Randy Orton defeated Drew McIntyre at the Hell In A Cell pay-per-view to become WWE Champion once again. On next week’s RAW which is the final RAW before Survivor Series, Randy Orton will defend the WWE Title against McIntyre. The winner walks into Survivor Series to face the current Universal Champion Roman Reigns.

Another title match is scheduled for the 11/16 RAW as New Day (Kofi Kingston & Xavier Woods) put their RAW Tag Team Titles on the line against Cedric Alexander and Shelton Benjamin of The Hurt Business. As of this writing, New Day is scheduled to face SmackDown Tag Team Champions The Street Profits at Survivor Series.

Matt Riddle was victorious in a second chance Triple-Threat match to earn his way onto RAW’s Survivor Series team. Riddle defeated Jeff Hardy and Elias and he’ll now join AJ Styles, Sheamus, Braun Strowman and Keith Lee on Team RAW.

Lana took a table bump for the eighth week in a row. On the first attempt, Mandy Rose and Dana Brooke prevented Nia Jax from doing so but later in the show after Nia’s match against Asuka, Lana was put through a table once again.

Bobby Lashley also defended his United States Title on RAW and defeated Titus O’Neil in quick fashion to retain the gold. Lashley will meet Intercontinental Champion Sami Zayn at Survivor Series.
