Lana went one-on-one with Nia Jax on the 12/14 edition of Monday Night RAW. Lana picked up the win over Jax and post-match, Lana was ambushed by Shayna Baszler and Jax. RAW Women’s Champion Asuka ran in and made the save but the damage was done which led to the announcement of Lana being pulled from the Women’s Tag Team Title match at TLC. Asuka will be teaming with a new partner at the event.

Lana’s significant other Miro tweeted out a joke about Lana’s win over Nia.

Randy Orton welcomed Bray Wyatt to play a game of “hide and go seek”. Orton lured Wyatt into a room and ended up tossing him into a crate. Orton set the crate on fire and seconds later, emerging from the crate was ‘The Fiend’ who choked Orton out ahead of their match at TLC.

In early November, Mandy Rose suffered a legitimate shoulder injury that led to her being taken off TV. She returned to RAW tonight to save her partner Dana Brooke from a post-match attack by Nia Jax and Shayna Baszler.

The duo of Jaxson Ryker and Elias that first appeared on ‘Main Event’ had a segment on RAW. Ryker and Elias were interrupted by the 24/7 chasers that were coming after R-Truth. Jaxson laid out several at ringside including Gran Metalik with a powerbomb.

Keith Lee took on John Morrison and Mr. Money In The Bank The Miz in a Handicap match. Miz and Morrison were able to score a win over Lee after a series of double team combinations. Also, to open RAW, Cesaro, AJ Styles and The Miz acted out a scene titled ‘The Nightmare Before TLC’.

John Pollock and Wai Ting are recording a new episode of Rewind-A-RAW and their review of tonight’s show can be found here.
