WWE Monday Night RAW Live Results: Who Will Step Up to Baron Corbin?

The Nov. 26 episode of WWE's Monday Night RAW was one of the worst this year, but the company continues to build stories heading into its Tables, Ladders and Chair pay-per-view on Dec. 16.

Baron Corbin is running Monday Night RAW with an iron fist, and he's drawn a line in the sand. If you're not going to back him as the General Manager of RAW, then you're against him. And that means you'll have to deal with him, Bobby Lashley and Drew McIntyre. With Braun Strowman on the shelf after elbow surgery, is there anyone on the RAW roster who can stop him?

The feud between Dean Ambrose and Intercontinental Champion Seth Rollins continues to heat up as "The Lunatic Fringe" comes to Houston after not showing up last week in Milwaukee. You know Rollins won't be too far behind, so expect more fireworks between the two former SHIELD brothers before their title match at TLC.

According to WWE.com, RAW Women's Champion Ronda Rousey will be in tag team action tonight with her friend Natalia against Nia Jax and Tamina. Jax continues to brag about pushing Ronda to the limit in their match at Money in the Bank earlier this year, so this will be a good chance for them to size each other up before their title match in a couple of weeks.

However, with Natalya's continued feud with The Riott Squad, Ruby Riott, Liv Morgan and Sarah Logan won't be far behind.

Here's everything that happened on the Dec. 3 episode of Monday Night RAW.
