The first match for TLC: Tables, Ladders, and Chairs was finally announced last night. 'The Phenomenal One' AJ Styles will battle for the WWE Championship against Drew McIntyre.
Several other matches have continued to build in recent weeks, with The Fiend targeting his old friend Randy Orton while the Women's Tag Team Champions seen to have quite the issue with Lana. Both feuds seem to be heading towards their climax at TLC later this month.
While last night was a packed episode of RAW, reports suggest that it was another show that fell victim to several last-minute changes. These changes could be one of the reasons why there were so many botches and mistakes once again this week.

New Champs in WWE! More RIGHT HERE
#5. Does WWE allow a rope break in a No Disqualification match?
Jeff Hardy's feud with Elias seems to have finally ended last night when the two men collided in just the second Symphony of Destruction match. The first match was contested between Elias and Braun Strowman and seemingly gave the impression that it was another straight forward No Disqualification match.
Last night, there was interference from several WWE stars as they chased R-Truth for the 24/7 Championship. The use of weapons and lack of count-outs led to the impression that this was similar until the referee allowed a rope break.
Elias had Hardy down for the pin, and instead of kicking out, he reached for the rope, and the referee allowed it. Of course, there is no rope break in a NO DQ match in WWE since the referee can't DQ Elias if he doesn't break after the five count.
Hardy should have just kicked out rather than grabbing the rope, but it could have just been instinct from the veteran, who later took a scary bump on the steel steps but is reportedly fine.
#4. Is it the WWE Money in the Brank contract?
The Miz is now Mr. Money in the Bank, and it appears and has the opportunity to cash in on the WWE Champion at any point in the next few months. Interestingly The Miz has been teasing a cash-in for a number of weeks, and last night's episode of RAW was no different.
The Miz had Sheamus as a guest on Miz TV this week, and even though it could be argued that The A-Lister is one of the best Superstars on the mic in WWE at present, this segment seemingly didn't play to his strengths.
The former World Champion and his long-time friend John Morrison talked over each other several times throughout the segment. The Miz then tripped over his words and called the contract "Money in the Brank", without going back and correcting himself.
Sheamus obviously didn't agree with the plan that the two men had for his friend, WWE Champion Drew McIntyre, and the cash-in at the end of the night didn't exactly go to plan either.
#3. WWE star Slapjack isn't a fan of diving
Last night on RAW, Slapjack had his chance to shine when he took on Ricochet in a one-on-one match on WWE RAW with Mustafa Ali watching on from ringside. It appears that The One and Only has had issues with both RAW groups in 2020, and his luck didn't get any better last night as the rest of RETRIBUTION made their way to the ring to attack him when he finally got the upper hand.
Ricochet's response was to throw Slapjack into his own teammates, but this didn't go to plan since the star obviously isn't used to diving over ropes and almost fell before he was finally caught.
It appeared as though the move was happening in slow motion before Ricochet himself showed him how it was done just seconds later when he cleaned the house.
Sadly, the numbers game was too much for the WWE star since Ali later provided a distraction, and Slapjack picked up the victory before RETRIBUTION sent a message to Ricochet after the match.
#2. Lana held down the ropes a little bit too long for the WWE Women's Tag Team Champions
Lana has been feuding with Nia Jax and Shayna Baszler for several months now, and it appears that she will be teaming with Asuka against the Women's Tag Team Champions at WWE TLC in a few weeks time.
Last night on RAW, Lana was able to pick up the win for her team when she pinned Shayna Baszler, but the match itself had several mistakes throughout. In the opening exchanges, Lana ran into the match to pull down the rope for Nia Jax, but it's unclear if Jax forgot the spot or Lana went too early. Jax then spotted it and just ran through the ropes to the outside.
Lana was later getting the tag in the closing stages of the match as well, but luckily Asuka was able to cover well and still continue with what was planned so that this moment didn't look like as much of a mistake.
The current rumor is that these two teams will collide in a Tables match on December 20th at WWET TLC.
#1. Reckoning is unmasked on her WWE debut
After months of being seen as a footnote in RETRIBUTION and being left in the locker room while the male stars handled business, Reckoning was finally given her chance to shine last night on WWE RAW.
The former NXT star stepped up to Dana Brooke after she attacked Brooke a few weeks ago on RAW to cost her a place on the RAW Survivor Series team.
Brooke had targetted Mustafa Ali earlier in the night, and Reckoning was then sent out to make sure Brooke was dealt with.
In the opening moments of the match, Reckoning was thrown into the corner, and her mask came off, which seemed to be a massive moment since all of RETRIBUTION wrestle with their masks on.
The newcomer to WWE's main roster was then handed her first defeat when Ali tried to interfere, and Brooke was able to roll her up for the win.
After the match, it appeared as though Ali had kicked her out of the group. Is this the last we will see of Reckoning on WWE TV?
