RAW

The show opened with a recap of last week's main event.
Roman Reigns delivered a promo about Royal Rumble and his match against KO for the Universal Championship and Jericho being in the shark cage above the match, which was interrupted by Chris Jericho and Kevin Owens.
KO asks Roman if he’s okay, because he sounds delusional or he has an overactive imagination or maybe he’s just confused. Something did happen to him that confused him last week, he got a receipt for all the countless superstars he’s powerbombed through the announce table
Jericho calls Reigns a stupid idiot. Jericho threatens to walk to the ring and knock Reigns chicklets out of his mouth. Reigns asks Jericho if he is offering him a rematch. Owens tells Reigns that he can have his rematch. Jericho is livid. Owens says he had a premonition that Reigns doesn’t have a chance. Reigns says he is going to win the U.S. title back tonight, and he is going to win the WWE Universal championship at Royal Rumble. Why? Because Reigns is something Owens will never be in the WWE: The Guy.

Awesome Main Event! This and Seth vs. Sami was incredible on its own. As, we get closer to Royal Rumble! I'm grading on just half of the show but most the show was entertaining as well.
