This week's edition of WWE Monday Night RAW (19th November 2018) saw a lot of contrasting moments from Seth Rollins chasing Dean Ambrose throughout the entire arena to Ronda Rousey issuing an open challenge to the entire RAW Womens' Locker Room.
However, there are always a few subtle moments that the audiences might overlook due to WWE's weekly schedule of programming. Make sure to send in your thoughts in the comments section below if you want to point out other obscure & interesting moments from this week's RAW.
With Survivor Series 2018 being well past us at this point in time, here are a few moments that you might have missed from the 19th November 2018 edition of Monday Night RAW...
#1: The first match and segment of the night lasted more than 50 minutes
Last night's show kicked-off with Acting General Manager Baron Corbin & RAW Commissioner Stephanie McMahon celebrating their clean sweep victory over SmackDown Live during Survivor Series 2018.
This celebration was quickly interrupted by Braun Strowman, and McMahon granted Strowman his match against Corbin at TLC in December with the stipulation being that Corbin would become permanent GM of RAW if he wins. However, if Strowman would go on to win this match, then The Monster Among Men was guaranteed a Universe Title shot against Brock Lesnar at next year's Royal Rumble.
This particular segment led into a six-man elimination tag team match, which would go on to fill about an hour's worth of Monday Night RAW.
Not only did the match end in a no-contest, it seems as if a Pay-Per-View match against Baron Corbin is nothing but a roadblock in front of Braun Strowman's path to glory. Moreover, this also indicates that there was not a whole lot of material written for this week's edition of RAW (except the Rollins-Ambrose bit), given the lengthiness of the opening sequences.

#2: WWE retcons the only SmackDown Live victory from Survivor Series 2018
In a previous article regarding some moments you may have missed from Survivor Series 2018, we learned that The Usos were not supposed to win their tag team elimination match for SmackDown Live during the Survivor Series Preshow.
Therefore, WWE did not count that win in the overall RAW vs. SmackDown Live scorecard for the entire night.
However, during last night's RAW, Stephanie McMahon might have confirmed that WWE wants us to forget about The Usos actually winning a match for SmackDown Live.
She continuously insisted on the fact that RAW had a clean sweep victory over SmackDown, and most importantly, she also said, "SmackDown didn't beat us once", which easily suggests that SmackDown Live's Preshow win has been officially retconned by the WWE...
#3: Braun Strowman's TLC match in jeopardy?
Baron Corbin, Bobby Lashley, and Drew McIntyre obliterated Braun Strowman on last night's show. Judging by what everyone saw, the attack looked very brutal indeed, and now we have learned that Braun Strowman will undergo surgery following a heinous beatdown.
This might be a little worrying to hear about, as Strowman has already been announced for a TLC match, and there are plans for him to face Brock Lesnar at next year's Royal Rumble as well.
Here are Dave Meltzer's quotes on the following matter:
"Well, I guess the biggest news is that Braun Strowman is going to have elbow surgery so the deal tonight was a cover for that. He has bone spurs in the elbow that they ‘destroyed’ was the one that he has bone spurs in.”
“It’s not a bad deal, obviously his elbow was not shattered. It’s touch and go whether he’ll be in San Jose for the match with Baron Corbin, the TLC match they announced. I guess it depends on the seriousness of the surgery.”
“The belief is he’s fine for the Royal Rumble with Brock Lesnar which they also announced surprisingly announced that match tonight. So that is the plan. So that’s the deal of what’s going on with Strowman, why they did what they did.”
