WWE News: Preview Tonight’s Episode Of Monday Night RAW (11/19/18)
A sneak peek at what’s going down on tonight’s WWE RAW!
Fresh off of last night’s Survivor Series pay-per-view (see Mitchell’s Survivor Series Report here), the WWE remains at the Staples Center in Los Angeles for tonight’s edition of Monday Night RAW.
While no matches have yet to be announced for tonight’s broadcast, we can surely expect their to be fallout from last night’s Survivor Series and the beginning of the build to the WWE’s next pay-per-view, TLC on December 16th. Here’s what to expect when RAW hits the airwaves at 8PM EST on the USA Network. As always, you can keep up with all the action with Mitchell’s Live Report also beginning at the start of the show. Join the conversation as well with various members of The Chairshot on Twitter:
- Will RAW celebrate after sweeping SmackDown Live at Survivor Series?
- Next up for Braun Strowman? Baron Corbin AND Brock Lesnar, but when?
- Seth Rollins is no longer looking for answers from Dean Ambrose
- The RAW Women’s Title is now in Nia Jax’s sights
- After being viciously attacked by Charlotte Flair, what kind of mindset is Ronda Rousey in?
I got you what you wanted.
Now deliver what I want. No more time for running because I’m just getting STARTED with you!!!! #GetTheseHands— Braun Strowman (@BraunStrowman) November 19, 2018

My Thoughts:
Nothing too crazy, nothing too wild, this tournament only just got started. The only disappointing point is that they could not get Bryan “cleared to compete” Saturday night. Not sure how much of that is shoot given the bad eye, but this was kinda the problem of wanting him in the tournament over tons of other choices. Bryan wants to face Okada for WrestleKingdom 18, how is Bryan supposed to do that at his best if he’s also gonna be in a round robin, doing five top level matches in about as many weeks? And it takes away from Andrade being able to do something. Also a little surprised we didn’t even hear from Andrade on Saturday.
Now as we heard on Saturday, round two’s matches are set. Gold League will see Mark Briscoe VS Rush, White VS Swerve, and of course, Moxley VS Lethal. Nice variety there, a couple 0-1 guys facing off, as well as two 1-0 guys, and then 1-0 VS 0-1. No offense to Lethal, but he feels like an 0-2 going up against Moxley. Hard to call the other ones but that’s the fun of it. Meanwhile, Blue League sees Brody VS Claudio in a showdown to be 2-0, then Bryan and Andrade finally jump in, Bryan against Eddie and Andrade against Garcia. Sadly, feels like Eddie and Garcia are going 0-2, no way Tony Khan is booking Bryan and Andrade to lose their first shots.
In fact, that could be half the reason they did wait on those two, that’s almost too good for just a first round opener. But I still would’ve done it, same as NJPW does stuff like that for round robins, which this is all modeled after anyway.
