Alexa Bliss, Sasha Banks, Bayley, Mickie James, Alicia Fox, and Dana Brooke In-Ring Segment: 

Bliss reminds us that Raw General Manager Elect, Constable Baron Corbin made her the supervisor of the Raw Women’s Division. With great power comes responsibility. Bliss will do her very best to deliver every single week for the WWE Universe. Last weeks open forum didn’t go to plan, so we’ll give this another shot. The beautiful Charly Caruso is standing ringside with a microphone ready to take your questions. This is your opportunity to get to know Sasha Banks and Bayley. What makes them tick? What motivates them?

This is an open forum so there is no limit to what can be asked. Bayley wants to know how many questions do they have to answer before they get jumped by Mickie James, Dana Brooke, and Alicia Fox again? Bliss apologizes for what happened last week and all ladies were reprimanded. How does Sasha feel about the social media narrative that she’s using Bayley? Bayley wasn’t supposed to find out that she is going to stab her in the back. Isn’t that true Graves? It’s not like they had an amazing weekend in Texas. Bayley is her best friend and they are going to be tag team partners for life.

What super power would Bayley have? Bayley says she would make things disappear and she would start with Alexa Bliss. Bayley always disappoints Bliss. Sasha agrees with Bayley.

Constable Baron Corbin, Drew McIntyre and Dolph Ziggler In-Ring Segment: 

In two short weeks, Corbin will become Raw’s Permanent General Manager. What a journey it has been. From winning Money in the Bank to being championship caliber superstar to being constable to General Manager Elect. If you are born better than everyone else, you can achieve anything. Corbin has had a few thorns in his side. The Shield, Finn Balor, Kurt Angle, and Braun Strowman. With the help of one person this journey has been pain free as of late. Tonight is Drew McIntyre Appreciation Night. Corbin thanks McIntyre for all of his hard work and unwavering support. McIntyre is on the right side of history. There needs to be something to commemorate all that McIntyre has done.

Corbin gives McIntyre a Gold Medal of Excellence. McIntyre did what no one else would do. He’s here to eradicate complacency.  People were in the back playing games on their phones. They were happy to collect their paychecks. They were responding to fans on social media. McIntyre made Raw in his image. It’s something that has to happen every day, not just Monday. Finn Balor thinks he is the voice of these pathetic people. Balor is nothing more than a boy in a man’s world. At TLC, he will hurt Balor and break his spirit. Dolph Ziggler makes his way to the ring. Is McIntyre having memory problems? Don’t forget Ziggler brought McIntyre to Raw and they were dominating.

Ziggler was the brains and McIntyre was the muscle. His invitation got lost in the mail. The truth is that he was never invited.  Ziggler doesn’t meet the height requirement for one. McIntyre is going to drop a truth bomb on Ziggler. He was always the brains in the operation. He’s the whole damn package. The relationship was working, but it’s not working anymore. Ziggler’s role was to get him in a prominent position and he did it. Ziggler succeeded for once in his life. McIntyre thanks Ziggler and tells him to leave. His thanks isn’t good enough for Ziggler? Is Ziggler going to cry? McIntyre is the reason Ziggler is relevant for the first time in ten years. This leads us to a brawl in the center of the ring. Ziggler hits The Zig Zag. Ziggler will not ruin McIntyre Appreciation Night.

Dean Ambrose & Seth Rollins In-Ring Segment: 

Ambrose is wearing a gas mask. He apologizes for the drastic measures but you cannot be safe in a slum like Houston. This is not just to protect himself from you people. He is using these measures to protect himself from that mad man Seth Rollins. The last time he was in the ring, he was attacked by Seth Rollins unprovoked. Maybe it was a little provoked. For a man who is always in control, it was easy to rile up Seth Rollins. Rollins is needy and emotional like all of you.

If you have any idea what it is like to live with someone who always has to be in control and always be right. You all know someone like that. If you had any guts, you would slap that person in the mouth. You have no guts and you have weak character. Rollins is the biggest scumbag, but you appreciate him because he makes you feel important. Ambrose used to be proud of The Shield, but then Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins cared about being role models.

Ambrose is the last man with integrity. All Ambrose is guilty of is trusting people and taking them at face value. Ambrose is happy to stand in the ring by himself as the moral compass of the WWE. At TLC he could take the Intercontinental Title by force, but that would be too easy. Ambrose tells Rollins to listen. At TLC, he will slip up and drop the ball. You will lose control of yourself, of your emotions, and the situation. You will lose control of the Intercontinental Championship.  Your championship will fall safely into Ambrose’s hands. Ambrose and Rollins starts brawling all over the Toyota Center. Ambrose nails Rollins with the gas mask. Ambrose follows that with Two Dirty Deeds.
