WWE Raw Live Results, Coverage and Analysis for Survivor Series Go-Home Show
wwe-wallpapers.com
Happy Monday, everyone, and welcome to the Bleacher Report live WWE Raw coverage for Nov. 12, 2012.
We are six days out from Survivor Series and this is WWE's last chance to make any changes they want to make for the card.
Team Foley is still down one man against Team Ziggler, so tonight could and should see the revealing of the final man.
Will it be Mick Foley himself?
Will it be a mid-card superstar in need of a PPV spot to get some exposure?
Hopefully we get the answer tonight. The WWE title match and World title match will likely see a last effort to push the feud into the PPV to build as much interest as possible.
With Kofi and Team Hell No busy in the elimination match, we still have Cesaro and Eve with titles yet to see challengers named for the PPV.
We also have John Cena not only answering to supposed new evidence from Vickie Guerrero, but WWE.com is reporting that he will battle CM Punk in a match tonight as well.
These two always have great encounters and tonight should be no different, that is unless Ryback decides to get involved.
The go-home show for Survivor Series is likely to be interesting so make sure to bookmark this page and some back at the start of the show for coverage of all the action as it happens live on Monday Night Raw.

That was an average show, but the main event was a highlight. The way they portrayed Punk as not being able to get his title from the two other challengers was clearly supposed to plant a message that anything is possible on Sunday.
The Survivor Series team adding Miz as the final member was somehow predictable despite the fact that WWE had a vote for the results.
Miz is either turning babyface or he will turn on his team and cement his status as a top heel.
The US title and Divas title have challengers in R-Truth and Kaitlyn respectively. This brings the Survivor Series card to a total of five, with four being for titles.
Hopefully WWE has time to add another match on the fly. Five matches seems like too little for a PPV to me personally.

A Veteran's Day video package opens the show. Thank You veterans!
We get a video package of what to expect. This narration thing looks like it is here to stay.
