WWE RAW REPORT: A WWE CHAMPION . . . A UNIVERSAL CHAMPION . . . AND A LASHLEY WALK INTO A RING, WOMEN'S TAG TITLE MATCH, A PLAYGROUND OF FEAR, A NEW TAG TEAM (ON RAW), AND MORE

We begin with a look back at last week when Big E was able to cash in his Money in the Bank briefcase to become the new WWE Champion.

We are in Raleigh, North Carolina and your announcers are Jimmy Smith, Corey Graves, and Byron Saxton.

The New Day make their way to the ring for the Big E Championship Celebration.

Big E says today is not November 25th, but he is here to give thanks.  Thanks to all of you who chanted New Day Rocks.  Even to those who once chanted New Day Sucks.  I forgive you.  I am thankful for everyone who supported me as I climbed that ladder to get the briefcase.  I am beyond grateful for all of you who lost your minds when I became WWE Champion..  I am grateful for all of you for all of you below the heavens and one above.

We are going to have this celebration a little short because we have business and that is against the Smackdown Tag Team Champions, The Usos and their little friend, their cousin, the Tribal Chief, the head of the table, Roman Reigns.  Raw is our show.  Tonight, we send the Bloodline packing and do you know why?  Because . . . 

Roman Reigns' music plays and he makes his way to the ring with The Usos and Paul Heyman.

Roman and Big E have a belt stand off but Roman has his belt higher since he is taller than Big E.

We are told that due to Randy Orton's RKO last week, MVP is out of action.

Randy Orton is in his locker room with his headphones on to avoid listening to Riddle.

Riddle says he has matching headphones so they can listen to Spotify together.  Riddle says it is time for a motivational speech for tonight.  He says he knows Randy is hurt after what happened last week.  Skipper doesn't stand a chance against you.  Riddle asks what would be his spirit animal.  Maybe he is a mongoose.  

Randy asks Riddle if he is confusing real life with movies.

Randy tells Riddle to keep Omos occupied by telling him your family safari stories.  While you do that, I will try to break some of AJ's ribs.

Randy says he likes the headphones.
