Braun Strowman is having surgery as a result of bone spurs in his elbow. The WWE announced his injury as a \u201cshattered elbow,\u201d but the injury angle last Monday was done to get him off television so he could have the surgery. This week Baron Corbin announced their match at T.L.C. is still scheduled to take place.<\/li>\n<li>Bray Wyatt made his return at Starrcade in Cincinnati this weekend where he fought Baron Corbin, then competed in a six man tag match. He did not appear on Raw or Smackdown this week.<\/li>\n<li>The WWE Network Starrcade special aired Sunday and featured Elias\u2019 performance with Ric Flair, the 8 woman tag team match, Miz TV featuring Rey Mysterio and Shinsuke Nakamura, Mysterio vs. Nakamura for the United States Championship, Rusev &amp; Rey Mysterio vs. Nakamura &amp; The Miz, and A.J.

In the opening segment on Raw, Corbin, McIntyre, and Lashley (w\/ Lio Rush) stood in the ring as they mocked Braun Strowman and laughed about injuring him last week. Corbin announced their T.L.C. match is still happening and he fully expects to win via forfeit to become the permanent General Manager. During the Elias vs. Bobby Lashley match that followed this opening segment, Corbin decided that the match would be a no DQ match and both he and McIntyre interfered to help beat down Elias. In the main event Corbin face Finn Balor and mid-match he changed the rules again making it a handicap match with himself and McIntyre taking on Balor. After they both beat down Balor, Lashley came back down to ringside to help beat down Balor as well.<\/li>\n<li>Alexa Bliss was put in charge of the women\u2019s division by Corbin during a backstage segment. It\u2019s unclear how long this position will last, but with her recent concussion issues, this may be Alexa\u2019s new role for a little while.<\/li>\n<li>Dean Ambrose delivers another video promo. This time it came from a doctor\u2019s office where he was receiving all of his vaccinations to make sure he doesn\u2019t catch anything from the fans. He continued insulting the fans for their poor hygiene and smell. He also said that there is no medicine to cure the sickness that is Seth\u2019s soul and that he will put Seth out of his misery.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Smackdown Live<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Becky Lynch made her return tonight. She said she is the hottest thing in the industry and any time away was too much time away. She announced she was back in the game, then called out Charlotte. Becky said Charlotte came close to the beating she would\u2019ve given Ronda, but if Becky had done it Ronda wouldn\u2019t have been walking the next day. Becky then accused Charlotte of previously copying her old man (Ric Flair) to now copying The Man (Becky Lynch). Paige then announced that Charlotte and Becky would fight in a T.L.C. match at the T.L.C. PPV. After being interrupted twice, once by the heels of the women\u2019s division and then by the remaining baby faces, Paige announced a battle royal to add a third woman to the T.L.C. match. Asuka would win that battle royal later in the night.<\/li>\n<li>Smackdown celebrated 20 years of Jeff Hardy. The roster gathered on the stage as Michael Cole stood in the ring and introduced Hardy. After a video package highlighting his career, Jeff thanked the fans and ensured everyone that this is not a retirement speech. Samoa Joe interrupted and apologized for being late; saying that he was in the back opening bottles of champagne for a toast, but maybe he shouldn\u2019t bring those around Jeff (a reference to his previous alcohol problems). After Shane McMahon tried to take away Joe\u2019s microphone, Hardy told Shane to let him continue. Joe went on to say that it was good Jeff got to see those career highlights again because he probably wasn\u2019t coherent enough to remember them at the time. After all of this, Jeff challenged Joe to a match, but Joe turned around and walked back up the ramp.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>For a more detailed rundown of all the major happenings in WWE, you can read the WWE TV reports <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/category\/tvshowsandevents\/tv_wwetvreports\/\">HERE<\/a>.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">\u2022Listen to the Wade Keller Pro Wrestling Post-Show &#8211; Smackdown Post-Show with guest Jason Solomon from Solomonster Sounds Off<\/h3>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 60px;\">PWTorch editor Wade Keller is joined by Jason Solomon from Solomonster Sounds Off as they discuss WWE Smackdown with live callers first and then later answering email questions with a majority focus on the big developments in the Women&#8217;s Division and TLC with Becky Lynch, Charlotte, and Asuka.

