RAW is live tonight from the American Airlines Center in Dallas, with the fallout from last night's TLC PPV, where a sole WWE World Heavyweight Champion was crowned.
Following the Tables, Ladders and Chairs main event, Randy Orton now stands alone as the top man in the WWE, throwing John Cena off the ladder face first into a table. Orton was endorsed and celebrated after the match by Triple H and Stephanie McMahon... and slightly less enthusiastically by Vince McMahon. With six weeks until the Royal Rumble, will there be any signs of a challenger for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship, and what will Cena's next move be?
Two men faced great odds in handicap matches last night. CM Punk was successful in his battle with The Shield, thanks to him blinding Roman Reigns, forcing Reigns to spear Dean Ambrose by accident. Daniel Bryan was not so successful, despite a great effort, he fell to the Wyatt Family and Bray Wyatt's Sister Abigail. Punk might use his big win to stake his claim as the first challenger to Orton, whilst The Shield have to sort out their differences. As for Bryan, what will be his next move in sorting out the Wyatt problem?
Three sets of champions retained their titles last night in Houston - Cody Rhodes and Goldust saw off three teams to hold on to their Tag Team Titles, Big E Langston gave Damien Sandow the Big Ending to retain his Intercontinental Title, and AJ Lee overcame recent backstage speculation and gossip to defeat Natalya and remain Divas Champion. Who's next for the Rhodes Brothers, Langston and Lee?
Brodus Clay claims that he's a "Main Event Player", yet his results aren't backing those claims up. Last night, both Tensai and the Funkadactyls had enough of his new bad attitude, and left him in the lurch to be pinned by R-Truth. What could be of interest, however, is Kane taking an interest in the Brodus Clay Brawling Buddy backstage - is something up there?
Also tonight - Kofi Kingston, The Miz, Fandango and Dolph Ziggler all meandering, and maybe some #BadNewsBarrett. The first of a long week of TV tapings for WWE begins tonight, 8/7c on USA.
