He said he’s not even talking about the weeks of E saying Owens was a liar and traitor, so he snapped last week and how could he not? He said look, he was never lying, but it doesn’t matter because you said it and everyone loves you so if you said it, it must be true, right? He said E cost him his match with Rollins by getting in his way, marking his third straight loss since returning. He said there’s nothing more he would love than to get in the ring and beat the hell out of E again, but he had to get something off his chest first. Owens stood at the entrance with a mic, looking bored at E’s insinuations. Owens’ music hit to a slight pop, but more boos. He said to bring his lying, treacherous carcass out there to handle business. He said that’s Sunday, but this is Monday Night Raw, so he directed his words at another fellow member of the roster in Owens. He said now Roman, he has to take a piece of him that he will never get back. champion, but you and your little cousins took it to a place we can never come back from because he put his hands on his family, and now he has to beat his ass. He said you see Roman, it was supposed to brand vs. E interrupted the announcers welcoming the viewers and said since becoming WWE Champion (he paused for a slightly delayed pop from the crowd), it appears that a lot of people have their eyes on him, but with Thanksgiving right around the corner, please believe he has plenty to give – including leftovers – but let’s not waste any time and get to the matter at hand: Roman Reigns. E entered the ring looking a bit focused, but also like he wasn’t attacked last week it seemed too normal. E’s music hit to a good, but not big, pop. They cut to the crowd in Indianapolis with a wide shot, then some closer panning shots as RAWbot welcomed viewers with the location graphic. They then showed him attacking E at ringside, throwing him into the steel steps twice before hitting an apron powerbomb. The show began with a video recap of last week’s saga of Kevin Owens trying to get Big E to believe he didn’t try to capitalize on Seth Rollins’ interference on purpose, then the ending of the match where he ran into E to give Rollins the count out victory.
I want to say it’s due to Survivor Series season and it will get better after, but who knows?) Thank you to all the readers for your support and feedback! Raw has been mostly bad during that time, exacerbated by the pandemic, and some of the optimism I had after the first two weeks of new rosters was dashed last week. Tonight essentially marks me being a contributor at the torch for one year.
