Raw
November 18th
Boston, Massachusetts:
-------------------------------------------------------------
*WEEKEND ROCKSTAR*
Michael Cole: It's Monday Night and you know what that means. Welcome to the final Monday Night Raw before Survivor Series.
Big Show: And we are starting this week's show off with a bang!
Michael Cole: Correct Big Show, we are starting the show off with a Cruiserweight title match as Mustafa Ali takes on Noam Dar in a two out of three falls match.
Big Show: I'm also being told that we will be staying with this match until it finishes so there will be no ad-breaks during it!
Noam Dar meanwhile smirks as he gets into the ring and taunts the crowd as he chews his gum, swaggering around the ring like Billy big bollocks.
*GO HARD*
A loud pop from the crowd as Mustafa Ali makes his way out. He takes a moment to pose at the top of the entrance ramp as he lifts his Cruiserweight title into the air soaking in the cheers from the crowd before walking down to the ring.
Michael Cole: Mustafa Ali came close on several occasions to becoming a champion. At Armageddon, he finally became Champion taking the title off Noam Dar. Can he keep hold of it tonight?
Big Show: We know how fired up Mustafa Ali is up tonight. Do you think the injury to his right leg caused by Noam Dar a few weeks ago is stopping him from sprinting to the ring?
Michael Cole: That might be the case Big Show and it makes me wonder if it was a good idea for Mustafa Ali to challenge Noam Dar to such a grueling match.
Back in the ring the champion is now inside and getting a great reaction from the live crowd as the usual pre-match title introductions are done. Once they are finished the referee calls for the bell and this match is underway!
Match 1: Cruiserweight title 2 out of 3 falls match: Mustafa Ali (c) vs Noam Dar
First fall summary: Mustafa Ali as soon as the bell ring jumps onto Noam Dar and batters the hell out of him! Dar tries to escape to the outside of the ring and get some breathing room, as Ali responds by running off the ropes and flying through the air wiping out Noam Dar with a SUICIDE DIVE! Mustafa Ali takes Dar back into the ring as he carries on beating down the cocky Scotsman. Ali then climbs to the top rope and dives off hitting the 054 SPLASH! Mustafa Ali connects and makes the cover picking up the first fall in decisive fashion!
Winner of the first fall via pinfall: Mustafa Ali (1:45)
Second fall summary: Ali gets to his feet after picking up the first fall and with no breaks in between the falls, he keeps up the aggression laying into Noam Dar who seems to have no response to Ali's aggression! Ali grabs Dar and looks for a standing SPANISH FLY to finish this but Dar responds to this and rakes the eyes causing Ali to stumble back! Dar at this point falls backwards and smirks with a hint of relief on his face as he charges at Ali and takes out his right leg with A BASEMENT DROPKICK!
Ali falls to the mat clutching his leg and this brings a smile to the face of Noam Dar who goes on the attack as he starts working over Mustafa Ali. He lays into the right leg of Ali and carries on his attack relentlessly. Ali keeps fighting back but each time his comeback gets cut off by Noam Dar attacking the leg in some fashion whether it is a chop block or a submission or a takedown.
As we get towards the 11-minute mark Noam Dar grabs hold of the right leg of Mustafa Ali and locks in the CHAMPAGNE SUPER KNEEBAR! Dar wrenches on the hold and twists it tight as Ali cries out in pain. Ali reaches for the ropes but Dar holds it on tight and drags Ali back towards the center of the ring! Dar once again wrenches back on the hold as Ali lifts his arm into the air but he refuses to tap out!
Ali grits his teeth and pushes down on the mat and flips forward sending Noam Dar into the ropes! Dar bounces up off the ropes as Ali hops to his feet and hits a SUPERKICK! Ali had to use his bad leg though and can't make the cover straight away. Instead, he slowly makes his way to the top rope gritting through the pain but takes too long to get to the top rope as Dar smashes him in the leg from behind! Dar climbs to the top rope joining Ali and hits him with an AVALANCHE BACK SUPLEX! Dar makes the cover 1 2 3 Noam Dar evens the score!
Winner of second fall via pinfall: Noam Dar (13:22)
Third fall summary: Boos from the crowd but Noam Dar smirks as he soaks in the heat from the live crowd. As soon as he is done taunting he makes another cover but Ali this time kicks out at 2! Dar though smirks and starts laying into Ali with several boos taunting him the whole time and acting like he has this match in the bag. However, this nearly comes back to bite him as Ali catches Dar by surprise and rolls him up for a very close 2 count!
Dar is furious and charges in looking to kick Ali's head in but Ali swipes his leg from underneath him and hits a STANDING MOONSAULT! Ali makes the cover but is only good enough for a 2. Ali shakes his head as he lifts Dar off the mat and looks to go for a STANDING SPANISH FLY... Dar counters and hits a NORTHERN LIGHTS SUPLEX! Dar looks at Ali and smiles as he grabs his right leg locking in the CHAMPAGNE SUPER KNEEBAR!
Noam Dar wrenches the hold back tight as Ali screams in pain and looks to flip Dar over as he did earlier in the match but Dar GRAPEVINES IT SO ALI CAN'T FLIP HIM OVER! Ali knows he is in trouble but he still refuses to tap out. Ali grits his teeth as he slowly crawls on the mat using all of his strength as he reaches and reaches for the ropes! Dar tries to pull him back and keeps wrenches the hold... ALI MAKES IT TO THE ROPES FORCING A BREAK!
Dar though holds on until the count of 4 before slamming Ali's leg down to the mat. Dar kicks the ropes in frustration but composes himself. He stalks Ali and lines him up for the NOVA ROLLER! Dar charges in but Ali ducks underneath causing Dar to crash and burn! Dar gets back to his feet as Ali grabs him and plants him with an STO... BEFORE TRANSITIONING INTO A KOJI CLUTCH!
Ali wrenches the hold back on Dar as he traps the Scot in the center of the ring! Dar tries to fight out of it but he can't overpower Ali who is using all his strength and will to hold onto Dar! Dar tries to shift his body weight so he can crawl to the ropes but Ali pulls Dar back towards the center of the ring. Noam Dar almost has tears in his eyes as he doesn't want to give up... BUT HE TAPS OUT!
Winner of the third fall via submission and still Cruiserweight Champion: Mustafa Ali (18:55)
Mustafa Ali lets go of Noam Dar and rolls away from the cocky Scotsman as he lays on the mat, wincing slightly due to the pain his right leg is still in due to Noam Dar throughout the match.
Michael Cole: What a match! Mustafa Ali retains his Cruiserweight title but Noam Dar made him work for it tonight!
Big Show: Both these men put on one hell of a performance tonight but in the end, Ali was too much for Dar.
Michael Cole: Ali didn't just prove it once but he proved it twice tonight. He is the better man.
Mustafa Ali carries on celebrating the win, still selling his right leg due to Noam Dar's assault throughout the match. Meanwhile, on the outside Dar is devastated by his loss and shakes his eyes, rubbing his eyes as we cut to a commercial break.

When we return from the commercial break, we see Sonya Deville shadow boxing and getting ready for her match later on in the show. We hear the locker room door open and we see Shayna Baszler walk into the room. Sonya doesn't take her eyes off the punching bag and carries on her work out.
Sonya Deville: Hey Mandy, I'm just finishing off my workout ahead of our match tonight. I still can't believe you want us to work with Shayna.
