AOP got out. Charly Caruso approached them and asked why they beat up Kevin Owens last week. They answered in Punjabi and Albanian. Charly said she doesn\u2019t speak either of those languages, so could they translate. Akam said, \u201cCharly, you look lovely tonight.\u201d She made a face and they walked away.<\/p>\n<p>-The Raw opening theme played.<\/p>\n<p>-Pyro blasted in the arena as the camera panned the crowd. The graphic noted they were in Nashville, Tenn. Vic Joseph said Seth Rollins is ready to address the locker room and apologize.<\/p>\n<p>-Seth made his ring entrance. Lawler said he hoped Seth doesn\u2019t apologize. Samoa Joe said Seth had a lot to say about roster deficiencies, but it all happened on his watch. Lawler said what Seth said last week is what the Raw roster needed. Seth stood mid-ring and there was a very small \u201cBurn it down!\u201d chant. Maybe one or two guys. Seth said last week he addressed the entire roster at ringside. He said he will say it as plainly and frankly as he did last week. \u201cWe all sucked,\u201d he said. \u201cThat was a little bit too harsh, but I want you guys to understand it was coming from a good place, it was coming from my heart.\u201d He said this isn\u2019t just his job, it\u2019s also his life. He said everyone backstage are family, and they fight and struggle together. He said he wants to motivate everyone to get the absolute best out of each of them. \u201cBut I may have gone overboard,\u201d he said. He apologized to the fans and the locker room. He singled out Kevin Owens and asked him to kindly come to the ring so he can apologize to him face to face, man to man.<\/p>\n<p>Owens made his way to the ring. Joseph asked why Lawler is so against Seth apologizing. Lawler said what Seth said last week was what they needed to hear. KO said he smells something, and it reminds him of when the rodeo comes to Nashville. He asked him if the two closet members of his so-called family are AOP. Seth said he knows nothing about it. KO said he knows he\u2019s lying \u201cbecause your lips are moving.\u201d He said the smell he\u2019s referring to is \u201cbullshit.\u201d Seth promised and swore to him that wasn\u2019t true.<\/p>\n<p>AOP then walked out onto the stage to their entrance theme. Owens stepped back and looked a little concerned. They challenged Seth and KO to a two-on-two match later. Seth quickly accepted. KO smiled and said the way he sees it \u2013 one of three things can happen, and all of them result in the three of them beating the crap out of him. He asked them to beat him now if that\u2019s the ultimately plan. Seth said he tried. \u201cYou do you, I\u2019ll do me, you\u2019re on your own, man,\u201d he said. He dropped the mic and walked to the stage. He started at AOP. They stepped aside and Seth walked to the back. KO said Seth might be gone, but he\u2019d love to get a piece of AOP. He called them to come to the ring, \u201cpreferably one at a time.\u201d They turned to leave, instead. Owens said he wants a fight.<\/p><div id=\"pwtor-2295281793\" class=\"pwtor-content pwtor-entity-placement\"><div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280 __336x280\" id=\"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p>-They cut backstage to Lana and Bobby Lashley. Joseph wondered if they were going to accept KO\u2019s challenge.<\/p>\n<p><em>(Keller\u2019s Analysis: I loved that KO was smart to the plan of AOP and Seth, or at least obviously suspected it was the plan, and didn\u2019t \u201cget wrapped up in the moment\u201d and accept a suspicious challenge to team with Seth against AOP. I also loved KO asking AOP to come to the ring to \u201cfight preferably one at a time.\u201d He comes across as 30 IQ points higher than the average babyface who too often is easily manipulated by heels. Seth was good here at being transparently not-at-all sincere. I like this spot for AOP, too. They are different enough to really stand out as fresh in the mix with top acts like Seth and KO.)