Raw Deal - Raw recap for November 30, 2020

The show starts with A Moment of Bliss, with Randy Orton as tonight's guest. Alexa addresses The Fiend's attack on Orton last week, then asks Orton if he knows why The Fiend attacked him. Orton says he has known Bray Wyatt for some time, but he has not been formally introduced to The Fiend yet. Orton then says he and The Fiend have a lot in common, yet the one main difference is that The Fiend's pain and suffering is worn on the exterior while he keeps his own internal and suppressed so he can blend in. Orton also says that the both of them hear voices, but The Fiend's voices happen to be his. Alexa tries to questions this, but Orton tells her that The Fiend did not tell her everything and that he had to find his vulnerability and burn it to the ground. Orton then says he knows what to do now, and that is to find The Fiend's weakness and vulnerability, then says it looks like he has. Alexa questions Orton is his voices told him the truth or lies, and asks who is manipulating who. As the lights go out slowly, Orton, then Alexa, says "See what I mean?" before the lights go out completely and The Fiend shows up. Orton is carrying Alexa when the red lights are on, and The Fiend slowly approaches, wanting Alexa. Orton slowly hands Alexa off to The Fiend, then quickly rolls out of the ring and tells The Fiend "Who's laughing now?"
