The latest edition of WWE Monday Night Raw for November 12, 2018 took place at the Sprint Center in Kansas City, MO.
Here is a recap of the most noteworthy highlights from this episode for those who may have missed it:
— Raw kicks off with a battle royal to determine who the captains are for the tag team elimination match, but it quickly dissolves when Braun Strowman decimates everyone. He sets up a chair in the middle of the ring and says he isn't leaving until Baron Corbin gets these hands. Stephanie McMahon tells him he needs to make sure Raw wins at Survivor Series. Braun Strowman doesn't care about that. He wants another Universal Championship shot and he wants a match against Baron Corbin where he picks the stipulation. Stephanie agrees, but Strowman has to agree to keep his hands off Corbin. He threatens that if that doesn't happen, he'll destroy all of WWE Headquarters. Ronda Rousey interrupts for basically no reason, then Corbin comes out to reiterate that Raw needs to win. He gets tossed by Ronda, who leaves. Strowman then tells Corbin that he's going to neuter him.
— Tamina defeated Ember Moon by pinfall
— A video package recaps the Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins storyline. Corey Graves interviews Rollins in the ring. Ambrose appears on the TitanTron to explain that The Shield made him weak and throws his vest into the flames of a burning trash can.
— Drew McIntyre, alongside Dolph Ziggler, cuts a promo on his match with Kurt Angle last week and how he humiliated him. Finn Balor interrupts and after they trade verbal jabs and Balor challenges McIntyre to a match, Drew volunteers Ziggler to have the match instead before headbutting Balor.
— Finn Balor defeated Dolph Ziggler by pinfall
— Ruby Riott (accompanied by Sarah Logan and Liv Morgan) cuts a promo on how she enjoyed breaking Jim "The Anvil" Neidhart's sunglasses. Natalya comes out and goes on the attack, but the numbers game catches up to her and The Riott Squad stands tall.
— Bobby Roode and Chad Gable win the battle royal (attempt #2) to become the captains of Team Raw for the 10-on-10 Tag Team Elimination Match for Survivor Series. The other teams are The Lucha House Party, The B-Team, The Ascension and The Revival, meaning the only tag team left out of the mix is Heath Slater and Rhyno.
— Paul Heyman cuts a promo with Brock Lesnar standing there, per usual. Jinder Mahal interrupts to talk about how AJ Styles beat him last year and stopped him from having a match against Lesnar, so he wants to help with Lesnar's meditation tactics. Lesnar allows it, but quickly destroys Mahal and The Singh Brothers.
— Bobby Lashley defeated Elias by count-out (due to Lio Rush's interference) to become the final member of Team Raw for the men's elimination match.
— Alexa Bliss reveals the women's team for Survivor Series, which will consist of Mickie James, Natalya, Nia Jax, Tamina and the winner of Bayley vs. Sasha Banks.
— Bayley vs. Sasha Banks ends in a no-contest when Nia Jax and Tamina attack both of them. Alexa Bliss then announces that Ruby Riott is the last member of the team.
— Backstage, Ronda Rousey was jumped by Becky Lynch, who heads out to the ring and calls on the rest of the SmackDown women's division to go on the attack. The rest of the Raw women come out and the brawl continues with SmackDown on top (and Becky with a bloody nose). Ronda Rousey comes out and gets hit with a chair by Becky.
