WWE Raw: Results, Review, and Analysis for November 5th, 2018

WWE maven Charly Caruso confronts Baron Corbin backstage, asking him why he’s so afraid of Braun Strowman. Like clockwork, in comes Braun throwing everything across the room, yet still Corbin manages to escape.

Dolph Ziggler is out in the ring to begin a diatribe on the “conspiracy” against him that allowed Shane McMahon to suddenly come out and beat him for the WWE “World” Cup trophy.

You know who’s not about this, though? Elias. After a song for the Manchester crowd, the two are ready for a match. Any man who wrestles in Jeans and ankle Moto boots has my utmost respect.

Dolph Ziggler has the upperhand for the beginning of the match. He keeps Elias in a headlock for so long that even Renee Young has to admit that Elias doesn’t look like he’s got much of a chance against the way-more-decorated Ziggler.

When we come back from commercial, there’s Elias in a headlock again. Elias finally turns this around with some big, heavy boots to Ziggler in the corner. He gets Ziggler high on his shoulders, but Ziggler counters for a roll-up.

Elias lands a big power-bomb on Ziggler, but it still isn’t enough. Ziggler lands the Zig Zag, but Elias gets his foot on the rope before the three count. The “Oh, Walk With Elias” chants are unreal tonight. Elias is next-level over by 2018 standards.

Elias lands Drift Away for a big win over Ziggler. Elias is about to become huge.
