Drew McIntyre and Bill Goldberg

The WWE Champion returned to the ring after being away for two weeks because of COVID-19. During his segment, he claimed he will put an end to Goldberg’s streak of returning and securing victories over challengers.

The Miz and John Morrison appeared, and the former threatened to cash in his Money in the Bank contract at Royal Rumble. This is when Bill Goldberg entered the dome and told McIntyre what was coming his way.

The segment ended with Goldberg taking down The Miz with a spear and Drew McIntyre taking down John Morrison with a claymore.

Matt Riddle vs. The Hurt Business

‘The Original Bro’ wants a shot at the United States Championship. However, he had to go through Shelton Benjamin, Cedric Alexander, and MVP in a Gauntlet Match.

Riddle faced Shelton Benjamin first. Benjamin could have claimed the win, but Cedric Alexander distracted the referee. Riddle capitalized on the missed opportunity and pinned Benjamin for a victory.

Next up was MVP. However, Riddle quickly used a heel hook on him. He secured the win over MVP via tap out.

Finally, Riddle had to face Cedric Alexander. Alexander kept him beat down for quite a while before Riddle used an exploder on him.

He secured a win over Alexander with a victory roll. The segment ended with Bobby Lashley beating him and leaving him in the aisle.

Asuka vs. Alexa Bliss

Last week, Alexa Bliss defeated Asuka. This week, Asuka put the WWE Raw Women’s Championship title on the line.

The match was more inclined towards Bliss playing mind games with Asuka than fighting her.

Right after tossing Asuka to the floor, Alexa Bliss was riding a toy horse in the middle of the ring. Next, right when Asuka was establishing her dominance, Bliss took over with a change in theme, lights, and appearance.

Little Miss Bliss applied the Mandible Claw on ‘The Empress of Tomorrow’, but Randy Orton arrived inside the ring with his burned face. He delivered an RKO to Bliss, and the segment ended with him standing over Bliss.

Result: Alexa Bliss defeated Asuka via DQ.

Towards the end, Morrison hung Sheamus from the top rope. However, Sheamus recovered and hit Morrison on the face with his knee, securing the victory.

The Miz was ringside the entire time. After the match, he challenged Sheamus to a two-on-one match.

There was a brief pause before Sheamus battled both The Miz and John Morrison. The Miz and Morrison dominated the match for the majority of its running time. They beat down Sheamus prior to the Royal Rumble match next week.

Finally, The Miz secured the win after delivering a Skull-Crushing Finale.
