This episode is a combination of TNA Thanksgiving moments as well as never-before-seen matches.

Brian Myers beats "The Hollywood Hunk" Ryan Nemeth, Eric Young, Trey Miguel, Mance Warner and The Home Town Man in a Thanksgiving Turkey Bowl Match. As Nemeth got pinned by Myers, he has to wear the turkey suit. Nemeth tries to run away, but Trey Miguel and Brian Myers catch him and throw him back in the ring, where The Home Town Man hits him with a shiranui. Ryan Nemeth is then forced into the turkey suit, and when he comes to, he is absolutely humiliated, and he insists that he is not a turkey.

The Elegance Brand (The Personal Concierge George Iceman, Ash by Elegance, Heather by Elegance, M by Elegance) continue to look for Mr. Elegance. Once again, The Personal Concierge asks everyone to send in videos.

In a never-before-seen match from Minneapolis, Minnesota from September 2025, Leon Slater and Mike Santana beat Mustafa Ali and Trick Williams by disqualification after The Great Hands (John Skyler and Jason Hotch) attack Santana as he goes for Spin the Block on Mustafa. After the match, Trick Williams walks away as Mustafa Ali's Secret Service agents set up a table. As Mustafa Ali is about to put Santana through the table, he is taken out by Leon Slater with a somersault over the top rope, and Santana almost powerbombs Mustafa through the table before The Great Hands make the save for Mustafa. Almost all of the Secret Service agents get away, but Slater and Santana grab one of them and put him through the table instead.

Before the next match, "The Hollywood Hunk" Ryan Nemeth says that he hates Christmas - and Krampus - and that Thanksgiving is the better holiday.

Afterwards, The Nemeths ("The Wanted Man" Nic Nemeth and "The Hollywood Hunk" Ryan Nemeth) show up. Ryan Nemeth says that they come in peace and that the concert is not over until he sings a song for his big brother, which he sings terribly.

After the match, Eddie Kingston says he will not speak on what Hook did because Hook is his friend and he made his decision, and now he has to pay with "Hangman" Adam Page and Swerve Strickland.

Tony Schiavone interviews "Hangman" Adam Page in the ring. Hangman grabs the microphone from Schiavone, then says that he will knock Interim Executive Vice President Christopher Daniels on his ass if he gets in his way again, and says that if Christian Cage kept his end of the deal, he would be at home with the World Championship, but he failed. Hangman says his intention has always been to be AEW World Champion and that it never should have been Swerve Strickland, Bryan Danielson, Jon Moxley or Christian Cage's, as the title has always been his.

Raw Deal - Raw recap for November 27, 2023

Randy Orton heads to the ring to start tonight's show. Orton declares that he is back for as long as he can stay in WWE, and that his long time away has caused him to look back at his accomplishment and realize that he has never competed at WarGames. He says that when "The American Nightmare" Cody Rhodes picked up the phone and gave him a call, he was in; however, he wanted to take part because WarGames was invented by Cody's father Dusty Rhodes and he wanted to be part of professional wrestling history. Orton says he not only got to make history, but tend to unfinished business with The Bloodline (Roman Reigns, Solo Sikoa, Jimmy Uso, Paul Heyman) and he has receipts for every single member in the form of RKO's. Suddenly, Rhea Ripley shows up. Rhea welcomes Orton back and admits that she did not see him as one who would do favors for others, team with people who injured him or have his return moment upstaged. She says that Orton looks more dangerous than ever and that it would be a shame to have it all wasted, as the landscape has changed as The Bloodline has fallen and The Judgment Day (Finn Balor, Damian Priest, Rhea Ripley, "Dirty" Dominik Mysterio, JD McDonagh) has risen as the most dominant force in WWE. Rhea says that WarGames was "just a bump in the road" and that The Judgment Day are dripping in gold, including the tag titles that Orton nearly lost everything trying to back, and that Damian Priest would be World Champion if it were not for him. She says that Orton should stop worrying about The Bloodline and start worrying about The Judgment Day, as they can put him down permanently. Orton says she has been watching WWE for as long as he has been out, then tells Rhea "Daddy's back," and that while things have changed since he has been out, one thing that will never change while he is here is that nobody tells him what to do. Rhea laughs and says that Orton has made his bed even after she tried to warn him and give him an out, and that Orton has made The Judgment Day his enemy. Orton is then attacked from behind by Dominik Mysterio and JD McDonagh. Orton soon fights back, and McDonagh gets blasted with an RKO as Orton goes for a draping DDT on Dominik.

