On Monday’s episode of WWE Raw, the brand’s male Survivor Series team added four members.

While Survivor Series will be headlined by Brock Lesnar vs. Goldberg, there will be three elimination matches at the show. All of them will pit Raw and SmackDown against each other in men’s, women’s, and tag team action. SD Live made the initial challenge earlier in October.

With the October pay-per-views in the books, the focus is being put on the November 20 show. Raw began looking forward to this by beginning to put together their men’s team on Monday night.

In a promo from Mick Foley, he would reluctantly add Kevin Owens and Chris Jericho to Team Raw. When the two best friends started mocking the Raw General Manager, he brought out Roman Reigns as the third member of the squad.

Before this, there would be a backstage segment where Foley told Braun Strowman that there would be a battle royal later on the show. This would determine the fourth member of Team Raw at Survivor Series.

A little over mid-way through Raw, the battle royal would take place and see Strowman last eliminate Sami Zayn to win. His victory can be seen below.

We now have four members of Team Raw set with the fifth still to be determined. Options could include Seth Rollins, Rusev, and Zayn. Given his status on The Flagship Show, The Architect may be the favorite for this spot, especially with three heels on the team (four depending on how you view Reigns).

The road to Survivor Series is taking shape and should be an interesting ride as we get closer to Sunday, November 20 in Toronto, Canada.
