She says she is proud of what she did to Ronda Rousey on Sunday. She will not apologize for what she did. She enjoyed it, and she did it for the women in the SmackDown locker and for the champ. Charlotte fought for Becky Lynch, and she thinks she accomplished the mission that Becky set her on. She made Rousey bow down to the queen.<\/p>\n<p>Paige heads to the ring. Paige also enjoyed the beating Charlotte gave to Rousey, but she does remind Charlotte that Rousey said she&#8217;s coming for her. Charlotte says if Rousey comes for her, she&#8217;ll just beat her up again. Paige is upset that Charlotte laid her hands on referees on Sunday though. As SmackDown GM, Paige fines Charlotte $100,000.<\/p>\n<p>The IIconics come out before Charlotte can respond. Peyton Royce and Billie Kay make fun of Charlotte snapping at Survivor Series. When they make it into the ring, Charlotte threatens them both, wondering which of them will be the next Ronda Rousey.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Match 1<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<strong>Charlotte Flair vs Billie Kay<\/strong> w\/ Peyton Royce<br \/>\n(referee: Ryan Tran)<\/p>\n<!-- Content Reveal v2.3.1 -->\n<div class=\"scrhead\" onmouseover=\"document.body.style.cursor='pointer'\" onmouseout=\"document.body.style.cursor='default'\" onclick=\"acr_swap_display('ran_69f35de42ba8b','0','','')\">\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\">document.writeln('<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cnjradio.com\/blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/simple-content-reveal\/images\/image1.gif\" class=\"scrimg\" id=\"scrimg_ran_69f35de42ba8b\" alt=\"Reveal content\" title=\"Reveal content\"\/>');<\/script> Show\/Hide Results\n<\/div>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\">document.writeln('<div style=\"display: none\" class=\"scrdiv\" id=\"scrdiv_ran_69f35de42ba8b\">');<\/script>\n<\/p>\n<p><strong>Result: Charlotte Flair wins via DQ when Billie Kay attacks<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Time: 4:47<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><script type=\"text\/javascript\">document.writeln('<\/div>');<\/script>\n<!-- End of Content Reveal -->\n\n<p><strong>Match Thoughts<\/strong><br \/>\nThe match began with Peyton slowly getting into the ring and quickly rolling back out a few times. This ended when Billie helped Peyton with a distraction, and Peyton started to take control of the match. It went on like that for a little while until Charlotte started to come back. At that point, Billie had seen enough. I think this was good for the IIconics, and helped continue Charlotte&#8217;s new attitude.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>Ring Area<\/em><\/span><br \/>\nAfter the match, the IIconics roll Charlotte out of the ring and go for a chair. A crew member takes the chair away, and as the IIconics are distracted, Charlotte gets up and hits them both with a spear. Charlotte proceeds to beat both IIconics onto the announce table ind into the barricade and steps.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>Backstage<\/em><\/span><br \/>\nRey Mysterio has seen a lot, but he&#8217;s never seen anyone like Randy Orton. Rey says that Orton is more sadistic now than he&#8217;s ever been. He knows Orton wants to hurt him, but Rey didn&#8217;t come back to be a victim.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>Backstage<\/em><\/span><br \/>\nThe Miz signs a Blu-ray copy of The Marine 6 for some guy.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>Ring Area<\/em><\/span><br \/>\nThe Miz is in the ring for Miz TV. He says it was an honor to fight alongside his guest at Survivor Series. His guest tonight is Shane McMahon.<\/p>\n<p>Shane heads to the ring. Miz continues to shower Shane with compliments. Shane wonders if Miz, as the host of his talk show, has a question. Miz asks Shane to team up with him. As a tag team. Shane is flattered, but he seems less than excited. Miz was expecting a different reaction. He says that if Shane is really a man, a McMahon, then he will team with Miz in a match right now. Miz brings out two local talents, the Bryant Brothers.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Match 3<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<strong>The Miz &amp; Shane McMahon vs The Bryant Brothers<\/strong><br \/>\n(referee: Mike Chioda)<\/p>\n<!-- Content Reveal v2.3.1 -->\n<div class=\"scrhead\" onmouseover=\"document.body.style.cursor='pointer'\" onmouseout=\"document.body.style.cursor='default'\" onclick=\"acr_swap_display('ran_69f35de42bb66','0','','')\">\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\">document.writeln('<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cnjradio.com\/blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/simple-content-reveal\/images\/image1.gif\" class=\"scrimg\" id=\"scrimg_ran_69f35de42bb66\" alt=\"Reveal content\" title=\"Reveal content\"\/>');<\/script> Show\/Hide Results\n<\/div>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\">document.writeln('<div style=\"display: none\" class=\"scrdiv\" id=\"scrdiv_ran_69f35de42bb66\">');<\/script>\n<\/p>\n<p><strong>Result: Dane Bryant pins The Miz with a small package<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Time: 1:14<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><script type=\"text\/javascript\">document.writeln('<\/div>');<\/script>\n<!-- End of Content Reveal -->\n\n<p><strong>Match Thoughts<\/strong><br \/>\nThis was pretty funny.

