Last week, WWE Raw confirmed three names for the traditional tag team elimination match at Survivor Series. There will be three spate matches between the red and blue brand from the men, women and tag team division. The flagship show started filling up the men’s division match’s lineup with some of the mainstay names from the show.

Baron Corbin chose Dolph Ziggler, Drew McIntyre, and Braun Strowman as the first three names in the men’s division match. A match took place between Kurt Angle and Drew McIntyre in the main event of WWE Raw. If Kurt would have won then he would become the team captain for Survivor Series. But Drew McIntyre handed him the most humiliating loss of his career.
So no wonder that Drew McIntyre and Dolph Ziggler came out on last night’s WWE Raw talking about that. But Finn Balor soon interrupted them mentioning the cheap shot taken towards him. We should let you know that Finn Balor also digested a Claymore Kick from Drew McIntyre for doing nothing. So he wanted to take revenge against the Scottish Psychopath. But Ziggler accepted the match, instead.
The match was underway on the show as Ziggler took control of it with a Spike DDT. Distractions from Drew McIntyre allowed the show-off to connect with the Fammesser for a near fall. Finn was still able to set Ziggler up for a Coup De Grace only to get an interruption from McIntyre. Ziggler rolled him up but he re-countered it to get the win.
Stephanie McMahon was quite happy about this win and personally chose him for men’s division Survivor Series team. The fifth spot was only vacant as Bobby Lashley and Elias fought to fill it up. It was an entertaining match as Elias and Lio Rush engaged in a verbal altercation prior to the contest.
Elias managed to take control of the match despite distraction from Lio Rush. He sent Bobby Lashley into the steel steps. But Lashley came back and sent Elias into outside continuing the fight. The referee started the count as Lashley entered the ring. Lio Rush grabbed the legs of Elias prohibiting him from doing so. This earned Bobby Lashley the count-out victory to go into Survivor Series. He became the fifth and final member of WWE Raw.
