Tonight's Raw will feature yet another match between Charlotte and Sasha Banks for the Women's Championship! Will we ever tire of this classic rivalry? Possibly tonight! Meanwhile, The New Day defend their tag team championships on the road to the record, this time against Gallows and Anderson. Also, other stuff!

Press 5 or refresh for more updates.

Raw opens with a recap of last week's main event, then Chris Jericho in the ring for the Highlight Reel. "Welcome to the highlight reel! Tonight, my guest needs no indroduction, but I'm going to give him one anyway, for you muttonheads. My guest is the longest-reigning Universal Champion of all time, he's also my best friend, my guest, Kevin Owens!"

Owens hits the ring. "Chris, I gotta say, it's an absolute honour to be out here with you for the highlight reel for the second time in a row."

"Twice in a row."

"Is that a record?"

"That's a record."

"Making history, unlike all of these people. That's a fact, you people have never made history. What these people have done is celebrate Thanksgiving. That holiday where people get together with their families, pretend they like each other, eat some food--"

"Get fat."

"Out of shape. But you know what it really is? American Thanksgiving, it's when Americans try to get in one last meal before they rush out to every single store and trample each other in an attempt to save, like, 60 bucks on a terrible flatscreen TV."

"Cheapskates."

"Of course, Chris and I have never done that, because we're part of a superior breed of human, and it's called Canadian. And as Canadians, we actually had Thanksgiving last month."

"Canadians, always ahead of the curve."

"That's right. But Chris, why don't we ignore these silly USA chants and play along? Why don't we say what we're thankful for? I'll start. First of all, I'm thankful for being your WWE Universal Champion. I am thankful for being the face, right here, the face of the premiere show of the WWE, and of course I'm talking about Monday Night Raw. Also known as the Kevin Owens Show. But last but not least, I'm thankful for my best friend, Chris Jericho."

"I'm gonna go now, I'm gonna say what I'm thankful for. I'm thankful that you're my best friend, brings a tear. I'm also thankful for this wicked rad scarf."

"The anchors are because we're the anchors of Raw. I've heard you say that."

"Exactly. And frankly, I'm thankful for Seth Rollins. Because Seth Rollins showed me what happens when you let ego take over your life. Seth Rollins is the epitome of a stupid idiot. He took advantage of his opportunity and took a shot last week. And he lost."

"It's become such a common occurrence, we've started calling it something. He Rollinsed it."

"And Kevin Owens won even though Mick Foley banned me from ringside. A lot of people have been saying it was me in a Sin Cara mask, of course it wasn't. It was clearly Sin Cara in a Chris Jericho mask."

"And such a realistic mask."

"He was wearing the Mask of Jericho. Put it on, man!"

"And it didn't matter anyway, because I had him right where I wanted him. And after I powerbombed him on the apron, he's not medically cleared to compete tonight."

Roman Reigns hits the ring.

Owens: "Can we help you?"

Roman: "I don't know why you stopped. You're funny guys, out here, I can see why you're best friends."

Chris: "Are we funny like a clown? Do we come out here and entertain you, dance for you? Shut up! What is this, a joke to you?"

Reigns: "I don't think this is a joke, I think your best friend as Universal Champion, that's a huge joke."

Owens: "So I'm a joke to you. I think the only joke is when you come out here and call yourself 'The Guy'. That's hilarious."

Reigns: "That's no joke. I am the guy. And around here, you're just a guy. Who needs a lot of help."

Owens: "Help with what?"

Reigns: "Help with everything. Why do you think you keep him around? You need help with everything."

Owens: "I don't need Chris Jericho."

Reigns: "Are you going on the record saying you don't need Chris Jericho? You said it. I disagree. I think without Chris Jericho, you would've lost the Universal Title. Actually, you would've lost it the week before that. And the week before that. And the week before that."

Chris: "Stop it! You know what happens when you make fun of my best friend? When you make fun of Kevin Owens? You know what--"

Owens: "Shut up! I've got this! You can't talk to me that way, I'm the WWE Universal Champion!"

Reigns: "Or what?"

Owens: "Or how about I powerbomb you on this apron like I did your little buddy Seth Rollins?"

Reigns: "See, that's who I want to talk to. I don't care about Joke Owens Joke. I want to talk to Fight Owens Fight. Matter of fact, why don't we fight tonight? And if I win, I get another shot at the Universal Championship at Roadblock: End of the Line."

Owens: "You want a fight? You got it. You just put yourself on the Kevin Owens Show."

Reigns: "I like that show. But spoiler alert: By the end of the show, I'm going to be kicking your ass."

