By Richard Trionfo on 2016-12-26 23:05:00

We are back and Stephanie and Charlotte shake hands.

Kevin Owens and Chris Jericho enter and Kevin says they are here to make a protest against Mick Foley.  Kevin reminds Stephanie he won at Roadblock but Roman is getting a rematch and Chris has to hang above the ring like a sexy pinata hundreds of feet above the ring.  Chris says he will break out if Mick puts spiders in the cage.  He will have acneacraarachophobia.

Chris says that Stephanie said that Roman was going to get a United States Title Match so why not give him a chance since he does not have a match.

Stephanie says that she hates officials who take advantage of their positions.  She says Roman will face the man who beat him at Roadblock . . . Kevin Owens.

Kevin says they will make history tonight as the Universal and United States Champions.

Bayley makes her way to the ring.

Bayley says she loves Chicago and she says that she hopes Santa gave them everything they asked for.  Bayley says Christmas came early for her because she pinned Charlotte for the third time and she is pretty sure that makes her the new number one contender.  All Bayley has dreamt about is holding the Women's Title.

Charlotte Flair interrupts and says she knows that Bayley enjoys playing wrestler.  Charlotte tells Bayley that she did not beat her.

Bayley says that when the referee raises your hand after the three count, you won the match.

We take a look at last week when Charlotte may have kicked out of the back slide before the three count.

Charlotte says she kicked out.  If it was someone like you, you would have to deal with the loss.  Charlotte says that since she was raised in the industry, she was taught to have a good lawyer with her.  She says they came to a settlement, your victory has been expunged from the records so it never happened.  Charlotte wonders if she cannot relate to someone so average.  Charlotte says she was born with a silver spoon.  She did not wait in line and she did not cut coupons.  

Charlotte says she remembers how Bayley reacted when she won the NXT Championship.  Charlotte says she was secretly laughing at Bayley the entire time.  Charlotte says she is not unreasonable and because this is the holiday season, she will give Charlotte another shot at her childhood dreams, a match right now.

Bayley agrees to the match.

Charlotte tells Bayley that in the settlement she was guaranteed a referee who would call it down the line.

That referee will be Dana Brooke.

Stephanie McMahon is in the back and she tells Braun Strowman to stop what he is doing.  Braun says he is looking for Sami Zayn.

Stephanie says that he needs to focus on his match.  Braun says he wants both men because he is multitasking.  She gives Braun a match against Sami Zayn next week.

Braun says he wants to face Sami in a Last Man Standing Match.

After the match, Neville is asked what is next for him. 

Neville says when you leave a line of bodies in your wake, suddenly everyone wants to talk to you.  You Americans only talk about him when you insult his accent or think his accent is too bland for television.  Maybe you don't think this face is appropriate for Raw.  It is your ignorance and your arrogance that has prevented you from appreciating him.  Neville says you will see him beat the Cruiserweight Champion tomorrow night because he is the King of the Cruiserweights.
