RAW

Raw opens with a recap of Kane vs. Braun Strowman from last week's show. 

Kurt Angle comes out to open the show in the ring. He hypes an appearance from Brock Lesnar tonight. Before he can continue, Strowman's music hits and he marches his way to the ring. He says he earned the right to face Lesnar when he was the only one standing at the end of last week's show. 

Angle announces all three men will fight in a Triple Threat at the Rumble and then runs away from the situation. Lesnar and Kane take out Strowman before Brock hits Kane with an F5. The champ grabs his belt and leaves with his advocate while Braun stares a hole through him from the other side of the ring. Kane sits up in the ring and Lesnar looks a little surprised.

Jason Jordan comes out instead of Samoa Joe and he says he wants to face Samoa Joe first. He tells Rollins he has nothing but respect for him, but he has to wait in line. Seth tries to say something, but he is interrupted by Samoa Joe.

Joe suggests Rollins and Jordan fight to see who gets to face him. Seth says he already has a match booked with Joe, so JJ can go look for his daddy's approval somewhere else. Jordan shoves Rollins down.

Jax singlehandedly disposes of all three women. She lifts Rose and Deville up at the same time for a Samoan drop and makes it look easy. Paige clips Nia's knee and kicks her in the face. Absolution gangs up on her until the entire women's division comes out and beats up the trio.
Stephanie's music hits and everyone stops fighting. She comes to the ring and talks about the women's revolution starting on Raw three years ago. She gives all the women in the ring props for taking the women's revolution to the next level and breaking new ground with several first-time matches. She says it's time make history one more time.
Stephanie announced the first Women's Royal Rumble match to take place next year. 

The show ends with the crowd and the women in the ring cheering and celebrating the news. We all knew this was happening but it’s AWESOME that it’s really happening.
The Womens Division is on fire. They keep making history. Couldn’t be more proud with how much Women’s Wrestling has changed. 

Rating: 80/80
