Orton Interview w/Charley

Orton confirms he didn’t burn Alexa, but he didn’t do it and he hates himself for it. Talks about the Fiend changing people, and how if he could channel that hatred for himself onto others, he could do big things in the 2021. He’s gonna go find some legends and fuck em up.

NYE Stream recap with Garza winning 24/7 title from R-Truth

Charlotte/Asuka vs. Lacey Evans/Peyton Royce

Awful PIP promo with Lacey and Peyton

They isolate Charlotte, but continue to have zero tag chemistry

Charlotte and Lacey fight on the outside as we go to commercial cuz Charlotte didn’t like that Lacey was tryin to hit at Ric

Asuka isolated, gets hot tag to Charlotte, some wild shenanigans, Lacey almost sucks face with Ric, Charlotte baseball slides her out, she gets the upper hand on Peyton, but RIC TRIPS UP CHARLOTTE allowing Peyton to get the pin on Charlotte. This was actually much more fun than I had figured it would be. Charlotte then gets in Ric’s face and says stay out of my business again, get out, Ric gets to stepping.

Mark Henry chatting up Ricochet backstage, tells Rico to keep his head up, Orton comes over to Mark, tells Mark he’s entering himself into the Rumble, asks if Mark did the same, then says oh yeah probs not, you’re old. You’re on a scooter, how fast does that go? Hopefully fast enough to get away from your ass. Orton claims he owes Henry he owes him receipts for all of those slams, but he’ll give him a pass if he peddles his ass out now. Mark does peddle.

Goldberg comes out

Says you got it all, but the one thing you don’t got, is respect. When you address these legends, you see them as washed up. You think not one of them poses a threat to you. You’re wrong, it’s about respect. I’m challenging you to a match at the RR.

Drew: Fighting you would be like fighting my Dad. Goldberg pushes Drew to the ground. Hard cut to STONE COLD BROKEN SKULL WITH ROB RIGGLE!
