– Baron Corbin, Drew McIntyre, Bobby Lashley and Lio Rush are in the ring to kick off this week’s show. Corbin talks about the fans enjoying their Thanksgiving holiday, but he doesn’t eat that junk food, and that’s why he’s in the ring and the fans are watching. Lashley says he’s thankful for the beta males sitting on their couches while he accomplishes his goals. Drew talks about his Thanksgiving, and then Corbin throws us to a highlight reel of them beating up Braun Strowman last week. Corbin says that after their attack, you won’t be seeing Strowman on RAW for a long, long time. Corbin says he sent a camera crew to Birmingham, AL, where Braun is being prepped for surgery. We see a pre-recorded message from Braun, saying he’s there for surgery, but he surgeons say they’ve never seen an injury like that or worked on an arm as big as his. Braun says when he’s back, he’s going to rip apart Lashley, Corbin, and McIntyre. Braun says he hopes they have a happy holiday, and when he’s back all three of them are going to get these hands. Corbin says Strowman won’t be cleared to compete at TLC, but their singles match is still on. Corbin says when Strowman doesn’t show up, Corbin will win by default to become the permanent RAW GM. The lights then go out, and Elias appears on the stage with his guitar. Elias says Corbin, Lashley and McIntyre need to get one thing through their heads – WWE stands for Walk With Elias. He says having Lio Rush being there must be breaking some child labour laws, then he sings a song about “Bobby Trashley.” It looks like they’ll be facing off in a singles match next.
