WWE RAW Spoiler Results For 12/24

 
The December 24th edition of WWE RAW was taped on the night of the 17th at the Golden 1 Center in Sacramento, California.
– RAW will kick off with a 34th Street Fight between Elias and Bobby Lashley. Elias comes out and plays a Christmas-themed song insulting Lashley and Lio Rush. Lashley comes out to interrupt, and our opening bout gets underway.
– Elias def. Bobby Lashley: During the match, Lashley opens a present and dumps Lego bricks all over the mat. Lashley goes to throw Elias on to the Lego, but Elias reverses and slams Lashley on to them. Elias takes a violin out of a box and smashes it on Lashley for the win. Elias pours egg nog on Lio Rush after the match.
– Bobby Roode & Chad Gable (c) def. The Revival: This one was for the RAW Tag Titles. The Champions retained with roll-up pin, in a match that got good reviews from fans in attendance.
– Drew McIntyre does an interview saying he intends to win the Royal Rumble.
– Finn Balor def. Dolph Ziggler & Drew McIntyre: Finn won this three-way dance with the Coup De Grace on Ziggler. After the match, McIntyre gets back in the ring, but Ziggler gives him the Zig Zag.
– Sasha Banks, Ember Moon, & Bayley def. Alicia Fox, Dana Brooke, & Mickie James: After the match, The Riott Squad attacks the winners.
– Paul Heyman comes out to the ring and gets on the mic. Heyman talks about his client Brock Lesnar, and then he sings a Christmas carol about Lesnar beating Braun Strowman at the Royal Rumble pay-per-view. Braun Strowman comes out to interrupt. Braun doesn’t have the sling on his shoulder anymore, and he talks some trash to Heyman about what he’s going to do to Lesnar, before sending Heyman away.
– Ronda Rousey def. Natalya: Ronda retained her RAW Women’s Title in this one with the arm bar.
– Heath Slater def. Jinder Mahal: Rhyno runs in wearing a Santa costume and hits the Gore on Jinder.
– Seth Rollins def. Baron Corbin: Rollins scores the win with the curb stomp. Fan reports noted that some in attendance started leaving before the end of the show, as it has been a long day at the Golden 1 Center for fans with two RAW tapings back to back.

Vince McMahon has been the chief decision maker for WWE since he purchased the company from his father. This mindset brought him loads of success, but at this juncture McMahon could have too much on his plate.
Dave Meltzer said on Wrestling Observer Radio that Vince McMahon really doesn’t sleep much. Enough years without sleep will eventually catch up to you.

“You can do your surgeries and all the things like that but ultimately the lack of sleep is going to get to you.”
“It worries me because he’s been such a fixture but it’s like for better or worse it’s a big change when he’s not gonna be there. I’m not saying death or anything, but it’s a sign that the day is coming that he’s not gonna be there whether he gets old. Look, every time I see him on TV, I get worried. So yeah, there’s something to that.”
“He’s got decades of experience that nobody else has and you can’t minimize that.”
“We haven’t even gotten to football season yet and that starts in another year. Again, he was much, much younger during the original XFL and I dealt with him during the original XFL and not just him.”

Meltzer noted that Vince McMahon promised that the XFL this time around wouldn’t pull WWE resources. We already know this to be untrue.
While the new football project will have their own CEO and internal system, McMahon is still expected to be heavily involved. This simply might not leave enough hours in the day for Vince McMahon to continue on like he has.

“For [Vince McMahon] that is still a very scary proposition because you simply can’t run WWE and the XFL at the same time. There’s not enough hours in the day.”
“I mean [the XFL] is Oliver Luck’s thing, but the reality is that Vince is gonna wanna have input and by virtue of wanting to have input you’re going to work hour and hours on it and he doesn’t have those hours.”
“He probably doesn’t have enough hours to run WWE anymore to be fair. To throw in the XFL as well it’s going to be a very tough period for him

Vince McMahon might have bitten off more than he can chew once again. We’ll have to wait to see what the XFL might bring to WWE or how it could affect the entire operation.
Only time will tell if the XFL’s rebirth could finally give Vince McMahon a chance to hand the reins of the WWE over to someone else. This could become a very difficult time for Vince McMahon if he continues to try and keep so many balls up in the air because nobody can juggle that kind of responsibility forever.

im worried about his health. the last few years his looks have aged fast. and he has abused steroids for a while and now hes probably on testosterone boosters so he has issues that can go bad fast.

im also worried that it wont be total control to the guy we all want running this ship
