WWE Raw Results and Grades: WWE Raw was preparing for Survivor Series but there were several other big stories that had to be dealt with.
Jeff Hardy and Elias continued their rivalry with a ‘guitar on a pole’ match while the New Day took on the Hurt Business.
However, we start off this week’s WWE Raw results and grades piece with the champion, Randy Orton.
The Fiend’s next target
Orton came out and claimed that he was a legend now after his win over Drew McIntyre and how he was better than everyone else.
Alexa Bliss made her way to the ring and claimed The Fiend could be here. However, it was Drew McIntyre who came out as a decoy and attacked Orton.
After beating up Orton a match was set up against the Miz and John Morrison. The Miz tried to cash in his MITB on Orton, but McIntyre didn’t allow that.
CASHING IN #MITB?!

Grade B
Orton on the microphone can’t go much wrong and it is great seeing him to be the victim. It was surprising that The Fiend didn’t come out again but a rematch against McIntyre would be great.
Hardy vs Elias
Elias and Hardy battled hard with a guitar on top of a pole. While both stars tried hard to get it, it was Hardy who got it and destroyed Elias for the win.

Hardy beats Elias
Grade C
Elias vs Hardy could have been something great but WWE have wasted this rivalry. It probably isn’t over and we should see them continue to fight for a while.
Buff Blondes in action
Mandy Rose and Dana Brooke took on the Women’s tag champions, Nia Jax and Shayna Baszler.
FLEX ON 'EM. 💪💪

Lana, the other member of the Raw Survivor Series Women’s team, watched from the ramp.
Lana proved to be a distraction for both sides and it were the champions that got the win.
Baszler and Jax beat Rose and Brooke
Grade C
Rose and Brooke looked great as a pair and it will be interesting to see if they get a proper shot at the titles later on.
Right now, it is all about Survivor Series and how dysfunctional this team is.
Truth vs Lashley
Truth thought he was fighting the Waterboy’s Bobby Bouche but ended up facing Bobby Lashley.
The Intercontinental Champion easily defeated Truth. There was more madness as later on Gulak was able to pick up the 24/7 title from Truth.
Lashley beats Truth; Gulak wins 24/7 title
Grade C
Lashley looked great in the ring and this was a smart move before his Survivor Series clash against Sami Zayn.
The 24/7 segment wasn’t all that great and WWE really needs to do something new with it.
The Monster is on Raw
AJ Styles came out with his bodyguard as he tried to get Sheamus and Keith Lee on the same page ahead of Survivor Series.
Braun Strowman made an appearance and wanted to feature for Raw. Adam Pearce was then persuaded to set up Strowman vs Sheamus vs Lee for a place on the Raw team.
A FRIGHTENING IMPACT.#WWERaw #SurvivorSeries @RealKeithLee @BraunStrowman @WWESheamus pic.twitter.com/TCLOLjEv75

The match was great and there was one scary moment for Lee. However, it was Strowman who got the win and made it to the Raw team before being kicked out by Sheamus.
Still a few things to work out for Team #WWERaw…#SurvivorSeries @WWESheamus @AJStylesOrg @BraunStrowman @RealKeithLee pic.twitter.com/3TgbauV1b1

Strowman beats Sheamus and Lee
Grade B
There is a lot of friction amongst the team members and Styles being the captain makes things interesting.
Strowman on the team is huge and he could be a game-changer for the Red brand.
Bloody Bliss
The Firefly Fun House segment was next as Alexa Bliss continued her transformation. Bray Wyatt wasn’t forgetting how Orton burned his Wyatt compound down while Bliss had something to come out of her mouth before the end of the segment.

Nia Jax then battled Lana and after the win, she put her through a table for a seventh time.
Nope, there it is.#WWERaw @NiaJaxWWE pic.twitter.com/Y3VCcFXUqn

Jax beats Lana
Grade A
The grade is only for the Firefly Fun House segment as Wyatt and Bliss continue to torment Orton. The less said about the Jax-Table-Lana angle the better..
New Day vs Hurt Business
MVP claimed that the Business are ready to win more gold with the Raw tag titles and the New Day in their sights.
2️⃣-for-1️⃣.#WWERaw @AustinCreedWins pic.twitter.com/rg9yrZ0nAa

Xavier Woods and Kofi Kingston berated the Business before the clash took place. Cedric Alexander and Shelton Benjamin represented the Business and it were the heels who got the win thanks to some craziness in the end.
Benjamin and Alexander beat Kingston and Woods
Grade B
The Hurt Business going for more gold is great and it will be interesting to see how they do once Survivor Series is done.
Ricochet in action
Ricochet and Tucker fought in the ring after a quarrel backstage and it was the high flyer who got the win.
HERE COMES THE MACE.
HERE COMES THE T-BAR.
THE RETRIBUTION.

Mustafa Ali then led an attack and Retribution stood tall.
Ricochet beats Tucker
Grade D
This made no sense at all since it was made just for filler and why is Tucker being made to look so bad after being the one who broke off with Otis?
McIntyre in a handicap match
Miz and Morrison worked well in the middle of the match to try and get the better of the former champion.
McIntyre took all the blows and then dominated at the end to pick up the win. Orton then attacked McIntyre before Wyatt’s laughter closed out the show.

McIntyre beats Miz and Morrison
Grade C
The match was a foregone conclusion and it is horrible that WWE are doing this to Morrison and the Miz despite them being two of the best in the ring.
Orton attacking McIntyre was expected too but the Wyatt angle seems to be interesting.
