Raw Deal - Raw recap for November 26, 2018

Baron Corbin is in the ring with Bobby Lashley, Lio Rush and Drew McIntyre to start tonight's show, and says none of them eat Thanksgiving food to keep their bodies at peak fitness levels. Corbin says he is thankfully to be Acting General Manager of Raw, Lashley says he is thankful for "all those beta males" who waste their lives away while he takes what he wants, and McIntyre says he is thankful for the beating that Strowman was given last week. After a replay of last week's attack on Strowman, Corbin says that Strowman won't be seen on Raw for a very long time before announcing that he has footage of Strowman being prepped for surgery in Birmingham, Alabama. We see footage of Braun Strowman in the operating room as well as his bruised elbow, saying he would rather be in Milwaukee, Wisconsin as there are three spineless slimeballs waiting to get what is coming to them. He admits he will be on the shelf for a while, but he will be back 100% and he will make the beating he received look like paper cuts compared to what he will do to them. Corbin says there is no way Strowman will be medically cleared to compete at TLC, and says their match is on and he will win by forfeit to become permanent Raw General Manager. He says that from here on out, he should be known as "General Manager-Elect" and that the Superstars will have choose which side of history they will be on, as he will remember who was with him and against him. Suddenly, the lights go out, and Corbin demands they come back on. Suddenly, Elias' guitar is heard. The lights come back on, and Elias is on the stage. He says he could not sit backstage any more and hear Corbin's voice, and says Corbin, Lashley and McIntyre can't get that WWE stands for "Walk With Elias." He also says he cannot think of anyone worse than Corbin to be General Manager, then says tonight is about "Bobby Trashley" before mocking Lashley in song.

Elias beats Bobby Lashley by disqualification after Lio Rush drags the referee out of the ring. Acting General Manager Baron Corbin then declares that the match is not over and that Elias interrupted him before he could say that this match is a no-disqualification match. After that, Lashley viciously attacks Elias, and Corbin and McIntyre join in before Lashley ends the match with a nonchalant pinfall attempt as he poses.

Backstage, Baron Corbin fires a backstage worker, then is met by Alexa Bliss, who is impressed. She tells Corbin he is doing a great job, and says that if he needs anything, all he needs to do is ask. Corbin tells Alexa she did a great job at Survivor Series, and asks her to oversee the entire Raw Women's division. Alexa is amazed, and she thanks Corbin and takes the job.

We hear from Dean Ambrose at his doctor's office. Ambrose says he would not expose him on Raw in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and while Seth Rollins would say he is disappointed he is not here, he should be relieved, as he won't be there for Rollins' Intercontinental Championship. He then says it is flu season and that he does not wish to catch anything, calling Rollins' fans "vermin" and saying that they carry diseases as he receives shots from his doctor. After saying he will not be on Raw next week without his shots, he then says that Rollins is a lost cause, and at TLC, he will be merciful and put him out of his misery for good.

Before the next match, Dash Wilder says that he and Scott Dawson were so appalled by Lucha House Rules last week that they were not ready to compete. Dawson says tag team comes with an etiquette like golf, and says that The Lucha House Party (Kalisto, Gran Metalik, Lince Dorado) should not be leaping around. He says that they have demanded a rematch, saying that if The Lucha House Party cannot respect their tradition, they should not be in the tag team division. It is then announced that this match will be contested under Lucha House Rules.

The Lucha House Party (Kalisto, Gran Metalik, Lince Dorado) beats The Revival (Scott Dawson and Dash Wilder) in a tag team match contested until Lucha House Rules.