\u00a0<\/em>[c]<\/p>\n<p>-Lana came out and said the fans\u2019 beloved Rusev won\u2019t be there tonight because she has filed a restraining order against him in the state of Tennessee. She said Rusev is a danger to all of them and all of society. She said he\u2019ll go to jail for a very long time if he shows up today. KO said he\u2019s never known anyone to talk so much but say nothing. He said she might be beautiful on the outside, but on the inside, she\u2019s repulsive. She said KO is a \u201cbasic everyday man\u201d and a \u201ccandy eater, pizza eater.\u201d She said her hot boyfriend is the only man she\u2019s ever been with her entire life and he will finish KO. \u201cLet\u2019s get to it!\u201d KO said.<\/p>\n<p><strong>(1) KEVIN OWENS vs. BOBBY LASHLEY (w\/Lana)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Lashley scored with an early spinebuster. Owens tripped Lashley on the ring apron, then landed a quick frog splash on the floor. They cut to an early break. [c]<\/p>\n<p>Back from the break, KO crotch chopped before charging with a cannonball in the corner for a near fall on Lashley. There were two plain-clothed officers at ringside protecting Lana from Rusev. Lashley avoided an Owens moonsault. A few minutes later Lashley set up a full nelson, but Owens elbowed out of it and then delivered a Pop-Up Powerbomb. Both were down and slow to get up. AOP then marched to the ring and attacked KO and dragged him to the back.<\/p>\n<p>WINNER: KO via DQ in 8:00.<\/p>\n<p>-An NXT commercial aired with a clip of Finn Balor attacking Adam Cole at the end of last week\u2019s show.<\/p><div id=\"pwtor-1006682959\" class=\"pwtor-content-1 pwtor-entity-placement\"><!-- Tag ID: pwtorchcom_test_300x600 -->\r\n<div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280 __300x600\" id=\"pwtorchcom_test_300x600\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x600\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x600\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p>-Caruso asked Lashley in the ring if she knows about AOP\u2019s attack on KO. Lashley said he doesn\u2019t know about that, all he knows about is that he was about to beat KO. He said he cares about Lana\u2019s welfare. Lana said she\u2019s tired of everyone booing her. Rusev entered the ring and attacked Lashley with a machka kick. Lana yelled for help. The plain-clothed police slowly entered the ring. Rusev ran away through the crowd. Fans chanted \u201cRusev Day!\u201d although they couldn\u2019t quite get in sync. Lashley yelled at the police. One of the officers said he\u2019s a WWE fan and in the State of Tennessee they do things differently. Lashley\u00a0bumped shoulders with the cop as he walked past him. They handcuffed Lashley and read him his rights as a result. Lana chewed out the officer and slapped him, then realized what she did and apologized. They handcuffed Lana and walked both to the back.<em>\u00a0[c]<\/em><\/p>\n<p>-They replayed what happened before the break, then cut backstage to Lana and Lashley being put in the back of an unmarked squad car. She said Rusev should be arrested because \u201che broke all of the laws.\u201d They showed R-Truth and the Street Profits watching and making incredulous faces.<\/p>\n<p><strong>(2) DREW MCINTYRE vs. AKIRA TOZAWA<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Lawler said Tozawa\u2019s favorite pastime is climbing tall people. Drew overpowered Tozawa, then dropped to his knees to present a more fair fight. He told Tozawa to leave now or he\u2019ll beat his ass. He said this is his one chance. Tozawa turned to apparently leave, but then turned back and attacked. Tozawa dove at Drew on the floor, but Drew made a quick comeback and flapjacked Tozawa onto the mat. He lifted him onto his shoulders and threw him through the ropes back into the ring. Drew then grounded Tozawa with a chinlock. Tozawa showed some signs of life, but Drew cut him off with a sudden Claymore Kick for the win.<\/p>\n<p>WINNER: Drew in 4:00.