I waited to see what happened this week because last week\u2019s episode of Smackdown was so strange and uneventful I thought it may have essentially been a throw away episode after a long weekend in Los Angeles and that they would start fresh this week and address the Survivor Series sweep. Another reason I anticipated this would be addressed at some point in the last two weeks was a tweet Shane sent out immediately after Survivor Series was over last Sunday.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">This wasn\u2019t the night I had in mind for Team Blue. <br \/>Tomorrow is a new day, but something is going to have to change come Tuesday. <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/SurvivorSeries?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#SurvivorSeries<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Shane McMahon (@shanemcmahon) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/shanemcmahon\/status\/1064364952339632128?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">November 19, 2018<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>\u201c\u2026something is going to have to change come Tuesday.\u201d The problem is, nothing changed! Smackdown has moved on as if Survivor Series never happened. Shane was willing to fire anyone who made the finals of the World Cup Tournament if they then lost to the Raw representative less than a month ago at Crown Jewel, but being completely dominated at Survivor Series is just being ignored. It\u2019s a massive storyline hole that they haven\u2019t even bothered addressing. What makes this more annoying is that Shane was shown this week backstage standing with his World Cup trophy. Shane is now also in a storyline where The Miz is trying to recruit him to be his tag team partner because they combined to win the World Cup Tournament after The Miz was hurt in the finals and Shane replaced him.<\/p>\n<p>I guess my main question is why was the World Cup more important than Survivor Series? Survivor Series was set to feature all four champions representing Smackdown (WWE Champion, Women\u2019s Champion, United States Champion, and Tag Team Champions) fighting the four champions that represent Raw (Universal Champion, Women\u2019s Champion, Intercontinental Champion, and Tag Team Champions). This format was only changed slightly due to Becky Lynch being sidelined due to injury, so the Smackdown Women\u2019s Champion did not compete against the Raw Women\u2019s Champion, Ronda Rousey. It also featured five other women and men representing their brands in the traditional Survivor Series tag team elimination matches. There was also a tag team Survivor Series elimination match, but apparently that doesn\u2019t count. Crown Jewel featured an eight man tournament; four from each show, where they fought each other in brand specific brackets, and the finals featured a one on one match to determine \u201cthe best in the world.\u201d I\u2019m struggling to understand how one eight man tournament is more important than an entire PPV dedicated to seeing which roster is \u201cbetter.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The WWE doesn\u2019t even buy into their own \u201cbrand supremacy\u201d garbage they spew every November. I hope they\u2019re self-aware enough to know not to try this Raw vs. Smackdown thing next year. If they do I hope the fans remember this and reject the very notion as soon as it gets mentioned. If the WWE wants to do champion vs. champion that\u2019s totally fine. I think doing that creates fresh and exciting match ups that we don\u2019t get to see, but don\u2019t throw the wrestlers out there in the red and blue shirts and keep a scoreboard because it\u2019s obvious they don\u2019t even care enough to follow up on the results.<\/p>\n<p><strong>NOW CHECK OUT OTHER\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/category\/prowrestlingnews\/weekly-overviews\/\">WEEKLY OVERVIEWS HERE<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>OR JUMP TO LAST WEEK\u2019S WWE OVERVIEW:\u00a0<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/2018\/11\/23\/weekly-overview-wwe-thru-11-22-news-on-starrcade-lars-sullivan-survivor-series-plus-results-announced-matches-tv-summaries-social-media-highlights-commentary-on-vince-mcmahon-and-t\/\">WEEKLY OVERVIEW \u2013 WWE (thru 11\/22): News on Starrcade, Lars Sullivan, Survivor Series, plus results, announced matches, TV summaries, social media highlights, commentary on Vince McMahon and tag team wrestling<\/a><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><i>The following is the latest in\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/category\/prowrestlingnews\/weekly-overviews\/\">a new series of\u00a0weekly in-depth articles<\/a>\u00a0exclusive to PWTorch which will help put in perspective major wrestling promotions with a weekly overview, looking at news and roster developments, results, future line-ups, social media activity, key interviews, plus a timely commentary at the end.