Shayna pulls a face as Sonya carries on oblivious to who she is talking to.
Sonya Deville: Like at least she can wrestle but her two mates. My god. Those two losers. Maybe Ronda and her hang around with them to make themselves look good.
Shayna at this point grabs Sonya's arm and spins her around.
Shayna Baszler: What did you just say?
Shayna is full of anger but Sonya doesn't give a damn.
Sonya Deville: You heard what I said. I thought I was talking to Mandy but I have no problem saying what I just to your face!
Both women are glaring at each other as Mandy Rose walks into the room with some doughnuts.
Mandy Rose: Hey Sonya, I've got our... What's going on in here?
Shayna Baszler: I came in here to talk strategy ahead of tonight's match but Sonya wants to run her mouth instead.
Sonya doesn't back down.
Sonya Deville: Listen your intimidation might have worked in NXT with all the scared rookies but this is the big leagues and I ain't one of your two little goons.
Mandy steps forward and tries to ease the tension in the room.
Mandy Rose: OK listen some things were said but we need to work together tonight and...
Shayna Baszler: I didn't ask you barbie!
Shayna turns around glaring at Mandy causing her to back off but SONYA SPINS SHAYNA BACK ROUND!
Sonya Deville: Don't you ever speak to my friend like that again.
Shayna smirks.
Shayna Baszler: The only thing keeping you alive right now is the fact we are teaming up later on tonight.
Shayna glares at Sonya before shoulder barging past Mandy Rose. Sonya lunges forward as she looks to attack Shayna but Mandy stops her as she looks to calm her friend down.
Mandy Rose: Sonya, Sonya don't be stupid.
Sonya turns to face Mandy.
Sonya Deville: I don't give a damn if we're meant to be working with her later on tonight. I've seen people like her all my life. She's nothing but a bully Mandy.
Sonya heads back to the punching bag and goes back to her work out as Mandy sighs as she looks a little scared. Maybe even concerned as we cut elsewhere backstage.
-------------------------------------------------------------
We see Samoa Joe is sat down on a metal chair. He is glaring at the camera with a towel around his neck and he has the United States title around his waist.
Samoa Joe: Last week proved one thing. Chad you've learned nothing from Kurt.
Joe smirks.
Samoa Joe: Or maybe the old man has nothing left to teach?
Joe rubs his chin as he smiles looking at the camera.
Samoa Joe: You keep making the same mistake. And I don't just mean in attempting to fight me.
Joe now folds his arm as he looks at the camera.
Samoa Joe: It's so easy to get in your head. I just have to target Kurt and you lose your temper, rushing into battle just like that!
Joe snaps his fingers.
Samoa Joe: And once again, I quickly beat you. Do you think you deserve a shot at my title?
Joe takes the title off his waist and lifts it into the air.
Samoa Joe: I've already beaten you in that ring with this on the line. When are you people going to learn that no one is beating me for this? They will have to take it from my cold dead hands.
Samoa Joe is now on his feet as he stares at the camera intensely.
Samoa Joe: But let's have a look at the other four victims this Sunday.
Joe smiles.
Samoa Joe: Humberto Carrillo. A young kid and very talented. Such a shame he is a lamb to the slaughter.
Joe puts the United States title onto his shoulder.
Samoa Joe: Rusev. Just like you I've already beat him to keep hold of this title.
Joe ignores the help he got from Zelina Vega.
Samoa Joe: Dolph Ziggler. I mean I would talk about you but your career has been long dead. And my father always told me to never speak ill of the dead.
Samoa Joe smirks to himself but gets serious once again.
Samoa Joe: Aleister Black. The man in charge. I learned a long time ago if you want to get to the top, go after the guy in charge. Well Black, I'll give you some thoughts to meditate on. You may have your eyes on the Universal title but let me make one thing clear.
Joe gets closer to the camera as he snarls.
Samoa Joe: When I lead Zelina's team to victory, there is only going to be one person next in line. And there will no doubt who the most dominant champion in WWE is when I have both the United States title and Universal title on my shoulder.
Joe finishes the promo glaring at the camera and walks off as we cut to a commercial break.

*DALE GAS*
A decent pop from the live crowd as Humberto Carrillo makes his way out as he slaps hands with a few of the fans on his way to the ring ahead of a big opportunity tonight.
Michael Cole: Welcome back to Monday Night Raw and we are about to see Humberto Carrillo, one of our young rising stars take on the Universal champion Andrade Cien Almas.
Big Show: And earlier tonight we heard a few words from Carrillo ahead of a big week for the young superstar.
-------------------------------------------------------------
We see Humberto Carrillo in street clothes with a smile on his face as he looks at the camera.
Humberto Carrillo: This week is the biggest of my career. But it's easy to say when you’re my age.
He lets a bit of a smile out.
Humberto Carrillo: See I've not achieved the things my idol Rey Mysterio has but tonight I have the chance to do something for him. Beat Andrade and get some revenge.
Humberto is no longer smiling as he for once looks angry.
Humberto Carrillo: What you and your gang did to us? I had to spend weeks watching from home. I had to watch you steal the title that Rey earned in Mexico. I had to watch you ruin my idol’s dream!
Humberto is starting to shout showing a rare bit of intensity.
Humberto Carrillo: And that's why this Sunday, I help Team Black defeat Team Ungovenables whilst Rey takes back the title that was stolen from him.
-------------------------------------------------------------
We cut back to the ring as Humberto is jumping up and down as he waits for the Universal champion Andrade to make his way out.
*GANGSTER'S PARADISE*
Boos from the crowd as the Universal champion Andrade Cien Almas makes his way out joined by his manager Zelina Vega. Both have a microphone in their hands.
Zelina Vega: Humberto, me and Andrade heard your little speech just now. Very inspiring but it just shows how naïve you truly are.
Boos from the crowd as Humberto frowns in the ring.
Zelina Vega: You think you're going to avenge Rey? You think you can do what Rey Mysterio couldn't do and beat Andrade!
Zelina laughs as Andrade takes over.
Andrade Cien Almas: It doesn't matter how many people I face at Survivor Series. I'm still going to be el idolo and I'll still be Universal Champion!
Andrade takes his Universal title off and lifts it into the air soaking in boos from the crowd before stepping into the ring as Humberto gets in his face. The referee gets the two men to back off to their separate corners. Once there we see Andrade and Zelina talk a bit of strategy before the referee calls for the bell to get this match underway.
Match 2: Andrade Cien Almas w/Zelina Vega vs Humberto Carrilo
Match summary: The match starts at a fast pace with a lot of counters as Humberto puts on a good showing against the Universal Champion. Humberto even gets a few more in the crowd behind him which his performance during this match. Andrade though stays alive and the longer the matches goes on the more we see why Andrade is the Universal Champion as he not only matches Humberto move for move but wears the young superstar down. In the end, Andrade puts Humberto away with the HAMMERLOCK DDT! Andrade makes the cover and picks up the win in just under ten minutes.
Winner via pinfall: Andrade Cien Almas (9:11)
Boos from the crowd but Andrade doesn't give a damn as he gets to his feet and poses for the crowd, carrying on his momentum ahead of Survivor Series this Sunday. Zelina meanwhile climbs into the ring and passes Andrade his Universal title which he lifts into the air.
