Spoilers for the pre-taped edition of WWE RAW from Manchester, England
WWE is in one of the most intriguing positions that they’ve been in for quite some time. With the injury to Seth Rollins forcing him to vacate the WWE World Heavyweight Championship, WWE is left to formulate a tournament to determine a new champ at Survivor Series in two weeks. With that and the absence of John Cena, Randy Orton, Rusev, and even Brock Lesnar right now, things are as unpredictable as ever within the company.
WWE RAW was taped in Manchester, England on Monday, Nov. 9, and will be aired on tape-delay later at its normal time in the United States. Luckily, the Internet is a beautiful thing and we can find out what’s going to happen on RAW ahead of time. Here are the spoilers for WWE RAW from Manchester, England:
