This week’s episode of WWE Monday Night Raw was loaded with big returns. Following the SmackDown invasion on Raw last week, Stephanie McMahon returned to Monday Night Raw and she berated Kurt Angle for letting the invasion happen. Stephanie then told Kurt that he will be the team captain of Team Raw at Survivor Series, and she told Kurt that if Raw doesn’t annihilate SmackDown at the pay-per-view, she’ll be looking for a new General Manager.
