‘WWE Monday Night Raw’ Preview: Following HIAC, Goldberg Returns For ‘Survivor Series’ Build-Up

The night after Sasha Banks lost the Raw Women’s Championship to Charlotte inside Hell in a Cell in Sunday’s main event, Goldberg returns to Monday Night Raw to hype his Survivor Series main event match against Brock Lesnar. With just three weeks until WWE’s annual November classic, the WCW icon returns to the ring after twelve years away to face The Beast Incarnate. After Lesnar’s hometown crowd in the Twin Cities greeted The Anomaly and his advocate with “Goldberg” chants as they accepted the challenge for Survivor Series, what will the man who left WrestleMania 20 with a victory over Brock Lesnar have to say this week?

Meanwhile, the rest of the Monday Night Raw roster must find a way to put their differences aside as they prepare to face-off against SmackDown Live in three separate Survivor Series Elimination Matches on November 20. For the women’s team, new champion Charlotte and former champion Sasha Banks will have to try to put their differences aside as they face the likes of Nikki Bella and Becky Lynch at the Survivor Series. Will Chris Jericho and Kevin Owens be named co-captains of the men’s team, as Y2J suggested to Commissioner Stephanie McMahon and General Manager Mick Foley at Hell in a Cell? And which tag teams will join The New Day on the Team Raw as they face Heath Slater, Rhyno, and four more of Team SmackDown’s toughest duos?

With Hell in a Cell and No Mercy officially in the rear view, both Raw and SmackDown will be fully focused on WWE Survivor Series 2016, beginning with this week’s episode of Monday Night Raw, live from the XL Center in Hartford.
