Kevin Owens makes his way to the ring.
We are back and Owens is still in the ring.
Kevin says he is in a great and festive mood tonight. I had a great Christmas at home with my family. I got to main event in Madison Square Garden and I won my match. In five days, the world will rejoice when I become WWE Champion at Day One. I am the only one of the four here tonight. That makes me smarter than Seth Rollins, tougher than Big E, and a lot stronger than Bobby Lashley. I can't blame them for not showing up and coming to a dump like Detroit. I thought it was important to make an example. At Day One, you will get a champion you deserve. The odds will be tough because of who is in the match.
Last week, Seth Rollins stomped Bobby Lashley's head into the steps. That helps me because Bobby is going after Seth. Big E got speared by Bobby Lashley. If Big E shows up, he will be going after Lashley and MVP. He is of one mind, heart, and soul with Seth Rollins. I put the perfect plan together. That will make me your WWE Champion.
Montel Vontavious Porter says that Kevin cannot be more wrong about his Day One predictions. He will give Kevin credit for his plan. You have gotten them off your scent. if you think Bobby forgot about you and the power bomb on the apron, you are mistaken. It will take more than a stomp on steel steps or a power bomb on the apron to take him out. Bobby will be at Day One to wreak havoc on Seth Rollins. Bobby told him that he will rip the wet noodle arms of Kevin's ectomorphic body. It does not matter who it is, but someone will be in the Hurt Lock because we are back in the All Mighty Era.
Porter asks Kevin about his odds to win.
Kevin says as terrifying as that text message is, he is confident in his odds at Day One.
Porter calls Owens an idiot but Kevin says his mom said he is special.
Cedric Alexander and Shelton Benjamin make their way to the ramp to join Porter.
Kevin says he isn't the only one to make plans.
Porter says he cannot take credit for that.
Alexander says Kevin is right. One man cannot beat three. Benjamin says Lashley can't take on the whole world. Alexander says Lashley was at his best when they were the Hurt Business.
Porter says Lashley doesn't need anyone. If you want to talk some business, I will give you an opportunity.
Kevin cuts them off. If Shelton and Cedric want to reform the Hurt Business. Cedric thinks if he beats Kevin they will reform the Hurt Business. Come to the ring and we can do it.

We take a look at the feud between Liv Morgan and Becky Lynch.
Damian Priest says everyone has a dark side. He says he does his best to keep it at bay. He did enjoy planting Roode's head into the floor even if it cost me the match. I will not be disrespected. My rage could hurt me against someone like Dolph Ziggler. He is calculating and at any moment, he can steal the show. If I lose control, he will take advantage. If he does, he will go face to face with Damian. The rage that has cost him in the past will be what keeps the title where it belongs.

Eric Bischoff makes his way to the ring to officiate the vow renewal.
Eric Bischoff says it is truly great to be back in a WWE ring for such a special and cherished moment as we are about to see. We honor and respect the sanctity of marriage. This couple is a perfect example of that.
Eric brings out Miz and Miz almost trips walking into the ring, but he plays it off.
Out next is Maryse.
Miz says this is the last Raw of 2021 and what better way to commemorate it. I won the WWE Championship, starred on Dancing with the Stars, my Wife made her return, and we humiliated Edge. I will dominate Edge at Day One. In honor of what is going to happen at Day One, we wanted to give you something momentous. We are going to renew our vows.
We were married in the sunny Bahamas, but tonight we are in decrepit Detroit. It is not where you are, but who you are with. I am with the one true love.
Miz thanks Eric for officiating this ceremony. You are a legend and a visionary.
Eric says he cannot mention how much it means to share this moment with you.
Maryse goes first.
She says the first time I met you 15 years ago, I knew you were the man of my dream. You are my rock, you are my world, you are my everything. I love you so much. You'll show the world that you are the best husband, father, and better superstar than Edge. If loving you is wrong, I never want to be right. Will you continue to be my husband?
Miz asks everyone if he should. Miz says your opinion does not matter because you choose to live in Detroit and cheer for the Lions.
It is time for Miz to recite his vows.
He says when they met in 2006, you did not speak any English so I will do my vows in French.
Maryse points out that he is speaking in Spanish.

Miz says they knew that Edge would come out and try to ruin this. We wanted you to see what true love is. They kiss.
