– Tonight’s WWE RAW opens live from the Valley View Casino Center in San Diego, California with WWE Intercontinental Champion Seth Rollins in the ring.

Rollins yells out “burn it down!” and says that will be his battle cry on Sunday at WWE TLC when he beats Dean Ambrose. Rollins goes on and calls out General Manager-Elect Baron Corbin to discuss the state of RAW. Michael Cole welcomes us to RAW as Corbin comes out. Cole is joined by Renee Young and Corey Graves.

Fans boo as Corbin hits the ring. Corbin says his office is always open for a top Superstar like Rollins. Rollins tells him to cut the crap, everyone is tired of hearing it. Rollins says RAW has sucked under Corbin’s leadership. It has sucked because Corbin comes out every week and makes it all about him. A “Corbin sucks!” chant starts up. Rollins says what Corbin has been doing is not alright, it’s wrong. Corbin says Rollins is frustrated but he’s allowing Rollins to vent, so Rollins should watch how he speaks to him. Rollins goes on and says Corbin has no idea what to do with the roster he has. He brings up how The Revival should be competing for the RAW Tag Team Titles but instead they’re participating in Lucha House Party Rules matches. Rollins wonders what Lucha House Rules even are. He also mocks Corbin’s weekly segments with Bobby Lashley and Drew McIntyre, and the “pee” segments with Drake Maverick. Rollins says Corbin’s actions are just masking his insecurities. Fans boo when Rollins mentions how the WWE Universal Title was just handed back to Brock Lesnar, a guy who just shows up when he wants to show up. Rollins says the problem is Brock never wants to show up. Rollins goes on about Lesnar not being here. Rollins says the last time Lesnar competed in a RAW match was 2002. Rollins says Corbin’s experimenting has been a massive failure. He points out how everything is at an all-time low, including TV ratings, and it’s all because of Corbin.

Corbin appreciates the feedback but next time Rollins should save him some time, write it on a piece of paper and leave it on his desk so he can file it under the “I don’t give a damn” category. Corbin doesn’t care what Rollins, the roster or the fans think. Corbin says RAW is his show and he will be in charge for a long time. Corbin says if Rollins thinks it’s bad now, it’s going to get a lot worse for a guy like Rollins. Corbin says Ambrose will beat Rollins on Sunday at TLC and then Corbin will defeat Braun Strowman by forfeit. Corbin says he will then make Rollins’ life a living hell, starting the next night on RAW. Rollins asks why wait, why don’t they have a one-on-one match tonight? Fans pop. Corbin says he will be permanent General Manager as of Sunday… Rollins interrupts and points out how there are tables, ladders and chairs all over… and Corbin just said he always wanted to have a TLC match, so why not have one tonight? Fans pop. Corbin goes on and says no. He keeps talking but Rollins calls him a coward every time he tries to speak. Corbin makes the TLC match for tonight and says the Intercontinental Title will be on the line. Corbin leaves as his music hits.
