# How will Shane McMahon & Paige respond to Raw’s Survivor Series bombshells?

* Survivor Series, the one night each year when SmackDown and Raw face off in head-to-head competition, is almost here, and the lineups for each brand’s teams are beginning to take shape.
Last night, Raw revealed that Braun Strowman, Dolph Ziggler and Drew McIntyre would be heading into battle while Acting Raw GM Baron Corbin takes on a managerial role on Nov. 18 on the men’s side, while Alexa Bliss will captain the women’s squad.
How will Team Blue respond? We know that Paige has offered Charlotte Flair the captaincy for the women’s team, but The Queen turned her down. Will she reconsider? How will SmackDown LIVE’s men’s team begin to form?

# Will Becky Lynch respond to Ronda Rousey?

* Last night on Raw, Ronda Rousey responded to SmackDown Women’s Champion Becky Lynch by reminding her exactly who she is two weeks before their Champion vs. Champion battle at Survivor Series. The Raw Women’s Champion welcomed Lynch’s aggression, telling The Irish Lass Kicker to bring all her anger to Los Angeles.
