In the wake of #UnderSiege, irate Raw Commissioner Stephanie McMahon returned to Raw last week to demand that Kurt Angle captain the Team Raw Men’s 5-on-5 Traditional Survivor Series Elimination Team. In response, the WWE Hall of Famer wasted no time showing his resolve by recruiting the dominant Braun Strowman as his first pick.
Meanwhile, SmackDown Commissioner Shane McMahon has announced that he will SmackDown’s Team Captain – with Randy Orton, Shinsuke Nakamura and Bobby Roode ready to back him. But who will Angle select to fill the remaining spots to represent Team Red in the crucial showdown for brand supremacy? Can his Monster Among Men possibly work together with whomever he selects?
In addition, controversy has been running wild ever since SmackDown General Manager Daniel Bryan was attacked by his former Team Hell No tag team partner Kane on last week’s Raw. Shane McMahon has labeled the incident a “setup” and said that there would be “hell to pay.” Did The Big Red Machine act alone? Or did Kurt Angle have a hand in the attack as payback for SmackDown bringing Raw under siege?
Raw crosses the pond to Manchester England this Monday, where the action will kick off with a must-see edition of “Miz TV” featuring GM Kurt Angle as the special guest. Will The Olympic Gold Medalist quell the controversy and answer all concerns? Or will the A-List host simply pour gasoline on an already towering inferno?
