Some of the matches that took place include Elias vs. Bobby Lashley in a street fight, WWE RAW Tag Team Champions Bobby Roode & Chad Gable vs. The Revival, Finn Balor vs. Drew McIntyre vs. Dolph Ziggler, WWE RAW Women’s Champions Ronda Rousey vs. Natalya, and Seth Rollins vs. Baron Corbin in the main event. Also, Vince McMahon made an appearance dressed as Santa Claus to announce the Women’s Tag Team Titles.

WWE also hyped the Royal Rumble and the matches taking place at that show. WWE will attempt to keep rebound its viewership for RAW next week, which will be tough as it will be taped again and air on New Year’s Eve.
