WWE RAW REPORT: RONDA DEFENDS THE TITLE, BRAUN GETS HIS MATCHES, DEAN AND SETH, AND MORE

By Richard Trionfo on 2018-11-19 23:00:00

We are in Los Angeles, California and your announcers are Michael Cole, Renee Young, and Corey Graves.

Baron Corbin is in the ring as we start things off.

Baron welcomes everyone to the undisputed A Show, Raw.  Baron says last night was one for the history books and credit goes to one person.  She is a titan in the industry and a visionary who orchestrated last night's sweep.  She is his boss . . . Stephanie McMahon.

Stephanie says for the people who did not watch Survivor Series, Raw cleaned up.  It was a clean sweep.  A lot of the success was due to the acting General Manager of Raw.  Stephanie says every single superstar on the Raw roster helped to decimate Smackdown.  Her brother Shane had to cheat and steal to try to win.  Stephanie says tonight, they are going to celebrate.

Baron says we have an excited night of action, after a little housekeeping.

Baron says that Stephanie made some promises and he reminds Stephanie about saying that she might make his job more permanent.

Stephanie says she made some promises . . . 

Braun Strowman's music plays and he makes his way to the ring.  

Braun says last night at Survivor Series, he held up his end of the bargain so it is time for Stephanie to hold up her own end and he wants a match against that slimeball.

Stephanie says she made a promise.  At TLC, Baron Corbin will . . . 

Braun says GET THESE HANDS.

Stephanie says that if Baron can defeat Braun at TLC, he will be permanent General Manager of Raw.  If he loses, he will lose all authority.

Braun says that Baron will lose because he gets to pick the stipulation and he won't be liable for ripping Baron to shreds.

Stephanie says she is working on that with the lawyers and dismemberment is an issue with liability.

Braun asks about his Universal Championship match.

Stephanie says Braun will get his title match at Royal Rumble, only if he can beat Baron Corbin at TLC.  She says this is a good deal for Braun.  Do you think you can't beat Baron Corbin?  

Braun welcomes Baron to Monday Night Braun.  He tells Baron to enjoy his time as acting General Manager while it lasts because he gets to pick the stipulation.  They will have a TLC match at TLC.  You are going to get these hands, these tables, these ladders, and these chairs.

Baron says that is a terrible idea.  He says the match favors him.  He will leave Braun is a pile of twisted steel and rubble.  That is if you can make it to TLC.  Baron says that Braun will face Bobby Lashley and Drew McIntyre in a handicap match.

Stephanie says that is a great match, but they need to one up that match.  They need to make it a six man tag match.  It will be Bobby Lashley, Drew McIntyre, and Baron Corbin versus Braun Strowman, Elias, and Finn Balor.  That match will happen next.

Elias says that he will be leading you to the promised land and you will need to follow one universal truth and that is that WWE stands for Walk With Elias.
