We have two championship matches as New Day defends their Raw Tag Team Championships yet again. This time against Anderson & Gallows. And Charlotte hopes for some help from her hometown crowd as she defends her Raw Women's Championship against Sasha Banks.
HIGHLIGHT REEL: Starting off the show with Chris Jericho and his special guest Kevin Owens. They begin with the regular berating of the crowd, and hating on American Thanksgiving and Black Friday. Saying Canadian is a superior breed of human being, and they're always ahead of the curve thanks to their Thanksgiving being one month earlier. They then say what they're thankful for, and KO starts off. He is thankful for being the Universal Champion, being the face of the premiere show in WWE, and of course his best friend Y2J. Jericho echoes the thankfulness for the best-friendman-ship, his killer scarf, and Seth Rollins. The epitome of a stupid idiot, and the walking example of letting your ego get the best of you. Chris Jericho says it wasn't him wearing a Sin Cara mask, it was Sin Cara wearing a Chris Jericho mask. He got the mask of Jericho and put in on maaaaaan! KO says that it doesn't matter because he had Rollins right where he wanted him, and Rollins isn't cleared to be on the show tonight. That brings out Roman Reigns. Roman says that he likes the shtick and that they make everyone laugh. Jericho says that this is no joke, and Roman says the only joke here is KO as WWE Universal Champion. KO says the real joke is that Roman calls himself "the guy", and Roman says he is still the guy while KO is just "a guy who needs help" which is why he keeps Y2J around. Owens says he doesn't need Jericho, and Roman disagrees saying that if he didn't have Y2J he would've lost that title long ago. Jericho has had enough, and that making fun of his best friend.. You know what happens? Before Jericho can finish Owens yells at him to shut up, making Jericho take a step back. He says he can take care of this himself, and that he'll powerbomb him into the apron like Rollins. Roman says thats the guy he wants to talk to. He proposed a fight, and if Reigns wins then he gets a title shot at Roadblock. Kevin Owens agrees.
*Commercial Break*
PROMO (Backstage): Kevin and Chris are backstage arguing. Jericho says he doesn't need Owens an ally, a partner, or a best friend. Owens says he will regret saying that, and then Mick Foley comes in. Foley says that KO has a match against Roman tonight to worry about, and turns his attention to Chris. Y2J stops him and says that he doesn't need to ban him from ringside and that he is over all of this and thats he is leaving. He says "see ya later, champ." and smacks KO on the arm as he leaves.
MATCH: R-Truth (w Goldust) vs. Braun Strowman
RESULTS: Braun Strowman wins via pinfall.
THOUGHTS: That took maybe 12 seconds.
After the match, Goldust goes after Strowman and pays for it dearly until Sami comes in to save the day. Sami mounts some offense, but is ultimately gets destroyed. Mick Foley then comes out before anything else can be done, and is accompanied by a group of officials.
*Commercial Break*
PROMO (In-Ring): After the commercial break, Sami is arguing with Mick saying that he needs to stop treating him like a charity case. Byron Saxton comes in and asks why he has stopped things, and he says that its a massacre by Strowman and Sami is never going to quit. So he had to save him from himself. Sami says that he needs to be saved from Mick Foley who is taking his orders from Stephanie who doesn't like him. Mick gets angry and says that no, Stephanie doesn't like him, but he needs to save him from a match that he cannot win. Sami replies by saying over the years several people told Mick he couldn't do it, and he proved them wrong. By taking his opportunity to do the same away he is nothing but a hypocrite.
PROMO (Backstage): Charlotte is backstage listening to music, and Dana interrupts her. Dana has an update on Charlottes homecoming party, and says it'll be the after party of a lifetime. Charlotte says that it better be, because she cements herself as the greatest womens wrestler ever, and ends her rivalry with Sasha forever.
*Commercial Break*
MATCH: Tony Nese (w Drew Gulak) vs. Cedric Alexander
RESULTS: Tony Nese wins via pinfall.
THOUGHTS: I'm a big fan of Nese and Alexander both. So this was a win-win for me.
*Commercial Break*
PROMO (Backstage): Charly asks Jericho if this argument is serious or a joke last weeks. He says of course its serious, and a very personal matter to him. If KO doesn't need Jericho, Jericho doesn't need him. He shoo's her away, and walks to his car. As he's leaving, Rollins shows up in the parking garage and attacks Jericho. He Pedigrees him on the roof of a car.
