Follow along with our live WWE Raw review.

Previously on WWE Raw, The Shield came back in full force. Then everyone got meningitis or something, and TLC was awesome regardless.

Speaking of TLC, much of this week’s Raw is likely going to deal with the fallout from the show. We’ll get to that in a minute, though. Because up first is The Beast Incarnate – Brock Lesnar. The Universal Champion is set to respond to a challenge issued by WWE Champion Jinder Mahal. The Modern Day Maharaja wants to face Lesnar in a singles bout at Survivor Series. Tonight, we get Brock’s answer.

But back to TLC. In the show opener, Asuka debuted and defeated Emma. Over the course of the match, The Empress of Tomorrow showed exactly why she was undefeated in her NXT career. Although she likes to say the answer is no one, who’s ready for Asuka tonight?

There’s a new Cruiserweight Champion after TLC, as well. Enzo Amore was victorious in his rematch against Kalisto, making The Realest Guy a two-time Cruiserweight Champ. Enzo took some shortcuts over the course of the match, so it remains to be seen how long he can remain on top this time around. And will Kalisto invoke his rematch clause tonight?

In the clear match of the night at TLC, Finn Balor defeated AJ Styles in what was billed as a “dream match.” And, yes, it was just as amazing as you would expect it to be. But with Styles heading back to SmackDown and Bray Wyatt – Balor’s original opponent – still presumably out with illness, what’s next for The Demon?

And in a shocking moment, Kane – and eventually The Bar and The Miz – turned on Braun Strowman in the middle of the main event at TLC. The Big Red Machine chokeslammed Strowman through the stage and buried him under chairs. Then the whole group threw Braun into the back of a garbage truck. Master Shredder from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles survived such a fate, so Braun will be back – but what’s he going to do next?
