RAW

The show opens with a video package for Braun Strowman's recent reign of terror.

Chris Jericho comes out to a big pop for the Highlight Reel.


After Jericho talks about his match with Owens at Payback, The Miz and Dean Ambrose each come out to interrupt. The Miz tries to cancel The Highlight Reel, so Ambrose cancels MizTV. It's the battle of WWE talks shows.



Ambrose gives Jericho a brand new light up jacket to pay him back for the one he destroyed during their last feud. Jericho makes a joke about the last gift he received not going over so well


Jericho likes Ambrose's cheap jacket with a string of christmas lights on it, but The Miz says it looks awful and says he should be the one getting gifts. Ambrose says he has one for him and hits Dirty Deeds. Jericho, wearing his fancy new jacket, puts Maryse on The List for being married to The Miz.

Braun Strowman vs. Kalisto in a Dumbster Match

Kalisto won 
Braun Strowman attacked Kalisto in rage of Kalisto wining.

After demolishing Kalisto at ringside, Strowman drops him in the dumpster, closes the top and starts to roll it up the ramp. A few producers come out to try and talk some sense into Strowman, but their pleas fall on deaf ears. Braun ties the top shut with a tow strap. It looks like he is going to walk away, but then he pushes the dumpster off the stage.



Dana Brooke Alicia Fox 

Dana Brooke won



Gallows and Anderson attack Enzo while Joe goes after Big Cass during their entrance. Seth Rollins runs down to make the save. He takes out Gallows and Anderson before he and Joe start brawling in the ring. The numbers game almost catches up with him, but Big Cass comes in to help just in time. Enzo is still down outside the ring while several officials 

check on him.

Alexa Bliss comes to the ring and talks about how she is sick of people coming out and talking all the time. She is here to win. Bayley heads to the ring

Bayley says she knows Bliss is making fun of her, but she doesn;t care because Payback is in her hometown. Bliss gets excited and talks about how great it will be to beat her in front of her father and all the people in her hometown. She calls Bayley a pathetic sheltered child and asks if she has ever even kissd a boy. She just channeled her 16-year-old self for a second. Sasha Banks comes out to join the party.
Banks calls Bliss a troll doll wannabe and says Bayley will shut her up at Payback, but she is going to shut Bliss up right now. Alexa calls Banks unhinged, which leads to Sasha punching her in the face.

The Miz vs. Chris Jericho and Dean Ambrose 

The lights went out and when they come back on, Bray Wyatt is on top of the announce table. He takes out Ambrose before Jericho could make it up the ramp. He and Miz double team Jericho as they bring him back to the ring. Jericho hits a Codebreaker to Miz out of nowhere, but he gets taken down by a Sister Abigail from Wyatt. The ref is gone, so the match is clearly no longer official.
The Miz stands side by side with Wyatt over the lifeless body of Jericho, but then Wyatt grabs Miz and hits Sister Abigail. The show ends with Wyatt screaming "Follow the buzzards!

Rating: 70/70


Great show and matches as we look to WWE Payback
