WWE RAW Results, Highlights, Winners & Reactions for December 21, 2020

Welcome to Ringside News’ live results coverage of WWE RAW. Tonight features the fallout from yesterday’s TLC pay-per-view. Feel free to refresh this page all night long for updates (while the show is in progress), while also leaving your reactions in the comments section.

The company is teasing that two feuds will continue this evening, in Randy Orton vs Bray Wyatt and AJ Styles vs WWE Champion Drew McIntyre.

Orton lit aflame “The Fiend” last night, while McIntyre successfully defended his title against Styles in a TLC match that also saw The Miz unsuccessfully cash in his Money in the Bank briefcase.

Additionally, Charlotte Flair returned yesterday as Asuka’s mystery tag team partner. The pair won the Women’s Tag Team Championships off of Nia Jax and Shayna Baszler, and Charlotte will likely have something to say about her return this evening.

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

Charlotte kicks off tonight’s show, with her tag title in tow. First, there’s a replay of her and Asuka’s win from yesterday.

Charlotte begins by saying “what would the ThunderDome be without the queen? My first night at the ThunderDome I walked in as champion, because that’s who I am at my core.” Charlotte also noted that Asuka — a friend — needed a hand yesterday and she stepped up. She then welcomes Asuka, her greatest opponent ever.

Asuka takes the mic, speaking in Japanese before saying the empress of tomorrow is the double champion. She adds that Nia and Shayna were not ready for Asuka, and were definitely not ready for her partner Charlotte.

Charlotte then starts asking about the RAW Women’s Championship. Before the conversation can continue, Jax and Baszler enter.

Jax jokes that it’s so good to see Charlotte. She reminds her that she’s the one who injured her arm, and says that her “robotic voice” hasn’t changed. Charlotte commends “that robot voice kicked your ass last night.”

Shayna changes the tone, saying she and Jax hand out “seasons beatings,” including one to Kairi Sane and one to Lana.