Rhea says that they have no reason to hold a grudge against him and that Priest needs to relax. Priest then asks about JD McDonagh, and Finn Balor says that McDonagh is still in medical. Finn and Priest head to medical to check on McDonagh.

"The American Nightmare" Cody Rhodes heads to the ring.

Suddenly, the arena lights go out, then Shinsuke Nakamura shows up on the TitanTron. He calls Cody a brave hero who has won his battle and has to continue his story, yet he needs Cody to set him free, awaken and evolve.

Seth "Freakin'" Rollins heads to the ring. As some fans sing Rollins' theme, others chant "CM Punk," and Rollins says he does not want to waste one more second on "that hypocrite" before addressing the World Heavyweight Championship. He admits that while he is not feeling too well, he is starting to get the itch to be a fighting champion again. Rollins says he met with General Manager Adam Pearce regarding the next challenger when Drew McIntyre shows up. McIntyre says it has been a crazy 48 hours and that people are talking about a lot of things, but they know that what happens in the ring is the most important before congratulating Rollins on the victory at WarGames and shaking his hand. He talks about how The Judgment Day (Finn Balor, Damian Priest, "Dirty" Dominik Mysterio, JD McDonagh) had a master plan that led to him not getting Jey Uso and The Judgment Day losing, then says he has to focus on the World Heavyweight Championship. McIntyre tells Rollins that he was right in terms of having nobody to blame but himself for losing at Crown Jewel and that he would thank him for it, and admits that sympathy and compassion were what cost him the title. He says that to swim with shark, he has to be the biggest shark, and that sympathy and compassion have to be gone. Rollins appreciates McIntyre's honesty and believes he deserves a rematch, but there are others deserving of a title shot. Rollins then says that he has met with Adam Pearce and that he will be deserving the World Heavyweight Championship next week.

Orton says he has watched Jey Uso recently and has had a lot of people's backs and earned their trust, which means something to him. He says that as long as Jey is out of The Bloodline (Roman Reigns, Solo Sikoa, Jimmy Uso, Paul Heyman), he and Jey are good.

Punk then says that he is home, and that he has come back to WWE and he had no idea how he would go, but WWE is where he belongs and he has been gone for 10 years, and in that time, nobody forgot him even when he wanted to forget himself. He says that the fans never stopped chanting his name and that the voiceless found their voice, and that is why he is back. Punk admits that he wishes he did not have to leave, but once upon a time, a wise man told him that to get the best out of WWE, he had to leave and come back, and the wise man was right. He says that Saturday and tonight is an amazing moment, and that is has been nothing but love and hugs and that "AJ is fabulous, and she sends her regards." Punk admits that while he has been welcomed back with open arms, some people are afraid of him and the truth, and that while there are those who compete to be the best in the world, the best has not been here for ten years. He says that people are afraid that he has set too high a bar and put the brass ring in his pocket, and that tomorrow morning, when they wake up, they will have to come to terms that their attempts to be the best were a lie. Punk says that he is back and in the ring, live and in living color. CM Punk then looks into the camera and says that he is not here to make friends; he is here to make money.

He also says his house is a house of cards and that the slightest force will make it tumble down. Sami says that Big E is not giving him the respect he deserves in the middle of an historic championship reign while Big E is bitter that his reign was largely forgotten, and says Big E should be applauding him.