Michael Cole: A good performance tonight from Humberto Carrillo but our Universal champion was too much for him!
Big Show: Humberto will learn from this and get better however, Zelina sent a message to Team Black tonight. She knows how to pick winners and Andrade certainly was the winner tonight.
-------------------------------------------------------------
We then cut backstage to Rusev's locker room as we can see the Bulgarian Brute is watching the match on TV and shakes his head disappointed. He turns around as we see his wife Lana getting ready for her match later tonight. She looks a little worried as Rusev gets up and walks over to his wife.
Rusev: How you feeling?
Lana looks at Rusev and lets out a weak smile.
Lana: Nervous but I'm ready. I'm going to crush Zelina.
That brings a smile to Rusev who hugs his wife and kisses her. He breaks from the kiss as he sees Dolph Ziggler walk into the room.
Rusev: What are you doing in here? Have you ever heard of knocking?
Ziggler puts his hand up.
Dolph Ziggler: I just came to talk a little bit of strategy ahead of Survivor Series and to see old friends.
Rusev looks unimpressed as Lana rolls her eyes.
Dolph Ziggler: Listen, I know due to our past neither of you like me and that's fine. But this Sunday we need to work together to win. So let's talk about a plan for tonight and then we can talk about Survivor Series.
Ziggler offers his fist to Rusev and the Brute accepts.
-------------------------------------------------------------
We then cut to a hallway backstage as Lio Rush and Bobby Lashley walking to the ring. Bobby Lashley has a scowl on his face whilst Lio Rush can be seen hyping the big man up.
Michael Cole: Up next, after the commercial break we will get the official weigh-in for Brock Lesnar and Bobby Lashley clash this Sunday. Do not go anywhere!
-------------------------------------------------------------
Ad break
-------------------------------------------------------------
We return from the commercial break as we see the Raw Commissioner Paige stood in the ring with a microphone in hand. Behind her, we can see two podiums with microphones on them and between them a scale. The ring mat has been covered with a black carpet. We also see several security guards on hand ready in case anything kicks off during the weigh-in.
Paige: Now unlike the people in charge of Smackdown I'm not going to waste any time and make this Sunday about myself.
Paige getting some shots in on HHH and Shane McMahon.
Paige: So let's get this weigh-in underway.
Loud cheers from the crowd.
Paige: Starting first, please welcome the All-Mighty Bobby Lashley!
*DOMINANCE*
A mixed reaction as Bobby Lashley makes his way out and of course, he is joined by Lio Rush who is mouthing off to the fans and hyping his main man up as he walks to the ring. Bobby Lashley steps into the ring as Lio Rush joins him. We see Lio look at Paige and winks at her which causes Paige to roll her eyes.
Paige: Now, Bobby would you please step onto the scales for me.
Lashley nods, doing what Paige says as he climbs onto the scales and poses for the crowd showing off his muscles. Backstage Vince can be heard saying look at that beef. Paige looks at the scales before turning back to speak to the live fans.
Paige: Two hundred and seventy-three pounds!
Lio Rush: Of pure muscle!
Lio slaps the arm of Lashley as he steps off the scales. Lashley doesn't react instead standing next to his hype man arms folded.
Paige: Now let's bring out his opponent this Sunday, The Beast Incarnate Brock Lesnar!
*NEXT BIG THING*
Paige: Guys, guys stop this now.
Lashley backs off as Brock responds by saying “Yeah you walk away”. Lio tells Lashley that now is not the time as he backs off slightly but glares at Brock the whole time. Paul Heyman smirks meanwhile as Paige looks to get the weigh-in back on track.
Paige: Now Brock, would you please step onto the scales please?
Brock smirks as he walks onto the scales. Paige looks at the scales before turning back around to the live crowd.
Paige: Two hundred and eighty-six pounds!
Mixed reaction once again as Brock Lesnar steps off the scales and walks over to Paul Heyman as Bobby Lashley refuses to take his eyes off Brock Lesnar. Paige meanwhile carries on speaking to the fans.
Paige: Now that we have finished the weigh-in I'm going to ask both...
Paul Heyman: Excuse me.
Paige turns to Paul Heyman and gives him a death glare. Paul puts his hands up defensively.
Paul Heyman: Sorry Paige I don't mean to interrupt but I have something to say to Bobby Lashley and Lio Rush.
A mixed reaction as Paige rolls her eyes but she allows Paul Heyman to speak.
Paul Heyman: Thank you Paige and I must say you are doing a fantastic job as commissioner.
Paul ever the kiss-ass.
Paul Heyman: And this match at Survivor Series, I must say as a former promoter myself, I love the marketing. A dream match. Bobby Lashley vs Broccccck Lesnarrrrrr!
Loud cheers from the crowd excited to see the two super heavyweights go head to head.
Paul Heyman: However for you Bobby it's going to be a nightmare.
A mixed reaction from the crowd as Lashley steps forward but we can hear Lio Rush off-mic trying to keep him calm.
Paul Heyman: Now I know you people have wanted this match for years because if there is any superstar who comes close to Brock Lesnar in strength, speed, and background, well it's you Lashley.
Heyman points at Lashley who remains stoic.
Paul Heyman: And in another timeline, it might be you I'm managing instead of Brock Lesnar. Because you have all the skills to be a world champion. But you're not Brock Lesnar.
Once again a mixed reaction from the crowd as Heyman carries on.
Paul Heyman: Brock is a once in a generation killer. There is no one past or present better than him.
Paul then smiles and points at Lio Rush.
Paul Heyman: And if you had council more concerned about your well being, you would be petitioning to go to Smackdown away from Brock Lesnar!
Lio Rush (off-mic): Oh we're on this again?
Paul Heyman: Instead of indulging your ego, he should be keeping you away from Brock. Cause after Survivor Series, there will be no doubt who the better man is. At Survivor Series he will finally end all questions on who is the best cross-promotional athlete in wrestling history. And his name is Br...
Lio Rush: Bobby Lashley.
Mixed reaction from the crowd as Lio Rush interrupts Paul Heyman.
Lio Rush: You can talk about my managerial abilities but all that matters this Sunday is what the main man does in the ring!
Bobby flexes his muscles as Brock laughs.
Lio Rush: Brock may have been the man for years but this Sunday Lashley will show everyone why he is the best multi-sport athlete.
A mixed reaction for Rush as well as Lashley bends down and whispers something in Lio's ear. Lio smiles as he looks at Heyman.
Lio Rush: But why wait till Sunday?
Bobby Lashley explodes as he charges past the security guards and clocks Brock Lesnar in the face. Brock falls to the mat holding his jaw as security swarm over the pair and try to pull them apart. Paige wisely gets out of the ring due to her health issues as Paul Heyman scalds Paige about what is going on. In the ring though the security guards pull them apart and get both men to their corners as they look to keep them separate. Lio Rush meanwhile has sneaked out of the ring and grabs a STEEL CHAIR.
He slides into the ring and starts hitting some of the security guards with it which helps Lashley break free as Lashley grabs some of the security guards and tosses them around like they are nothing! One of them even gets tossed over the ropes and lands on the outside of the ring! In the other corner of the ring, Brock looks to break free and he starts fighting them off himself tossing them around too. Brock is fighting the last one as Lashley tosses his final one out of the ring and the two men lock eyes!
