Welcome to our WrestlingINC.com Live WWE Monday Night RAW Viewing Party. Tonight's show comes from the Golden 1 Center in Sacramento, California.

- Tonight's WWE RAW opens live from the Golden 1 Center in Sacramento, California as Michael Cole welcomes us. He's joined by Renee Young.

- We go right to the ring as WWE Chairman Vince McMahon makes his way out to a pop. JoJo does the introduction.

Vince takes the mic and jokes that he doesn't want to hear any boos. Fans boo. Vince says everyone is wondering what's happening with RAW and that's why he is here. He says RAW has been on for 25 years and they change with the times. Vince says despite one man's creativity and vision, he can't do it all by himself any longer, that's for sure. Fans are giving him the "what!?" treatment. Vince says he can do it without the fans though. They boo again. Vince introduces RAW Commissioner Stephanie McMahon and out she comes. Cole says Corey Graves will join them later on commentary.

Fans boo Stephanie. Vince introduces Triple H next and out he comes to a pop. Vince and Stephanie both hugged Vince as they entered. Vince introduces SmackDown Commissioner Shane McMahon next and here he comes. The stage is decorated for Christmas. Shane also hugs his father.

Stephanie admits they haven't been doing a very good job lately and that's why they are here tonight. They haven't been doing the one thing their farther taught them – listen to the audience. She says they have let middle managers air their grievances and that has suffocated the Superstars but that ends tonight, and the fresh start begins tonight. Triple H says the days of absent management are over and as of now, the four of them will be taking back Monday Night RAW. Shane says that goes for SmackDown as well because the four of them are responsible for making sure fans have the best possible experience there is. Stephanie says they're going to empower the Superstars and empower the fans. Triple H says more importantly, they will give the fans what they want. Triple H says we will be seeing new faces, new Superstars, new matches. As of now, the fans are the authority. Vince says as long as they give the fans more of what we want, instead of more that we don't want, WWE will always be... Then. Now. Forever.

Vince's "No Chance" music starts back up as The McMahon Family talks among themselves. Fans boo as the music interrupts and out comes Baron Corbin. Corbin addresses Vince and says no one wants a fresh start more than he does. Fans boo louder at Corbin. Stephanie says she's not sure if Corbin can hear them but they're booing him loudly.

Corbin says they need to talk. Just a simple conversation. We go to commercial as the boos continue.

Back from the break and Corbin is in the ring now. He says the boos don't matter because it's Sacramento. Corbin asks if they're finished but the boos continue. Triple H says it's hard for Corbin to speak if they keep doing that. They boo that. Corbin asks how he's supposed to explain himself if they keep on. They boo again. Triple H asks them to stop so Corbin can speak. They boo again. Corbin asks Stephanie to ask them to stop. She says Vince is getting a little old and hard of hearing, which was just a set-up for more loud boos. Shane also gets them to boo Corbin again. Corbin goes to speak but the boos continue. Fans chant "you suck!" at Corbin. Vince reminds Corbin he has a mic, not the fans.

Corbin says what has happened is not his fault. He addresses TLC and says Braun Strowman was not supposed to be there. Corbin says he wasn't prepared, especially for the different Superstars Strowman brought with him. Corbin asks if fans think that was fair and they pop, then do the "yes!" chant. Triple H is going to help Corbin out because he's unpredictable. He says Corbin wants them to reconsider him as General Manager of RAW. He says yes and he feels like they will right the wrong. Corbin says he would still be GM if it weren't for Apollo Crews, WWE Hall of Famer Kurt Angle, Heath Slater, Finn Balor and RAW Tag Team Champions Chad Gable & Bobby Roode. He asks if they will overturn the decision and says to just imagine what they can all do together. Shane says that's a negative from him. Triple H agrees. Stephanie says there's "no chance in hell" at that happening. Vince says there might be a way. The McMahons talk it over again.

Triple H says maybe they have a way for Corbin to become GM again, maybe there's a way for this to all go away. Fans boo. Corbin says all he needs is a chance. Triple H says they should give Corbin that chance. More boos. Triple H says if Corbin can win his match tonight, right now, then he can become the permanent General Manager of RAW.
