It was the go-home episode of WWE Raw for the Survivor Series. The hype-ups around last night’s show were quite bigger considering that Roman Reigns and Brock Lesnar were scheduled to return.
Plus, a shocking return of Triple H changed the landscape for Survivor Series PPV. Check out how all of those went down at the Phillips Arena in Atlanta, Georgia.
Stephanie McMahon kicked off last night’s WWE Raw addressing Kurt Angle and his stupid decisions taken, last week. While John Cena was introduced on team Smackdown as the fifth member, the Raw GM chose his son, Jason Jordan who has no achievements in the company, till date.
Also, last week, The New Day invaded WWE Raw for the second time which was not acceptable. Stephanie was about to fire Kurt over these actions when The Shield’s music hit the arena, and they showed up to save his job. Upon their arrival, the match between The Shield and The New Day at the Survivor Series PPV got announced.
In the triple threat match to determine the final member of the Raw women’s team, Mickie James, Bayley, and Dana Brooke competed in the opening contest. In a boring fest, Bayley delivered the Bayley to belly to Mickie to get the pinfall win and earn the spot.
Kurt Angle announced two separate matches at the backstage area. In the first match, Finn Balor and Samoa Joe defeated Anderson & Gallows, quite easily. In the other matchup, Jason Jordan defeated Bray Wyatt via a roll up. But, Wyatt attacked Jordan after the match to make him injured.
Brock Lesnar was present on the show with his client, Paul Heyman to give the credits to AJ Styles for being a tough competitor. But, at Survivor Series he will be victimized by the Universal Champion. With this saying, the segment was finished, as AJ Styles did not show up on WWE Raw.
Over the concern for his son’s health, Kurt Angle was forced to remove Jordan as the fifth member of Team Raw. The former tag champ begged his father not to do so. Stephanie was about to make an announcement when Triple H’s music hit the arena. He came out in a huge reaction to declare himself as the final member from Raw. He ended the segment by delivering a pedigree on Jordan.
The Shield featured in a match against the Miz, Sheamus, and Cesaro. Before the match, The Miz went bad mouth against the Hounds of Justice on Miz TV and paid for it. After Ambrose and Rollins neutralised Sheamus and Cesaro, Miz was delivered a brutal spear and a Shield powerbomb to end the match.
In the main event of WWE Raw, Kane and Braun Strowman squared off in a match which was supposed to be earth-shattering. But, the two giants started fighting each other even before the bell rang. The match never officially began, as Strowman put Kane through the mat via a running powerslam to end the show.