Both men charge into the center of the ring and starting laying into each other to the delight of the crowd. These two men batter the shit out of each other as the crowd goes wild! Both men are evenly matched with neither man gaining the upper hand until Lio Rush clocks Brock Lesnar in the back with THE STEEL CHAIR! Brock stumbles over and that's all Bobby needs to take control of the brawl. He lays into Brock before lifting him into the air and hits him with a RUNNING POWERSLAM!
Michael Cole: Did you see that? The strength and power!
Back in the ring, Lio Rush talks trash to Brock Lesnar who rolls out of the ring to the outside as Paul Heyman talks to him. Brock thinks about going back into the ring but Paul Heyman talks him out of it. In the ring, Lio Rush talks trash and bangs the chair on the mat as he dares Brock Lesnar to get back in the ring whilst Bobby Lashley stands next to him with a smug look on his face.
Big Show: Well we got a preview of it tonight but this Sunday both men will collide in a dream match!
Michael Cole: I can't wait Big Show. But up next after the commercial break, we will see AJ Styles take on Drew Gulak. Don't go anywhere.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Ad break
-------------------------------------------------------------
*FOR THE BETTER*
A decent pop from the crowd as Drew Gulak walks to the ring and enjoys the reaction he is getting from the live crowd. He walks to the ring and cranks his neck as he gets ready to get down to business.
Michael Cole: Drew Gulak has been putting on great performances the last few weeks but hasn't been able to pick up a win for a while.
Big Show: Drew has had a tough string of opponents over the last few weeks but a win tonight over AJ Styles, a former WWE and United States champion would be massive for his career.
*PHENOMENAL*
A loud mixed reaction but it leans towards boos as The Club make their way out. All 3 men walk out onto the entrance ramp but AJ Styles turns to The Good Brothers and gives them a Too Sweet. Both men nod and head backstage as they leave AJ to go it alone tonight.
Michael Cole: Well it looks like AJ is going alone tonight.
Big Show: I was speaking to Rey earlier tonight and this might be because Paige has ruled that no one will be allowed at ringside this Sunday during the Universal title match or they will be fired.
Michael Cole: So AJ might be using this match as a warm-up for this Sunday.
Big Show: Exactly Michael.
In the ring, AJ smirks and taunts Drew Gulak who rolls his eyes whilst the referee calls for the bell to get this match underway.
Match 3: AJ Styles vs Drew Gulak
Match summary: Both men start the match off by grappling in the ring as they look to vie for control and see who the better man is. AJ does win out and gets cocky which allows Drew back into the match and he even shows up AJ on a couple of occasions grinding down the Phenomenal one! AJ though survives the pressure from Drew and takes control of the match. In the end, AJ reverses one of Drew Gulak's submissions and locks in the CALF CRUSHER! Drew tries to find a way out but he can't and is forced to tap out!
Winner via submission: AJ Styles (8:07)
AJ Styles gets to his feet and celebrates as he gets a mixed reaction from the crowd. Drew Gulak noticeably rolls out of the ring and looks disappointed he came up short tonight.
Michael Cole: AJ Styles with the win and he carries on his momentum ahead of the Universal title match this Sunday.
Big Show: Drew Gulak put on a decent performance but AJ was just too much for him tonight. And who knows Michael, we could see a new Universal Champion this Sunday?
-------------------------------------------------------------
As AJ Styles carries on celebrating we cut backstage and see The Good Brothers watching the match backstage. They seem to be in a good mood as Renee Young approaches the pair.
Renee Young: Karl, Luke, your leader AJ picked up the win tonight. How is he feeling ahead of Survivor Series?
Karl Anderson: Honestly Renee, he's a bit angry.
Luke Gallows: He beat Andrade at Armageddon and it should be him taking on Andrade one on one for the Universal title.
Karl Anderson: But that doesn't matter. This Sunday AJ will take the Universal title and become a three-time World Champion!
Renee Young: Whilst AJ looks to become Universal champion, what's the situation with you two and the tag team titles?
Both men shake their heads.
Karl Anderson: Just like AJ, we've been screwed out our rightful rematch.
Luke Gallows: We shouldn't have had to earn our rematch. We held the World title tag team titles for one hundred and twenty-five days. We weren't even pinned when we lost our titles.
Karl Anderson: But next week, we finally get to show the Street Profits why we're the best team on Raw in a number one contender's match!
Luke Gallows: That's right my brother next week we will beat the Street Profits and finally get them off our backs. After that, The Authors of Pain's chapter with the World tag team titles comes to an end.
The Good Brothers too sweet each other and walk off elsewhere as we cut to a commercial break.

*SKY'S THE LIMIT (REMIX)*
Loud boos from the crowd as the Women's Universal champion makes her way out and she has a smug smirk on her face. She taunts the fans a little bit before heading to the ring with a microphone in hand.
Michael Cole: Last week, Sasha Banks was victorious in her beat the clock challenge and Bayley was unable to match her time. That means Sasha Banks will choose the stipulation for this Sunday!
Big Show: These two women went to war at Armageddon but Banks had to cheat to hold onto her title. And I bet she's glad she can pick the stipulation this Sunday.
Sasha climbs into the ring and smirks as she looks at the fans in attendance.
Sasha Banks: Well it looks like I have all the power in my hands.
She looks at her Women's Universal title and then back at the fans shaking her head as she smirks.
Sasha Banks: But I'm used to that. Ever since I won the Money in the Bank briefcase, I've been the most powerful person on this roster.
Loud boos from the crowd.
Sasha Banks: I had the power to choose when I would become champion and I finally did at Summerslam.
She has a smug smirk as she remembers cashing in on Becky Lynch.
Sasha Banks: By the time Survivor Series comes around I will have held onto this belt for over one hundred days. By finally ignoring you people I stopped choking!
Cheap heat but Sasha has a wry smile on her face.
Sasha Banks: I finally became the Legit Boss once again! I finally became the champion I was in NXT!
A few cheers from the fans who remember her NXT run which brings a scowl to her face.
Sasha Banks: I never needed you morons and I never needed Bayley!
And now it's all boos once again.
Sasha Banks: Bayley was an anchor that was wearing me down. And once I used her for all she was worth, I made it back to the top of the Women's division.
Banks smiles and looks towards the entrance ramp.
Sasha Banks: And that brings me to this Sunday, Survivor Series. I have all the power in my hands once again.
Sasha looks at her own hands and smiles to herself.
Sasha Banks: I can pick the stipulation for the match this Sunday. I could pick a match wildly in my favor.
Loud boos for that statement.
Sasha Banks: I could even force Bayley to leave Raw when I beat her.
Banks let’s out a chuckle reveling in the power she wields.
Sasha Banks: But I already know what kind of match I'm going to beat Bayley in and that is...
*TURN IT UP*
A loud pop as Bayley makes her way out and heads straight to the ring, sliding inside the ring as she looks to get her hands on the Boss but Sasha rolls out of the ring wanting no part of Bayley dropping her microphone. The Hugger is furious as she grabs the microphone and paces around the ring.
Bayley: Why don't you shut the hell up and announce the stipulation already?
Loud cheers from the crowd.
Bayley: I always knew you liked the sound of your own voice but this is something else.
Banks at this point is by the timekeeper area and snatches a microphone off one of the stagehands.
Sasha Banks: I know you can't help being the runt of the four horsewomen!
