WWE RAW Results 18th December 2017, Latest Monday Night Raw winners and many more !!!!
A highlight of the Braun Strowman-Kane feud was shown to start WWE RAW
The Beast Incarnate has a monstrous face-off
It was RAW GM Kurt Angle who started off WWE's flagship show. He started off about Brock Lesnar's Royal Rumble opponent and said that since Lesnar was present in the arena, he would decide his opponent by the end of the night.
Braun Strowman cut him off and said he made a compelling case, saying that he was the last man standing. Kane came out and said that he caused destruction more than anyone in WWE for 20 years. He said that Lesnar's victims are impressive, and while it does include his brother, The Undertaker, it doesn't include him.
Kane said he'll get the match at the Royal Rumble unless Strowman was man enough to stop him. Right then, Paul Heyman's "Ladies and Gentleman" cut them off. He said there won't be a discussion without the title holder, who came out: Brock Lesnar.
Lesnar paced forth to the ring and as he entered the ring, Kurt Angle made a quick announcement that it'll be a triple threat match and he ran out of there.
The Universal Champion then attacked Strowman and hit an F-5 on Kane, standing tall.
Seth Rollins vs Samoa Joe gets "replaced"
Jason Jordan came out to a chorus of boos as he entered before Samoa Joe. He said that while he wasn't the guy Rollins wanted to see, but he had been asking his father Kurt Angle for the match for weeks ago and that he was done asking.
He told Rollins that he had a bone to pick with Joe and that Rollins would have to have wait till he was done. Rollins picked up a mic and he got cut off soon by Joe. Samoa Joe suggested that Jordan and Rollins have a match and the winner get "put to sleep" by him later in the night.
Rollins told Joe the match was made and called him to the ring while Jordan sought his dad's approval. Jordan shoved Rollins down and this provoked The Architect to make the match with him.
Seth Rollins vs Jason Jordan
Seth Rollins first shoved Jordan out of the ring and post-break, Jordan threw Rollins into the barricade. He was in control for quite some time, that is until Rollins slammed him face first into the barricade. That only lasted momentarily as Jordan suplexed The Architect.
Rollins hit a suicide dive to turn the pace to his favour. If there's one thing we learnt, it's that Jordan's back-to-back northern lights suplexes are like Sami Zayn's blue thunder bomb or Corbin's Deep Six: Looks devastating but never puts the opponent away.
Rollins and Joe had a tense confrontation and threw Jordan into hin. He then superkicked Joe, clean-cut! Jordan nearly got the pinfall but Rollins hit the Kingslayer for the win.

Asuka vs Alicia Fox
The crowd started chanting "Asuka's gonna kill you". Alicia Fox tried to avoid Asuka as much as she could, but we all know that isn't possible for long. Asuka even taunted Alicia Fox before getting the better of her on every occasion.
Alicia Fox took control for a short while with a kick. She even hit two right hands, provoking The Empress Of Tomorrow. She hit a missile dropkick. She hit a kick to the head and then transitioned into an armbar for an easy win.

Seth Rollins, Dean Ambrose & Jason Jordan vs The Bar & Samoa Joe
Seth Rollins was set to go against Joe but Jordan tagged in to face Joe himself. The up-and-comer Jordan got it taken to him via Joe and The Bar.
Rollins finally managed to tag himself in and took the fight to Cesaro whilst knocking Joe and Sheamus off the apron. The heels eventually took complete control over Rollins. Even when he tried tagging him, Joe caught him and lay a further beatdown on him.
Things eventually broke down outside and Ambrose wiped everybody out. Ambrose threw Rollins in the ring so he could give the tag, but Cesaro booted Ambrose off the apron. Rollins hit a suicide dive on Joe, Cesaro and Ambrose too. It seems like Ambrose got injured because the ringside doctor came and took a look at him.
Right after that, Rollins checked on him and went in the ring, only to eat a brogue kick by Sheamus for the pin.
Samoa Joe & The Bar defeated Seth Rollins, Dean Ambrose and The Shield

After the match backstage, Kurt Angle thanked Slater & Rhyno but said that with Christmas coming, things need to change for them. Slater seemed confused but Rhyno made it clear that Slater needed a change in attitude and told him he knew the perfect way to toughen him up.
Elias began his performance and declared his entry to the Royal Rumble next month. Sasha Banks interrupted him and Elias seemed happy to be joined by someone. He got interrupted by Mickie James and then Bayley.
Elias, sick of the interference decided to leave. Bayley tried to hug him while they crossed paths, but Elias refused and walked away.
Chaos turns into a historic announcement
It was originally scheduled to be Bayley, Sasha Banks & Mickie James vs Absolution.
Mickie James and Paige started off the action. Absolution's leader took out Bayley and distracted the referee while DeVille and Rose attacked the legal Sasha.
Paige ordered Mandy and Sonya to go after Mickie and Bayley. Sasha began and attacked Paige. Mandy Rose and Sonya DeVille interfered and attacked Sasha to the point that the match got DQ'd.
Sasha Banks, Mickie James & Bayley defeated Absolution by DQ.
Post-match, Nia Jax came out and hit a double Samoan drop on Mandy Rose and Sonya DeVille. Paige attacked Nia's legs and the three hounded Nia. The rest of the roster interjected and things broke down quickly.
Stephanie McMahon came out and it all stopped. All signs pointed towards a Women's Royal Rumble announcement. And the announcement was made official. All the women on the roster then seemingly broke character and unified in "Yes!" chants. It was bizarre in the sense that they all just seemed happy and it ended abruptly. Regardless, history is being made!
