Tonight’s WWE RAW will take place from the Staples Center in Los Angeles, California with the fallout from last night’s Survivor Series pay-per-view.
* Raw wins the night at Survivor Series
* Braun Strowman gets his Universal Title Match … and Baron Corbin
* Seth Rollins to face Dean Ambrose at WWE TLC
* Nia Jax steals Sasha Banks’ spotlight en route to title opportunity
* Ronda Rousey viciously assaulted by Charlotte Flair
Last night at Survivor Series, RAW dominated SmackDown Live on the main card, with the red brand picking up all six wins. WWE kept telling the fans that RAW had won all the inter-promotional matches, which surprised quite a few people as WWE said SmackDown Live’s victory on the pre-show did not count for the tally. This led to a few SmackDown Live Superstars such as Xavier Woods taking to Twitter to remind the officials that the blue brand had picked up a win, and to respect the tag team divisions on both brands.

During the most recent edition of Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer revealed the reason why WWE did not acknowledge SmackDown Live’s win.
Meltzer noted that the storyline called for RAW to have a clean sweep at Survivor Series. Something was lost in the communication process, which led to SmackDown Live accidentally getting booked to win the pre-show match. This led to the announcers ignoring the results of the pre-show, and focusing only on the matches on the main card.

He may have been kicked out of Staples Center on Sunday after attempting to get noticed on camera during a match at Survivor Series, but Enzo Amore was all laughs afterward.
In case you missed it, Enzo hid in the crowd wearing a wig and hoodie for a portion of the show. He then revealed himself as The Bar vs. Authors of Pain began and got removed from the building.
Photos and video of his removal can be SEEN HERE.
After leaving the arena … Enzo took pictures with fans and tweeted, “Apparently you can’t vape inside the staples center. #HowYouDoin!?” This is in reference about an incident where he was kicked off a plane before takeoff for vaping and not listening to instructions.
Amore then shared videos on Instagram in which he sold new merch and laughed about his removal.
Watch them both below.

RAW 6 – SmackDown 0
Apperantly the Tag Team Elimination match on the pre-show kickoff doesn’t count.
Former WWE Cruiserweight Champion Enzo Amore crashed tonight’s WWE Survivor Series pay-per-view from the Staples Center in Los Angeles.
As seen below, Enzo was sitting near the front row during the first part of the pay-per-view, trying his best to stay hidden. As news about his trick spread on social media, Enzo revealed himself during the match between RAW Tag Team Champions The Authors of Pain and SmackDown Tag Team Champions The Bar. WWE officials knew he was there and he was given the boot by security.
We noted earlier this week how Enzo spoke with TMZ and told fans to “keep your eyes peeled” this weekend as he was in Los Angeles. He then plugged a concert he’s doing in LA on Monday night but no one imagined he would have bought a ticket to the pay-per-view.

As the son of the late Brian Pillman, Brian Pillman Jr. has obvious connections to WWE. The MLW superstar was a guest on a recent episode of The WINCLY podcast and spoke to Wrestling Inc. managing editor Nick Hausman about the possibility of joining WWE’s developmental brand NXT.
Pillman is considered to be one of the top young wrestlers working the independent circuit. He was trained by Lance Storm and utilizes a high-flying style similar to his father. He said he treasures his time in the indies because he feels like he learned more than he ever would have if he joined the WWE to start his career.
“It’s definitely really fun being out in the indies, you really get to experience the roots of this business, how people were brought in and brought up, and the things that people had to go through to get noticed and really earn that respect,” Pillman said. “In my eyes, I made a good decision by getting an indie run out there, I’ve learned a lot, I have a lot of experience that maybe some guys may not have learned had they just went straight to the federation or to the Performance Center. So I’m very grateful for the path that I’ve taken, I want to thank my trainer Lance Storm.”
Despite enjoying his time in the indies, Pillman said he is open to joining NXT when the time is right. He said he is currently focused on the work he does for MLW, but he knows at some point in the future he will likely follow his father’s footsteps into the WWE.
“But with all that said, the WWE, NXT, Performance Center, all those different words and acronyms, those seem to be popping up more and more in my rear-view mirror lately,” he said. “It’s just one of those things, you have to take care of your business first, and I’m doing business with MLW right now and that’s my major focus. But like I said, there’s connections, sure, but it’s all about taking the right steps at the right time. I’m surely waiting for the right time to do that step.”
You can listen to Pillman’s full interview on the WINCLY in the player below, which also features ROH star Vinny Marseglia, TrumpMania author Lavie Margolin, PWI’s Dan Murphy and Lance Anoa’i, who talks about his career and cousin Roman Reigns.

Becky Lynch was frustrated and emotional just moments after WWE‘s medical staff informed her that she wouldn’t be cleared to compete at Survivor Series, as seen in newly released video.
WWE shared footage of Becky the day after leading an invasion on Raw, which reveals she went to the emergency room after Nia Jax busted her open during the in-ring melee.
The video was shot during the day before SmackDown and shows Becky being called into a closed-door meeting with WWE officials and staff where she was informed that her match against Ronda Rousey on Sunday would not be taking place.
The SmackDown Live Women’s Champion is then shown sitting in the stands reflecting on the news. “I don’t want to be sitting out right now,” Lynch says somberly. “I keep begging them to let me do something. I’ll be fine, ya know? I feel fine and I look great. So, imagine how I’ll look in 48.”
Watch the heartbreaking video below.

Indie wrestler Marko Stunt suffered a bad break in his leg on Friday night in Los Angeles that will force him to undergo surgery.
The injury occurred during Stunt’s match against Eli Everfly at GCW Presents Joey Janela’s LA Confidential during a gnarly looking Canadian Destroyer on the outside of the ring (seen below). The match was ended at that point and he was rushed to an emergency room.
Janela tweeted after the show saying, “Unfortunately my man [Marko Stunt] suffered a bad break of his Fibula and needs immediate surgery in the morning, can we take care of him in whatever means necessary everyone?”
Stunt followed that up with a tweet this morning which states: “Thank you to everyone who has reached out to check on me, or wished me a speedy recovery! Unfortunately I did suffer a bad break in my leg tonight. I have to have surgery in a few hours, and will keep everyone updated.”
For those who are unfamilar with Stunt, the 22-year-old has been turning heads on the indie scene and recently competed at ALL IN and PWG’s Battle of Los Angeles.

Former WCW champ David Arquette was a bloody mess during his crazy match at Joey Janela’s LA Confidential — and the ending may have turned into a little bit of a shoot.
It all went down on Friday at The Hi-Hat in Los Angeles — for an event streaming live on FiteTV — during Arquette’s match against deathmatch wrestler Nick Gage.
As things progressed, light tubes were injected into the match and at one point the 47-year-old ‘Scream’ star hit a diamond cutter on his opponent through a bunch of them.
The finish saw Gage start to grind broken light tubes into David’s forehead and at one point it looked like the two slipped up, causing Arquette’s neck to get sliced. This lead to the actor walking out of the ring like he was going to leave, but he ultimately came back.
Gage and Arquette then began to trade blows, with there seemingly being serious tension.
David Arquette lost the match moments later, then stormed to the back.
According to sources, the camera crew filming David’s documentary filmed as he returned to the back and we’re told actor Luke Perry rushed in to take his fellow actor to the ER. Arquette tweeted afterward saying he got stitched up and added, “Turns out Death Matches aren’t my thing.”
The full event replay is available on FiteTV.
