7 Ups And 8 Downs From Last Night's WWE Raw (Nov 14)

If you were looking for an explosive Raw to head into the 30th annual Survivor Series, then you probably only needed to tune in for the last half-hour Monday night.

Last week, Raw gave us a series of “get it out of your system” matches, pitting Survivor Series teammates against each other.

The result was mixed, with some partners gelling well, and others predictably coming to blows.

But the highlight for Monday Night Raw came during a main event promo that saw Team Raw and Team SmackDown square off, jawing at each other first to build tension before devolving into the predictable brawl. But even to get there, we had to endure the ongoing McMahon family rivalry, with Shane and Stephanie lecturing each other while GMs Daniel Bryan and Mick Foley sparred a little as well.