<\/p>\n<p><em>(Keller\u2019s Analysis: Good way for Drew to come across as dominant and arrogant.)<\/em><\/p>\n<p>-Drew said afterward that was fun. He said some people like to issue a challenge in a cryptic way because they\u2019re a bunch of bloody cowards. He said he\u2019s going to be direct about it. \u201cRandy Orton, I\u2019ve got a problem with you, so bring yourself to this ring right now so we can bloody talk about.\u201d They cut to a break before Orton could answer. [c]<\/p>\n<p>-A Smackdown commercial teased that they\u2019d find out what happened to Daniel Bryan.<\/p>\n<p>-Drew was still in the ring after the break. He called for Orton to come out there again. He called for footage to air. A clip aired from last Monday of Drew and Orton getting into it, including an eye poke. Drew said he\u2019d describe what he just watched in three words: \u201cStupid, stupid, stupid!\u201d He called Orton to the ring again. Orton came out this time to his music. Drew asked Orton how his chest is feeling and asked if the noise from the chops drowned out the voices in his head. Orton laughed at his question and turned to leave. Drew told him to face him when he\u2019s talking to him and not to disrespect him. Drew said his problem with him is that he walks around like he owns the place and always has. He insisted Orton look at him.<\/p>\n<p>Orton stared at him. Drew said he doesn\u2019t have the right to speak to him like he\u2019s a damn child. He said he was the most ferocious man in WWE in the past, but in 2019, the only thing he\u2019s ferocious at is posting on social media. Orton grinded his teeth a little. Drew said even the people of Nashville can understand what he\u2019s about to tell him. \u201cPast, future, RKO Out of Nowhere out, Claymore Out of Nowhere in.\u201d Orton said there\u2019s not an Orton-McIntyre problem, that\u2019s a McIntyre-Reality problem. He said he does what he wants when he wants to because he has earned the right to do so. He said Drew, on the other hand, hasn\u2019t earned a damn thing. He said they\u2019re good and cool, but if Drew thinks they still have a problem, let\u2019s solve it right now. They were interrupted by The O.C.<\/p>\n<h3>[HOUR TWO]<\/h3>\n<p>Luke Gallows said Orton is an unapologetic jerk who ruins people\u2019s lives. Orton nodded proudly. Karl Anderson said he ruined Uncle Allen\u2019s life. He said A.J. Styles lost the U.S. Title because of him. Anderson asked if he\u2019s okay. Styles said he\u2019s not. He said he\u2019d feel better if he got his hands on Orton. He said he doesn\u2019t care what kind of match it is, he just wants to get his hands on Orton. Drew said this doesn\u2019t seem like a Drew problem, it seems more like an Orton\/O.C. problem, \u201cso I bid you adieu.\u201d He left. Drew waved bye-bye. Orton held his ground in the ring as The O.C. approached the ring from three sides. When they entered, Orton tried to fight tall three at once. They swarmed and overwhelmed him, though. Ricochet made the save, darting to the ring. He was overwhelmed quickly, though. Next, Humberto Carrillo ran out. He was beat down three-on-two, also. Then Rey Mysterio ran out. He took Styles out of the ring with a head scissors. He cleared the ring of Gallows and Anderson next, with some help from Ricochet. Rey, Ricochet, and Carrillo celebrated in the ring as Orton stood at ringside. They cut to a break.<\/p>\n<p><em>(Keller\u2019s Analysis: I\u2019m more entertained by Orton now than in years. He seems more at ease and more himself and less scripted-sounding than in a while. This was a good performance from both Orton and McIntyre on the mic. Interesting to hear Drew sounding a bit like Kenny Omega at the end there.)\u00a0<\/em>[c]<\/p>\n<p>-They showed postcard shots of Nashville. Then they showed race car drivers Kyle Busch and Michael Waltrip at ringside.<\/p>\n<p>-They went backstage to Orton who was nursing his sore shoulder. Rey, Carrillo, and Ricochet asked if he was okay. Orton said he appreciates the assistance, but he didn\u2019t need it. He walked away.