411’s WWE RAW Talk Report: Chad Gable vs. Otis Announced for Next Week’s RAW, More

-This was delayed because I spent 5 hours wrapping Christmas presents and I still have a good bit to go before the big day. Let’s get to it!

-We start right away with Dexter Lumis vs. The Miz highlights. No winner as The Final Testament get involved, but The Wyatt Sicks are here and they leave The Final Testament laying this time. I’m fine with this feud continuing!

-Megan Morant welcomes us to the show and is joined by Sam Roberts.

-The Final Testament is backstage and Miz is freaking out on Kross. He tells Miz he has a plan, but Miz says they won the match and could have walked away, but instead walked back into psycho den. Kross admits that in this case, Miz was right.

-Video package covering The RAW on Netflix Launch Party at WWE HQ. Fun stuff! Teasing Logan Paul vs. GUNTHER is interesting, but that’s one way to continue to the face turn for GUNTHER.

-Roman Reigns hype package narrated by Paul Heyman.

-GUNTHER and Ludwig Kaiser is backstage. Kaiser asks GUNTHER if he knows who his next opponent will be, and GUNTHER isn’t sure, but says he is done with Priest. Kaiser is bummed he lost in his quest for The IC Title. GUNTHER with the tough love as he tells Kaiser to stop with the emotional crap. He tells Kaiser to focus on winning The IC Title and bringing it to Imperium. He knows Kaiser has the heart to be champion, and he has to show everyone what he already knows. He tells Kaiser to start believing in himself. Well, I am ready to run through a wall now!

-To the video as this is the one thing I saw on RAW tonight: Iyo Sky advances in the Women’s IC Tournament with a win over Alba Fyre and Nattie. That sets the semis: Dakota Kai vs. Zoey Stark and Iyo Sky vs. Lyra Valkyria.

-NXT New Year’s Evil commercial!

-Liv Morgan hype video!

-Cathy Kelley is backstage with PFC. They aren’t thrilled with Damage CTRL getting everything handed to them. Shayna mocks them for constantly having members getting injured and missing time. This ends with Zoey Stark as the first Women’s IC Champion.

-To the video as Damian Priest did battle with Prison Dom and Priest figures out JD McDonagh is dressed as Santa Claus at ringside. Carlito is under the ring as well. The story being that Priest knows the JD playbook. Balor just comes out of nowhere to attack for the DQ. The numbers catch up to Priest eventually, but The War Raiders are out for the save. I smell a 6 Man Tag coming soon!

-As expected, next week on RAW: Priest and The War Raiders vs. Judgment Day (Dom, Balor, JD).

-To the video as New Day finally talk even with the crowd booing the piss out of them. “New Day Sucks” chant is back. Kofi points out his mom in the front row and even she gets some residual boos. Mom won’t give Kofi a hug and walks away from him which draws a big pop. That’s great!

-AJ Styles hype video! It’s wild we are coming up on 9 years since his debut at The Royal Rumble. Hopefully, he is healthy soon and it would be cool to see him make his return at The Royal Rumble.

-R-Truth is backstage trying to cheer up Nattie and he utters the “Butch” word which brings out Pete Dunne. He tells Truth it ends next week in the ring. Nattie: “I guess life really is a Butch.” Yep!

-To the video as Chad Gable gets a rare win as he runs through Tozawa. He also slaps Otis in the face during the match. Otis stares down American Made after the match and Gable pulls them away.

-American Made is backstage and Gable says Maxxine and Tozwa were always disappointments. He wishes he could wipe away all the history he has with Otis. He got the match made with Pearce and next week, it’s Gable vs. Otis!

-Slammin 7 from tonight! Rowan powerbombing Nikki until The Final Testament pile on the floor is number one.

-Rhea Ripley hype video!

-To the video as Sami Zayn and Drew McIntyre did battle once again. As has been the case every other time, Drew McIntyre gets the win. At some point they have to play up Sami never beating Drew and had to pay that off down the line. Jey Uso is here, but so is The New Bloodline. Drew decides to walk away and smiles as The New Bloodline beat the piss out of Jey. Sami Zayn gets destroyed as well.

-Sam’s Stars of The Night: Iyo Sky, Chad Gable, Drew McIntyre, Prison Dom, Kofi’s Mom!

-One last plug for RAW next week as CM Punk and Seth Rollins will be under the same roof.

-Megan closes the show and we are out this week. Thanks for reading and enjoy your Holiday Season. Be Safe!
