, then says she is fine when asked about the knee brace. Stephanie mentions that Becky has refused medical help since Royal Rumble, and Becky says that no doctors are coming near her. Stephanie admits Becky is tough, but she cannot let her physically compete if she is not cleared by medical staff. Becky tells Stephanie that she is the glitch in her plan and the one thing she didn't plan for, but here she is. She says that Stephanie knows nothing of struggle and is just another "daddy's girl" who is trying to stop her from fighting for everything. She says she rose up and earned her way, and nobody will stop her. Stephanie tells Becky that this can be a liability, and all she has to do is see the doctor to get cleared unless the knee is worse than she is letting on. She tells Becky that everyone wants to see her beat Ronda, but she has to get cleared. Becky tells Stephanie she will not take her moment from her, but Stephanie says she will suspended until she sees the doctor. Becky tells Stephanie she will not be responsible for what happens if she suspends her, but Stephanie suspends her anyway. This leads to Becky attacking Stephanie, but her knee gives out on the Dis-Arm-Her. Officials and security try to grab hold of Becky, but Becky manages to escape them and get after Stephanie again. This stops when Becky's knee gives out on her again.

Backstage, Becky Lynch is met by "Rowdy" Ronda Rousey, who tells her that she tests the limit of her professionalism every time they meet, and tells her that beating Stephanie McMahon up and getting suspended did nothing and was unprofessional. She tells her to rest up until WrestleMania, when she can finally take her beating. After that, Becky is escorted out of the arena.

"Rowdy" Ronda Rousey beats Liv Morgan with an arm bar. After the match, Ronda takes the microphone and asks who else has a problem with her. Sarah Logan gets in the ring with Ronda, starting another match.

"Rowdy" Ronda Rousey beats Sarah Logan with an arm bar. After the match, Ruby Riott gets on the apron, but soon backs off. Backstage, Dasha Fuentes interviews Ruby Riott, who says she did not run away and that she will beat Ronda Rousey. Right now, Liv Morgan and Sarah Logan need her and there is a bond between The Riott Squad that Ronda knows nothing about, and Ronda can wait.

Backstage, Charly Caruso interviews Sasha Banks and Bayley. Bayley says that all that matters is that they both pushed "Rowdy" Ronda Rousey to their limits individually, but tonight, they are the best and tonight is about teams. After Sasha Banks says that they will be making history again, Alicia Fox tells them that they won't make it, and Nikki Cross tells them that not only did Alicia Fox want to play, but that chaos is fair.

The Revival (Scott Dawson and Dash Wilder) beat The B-Team (Bo Dallas and Curtis Axel), Heavy Machinery (Tucker Knight and Otis Dozovic) and The Lucha House Party (Kalisto and Gran Metalik) in a Four Corners Tag Team Match to earn a shot at the WWE Raw Tag Team Championships.

Backstage, Curt Hawkins tells Zack Ryder that they will not work out as a team, as he has lost 250 matches over more than two years, then Zack mentions his name being spelled on television with an H inadvertently last week. Zack says he is a loser just like Hawkins and cannot be brought any lower, but they were signed together and were tag team champions together, and he plans to end his losing streak together.

Kurt Angle shakes hands with Mickie James and Apollo Crews backstage on the way to the ring.

Kurt Angle shows up. He mentions the 3 I's, and says he has lived his life through them for the past 20 years and accomplished everything he ever wanted to accomplished, from the WWF European Championship to the WWE Hall of Fame. However, the 3 I's became the 3 D's - doubt, defeat and depression - and his last few matches have not went his way. He wanted to prove he still had it and shut the critics up for good. In his career, he beat them all and won the Olympics with a "broken freakin' neck." However, there is one opponent he cannot beat: Father Time. Suddenly, Baron Corbin shows up. He mocks Angle, saying that he is fishing for sympathy and that he brought it on himself, and that Angle is now a broken-down shadow of a man. Angle reminds Corbin he can break his ankle in two, and dares Corbin to come to the ring so he can show him. Suddenly, Drew McIntyre shows up. McIntyre tells Angle he just cannot help himself, as one minute he has accepted his fate and two minute later he threatens to break the ankle of the man who took his job and recently beat him last week. He says that people used to look in Angle's eyes and see a warrior, but in his recent match with him, all he saw was fear when he made him tap to his own ankle lock, and says that Angle will keep showing up until someone does something drastic. Drew tells the fans to get their cameras ready, for this is the last time Angle will be in a WWE ring when he and Corbin put him out for good. Corbin and McIntyre surround the ring, but Braun Strowman suddenly shows up. Strowman fights McIntyre on the outside while Angle gets the upper hand on Corbin in the ring. McIntyre then throws a chair at Corbin, and Corbin and McIntyre retreat through the crowd.

WWE celebrates Black History Month and looks back on WWE's tour of the National Civil Rights Museum in Memphis, Tennessee from last year.

Braun Strowman and Kurt Angle vs. Drew McIntyre and Baron Corbin is made official for later tonight.

