WWE Raw Results

After TLC on Sunday, the landscape of WWE looks different heading into the end of 2020. Charlotte returned and won the Women’s Tag Titles with Asuka. Miz failed a cash-in attempt and Drew McIntyre retained the WWE Championship. Oh, and Randy Orton literally set The Fiend on fire.

What could WWE possibly book to follow their wild TLC show? Here are the results from Monday’s Raw:

Nia Jax & Shayna Baszler def. Mandy Rose & Dana Brooke
Angel Garza def. Drew Gulak
T-Bar def. Ricochet
Hurt Business def. Jeff Hardy & Matt Riddle
Jaxson Ryker def. Gran Metalik
Asuka & Charlotte Flair def. Peyton Royce & Lacey Evans
Drew McIntyre, Sheamus & Keith Lee def. A.J. Styles, Miz & John Morrison in a Holiday Street Fight

In some surprising continuity, Bray Wyatt did now show up on Monday night after being burned alive. Instead, it was Alexa Bliss in his place. Bliss said that The Fiend is at home, but will be something even more extreme should he come back. This may mean The Fiend is retired for now, and Orton only burned away The Fiend and Bray Wyatt still remains. It’s intriguing, if a little confusing.