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3>Check out the latest episode of &#8220;Acknowledging WWE&#8221; with Javier Machado, part of the PWTorch Dailycast line-up: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.spreaker.com\/episode\/acknowledging-wwe-machado-machado-discuss-cody-and-the-winged-eagle-women-s-us-title-final-diy-turn-heel-more--63296674\">CLICK HERE<\/a> to stream (or search \u201cpwtorch\u201d on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or any other iOS or Android app to subscribe free)<\/h3>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/widget.spreaker.com\/player?episode_id=63296674&amp;theme=light&amp;playlist=false&amp;playlist-continuous=false&amp;chapters-image=true&amp;episode_image_position=right&amp;hide-logo=false&amp;hide-likes=false&amp;hide-comments=false&amp;hide-sharing=false&amp;hide-download=true\" width=\"100%\" height=\"200px\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>(3) TONY NESE vs. ALEISTER BLACK<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>They showed Buddy Murphy watching backstage on a monitor. Nese bailed out to the floor. Black teased a dive, but then backflipped and sat mid-ring. Joe said Black \u201ceven sits down intensely.\u201d Joseph said Nese doesn\u2019t know what to make of Black. Nese struck Black in the throat to take control, then raked his eyes. Black came back with the Black Mass kick for the win.<\/p>\n<p>WINNER: Black in 4:00.<\/p>\n<p>-Charly asked Murphy if he regrets knocking on Black\u2019s door. He said Black takes himself way too seriously and he\u2019s a hot-head, whereas he\u2019s calm, cool, and collected. He told Black to calm down. He said if he doesn\u2019t want to calm down, he\u2019ll be the one to calm him down.<\/p>\n<p>-Andrade and Zelina Vega made their ring entrance. [c]<\/p>\n<p><strong>(4) ANDRADE (w\/Zelina Vega) vs. ERIC YOUNG<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Young is a former TNA World Hvt. Champion, by the way. Joe said Young has had success everywhere he\u2019s gone and is a journeyman, and a win against Andrade would make a real statement. Lawler said he\u2019s wrestling in front of his hometown crowd. When Andrade set up a move on the top rope, Young punched him to the mat and landed a flying elbow drop for a two count. Andrade made a comeback and scored a two count after a low dropkick. Young rallied again. Andrade ultimately finished Young with a hammerlock DDT for the win.<\/p>\n<p>WINNER: Andrade in 5:00.<\/p>\n<p><em>(Keller\u2019s Analysis: It\u2019s kind of sad watching Young, who has so much personality, be as plain and bland as anyone in WWE today. He\u2019s a serviceable jobber, but you\u2019d never know watching him now how much TNA for years leaned on his personality to fill a lot of TV time effectively. That said, glad to see enhancement matches on Raw to give solid wins to top tier pushed talent like Drew and Andrade.)<\/em><\/p>\n<p>-R-Truth ran to the ring with his 24\/7 Title belt and hid in the front row with the race car drivers. Cedric Alexander, Titus O\u2019Neal, Zack Ryder, Curt Hawkins, and Mojo Rawley ran to ringside. The drivers said Truth went to the back. Truth thanked them and hugged Busch.\u00a0Waltrip unzipped his jacket and revealed a referee shirt. Busch then rolled up Truth. Waltrip made the three count. Busch celebrated on his way to the back with the 24\/7 Title belt. Truth angrily marched to the back. [c]<\/p>\n<p>-A Cyber Monday commercial aired with the Street Profits. \u00a0The No Way Jose conga line danced by them. Angelo said, \u201cTis the season to want some smoke.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>-They replayed the angle with KO, Seth, and The O.C. earlier.<\/p>\n<p>-Charly caught up with Seth who was leaving the arena with his rolling luggage. She said earlier he said everybody was part of his family, so why wouldn\u2019t he help KO when he was attacked by AOP. Seth asked what she\u2019s even talking about. He said he tried. Seth said KO didn\u2019t want his help. He got worked up, then apologized to Charly. Charly said a lot of people are questioning the sincerity of his apology. He asked, \u201cWhat do you want from me?