Raw Deal - Raw recap for November 9, 2020

It's time for Miz TV to start tonight's show. Tonight's guests are The New Day (Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods). After The Miz states that anything could happen in his and John Morrison's six-man tag match tonight, The Miz also plugs the season premiere of Miz and Mrs. this Thursday on USA Network, as well as a brand new episode airing tonight after Raw. Before he can bring out tonight's guest, Randy Orton shows up and says that him wrestling is more important than Miz's reality show and that Miz set him up for a six-man tag team match so that Miz could cash on him. Miz says that he would not use the network as a means of bettering his position and that tonight can be a big night for all of them, and as Miz says he and Morrison could be in line for Raw's tag team titles, The New Day show up. The New Day laugh at Miz thinking he and Morrison could beat them for the Raw tag team titles, but Orton hits Kofi with an RKO out of nowhere while Miz and Morrison attack Woods. Drew McIntyre then runs into the ring and brawls with Orton, and Miz strikes McIntyre from behind with the Money In The Bank briefcase to set McIntyre up for an RKO.
