WWE RAW REPORT: MATCHES ANNOUNCED FOR SURVIVOR SERIES, DID THE TABLE MAKE IT THROUGH THE EPISODE IN ONE PIECE, WHO IS ON TEAM RAW?, AND MORE

We begin with a look back at the main event from Hell in a Cell when Randy Orton defeated Drew McIntyre to become a fourteen time World Champion.

We are in Orlando, Florida and your announcers are Tom Phillips, Byron Saxton, and Samoa Joe.

Drew McIntyre makes his way to the ring.

Drew says he has been trying to think of the words to best express how he feels after losing the WWE Championship last night to Randy Orton.  He has no excuses and he promises that he will be WWE Champion again.  Drew says he lives by the motto of it is not how hard you hit, but how you recover when being hit.  Every time I get knocked down, I get back up twice as strong.  Drew says some of you may wonder why I am in a good mood since I lost last night.  I got knocked off the cell through the announce table and it hurt.

If you could read my mind and knew what was going on in there, it would be scary.

Miz interrupts and is joined by John Morrison.

Miz wants everyone to give Drew an encore.  

Drew tells them to choose their next words very wisely.

Morrison starts to talk about how they were going to congratulate him on his title reign and his defense.  

Miz says that is almost as impressive as being a two time Mr. Money in the Bank.  

Miz says Drew won't have to worry about facing Randy Orton for the WWE Championship because I have the briefcase.  I want each of you to understand that this entitles me to a World Championship match any time I want.  

Drew tells Miz and Morrison if they are going to interrupt him to address him.

Miz asks who he beat and where he cashed in.  Morrison says he beat Orton in Orlando.  

Miz says history could repeat itself tonight because Randy is on A Moment of Bliss.

Miz says if Drew had won at Hell in a Cell, you would be standing here with the WWE Championship.  Then I would have cashed in and became the WWE Champion, putting you in the same situation you are in right now.  Disappointed and frustrated.

Morrison says there is no reason to worry about Miz right now and that it doesn't take 19 years to get another title match.

Drew with a head butt to Miz and Morrison starts to talk to Drew and Drew with a head butt and overhead belly-to-belly suplex.  Drew with another overhead belly-to-belly suplex to Morrison .  Drew sends Morrison back into the ring and Drew goes for Future Shock but Miz clips Drew to help Morrison escape.

Drew stomps on some sunglasses and then he says that he has an idea and it will be a bad night for Miz and Morrison.

Tom mentions that we will have qualifying matches to see who can represent Raw at Survivor Series.  Elias will face Keith Lee.  Sheamus will face Matt Riddle.  Jeff Hardy will face AJ Styles.

We go to commercial.

We are back and Drew McIntyre will face The Miz tonight.

AJ Styles says he is 2-0.  How long have I been on Raw?  Two weeks and I have two wins.  I am dominating everyone I step in the ring with.  It is the return of the Phenomenal Era.  I am sure Raw missed me, not that I care.  Of course you missed me.  Why not get down to it.  The question everyone has is why is AJ Styles in a qualifying match for Survivor Series?  Haven't I proved myself in WWE and around the world.  Do I have to prove myself to Adam Pearce?  Not only should I be on Team Raw, I should be the captain of Team Raw.  I will lead you to the promised land because of this face right here.  The face that runs the place.  

AJ says his associate does not like to be noticed, looked at, or talked to.  

Why not talk about his match against THE BIGGEST CHEATER in WWE history.  Jeff used an illegal knee brace to win the Intercontinental Championship.  If you try on me tonight what you did to Elias last night, my associate will make sure you wish you never put down that bottle.

Alexa asks how do you know that she is mad.  Bray says this is a magical place where you don't have to hide from anything any more.  He heals you and protects you and there is only one thing you have to do.

Alexa says to LET HIM IN.
