I expect a two fold night for Dmg Cntrl. They get one over on Becky but then get humiliated by legends later in the night. And then Becky gets her revenge on them in the rumble. My guess is that Shirai and Kai will interfere in the Steel Cage match and that Yim and Belair will then run down to help Becky, maybe even setting up a three-on-three match for next week or the Rumble. Either that or they do it your way and Belair's only appearance will be to either say something about Bliss or something more physical will happen between them, Belair isn't feuding with Damage CTRL anymore and is now feuding with Alexa so I don't see why she would get involved. Yim and Candice LeRae coming to Becky's aid sounds much more likely since it seems like they are setting them up as the next tag title contenders.

Fair enough, I was just thinking on the top of my head especially since Belair teamed up with Lynch at a house show but yeah Candice sounds more likely since Belair's feuding with Bliss.

Although I doubt Candice and Yim are going to win the tag titles either. Neither woman is very over, and in the case of Candice, is completely ice cold. The only logic I could see to them getting the tag titles is to drop them to Shayna and Ronda which I hope not. Ronda needs to go away forever, especially since she seems to have taken her ball and went home again, along with burying the SD Women's Title on one of her livestreams apparently.

Theory v Lashley is now a Lots Of Legalised Run-Ins/No DQ match. So who's costing Lashley the match, AOP or Brock? <checks notes> Keanu Reeves. Hell yeah that’s a good surprise…<checks notes more closely> Kona Reeves.

I'd be surprised if Yim/Le Rae win the titles at the moment, maybe in February/March or at Mania maybe but not January time. Candice hasn't had much to work with I think on RAW so hopefully she'll get some decent match time soon etc.

Raw 25 was one of the worst Raws ever. The segments/matches already announced so far should be enough to make this one better but that's not exactly a high bar to clear. Did they do a special episode for the 20th anniversary? I have no memory of that. I remember the 15th anniversary being a good show though. And they held that one in December which I think was smart. Doing it in January is a bit awkward because you've got this big show with all the legends but you're also so close to the Rumble and you want to focus on building to that. The 20th anniversary did not have a lot of excitement because of the hype for the 1000th episode months before.

I could actually see them winning them just simply because if not them then who else? If Ronda is sticking around then her and Shaya would definitely be a possibility but I kind of get the feeling she's done with her not being on TV since losing to Charlotte and them having to hastily insert Sonya Deville who has won like two matches in about as many years into the Smackdown title feud with Charlotte. They gave Raquel and Aliyah a title reign so it's not like the bar has been set that high when it comes to who they put the belts on.

So like all of Damage Ctrl's title challengers, I'm expecting a brief feud and then Mia & Candice going their separate ways after the title match, just like Alexa/Asuka, Tegan/Liv and Raquel/Shotzi.

Would not surprise me if we get swerved with Nikki and that she is actually gonna become Candices ally and not attack her like everyone is expecting. Like Candice and Mia lose the tag title match they will inevitably get...Mia turns on Candice and aligns with IYO and Dakota and Nikki comes to Candices rescue.

Not for long since I think IYO and Dakota are gonna turn on Bayley here soon because she keeps throwing them under the bus in her promos...talking about how she does not need them etc.
