Last week on Raw, Rollins admitted he didn\u2019t know what was next. Long-time rival and former Authority leader Triple H came out and reminded Rollins every time they worked together; good things happened for him. NXT\u2019s Undisputed Era walked to the ring through the crowd. Next out was the O.C., while the Undisputed Era retreated until NXT\u2019s Dominic Dijakovic and Damian Priest started beating down the O.C. Others from Raw ran out to help, and I suppose because they were in Long Island Zack Ryder was the focus of the faces to save O.C. Rollins couldn\u2019t be bothered with anyone. Later on, he challenged Adam Cole of Undisputed Era for the NXT Championship but didn\u2019t win the title when the rest of his crew got involved.<\/p>\n<p>Tonight, they\u2019ll reveal the rest of team Raw. Survivor Series this year is Raw vs. Smackdown vs. NXT, so it\u2019s hard to say how they will set up the matches.<\/p>\n<p><em>Frank\u2019s Analysis: I hope against hope they\u2019re not going to do a triple threat Survivor Series match. Nevertheless, I didn\u2019t expect it, but Rollins needed to go away for a while after the feud with The Fiend. They did acknowledge in his promo that fans haven\u2019t been too please with him lately, but it\u2019s not enough. What can you do. Anyway, I wonder if Rollins will be turning heel at some point in the near future. It may be an uphill climb to rehab him as a babyface.<\/em><\/p><div id=\"pwtor-1623692224\" 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><strong>Raw Women\u2019s Champion Becky Lynch to Address Triple Threat Match at Survivor Series<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>At Survivor Series, all three women\u2019s champions will face off in a triple threat match. Raw champ Becky Lynch goes up against NXT\u2019s Shayna Baszler and Smackdown\u2019s Bayley.<\/p>\n<p>Last week on Raw, Becky was to have a sit-down interview with Charly Caruso until Baszler walked in. Baszler told Becky she knows who she is and acknowledged her friendship with Ronda Rousey but she\u2019s not her. Becky of course defeated Ronda and Charlotte Flair at WrestleMania to walk away with both the Raw and Smackdown titles (remember Becky Two Belts?). Nonetheless, Baszler said she would pin or tap her out. Becky said she didn\u2019t know whether to respect her or slap the head off of her. She said a few more scripted lines before they stood up face to face.<\/p>\n<p>Becky is running a hashtag #BeckyBigMatch. Here\u2019s a tweet which shows the face-to-face, and one from Baszler:<\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/twitter.com\/BeckyLynchWWE\/status\/1191713817564270597?s=20<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">\u201cStrike the shepherd &amp; the sheep will scatter.\u201d \u2014 <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/48LawsOfPower?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#48LawsOfPower<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/AllHailQoS?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#AllHailQoS<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/SubmissionMagician?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#SubmissionMagician<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/ShaynaTwoTime?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#ShaynaTwoTime<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Reality?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Reality<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/TapNapSnap?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#TapNapSnap<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/gAog97ZhhK\">pic.twitter.com\/gAog97ZhhK<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Shayna Baszler (@QoSBaszler) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/QoSBaszler\/status\/1191766075811254273?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">November 5, 2019<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>According to WWE.com, Becky opens the show tonight addressing the triple threat.<\/p>\n<p>Frank\u2019s Analysis: It was a great face-to-face. It was a little wordy and scripted, but I\u2019m so used to that at this point with WWE. I really wish it was one-on-one, but that still may come down the line. Bayley is a good buffer, especially with her new character. Both women felt like threats and big-time champions. The only problem I have is that Baszler has got her WarGames match at Takeover the night before. It\u2019s hard to keep up with everything.