(Segment 1) Tag Team Battle Royal: The winning tag team will be captain of the Survivor Series Team representing Raw for when the Raw tag teams face the Smackdown Live Tag Teams. It did not take long for Braun Strowman to come out and take out every tag team. Braun then got a chair and sat in the ring, he said he was not leaving the ring until Baron Corbin ‘got these hands’. Stephanie McMahon then came out to get Braun moving. Steph says that Braun will get Corbin soon enough and says he cannot touch Baron until they have a match. Ronda Rousey then came out and said she cannot wait to face Becky, then says she might not have to wait to break someone’s arm…Ronda then turned to Steph. Corbin came out and broke that up. Ronda tossed Corbin and then left the ring. Corbin turned around and came face to face with Braun. Steph emphasized that they cannot touch each other. This was a good opening segment but I did not like them killing the tag division though.
(Segment 2) Tamina vs Ember Moon: This was a pretty quick and dominating match for Tamina as she beat Moon. It looks like Ember will have to find backup in her feud with Tamina and Nia Jax.
(Segment 3) Seth Rollins Interview With Corey Graves: Graves mainly talked about Rollins’ match with Nakamura at Survivor Series. They then moved into Seth’s feud with Dean and the detail of it. Dean then came on the big screen and broke his silence. Dean then burned his Shield vest in a garbage can fire. It was a pretty good promo, but kind of weird because Ambrose was sitting on a red car outside the arena next to a garbage can fire.
(Segment 4) Dolph Ziggler and Drew McIntyre Promo: Drew cut a great promo in the ring and really helped him character wise. McIntyre says that Raw is his show and he has taken over. I am waiting for Dolph to turn on Drew and say Drew is too cocky/that he is better. Finn Balor then came out and challenged Drew to a match. Drew then said Finn will face Dolph instead of him. Drew then headbutted Balor and knocked him, that sent them to commercial. When they came back from commercial with Ziggler vs Balor.
(Segment 5) Finn Balor vs Dolph Ziggler: We never see these two face each other so I was happy to see this match up. Balor picked up a roll up win and a big win. This was a good match between these two, I would like to see more from these. After the match Steph told Finn he impressed her and that he is added to Team Raw at Survivor Series.
(Segment 6) Ruby Riott vs Natalya: This match never got started as the Riott Squad attacked Natalya.
(Segment 7) Tag Team Battle Royal ‘Take 2’: This is a retake of the battle royal that started the night that ended with Braun taking everyone out. The winning team of this battle royal will be the Team Captains of the tag teams for Team Raw at Survivor Series. Bobby Roode and Chad Gable won this.
(Segment 8) Brock Lesnar Live: Heyman did the talking per usual and did some good work per usual. Jinder Mahal came out with the Singh Brothers. Brock ended up destroying all three of them.
(Segment 9) Elias vs Bobby Lashley: The winner of this match will be the last member of Team Raw at Survivor Series. Bobby won via countout after Lio Rush held Elias’ leg and prevented him from getting in the ring. Lashley will join Team Raw on Sunday.
(Segment 10) Alexa Bliss Reveals Team Raw (Women’s): Alexa announced that Bayley and Sasha would face each other for the last spot on Sunday at Survivor Series. Tamina, Nia, and Mickie attacked both of the women and it ended in DQ. This caused Alexa to name Ruby Riott as the last member of Team Raw. After this the entire Smackdown Live women’s roster came and attacked the Raw women’s roster.
Overall Raw Grade: C
