RAW

This week’s RAW opens with a look back at he close of last week’s show where Big E cashed in the Money In The Bank briefcase to become the new WWE Champion.

New Day come to the ring and the fans shower Big E with “you deserve it” chants. Big E says it isn’t Thanksgiving yet but he’s here to thank those who chanted “New Day rocks”. He’s thankful for everyone who cheered as he climbed the ladder and retrieved the Money In The Bank briefcase. And he’s eternally grateful for the fans who lost their minds last week. He’s grateful for those below the Heavens and for the one incredible soul above – the fans chant “Brodie”.

However tonight’s celebration will be cut short by The Uso’s and the head of the table, the tribal chief, Roman Reigns. Big E says RAW is their show and so tonight they will send The Bloodline packing because “New Day rocks!” As the fans chant, Roman Reigns’s music hits and out comes the Universal Champion. Roman and Big E hold their titles in the air and stare each other down.

*Commercial Break*

Alexa welcomes us to her playground. She says Charlotte holds a real special place near her heart and then introduces her. Flair comes to the ring and Bliss tells her to make herself comfortable. Flair says she’d rather remind everyone that Bliss used to be a competitor and now she’s a joke. Bliss tells her to not be so serious, then says she noticed that she didn’t bring Charli with her. The fans chant “we want Charli” and Bliss pulls her out from under the slide.

Charlotte says she’s making a fool out of herself. She doesn’t care about Charli, she wants the five feet of fury, little miss Bliss who was Championship material. Charlotte says this whole character is just a way to hide how broken she is. She hides behind the horrible make-up and the toys. She used to come to the ring with a title on her arm and now she has a doll. So how does it feel that a doll is more popular than her?

Flair says the only reason Alexa was ever a Champion is because they were on separate brands. Flair asks how she went from the main event of WrestleMania 35 to playing with dolls? She doesn’t play dress-up, she’s the real deal. She beat a nightmare, almost a superhero, and now she’s going to beat a grown-ass woman who dresses like a child. She asks Bliss if she wants her to beat the sense into her tonight or on Sunday?

Bliss sighs and says we all get it; she’s the best, she’s won all the titles, she’s the Queen. Bliss says she might have won more belts but that just means she’s lost more. Bliss asks who is Charlotte Flair without a title? Nobody knows because Flair doesn’t know. Without a title to brag about she has nothing. She is nothing. Bliss says she doesn’t need mind-games to expose her. She’s terrified of losing her title, what would she have to talk about? The fans “woo” and Bliss says that isn’t even yours, then Flair says let’s not talk originality and points at Bliss.

Alexa says she wanted Flair to have the doll because even a self-centred bitch like her needs happiness. So call her crazy but she knows who she is and after Sunday she will call her Champ. Flair mocks Alexa and says lucky for her, she’ll never find out who Charlotte is without the title. Bliss jumps on Charlotte but gets thrown off. Charlotte hits her with a big boot, then lifts Charli up. Charlotte rips the head off Charli and drops it beside Bliss. Flair then grabs Lilly but Alexa kicks her out of the ring.