A few ooooh's from the crowd as Banks smirks.
Sasha Banks: But you don't get to tell me what to do. You want to know the stipulation for this Sunday? It will be a last woman standing match!
A big pop from the crowd excited to see these two women batter each other.
Sasha Banks: And do you want to know why I picked that stipulation? Because not only am I going to keep you down for a ten count but I'm also going to end your career and get rid of you for good!
Loud boos from the crowd as Bayley shakes her head.
Bayley: The only thing that's going to happen this Sunday, is me beating your ass!
Loud cheers from the crowd as Bayley looks fired up.
Bayley: You can run all you want tonight but this Sunday, not only do I get to show you that you ain't shit!
An event bigger pop as Banks glares at Bayley.
Bayley: I get to take that title from you!
Bayley tosses the microphone down to the mat as Sasha Banks looks on shaking her head, as she lifts her Women's Universal title into the air.
Michael Cole: Bayley versus Sasha Banks in a Last Woman Standing match!
Big Show: As someone who has fought in Last Man standing matches, they can take years off your career. The damage they do to your body can last for years. This Sunday we will see these two destroy each other.
-------------------------------------------------------------
We then cut to a hallway backstage as we can see the World tag team champions the Authors of Pain walking to the ring.
Michael Cole: Up next, we are going to see the World tag team titles on the line as the Authors of Pain take on the Lucha Dragons. Don't go anywhere!

When we return from the commercial break, we cut a locker room backstage as we can see the Ungovenables hanging out. Also noticeably in the room is Shinsuke Nakamura. Zelina is stood in front of the group and she smiles.
Zelina Vega: Earlier tonight, Andrade gave a preview of what will happen not only to team Black this Sunday but also to all of Andrade's opponents at Survivor Series.
Andrade smirks as he looks at the camera.
Zelina Vega: Rollins, AJ, and Rey. None of you are on Andrade's level. And this Sunday Andrade will defy the odds to keep his Universal title.
Andrade lifts his title into the air as Cesaro and Ilja both look at Andrade nodding.
Zelina Vega: And the rest of my clients? Well, Team Black doesn't stand a chance. Just like Lana later on tonight.
Zelina takes off her business jacket she is wearing and reveals her wrestling gear!
Zelina Vega: Lana, when I leave you a broken mess in the ring make sure your husband knows my clients will do that to him this Sunday.
The promo comes to an end with The Ungovenables looking at the camera as Zelina lets out an evil chuckle and Shinsuke in the background just sits there relaxing as The Ungovenables get ready for a busy Sunday night.
-------------------------------------------------------------
*ANCIENT SPIRIT*
A decent pop as we cut back to the ringside area, with the challengers The Lucha Dragons make their way to the ring. The two men would normally sprint to the ring but due to the damage done to them last week, they both take their time, nursing the damage they sustained in that attack.
Michael Cole: Last week, we saw the Lucha Dragons get attacked by the World tag team champions The Authors of Pain in a brutal and vicious assault. And it's clear they are not back to one hundred percent.
Big Show: Agreed Michael. They are clearly fighting through the pain to try to become World tag team champions. It shows how much those titles mean to the superstars that they are willing to fight through the pain!
*PAIN*
Boos reign down as the World team champions the Authors of Pain make their way to the ring with the World tag team titles slung over their shoulders. They have scowls on their faces whilst in the ring, you can see Lucha Dragons shaking their heads as they look furious themselves.
Michael Cole: These two men since returning have run roughshod over the Raw tag team division.
Big Show: Look at the size of them. It's no wonder they have been so dominant since coming back.
AOP are now at ringside as Akam climbs into the ring looking to start for his team whilst Kalisto starts for the Lucha Dragons. The referee rings the bell and the match is underway!
Match 4: World tag team titles match: The Authors of Pain (c) vs The Lucha Dragons
Match summary: Lucha Dragons try to start the match off at a fast pace as they look for revenge but the Authors of Pain cut them off at every turn. Akam and Rezar batter the poor Lucha Dragons. Sin Cara ends up being the legal man as we get to the finish with Rezar hitting him with a SPINEBUSTER! Kalisto runs in to try to help his partner but Akam comes in and wipes him out with a massive LARIAT! Akam scoops Kalisto up as Rezar scoops Sin Cara up and they hit them with the SUPER COLLIDER (Stereo powerbombs). Rezar makes the cover and picks up the win!
Winners via pinfall and still World tag team champions: The Authors of Pain (2:56)
Boos from the crowd but it was never in doubt as the Authors of Pain rise to their feet and pose over the fallen Lucha Dragons.
Michael Cole: An absolute demolition tonight from the Authors of Pain as they retain their World tag team titles.
Big Show: I wonder if they weren't still injured if the result would have been any different.
Back in the ring, The Authors of Pain are passed their tag team titles and they look at the Lucha Dragons on the floor still selling the damage done to them during this match. Sin Cara rises first and Akam seems to take that as a personal insult as he boots him in the face! Boos from the crowd as Rezar attacks Kalisto on the mat. Both men batter the Luchadors on the mat before picking them up and tossing them from the ring!
The Lucha Dragons land on their back on the outside as AOP follows them to the outside and lays into them with several punches to the head. They then grab hold of one each and slam them back first into the ring apron! Both men slide down to the floor in pain as Authors of Pain look at each other and smile. They drag The Lucha Dragons off the ring floor and lift them into the air!
Michael Cole: Oh my god! Don't do this, there's no need for this!
The Authors of Pain clink the Lucha Dragons together and hit them with a SUPER COLLIDER ONTO THE RING APRON! Kalisto's and Sin Cara's back bounces off the ring apron as they fall to the floor in agony. The Authors of Pain towers over them and walk off smirking to themselves, happy with the damage they have done tonight.
Big Show: The Authors of Pain are sending a message tonight to the entire tag team division. This is what awaits you if you come for their tag team titles!
The Authors of Pain finally leave as Kalisto and Sin Cara lay on the floor laid out and not moving after that vicious assault. We see a swarm of medics run down the ramp and look to check on the Lucha Dragons.
Michael Cole: Guys we are going to a short commercial break but when we return we will hope to provide you an update. Don't go anywhere!
-------------------------------------------------------------
Ad break
-------------------------------------------------------------
When we return from the commercial break, we can see Kalisto and Sin Cara loaded onto the ambulances with neither man moving after the attack by The Authors of Pain. We see Raw commissioner Paige there as well as she shakes her head. As she goes to walk off we see Charly Caruso approach Paige looking for an interview.
Charly Caruso: Paige, we just saw what happened to the Lucha Dragons after their World tag team titles match with The Authors of Pain. Can you provide an update on the medical conditions of the Lucha Dragons?
Paige: According to the medics Kalisto and Sin Cara suffered major nerve damage to their spines. They are going to a local medical facility to be checked over.
Charly Caruso: Do you know how long they could be out of action for?
Paige shakes her head.
Paige: At the moment no. I hope to hear an update during the week but it seems the damage done to Sin Cara was a lot worse.
Charly Caruso: Thanks for your time Paige.
Paige solemnly nods and walks off as the ambulances drive off to a local medical facility.
-------------------------------------------------------------
We cut to a locker room backstage as we see Gable watching a tape of his tag team match on last week's Raw. He shakes his head as he sees himself getting pinned and sighs to himself. We then see Kurt Angle stood behind him.
