Baron Corbin attacked Strowman following the match.\u00a0 Raw Women\u2019s Champion Ronda Rousey defeated Charlotte Flair from Smackdown via DQ when Charlotte attacked Ronda with a kendo stick.\u00a0 Universal Champion Brock\u00a0Lesnar\u00a0defeated WWE Champion Daniel Bryan.<\/p>\n<p>Here are the items of emphasis for tonight\u2019s show according to WWE.com:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Raw wins the night at Survivor Series<\/li>\n<li>Braun Strowman gets his Universal Title Match\u2026 and Baron Corbin<\/li>\n<li>Seth Rollins to face Dean Ambrose at TLC<\/li>\n<li>Nia Jax steals Sasha Banks\u2019 spotlight en route to title opportunity<\/li>\n<li>Ronda Rousey viciously assaulted by\u00a0Charlottle\u00a0Flair<\/li>\n<li>Raw\u00a0Wins the Night<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>As I talked about earlier, Raw won the night at Survivor Series.\u00a0 If you don\u2019t count the pre-show, technically Raw did sweep the series of matches on the main show.\u00a0 I am going to count the pre-show whether WWE likes it or not and therefore they won 6-1.<\/p><div id=\"pwtor-4013578462\" class=\"pwtor-content pwtor-entity-placement\"><div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280 __336x280\" id=\"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p>Baron Corbin has been looking to become the\u00a0permanent\u00a0G.M. of Raw.\u00a0 Commissioner Stephanie McMahon and he had words with Smackdown G.M.
