Prediction: In the midst of the men's traditional elimination match, Braun Strowman is counted out because he's too focused on Baron Corbin's attempt to stop Stephanie McMahon's promise. In the same show, it's then revealed that Braun and Baron will collide at TLC, with Strowman getting a Universal Title shot should he win.

Why It's Likely: The Wrestling Observer reported this week that Brock Lesnar is likely to skip next month's TLC pay-per-view. That leaves a slot open on the Raw side, and Braun vs. Baron is the most realistic filler. Yes, it seems this feud will drag on for another month or so.

WWE might decide to have Braun fire out the challenge at Survivor Series then have a furious Steph demand that Corbin face the music. Raw doesn't need to lose the match for this to happen; McMahon can instead be incensed that Baron's agenda against Strowman almost cost her side victory.
