wwe-wallpapers.com
Welcome, fellow wrestling fans, to the Bleacher Report live coverage for Monday Night Raw on November 26, 2012.
Tonight's show is sure to be interesting as Michael Cole is set to talk to the three NXT superstars who have been making trouble in WWE lately.
How Ryback will react, and where CM Punk and Paul Heyman fit into all this, is yet to be seen.
We should also get some more progression on the AJ/Cena/Vickie storyline tonight, although the feeling from many fans seems to be that they would rather see it end than progress.
With WWE prepping for TLC next month there is a chance one or more matches for the event could be added tonight.
If the last couple weeks have been any indication then we are in store for at least one surprise tonight so make sure to bookmark this page and check back at the start of the show for live coverage of Monday Night Raw.

The Soup Salutes WWE is on. Time to laugh.
Tonight's show was very hit or miss. There were some great matches but many of the non-wrestling segments fell a little flat for me.
