The post Survivor Series edition of Monday Night Raw started with the Raw locker room surrounding the ring and Seth Rollins inside with microphone in hand. The CM Punk chants began and Rollins says he tried to get him to show up but he didn’t. He then said it wasn’t about Punk but about the Raw locker room.

He says NXT wiped the floor with Raw and he hated it. He then said that at Survivor Series, the locker room all sucked. Rollins went on to call out Randy Orton, saying he was the weak link on Team Raw. Orton stared him down then walked away. Rollins then addressed Charlotte, AOP, and Rey Mysterio. They left along with the rest of the roster.

Kevin Owens was the last one and got in the ring with Rollins. Rollins called KO “Mr. NXT” and that all of the ranting isn’t about him and that it’s coming from his heart. He called KO a “lazy piece of crap” and that Owens will “never be Seth Rollins.” KO doesn’t say a word. He attacks Rollins with a stunner and leaves him laying.

Charly Caruso asks a disgruntled Seth Rollins backstage about what just happened.  Rollins says all he was doing was trying to get Raw back on track. He says he will see KO in the ring later on in the night.

A video is shown of Rusev arriving at the arena earlier. A man issues a temporary restraining order and he is asked to leave.

Charly Caruso asks Charlotte backstage if her actions at Survivor Series were captain-like. Charlotte says she was the only one capable of leading. She says Asuka is sore from losing to Charlotte last spring and at WrestleMania 34. Charlotte says the green mist is the only way Asuka can beat her, but Charlotte will remind her why she is the 10-time champion.

AJ Styles was scheduled to defend the United States Championship against Humberto Carrillo. The OC attacked Carrillo, hitting him with the Magic Killer on the steel steps. Ricochet offers to take Humberto’s place for the title but Randy Orton comes out and offers to take the spot instead.

AJ says he beat both men so he refuses to put his title on the line against either one. Drew McIntyre makes his presence known and says AJ’s never beat him. Styles makes more excuses saying he’s sore from stealing the show the night before. Rey Mysterio says he should get it instead. Ricochet suggests there be a Fatal 4-Way and the winner faces AJ Styles for the U.S. title.

Charly Caruso interviews Kevin Owens. He says that the difference between him and Rollins is that KO has known who he is his entire career. He says he is Kevin Owens, will always be Kevin Owens, and that he is happy with that.
