WWE RAW Results, Live Updates, Highlights & Commentary online from Monday Night RAW after TLC 2019 (16th December 2019)

Anyway, that's all from me tonight, my friends. Thank you once again for joining me. I'll be back in this very ring on Wednesday to cover NXT, so I hope you'll join me for that - that is, if you aren't following our coverage of AEW Dynamite instead. Either way, you're in for a good time.

Have a great night, everybody!

WWE RAW Results December 16th, 2019: Winners, Grades, Video Highlights for latest Monday Night RAW

Randy Orton defeats AJ Styles
Asuka defeats Deonna Perazzo
Humberto Carrillo... I think... wins the US Championship #1 contender match via DQ... maybe
Erick Rowan defeats Alternative Music Guy From The 1990s
The O.C. defeats the Viking Raiders

I'll be right back with your match results and my closing statements in just a 'mo.

Raw goes off the air with Everwood.... I mean 7th Heaven... I mean Buffy the Vampire Slay.... OK.... with the OC standing tall.

Gallows and Anderson hits the ring to attack Orton, but the Viking Raiders come to his rescue.

It does not end well.

Orton pulls out an RKO and gets the win!

RESULT: Randy Orton defeats AJ Styles

Orton's going for a superplex, which doesn't require any stress on the knee at all, I'm sure - but Orton slips away.

I like how they still try to shoehorn that whole "Randy hears voices" stuff, even now.

Orton blocks a kick and hits Styles with his inverted backbreak and, as expected, it also hurts his knee.

Orton with his trademark powerslam on Styles, but it still causes stress to his injured knee.

A desperate Orton pokes Styles right in the eye, giving him a moment to breathe. It's enough to get AJ to the mat.

We're back and AJ is still BEATING UP JOHN CE... er... RANDY ORTON!

With Orton holding himself up against the security wall outside the ring, AJ circles the ring like the Enterprise circling Jupiter to use the planet's gravity to increase speed (I've always wanted to use that metaphor) and charges in, clipping Orton's knee hard.

Anyway, let's go to a commercial while I think about what I've done.

Orton finally gets to the bottom rope.

After a struggle, AJ manages to get the Calf Crusher on Orton. Randy is selling it like a pro.

As a wrestling fan who started watching in the 1980s, it's always funny to me whenever Orton does the Garvin Stomp on his opponent,

The bell rings and Styles charges right at Orton. Orton dodges.

Styles reverses and tosses Orton into another corner but Orton NEARLY GETS THE RKO. SO CLOSE.

Yes, we are in for a PHENOMENAL #RAW main event.

CHALLENGE ACCEPTED.@reymysterio and @WWERollins will do battle for the first time EVER next week on #RAW...for the #USTitle! pic.twitter.com/7KFiSuY00e

AJ Styles weighs 218 lbs. according to WWE.

Do whatever you want with that information.

Rey is backstage, looking pretty good for a guy who just got beat up.

Anyway, he accepts Seth Rollins's challenge for next week on Raw.

Oh, and let's be honest, that hypothetical squirrel would totally destroy me in a match. I would have no chance.

"It's a main event anywhere in the world!"

But especially in Des Moines. Me vs a squirrel would be a main event there.

Ha! I kid my old hometown. I hope Mike Stroeh is reading this.

It's a main event anywhere in the world, and it's NEXT.

Did you guys ever play that WWE Immortals mobile fighting game? There was a version of Randy in that game where he was wearing that vest and looking all snake-like and it was really cool and I liked playing that game, it's a shame they stopped supporting it and oh hey it's a commercial.

Time for our main event as Randy Orton's music fires up and The Viper makes his way to the ring.

Another family gets a seat upgrade but this time, it doesn't involve free chicken.

"I need to prove something to myself."@BeckyLynchWWE still has a debt to collect, and her name is @WWEAsuka. #RAW pic.twitter.com/q8YbpHfKgR

And now we move on to Raw Women's Champion Becky Lynch being interviewed.

She tells Charly Caruso that over the last few months, she hasn't "been herself."

And Asuka gets the submission win, but not after a great showing by Purrazo.

My apologies, guys. Had a bit of an internet/real life stuff hiccup.

Right now, Asuka (with someone who was supposedly Kairi Sane) is taking on Deonna Purrazo of NXT.

Asuka came out to the ring with what was supposed to be Kairi Saine, but Kairi strategically twirled an umbrella in front of her face and the camera switched to a distant view. Given her reported injury from last night, I don’t think that was Kairi Sane. #WWERAW

Seth informs Rey that he's merciful and he's gonna let Rey go. Then he hits Rey with a Stomp.

"You know me better than that, John. I'm gonna kill him anyway!"

Seth asks Rey why he was attacking AOP, that they just came down to the ring to give him his pipe back.

AOP is beating up Rey Mysterio.

Humberto is being carted off to the back in a stretcher, and Rollins and his buddies are coming to the ring... carrying Rey's steel pipe.

What happens when you have #ElÍdolo @AndradeCienWWE and @Zelina_VegaWWE's full attention? 👇👇👇 pic.twitter.com/EBCHhsRZMn

RESULT: hell if I know.

Andrade is leaving through the crowd and... wait... who won the match?

Andrade pulls the safety mats away from the floor and hits his Hammerlock DDT finisher onto Humberto right onto the concrete.

And that brings Rey Mysterio out.

We're down to the FINAL TWO in this #GauntletMatch, and @AndradeCienWWE is getting himself a head-start! #RAW pic.twitter.com/U3v73qA6j6
