WWE Raw Review: Results, Analysis and Grades; TLC Build
WWE.com
Follow along with our review of tonight’s episode of WWE Raw.
Tonight will feature the second-to-last episode of WWE Raw before the Dec. 13 WWE TLC pay-per-view. The show will emanate from the sometimes raucous Pittsburgh, PA crowd.
Last week we got confirmation on the main event of WWE TLC, which will be Sheamus defending the WWE World Heavyweight Championship against Roman Reigns in a Tables, Ladders and Chairs match. This was made one day after Sheamus cashed in on Reigns and won the title off him.

We will likely see more build towards this match with the new international Authority making its mark. Rusev and King Barrett strengthened their soft alliance with Sheamus last week on Raw and it seems they’ll make up Triple H’s henchmen going forward.
The Kevin Owens vs. Dean Ambrose feud should also see some time. Ambrose won a No. 1 contenders match for the WWE Intercontinental Championship last week on SmackDown for the right to face Owens at TLC. What will happen between these two tonight?
There was also a tease of a triple threat WWE Tag Team Championship match being made for TLC between New Day, The Lucha Dragons and The Usos. While we’re likely to see little storyline built between these teams, some combination of them in a match tonight could be entertaining.

Besides all this, the main question going into Raw is the ratings, which dipped below 3 million viewers last week for the first time in 20 years. The product is at an all-time low with thousands of fans tuning out every week. Can WWE produce a good show tonight, or will this be another throwaway Raw like most of last week’s show was?
Here's a step in the right direction for #RAW tonight: how about accentuating the positives of the talents for a change? (1/2)

Most notably, let the ones who can cut a promo actually speak. When's the last time someone like Kevin Owens had long mic time? June? (2/2)
