Stephanie McMahon Names Kurt Angle Captain for WWE Raw's Survivor Series Team

Stephanie McMahon returned to Raw on Monday night and dropped a bombshell on Raw general manager Kurt Angle.

McMahon announced Angle will captain Team Raw against Team SmackDown Live at Survivor Series on Nov. 19. Should Raw lose, McMahon also said Angle will lose his post as the Raw GM. WWE shared McMahon's proclamation:

McMahon appeared on Raw a week after her brother Shane and the SmackDown Live roster laid siege to WWE's flagship program. SmackDown Live stars attacked their Raw brethren backstage to close out the show.

Neither Raw nor SmackDown Live has finalized its five-man team for Survivor Series. Randy Orton beat Sami Zayn on SmackDown Live to become the first wrestler for Team SmackDown Live.

The Survivor Series elimination match will be Angle's second match back since returning to WWE earlier this year to be inducted into the company's Hall of Fame. He was a surprise replacement for Roman Reigns at TLC: Tables, Ladders & Chairs after Reigns came down with a viral infection.

Whereas the stakes were relatively low for the Olympic gold medalist at TLC, he'll be wrestling for his job when he steps inside the squared circle at Survivor Series.
