The buildup of the Survivor Series PPV kicked off pretty well with last night’s WWE Raw. The show opened up with Kurt Angle who stood inside the ring to declare that Survivor Series is going to be a PPV where both Raw and Smackdown will collide to reign supreme over one another. The segment received a huge pop from the crowd alongside the Angle announcing AJ Styles still performing on Raw, ever after TLC.
The Phenomenal One competed in a tag team contest alongside Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins against the team of The Miz, Sheamus, and Cesaro. The match was an exciting affair with the three babyface superstars pulling out all the stops to win the contest.
Real fun six man tag to open the show tonight, I could go for these stretched out matches in the first hour more often #RAW

I’m really not sure what the Kane character adds to #WWE television in 2017 #RAW

However, what happened afterwards was even more interesting. Kane appeared to take out all three of them by himself. The Demon delivered a chilly promo against Strowman after taking out him at TLC. Also, he picked up a dominant win against Finn Balor which was unthinkable. At this age, we are not quite sure why the creative team is pushing Kane so much against a man who will carry the brand forward.
Solid promo by Paul Heyman hyping Brock Lesnar vs. Jinder Mahal at #SurvivorSeries, curious to see how this one turns out #RAW

Another interesting thing was Kurt Angle announcing Jinder Mahal vs Brock Lesnar match earlier than the beast accepted the challenge himself. It was quite a weird thing, whereas, the invasion of Smackdown Live on Raw locker room was quite fresh.
Welp, it’s been a while since we’ve seen a good invasion in this company, pretty good execution for #SurvivorSeries in a few weeks #RAW

After a long time on WWE Raw, we have seen an invasion angle, and there’s no denying that the fans love such kind of brawls. It brought a perfect end to the show. Check out the how the WWE Universe reacted to the show:
