Opening

Goldberg came to the ring to announce it was only three weeks until the Survivor Series. He was interrupted by Paul Heyman. Heyman gets in the ring and says that Lesnar was ready to fight tonight. He introduced Lesnar, but it was just a ruse as Lesnar was not in the building. Heyman pointed to Goldberg's son and the disappointment on his face and said everyone will be disappointed at the Survivor Series.

Heyman noticed Goldberg was getting pissed and tried backing off. Rusev then came to the ring to help Heyman. Rusev tries to intimidate Goldberg, asking him who he thinks he is. He claimed that Goldberg doesn't have it anymore. He punched Goldberg with practically no effect. He then punched again but Goldberg blocked it. Goldberg delivered some very awkward knees to Rusev and nails Rusev with a jackhammer. Goldberg then speared Paul Heyman.

Trick or Street Fight: Luke Gallows vs. Enzo Amore

Enzo defeated Gallows by pinfall. This match had some Halloween decoration and gimmicks around the ring that were used during the match.

An ambulance was shown, supposedly taking Heyman to the hospital.

WWE RAW Cruiserweight Title Match: TJ Perkins vs. Brian Kendrick

Kendrick got himself counted out deliberately to retain the title.

Backstage

Braun Strowman demanded Mick Foley put him in the Raw vs Smackdown Live Survivor Series match. Foley told Strowman there would be a battle royal tonight in which the winner would be put in the match.

Mick Foley Survivor Series Address

Foley came out to make his team for the Raw vs Smackdown Live match. Jericho and Owens came out to the ring after Foley mentioned he was ashamed of their actions the previous night. He said that Stephanie McMahon wanted Owens in the match but wanted to suspend Jericho. Foley said he begged her not to suspend Jericho and he put both Kevin Owens and Jericho in the match. Foley said he needed someone he could trust in the match and he introduced Roman Reigns as that man.

Foley made Jericho vs Roman for the US Championship the main event of the night.

Battle Royal for a Team RAW Spot: Sami Zayn, Braun Strowman, Goldust, R-Truth, Curtis Axel, Darren Young, Titus O'Neil, Bo Dallas, Neville, Jinder Mahal, Cesaro, Sheamus

Braun Strowman eliminated Sami Zayn to move on to the Raw vs Smackdown Live Survivor Series match.

Lince Dorado, Rich Swann and Cedric Alexander vs. Tony Nese, Ariya Daivari and Drew Gulak

Rich Swann, Cedric Alexander and Lince Dorado won the match by pinfall.

Charlotte Promo


Charlotte celebrated winning her women's championship. She also said Foley made her the captain of the Raw vs Smackdown Women's match at the Survivor Series. Charlotte mentioned putting Bayley on the team and Bayley came to the ring. Although Bayley congratulates Charlotte and praises her, Charlotte calls her the weak link of the team. She then puts her in a match against Nia Jax.

Nia Jax vs Bayley


Nia Jax defeated Bayley by pinfall.

Sheamus and Cesaro vs the Shining Stars

Sheamus and Cesaro won by submission.

United States Title Match Chris Jericho vs Roman Reigns

Roman Reigns retained his United States Title by DQ when Kevin Owens interfered. After the match, Owens and Jericho continued to beat down Roman. Seth Rollins came out to make the save and then he and Roman stared each other down as the show ended.

~ Great...Heyman & Glodberg...I don't care...wait...why is Rusev here? Why is he being "fed' to Glodberg?

~ I wonder how long Enzo & Cass are going to fight Gallows & Anderson for? Can some other teams get a look in?

~ Great...with Heyman at the hospital I won't have to listen to him talk.

~ TJ Nintendo vs. Eva Marie's Personal Trainer...again...Give someone else a go!

~ Stump BeefKnob wants on the RAW team for Survivor Series...Yeah...I think your still a bit green Trunk SlamChest.

~ You know whats funny? Out of Owens, Jericho and Reigns...the most over right now...is a piece of paper.

~ Its great to see more of RAW roster get some screen time...Hey Neville is here! Awesome! Oh...Bye Neville.

~ So...Gristle McThornBody is actually going to be on the RAW team? SmackDown is so going to win...

~ WWE...please stop putting all the other Cruiserweights in 6 man tag matches...Just stop it already!

~ All Hail Queen Charlotte!!! She should have that entrance every week. Oh...and look Charlotte is
wearing the Championship around her waist...I like that.

Charlotte is the team captain for RAW...as she should be. Okay...so now we are building to a Charlottle/Bayley feud? What about Sasha? Why isn't she allowed to win at Pay Per Views?
Is Sasha really in the hospital? I hope not.

Wait...why do I care about Sasha? I need to regain my focus and keep up the Charlotte worship...

