RAW Results - 18th November, 2013
Location: Nashville, TN
Announcers - Jerry "The King" Lawler, JBL, Michael Cole

Last week, Hunter and Stephanie were not on Raw so there was a question about who was in charge. After finding out that everyone was in charge, we saw Alberto Del Rio attack John Cena. We also saw Big Show attack Randy Orton. We also saw 12 men battle at the end of Raw. Now that Stephanie and Hunter are back in the Country, we can see what they will do.
We are in Nashville, Tennessee and your announcers are Michael ‘Vince Gill’ Cole, John ‘Willie Nelson’ Layfield, and Jerry ‘Lee Lewis’ Lawler.

In case you wanted that twelve man tag match at Survivor Series, you will get it for free tonight.

It is Country Game Time as Triple H comes to the ring with a Principal Owner of WWE and Mother of the COO’s children, Stephanie McMahon.

Hunter says that without Authority, then Chaos rules. That was what we had last week. Hunter says that they couldn’t have been more disappointed about how Raw turned out last week.

We get a feeble excuse me from Vickie Guerrero and Brad joins her. Brad says that he likes to take responsibility for his actions, but last week was all Vickie’s fault.

Hunter says that it doesn’t matter whose fault it is, they all have to pay tonight.

Stephanie says that with all of the handicap matches last week, they are desensitized to the damage that those matches can do to the Divas and Superstars. Therefore, Vickie and Brad will be in individual matches.

Vickie will face AJ Lee. Hunter says that even though it was all Vickie’s fault, he will have a match tonight . . . maybe right now, dressed exactly how he is. Brad will face Randy Orton. Hunter says that to make it fair, it will be No Disqualification.
