Here’s What to Expect From Tonight’s Raw

Survivor Series was very surprising and frequently very entertaining, and given the degree to which people are talking about it I think it’s fair to call the pay-per-view a success.

Tonight’s episode broadcasts from the Air Canada Centre in Toronto, the same arena that just hosted NXT Takeover and Survivor Series, so expect the same raucous crowd that made those two shows so memorable. It broadcasts as always live on the USA Network at 8PM Eastern/7PM Central.

The big story tonight will be the shocking victory of Goldberg over Brock Lesnar in under two minutes. WWE is advertising a “farewell” from Goldberg on tonight’s show, but given reports that the superstar has signed a longer WWE contract, this likely will not be a goodbye from the big man.

We’re hearing that Brock Lesnar is not scheduled to appear on tonight’s show. If the Beast Incarnate intends to take revenge for his embarrassing loss, it will be further down the line.

A Tag Team Title match has already been booked for tonight’s show. The New Day–the first Raw team eliminated from the 10-on-10 tag match at Survivor Series–will defend their championship against sole survivors Cesaro and Sheamus. The New Day is creeping ever closer to the record tag team championship reign, but it seems they’ve lost every recent non-title match they’ve competed in. Could it be time for Cesaro and Sheamus to capture the gold–er, bronze?

WWE is also promoting the continued feud between Bayley and Charlotte for tonight’s show, with the Women’s Champion having delivered a beatdown to Miss Hug Life after last night’s match. Seth Rollins is expected to address his loss last night, after the powers-that-be on Raw set their reservations aside to put him on the team.

Perhaps most importantly of all, Jericho will address the horrifying actions taken against the List last night.

We’ll have live coverage of the show tonight, so stick with us for all the details as they happen!
