Oh yay! We start this episode of RAW Bingo with Stephanie McMahon.

She welcomes us to Monday Night RAW and calls it the A Show, the brand that decimated Smackdown. Shane knew SD didn’t stand a chance. He thought by taking over RAW a few weeks ago, he’d gain an advantage. Shane always learned to strike first. Steph always learned to win, though. She says Angle’s job is secure. She then welcomes the man who saved RAW from defeat:

Triple H comes out during recaps of his big win.

Kurt Angle is next, and he does not seem happy. They go face to face. ANgle says this isn’t the GM talking to you. This is the Olympic Gold Medalist. He tells HHH that if he ever attacks him again like he did last night, he could take this job and shove it, because he is coming for HHH. Fuuuuck. Nice.

Steph says that Angle is speaking to the COO of WWE as the RAW GM and she appreciates all of the intensity, but do not jeopardize his career. Again.

Insert Braun.

Big Bad Braun walks down the ring. He stares at H directly. He enters the ring and goes straight to the face of HHH.

Of course, HHH shows no fear. Crowd loves the facedown though.

HHH backs up and leaves the ring slowly. Braun walks towards the rope to make sure HHH leaves. HHH circles the ring, staring down Braun some more. H leaves towards the ramp. YOU’RE A COWARD chant. Loud and proud as it should be. Steph meets him at the bottom of the ramp. She tells Jordan that since he wants a fight so bad, we’re going to get Braun vs Jordan.

Miz is here for MizTV. He welcomes us then congratulates Baron on his biggest win of his career. His brush with greatness is over, because Miz has more important things to tend to like his guest tonight.

Miz introduces Roman, but no one comes out. He tries again to no avail. Miz demands respect, calls this unprofessional, then says Roman’s name once again. Finally, The Shield’s music hits, and out come all three.

Miz says he made it pretty clear that his guest is Roman Reigns, not The Shield, but these three just can’t get enough of each other. They probably feel really good.

Dean says yes they do feel good. They proved to The New Day and the world that they haven’t missed a step. Seth says they proved that they are the most dominant three man team in the history of the WWE. Seth says they’re pretty much unstoppable.

Miz mockingly introduces them and hypes up their reunion. Miz then calls it cute but there is one thing that is bothering Miz and he wants to settle it. After all this time, he still hasn’t heard a thank you. Reigns wonders to who. Miz says to him, duh. Reigns tells Miz that there will never be a situation where The Shield thanks The Miz. Miz asks if we understand that the only reason that this whole reunion started is because of him.

Miz is the reason these guys are together and the least he deserves is a thank you. He wants a check for the residuals of the Shield merch. Seth jokes that Ambrose doesn’t have his check book on him. Sorry.

Miz is Awesome chant, it sounds like, and Reigns calls this a first.

Miz refuses and the lights go out completely.

Spotlight comes out and Miz tells the three men that they are ungrateful. Shield says they won last night, and if anyone should be ungrateful, it’s the guy that lost last night. Miz, however, is the only one standing in the ring with a championship. It’s held by a champion. Miz is a champion, not Seth, not Dean, and not Reigns.

Seth claims that it’s only a matter of time before Ambrose and he get their hands back on the tag team titles. Reigns then says he doesn’t want to be the only guy in The Shield who doesn’t have a title.

Seth says they’re not trying to leave reigns out…Miz has got a title. Reigns wants the match.

Bo Dallas, with a gloved hand, says that Reigns can’t just come to MizTV and challenge the champ. If Reigns wants Miz, he’s gotta go through Axel and Bo.

Ambrose says they’re so dumb, they totally forgot…they have to go through them first. So, Reigns punches Bo hard and Miz rushes up the ramp. Axel stands with his neck still braced. Seth with a knee. Dirty Deeds to Axel. Bo is alone in the ring. They circle him.

WE BO-LIEVE chant.

Backstage, Matt Hardy is existing. Jordan comes in and is there ask Matt for some pointers. Matt says he has faced many goliaths. He has faced the biggest men, then names a few. Braun is known as the monster among men, though. That’s not a nickname. His strength is inhuman. Good luck trying to take Braun off his fet. It’s a humbling experience being in the ring with Braun. He has learned a lot, and there are dozens of ways to use ladders, nothing more important than family, and also that some nights, it’s just not your night.

