The latest episode of WWE "Raw" arrived one night after the latest "TLC: Tables, Ladders & Chairs" pay-per-view event. During the big PPV, fans saw Alexa Bliss retain the women's title and Enzo Amore win back the Cruiserweight title. Also, Finn Balor defeated AJ Styles in their dream match, while Kurt Angle helped Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose defeated The Miz, Sheamus, Cesaro, Kane, and Braun Strowman in a 3-on-5 TLC match.
"Raw" GM Kurt Angle came out to start the latest episode and talked up last night's battle at "TLC." He also boasted of the upcoming "Survivor Series" and said there will be champion versus champion matches.
These will include Jinder Mahal vs. Brock Lesnar, Alexa Bliss vs. Natalya, The Miz vs. Baron Corbin, and the team of Rollins and Ambrose vs. The Usos.
The Miz came out with Sheamus, Cesaro, and Curtis Axel. Miz complied about Angle replacing Reigns at "TLC" rather than letting it be a 2-on-5. They surrounded the ring, but Ambrose and Rollins arrived down to the ring and joined Angle. The "Raw" GM booked a six-man tag and announced that Rollins and Ambrose will team with AJ Styles, next.

He choke-slammed Rollins and threw Ambrose to ringside.
Kane defeated Finn Balor via pinfall. The match took place after a commercial break with Kane still in the ring saying now that Strowman's gone, he wants competition or else. Finn answered the challenge. Kane won in about seven minutes after hitting several chokeslams to get the pin.
They had a segment of Kurt Angle and "SmackDown" Commissioner Shane McMahon talking over which brand's team will win at "Survivor Series."

Paul Heyman and Brock Lesnar came to the ring. Heyman did all the talking and called Jinder Mahal the "make believe Maharaja." He reminded Mahal that the last time a "SmackDown" star got in the ring with Brock it didn't go so well. That was Randy Orton and they had to stop the match. At the end of his promo, Heyman accepted Jinder's challenge on behalf of The Beast.
Alicia Fox defeated Sasha Banks and Bayley via pinfall. The winner of the match got to be team captain for Team Raw at "Survivor Series." The finish saw Fox escape from Sasha's Bank Statement.

After the match, "Raw" General Manager Kurt Angle was shown walking backstage ahead of a commercial break. It was reported by the commentators that he'd reveal who will be on Team "Raw" for the "Survivor Series" match.
Before Angle could start to make an announcement of who is on Team "Raw," Shane McMahon's music hit and he came out to interrupt with a bunch of the "SmackDown" superstars that he led through the crowd. Shane got in the ring with Angle as the rest of the superstars surrounded it. He told Angle he was "under siege."
Angle left the ring and went up to the stage, then backstage. Shane ordered his superstars to "go get him." Various "SmackDown" stars were shown attacking "Raw" roster members backstage. "SmackDown" women's stars beat up "Raw" women's stars backstage. Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose were attacked and beat up.
Eventually, Baron Corbin and Rusev were able to get Kurt Angle and brought him down to the ring for Shane.
Shane told Kurt to bring his gold medal, what's left of his roster and they'll finish what they just started. He told Angle, "Oh it's true, it's damn true." Shane's music hit again as he led the "SmackDown" superstars back into the crowd and out of the arena. Angle was shown standing in the ring looking shocked as "Raw" went off TV.
