WWE RAW REPORT: TLC IS SUNDAY, SOMEONE IS SET ON FIRE, A CHANGE TO A MATCH ON SUNDAY?, A HANDICAP MATCH, AND MORE

We are back and it is time for the Firefly FunHouse to come to the Thunderdome.

Bray Wyatt comes to the ring.

Huskus, Ramblin Rabbit, and Mercy are at ringside too.

Bray says hello to the fireflies and he says it is great to see the smiling faces in the Thunderdome.  He says it warms his soul.  Before we get to all of the fun stuff, Bray says he has an apology to make.  He tells Randy Orton he is sorry.  He says he is really sorry.  Both of us were having the time of our lives last week and then things get out of hands and one thing leads to another.  It was just one giant misunderstanding.  Bray says he knows that HE has a very sad, sick, deranged, twisted mind of his own.

Bray says he knows that he has things to fix about himself but he wishes that he had gotten to finish things with Randy.  After you are finished with HIM after the TLC pay per view, I am not too sure what will be left of you.  There shall be no fun and games at TLC.  There will just be sadness and pain and zowie wowie, that will be alright.  Bray says he is going to celebrate and since TLC will be no laughing matter, he will bring some laughter tonight.

He has some jokes for the Viper and they will be hissteical.

What's the best way to measure a viper . . . inches because they don't have any feet.

What do snakes use to clean their car windows .  . . windshield vipers.

Randy Orton shows up on the TitanTron and he tells Bray that now that he has his attention, last week I said when the time comes and when his time comes, he will tell the devil in the eye that the most evil son of a bitch had come home.  Little did I know what you would give me the chance.  After I put you down, something changed.  You changed.  HE appeared, out of nowhere.  Randy says for the first time in a long time, he was outmaneuvered, by HIM, not by you.  HE won't do it on Sunday and HE won't do it tonight.

I know how much you love games, you should extend your little field trip and pay me a visit.  How about we play a game.  How about we play a game of hide and seek.

Bray accepts and Randy tells Bray to find him.

Bray says he will find Randy.

Let the games being.

Bray says he is a little busy and he walks away.  

Ramblin Rabbit shows up and Matt says he reminds him of Baby Yoda so he calls him Baby Bro-da.  He asks Ramblin Rabbit to sign a carrot for his pet rabbit.

We are back and Tom Phillips is in the ring and he mentions the TLC match at TLC between Drew McIntyre and AJ Styles as we prepare to raise the title belt above the ring.

AJ Styles makes his way to the ring first.

Out next is the WWE Champion Drew McIntyre..

Tom says that after the belt is raised to the heavens, they will get a chance to talk.

AJ says Drew doesn't have to address him.  He needs to address the WWE Championship because it will be the last time it will be around your waist.  AJ says they have never faced each other in a one-on-one match.  He wanted to dive deep into who Drew McIntyre is.  AJ says he was a little surprised and shocked that it took you 19 years to climb the WWE mountain and be the champion.  AJ asks how is this possible.  All of the accolades and how did it take you 19 years?  You showed up a month ago when you lost to Randy Orton at Hell in a Cell.  You can't handle the pressure.  That is what is getting to you.  You beat Randy and got your championship back.  It changed you.  You are making mistakes and taking too many risks.  Why would you take the risks that you are taking.  When was the last time you volunteered for a Tables, Ladders, and Chairs match?  You have never been in one of those matches before.

AJ says he defended his title in a TLC match and he won.  If he has to take every table, ladder, and chair and bend them over your back to get that championship, I will.  Kiss that championship goodbye because it will look phenomenal around my waist.

Drew says that was quite the compelling speech.  I will present the facts as I see them.  We have never wrestled before and this is a match I have wanted.  People asked when would we finally get AJ Styles versus Drew McIntyre.  It will happen on Sunday.  I have never been in a TLC match while you have been successful in the past.  You mentioned I lost the title and got it back.  I thought my goal was to win the title, but by losing and winning it back, my goal is to stay the champion.  Who is Drew McIntyre?  

I am the champion who led WWE through uncharted waters in 2020.  I thrive on pressure.  The journey you talk about made me this way.  I am the champion who is going to tear you apart on Sunday.  Drew says every man dies, but not every man truly lives.  This Sunday, I will do whatever it takes to myself to stay WWE Champion.  Are you willing to do the same?

Drew puts the belt on the hook.

AJ asks if you are prepared to face AJ Styles in a TLC match.  Good for you.  

What if it isn't just me you have to face in a TLC match.

A ladder is pushed onto Drew and we see Miz and John Morrison.  Morrison and Miz attack Drew in the corner.  Miz with more kicks and Morrison grabs a ladder.  Drew with a Claymore to Miz and then he hits a Claymore onto the ladder Morrison is holding.  Drew with a head butt to AJ and then Drew tosses a ladder out of the ring.  

Drew prepares to Claymore AJ but Omos tosses the ring steps into the ring.  Drew turns his attention to Omos and AJ clips Drew.  AJ with a Phenomenal Forearm to Drew and then he kicks Drew.  

Omos gives AJ a ladder and he hits Drew in the midsection with it and then hits Drew in the head.  AJ slams the ladder onto Drew's back.  Omos hands AJ a chair and AJ hits Drew in the back with the chair.  AJ puts the chair in the turnbuckles and he sends Drew face first into the chair.  Omos brings a table into the ring.  AJ puts Drew onto the table and AJ climbs the ladder while a referee comes into the ring and waves his arms.  AJ with an elbow drop through the table.  AJ climbs the ladder and grabs the belt.

We go to credits.