Chad Gable: You and Black were right Kurt. I wasn't thinking straight.
Kurt Angle nods.
Kurt Angle: It's good that you realize that. It's the first step in us improving your temperament.
Gable nods agreeing with Kurt.
Kurt Angle: Me and Samoa Joe have gone to war in the past and he is a tough mentally as he is psychically. He knows how to push people's buttons.
Gable nods along listening to Kurt's wisdom.
Kurt Angle: If you get angry and raise to the bait he wins. Look how quickly they put you away both times when you lost your temper.
Chad Gable: I just wasn't thinking in both matches and just looking to attack Joe.
Kurt Angle: Which you can't do against someone of his skill level.
Gable nods.
Kurt Angle: But we will work on it ready for this Sunday.
Chad Gable: I will Kurt. And then this Sunday not only will kick both Shinsuke's and Angle's ass, I will be one of the sole survivors too!
Kurt Angle: It's true, it's true!
Both men nod as they smile at each other and share a hug.
-------------------------------------------------------------
We leave the locker room backstage as we see BECKY LYNCH walking through the hallway as she heads to the ring, getting a massive ovation from the crowd.
Michael Cole: Up next, we will see The Man Becky Lynch in action. Don't go anywhere!

Ad break

*GOLDEN GODDESS*
Fire and Desire make their way out to the ring as we return from the commercial break. It is mostly boos but some fans are cheering after Sonya gave Shayna a piece of her mind earlier in the show. Mandy can be heard as they are walking to the ring, telling Sonya they need to get on with Shayna.
*LOYALTY IS EVERYTHING*
There is no mixed reaction this time though as Shayna Baszler makes her way out! She walks to the ring and once inside she has a few choice words for Sonya as the pair argue one more time.
Michael Cole: Well it seems there is still no love lost between these two women.
Big Show: We heard earlier tonight what Sonya thinks of her tag team partner but these two will have to co-exist to win this match.
*NO REST FOR THE WICKED*
Cheers from the crowd as Taynara Conti and Xia Li make their way out. They look towards the ring and stare down Fire and Desire due to their rivalry over the last few weeks.
Michael Cole: Conti and Xia Li may be rookies on Monday Night Raw but the duo are starting to make a name for themselves.
Big Show: The experience these two are picking up is invaluable this early in their career.
Michael Cole: And tonight they get the chance to get a small measure of payback on Fire and Desire.
*CELTIC INVASION*
A massive pop from the live crowd as Becky Lynch makes her way out and heads straight to the ring, wasting no time. She slides into the ring and gets ready to start the match. She points at Shayna daring her to get into the ring. Shayna smirks and shakes her head as she signals for one of Fire and Desire to start this match. Sonya looks ready to punch Shayna but Mandy playing peacemaker steps into the ring to start the match.
Match 5: Becky Lynch, Taynara Conti and Xia Li vs Shayna Baszler and Fire & Desire
Match summary: Becky starts the match off at a fast pace and overwhelms Fire and Desire early on. Shayna refuses to tag in and treat Fire and Desire like they are her goons, doing her handiwork for her. Shayna only comes into the match when Fire and Desire have it under control and Becky isn't in the ring. As we get to the closing stages Shayna is working over Xia Li but she gets free and makes the hot tag bringing Becky into the match! Shayna tags in Mandy which causes an argument between her and Sonya on the ring apron.
Shayna though doesn't give a damn about this match and leaves the ring apron walking off. Sonya carries on mouthing off at Shayna which allows Xia Li and Conti to connect with a DOUBLE ROUNDHOUSE KICK taking out Sonya Deville. In the ring, Becky lifts Mandy up and HITS MAN DOWN! She looks Shayna in the eyes who watches from the entrance ramp as Becky locks in the DIS-ARM-HER! Mandy tries to escape but she taps out giving Becky the win!
Winners via submission: Becky Lynch, Taynara Conti and Xia Li (6:46)
Becky Lynch lets go of Mandy's arm once the referee calls for the bell and she gets to her feet as she celebrates her victory tonight, joined by Xia Li and Taynara Conti. Mandy grabs hold of her arm and rolls to the outside as Sonya is just coming to. Shayna meanwhile shakes her head and talks trash from the ramp.
Michael Cole: Becky Lynch picks up the win and shows Shayna what she could be in for this Sunday at Survivor Series!
Big Show: I don't see Fire and Desire being happy with Shayna Baszler ditching them halfway through the match! I feel like that is an argument from earlier tonight that will carry on after this show.
In the ring, Becky Lynch has signaled to someone at ringside that she wants a microphone. The stagehand passes her the microphone as Becky returns to the center of the ring whilst Xia Li and Taynara Conti stands behind her.
Becky Lynch: Shayna, this Sunday there will be no tag team partners to hide behind. There won't be any of your goons and you won't be able to use Fire and Desire to avoid me!
Loud cheers from the crowd as Shayna fumes at the top of the entrance ramp. Becky though carries on.
Becky Lynch: This Sunday I complete the set and collect the debt...
Becky sticks 3 fingers in the air and slowly lifts up a 4th finger.
Becky Lynch: As I break your arm and sending you back to that little weirdo Ronnie's side!
Becky tosses the microphone down as the crowd let out a loud pop. Shayna meanwhile on the entrance ramp shakes her head and promises it will be Becky leaving with a broken arm this Sunday as we cut to a commercial break.

Ad break

When we return from the commercial break, we hear a bunch of loud cheers and excitement as The Usos, Zack Ryder, and Heath Slater walk into the shot all having fun with each other.
Jey Uso: Jimmy I'm feeling good bro. Not only are The Usos back but we've got our boys by our side when we get to kick EC3's ass.
Jimmy Uso: That's right Uce and we need a fifth man as Ryder your boi Hawkins, he's where I have been for the last few months. Well wishes to him man.
Zack and Jimmy share a bro fist as Ryder smiles.
Zack Ryder: Thanks bro but yeah Curt is out of action for a while bro. Heath, you got anyone who could be our fifth man?
Heath shakes his hand.
Heath Slater: All of my former band mates are elsewhere man. And none of my kids are old enough to step into the ring yet.
All 4 men look puzzled as Drew Gulak walks past shaking his head clearly still frustrated by another loss earlier on tonight.
Jey Uso: Hey Drew. Drew over here.
Drew sighs and turns around.
Drew Gulak: Listen guys you don't want my advice when I can't pick up a win myself.
Jimmy walks over to Gulak and frowns.
Jimmy Uso: It seems you've got yourself locked up in your own penitentiary!
Gulak looks confused as Jimmy carries on.
Jimmy Uso: You seem trapped in your own mind. You've been killing it the last few weeks. Yeah, you may have lost but sometimes that happens Uce.
Drew looks unconvinced as Zack Ryder steps forward.
Zack Ryder: Listen bro. I saw my partner Curt go through the same trouble and he went on to become a tag team champion with me. He also beat AJ Styles in the middle of the ring. You're this close to a big win!
Heath Slater: So why don't you join our team at Survivor Series?
Drew looks a little confused.
Drew Gulak: You guys want me on the team?
All 4 men nod. Gulak smiles and shoots a politician's style thumbs up. He then starts shaking hands with the other 4 men.
Drew Gulak: Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you! I promise I won't let you down and I will lead us to a better Monday Night Raw.
