We are in Milwaukee, Wisconsin and your announcers are Renee Young, Michael Cole, and Corey Graves.
Baron Corbin is in the ring and he is with Drew McIntyre, Bobby Lashley, and Lio Rush.
Baron welcomes everyone to Raw. He says he hopes everyone enjoyed their Thanksgiving with their family. He says that they maintain their bodies in peak physical condition. Baron says that he is thankful for the job he has been doing as acting General Manager.
Bobby Lashley says he is thankful for the Beta Males who sit on their couch and waste their lives away while he wakes up every morning and takes what he wants.
Drew says he is thankful for the brutal, extended beating that they gave to Braun Strowman.
Baron says that is a moment in time that will live on forever. Baron wants us to see it again and we do.
Baron says that after a brutal attack like that you won't be seeing Braun Strowman's face on Raw for a long long time. Baron says he has some pull around here. Baron says he sent a camera crew to Birmingham to get comments from Braun.
Braun says he is in Birmingham, Alabama getting ready to have surgery on his arm and he shows the discoloration. Braun says he would rather be in Milwaukee. There are some people who have some payback. Braun says he will be on the shelf for a while because the surgeon says that they have never seen an injury like this. Braun says he will be back and when he is, the attack on him last week and what happens during surgery will be like a paper cut when he is done with Lashley, Corbin, and McIntyre. Braun tells them to enjoy their holidays because when he comes back, they will Get these Hands.
Baron says that there is no way that Braun will be medically cleared to compete at TLC. Baron says their match is still on and when Braun fails to show up, Baron says he will win by forfeit and become the new Raw General Manager. The Raw roster has to decide if they want to be on the right side of history or the wrong side of history. Baron says he will remember which superstars stand beside him and which stand against him.
The lights go out and then they come back on and it is Elias.
Elias says he could not sit in the back and listen to Baron's annoying voice so he had to come out and play this riff. Elias says that anyone would be better than Baron Corbin as a GM. Lio Rush would do a better job but that would violate labor laws. Even Drake Maverick would do a better job and he pissed his pants. Elias says he has a song.