(Author's note: these shows are usually recorded on Wednesdays.) Tonight's guests are Retribution. Mustafa Ali proceeds to mock them and their questions, and reminds them that Retribution can shut them down as soon as he tells them to. Mustafa Ali says he has been judged because of his name and mocked for how he looks, and he wants people to know his reality, and that he has given members of Retribution names and masks so that they too can be mocked for how they look and judged by their names, so they can see the world the way he sees it. Reckoning says being a good girl got her nowhere and that doing what was right was never enough, and in retalation for the fans turning their backs on her, she has turned her back on them, and the fans will get their day of reckoning. Mace says someone like him with his background and accolades has been overlooked time and time again, and has had opportunities given to him only to have them taken away. Slapjack says he has been built up and given hope only to be replaced, rejected and lost, but he was found and turned into a weapon for retribution. T-Bar says WWE is a wasteland filled to the brim with betrayal and rejection, and that he knows it better than anyone after experiencing it first hand.

Now she is putting herself back in the game, and calls out Charlotte Flair, who fought in her place at Survivor Series. Charlotte shows up, and Becky Lynch tells Charlotte she came close to giving her the beating she would have given her, saying that if it was her, "Rowdy" Ronda Rousey would not be standing the next night. Becky thinks that Charlotte was channeling her that night, but Charlotte says she was being her and says he was giving Ronda the beating that she deserved, then says she is capable of that because she is genetically superior and will do what it takes to get the job done. Becky says Charlotte went from channeling her dad to channeling her, and calls her "Bootleg Becky," but Charlotte says Nia Jax hit her so hard she went from quirky to delusional and is now trying to ride her coat tails. After telling Nia Jax a queen is easy to spot in the crowd, Charlotte tells Becky Lynch she wants to take her on right now. Paige stops them, saying that she has not seen such desire out of anyone since Becky Lynch, and gives Charlotte her title match against Becky Lynch at TLC, and it will be a TLC Match given their history. As Becky and Charlotte continue to argue, Mandy Rose shows up with Sonya Deville, Zelina Vega and The IIconics (Billie Kay and Peyton Royce) and says that not only what Paige said about desire is an insult, but that any one of them could have done the exact same thing to Rousey.

He knew there would be a target on his match, and says he knows what it is like to want something so badly he will do anything to get it. However, he is bothered by Daniel Bryan attacking him to the point that he couldn't compete last week. He watched from home as Daniel Bryan explained his actions, and says it is a lot of "BS" and "trash." He says the old and new Daniel Bryans have the same face and he wants to bash that face in, and he wants to face him right now. Unfortunately, Daniel Bryan is not here and has not been at live events, while he has never missed SmackDown Live or a live event because he is the champ and this is where he belongs. He tells Daniel Bryan to be there at TLC and bring his dreams, his excuses and the WWE Championship, for the championship belongs to him.

He says that he is eternally grateful to the fans for sticking with him through all of that, and the fans chant "Thank You, Hardy!" He says he would not be here without his family, and thanks them for being there and making this night possible. He also says this is far from a retirement speech, and he doesn't know the future, and asks him and the fans to see it through together. Suddenly, Samoa Joe shows up and congratulates Jeff Hardy before saying having a champagne toast isn't the best idea as he continues to make fun of his past drug use, as he does not believe in weakness or second chances because he did not get his first. He says that despite all the mistakes he has made, Jeff Hardy has allowed himself to be put on a pedestal, and it makes him sick, as there are as many times he has gotten the people off their feet as he has let them down. He says that Jeff's demons still remain, and offers him his hand in case he hits a low point again, saying it won't be painless. Jeff refuses to let Joe rain on his parade and says he still lives in the moment, and challenges Joe to a match right now. Samoa Joe walks away with a smirk on his face instead of taking Jeff Hardy's challenge.

