Rollins to address Ambrose, the state of WWE Raw tonight
Raw’s go-home show for TLC takes place at the Valley View Casino Center in San Diego, California tonight.
WWE has announced a segment where Seth Rollins will address Dean Ambrose and “the current state of Monday Night Raw” under Baron Corbin for tonight. Rollins will defend his Intercontinental Championship against Ambrose at TLC on Sunday.
Last week’s Raw included an angle where Ambrose came out with a “personal SWAT team.” Rollins ambushed Ambrose, attacked the SWAT team members, and brawled with Ambrose. Ambrose hit Rollins with a gas mask and laid him out with Dirty Deeds on the outside and in the ring.
Corbin has a tables, ladders, and chairs match with Braun Strowman scheduled for TLC (if Strowman is able to wrestle after having elbow surgery). The stipulation is that if Corbin wins, he’ll become the permanent general manager of Raw. He’ll lose all of his GM power if he loses to Strowman. If Strowman wins, he’ll challenge for Brock Lesnar’s Universal Championship at the Royal Rumble. In storyline, Corbin has said he’s going to defeat Strowman by forfeit.
Alexa Bliss hosting a “press conference” ahead of Ronda Rousey and Nia Jax’s Raw Women’s Championship match at TLC has also been announced for tonight’s Raw.
