WWE Monday Night Raw preview: December 11, 2017
The next episode of WWE RAW is upon us as we slowly inch closer to the historic 1000th one, which will be telecast live from the Barclays Center and Manhattan Center in New York
The roster is coming on the back of their hugely successful India tour and the WWE creative team is slowly building up for the next of the Big 4, WWE Royal Rumble.
The Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland, Ohio will host the red-brand for tonight's episode and here is the preview for what promises to be another breath-taking night.
#1 Is this the end of Kane?
Kane had a rather volatile return to WWE, with the Big Red Machine destroying anything and everything that crossed his path. He got a couple over Strowman in the months since his return but it was The Monster Among Men who absolutely forced Kane into submission with his brute strength, endearing The Big Red Machine's body to a few explosive Running Powerslams.
Strowman's destruction of Elias was interrupted by Kane last week, when he appeared on the TitanTron and teased a confrontation between the two monsters for tonight. Kane had said, “Together, we will descend into the abyss. But only one monster will emerge.”
Indeed only one monster will emerge from this feud and we all know it won't be the Big Red Machine. The way the feud has been developing at a rushed pace in recent weeks, it feels the culmination is near, maybe even tonight.
WWE should ideally have saved the face-off for Royal Rumble, but I guess rumours of The Monster Among Men being a strong contender to win the 30-man elimination match may not have been just smoke without fire.
Whatever it is, the decision to make Kane look so week only a few weeks ago, and WWE's eagerness to push Strowman, all signals towards the end of the Big Red Machine.
It had to come, but like this and so soon?
