    One week after John Cena rejected Triple H’s offer to join The Authority, one question still lingers for the Cenation leader: Who will join him in battle against The Game’s squad at Survivor Series? As we wait to see which Superstars will round out Team Cena — and Team Authority, for that matter — what else is in store for Raw?

    1. Who will side with Cena?

    2. Will Big Show get some giant-sized payback?

    3. Is Nikki Bella ready to reclaim the Divas Title?

    4. How will Bray Wyatt terrorize his deranged reflection?

    5. What feast awaits Ryback?

    We noted before that WWE may be doing an injury angle with Randy Orton to write him off TV for a few weeks as he will begin filming The Condemned 2 on November 11th. If they do it, that angle would happen tonight as next week’s RAW takes place from England and Orton was pulled from that tour.

    It’s still very possible that Orton misses Survivor Series, despite being expected for the Team Cena vs. Team Authority match. Orton was pulled from local advertising for the pay-per-view, which takes place in his hometown of St. Louis. It was said that there’s a good chance Orton misses Survivor Series but because The Condemned 2 is a WWE movie, they can always give him a day off to work the pay-per-view.

    Orton’s last scheduled date is tonight’s RAW. He is not booked for Tuesday’s SmackDown tapings in Albany and as noted, is not booked for the European tour that begins this week.

    On a related note, this has become the norm but the script for tonight’s RAW was not finalized as of late Sunday night.

    On the upside, the pop he will get n his return should be massive....

    Reports of Mysterio being in Buffalo. Possibly for a meeting to clear up the conflict or maybe for an appearance on the show. According to F4W

    - Puts over the Post-Raw gimmick. A cheap DQ would be really cheap especially after 3 1/4 hours of Raw.

    - They've thrown the towel in on Survivor Series due to it being free. No Lesnar, possibly no Orton and crappy Survivor Series main event. So no real $$$ loss.

    Hope Vince rewrote the script on the spot with that script.
    WWE just informed the live crowd in Buffalo, NY that John Cena would not be appearing on tonight's Raw.

    Can I take it Sheamus is losing his title on the network tonight to show people why they should have bought it, or have I watched too many conspiracy theory movies?*

    Juat watching raw now, I wonder if Triple H is going to get back in the ring on a regular basis. If he was to do another year as an active performer it could help the younger guys and provide some new opponents for likes of Ambrose, Reigns.

    Not for Survivor Series but he definitely will around WM season.

    I reckon Ambrose is facing either him or Rollins at Mania.

    Do you not think he will be on his own team for survivor series?

    Another poor raw , it's all just set up for the final 3 mins , no mid cards getting anywhere with e there gimmicks , when seth came out steph was in a different world listening to his theme song for a couple of seconds .
    at least Orton showed a bit of personality but that charisma bar will run low soon enough

    Maybe now given the stipulation on RAW, you're right.

    Before that though, no chance. I'd still say he won't be.

    Overall I enjoyed RAW myself. No Cena made a nice change.

    Rolins looked great, Ambrose the same, Orton is interesting again, Ryback is motoring and even Tyson Kidd got a win.

    The change to the Survivor Series match is good as it puts something on the line.

    Yup, I'd agree/ It wasn't too bad when viewed quickly, but I'd imagine the whole thing was a bit of a chore. Big Show/Henry went on for ages it seemed.

    Team Randy vs The Authority makes more sense to me.

    Thats true about watching quickly, put I think that is a must/given ever since they went to three hours.

    I said same last week, I would prefer team Randy as well. For getting a match together quickly and having a match where something is on the line I suppose it makes sense to have team Cena.

    Yeah, I guess you're right. Hopefully it's not Cena left standing at the end - just for the sake of something new.

    Who else is joining the authority anyway, Mark Henry and one of the GoldStar brothers?

    Goldust and Stardust will probably be defending their titles at the PPV

    I am thinking something like:

    Rollins, Kane, Rusev, Henry and a return to the ring (Maybe BNB or Triple H himself)

    v

    Cena, Ziggler, Sheamus (as feuding with Rusev), Big Show (as feuding with Henry) and returning Orton or Reigns as a surprise entry.

    That's not a bad lineup. Gonna be a pretty threadbare undercard though, isn't it?

    Divas Title
    Tag Title
    and?

    Tbh, based on what we saw in ring, I fully expect TA to be Rollins, Kane, Mercury, Noble and Rusev. Then probably Cena, Orton, Sheamus, Ryback and Ziggler.

    That said, has it been confirmed as 5v5? Could be 4v4 and just have Rollins/Kane/Stooges. Take Sheamus and Rusev out for a singles match.

    Think we could see a second match of Gold/StarDust, Miz and Mizdow vs Matadors & Usos.

    Bray vs Ambrose.

    AJ vs Bella.

    Show vs Henry in a gimmick match.

    The main event will go pretty long though and get loads of time.

    Anyway,Raw was pretty meh imo. The highlight is Orton's faceturn....which saw him written off the show for a few weeks. And I can't believe they put Rusev/Sheamus on the Network after months and months of a build for the result. Shocking.

    They did say it would be 5 v 5. After the stipulation and the Authority saying they need the greatest Survivor Series Team ever put together I can't see Mercury and Noble on the team, even by WWE standards that would be dumb :P


    Wyatt v Ambrose
    Tag Title match
    Divas title matches must be on the card.

    After that it really is slim pickings. As suggested Show v Henry could be there but it would be horrible. I would much prefer Ryback v Cesaro.