*Commercial Break*
RAW WOMEN'S CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH: Charlotte (c) (w Dana Brooke) vs. Sasha Banks
The match ends originally in a double count out, but later in the night the match will restart. No count out, no DQ, falls count anywhere match.
RESULTS: No result???
THOUGHTS: Why wait until later to start this match? Just do it now.
*Commercial Break*
MATCH: Rusev (w Lana) vs. Enzo Amore (w Big Cass)
RESULTS: Enzo wins via DQ.
THOUGHTS: Having Enzo piss off Rusev enough to kick him in the nuts for a DQ at least gives reasoning to have Enzo piss him off so much.
*Commercial Break*
PROMO (Backstage): Titus O'Neil is backstage talking about the Titus Brand and Mark Henry is there. He claims Mark stole something from the Titus Brand and grabs Marks arm. Mark pushes him down saying never to put his hands on him.
MATCH: Rich Swann vs. Noam Dar
Cruiserweight Champion, Brian Kendrick, is on commentary.
RESULTS: Rich Swann wins via pinfall.
THOUGHTS: Please, do not let Rich Swann win on 205 Live. I'm not a Swann fan whatsoever, and I want The Brian Kendrick to remain atop the division.
PROMO (In-Ring): Corey Graves talks to Rich Swann in the ring, and ask what it feels like to be 24 hours from a life changing opportunity. Swann says Kendrick is doubting himself as he already beat him twice. Tomorrow night he will beat him for the third time for the championship.
*Commercial Break*
PROMO (Bar?): Cesaro and Sheamus are drinking at a bar celebrating that they never have to team again. They start talking about how Foley should've never put them together, but it then boils down to them being a great team even though they can't stand one another. And that they should be champs. The some guy comes in and makes fun of Sheamus, and another guy comes in making fun of Cesaro and burps in his face. The two then team up again, and beat down everybody in the bar. The two then toast together with "partner".
*Commercial Break*
MATCH: Kevin Owens vs. Roman Reigns
If Reigns manages to win, he will get a title shot at Roadblock: End of the Line.
RESULTS: Roman Reigns wins via pinfall.
THOUGHTS: Did not expect a clean win here. I definitely thought Rollins would get involved, or maybe Jericho. Totally not ready for a clean win though.
*Commercial Break*
PROMO (Backstage): Charly gets ready to talk to an upset Kevin Owens, and he brings up what happened with Jericho. He says Chris is still his best friend, and he can't let the attack slide. All he could think about was Chris going to a medical facility, and he wasn't by his side so he lost the match.
PROMO (Interview): Paul Heyman speaks out on the destruction his client faced at Survivor Series from Goldberg. Heyman even broke down in tears at one point, trying to figure out what all went wrong. A man, twelve years absent from the ring, spears Brock once breaking his ribs. Michael Cole asks how Lesnar is handling the loss, and Heyman doubts anyone really cares. The ribs are part of the business, but the embarrassment, and the humiliation.. There is no excuse they can give. The Beast has dealt with losses before, but this is something new. Now Lesnar feels that he has something to prove, and that can define you or destroy you. There is going to be a side of Brock Lesnar that we have never seen before, and he is going to prove something. If Goldberg is in the Royal Rumble match, then Brock Lesnar is also in the Royal Rumble match.
*Commercial Break*
RAW TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH: The New Day (c) vs. Gallows & Anderson
RESULTS: New Day wins via pinfall.
THOUGHTS: Xavier Woods uses the tights on a pin to secure the win. At this point, I don't care how they win. I just want New Day to be champs forever.
PROMO (Backstage): Bayley comes in to talk to Sasha, and wishes her luck. Bayley wants to see revenge for what happened at Survivor Series. Sasha says that this isn't about Bayley, not about herself, but about the championship. This may be Charlotte's hometown, but they deserve a real champion and someone who betrayed her own father. She is going to dedicate this match to Ric Flair himself, and become a three time champ.
*Commercial Break*
RAW WOMEN'S CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH: Charlotte (c) vs. Sasha Banks
This is a no DQ, no count out, falls count anywhere match.
RESULTS: Sasha Banks wins via a Bank Statement between the rails in the stands becoming a three time Women's Champion.
THOUGHTS: What a match. Charlotte was able to do her moonsault off the announce table onto the floor, and it was pretty cool. Good use of the kendo stick, and the falls count anywhere stipulation. The unique Bank Statement was a great ending, but how many times are they going to trade this back and forth?
After the match, Ric Flair comes out to the ring as Sasha is celebrating. The crowd loves their Naitch. He raises Sasha's hand in victory, and embraces her in a hug to end the night.