Xavier Woods quickly says &#8220;six and one&#8221; before Kofi begins to talk about turkey day. New Day then talks about what they are thankful for. Kofi is thankful for their win last night on the Survivor Series Kickoff show, even if the win wasn&#8217;t counted. Woods is thankful for his hard drive so he doesn&#8217;t have to delete Spider-Man in order to download Red Dead Redemption 2. Big E is thankful for big, juicy, succulent breasts. Turkey breasts. As Big E begins to lick a turkey, The Bar and Big Show come out and heads towards the ring.<\/p>\n<p>Cesaro, as a tag champ, isn&#8217;t happy about competing in the next match. Kofi reminds Cesaro that New Day won their match while The Bar lost theirs.

Bryan doesn&#8217;t expect &#8220;these people&#8221; to understand, but this explanation is not for them. He says Daniel Bryan performed an act of betrayal, but the betrayal was when he announced his retirement. Bryan learned from his mistake, and he decided to fight. Bryan spent many hours in isolation, and in that isolation he developed a mantra: fight for your dreams, and your dreams will fight for you. And it worked.<\/p>\n<p>Bryan returned to the ring, and it was a great moment. But for these people, it was just a moment. They didn&#8217;t see the struggle. They didn&#8217;t see the people telling Bryan to &#8220;move on.&#8221; While Bryan was struggling, these idiots were chanting &#8220;AJ Styles.&#8221; They&#8217;re fickle.<\/p>\n<p>In his match with AJ Styles, Bryan&#8217;s dreams took over. Bryan&#8217;s dreams kicks AJ Styles in the balls. Bryan&#8217;s dreams made him realize that he doesn&#8217;t need these people. They also told him that he didn&#8217;t need to beat Lesnar to win, he needed Lesnar to beat the weakness out of Bryan. The old Daniel Bryan is dead. The &#8220;yes movement&#8221; is dead. All that&#8217;s left is &#8220;you.&#8221; The new Daniel Bryan. The WWE Champion. The only thing that matters now is for Daniel Bryan to never give up on his dreams again.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Match 6<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<strong>Rey Mysterio vs Randy Orton<\/strong><br \/>\n(referee: Mike Chioda)<\/p>\n<!-- Content Reveal v2.3.1 -->\n<div class=\"scrhead\" onmouseover=\"document.body.style.cursor='pointer'\" onmouseout=\"document.body.style.cursor='default'\" onclick=\"acr_swap_display('ran_69f35de42bbfb','0','','')\">\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\">document.writeln('<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cnjradio.com\/blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/simple-content-reveal\/images\/image1.gif\" class=\"scrimg\" id=\"scrimg_ran_69f35de42bbfb\" alt=\"Reveal content\" title=\"Reveal content\"\/>');<\/script> Show\/Hide Results\n<\/div>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\">document.writeln('<div style=\"display: none\" class=\"scrdiv\" id=\"scrdiv_ran_69f35de42bbfb\">');<\/script>\n<\/p>\n<p><strong>Result: Randy Orton wins via pinfall with an RKO<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Time: 5:10<\/strong> (1 break)<\/p>\n<p><script type=\"text\/javascript\">document.writeln('<\/div>');<\/script>\n<!-- End of Content Reveal -->\n\n<p><strong>Match Thoughts<\/strong><br \/>\nThis was a solid match.
