Charlotte Flair Promo

When a friend asks for help and there’s something in it for me, I respond. My friend, the heartbeat of Thunderdome, ASUKA:

Asuka says they weren’t ready for my partner, the Queen charlotte flair

Charlotte says what about the Raw Women’s championship, friend to friend--

She gets interrupted by Shayna and Nia

Nia: I see it took all of six months to heal up that broken arm, but it hasn’t cured your robotic arm

Charlotte says I kicked your ass last night

NIa and Shayna says they hand out Season’s Beatings to people who have been bad

Mandy and Dana Brooke interrupt

Mandy says we look the same as we did last week but NIa and Shayna look different, speaking of reindeers, the only thing Nia likes is a set of antlers

Mandy Rose/Dana Brooke vs. Nia Jax/Shayna Baszler

Nia/Shayna isolate Mandy and work Mandy’s knee

Dana Brooke has the elbow stomp solved, but she taps out to the Kirafuna Clutch :(

After the match, Shayna and Nia challenge Asuka & Charlotte to get in the ring, Mandy and Dana attack them before the challenge is accepted

Champions Edition of VIP Lounge

MVP: Does his VIP lounge promo, Shelton says last night we proved why we’re better than any tag team in the locker room- CEDRIC INTERRUPTS: ESPECIALLY the new day! We’re not surrounded by unicorns and pancakes, we’re surrounded by champagne and gold. Calls himself Cedric PRIME Alexander, then Lashley: there’s not a man alive who can beat me for this title.

MVP says he invited a photographerHAHAHA R-Truth poses behind them!

Here comes the 24/7 division they run around the trees

Jeff Hardy and Riddle come out, MVP says you weren’t invited (24/7 division run by, Raw is so fucking corny)

RIddle says why are you spending so much money at the club? Chill out and relax with the homies, grill up some tasty treats get toasted, listen to Rogan or watch chapelle, escape the day to day grind, he just keeps talking and talking

AJ interview backstage, he wants to see what Miz has to say for himself, he’s mad about last night

MIZ TV

MIz says he failed his family when he didn’t successfully cash in, but he also owes an apology to someone else AJ STYLES

Miz passionately apologizes to AJ, offers him the chance to be in the marine 7, he posts a poster on the tron with a small AJ and a large OMOS behind Miz, they all start yelling at each other, OMOS points out that Morrison cashed in not Miz, Miz says yeah I want my MITB back, Drew interrupts, him and Keith and Sheamus all read some lame holiday poem til they all fight and fucking HELL this is boring.

AJ kicks Keith Lee into Sheamus, who was loading up for a Brogue Kick to the Miz, which gets Sheamus mad at Lee cuz everyone is booked like dullards.

Retribution promo on Ricochet: you think one man can change everything, that’s a lie, you should be standing next to us

Drew calms Keith Lee over Sheamus- imagine the damage we can all do out there if we’re on the same page

T-Bar vs. Ricochet

T-Bar gets the early advantage, throwing Ricochet around

On the outside, Mace goes after Ricochet, Ricochet makes him look like a fool, T-Bar lays him out, puts him back in, Ali holds T-Bar off, preaches at Ricochet, Rico starts hitting him, T-Bar grabs him and gives him a GTO for 3

Jaxson Ryker vs. Gran Metalik

Metalik ranas ELias off the top turnbuckle after Elias went up to play guitar and sing

RYker wins with sitout chokebomb

Randy Orton I burned the fiend alive; a normal person would have regrets if they set another man on fie, the fiend is no man, I am not normal, last night Ienjoyed every single second as I watched the fiend burn. He talks about the stench of burning flesh- the voices in my head were gone, the only thing I’m hearing is the fiend gasping for his last breath as those flames grew higher. The Fiend is gone. The Fiend is no more. And I am the evil sonofabitch that took him out.

Fiend lights go out. Randy leaves the ring, muttering no no no. Behind him is Alexa in a swing set in the ring. “Expecting someone else? He built this for me, we’ll call it alexa’s playground. I bet you’re wondering where is he. He could be a tanning salon. He was looking pale. Maybe the beach, but I hope he doesn’t get sunburned. He could be eating bbq. Its almost as if he absorbed into the mat, under the ground, he’s home. But if he ever leaves home, he may come back to Alexa’s playground, and if he does, it’ll be like nothing you’ve ever seen before. The lights go out, they come back up for commentary. Commentary talking about fiend being burned alive and pivoting to women’s tag team action is hilarious.

Peyton and Lacey Evans interview pre-match

They both seem incredibly uncomfortable like Patrick Ewing in a Supersonics jersey

They isolate Asuka, then argue over stuff

Asuka gets hot tag, Charlotte basically single handedly wins the match, tapping out Peyton Royce

Team faces work well with each other, AJ dumps Sheamus through a table

Sheamus comes back, hits White Noise on Styles

Drew gets tagged in, throws Miz around, then Morrison ON Miz

AJ lays into Drew with a candy cane kendo stick, then eats a power bomb through the table with egg nog, Morrison and Sheamus go at it with kendo sticks

Sheamus tags himself in, wants his brogue kick, Lee tags himself in, lands in Omos’ arms, who puts him through a table

Lee spirit bombs Miz, gets 3
