Welcome to the Raw review for November 26, 2018. For this and Smackdown, I will go over the talking points and pick the match of the night.
The Right Side of History
Baron Corbin had a lot to be thankful for. Braun Strowman is out for elbow surgery (the size of that bruise was a monster of it’s own) and their match at TLC was still on. Corbin began to call himself General Manger Elect and said that those in the back must decide what side of history they are on. With backup like Bobby Lashley and Drew McIntyre, it seems that no one can stand up to him. Elias tried and was beaten down. Corbin excels in this role and who will be the one to become the face of the resistance?
Little Miss Bliss
Alexia Bliss might be out of in ring action, but kudos to Raw for keeping her in the mix. Corbin has made her in charge of the women’s division on Raw. Bliss proceeded to abuse this power by setting Bayley and Sasha Banks to be beaten down. The two best friends were able to turn the tide and remain tall. Bliss did not look like she was out of ideas yet. Keeping Bliss is a goldmine, as she excels on the microphone and can be the authority figure when Stephanie McMahon is not available.
Vendetta
Finn Balor wanted no part of being on the right side of history, and fought Corbin in the main event of the night. Corbin is still a fantastic wrestler, everything he does looks like it hurts. When te match started to get out of hand, Corbin made it a 2 on 1 handicap with McIntyre. Balor fought, but it was simply too much. After the match, Lashley joined in hurting Balor. A good spot for Lashley, a great on for Corbin and a fantastic one for McIntyre.
Match of the Night
Seth Rollins vs. Dolph Ziggler (Rollins wins by pinfall)
A look back at one of the summer’s best feuds. The open challenge by Rollins was answered by Ziggler who surprisingly went it alone. What followed was no run ins and no tricks. Just two of the best in the sport putting on a clinic for everyone to see. Rollins might be chasing bigger gold sooner then later, but his rivalry with Ziggler has been one of the midcards very bright spots.
Conclusion
Lucha House Party beat The Revival. AOP won back a match against Bobby Roode and Chad Gable. Ember Moon beat Alicia Fox. Jinder Mahl beat No Way Jose.