Nia Jax and Tamina Snuka show up. Nia says everybody has so much to be thankful for this year, and says the Raw roster should be thankful for her after being sole survivor at Survivor Series and breaking Becky Lynch's face. She brags about putting Becky on the shelf with a concussion, and says "The Man" was no match for "The Facebreaker" and that "Rowdy" Ronda Rousey should be used to things being taken from her as she will soon take her title. Nia says that Ronda came to WWE on a high note, but ever since she faced her at Money In The Bank, Ronda's career has been in a downturn. After showing footage from Money In The Bank as well as Survivor Series, Nia says Ronda took a beating like a champion before mocking her. She then says Ronda will face her worst day when she faces her again at TLC. Nia then brags about what she has recently done again and says that the top of the mountain belongs to her. After that, Ronda Rousey shows up. Ronda gives Nia credit, saying that Nia Jax won the battle royal and that it was not luck that did. She tells Nia she is lucky that she came from a famous warrior-like wrestling family and that she didn't punch her to become "The Facebreaker." Ronda then promises to rip Nia's arm off at TLC and slap Charlotte Flair across the face with it, and says that since Nia is in the mood to fight, she can have a shot at the champ right here, right now. Nia says they will not do it this way, saying she could beat Ronda right here, right now, but she just got done washing Becky Lynch's blood from her knuckles. Ronda tells her to stop making excuses, but Nia says she is stalling for time. As Tamina and Nia corner Ronda, Natalya runs in, but is soon attacked by The Riott Squad (Ruby Riott, Liv Morgan, Sarah Logan), who show up from out of nowhere. Ronda runs out of the ring and chases The Riott Squad away.

Backstage, Drake Maverick says the fans may have had a laugh at his expense last week, saying they have never experienced real fear like he did at Survivor Series and that if they did, they would lose control of all bodily functions, too. After Maverick says that fear makes cowards of us all and that Bobby Roode and Chad Gable will experience that fear first-hand tonight, Akam and Rezar simply say "Fear now, cry later."

Backstage, Charly Caruso interviews Bobby Roode and Chad Gable. Gable says he loves a good laugh as much as anybody, but tonight is why he tagged with Roode in the first place. Roode says he is teaming with Gable for two reason: to win the Raw tag team titles and to make the Raw tag team division absolutely glorious.

AOP (Akam and Rezar) retain the WWE Raw Tag Team Championships against Bobby Roode and Chad Gable after Drake Maverick steals Bobby Roode's robe, takes it to the bathroom and then urinates on it on the TitanTron.

Backstage, Bayley and Sasha Banks are met by Alexa Bliss, who asks them to put their egos to the side, head to the ring and field questions from the fans in an open forum.

It is announced that Curt Hawkins will be replacing Braun Strowman as Ember Moon's partner for the rest of Mixed Match Challenge.

We hear from Finn Balor, who says that after Acting General Manager Baron Corbin's words and actions earlier tonight, he says he is jeopardizing his career either way and standing up for the right side of history against Corbin.

Ember Moon beats Alicia Fox. After the match, No Way Jose and Ember Moon celebrate with No Way Jose and his conga line, with Ember Moon being an unwitting participant.

Jinder Mahal beats No Way Jose.

Seth Rollins shows up. Rollins says he hasn't been himself lately and that Dean Ambrose had him running around so much he thought he was the lunatic, and that it is now time to get back to being a fighting champion. He says he is tired of chasing Ambrose around looking for answers, and says no vaccination will make him immune to Seth Rollins. While Ambrose will be here next week - and not tonight - he says Dean is a liar and that he may be in the arena somewhere. Rollins then issues an open challenge for the WWE Intercontinental Championship, and the challenge is answered by Dolph Ziggler. Dolph says he is glad Seth Rollins is back to being himself, saying his heart hasn't been in it as of late. He says that if Seth is going back to being Seth, he will be the best in the world, and tonight, he will go back to being Intercontinental Champion.

Seth Rollins retains the WWE Intercontinental Championship against Dolph Ziggler.

Alexa Bliss shows up. She talks about how she has been given the opportunity to oversee the Raw women's division, and is giving the fans a chance to ask Sasha Banks and Bayley questions in an attempt to get to know them better. Alexa says there are no limits and that the fans can ask anything they want, then introduces Bayley and Sasha Banks. One fans asks what Sasha Banks and Bayley could do if they could change the Raw women's division. Bayley isn't sure if she could change anything, but Sasha says she would ship Alexa Bliss back to SmackDown Live. Alexa tells Sasha that Bayley has brought her down, and Bayley said she would ship Alexa back to Hell where she came from. Dana Brooke, Mickie James and Mandy Rose then show up from behind and attack them, but Bayley and Sasha fend them off.

Baron Corbin beats Finn Balor. Baron Corbin makes the match a two-on-one handicap match as soon as he has the match won, and makes Drew McIntyre his tag team partner. Drew wins it for himself and Corbin with the Claymore Kick, then Bobby Lashley shows up with Lio Rush and helps gang up on Balor with Corbin and McIntyre.
