WWE Raw Lineup Announced for TLC Fallout Episode, Featuring a Six-Man Street Fight
TLC, has come and gone, leaving the company with six weeks of build-up before the 2021 Royal Rumble event on Jan. 31. This week s Raw will see the fallout from Sunday s show, and WWE.com released a quick lineup for the Red Brand on Monday afternoon. The episode will be headlined by a six-man tag team Street Fight, pitting Drew McIntyre, Keith Lee and Sheamus against AJ Styles, The Miz and John Morrison.
McIntyre successfully retained his WWE title on Sunday even after Miz cashed in his Money in the Bank contract and turned the TLC title match into a triple threat. Between Styles apparent frustrations with Miz and the looming threat of Sheamus finally turning on McIntyre, don t be shocked if there are some betrayals during the match.

Drew McIntyre is scheduled to face AJ Styles in a Tables, Ladders and Chairs Match with the WWE Championship on the line at the
TLC event on Sunday. However, in the weeks building up to the show, The Miz has consistently teased cashing-in his Money in the Bank contract on McIntyre, adding an extra wrinkle to the matchup. Between the booking and Raw s record-low ratings this past Monday, many fans have guessed WWE will do something drastic on Sunday night and have Miz use the briefcase during the show.
According to @WrestleVotes, that seems to have been the plan. The only hiccup is that every idea that s been pitched regarding the cash-in has reportedly been shot down.
Steve Austin Reveals Backstage Argument With Vince McMahon Over His Latest WWE Raw Appearance
✖
Steve Austin s lone appearance on WWE television this year came back on March 16, which WWE dubbed Austin 3:16 Day. His arrival came on a episode of Raw back when the company was first starting to appear inside of the empty WWE Performance Center and resulted in a painfully awkward (yet viral) promo between Austin and Byron Saxton. Austin even admitted after the show that he accidentally kicked Saxton in the groin during the segment and wound up injuring his foot. My sincere apologies to [Byron Saxton] for kicking him dead square in the balls. I don t know what hurts worse, his balls or my foot. I will go in for X-Rays tomorrow. Byron, Ice em down for 20 minutes every other hour. That s what Vince did. All the best, Austin wrote at the time.
Bray Wyatt Posts Frightening Message Ahead of Firefly Inferno Match at WWE TLC TLC pay-per-view event. While little is known about the stipulation itself (is it like a normal Inferno match? will it be cinematic? etc.), many fans are assuming at least one of the two will be lit on fire at some point during the show. Wyatt, who usually stays in character on social media, posted a tweet on Sunday hinting towards his plan for his bout with The Viper. The thing about fire is, it does what it pleases. I burn, you burn, we all burn. Eventually, Wyatt wrote, along with an emoji of a red circle and a black and white photo of a caterpillar.
Report: Asuka s Tag Partner for WWE TLC Revealed
TLC on Sunday and based on new reports from the Wrestling Observer her mystery partner has been revealed. The Empress was originally supposed to team with Lana, but The Ravishing Russian was written out of the match after suffering the latest attack from the heel champions. The outlet reports Charlotte Flair is currently in Florida for tonight s event and will team with Asuka.
While it may seem like a last-minute swap, it actually pays off a story from months ago. Back in June Flair had to be written off television in order to undergo surgery, so WWE had Jax attack her backstage and injure her after The Queen failed to beat Asuka for the Raw Women s Championship.
