We see footage from earlier today where Bayley is handing out Bayley Bears when Bayley runs into Cedric Alexander. Suddenly, Alicia Fox shows up as Bayley hands him a Bayley Bear, and says Bayley can't handle her or "her man." Bayley sees this as a challenge and challenges Alicia Fox to a match on Raw.

Titus O'Neil promotes "The Tussle In Texas," where he takes on "The World's Strongest Man" Mark Henry tonight. He hands Charly Caruso and Booker T flyers for the match, and says he will dominate like Goldberg, and be in the next WWE game which will be called "WWE 2KTitus." Booker cannot belive that Titus compared himself to Goldberg, and Titus says that Goldberg is nothing compared to him. Booker T makes Titus go away by playing the footage of Mark Henry shoving Titus to the ground last week, and Titus takes the flyers back and walks away.
Seth Rollins shows up to start tonight's show. Immediately, he wants Triple H in the ring right now. He talks about how he changed history as part of The Shield (Dean Ambrose, Rollins, Roman Reigns), as well as what he did afterwards. Rollins accuses Triple H of betting against him and making Kevin Owens his new golden boy, and makes it clear he sent a message by Pedigreeing Owens on the top of a car last week. Rollins has a means of getting to Triple H: beating Owens and taking the Universal title. However, he has to remove Chris Jericho from the equation, as without Jericho, the Kevin Owens show isn't ready for prime time. Kevin Owens shows up, and Rollins asks how he and Jericho are doing. Owens says that best friends fight, but Rollins wouldn't understand because he stabbed Dean Ambrose and Roman Reigns in the back. He also says best friends make up, and that is what they have done. He also says that Jericho is busy recuperating from Rollins' attack on him last week, and mentions the Christmas gifts that he got for Jericho. Rollins goes on to say that Jericho gave Owens the Universal title, but Owens he was given nothing and that he is a fighting champion, and that he only lost against Roman Reigns last week because Rollins interfered. Rollins tells Owens that if he really was a fighting champion, he would defend the WWE Universal Championship right here, right now. Owens says that he defended the title against him two weeks ago, and that it won't happen tonight because Raw General Manager Mick Foley put him in a match against Sami Zayn tonight. Owens also announces that he is defending the Universal title against Roman Reigns at Roadblock: End Of The Line. He then mentions the three gifts that he got Jericho. The first is a match between Chris Jericho and Roman Reigns for the United States Championship tonight. The second is a match against Seth Rollins at Roadblock: End Of The Line. The third is Seth Rollins having a match against a returning Big Show, who hasn't been seen in a WWE ring in months and has slimmed down to 395 lbs. since his last televised appearance.

Last week on Raw, Charlotte realized she made the biggest mistake of her life for kicking her father, "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair, to the curb back in May. Charlotte says that the WWE means everything to her, and says that seeing her father celebrate with Sasha Banks last week hurt more than losing the Raw Women's title. Charlotte also feels that nobody knows what it's like to be her, and she feels heartbroken after last week. Charlotte then asks her dad to come to the ring, and he does. "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair makes his way to the ring, and Charlote smiles as he approaches. Charlotte tells her dad that she is sorry, and she hugs him.
