Chelsea Green’s “Hot Mess” theme hits and out she comes with Piper Niven for their scheduled defense of the Undisputed WWE Women’s Tag-Team Championships. They settle in the ring and Samantha Irvin handles their formal pre-match ring introductions for this title tilt.

The bell sounds and now we’re officially off-and-running with this one. Green and Nattie kick things off for their respective teams. Green doesn’t do well with Nattie early on, so she tags in Niven. Niven does better but ends up spearing the ring post in the corner after Nattie moves.

Nattie tags in Tegan Nox, who stuns Niven and blasts her with a big kick before tagging Nattie back in. Nattie hits a cross body splash off the top-rope. She stops to pose for the fans as we head into a mid-match commercial break as this championship clash continues.

When we return, we see the match still in progress. Nox starts to scream and fight her way back into the offensive lead for her team, taking it to Green. Moments later, Niven and Green take over and pick up the win to retain.

Winners and STILL Undisputed WWE Women’s Tag-Team Champions: Chelsea Green & Piper Niven

Randy Orton vs. Dominik Mysterio

It’s main event (match) time …

Backstage, we see Randy Orton stretching for his main event match when up walks “Main Event” Jey Uso. He tells him he heard about receipts earlier tonight and for what it’s worth, he’s trying to leave the past in the past and he’s sorry for how things went down in the past with him.

Orton tells him he sees him having Cody Rhodes’ back for months and many other guys and that means something to him. He says he’s not done with The Bloodline and as long as Jey’s not in The Bloodline, they’re cool. Jey walks off. Orton continues stretching.

Back inside the arena, Dominik Mysterio’s theme hits and out comes “Dirty” Dom accompanied by JD McDonagh of The Judgment Day. He settles in the ring for our main event match of the evening and we head into a pre-match commercial break.

When we return, Sami Zayn vs. Drew McIntyre and Seth Rollins vs. Jey Uso for the title is announced for next week’s show. We then shoot backstage to Jackie Redmond, who is standing by with “The Man” Becky Lynch.

She talks about being sore after WarGames and mentions The Man coming back around to Nashville. She talks about there being a thin line between love and hate. She says there’s a couple of fights on the horizon, one more pressing than the other. She walks off on that ominous note.

In the arena, Randy Orton’s iconic theme hits and out comes “The Viper” for our final match of the evening here on the post-Survivor Series episode of Monday Night Raw. The bell sounds and we’re officially off-and-running with this one. The fans immediately break out in a loud “Randy! Randy!” chant.

Orton and Dom lock-up and “The Viper” immediately jumps into the early offensive lead. As Dom-Dom regroups on the floor at ringside with JD McDonagh, Orton stands tall in the ring glaring at him as we shift gears and head into a mid-match commercial break.

When we return, we see Orton still dominating the action as the fans break out in a loud “Who’s Your Daddy?” chant. Dom capitalizes on Orton’s one mistake and takes his knee out from behind. He then runs him into the steel steps on the floor. Back in the ring he goes for the cover, but Orton kicks out at two.

“The Viper” catches Dom-Dom coming off the ropes with the most beautiful powerslam in sports entertainment, as Michael Cole mentions on commentary. He does the draping-DDT spot to Dom-Dom off the middle ropes and then he drops down and pounds the mat as he goes into Viper mode. JD pulls Dom out of the ring to save him.

JD McDonagh sees Jelly Roll sitting in the crowd behind the commentators. He gets in his face and Jelly Roll pushes him down hard. Dom gets in his face and Jelly Roll pushes him, too. Orton shakes his hand and jokes about Jelly Roll smelling like weed before dumping Dom on the commentary desk, which doesn’t break.

The fans chant “One More Time” and Orton obliges, dumping Dom on the desk again even harder, and it still doesn’t break. Back in the ring, Orton hits JD on the apron with a draping DDT and then blasts Dom with an RKO out of nowhere for the win. We see Jelly Roll celebrating his victory from the first row.

Winner: Randy Orton

CM Punk Finishes Up This Week’s Show

It’s main event (segment) time …

After the Orton-Dom main event match wraps up, we shoot to the locker room where we see CM Punk’s dressing room door closed with his logo and name plate on the door. Michael Cole says CM Punk is up next when we return. On that note, we head to another commercial break.

When we return from the break, we hear the radio screech and then the first note for Living Colour’s Cult of Personality plays and out comes CM Punk to a roar from the Minneapolis crowd. They chant “CM Punk! CM Punk!” as “The Best in the World” makes his way to the ring in his new WWE t-shirt with his lightning fist logo on it.

His theme dies down and the loud “CM Punk! CM Punk!” chants grow even louder. He begins, “Looks like hell froze over.” He says when he says that he means this is him standing in the ring with a live microphone. He jokes about how a Blackhawks fan is being cheered in Minneapolis.

Punk says he’s been thinking about how to describe how he’s feeling now that he’s back. He says he’s changed. He mentions it sounds corny but it’s true. “I’m home.” The fans chant “Welcome back!” and “CM Punk!” in response to that. Punk says he didn’t know how he was gonna react but he’s feeling like his old self. He says this is where he belongs.

He says it’s been over ten years and the WWE Universe never forgot him. He says it’s powerful. He tells the fans that they are all powerful. He says the people watching at home and the fans who come to the buildings never stopped chanting his name. He says the voiceless found their voice. He says he heard them and that’s why he’s back because he loves and misses all you fans.

CM Punk says a wise man once told him for him to get everything he needs out of this place, he has to leave and come back. He says he hates to admit it but the wise man was right. Obviously “The Wise Man” is Paul Heyman. He talks about how in front of the camera and behind it, it’s been nothing but love. He says everyone is happy to see him, and even a few kissed him on the mouth.

He says some have asked about AJ Lee and he says she’s doing well and she sends her regards. He says everyone has welcomed him back with open arms. Well, almost everybody. He says some people are afraid. They’re afraid of the truth and what they don’t understand. He says everything he always wanted is here. The best in the world is here but he hasn’t been here for 10 years.

Punk says he understands being afraid. He says they’re afraid the bar is set to an unreachable level. That he’s got the brass ring in his back pocket. He says some people are going to have to come to terms with the fact that in this ring, on this microphone and even on commentary, the best in the world is back and his name is CM Punk.

His theme hits again and he glares into the camera with a smirk and yells off mic one final time, “I’m back! I’m not here to make friends, I’m here to make money!” The show goes off the air on that note. Thanks for joining us!
