December 6th Raw

*Live from Memphis, TN tonight.

*Seth Rollins welcomes us to “Monday Night Rollins” & proclaims that at Day 1, he will usher in a new era as champion…elsewhere, Big E. tells us that for KO, “there’s no easy way out, no shortcut home”…in yet another location backstage, Kevin Owens says that Big E. is just holding his belt for him until Day 1.

(1)  Big E. defeats Kevin Owens…in a STEEL CAGE match…around the 12 minute mark, Seth Rollins slams the cage door on both competitors…later, Owens gets one leg up & over the top of the cage…Big E. brings him back in & hits an Avalanche Big Ending before crawling out the door of the cage for the win (20:07)…AFTER…Rollins immediately attacks Big E. at ringside…as the cage raises, Rollins goes after KO…Big E. recovers in time to cut Seth off from delivering a Stomp to KO & instead delivers a belly-to-belly to Seth…then Big E. gives Owens a 2^nd Big Ending.

*Bobby Lashley attacks all 3 men involved in the cage match during the commercial break…just in case we forgot how destructive he is.

*RK-Bro-nament will see the Street Profits, AJ & Omos, Rey & Dom, & the Alpha Academy compete in a mini tournament for a shot at the tag titles.

(2)  Queen Zelina defeats Nikki ASH…Code Red for the win (02:02).

*Riddle gets Randy to wear a Monsoon-era WWE blazer for their time as guest commentators during the upcoming RK-Bro-nament.

*Rhea & Nikki get approached for an autograph backstage…but actually the fan was talking to Jerry Lawler…this does nothing to remedy Nikki’s sour mood.

(3)  RK-Bro-nament: Street Profits defeat AJ Styles & Omos by COUNT OUT…after being doubleteamed to the floor, Omos makes a blind tag as AJ sets up for the Phenomenal Forearm…Omos takes to the floor to attack Dawkins & gets counted out (09:42)…AFTER…an angry Omos storms off…Riddle interviews AJ in the ring…AJ says it was just a simple miscommunication before storming off himself.

*Becky Lynch backstage with Sarah…says it’s a huge night, for Liv Morgan…but just another Monday for Big Time Becks.

(4)  Damian Priest defeats Robert Roode…retains his United States Championship in an OPEN CHALLENGE…Reckoning for the win (09:38)…AFTER…Dolph Ziggler drops Priest with a Superkick & immediately rolls out to join Roode on the entryway.

(5)  Bianca Belair defeats Doudrop by COUNT OUT…Doudrop attacks Bianca from behind during her entrance…Doudrop rolls out after narrowly escaping a KOD & heads up the entryway & gets counted out (12:56).

*Austin Theory visits Vince’s office again…Vince is thinking about putting Theory in a match…Theory didn’t see that coming.

*MizTV…tonight’s guest: Edge…Edge compliments Miz again…Miz recounts his poor treatment as a rookie & says he doesn’t need Edge’s kindness NOW…Miz challenges Edge for a match at Day 1…Edge accepts.

*Liv Morgan backstage with Sarah…she’ll do everything in her power to take that title tonight.

*Veer Mahaan…still “coming to Raw.”

(6)  RK-Bro-nament: Rey & Dom Mysterio defeat Alpha Academy…Gable attempts a moonsault but lands on his feet & Dom immediately rolls Gable up for the win (03:15)…AFTER…Riddle tries for another interview but an angry Otis delivers a World’s Strongest Slam as Riddle screams, “I’m a journalist!”

*Vince breaks the news to Theory that he won’t be having a match & therefore needs to find another way to impress the boss…first Theory tries using his abs, but Vince says to try using his brain…Theory smiles & heads out on his quest.

(7)  Finn Balor defeats T-Bar…Coup de Grace for the win (03:38)…AFTER…Austin Theory attacks Balor, hits the ATL & grabs a selfie.

*Dana Brooke avoids Turth, Tozawa, Reggie, & Tamina on the loading dock.

*MVP & Bobby Lashley backstage with Kevin Patrick…what you saw done to Rollins, Big E., & Owens earlier is what happens when you disrespect Bobby Lashley by having a WWE Championship match without so much as a mention of Bobby.

(8)  Becky Lynch defeats Liv Morgan…retains her Raw Women’s Championship…Liv counters the Manhandle Slam with a wheel barrow roll up from underneath…Becky reverses the roll up & holds onto the rope for leverage once again for the win (14:50).
