The 11/23 episode of Monday Night RAW was the post-Survivor Series episode of the show and it kicked off the build to the TLC pay-per-view on December 20th. The TLC event will take place inside of Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg, Florida. The WWE Championship is scheduled to be defended on the show as the current champion Drew McIntyre has one of three opponents to look forward to facing at the event. It’ll either be AJ Styles, Riddle or Keith Lee challenging him.
Lee, Riddle and Styles won their respective singles matches on RAW to earn their way into a Triple-Threat that’ll take place next week. The winner secures themselves a WWE Title opportunity at TLC. AJ beat Randy Orton, Keith Lee defeated Bobby Lashley via DQ and Riddle defeated Sheamus.
Lana got her shot at the RAW Women’s Championship on the show. Her match was thrown out because Nia Jax and Shayna Baszler brawled with the champion Asuka on the outside. This led to an impromptu tag team match being set up in-which Asuka and Lana beat the Women’s Tag Team Champions.
