This week's episode of Monday Night RAW began the build-up to next month's Survivor Series event in epic fashion. The Women's Survivor Series team has now been officially announced in full while the men's team is just missing two members.
The Championship head-to-head matches have all also been officially announced and as long as none of the current Champions lose their titles in the next three weeks, then the card is almost complete.
Survivor Series is the one night of the year that both RAW and SmackDown go head-to-head and last night despite being three weeks before the show, the card was made complete.
The show also contained some interesting build towards a feud between The Fiend and Randy Orton. There were also several moments throughout the night that these WWE stars would rather forget.
#5 Matt Riddle almost misses the armbar on Raw
Matt Riddle took on Sheamus in the men's Survivor Series qualifying match on last night's RAW but it wasn't a match that went in Riddle's favor. The former MMA fighter looked as though he should have had the match won on numerous occasions before it was Sheamus who pulled the trigger on The Brogue Kick.
When Sheamus was hanging over the top rope, Riddle went to lock in his usual armbar but completely missed on the first attempt so he was forced to try again whilst also preventing himself from falling.
This was seemingly the turning point in the match which then saw Sheamus qualify for next month's pay-per-view at the expense of Riddle. The former NXT star isn't one to make botches, but last night's episode of RAW seemed so packed that there were a number of stars who usually don't make mistakes in the ring, that did.
#4 The graphic from Hell in a Cell fails to load on RAW
Last night's episode of RAW also had to carry on from where Hell in a Cell left off since there were some interesting storyline developments on Sunday night. One of these came as part of the match between Jeff Hardy and Elias when Hardy decided to attack Elias with a guitar and take the loss.
This was a moment that the company wanted to replay ahead of Hardy's Survivor Series qualifying match against AJ Styles, but when the graphic was put on the screen it was paused.
The decision was then made to take the whole thing back down and then a few seconds later put the graphic back up. The second time the video loaded and the WWE Universe were able to see the closing moments of the match between Hardy and Elias at Hell in a Cell.
Luckily, this was the only glitch of the night on RAW when it comes to production errors, but it's one that WWE will want to avoid in the future.
#3 Tom Phillips forgets what he just watched on RAW
Tom Phillips has one of the hardest jobs in WWE. He has to call the actions, ensure that he advertises when he's told to, and then remember everything that has happened throughout the night.
Of course, every now and then there are a few botches from the commentary team on RAW, but last night it appeared that Phillips forgot the finish of the match just moments after it happened.
Phillips claimed that Elias had helped AJ Styles to defeat Jeff Hardy in the first qualifying match for WWE's RAW Survivor Series team, but this wasn't actually true. Styles won the match after delivering the Phenomenal Forearm and then Elias came out and attacked Hardy with a guitar following the bell.
Elias didn't interfere in the match while it was still underway, Jeff Hardy did the same in Elias's match against Keith Lee since his music was a distraction but he didn't appear in the ring until after Lee had already won the match.
It's evident that Phillips was trying to explain so that WWE fans understood when Hardy attacked Elias a few moments later, but he must have thought that Elias attacked Hardy before the match ended which wasn't the case.
#2 Lana doesn't make it back into the ring on RAW
The Women's Survivor Series team was announced last night on RAW, but one spot was still up for grabs in a fatal four-way match between Lana, Lacey Evans, Nikki Cross, and Peyton Royce.
The rest of Team RAW which included Nia Jax, Shayna Baszler, Dana Brooke, and Mandy Rose, watched on from ringside as Lana managed to become the ultimate opportunist by pinning Nikki Cross after she was pulled from the top rope.
Throughout the match, Lana was part of some of the action and even had her own moment to forget when she was fighting with Nikki Cross. The Ravishing Russian looked to springboard over the ropes but somehow managed to get her legs caught and almost fell to the floor.
While Lana recovered well from the botch, it was still clear that whatever move she managed to pull off wasn't supposed to happen but she was still able to continue and go on to win the match.
Despite becoming a member of the same team, following the match Lana was then put through the announce table by Nia Jax for the sixth time.
#1 Keith Lee almost breaks Elias' nose on RAW
Keith Lee qualified for his second Survivor Series elimination match last night on RAW when he was able to defeat Elias with the Spirit Bomb. It was a win that was helped by Jeff Hardy since he provided a nice distraction, but before the swerve there was an awkward moment between the two men.
Keith Lee delivered a crossbody across the ring onto Elias but he might have jumped a little bit too high since he landed on Elias' face. The Drifter was forced to roll to the outside to recover after the move and check that his nose wasn't bleeding before Lee then rolled after him.
It seems as though Elias called an audible following the move in their RAW match because he was legitimately hit in the face and Lee then rolled out to the ring to try to help and make it look authentic. Luckily Elias was alright and was able to finish the match so that Lee could pick up the win and continue his feud with Jeff Hardy.