Dana_Brooke_Charlotte_Smackdown.jpg


Yep...focus regained...moving on.

Charlotte...I love you...but Bayley would be a much better team member than Dana Brooke...Hell...Alicia Fox would be a better team member than Dana Brooke. Now I will give Dana credit...she does have a pretty impressive set of b...biceps...Yes...biceps...I was always going to type biceps.

BOOBS!

Wait...Where is Alicia Fox anyway? And where is Emma?

~ So...Bayley gets fed to Nia Jax...that seems a bit rough...but may-be Bayley shouldn't have
called Charlotte a jerk. Yay! Charlotte is on commentary...Shame Michael Cole and Byron Saxton
are as well. Corey Graves is so lucky...Charlotte called him Pumpkin.

~ WWE...the RAW women's division is looking a little thin...may-be you could bring Emma back...I'm pretty sure she is ready to go. I mean she could have come back last night and added some excitement to the Bayley/Dana match...Just saying.

~ So...we are still doing the Cesaro/Sheamus tag team thing? Okay...I continue not to care.

~ So...I guess next week's main event will be Jericho & Owens vs. Reigns & Rollins? Yay? Wait...what about Rusev? Is he just going to let Reigns keep the U.S Title now? Why can't Rusev be on team RAW instead of Punch SideIron? Why is Cesaro being wasted in a tag team with an Irish Pratt? and WHERE THE F*CK IS EMMA?! AND WHY...WHY...

*Screams*

Its okay...Calm down...Calm down...I'll go to my happy place...I'm going to my happy place...
Its going to be okay...

*Closes Eyes*

Okay...I'm in the SmackDown Live locker room...and look...there's Alexa Bliss...
What's that Alexa...you need my help squeezing into those tiny pants you wear...
Sure...I can help with that...

And it just goes on from there...you get the idea.

Literally finished watching RAW moments ago and being that I got some plans for later on (good Champions League games soon), I figured I'd share my quick thoughts for the show, which I gavea 6/10.

- No matter how many years go by, no matter how many times I've seen it, I'll always get the chills when it comes to the entrances of Goldberg and The Undertaker...

- Speaking of Goldberg, it was rather obvious that Heymann showed up to make up for last week's debacle and, well, at least this time things turned out a lot better. Interesting choice of Rusev being the one to come out as part of this segment and perhaps I may be reading way too much into this but would it be possible that WWE may have an idea of Goldberg vs. Rusev down the road? Granted, Goldberg clearly stated that Lesnar is next and most imporantly last but who's to say that Goldberg can't be convinced if his match with Lesnar goes well. It's probably a long shot, I know, but boy, it could do wonders for Rusev...

- Got to be honest, RAW teams are really shaping up nicely and speaking of, hurray, Nia Jax !!!

- Nice little ending with the Rollins and Reigns stair down and the Shield chants surrounding it...

- Well played once again Brian Kendrick. Tip of the cap to both him and TJ for that amazing spot...

- So for weeks now and after months of disasterous booking, WWE have tried to convince us that Anderson and Gallows are a force to be reckoned with, a badass team that has put the division on notice. Meanwhile, I've been like a broken record stating how "too little, too late" this is when the damage has already happened. Anyway, it appears that WWE are trying to reestablish Anderson and Gallows and eventually, they got a big win last night on HIAC. Again, too little, too late but ok, the right team won so let's keep this going, right? Well, WRONG because what does WWE decide to do the very next night? Well, you saw it...And we are supposed to take these guys serious? Yeah, awesome booking WWE, really awesome booking, as if you didn't have any other jobber tag team available for Enzo and Cass to make this comedy/gimmick matche and then have Anderson with Gallows come out and spoil the party afterwards??? It not fucking rocket science, yet these people in creative actually get paid for this bullshit....

- Everything else...meh

Eh, the show was OK, I guess. 5/10

JeriKO were great, especially Y2J.

Enzo & Cass' pre-match promo was hilarious.

Kendrick's pre-match promo was good.

This was so sick:

I'm glad TJP is okay and didn't break his freakin' neck!

The Battle Royal was amusing enough.

The Cruiserweight 6-man tag was solid given the time constraint.

The ME was solid and loved the post-match happenings with Rollins coming into Roman's aid and the stare down afterwards.

Everything else pretty much sucked or is not worth talking about.

I was apprehensive about Goldberg coming back because the matches from returning guys are usually pretty lame. Vince seems to just use them to beef up the up-and-coming (case in point, the retirement of the Dudley Boys). I'm glad that Goldberg gets to show his family what he used to be all about. I think that was the point of this whole thing. And he looks in better shape than I was expecting, especially since he was covered up when he first came back.