We see a video package of Seth Rollins' road to WrestleMania thus far.

Before the next match, Alicia Fox and Nikki Cross drag Sasha Banks and Bayley onto the stage as they attack them. This quickly turns into a brawl between both teams on the stage which is stopped by referees.

Sasha Banks and Bayley beat Alicia Fox and Nikki Cross to qualify for the Elimination Chamber match for the WWE Women's Tag Team Championships.

Backstage, Charly Caruso interviews Apollo Crews, who says he is glad Kurt Angle is competing, despite the fact that he has not had a good couple of matches. Akam and Drake Maverick show up and say Angle has no chance, and Apollo acts like Maverick is Akam's puppet.

Before the next match, "Road Dogg" Jesse James shows up and introduces Jeff Jarrett, then they go back to where they left off from last week and sing "With My Baby Tonight."

Elias shows up and says that Jarrett and Road Dogg's song has not aged well, and says he would watch Adam Levine do another halftime performance than watch them. He says that he mistakenly turned down the Super Bowl halftime show to come to Portland, Oregon - which is not important enough to have its own football team - and says he has been reminded of how ungrateful the fans have become. He says he is not doing a show tonight in Portland, Oregon, and tells Jarrett and Road Dogg that their nostalgia act will not change the truth that WWE stands for "Walk With Elias." Jarrett then quotes Razor Ramon, telling him "Hey, chico...don't sing it, bring it."

Elias beats Jeff Jarrett. (The match is Jarrett's first match on Raw in almost 20 years.) After the match, "Road Dogg" Jesse James fights Elias and lands his trademark jabs, then Jarrett hits Elias in the back with a guitar.

Backstage, Natalya is met by Dana Brooke, who apologizes for last week only to get the silent treatment. She threatens to make a match against her for next week, then leaves. It is revealed that Natalya is not listening to her because she is wearing airpods.

In three weeks: "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair's 70th birthday celebration!

Backstage, Charly Caruso interviews Finn Balor. He says the Irish are stubborn while wounded, and while he is hurt after what has gone on as of late, he is still standing and will not be pushed around or held down. He says he will take the fight to Bobby Lashley like he did Brock Lesnar, and at the first opportunity he gets, he will take the Intercontinental Championship, too.

Before the next match, Lio Rush says that Finn Balor looks like a mummy and has no chance against Bobby Lashley, saying this is "Mouse vs. Mack Truck," not David vs. Goliath. He says that Lashley can curl dumbbells heavier than Lashley. Lashley says that Finn couldn't beat Brock Lesnar, then says he is better than Lesnar and that he can beat him anywhere and that Finn Balor does not deserve to be in the ring with him. He tells Finn that he should fight people his own size, then tells him he will be facing Lio Rush, not him. Lashley then says that if Finn Balor entertains him enough, he may give him the title shot he wants. Lashley then suddenly hits Finn Balor with cheap shots before the bell rings.

Finn Balor beats Lio Rush. During the match, Lashley is ejected from ringside after getting involved one too many times. After the match, Finn Balor gets out of the ring when Lashley shows back up.

Paige shows up. She announces the theatrical release of her biographical film Fighting With My Family, then a trailer for the film is shown.

It's time for A Moment Of Bliss. Tonight's guest is EC3. Before EC3 can answer the quest of whether or not he will be on Raw or SmackDown Live, Nia Jax and Tamina interrupt, with Nia Jax saying that nobody cares. She says that nobody wants to see "this nauseating blind date thing" before talking about entering the men's Royal Rumble match and her and Tamina qualifying for their Elimination Chamber match. Nia says that this is her moment, and says that she might fill in for Becky Lynch at WrestleMania. Before she can say more, Dean Ambrose shows up. Ambrose says it is clear that Nia Jax has a huge crush on him, and tells her to stay away from him and never come near him again. EC3 is about so say something when Dean knocks the microphone out of his hands and refuses to let him speak when he answers question. When asked why he is being a mute Chippendale dancer and not getting in the ring, EC3 punches Dean Ambrose in the face.

EC3 beats Dean Ambrose in his Raw debut with a surprise jackknife pin.

Backstage, Charly Caruso interviews Kurt Angle. He did not expect to compete tonight, but something inside told him to bring it. Thankfully, he is not in this alone. Braun Strowman shows up. He says Strowman has never met a port-a-potty, limousine, ambulance or disrespectful Superstar he didn't want to destroy, and is glad Strowman is on his side. Strowman says it is an honor, and tonight, Drew McIntyre and Baron Corbin will get these hands.

Backstage, we see Mojo Rawley talking to himself in a mirror again, saying that being a team player has not worked for him at all and that now, it is all about him.

Drew McIntyre and Baron Corbin beat Kurt Angle and Braun Strowman by disqualification after striking Corbin while not the legal man. After the match, McIntyre and Corbin send Strowman over the barricade, then throw Angle into the steel steps. They are about to choke slam Angle into the steps when Strowman returns and does the same to Corbin and McIntyre.

Here are the top 10 moments from tonight's show!
