Wrestling Roundup: December 1st, 2020

The Wrestling Roundup is here to bring you all the news and rumors you need to know in one place.

WWE Raw Results

Coming out of this week’s Raw, we’re going to know who Drew McIntyre’s next challenger is going to be. One of A.J. Styles, Matt Riddle, or Keith Lee would get the next crack at TLC. What else would happen as we get closer to TLC? Odds are someone is going to become a big fan of chairs for the next couple weeks. Here are the full results from Raw this week:

• Jeff Hardy def. Elias in a Symphony of Destruction match
• SLAPJACK def. Ricochet
• Asuka & Lana def. Shayna Baszler & Nia Jax
• Cedric Alexander def. Xavier Woods
• A.J. Styles def. Keith Lee & Matt Riddle to become #1 Contender for the WWE Championship
• Dana Brooke def. Reckoning
• Drew McIntyre & Sheamus def. Miz & Morrison by disqualification

I feel like it isn’t news to say that Jeff Hardy did something that scared us. However, this week he had quite the scare on his final Swanton Bomb. Hardy hit his head and neck on the steel steps as he landed. Here’s hoping Jeff is okay.

A.J. Styles will battle Drew McIntyre next for the WWE Championship. It’s a fresh matchup with two of the biggest stars in WWE at the moment. This should be a doozy.

Many congratulations to the happy couple. 

One for the Road:

We’re slowly but surely creeping towards an Asuka-Lana Women’s Tag Team Championship run. I have no idea if this is a positive or a negative, but it definitely is interesting.
