WWE RAW Results – December 7, 2020

Welcome to Ringside News’ live results coverage of WWE RAW. The TLC pay-per-view on Dec. 20 is quickly approaching, and tonight’s show will feature further build to some key storylines.

Tonight’s main event will see WWE Champion Drew McIntyre and long-time friend Sheamus team up to take on #1 contender AJ Styles, as well as Mr. Money in the Bank The Miz and John Morrison in a handicap match. Styles tried his best to help the Miz cash in last week on McIntyre, and chances are we’ll see similar shenanigans this evening.

Additionally, Randy Orton — who takes on “The Fiend” Bray Wyatt at TLC — will visit Wyatt and Alexa Bliss at the Firefly Funhouse. Sparks are sure to fly!

All this and more on an action-packed edition of RAW.

The show opens with a ten bell salute to the late Pat Patterson.

Randy Orton enters the ring shortly after. There’s a quick video recap of Orton meeting The Fiend for the first time last week, showcasing the latter’s vulnerability: Alexa Bliss.

Orton opens his promo by saying that any ordinary man would tremble at the thought of facing The Fiend, but he’s “no ordinary man.” He adds that he doesn’t need a mask to let the darkness out. “When my time comes, I’m going to stare the devil right in the eyes and let him know that the most evil son of a bitch has come for him. In the meantime, I’m going to be waiting at the funhouse door, wondering just who exactly is going to let me in.”

Cue Bray Wyatt’s music and the firefly funhouse.

Bray welcomes Orton. He’s alone, saying that since Orton was mean to Alexa last week, he’ll have to settle for “little old him.”

Orton says he’s done with the games, but Wyatt is not. It’s time to play “Let’s get Randy.” The question is “how should Randy be punished at TLC?” The contestants, such as Ramblin Rabbit and Huskus come up with the wrong answers, but Wyatt interrupts, saying “The Fiend has the right answers.”

Orton has had enough. He wants a match with Wyatt tonight, and he accepts! That’s on for later.