After a commercial, Owens is freaking out backstage. Chris Jericho asks why he told him to shut up, Owens brushes the question off. Jericho says he's always there for Owens, Owens says all he's doing is making people think he needs him. Jericho says they're done. Owens says he's going to regret saying that, Mick Foley walks in, says Owens has his match, and Jericho can't keep ducking him. Jericho says he doesn't need to take any action, because he's done."

Mick: "It's not action. It's a massacre. Sometimes in WWE, you have certain people who need to be saved from themselves."

Sami: "I need to be saved from myself?"

Mick: "That's the way it is."

Sami: "I don't need to be saved from myself, I need to be saved from you! From someone who's clearly taking the orders from above and forgot who he is!"

Mick: "I made the match! Stephanie doesn't make the matches, she doesn't like you! You said you'd bring home the IC Title, you didn't, she wanted you fired! I made the match, that was supposed to be the punishment! But you weren't getting punished, you were getting destroyed! You need to be saved from yourself! This is not a matchup you can win, he's not a wrestler, he's not an entertainer, he's not an athlete, he's a monster! It doesn't match up well! You cannot win!"

Jericho says of course it's real, but in this business you can count your friends on one hand, and he thought Owens was one such friend, but now he's not sure, so if Owens doesn't need him, he doesn't need Owens.

Now Charlotte, Sasha, what the two of you have done quite simply is transcend women's wrestling, transcend Raw and transcend WWE. This rivalry needs to end in equally historic fashion, especially with the great matches Smackdown has been booking for TLC. So what I want you two to do is take a bit of a rest.

Never could've seen it coming. It was like calling the Cubs win the world series. But what I can't believe is that the luckiest day of your life corresponded with the luckiest day of your wife's life, because she got to see the realest guy in his realest form. So let me guess, you went home for the holidays, had a Thanksgiving dinner."

"Whoa, Enzo, what do you think they were eating? (list of Thanksgiving foods with a 'How you doin'?' chant)"

Enzo: "And the whole time, your wife was thinking about a Certified G stuffing her turkey."

Swann: "Thank you, but please let me take it from here. Is that The Brian Kendrick I spy with my little eye? Why you out here? Are you trying to play mind games? Trying to get in my head? Or is it because you doubt yourself? Because I already beat you twice! Two times! Twice! And the third time will be that much sweeter, because I'll be coming home the WWE Cruiserweight Champion. And you know why? Because you can't handle this!"

Sheamus is at a bar, refusing to answer questions about tonight's title match. Cesaro walks in, orders a drink, they talk about what went wrong last week, get into an argument, then says they'll always have Survivor Series. They reminisce about how great they got without even liking each other. A dude walks up and starts trash-talking Sheamus for being Irish. Then someone else walks in and starts trash-talking both if them, belches in Cesaro's face as the rest of the bar laugh. Sheamus talks him down, they talk it out and start throwing punches. Someone cracks a pool cue across Sheamus' back and eats a stein to the head from Cesaro.

After a commercial, Charly Caruso tries for an interview. Owens yells at her for her timing, then says he's seen what happens to people she interviews and says Jericho is still his best friend, then berates her for not caring, and says Jericho was all he could think about when he was in the ring, and that's why he lost.

They show a replay of the Lesnar/Goldberg match at Survivor Series, then cut to Michael Cole's interview with Paul Heyman.

Cole: "What happened?"

"Whew, that's the million dollar question, isn't it? We screwed up, and we have to take accountability for that. There's no way around that, we took Goldberg lightly. Fantasy warfare gets real. It was a fucking video game. The guy hasn't been in a ring for 12 years, and he gets in the ring with Brock Lesnar. We thought this would've been the easiest payday in the world for Brock Lesnar, and right out of the gate he spears Brock. And that's fait a complet. You can't breathe, you can't fight."

"I have to ask, how is Brock dealing with this?"

"Like you care. Like you're up at night wondering how Lesnar is dealing with this. The cracked ribs are part of the game, it's like a doctor saying 'All I get to see is sick people', it's part of the job. Injuries are part of the job. There's no excuses for this. This goes into the record books, people can watch it for the next 100 years. It goes into the record books that he lost in a minute and 26 seconds. He's dealt with losses, but this is different. I've been with him the whole time, through the ups and downs. Brock is in the mindset that he has something to prove, and that scares me. Because that mindset can define you, it can destroy you, or it can drive you. Can you imagine Brock Lesnar with something to prove? We've never seen this side of Brock Lesnar before."

"So what happens next?"

"Well if there's something to prove, and Goldberg is in the Royal Rumble match, then Brock Lesnar is in the Royal Rumble Match. Where there will be one winner, one conqueror, 28 losers, and one victim. And that victim's name is Goldberg."

They show another promo for Emmalina, this one still saying "Premiering soon".

Match Seven: Raw Tag Team Championships: The New Day (c) vs. Gallows and Anderson
