WWE Crown Jewel is over (thankfully) but the results of the Saudi Arabia show will be felt on Monday Night RAW as the company moves toward Survivor Series.
Brock Lesnar won back the vacant Universal Champion after pinning Braun Strowman. RAW General Manager, Baron Corbin had a big part in Strowman's defeat after clocking the "Monster Among Men" with the belt before the bell rang. How will Strowman react on Monday night? Is Corbin safe?
The Survivor Series card currently has AJ Styles taking on Lesnar, Seth Rollins vs Shinsuke Nakamura, and Ronda Rousey against Becky Lynch as the scheduled matches. Rousey will come out on RAW tonight to respond to Becky's trash talk as the road to the brand vs brand pay-per-view begins.
Dean Ambrose's heel turn on Seth Rollins was the talk of the show for the past couple of weeks, but their current reign as RAW Tag Team Champions may be over before it can even begin. What does the future hold for the titles if the current champs aren't on the same page?
This episode of Monday Night RAW was already taped in Manchester, UK so the results of the show in full. If you don't want to know what happened on RAW before it airs in the states turn away now.
Here's everything that happened on the Nov. 5 episode of Monday Night RAW.