Drew Gulak walks off with a big smile on his face leaving the rest of the team a little confused by how enthusiastically he said yes. It's all smiles though as we cut elsewhere backstage.
-------------------------------------------------------------
We are now in a dark room as we see Aleister Black in a nice black shirt as he sits on a chair, his hands clasped together as he looks into the camera.
Aleister Black: One thing I've learned over the years is life can take you to strange places.
Black lets out a wry smile.
Aleister Black: I'm a lone wolf. But this Sunday, I need to lead a team into battle. A role I've never ever placed myself in. Relying on others to help me win.
Black shakes his head.
Aleister Black: The way I grew up, relying on others was a weakness. I could only ever rely on myself to get the job done. But maybe that's one of my sins.
Black gets to his feet.
Aleister Black: I learned at Armageddon that my wrath cost me the match. I won't let my pride cost me this one. Whether I knock out all five men or if I don't eliminate anyone, I will lead my allies into battle.
Black leaves the center of the room and heads towards the door.
Aleister Black: And team Vega will fade... fade to Black.
And just like his words, the screen fades to black as we cut to a commercial break.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Ad break
-------------------------------------------------------------
When we return from the commercial break, we see the Street Profits hanging out backstage as they are drinking from their red cups. They seem to be in a relaxed mood.
Angelo Dawkins: Ever since Armageddon we've gotten sidetracked.
Montez Ford: You're right. We've taken our eye off the ball.
Angelo Dawkins: Instead of focusing on our success, we've spent more time helping Seth.
Montez Ford: And don't get us wrong. Seth is our homie. He's one of our closest friends.
Angelo Dawkins: But fighting him doesn't get us closer to what we really want.
Ford downs whatever is in his drink and tosses the red cup to the side as he gets to his feet.
Montez Ford: I love you Seth but we got sidetracked. But it wasn't just you. Nah fam, it was the Good Brothers too!
Angelo nods as he finishes his drink and tosses his red cup to the side.
Montez Ford: You two have been in our sights ever since you held the gold.
Angelo Dawkins: You had to cheat us.
Montez Ford: And then you had the audacity, THE AUDACITY to blame us for you losing the World tag team titles.
Montez is getting real fired up here.
Montez Ford: Well no more! No more! Next week, Good Brothers not only do we finally... Wait hang on Angelo.
Angelo turns around and smirks at his friend.
Montez Ford: FINALLY... The Street Profits get their hands on the Good Brothers.
Ford doing his best Rock impression.
Montez Ford: And those two candyasses...
Angelo Dawkins: You're going too far with it.
Montez stops for a moment and nearly breaks out of the moment smirking before returning to his normal voice.
Montez Ford: Are gonna get their asses beat and after we win...
Angelo Dawkins: Authors of Pain!
Montez Ford: WE WANT THE SMOKE!
Both members of the Street Profits stare at the camera, clearly fired up as we cut to the commentary team at the top of the entrance ramp.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Michael Cole: Well The Street Profits are fired up and they are right Big Show. Next week they will take on The Good Brothers with the winners facing The Authors of Pain at Starrcade!
Big Show: But that's not the only match confirmed for next week's Raw Michael!
Michael Cole: That's correct Big Show. Whilst Team Kick will be busy stepping into War Games this Saturday, on Raw we will be looking to crown their next challengers for the Women's tag team titles.
Big Show: And we have 2 matches on next week's Raw to qualify for a number one contender's match the week after!
Michael Cole: Fire and Desire will take on the returning Divas of Doom whilst in the other qualifying match we will also see the return of the Real Horsewomen as they take on Xia Li and Taynara Conti!
Big Show: But right now we are about to see Zelina Vega take on Lana!
The crowd are unsure whose music this is until Zelina Vega makes her way out with a smug smirk on her face. And she isn't alone as she is soon joined by Cesaro, Ilja Dragunov, Dominik Dijakovic, and Shinsuke Nakamura. Noticeably there is no Andrade or Samoa Joe with her as she walks to the ring.
Michael Cole: It looks like Zelina has brought most of her entourage with her to ringside tonight.
Big Show: Knowing Zelina, she probably has them out here to help her or to show off if she defeats Lana tonight!
Once again the crowd are unfamiliar with the theme music but they pop as Lana makes her way out and she is not alone as well. We see her husband Rusev walk out and he is joined by Chad Gable, Kurt Angle, and Dolph Ziggler. The group walks to the ring with Lana who climbs into the ring. On the outside, both groups talk trash to each other whilst Vega mocks Lana in the ring. The referee calls for the bell and this match is underway!
Match 6: Zelina Vega w/Cesaro, Ilja Dragunov, Dominik Dijakovic and Shinsuke Nakamura vs Lana w/Chad Gable, Kurt Angle, Dolph Ziggler and Rusev
Match summary: This match is not pretty with neither women being particularly experienced in the ring. This ends up being closer to a catfight than the normal standard of Women's matches today. On the outside, we see a ton of trash talk between the male wrestlers. Inside the ring Zelina Vega is dominating most of the match but Lana counters rolling up Vega 1 2 3! Lana pulls off a rare win!
Winner via pinfall: Lana (3:10)
Cheers from the crowd as Lana gets to her feet, jumping up and down! She is delighted to have picked up the win tonight whilst Zelina Vega argues with the referee claiming it was a 2 count! The referee shakes his head and makes it clear his decision is final.
Michael Cole: Lana picks up an upset victory tonight!
Big Show: Zelina isn't going to be happy about that.
Big Show is right as Zelina Vega clobbers Lana from behind! Rusev at this point slides into the ring and confronts Vega asking what she is doing. Vega puts her hands up but as she does the Ungovenables members on the outside and Shinsuke Nakamura attack Ziggler, Gable, and Angle leading to a brawl! Rusev leaves the ring to help his friends but as this happens Samoa Joe comes down and attacks Rusev. The brawl carries on as Humberto Carrillo runs out a little worse for wear after his match earlier... BUT ANDRADE CLOCKS HIM WITH THE TITLE! Loud boos from the crowd as the Ungovenables and friends take control beating on the faces until...
*ROOT OF ALL EVIL*
A loud pop as Aleister Black sprints down the ramp and jumps over the ropes hitting Andrade with a dropkick sending him out of the ring. From there Aleister Black goes on a rampage and starts battering the heels sending them out of the ring one by one! Once all of the heels are out of the ring they start to retreat up the ramp as they stand next to Zelina Vega looking angry. Black meanwhile takes a seat in the ring cross-legged whilst his teammates and Kurt Angle stand in the ring behind him as...
*STARS IN THE NIGHT*
Paige walks out with a microphone in hand getting the attention of Zelina Vega and the rest of the group with her.
Paige: Well it's good to see you guys out here already but I'm going to need you guys to head back to ringside.
Vega and the rest look confused as Paige carries on.
Paige: As up next is tonight's main event and I want everyone at ringside for it!
As Paige says that we see the Monday Night Raw male roster all make their way to the ring minus the World tag team champions The Authors of Pain, Cruiserweight champion Mustafa Ali, Noam Dar, and Lucha Dragons due to the event earlier on tonight. We see everyone out here minus the 3 men facing Andrade for the Universal title this Sunday.
Michael Cole: Up next we have our main event as Seth Rollins takes on Rey Mysterio in a lumberjack match! Don't go anywhere!
