AJ Styles makes his way to the ring with Jordan.

We see what happened last week when Braun Strowman became part of the Raw Survivor Series team.

AJ says he is welcoming everyone to the first Raw Team Meeting now that the team is complete.  Raw will beat Smackdown at Survivor Series with him as the Phenomenal Captain.  With his leadership, they will be a force to be reckoned with.  He brings out Keith Lee first.  He brings out Matt Riddle next.  Out next is Sheamus.  Out last is Braun Strowman.

AJ says last week got off to a rocky start and he knows why.  We were missing the piece to the puzzle and now we have it.  This is it.  What I see in the ring is a masterpiece.

Keith interrupts and he says you tried to take a cheap shot at me last week and I owe you a receipt.  AJ says he slipped.

Sheamus calls Keith a hypocrite since he was attacked from behind by Keith and was sent from the ring.

Keith says he remembers doing it and he hopes Sheamus remembers in case he tries to cross him.

Sheamus wants to know if that is a threat.

Braun says he will whip both of your asses.

AJ says as captain.

Braun says AJ is not the captain and Sheamus is a sore loser.

Sheamus tells Braun to bring it.

Matt says everyone needs to chill and he says he knows what to do.

Matt says we need sick code names.  You are the Skipper, Braun is the Mongoose.  Keith is Bro-Lee.  Matt says Sheamus' Survivor Series team name is FireFace.

Sheamus asks if this is a ginger joke.

Riddle says when you get really angry, your face turns red.

Sheamus wants to know what Riddle's code name is and asks if it is Dopey.

Riddle says Sheamus is right.

AJ says they are up against the biggest names on Smackdown.  He asks Sheamus if he has seen what Jey Uso is doing.  He will tear him apart.  AJ asks Keith if he has been curbstomped.  AJ asks Riddle if he wants a stunner from Kevin Owens.  He tells Braun if he does not work with this team, he will go down and he will bow down to Baron Corbin.  Do you want that or do you want to work together as the best of the best.

AJ says with them as Team Captain and everyone disagrees.

AJ says this will give them all respect.
