Tonight, we are in for what should be a stacked show as the beast, the Universal Champion, Brock Lesnar, an individual many did not expect to see until January, is scheduled to return to television and will respond to a challenge issued by WWE Champion Jinder Mahal this past Tuesday on SmackDown. 

In addition to that, there is breaking news. The entire SmackDown roster is on hand for Raw which today is taking place in Green Bay, Wisconsin. Considering they are all there, it should be expected that many of them will turn up on tonight's show. 

Also in store this evening, we will see what is next for Braun Strowman, as his team turned on him and ended up stuffing him in a garbage truck after a Kane chokeslam and Kane literally burying him in a pile of chairs.

With the entire WWE locker room on hand, I have no doubt this will be a good show.

Hopefully WWE just slowly starts that thing where they call it a "supershow" where talent just shows up whenever and wherever and eventually the brand split just kind of ends and titles merge. Just on the creative side of things, I don't think WWE has enough story to keep both brands going. Smackdown is the B show already, no harm in making it go back to it's irrelevant self. Also use the NXT format of every other week give us a new face. Like one week AJ styles is on, the next week he is off and Finn Balor is in his place. One week Jinder is there as champion and the next week it's The Miz as the feature. They don't over expose anybody this way and every week things feel fresh, nobody loses anything off an angle because the longest they are off tv is one week. Maybe you have a red hot angle or superstar you feature them a bit more, no harm there. It's how I would book WWE if I were calling the shots.

Anyways yeah, I feel pumped for that Eagles/Redskins game.lol. oh yeah and I'll catch raw to. I can usually fit an entire episode of Raw in before the football game is even over.

I would suggest it's the build towards Survivor Series.

Lot of heel single champions right now. They probably should work on that.

The RAW vs. SmackDown Survivor Series already looks pretty good on paper.

BTW, the theme, The Greatest Show on Earth by Kid Rock, is probably his best work in a decade.

They've got to bring back The Nexus next.

AJ'S BACK FOR AN ENCORE!!!

Why is Dec SD PPV titled ' Clash of Champions' when clearly that what Survivor Series is ??

Same deal with Night of Champions with every belt on the line (like most PPVs). Best not to think too much about names.

There's a PPV called Great Balls of Fire and last night's PPV was TLC with exactly 1 TLC matches.  Clearly, titles are not their strong suit.

Clash of Champions is an awesome title in comparison. 

EDIT: What Ness said.

RAW should be double boxed like SmackDown.

I can't remember the last time a Raw match went this long.

That was a great way to start the show. Nice match.

And then there's Kane...

Without that fire, Kane is just nothing now.

I tell yea, Kane would be the one guy who could convince the fans to cheer for Roman.

Totally expected Braun to come out.

Kane being booked this strong is a fucking joke.

Raw giveth with that opening and it taketh away with trying to present Kane as a threat in 2017.

Oh good. I thought Finn legit wrecked up his knee or quad last night.

Kane -_-

Finn fights AJ as demon and Kane as normal. Yeah, makes total sense.

Demon was promised against Bray.  Can't disappoint.  

Or maybe Finn is hurt, and Kane was just there to finish (write) him off.

Yep. We're gonna get these cameos for the next month.

Is Kurt high? SD consistently beats RAW in my eyes.

Raw won two out of three last year. But Smackdown won the mens/mainevent so I guess that is all that matters. But hey if they want to call it a Smackdown win I am all for it since last year Smackdown was the clear superior brand.

Ah, a rematch with Emma, I see. I bet this will be way more one-sided this time.

Wha'd I miss so far? Anything good?

Booker is insufferable.

AJ was back for one more match.  A six man with Dean and Seth vs. Miz & The Bar.

First 30 minutes were pretty good, decent Kurt promo followed by a 6 man tag that's worth a look. 

Feel free to skip after that until Asuka vs Emma II
