We see footage from earlier today where Sin Cara watches Titus O'Neil lose "The Tussle In Texas" against "The World's Strongest Man" Mark Henry. Titus shows up and announces his "Titus Comeback Tour" where he plans to come back better than ever. He calls Sin Cara nothing more than a man who wears a mask because he's ugly as hell, and Sin Cara challenges him to a match tonight. Titus easily accepts, and says that after the match, he plans to get with George Lucas to star on "Rogue Two."
Jeri-KO (Chris Jericho and Kevin Owens) are in the ring to start tonight's show. Owens welcomes everyone to "The Chris and Kevin Show," before saying there is nothing he will not do to keep the WWE Universal Championship. After we see some stills from last night's Universal title match, Owens tells Jericho that he had everyone fooled and that he should have known better than to doubt their friendship. Jericho tells Owens that he had to have everyone believe it was over, and now their friendship is stronger than ever, they embrace in the Hug of Jericho before Jericho announces that they will start handing out payback. Jericho then makes fun of Santa Claus, and puts him on The List for "stealing his gimmick" and making lists. General Manager Mick Foley arrives and stands up for Santa, and says Jericho has been naughty this year. We then see stills from the aftermath of the Universal title match, and Owens says that he is a national treasure. Jericho then makes fun of what Mick Foley is wearing, and Foley takes his leather jacket off to reveal some Christmas shirts underneath. Foley puts them in a tag team match tonight with Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns, then gets the name of the city they're in wrong, saying it's Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania when they're really in Cleveland, Ohio. Foley then tells them he has a present for them from Santa: a shark cage. Foley announces that Kevin Owens will defend the Universal title against Roman Reigns again at Royal Rumble, and this time Jericho will be in the shark cage, which will be suspended above the ring. Jericho refuses to get in the cage, but Foley tells Jericho that he will be fired from WWE if he doesn't. Jericho then tries to get out of it by demonstrating how unsafe the cage is, and this leads to Foley unintentionally locking him in the cage when he finds out he doesn't have the key in his fanny pack, which is full of assorted knick-knacks. Foley says he doesn't have the key, but he won't give the signal to lift the cage until Royal Rumble...as he gives the signal for the cage to be lifted up, which actually happens. Jericho screams for help until the commercial break.
Jeri-KO (Chris Jericho and Kevin Owens) are backstage, where Jericho has to be administered oxygen.
Rusev quickly beats Big Cass by disqualification when an enraged Big Cass refuses to get Rusev out of the corner.
Sasha Banks shows up with a crutch and wearing a knee brace. She says that she gave her blood, sweat and tears last night, and in the end, her knee was broken. She and Charlotte made history with the 30-minute Iron Man Match, and she still lost, saying Charlotte was the better woman. She does not feel like "The Boss" anymore, and calls out Charlotte so she can congratulate her. Instead of Charlotte, however, Sasha gets Nia Jax. After giving Sasha a quick look-at, she calls Sasha weak, wounded and a little girl after saying Sasha will never be "The Boss" to her. She then manhandles an injured Sasha, then teases destroying her with her own crutch before leaving the ring.
General Manager Mick Foley meets with Sheamus and Cesaro backstage, congratulating them on winning the Raw tag titles and proving him right. He gives them a early Christmas gift: red leather variants of the tag team titles with silver plating, signifying that the copper belt design that has been in use since 2010 is no more. A referee then tells Foley to come backstage, and we find out why: Braun Strowman is out of control, attacking backstage workers and throwing things around. Foley asks what Strowman wants. Strowman wants Sami Zayn...or else. Foley tells him Sami Zayn has left and is far from the arena, and asks Strowman to take the night off. Strowman says that if that's how it's going to be, it's going to be "or else."
Cedric Alexander beats Noam Dar. After the match, Noam Dar congratulates Cedric Alexander, but tells him they're not even as he doesn't have Alicia Fox. He tells Alicia Fox "All I want for Christmas is you."
The New Day (Kofi Kingston, Big E, Xavier Woods) show up. They make fun of the Raw Women's title constantly changing hands while saying that "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair didn't become 16-time champ by losing the world title 15 times. Sheamus and Cesaro show up and make fun of The New Day's intro, then Sheamus declares himself the new tag team champion. The New Day show disappointment with not wearing the new tag titles, but give credit where credit is due before shaming Sheamus and congratulating Cesaro. After comparing Sheamus to an ox and Cesaro saying that Sheamus has a massive ego, Sheamus says that if The New Day can hold the titles for 483 years, he can hold them for 20 years. As Xavier Woods explains that a lot has happened during their second tag team reign, Gallows & Anderson (Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson) show up and mock both teams. The Shining Stars (Primo and Epico) show up and give everyone brochures for their Puerto Rican retreat, which leads to a brawl between the four teams where Sheamus, Cesaro and The New Day stand tall very quickly.
Cesaro, Sheamus and The New Day (Kofi Kingston and Big E) beat Gallows & Anderson (Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson) and The Shining Stars (Primo and Epico).

Neville shows up. Last night, he single-handedly destroyed Rich Swann and TJ Perkins, and people loved it. He then tells the crowd to take their cheers and stick 'em, and says that if anyone's favorite wrestler is on 205 Live, that's too bad, as he will obliterate the Cruiserweight Division. Rich Swann shows up, wondering what happened to Neville. Neville tells Swann it was him who took him underneath his wing and taught him everything he knows, and since then his career has skyrocketed. He then wants to know where his respect is for "the true king of the Cruiserweights." Swann says that as long as he has the Cruiserweight title, he's king right now. Brian Kendrick shows up and defends Neville, saying that Neville is a cornerstone of the division.

Kevin Owens meets with an angry Chris Jericho backstage. Jericho says he does not like heights. Owens tells him that he has Roman Reigns taken care of.
Charlotte shows up. Charlotte brags about her win from last night, and calls herself the best Superstar that WWE has ever seen and the queen of pay-per-view. As she says that she is a guaranteed winner unlike Ohio State's football team, Bayley shows up. She congratulates Charlotte, and says Sasha Banks vs. Charlotte will go down as the greatest rivalry in women's wrestling history, but Charlotte says the only place where Bayley belongs is in the stands. Bayley says it's time for the Charlotte-Bayley revival to begin, and that she hasn't forgotten her two wins over her and what she did to her at Survivor Series. Charlotte replies by saying Bayley didn't join her, Becky Lynch and Sasha at the same time on the main roster because she isn't good enough, causing Bayley to threaten to prove she's good enough right now. Charlotte calls her bluff, and calls a referee to the ring.
