WWE RAW: 3 Obscure but important details you missed this week (November 25th, 2019)
The fallout from Survivor Series dominated this week's episode of RAW since Seth Rollins was apparently hung up on the fact that the Red Brand was unable to win the battle for brand dominance the night before.
NXT wiped the floor with both SmackDown and RAW, which is why Seth Rollins was looking for some answers at the top of the show, despite losing his own match. TLC is now less than three weeks away and not only is it the final pay-per-view of 2019, but it is also the final WWE show before the Royal Rumble which begins the Road To WrestleMania.
Starrcade also takes place this weekend as a Network Exclusive event, which means that there was a lot going on during RAW, so here are a few details that many fans may have missed.
#3. Rusev's love of Bloodsport
In recent weeks, WWE seems to have developed a new policy since many Superstars have been wearing black shirts rather than promoting their own merchandise. Many WWE Superstars already wear band related shirts, but this week on RAW, Rusev came out and attacked Bobby Lashley while wearing a shirt that promoted Jean-Claude Van Damme's Bloodsport.
The shirt featured the words, "What the hell is a Dim Mack!" which is a line from the famous film. This shirt also demonstrates that Rusev wasn't supposed to be part of the show, which is why he came to the ring wearing street clothes.
Rusev is a huge fan of Bloodsport and has mentioned it a number of times on social media, so it was quite interesting for him to be able to promote the movie as part of one of the company's most controversial storylines.
