“Then. Now. Forever.” The WWE video leads us into the show.

A video kicks off the show highlighting Big E cashing in Money in the Bank last week and becoming the WWE Champion.

The New Day make their way to the ring to a huge reception. WWE Champion Big E leads Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods down to the ring.

WWE Champion Big E takes the microphone, and the crowd chants, “You deserve it.” Big E says they are the best. It may not be November 25, but he is thankful. Big E is thankful for those that chanted “New Day rocks,” as well as “New Day sucks.” He is also grateful for all those that lost their minds when he became the new WWE Champion. Big E is grateful for those below the heavens and one incredible friend above. Big E looks up, and the crowd chants, “Brodie.” Big E looks very emotional as he remembers his friend, the late great “Brodie Lee” Jon Huber.

Tonight, the celebration will be cut a little short because they’ve got town business. That business is with the SmackDown Tag Team Champions The Usos and their cousin, the Tribal Chief, the Head of the Table, Roman Reigns. Raw is their show, and they’ll send the Bloodline packing. Do you know why? Because… the crowd chants, “New Day Rocks!”

The Bloodline makes its way to the ring. WWE Champion Roman Reigns is flanked by Paul Heyman and the SmackDown Tag Team Champions, The Usos. This huge 6-Man Tag Team Match is next.
