in a Tables, Ladders and Chairs match for the WWE World Championship
Now that Dean Ambrose is back in the front of the line, he now has a chance to take back the World title that was once his...and in a destructive, chaotic match at that. Can Ambrose take back the World Championship, or will "The Phenomenal" AJ Styles continue to be "the champ that runs the camp?"
My prediction: Styles is probably going to retain.

It's time for Chris Jericho's Highlight Reel, with special guest Kevin Owens. Kevin Owens shows up after being introduced at the start of the segment, and tells the fans that they never made history as he makes fun of them for celebrating Thanksgiving, which he also mocks along with Black Friday, which he and Jericho say they did not take part of because they are "a superior breed of human called Canadians." Owens says he is thankful for being Universal Champion and being friends with Chris Jericho. Jericho is thankful for being friends with Owens, his scarf...and Seth Rollins, whom he says is proof that what happens when you let ego take over your life as well as being the epitome of a stupid idiot. He says that it wasn't him who interfered last night, as it was really Sin Cara in a Jericho mask. Owens then announces that Rollins is not here tonight as he is not medically cleared to compete. Roman Reigns shows up, and says he can see why Jericho and Owens are best friends. When Jericho asks him if he thinks this is funny, he says Jericho isn't a joke, but Owens is. Owens takes offense to that, saying that Roman is a joke for calling himself "The Guy." Reigns says it's not a joke as he says that Owens needs help with everything, but Owens says he doesn't need Jericho's help. Roman disagrees, saying that if he didn't have Jericho nearby last week, he would have lost his title to Rollins last week...or any week before that, for that matter. Jericho teases putting Roman on The List, and Owens tells him to shut up before threatening to powerbomb Roman onto the apron, and Roman says that's the Owens he wants to see. Roman challenges Owens to a match tonight. If he wins, he wants another opportunity at the Universal title at Roadblock: End of the Line. Owens accepts, and welcomes Roman to "The Kevin Owens Show."

Raw General Manager Mick Foley shows up, telling Owens he has a match tonight, but before he can speak to Jericho, Jericho tells Foley he doesn't have to do anything to him, as he is out of here. He sarcastically wishes Owens luck before leaving.

He accuses Foley of taking opportunities away from other guys that he had himself, and calls Foley a hypocrite.

We see an interview from earlier today between Michael Cole and Paul Heyman. Heyman says "We screwed up," and that he and Lesnar have to take accountability for taking Goldberg lightly. He says Goldberg is a relic who hasn't been in the ring in twelve years, and that this should have been the biggest payday of Lesnar's career. As soon as Goldberg breaks Lesnar's rib, it was all downhill. Heyman is crying as the interview takes place, and says that while the injuries Lesnar received are part of the game, there is no excuse for the embarassment Lesnar received at Survivor Series. Heyman says that this loss is an embarrassment, and Lesnar is now in the mindset that he has something to prove, which scares Heyman as a moment like that can define a person, destroy a person or drive them to greater heights than ever before. He says that this side of Lesnar has probably never been seen before. As for what's next, if Lesnar has something to prove, he will prove it. If Goldberg is in the Royal Rumble match, Lesnar is in the Royal Rumble match, and there will be room for one winner, one conquerer, twenty-eight other losers and one loser...and the loser is Goldberg.

Sabin says that they have been watching them for the last few months, and agrees that both men are the future of ROH. He shakes their hands, and says that they show honor and respect, the characteristics that the foundation of Ring of Honor was built upon.
Kyle O'Reilly looks back on Future Shock (Adam Cole and O'Reilly). He says that Adam Cole exudes confidence, but his insecurity can be seen deep in his eyes, and through spite he ruins every single chance he has at the ROH World Championship. He says that Cole should have let it die, but he poked the dragon and started a war that he could not finish. O'Reilly says that Cole created "The Violent Artist," and at Final Battle, the river will overflow its banks and consume Cole, and Cole will drown as he takes the ROH World Championship.

He says that we wants to move forward, and that he shouldn't have to say that he is better than him at this point. He tells O'Reilly that Final Battle is his last chance to either choke or win the big one.

The DCC appear on the TitanTron and tell Jeff that nobody can help him, then accept his challenge and make it a no-disqualification match, which Jeff accepts.