Randy Orton shows up with Rey Mysterio's mask from last week. Orton says people have called his actions against Rey Mysterio last week disrespectful, disgusting and disturbing, but he would call them euphoric. He says he has never understood what the big deal is about Rey's mask. He says he did not bother to learn the history of the mask as he did not care, and while he meant no disrespect to Rey last week, he meant to embarrass and humiliate him and take him down from the pedestal the fans put him on. Orton says that at this stage in Rey's career, Rey is just another victim of the RKO. Suddenly, Rey shows up with his neck in a neck brace, and he slowly approaches the ring until Orton slides out of it. Both men fight, but Orton gets the upper hand and rips the neck brace off before throwing Rey in the ring. Referees run in to try to stop Orton, but Rey fights back and hits the 619. Rey then grabs a steel chair, but Orton gets back up, catches Rey on the rope and hits the draping DDT before tossing Rey into the guardrail, grabbing Rey by the mask, placing the chair under his throat and slamming the legs into the steel steps. Backstage officials show up to stop Orton, and this time, there are too many people between Orton and Rey for Orton to do any more damage.

Roman thanks the crowd for their support, and announces he is the new Intercontinental Champion. We then see exclusive footage from last Monday where Miz runs into The Shield and gets powerbombed through the announce table after the show goes off the air. He then tells us we will not see The Miz for a while, but we will see a lot of the WWE Intercontinental Championship. He says Miz was right when he says the title is prestigious, and in his possession, it will stay that way. Roman proclaims this is his yard and the Intercontinental title is the title, and if anyone wants it, all they have to do is come on up and take it. Suddenly, The Miz's entrance music hits, but Bo Dallas and Curtis Axel show up instead. Bo Dallas verbally confronts Roman for disrespecting The Miz. Curtis Axel says the pain in his neck is nothing compared to the pain in heart from him holding the title. They are in no shape to fight him, but they know someone who can. That someone is Elias. Elias shows up singing and playing guitar. He asks the crowd to hold their applause as he will be performing later tonight. He says The Miz is a good guy, and when he saw Bo and Axel lost and abandoned, he knew he could show them the way and re-ignite their fire. He then proclaims that he will take the Intercontinental Championship away from Roman Reigns tonight. Roman says Elias wants to walk with "The Big Dog," then tells him he has his title match.

She calls herself the matriarch of the WWE evolution, and last week, she made a statement to prove to everyone who she is. Now, she is back. Paige, Mandy and Sonya then approach the ring, and Paige then calls her group "Absolution." Mandy says people may have forgotten that before all of the new additions to the WWE main roster, there was Paige. Mandy says they did not forget. Sonya says every woman has pushed the competition, pushed the envelope and raised the game. She says nothing would have been raised if it was not for Paige, and that is why she and Mandy have pledge allegiance to her. She then says Absolution will be a whole different type of evolution. Paige then asks Sasha if she is either with them or against them. Sasha hits Paige with a forearm, but Mandy and Sonya easily overpower her. Sasha fights back, but this does not last for long and Absolution gangs up on her.

Bray Wyatt announces that he is here.

Bray Wyatt shows up. Before the next match, Bray says he never had a childhood or celebrated holidays. He never carved a turkey, or even cared. He then says the crowd celebrates like "they" want them to as "they" tell them what to do, what to buy, who to love and who to be. He says this is pathetic, but when he tries to show them the way, they never listen, and now their ignorance fuels him and their suffering brings him joy, as now his eyes are wide open, and he can see the people for who they are.

He manages to finish "The Miztourage Blues," then says he will do something special tonight, and introduces everyone to Bo Dallas and Curtis Axel. Elias then starts another song that he dedicates to The Miz, and Bo Dallas and Curtis Axel play harmonica which, while out of key with Elias' guitar, sounds good. This song is also completed. Bo and Axel then take a bow, then Elias says this is the time for applause. Elias plays guitar again, then the crowd chants "We want Roman!"
