WWE Raw just confirmed the men’s team for Survivor Series. The team features the biggest names on Monday Night Raw, and might be the most star-studded line seen: AJ Styles, Braun Strowman, Keith Lee, Sheamus and Riddle.

Team Raw is now complete

Riddle was the final member to join Team Raw, after winning a triple threat qualification match. The match was a second opportunity for Jeff Hardy, Elias and Riddle to prove their mettle to AJ Styles.

Riddle picked up the win with the Bro Derek, but his night was far from over. Styles walked out to introduce Team Raw, now completed and looking dominant as ever.

The team members started calling one another out for attacking each other on last week’s episode. As the team was about to descend into chaos once again, Riddle interrupted and chilled, in a way that only he would.

Riddle gives Raw teammates ‘sick codenames’

He gave each Team Raw member a ‘sick codename’ which will apparently keep them from beating the crap out of each other. AJ Styles will be called Skipper, Lee will be called Bro Lee, Strowman will be Mongoose and Sheamus will be Fireface.

Sheamus did not miss out on the opportunity to land a verbal jab at the former NXT Tag Team Champion. “Will you be called Dopey?” asked Sheamus, which Riddle surprisingly agreed to.

Sheamus’ verbal jab at Riddle refers to the Bro’s advocacy of the legalisation and use of marijuana. Riddle has been a long-time advocate of the legalisation and use of marijuana. He was released from his UFC contract after he failed a drug test, and marijuana was to blame.

The segment on Raw was quite a funny one and Riddle’s interruption was always welcome. He adds a sense of unity to a team that is dysfunctional to the core. Last week, each member ended up taking out another teammate until AJ Styles was left standing alone in the ring.

The segment led to a tag team match: Keith Lee and Matt Riddle vs Braun Strowman and Sheamus. AJ Styles became the special guest referee and viewed the match as a team building exercise.
