Several Matches Set For 12/18 Episode Of WWE Raw

It's the last episode of WWE Raw before Christmas, and we have a couple of matches, and a big appearance already confirmed.

After last week's inconclusive ending to the Kane vs. Braun Strowman match to determine a top contender for the WWE Universal Championship, champion Brock Lesnar and his advocate Paul Heyman will appear to address the situation and the upcoming WWE Royal Rumble pay-per-view.

Mike Rome announced two confirmed matches for the evening, as former TNA World Champion Samoa Joe will take on former WWE Champion Seth Rollins. You may remember that Joe put Rollins on the shelf for several weeks ahead of this year's WrestleMania. 

Also set for the show is Sasha Banks, Bayley and Mickie James against Absolution. The first time the two teams were slated to compete, Absolution took out Mickie James and Bayley. 

Previously announced was a top contender tournament finals match pitting Drew Gulak against Cedric Alexander for the opportunity to face Enzo Amore for the WWE Crusierweight Championship.
