As the stories of Monday's WWE Raw unfolded, familiar sights emerged. Sasha Banks yanked the Raw Women's Championship from Charlotte Flair. Chris Jericho and Kevin Owens bickered to the point of a supposed breakup. And WWE hinted at the possibility of a trade between Raw and SmackDown. Will any of these developments turn out differently this time? Banks has beaten Flair several times now only to drop the title less than a month later. Is that pattern done with or is The Boss destined to fall again? Jericho and Owens have fooled the audience into thinking their friendship is over. Is that the case again? ...

As Roman Reigns marched to the ring to confront Kevin Owens on Monday's WWE Raw, he offered a striking visual symbol of the United States Championship's place in this feud and in the overall WWE landscape. Reigns at first held the championship belt at his side. It dangled out of frame for part of his entrance. The Big Dog then hoisted it onto his shoulder, but the title hung down his back, out of sight. Only a strap showed. The gold remained obscured in the background. The championship too often took a back seat when Reigns and Rusev fought over it weeks ago. ...

Final battle preparations will mark the Nov. 29 WWE SmackDown. Tuesday's show is the last chance for the blue brand to hype Sunday's TLC: Tables, Ladders & Chairs pay-per-view.  Dean Ambrose will gear up for his WWE World Championship match. Alexa Bliss will look to soften up the women's titleholder. And The Wyatt Family will seek to take down Jason Jordan and Chad Gable of American Alpha to claim the right to face the tag champs. Columbia, South Carolina, is set to host a SmackDown packed with animosity and intrigue. Will Bray Wyatt and Randy Orton push aside American Alpha? Will we see a foreshadowing of ...

The November 28 episode of Raw featured an outstanding Falls Count Anywhere main event in which Sasha Banks defeated Charlotte Flair to become a three-time women's champion, not to mention a strong Roman Reigns-Kevin Owens match, yet none of the four competitors involved in those bouts earned "biggest winner" status for the night's festivities. No, that honor went to an underutilized talent who is finally getting the television time he deserves via an intriguing storyline involving the brand's general manager, Mick Foley. While he had a strong night of character development and progression, another Superstar continued his slide into mediocrity, the championship ...

The Nov. 28 WWE Raw flourished because it emphatically veered off the beaten path. Some of the night's best moments happened not in a ring, but in a parking lot, a bar and in a backstage interview. A man cried. Cesaro threw a human being threw a wall. And Sasha Banks and Charlotte Flair throttled each other well outside the ring ropes.  High stakes and inventive settings powered one of the strongest episodes all year.  The cruiserweights still can't catch a break. WWE still hasn't figured out how to handle Rusev. But for the most part, Raw hummed. Rivalries advanced. Wrestlers clashed over championships and ...

On Monday’s episode of WWE Raw, Paul Heyman announced during an interview with Michael Cole that Brock Lesnar would be the second person to enter his name into the 2017 Royal Rumble match. After watching Goldberg beat him at Survivor Series and then become the first man to join the 30-man Battle Royal, Lesnar will return looking for vengeance at the January pay-per-view. If Goldberg wants to win a world championship, he’s going to have to go through Lesnar first. Now that Lesnar is in the Royal Rumble, here are the best booking options.                Lesnar Surprises WWE ...

Sasha Banks scored another victory over Charlotte Flair Monday night on Raw to become WWE Raw women's champion for the third time. A Banks Statement from between the hand railings gave Banks the win. WWE captured her reaction to the win:   As Banks celebrated, Charlotte's dad, WWE Hall of Famer Ric Flair, emerged to help her celebrate in his daughter's hometown of Charlotte, North Carolina, per WWE: ESPN's Brian Campbell thought the added dynamic with Flair may mean the feud will continue:  Vaughn Johnson of Philly.com provided his initial take on the match:  Meanwhile, Will Pruett of ProWrestling.net hopes this is the conclusion of the ...

The New Day continued their march toward becoming the longest-reigning tag team champions in WWE history Monday on Raw, as they defeated Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson to retain their titles.  The WWE Universe captured how the match finished:  Gallows and Anderson dominated much of the match, and that's why Bleacher Report's Kevin Berge enjoyed it: With another match ending in fishy fashion, Bleacher Report's Ryan Dilbert wondered if this was the new normal for the New Day: Gallows and Anderson were granted a championship match after defeating the Golden Truth last week, while New Day successfully defended their belts in a match against ...

Welcome to Bleacher Report's live coverage of the November 28 episode of Raw. This week's show will feature two title matches. The first will see Sasha Banks challenge Charlotte for the Women's Championship, and the second will feature Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson trying to win the tag titles from The New Day. Xavier Woods, Kofi Kingston and Big E are closing in on Demolition's record title reign of 478 days, and if they can retain against The Club, they will pass the 463-day mark. When it comes to Charlotte and Banks, it's harder to predict the outcome. They have both won the title ...

In the aftermath of Goldberg's stunning trouncing of Brock Lesnar at Survivor Series 2016, WWE has to lean on what made that bout the biggest talking point of the year—the surprise factor. The subsequent chapters of this story have to upend expectations. There is potential to feed off the massive buzz that moment created, to spread the electricity born that night to more permanent members of the roster.   To do that, WWE's best bet is to continue the outside-the-box thinking it employed at the Nov. 20 pay-per-view.  No one saw what happened at Survivor Series coming. Even those who predicted an upset from ...