Alexa Bliss is here! She quotes some tweets and says she doesn’t need them. She knows how well she performed last night. She only had 5 days to prepare and she still took her to the limit. Charlotte got lucky. She is still the goddess of the WWE and there is not a single woman who could take the title from her. And of course, we get Mickie James.

Cole acts as if they didn’t just wrestle like a month ago.

Mickie wonders who else is sick and tired of Alexa’s worn out promo. She calls her biscuit butt again. Mickie is only concerned about RAW and the title, not Survivor Series.

Bayley is here to join the fun. She is wrapped up on the left arm. She is sorry she interrupted but for the first time, she agrees with Alexa. 2017 has been her year, but the year ain’t over yet. Bayley is not the same woman that Alexa beat for the title. With all due respect, Bayley is cutting the line. The title is Bayley’s.

Alexa thinks Bayley is joking about as muh as Mickie is. Sasha’s music hits. She says RAW doesn’t need Bayley or Mickie as champ, they need a legit boss, and not some little B like Alexa.

Alicia Fox still matters, so she comes out to annoy the shit out of me. If RAW needs a boss as champion, she says, then maybe the boss of the RAW Women’s tewam, Captain Fox, should have that opportunity. Because RAW would have never won last night two years in a row, without Alicia Fox’s guidance – which makes no sense.

Alexa calls her Captain Delusional. Alexa says this is a hufe waste of time, and not one of them deserves a title shot.

Alexa leaves.

Kurt is aware of his job. He tells Alexa that SD proved that they are not the B Show, but RAW proved that they are still THEE show, and Alexa will face the winner of a Fatal Four Way which will start….now.

Match 4: Bayley vs Mickie James vs Alicia Fox vs Sasha Banks
Come back to RAW and this match is already happening. In the ring, Bayley sends Sasha into the corner with some shoulder thrusts. Kick from Sasha sends Bayley back.

Bayley goes for a kick but Sasha kicks her and sends Bayley to the outside. Alicia rolls out. Mickie with a neckbreaker to Sasha. Cover for 1..2…NO! Sasha and Mickie are both laid out in the middle of the ring.

A scream is heard.

PAIGE IS BACK!!!

Here’s the curry Vanessa made

Enzo is here in a robe with his goons. He talks about Thanksgiving and stuff.

Gulak claims that the infrastructure of 205 Live has grown by 23%.

Rich Swann comes down with Cedric, Mustafa, and Akira.

Enzo says it looks like Kalisto’s luggage didn’t make the flight. He tells them that they can join, but they gotta prove themselves.

Cedric says they’re not here to join, they’re here for the same reason as everyone else. They want a title shot. The difference is that they are willing to earn it unlike Enzo’s gang of suck ups.

Swann steps up, tells ENzo to make them get out of his way. But Enzo can’t, because without his boys, Enzo is nothing but a catchphrase and a t-shirt. Swann drops the mic on his ass. Enzo shoves Gulak, and we get a brawl. Cole claims he didn’t see it coming as the eight men go at it and Enzo stands smiling outside.

I missed the eight man tag to eat. I know this is irresponsible, and I apologize. But the curry was damned good.

Mustafa, Akira, Cedric, and Swann win.

Angle is backstage and says that Braun may have left the building. He refused medical attention. He opens the training room and Jordan is there with ice on his knees. Miz walks in and wonders how Angle can put him in a match against Reigns. Did he see what The Shield did to Bo and Axel. He tells Angle to cancel the match. Angle says now is not the time. Miz says Jordan is hurt, he’s not going anywhere. haha. Angle tells Miz to get prepared to defend his title. Angle then tells Jordan that he didn’t let him down. Jordan says Matt Hardy was right – Braun is a monster among men.

Elias is here to do a little jingle. He makes fun of Matt, which causes him to come out. Elias attacks and Hardy gets him in the corner with some right hands. He spins for no reason then gets hit. He goes for a Twist of Fate, but Elias rolls out of the ring. Matt is smiling like a psycho.
