RAW

Raw opens with a recap of SmackDown putting Raw under siege last week.
Kurt Angle opens the show in the ring with the entire roster on the stage. He apologizes to the roster for letting his friendship with Shane blind him to SmackDown's intentions. He takes responsibility for putting them in harm's way and promises to never do it again. Before he can continue, Stephanie McMahon's music hits and she comes out to the ring.

Stephanie hypes the 25th anniversary of Raw in January. She says Angle has been doing a great job as GM while listing off some of the things she blames him for. She says Angle earned her respect, but then he allowed Shane to invade his show. Stephanie talks about how Shane has tried to pick on her their whole lives and says Shane disrespected her, and it's Angle's fault.


Stephanie names Angle as the Raw team captain at Survivor Series and says she expects results or she will be looking for a new GM. She heads to the back, leaving Kurt looking despondant in the ring

Angle is shown backstage showing Stephanie to her limo. As it leaves, another one pulls up and The Miz gets out of it.
