RAW

Raw opens with Baron Corbin introducing Stephanie McMahon and bragging about Raw winning Survivor Series.

Corbin asks Stephanie if he can be the permanent GM since Raw won at Survivor Series, but before she can answer, Braun Strowman's music hits and he comes out. Steph also promised him a match against Corbin if Raw won, so he is here to collect.

Stephanie says Corbin will face Strowman at TLC, and if he wins, he becomes the permanent GM. If he loses, he is no longer acting GM. Braun reminds us that he gets to pick the stipulation. He also asks about his title match and Steph says he will get it at The Royal Rumble, but only if he beats Corbin at TLC. She goads Braun into agreeing to her terms. Strowman picks the TLC stipulation. The Lone Wolf decides to book Strowman in a handicap match against Lashley and McIntyre. Stephanie says she has an even better idea and makes it a six-man match with Lashley, Corbin, and McIntyre facing Braun, Elias and Finn Balor, and she says it will start right now.

Braun Strowman and Elias and Finn Balor vs. Baron Corbin and Drew McIntyre and Bobby Lashley in an Elimination Match

McIntyre hits him with a chair to break up the pin, getting himself disqualified in the process. He keeps destroying Strowman with the chair after the ref tells him to leave. Lashley hits another Spear on the floor. Drew and Bobby continue decimating Braun while the ref fails to gain control of the situation. This assault goes on for a while.

Corbin grabs the steel steps and uses them to crush Braun's hand while Lashley and McIntyre hold it in place. The heels leave while several officials and doctors tend to Strowman.

A recap of Dean Ambrose’s promo where he burnt his Shield vest from last week follows, and commentary informs us that Seth Rollins will be up next.

Rollins comes out after the break and talks about how it has been six years since The Shield debuted at Survivor Series and recalls how dominant they were as a group. He says he thought he knew Ambrose but he has learned more about him in the past few weeks than he did over the past six years. He claims Dean never picked up the phone while he was out with an injury.

Rollins calls Ambrose out for a fight, but Dean appears on the big screen instead. He says he won't give Rollins what he wants because things have changed. Ambrose says nobody knows how they were behind the scenes and they are going to get what they deserve one way or another. He even tries to claim Reigns got sick again because of what he has done. He dares Seth to come and find him backstage ad Rollins immediately starts running to the back.

Rollins demands to know were Ambrose is from some security guards and he ends up getting into a fight. He runs off before anyone can reprimand him.

Rollins is shown looking for Ambrose but not finding him backstage but finds a message on the back of a door that says “Burn It Down” instead.

Ronda Rousey heads to the ring to talk about her match against Charlotte. Rousey lets the crowd finish its Becky Lynch chant before speaking about her upcoming match against Nia Jax at TLC. She vows to find and finish Charlotte Flair after what happened last night. She gives a passionate promo about what it means to be a champion. Ronda demands a title match right now and says if she can't defend the belt on her worst night, she doesn't deserve to hold it. This brings out Baron Corbin to rain on her parade. Rousey tells him to go backstage and find a challenger for her title or she will beat him up. He finally agreed but warns her that whoever he finds will likely beat her after the break.
