Sunday s Tables, Ladders & Chairs pay-per-view gave fans a lot to talk about, including the apparent murder of Bray Wyatt by Randy Orton.
During their Firefly Inferno match, The Viper set The Fiend s entire body ablaze in the middle of the ring. It brought back memories of The Undertaker being burned in his casket, but this time, we saw the body go up in flames.
We also saw Charlotte Flair return to help Asuka win the Women s Tag Team Championships, and The Hurt Business defeated The New Day to become the new Raw tag team champions.
This week s Raw dealt with all of the fallout from Sunday s show while also setting up the Royal Rumble on January 26. Let s take a look at everything that happened on Monday s episode.
Asuka and Charlotte Flair will defend the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championships on this week’s episode of Smackdown. It was announced on tonight’s Raw that the two will defend the titles they won at WWE TLC on Sunday on Friday’s show. Their opponents have not yet been revealed.
Smackdown will be taped on Tuesday, and will air on Christmas Day as normal on FOX.

Alexa Bliss Returns to WWE Raw, Offers an Update on The Fiend
Randy Orton strutted his way to the ring at the top of TLC on Sunday night. Orton gloated about his victory, saying he enjoyed every second of his victory before repeatedly stating that The Fiend is no more. Suddenly the lights started to flicker and eventually cut to black but instead of The Fiend appearing, Alexa Bliss was back playing on a swing set. She named the setup Alexa s Playground, then cracked a few jokes about what happened to the Fiend.
She then explained that The Fiend had simply returned home to the layers underneath the ground. But she then said that once he decides to come back, it will be like nothing Orton has ever seen before.
