My expectation was so low that I was caught off guard by how good Monday Night RAW was.

Drew McIntyre Opens The Program Before His WWE Championship Match Later That Night.
Drew McIntyre is thankful for his family as well his fans, his doubters because next week is Thanksgiving after all.
Randy Orton chimed in via the titantron, saying that he's thankful for winning the WWE championship 14 times.
Orton is also thankful for he's been fined by WWE for putting his hands on Adam Pearce last week due to how he's been suspended more times than ever in his career.
The Miz and the formerly Johnny Nitro, basically told Drew McIntyre that Miz will cash in once Drew or Randy wins.
This segment was okay. It didn't do much to enhance any excitement for the WWE championship match.
Asuka, Mandy Rose And Dana Brooke vs Lana, Shayna Baszler And Nia Jax.
Before the match, Shayna Baszler and Nia Jax warned Lana to stay out of their way.
Lana didn't listen to the tag champs' orders as she tagged Shayna as soon as Shayna locked in the Kirifuda clutch on Asuka.
The consequence was a tap out from Lana thanks to the Asuka lock.
Nia Jax then complimented Lana for her performance to which she put Lana through the table for the 9th time because SIKE! The match was fine.
AJ Styles was railing up team RAW as the captain.
What's funny about this segment is that we got to hear AJ Styles' associate speak and Styles' reaction was priceless.
Dana Brooke was attacked by Mia Y……...I mean, Reckoning. Okay?
So. The Firefly funhouse happened and in it, Bray Wyatt challenged The Miz to a match.
The New Day vs Shelton Benjamin And Cedric Alexander For The RAW Tag Team Championship.
By the way, Kofi Kingston calling MVP's full name as Montel Vontavious Porte made me chuckle for some reason.
Anywho, the match was fun. That spinebuster from Shelton Benjamin to Xavier Woods was Bru. Tal.
After a fantastic back and forth between two solid tag teams, The New Day successfully retained the red tag belts with the daybreak on Cedric Alexander.
Guys, I know pretty much all of you do not watch RAW but guys, go out of your way to watch this match because this was one hell of a fight.
In another backstage segment, Sheamus gave Drew McIntyre some blast of the past by giving Drew his old gear.
I appreciate how a babyface like Drew McIntyre interacted with a heel like Sheamus in a natural way.
It just makes this obviously genuine since they've known each other since they were rivals back in their independent wrestling days.
Keith Lee, Riddle, Braun Strowman And Sheamus vs Retribution.
The Survivor Series RAW Men's team didn't get along but at least Retribution actually won a match, right?
The match itself was aight though.
Elias and Jeff Hardy are still feuding over who attacked Elias. Cool.
Bray Wyatt vs The Miz.
The Miz wanted to put his beef with Bray Wyatt behind him by offering the guy to interfere in the WWE championship match.
Out came Alexa Bliss (with a kick-ass remix of her theme song) and she said, "no".
Nikki Cross showed up to help Alexa Bliss. Bliss' response was a slap on Nikki that led to a brawl between those two women.
The match concluded with a W from Bray Wyatt but then The Fiend's music hit.
That jump from Bliss to John Morrison was GIF worthy. The encounter itself was decent.
Adam Pearce has announced that Mandy Rose and Dana Brooke aren't medically cleared to compete in the traditional women's Survivor Series match.
The two people that replaced them are Lacey Evans and Peyton Royce. Cool.
Angel Garza made a metaphor of how the roses in the garden are like the women and Garza as the thorn that protects their beauty.
Nia Jax said to Shayna Baszler that bringing in Lacey Evans and Peyton Royce on the women's RAW Survivor Series Team is the worst idea since Quibi.
Quibi was bad but Google Stadia though? Sheesh!
Drew McIntyre vs Randy Orton For The WWE Championship.
The Scotsmen regained the WWE championship in a fine main event contest.
While I'm glad that Drew won back the WWE championship, the question is, why did Randy win the title in the first place?
It's almost as if they knew what they're going to do with a 14 title reign for the viper, right (if you can't tell, that was sarcasm)?
So, to recap for all of you slow mofos.
Like: The New Day vs Shelton Benjamin And Cedric Alexander, Drew and Sheamus interaction, that Alexa Bliss jump on John Morrison, AJ Styles' reaction when his associate spoke.
Didn't like: The win from Randy at Hell In A Cell is a waste.