-------------------------------------------------------------
Ad break
-------------------------------------------------------------
When we return from the commercial break, we see everyone around ringside mentioned before the ad break except Andrade who has headed to the commentary.
Michael Cole: Hello and welcome back to Monday Night Raw's main event!
Big Show: That's not all as we are joined on commentary by Universal Champion AndradeCien Almas and Zelina Vega. Welcome.
Andrade Cien Almas: You forgot El idolo.
Zelina Vega: You need to show him the proper respect.
Michael Cole: Speaking of which, why did you not show respect to Lana after you lost?
Zelina Vega: Do you treat all your guests this badly?
*PHENOMENAL*
A mixed reaction from the crowd as AJ Styles makes his way out. At ringside we see The Good Brothers shouting and cheering as their leader makes his way to the commentary desk and grabs a headset.
Zelina Vega: Oh you have got to be kidding me.
AJ Styles: What's wrong Zelina? You don't like seeing a real winner?
Andrade responds by showing off his Universal title.
AJ Styles: Oh yeah what happened in Mexico?
Andrade glares at AJ Styles as Michael Cole looks to change the subject.
Michael Cole: Guys, what are your thoughts on the main event we are about to see?
It fails.
Andrade Cien Almas: Why don't you come over and we'll see what happens this time eh perro?
AJ Styles: What do say? What does that word mean? Oi Michael what does it mean.
*BOOYAKA 619*
A loud pop from the live crowd as Rey Mysterio makes his way out. Rey poses for the crowd before turning his attention towards Andrade Cien Almas and AJ Styles on the commentary desk.
Andrade Cien Almas: Oi Rey, así es como se ve un verdadero campeón. Acostumbrarse a él.
AJ Styles: Oi Zelina what did he say?
Zelina stares at Styles.
Zelina Vega: I'm not a translator. You want to know what he said to Rey? Learn Spanish you uncultured swine!
Big Show: Guys what are your thoughts on Rey as a competitor?
Zelina Vega: Listen Andrade may hate Rey but he knows how good he is as a competitor. There is a reason Rey used to an idol in Mexico. However, now it's Andrade's time!
AJ Styles: If Andrade's so much better than Rey, why did he need to cheap shot him to win the title? Look at all of my title wins. I earned the title, I didn't sneak up on a weakened champion and take advantage like you did.
Andrade Cien Almas: Trabajo más inteligentemente, no másduro.
AJ Styles: You're doing this on purpose to wind me up.
Zelina slyly nods whilst the camera cuts to Rey Mysterio making his way into the ring. He does a fist bump with the man he is mentoring Humberto Carrillo before heading back to the center of the ring as he waits for...
*SECOND COMING/ BURN IT DOWN*
A loud mixed reaction but it is closer to 50/50 than it has been before. Seth Rollins makes his way onto the entrance ramp and looks to the fans sighing before walking to the ring with a purpose.
AJ Styles: This man is such a phony.
Zelina Vega: Might be the only thing Andrade agrees with you on AJ.
Andrade nods.
Michael Cole: But he is also the man who has beaten Brock Lesnar, something you failed to do AJ.
Andrade and Zelina smirk as AJ sticks his arms in the air in anger.
AJ Styles: Oh we going there, Michael? Have you beaten Brock Lesnar?
Michael Cole: Well um no...
Big Show: I have.
Big Show gives AJ a knowing stare.
Zelina Vega: If Andrade had to fight Brock Lesnar, he would win. Same goes for all of my clients.
Back at ringside, we see Seth fist bump his friends The Street Profits before stepping into the ring and facing off against Rey Mysterio. Both men stare each other down as the referee calls for the bell to get this match underway!
Main event: Lumberjack match: Seth Rollins vs Rey Mysterio
Match summary: Early on, both men start the match out slow and look to avoid falling to the outside of the ring. After the initial opening stages of the match (and some arguing on commentary again from Andrade and AJ Styles) Seth sends Rey to the outside and he lands by The Ungovenables on the outside! They lay in a beating on Rey until some of the babyface lumberjacks step in and send Rey back into the ring.
Seth stays in control once again but Rey after a while counters and sends Seth out of the ring as well! The Good Brothers this time pounce and attack Seth as a few of the other heels and even The Ungovenables join in! The babyface lumberjacks meanwhile come over and break it up again as tension mounts on the outside as they roll Seth back into the ring.
Meanwhile, on commentary tensions boil over as AJ Styles makes a dig at Andrade's manager Zelina and that causes Andrade to toss his microphone down with a thud as he gets to his feet. AJ doesn't back down as the two men talk trash and Andrade leaps over the commentary desk as he starts punching AJ! The two men carry on brawling as they tumble down the entrance ramp, brawling towards the ring.
The Good Brothers see their boy in trouble and try to step in but The Ungovenables on the outside start fighting them! This spills over into total chaos on the outside as everyone starts fighting and the action even spills into the ring as the lumberjacks collide with Seth Rollins and Rey Mysterio. Rey and Seth are distracted by this so they defend themselves but they each get attacked by Dijakovic with a DOUBLE CLOTHESLINE so the referee waves the match off!
Winner: No contest (9:03)
The referee may have called the match off but the fighting hasn't stopped as it has descended into chaos. At ringside we can see The Street Profits brawling with The Good Brothers whilst Team Uso and Team EC3 have branched off into a war themselves. In the ring meanwhile, The Ungovenables minus their leader Andrade, Shinsuke Nakamura, and Samoa Joe are attacking Seth Rollins and Rey Mysterio getting boos from the crowd... as TEAM BLACK enters the ring!
A big pop as the two teams face off and they start wailing on each other! Gable battles Samoa Joe, Carrillo battles Dragunov, Cesaro battles Ziggler, Nakamura battles Rusev, and Black battles Dijakovic! All 10 men end up falling out of the ring and battling on the outside. As this is happening though we see AJ and Andrade now end up in the ring as the 4 men stare each other down before turning to Rey and Seth who rise to their feet as the 4 men in the Universal title match at Survivor Series look at each other!
Michael Cole: A sneak preview of this Sunday!
Big Show: It's about to kick off here!
AJ and Andrade look at each other nodding to the other as they attack Seth and Rey respectively! Boos from the crowds as the two heels start teeing off on the faces, who have taken a battering in the last 15 minutes. Andrade and AJ lay into the pair and even taunt them as Andrade sets Rey up for the HAMMERLOCK DDT but AJ uses that to cheap shot Andrade from behind!
The Universal champion falls to the mat as AJ smirks to himself before grabbing hold of Andrade and hits him with the STYLES CLASH! A mixed reaction from the crowd as AJ taps his head... and get a dropkick to the back from Seth! AJ falls onto the middle ropes as Rey Mysterio runs off the ropes and hits a 619! Seth though follows it up connecting with a CURB STOMP! Cheers from the crowd Seth smiles turns around and comes face to face with Rey Mysterio!
Michael Cole: Guess we are out of time! But if you want to see what happens when Seth Rollins, Rey Mysterio, and AJ Styles face Andrade Cien Almas for the Universal title, tune into Survivor Series this Sunday!
Monday Night Raw comes to an end with Seth Rollins and Rey Mysterio staring each other down, with AJ and Andrade out cold on the mat and the chaos going on around ringside as the show fades to black!