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Women\u2019s Tag Team Championship: Kabuki Warriors (Asuka &amp; Kairi Sane) to Defend Against Unknown Opponents<\/strong><\/p><div id=\"pwtor-2416193213\" class=\"pwtor-content-1 pwtor-entity-placement\"><!-- Tag ID: pwtorchcom_test_300x600 -->\r\n<div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280 __300x600\" id=\"pwtorchcom_test_300x600\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x600\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x600\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p>Last week on Raw, Charlotte Flair &amp; Natalya defeated the Kabuki Warriors in a non-title match. They won it when Natalya tapped Asuka to her Sharpshooter.<\/p>\n<p>Tonight, the Kabuki Warriors put their titles on the line against unknown opponents. They\u2019ve recently had an unexplained change in their ways and even bid farewell to their manager Paige when Asuka sprayed green mist in her eyes.<\/p>\n<p><em>Frank\u2019s Analysis: I\u2019m not sure why Charlotte and Natalya wouldn\u2019t just be named the opponents ahead of time. Keeping this a mystery and then revealing them as the opponents tonight has zero shock value. Also, WWE has done this time and time where champions lose non-title matches and the winners get a title shot. The formula is old and tired, and I wish they\u2019d come up with challengers another way. Finally, why is Charlotte making nice with Natalya all of a sudden? Why have the Kabuki Warriors changed their ways?<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Lana Reveals Shocking Confession<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Last week on Raw, Rusev said that Bobby Lashley (Bob Lashley) could have his soon to be ex-wife Lana. He then challenged him to a match. Lashley and Lana came out, but Lashley was \u201cinjured.\u201d He said he hurt his groin doing things with Lana Rusev could only dream about. They then revealed an opponent, which turned out to be Drew McIntyre (isn\u2019t it great he was standing by and his music was ready to be played). Rusev and McIntyre went about ten minutes before Lashley got involved, revealing he wasn\u2019t really injured. Rusev won via DQ. Later on, Randy Orton showed up and hit an RKO Out of Nowhere. Ricochet came down to help Rusev get rid of Orton. This all plays off of team Hogan vs. team Flair from Crown Jewel.<\/p>\n<p>Apparently, Lana has a secret to reveal. Two weeks ago, she revealed Rusev cheated on her. Who knows what will come to light tonight.<\/p>\n<p><em>Frank\u2019s Analysis: I have no analysis on the Rusev-Lana-Lashley love triangle. Drew McIntyre continues to be used in a strange way, which is more my concern out of this whole thing. He shouldn\u2019t be someone\u2019s \u201cheavy\u201d or henchman. He\u2019s too good. I\u2019m cautiously optimistic he\u2019s going to turn babyface and be the top wrestler on Raw, considering where we are with Seth Rollins.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Other Match Results and Notable Segments from Last Week<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>WWE Champion Brock Lesnar and Paul Heyman arrived on Raw, where Heyman officially announced Brock was joining the show. Brock went looking for Rey Mysterio and attacked several people along the way, including announcer Dio Maddin. Rey then came out to attack Brock with a baseball bat and the WWE Championship belt. Brock was seen limping towards backstage. Later, Rey challenged Brock for the WWE Championship. That match is on for Survivor Series.<\/li>\n<li>Buddy Murphy defeated Cedric Alexander. The match was not announced ahead of time and neither wrestlers\u2019 ring introductions were televised.<\/li>\n<li>Andrade &amp; Zelina Vega defeated Sin Cara &amp; Catalina.<\/li>\n<li>The O.C. defeated Humberto Carrillo &amp; the Street Profits.<\/li>\n<li>Raw Tag Team Champions the Viking Raiders won another squash match. With New Day winning the Smackdown titles, the triple threat at Survivor Series is now the Raiders vs. New Day vs. NXT Champions Undisputed Era (Bobby Fish &amp; Kyle O\u2019Reilly).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Summary &amp; Closing Thoughts<\/h3>\n<p>Things should start to become clearer for Survivor Series as we are less than two weeks away from the show. You saw the O.C. arrive on NXT last Wednesday and the Imperium from NXT UK on Smackdown for whatever that\u2019s worth. I still wish we didn\u2019t have the battle for brand supremacy as the waters are muddied, but this is the direction, nonetheless.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><em>Follow Frank on Twitter @FrankPeteani.
