The November 24, 2014 edition of WWE's Monday Night Raw will emanate live from the Bankers Life Fieldhouse in Indianapolis at 8 p.m. Eastern and will feature all the fallout from the Survivor Series pay-per-view last night in St. Louis.
In the main event of that pay-per-view, Team John Cena defeated Team Authority with a little help from the man called Sting. After months (hell, a year) of rumors, teases, and more rumors, the WCW icon made his first official appearance on WWE television at the end of the Survivor Series match.
Dolph Ziggler had nearly rallied to take out the three remaining members of Team Authority. He had hit Seth Rollins with the Zig Zag twice, only for Triple H to interfere and take out two referees. He Pedigreed Dolph straight into the mat, placed Rollins on top of him and brought crooked referee Scott Armstrong into the ring to count the three and ensure The Authority's victory.
That's when we heard the familiar flap of the crow's wings and the man in the black and white face paint emerged through the curtain. He stalked down to the ring and stared Triple H dead in the eyes. They circled each other, each waiting for the other to make a move. Triple H decided to throw the first punch, but Sting sidestepped him and planted him with the Scorpion Death Drop. He placed Ziggler on top of Rollins, and another referee came in to count the three and put The Authority out of power for good.
The main question on everyone's mind, of course: Why now? Why did Sting choose now of all times to get involved in this situation? Is he the new authority figure? Hopefully we get some answers tonight on Raw.
Last night was largely Ziggler's night, as he was down three to one at the end of the match and rallied to defeat both Luke Harper and Kane. He also technically eliminated Rusev because he dodged the Bulgarian Brute's splash through the announce table, which caused him to eliminate himself by count out. Will Ziggler remain front and center tonight on Raw, or was last night the peak for The Show Off?
Will Triple H and Stephanie be on Raw in any capacity to address their catastrophic loss last night? Or will they slink out of the spotlight to avoid further embarrassment?
Big Show also turned on Team Cena last night when he eliminated Cena from the match with a KO Punch. Will we get an explanation from the giant as to why he did this, other than he's Big Show and he turns heel and face like it's a bodily function?
Dean Ambrose and Bray Wyatt had a great match last night, even if it largely turned into a promo for their already announced match at TLC next month. How will the two continue to advance this feud tonight?
We also have two new champions. Nikki Bella is now the Divas Champion after her sister Brie Bella made out with AJ Lee, which distracted the champ long enough for Nikki to clock her and cover her for the three. Will the new champ gloat about her victory tonight? We bet yes.
Damien Mizdow and The Miz are the new Tag Team Champions, and everything about this is fantastic. The crowd is so into Mizdow that he outshined the other seven men in the match with his mere presence. So of course, Mizdow tagged himself in and pinned Goldust to steal Miz's thunder. Now we have even more tension between the team, and the introduction of the tag belts to that equation only makes things more interesting.
As always, check back with MStars immediately after the show for a full recap of all the action. But for now, let us know your thoughts, opinions, guesses, and predictions for tonight's show in the comments section.
