Lots of creative changes for WWE Raw brand (Patreon)

Fightful has been informed that creative plans shifted for “virtually everyone at the top of the Raw roster” following Survivor Series. The original plan was for Braun Strowman to challenge Drew McIntyre as reported by Wrestling Observer. However, the injury that he sustained caused the tournament to be put together, and several programs to be adjusted from anywhere between one to three weeks. The script for Monday's Raw show was sent out less than 25 minutes before it went on the air.
