Monday Night Raw opens with one final look back at SmackDown Live invading Raw, then the following week when Bryan came to Raw and got attacked by Kane, and finally last week when The New Day appeared and cost The Shield the Tag Team Titles.
We go live to the arena and Stephanie McMahon’s music hits, the Commissioner makes her way to the ring.
Stephanie welcomes us to Monday Night Raw. She says as the Commissioner of Monday Night Raw she has to make massive decisions that affect the entire Raw brand, decisions so large that the fans couldn’t possibly understand. With that in mind, she needs great leaders to help, and that leads her to introducing the Raw General Manager and the leader of Team Raw at Survivor Series, Kurt Angle.
Angle comes to the ring and he says he knows she is disappointed but he was 100% prepared for SmackDown’s raid last week. She says she isn’t disappointed, she’s just confused as to how The New Day found their way into the building. Plus there was no raid, and thus Shane outplayed Kurt again. She says she could put together a compilation of him being outplayed. Stephanie asks Kurt who the fifth member of Team Raw is, the man who he sees as the valuable fifth member of Team Raw, to which Angle answers Jason Jordan.
She makes him say that Jordan is his son and explain why he is fit to be on Team Raw, to which Angle says he is more than capable. Stephanie then points out that John Cena was the fifth member of Team SmackDown, and that’s a lot more impressive. She says Cena either was snubbed in favour of Jordan, or he chose SmackDown Live because he was so embarrassed to be on Kurt’s team. Stephanie asks Kurt what his plan is for Survivor Series. Angle says he will start the match and break Shane’s ankle, if he has the balls to start the match with him. Stephanie says that this isn’t the 90’s and she doesn’t think Kurt is capable of breaking anybody’s ankle anymore. She says that he has gone soft. She and her family put faith in Angle and they want Shane’s head on a platter, but Kurt doesn’t seem capable. She makes it sound like she is about to fire Angle when…
Roman Reigns is back and the fans are excited for The Shield in full force! The trio are in the ring and Ambrose says to Steph that there is no better leader than Kurt Angle. Ambrose says that Angle proved himself at TLC, and the crowd reward him with a “You Still Got It” chant. She asks The Shield where the Tag Team Titles are, then says that they lost the belts because of Kurt Angle. She goes on to say The New Day made fools out of them, then she asks Roman Reigns where he has been for a month.
Reigns grabs the mic and flips the question on Stephanie, where has she been for the past six months. He says she got put through a table at WrestleMania and hasn’t been seen since, to which Seth Rollins takes a step back and looks shifty, Roman then corrects himself and says Triple H put her through a table. He says she clearly has forgotten how things run, because they don’t do what she wants. Roman says that it’s pretty simple, at Survivor Series, they will beat The New Day’s asses, then Angle will lead Team Raw to victory. He drops the mic and their music plays.
Later tonight, Brock Lesnar responds to his new Survivor Series opponent, and The Shield will be in action, but up next a women’s Triple Threat to determine the final member of Alicia Fox’s Team Raw.

We return and find the other four members of Raw’s women’s team at Survivor Series standing at ringside, waiting to see who their final partner is.
Mickie James Vs. Dana Brooke Vs. Bayley
The bell rings and all of the women do a three-way test of strength. James kicks and takes them both down. James attacks Brooke, only for Bayley to return and attack James. Brooke makes a comeback and tries to take them both out, but it backfires. Bayley is knocked to ringside as we head to commercial.
*Commercial Break*
We return to see Bayley hit Dana and Mickie with back body drops. She then throws Dana between the ropes and hits her with a spinning neck breaker onto the ropes. Mickie fights back against Bayley and goes to the top rope. After a quick struggle with Bayley, Mickie hits a seated senton and pins Bayley, only for Brooke to make the save.
Mickie and Dana go back and forth but Mickie gets the best of it, then Bayley returns and eats a neckbreaker. Dana Brooke takes out Mickie but gets thrown from the ring. Asuka tries to help her up but Dana pushes her away, then elbows Asuka, who chases her around ringside and hits a big spin kick to take out Brooke.
Inside the ring, Mickie and Bayley exchange a series of reversals until Bayley hits the Bayley-To-Bayley, and scores the win!
Winner: Bayley
Bayley is the official fifth member of Team Raw at Survivor Series, which now consists of Bayley, Nia Jax, Sasha Banks, Asuka, and leader Alicia Fox.
The announcers talk-up the Survivor Series matches, as well as the new episode of WWE 24 on the WWE Network tonight. We see Drew Gulak and Enzo Amore making their way to the ring, next!
*Commercial Break*
Enzo Amore and Drew Gulak make their way to the ring. Enzo does his usual shtick, and Gulak says he’s doing fine. At Survivor Series, he’s defending his Cruiserweight Championship against Tostito Kalisto. He’s fighting for the future of 205 Live. Enzo then turns the microphone over to Gulak, who is then immediately interrupted by Kalisto’s music. He isn’t happy.
Kalisto & Akira Tozawa Vs. Drew Gulak & Enzo Amore
Drew Gulak starts the match against Kalisto. Akira Tozawa is immediately tagged in. Gulak apparently hates chanting in arenas. Gulak takes him down and applies a side headlock. Enzo blind tags in and blindsides Tozawa. They send Tozawa into the ropes, but he ducks an attack. Kalisto tags in and hits a springboard dropkick on them, sending them both from the ring.
*Commercial Break*
We come back from the break to see Gulak applying a neck vice to Tozawa. Tozawa fights up and punches out, but Gulak stops the tag. Tozawa viciously forearms and kicks away from him. Gulak still prevents the tag. Tozawa spikes him on his head with a swinging back suplex.
Enzo and Kalisto are tagged in. Kalisto hits a springboard seated senton and knocks Gulak off the apron. Kalisto goes to the apron and kicks Enzo before hitting a springboard cross-body block. Gulak runs in and accidentally elbows Enzo. Tozawa tags in and hits Gulak with a missile dropkick before being thrown out of the ring. Tozawa then kills Enzo with a suicide dive. Kalisto then hits Gulak with a springboard summersault senton.
Tozawa gets Enzo in the ring and kicks him in the head. Tozawa goes to the top rope, but Gulak pulls him out of the way. Kalisto hits Gulak with another summersault senton. Enzo capitalizes on all these distractions by sending Tozawa into Kalisto and hitting a JawdonZo for the win.
Winners: Enzo Amore & Drew Gulak
We see The Miz, Bo Dallas, and Curtis Axel on their way to the ring for Miz TV.
