It was the go-home episode of WWE Monday Night Raw ahead of the final pay-per-view of the year but there wasn't a feeling of urgency about last night's show, instead, Finn Balor and Braun Strowman were missing from the show, just days before huge matches as part of TLC: Tables, Ladders and Chairs.

Seth Rollins and General Manager Elect were the two main stars of the episode as they collided in the first TLC match on Raw in six years, whilst Chad Gable and Bobby Roode were shockingly able to overcome the odds of a three-on-two handicap match to win the Raw Tag Team Championships from AOP.

Whilst this was a notable episode of the show, there were also a fair few slip-ups throughout that eagle-eyed members of the WWE Universe were able to spot.


#1 Seth Rollins' stutter

Seth Rollins and Baron Corbin kicked off the show this week ahead of two huge matches at TLC, where Rollins defends his Intercontinental Championship against Dean Ambrose and Corbin takes on Braun Strowman in a match that could determine whether or not his tenure as General Manager will continue.

Rollins address Ambrose before he called out General Manager Baron Corbin and then went on a lengthy rant about how it was Corbin's fault that the ratings were down because the segments on Raw were laughable and superstars who deserved chances weren't given them.

In the middle of this, Rollins tripped over his words when talking about Brock Lesnar, which could either be foreshadowing or the fact that Rollins was trying to remember what his lines were at the same time as delivering them. This was a lengthy promo from both men to open Raw, and it was easily one of Rollins' best promos despite the slip-up.

#2 Sasha Banks Meteora

Sasha Banks has been delivering a Meteora to opponents ever since she made her way to the main roster, but this week on Raw she decided to get involved to help her best friend Bayley to fend off the likes of Samir and Sunil Singh at ringside/ Bayley took on Alicia Fox just a day before the two women collided once again in the Mixed Match Challenge Semi-Final, but Jinder Mahal and The Singh Brothers decided to join her at ringside.

Banks waited for Apollo Crews' assistance before she jumped off the side of the apron and delivered the move, but she didn't quite lock her legs which meant that Sunil ended up being kneed straight in the head instead.

Banks has quite a reputation for botching at least one move in each match, but interestingly, she wasn't even in a match last night and was still able to mess up one of her signature moves.

#1 Dolph Ziggler over rotates

Drew McIntyre collided with Dolph Ziggler last night on Raw, just a week after he lost his first match in over a year to The Showoff and even though McIntyre was able to pick up the win, there was one interesting spot that has got the WWE Universe talking.

McIntyre always delivers an over-the-shoulder Belly to Back piledriver, it's become one of his signature moves, but last night on Raw, Ziggler took the move and over-rotated as he came down which meant that he landed on his kidneys and his head then ricocheted off the canvas and looked as though it could have given him whiplash.

Ziggler recovered quickly, but the spot looked messy and Ziggler looked like he was genuinely hurt from it, which could be why his superkick later in the match effectively came to nothing.
