In comparison to last few week’s WWE Raw, the latest edition turned out to be quite jam-packed one. The opening segment set the tone to a higher note, as none other than the commissioner, Stephanie McMahon returned to the show after a long time.
Now, we all know that the heel authority figure only cares about what’s best for business. So, she dropped a blockbuster announcement by announcing that Kurt Angle will lead team RAW at the Survivor Series PPV. Also, his job will be on the line at the PPV. It was quite surprising considering that we thought we have to wait until Wrestlemania to watch him in a match, again. The crowd was more than pleased to hear this.
Hell of a way to kick off the show tonight with the return of Stephanie with the big ultimatum for #SurvivorSeries in a few weeks #RAW

Apart from Stephanie, we have witnessed three more returns on WWE Raw. The first among them was Nia Jax who ended the speculations around her of leaving WWE by appearing on the show. Also, Samoa Joe returned after recovering from a knee injury. It will be interesting whether he receives a firm booking, going forward or not.
So despite the Balor confusion, Kane just taking everyone out with Tombstone Piledrivers is surprisingly fun #RAW

Kane’s wrath continues since return. This week, he laid down three elite superstars from WWE Raw, Finn Balor, Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins. It is quite confusing with the creative team pushing the Demon Kane thus much at this juncture, as they are not even thinking twice while burying the prime stars from the show. Also, the anticipated Strowman vs Kane confrontation did not happen, last night.
The audience interaction with Braun Strowman tonight was off the charts great! #RAW

Pretty fun ending to the show including the hilariously over-the-top return of Braun Strowman tonight

To the much delight of the fans, Braun Strowman returned on the show as a babyface. The segment received a huge pop from the crowd, as the monster among men delivered a reckless attack on the Miz-tourage. An interesting character change was done by the creative team, as this face-turned Strowman is likely to set up more fresh matchups on the show going forward.
