Santino Marella, Paul Heyman, Bray Wyatt and Dean Ambrose promo
Santino came out to announce the “OMG” (which he pronounced as one word, not three letters) Shocking Moment of the Year. Before he got to the nominees, he accidentally incriminated himself as a pervert in, both, the men’s and women’s locker rooms.
When Raw returned from commercial, Santino announced Brock Lesnar’s win over The Undertaker as the winner.
Heyman came out and went into the “One Behind the One in Twenty-One and One” stuff, but he was interrupted by Wyatt.
Wyatt reiterated that “that was her chair.” He said that Ambrose took something sacred from him, so he had to take something from Ambrose, then he showed the footage of the nasty attack on SmackDown.
Wyatt said that he despises each and every member of the audience, and that they will burn if they get to close to him. He said he is going to bring an end to Ambrose at TLC, and he will not allow anybody to cry for Ambrose, since Ambrose will deserve everything he gets.
A siren started to go off, as an ambulance pulled into the arena, and Ambrose emerged from the back with a table, a ladder and a chair. Ambrose threw those items on the stage, ripped off his neckbrace and stared at Wyatt. Ambrose then grabbed the ladder and chair and started walking towards the ring.
Ambrose started throwing things at Wyatt, and jousting him with a ladder, forcing Wyatt to retreat.
Ambrose told Wyatt to take note of the ambulance, and said that the only way Wyatt will leave TLC is inside one of those. Ambrose said he will be the monster at TLC, and he will eat Wyatt alive.
I’ve had some issues with some of the stuff these two have done, as I just haven’t been very impressed, but this was very good. I’m very excited to see this match, and I expect them to put on a show.
Seth Green, Jerry Lawler and AJ Lee promo
Green was on the stage and introduced Jerry, and Jerry introduced the nominees for Diva of the Year.
After the commercial, Jerry awarded the award to AJ.
AJ came out and said she has redefined what it means to be a Diva. She said she doesn’t fit the mold, and that she’s still the longest-reigning Divas Champion of all-time.
She said she hopes that trend continues, but that she’s not done yet.
John Cena w/ Renee Young
Renee asked Cena about his match with Big Show.
Cena mentioned Vince McMahon’s comments about the locker room, and how they have to step up. He said that Seth Rollins probably heard those comments, and will be looking to step up at TLC.
He said that Show probably feels like he stepped up, but he just revealed himself to be a puppet. He said that he’s going to put Show on his shoulders to show the world that he still has it.
He returned his focus to Rollins and said that he’s lucky it’s a Tables Match at TLC, because he can’t pin Cena without Show’s help, and he’s not man enough to make Cena tap out. He said that if you think Rollins is going to be the man who puts Cena down, you better not hold your breath.
This was an excellent promo from Cena. He really sold the seriousness of his match with Rollins.
