WWE RAW is live tonight from Fiserv Forum in Milwaukee. Here’s the latest from WWE to get you ready for the show:

The main announced attraction is Intercontinental Champion Seth Rollins bringing back the Open Challenge. We’ll see who rises to the task to face the Architect. There will also be more build for the TLC match between the self-proclaimed “Facebreaker” Nia Jax and RAW Women’s Champ Ronda Rousey. With Braun Strowman out of action, Acting RAW General Manager Baron Corbin will take on Finn Balor. Bobby Roode and Chad Gable will challenge RAW Tag Team Champs Authors of Pain one week after they beat Akam and Rezar in a non-title match. Also, Elias and Bobby Lashley will resume their rivalry.

RAW Opening Segment

The show opens with Baron Corbin, Drew McIntyre, Bobby Lashley, and Lio Rush together in the ring.

Corbin welcomes us to the show and says he hopes we all enjoyed our Thanksgivings and is sure we stuffed our faces with all those disgusting carbs, but unlike us, they don’t eat that garbage. They treat their bodies like temples to maintain peak physical performance, and that’s why they’re out there and we’re sitting here.

He’s thankful for his job as acting general manager, Lashley’s thankful for all the beta males wasting their life while he gets up every morning and takes what he wants, McIntyre’s thankful for the brutal, savage, extended beating they gave Braun Strowman last week. Baron says that’s a moment of time that will last forever and gestures for it to be replayed on the tron.

Corbin says he knows what we’re thinking– we won’t be seeing Strowman’s face on Raw for a long, long, long time, but he happens to have a little pull around here, so that’s not the case. He sent a camera crew to Birmingham, Alabama to interview Braun ahead of his surgery. We see Strowman stripped to the waist and he says he’s getting ready to have surgery on his bruised-up, nasty-looking elbow.

He’d rather be in Milwaukee to give those slimeballs their payback, but his surgeon has said he’s going to be on the shelf for a while, and he’s never worked on an arm this size. He may have some apprehensions, but he’ll be back 100%, and when he is, the attack last week and the gore of his surgery will seem like papercuts compared to what he does to the three of them.

He hopes they enjoy a couple weeks without the monster breathing down their backs, but when he does come back, all three of them are going to get These Hands. Bob scoffs and says he’ll take them if they even work after the surgery, and Baron says there’s no way Braun will be medically cleared for TLC, which is too bad, since their match is still on, and when he wins by forfeit, he’ll become the permanent general manager.

All of Raw’s superstars need to decide what side of history they’re on– the lights go out after a few more moments of ranting about being with him or against him and a guitar chord breaks the silence. The lights come up and Elias is on the stage to play us a song! He plays a few bars and says there’s a truth that follows him around the world, but the three in the ring can’t get that WWE stands for walk with Elias through their thick skulls.

The Drifter says he can’t think of anything worse than Corbin as full-time GM, and even Lio Rush would be better despite violating child labor laws. Drake Maverick would be better and he pissed himself! But tonight isn’t about Corbin, it’s about Bobby Trashley, who he wrote a little song about. His song questions why he has Rush point at his butt and how Lashley sucks, in a very Adam Sandler-y vein.

He makes for the ring and we go to break on the promise of a match.
