WWE Raw: Results, Review, and Grades for December 3rd

While you were sleeping this weekend, WWE Raw booked themselves two matches for TLC in two weeks – Finn Balor vs. Drew McIntyre and Elias vs. Bobby Lashley. How will WWE build towards those matches tonight?

If you’ve been watching any WWE Raw within the last month or so, I hope you enjoyed the extreme facetiousness in that last sentence. For the last month, WWE has given us almost nothing but Finn Balor, Elias, Braun Strowman, Baron Corbin, Drew McIntyre, and Bobby Lashley matches in a variety of combinations.

Now that Baron Corbin vs. Braun Strowman is (tentatively) booked for TLC this month, it was only right to make matches out of the rest of the feud, no? So, that’s exactly what we’re getting.

Since they’re already getting one-third of the screen time anyway (does anyone else remember the nearly hour-long segment two weeks ago that I’m still reeling over?), it comes as a no-brainer that Bobby Lashley and Drew McIntyre will absolutely dominate Elias and Finn Balor this week some more, this time just with a lot more “TLC”… get it?

Outside of that, Dean Ambrose has allegedly promised that he’ll be at Raw tonight! If he walks into the arena in anything reminiscent of Hazmat gear, then you bet I will be utterly tickled. Although, he may not be able to avoid the fact that Seth Rollins is still dying to get his hands on him heading into their Intercontinental Championship match at TLC.

Raw Women’s Champion Ronda Rousey will be teaming with her good friend Natalya in a match tonight against Ronda’s number one contender, Nia Jax, and Jax’s new tag partner Tamina, or “The Monolithic Mute” as Ronda so respectfully calls her.

My surest hope is that they give Tamina the mic tonight at some point and let her decimate Ronda, but alas, I’ve been known to be a dreamer. Expect Nia again to oddly relish on her “Facebreaker” heat. Not to mention, if there’s every been a match I could so certainly say will end in some kind of submission, it’s this one, maybe even a double-teamed Armbar/Sharpshooter combo.

All this and more tonight on WWE Raw. Be sure to tune in to all the action tonight on the USA Network starting at 8PM/7PM Central, and tune in with us here for live results, review, and grades of all tonight’ action!
