Becky Lynch is trying to fight her right now. Jax goads her into thinking they’re going to have a match but instead challenges her to a match at WWE Monday Night Raw: Day 1.  Becky attacks Jax after Jax says that she’s going to put her in the hospital and Becky’s daughter is going to ask why she’s uglier than usual.

– Shinsuke Nakamura reads the audience the story of The American Nightmare Before Christmas. He was surrounded by a Christmas tree and some milk and cookies. It’s essentially just a retelling of everything that’s happened between them. In good news, Cody is actually in the building and attacks Shinsuke backstage and they brawl throughout the arena.

– Akira Tozawa is in Adam Pearce’s office and he is being asked if he’s sure he wants the match he just asked for. He says he is and he leaves. Chelsea Green and Piper Niven show up and ask Adam to cancel the upcoming tag team match. He, of course, declines, and tells them the match is next so they need to head on over to the ring. Bronson Reed is the last to enter the room and says that he knows Adam is planning on a way to find out Gunther’s next challenger and says they need to talk.

– Seth Rollins comes to the ring. He says after last week’s confrontation with CM Punk he’s more motivated than ever to prove that he’s the best World Champion in the industry. He’s about to put over Drew McIntyre as an opponent, but McIntyre interrupts him. McIntyre congratulates Seth Rollins for standing up to CM Punk and tells an emotional story about the sacrifices he’s made to live his dream. McIntyre believes that Seth Rollins can relate to this because he is married to Becky Lynch who has been through the same struggles. Rollins says he and the people are not sure how to feel about Drew. He then makes the mistake of saying he feels pity for Drew McIntyre and Drew beats him up.
