RAW


Raw opens with Seth Rollins in the ring to address his situation with Dean Ambrose.


Rollins starts by inviting Baron Corbin to the ring so he can spit some truth, as he put it. The GM says they should have their conversation in private but Seth tells him to cut the crap. He says under Corbin's leadership, Raw has sucked.


Rollins says The Revival has been booked poorly and the comedy segments have been really bad in recent weeks. He also criticizes the choice to give Lesnar the title.


Corbin says Ambrose will beat Rollins for the IC title and he will beat Strowman by forfeit in their TLC match to become the new permanent GM. He says he is going to put Rollins through hell until he quits. Rollins challenges him to a TLC match for tonight. Corbin agrees and books it for the IC Title.


AOP (c) & Drake Maverick vs. Bobby Roode and Chad Gable in a 3 on 2 Handicap Match for the RAW Tag Team Titles

Bobby Roode and Chad Gable won and are the NEW Tag Team Champions.


Gable and Roode give an interview backstage and talk about all the hard work it took for them to win the titles. 


Back in the ring, Natalya is ready to talk about her upcoming Tables match with Ruby Riott.

Natalya says Ruby doesn't respect the wrestling business and talks about everything it took for her to get to where she is today. She dedicates her match on Sunday to Jim Neidhart and promises to put Riott through a table. That is when The Riott Squad comes out on the stage with a special table covered in a black sheet.

Riott says Natalya brings disgrace to the Hart family name. She reveals a table with a big picture of Jim Neidhart on it. She says she is going to put Natalya through this exact table so she can be close to her daddy. The crowd boos Riott as she laughs at a crying Natalya.



Drew McIntyre vs. Dolph Ziggler

Drew McIntyre won


Drew McIntyre attacks Dolph Ziggler after the match.




Bayley vs. Alicia Fox

The Singh Brothers provide a distraction and Foxy hits a running boot. This brings out Apollo Crews to take out Sunil and Samir with Sasha Banks. Crews takes down Mahal before he picks up Banks and throws her at all three men. Bayley hits the Bayley to Belly for the pin and the win.



Backstage, Ambrose tells Charly to never call him the “Lunatic Fringe” ever again. Rollins has lost it and is clearly been consumed by his ego. Rollins is no architect. Ambrose almost calls Rollins a piece of you know what but he stops short. Charly asks Ambrose how he thinks Roman Reigns would react to what is happening between Ambrose and Rollins. Ambrose pauses and says “who cares?” Charly shows Ambrose footage from the night of Reigns’ announcement and then it leads up to everything that created this feud. 



Elias vs. Lio Rush 

First match with Heath Slater as the referee.

Lashley attacks Elias and Slater gets between them. Lashley threatens Slater and tells him not to rule this a DQ. Rush grabs Elias' guitar and gives it to Lashley. Lashley smashes it across the back of Elias before Rush covers him. Slater hesitantly makes the count and declares Rush the winner.



Nia Jax and Tamina head to the ring before Alexa Bliss has time to introduce them. Jax gives a promo about how she is going to break Rousey's face at TLC.

Ronda Rousey runs down to the ring but Jax and Tamina run away. Ember Moon comes out to even the odds before the break.


Ember Moon vs. Tamina Snuka

Ember Moon won



Seth Rollins (c) vs. Baron Corbin in a TLC Match for the ICTitle w/ Heath Slater as the referee.


Seth Rollins won and retains the ICTitle even with some involvement from Heath to try and get Corbin to win and Seth kicking Heath as he was trying to explain his actions but we know it is Corbin controlling him or threatening him that he'll lose his job if he doesn't do as ask.
Raw ends with Rollins standing tall while Dean Ambrose comes out on the stage. The former Shield brothers stare each other down as the show goes off air.
Rating 70/70: It was a better show tonight then it has been and it had some great segments and matches as we look to WWE TLC.
