WWE RAW aired live from the Royal Farms Arena in Baltimore, MD on October 30th. Last week’s episode of RAW ended with SmackDown attacking the RAW roster. Here are 7 takeaways for this week’s episode of RAW:
7Stephanie McMahon Gave Kurt Angle An Ultimatum
RAW GM Kurt Angle kicked off RAW with the entire RAW roster on the entrance ramp. Angle apologized to the RAW locker room and said that he let he let his friendship with Shane McMahon blind him and that he will never let that happen again. RAW Commissioner Stephanie McMahon came down to the ring and stated that she thinks that Angle has been doing a great job throughout all chaos.
Stephanie added that Angle earned her respect, until he allowed SmackDown to put RAW under siege. Stephanie blamed Angle for allowing this to happen and called him incompetent. Stephanie then named Kurt Angle the team captain for Survivor Series and said that she expected dominance at the event. If not, she will have to find a new GM of RAW. Stephanie and Angle were shown backstage. Stephanie said that she meant everything that she said and that Angle should ask Mick Foley if he doesn’t believe her.

I figured that Angle and Shane McMahon would be a part of Team RAW and Team SmackDown at Survivor Series. Stephanie McMahon cut a great promo tonight and it was good to see her back on RAW. This storyline is entertaining and Angle showed he could still go in the ring at TLC. Shane McMahon is still an absolute maniac, so if he is added to the match Survivor Series could be very entertaining.
