WWE Monday Night RAW Live Results: Last Show Before Survivor Series

It's the final WWE Monday Night RAW before the Survivor Series pay-per-view and the main show is looking to get its representatives set for this Sunday's show.

While the Men's Survivor Series team is almost set (there are two spots remaining), not one woman on the RAW side has been selected for their big match against SmackDown. Team Captain, Alexa Bliss will select her five RAW superstars to compete this Sunday but who would they be?

WWE.com is also promoting an appearance by Commissioner Stephanie McMahon who will talk about her brother's "win" in the World Cup at the Crown Jewel pay-per-view. What will Steph say to Shane about his actions and taking the title of "best in the world" away from Monday Night RAW?

Universal Champion, Brock Lesnar is also scheduled to appear tonight before his match against WWE Champion AJ Styles. The two will clash for the second time after last year's Survivor Series bout that saw Lesnar put down Styles in a very entertaining match.

There's a lot expected to go down on the Nov. 12 episode of RAW so here's everything that happened.