\u201d Seth said it seems like a no-win situation for him. He said no matter what he says or does, he\u2019s the bad guy and it\u2019s always his fault. He asked what\u2019s the point. He said everyone is a critic, but not everyone has the guts to be a leader.<\/p>\n<p>-They went to the announcers on camera who reacted to Seth briefly, then pivoted to a video feature on Rey Mysterio becoming U.S. Champion last week.<\/p>\n<p>-Erick Rowan spoke to his mystery pet in the cage who is apparently wearing a Go Pro camera. He said he wouldn\u2019t know what to do if anything happened to him. [c]<\/p>\n<p><strong>(5) NO WAY JOE vs. ERICK ROWAN<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Joe said he can\u2019t believe No Way Jose finds so many people each week in every city with so little rhythm. Joe said he gives him credit for celebrating now, because after the match he won\u2019t have anything to celebrate. Rowan carried the cage to the ring with a burlap tarp over it. A member of the Conga Line tried to peek under the tarp. Rowan attacked him and a couple other conga line members. No Way Jose made a hapless attempt at a save. The rest of the conga line fled to the back. He yelled at Jose to tell his friends not to touch his stuff. Rowan had Jose pinned, but lifted his shoulders before the three count and gave him a second claw slam. Then he allowed the three count. Joseph asked Joe if he had any insight on what\u2019s under the burlap covering.<\/p>\n<p>WINNER: Rowan in 2:00.<\/p>\n<p>-They showed the Kabuki Warriors backstage warming up.<\/p>\n<p>-A commercial aired for WWE Network documentary Trish Stratus. [c]<\/p>\n<p>-Joseph plugged that Seth would join Renee Young and Booker T on \u201cWWE Backstage\u201d tomorrow night.<\/p>\n<p>-Sarah Schreiber interviewed Rowan backstage. She said everyone is wondering what\u2019s in the cage. She asked him about what\u2019s in the cage. He glared at her and walked away.<\/p>\n<h3>[HOUR THREE]<\/h3>\n<p><strong>(6) CHARLOTTE vs. ASUKA &amp; KAIRI SANE<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Charlotte came out first. (I still think it\u2019s so stupid referees hold the ropes open for Charlotte, whom they\u2019re about to have authority over as a rule enforcer during her match.) Caruso asked Asuka about facing Charlotte, who broke her streak. Asuka spoke obnoxiously in Japanese as Kairi laughed. They jumped Charlotte two-on-one before the bell. Kairi used her umbrella as a weapon. The ref scolded them and then checked on Charlotte. He called for the bell. It began with Asuka vs. Charlotte, but a quick tag by Asuka to Kairi. Lawler said he doesn\u2019t understand Charlotte\u2019s decision to accept this match. Charlotte managed to in some offense, but Kairi yanked Charlotte off the ring apron. Charlotte awkwardly reversed Kairi into the ringside barricade. Asuka then blindsided her with a kick off the ring apron. Charlotte dove onto both opponents at ringside. She threw Asuka back into the ring, then fended off Kairi. Joseph asked if Charlotte can overcome the odds. [c]<\/p>\n<p>Lawler said during the break, Charlotte didn\u2019t get in one offensive move. She made a comeback by catching Kairi with a boot, then kicking Asuka. She put Kairi next to Asuka and then moonsaulted both of them. They lifted their knees. Charlotte blocked a Kairi dropkick and grabbed her legs and rolled her into a camel clutch. Asuka round kicked Charlotte in the head to break it. Kairi then tagged in Asuka who then hit Charlotte with a missile dropkick off the top rope. Charlotte set up a figure-four on Asuka, but Asuka turned it into a triangle armbar. Charlotte lifted Asuka and powerbombed herself free. Kairi then attacked Charlotte. Kairi climbed to the top rope to execute an Insane Elbow, but Charlotte got up and blocked it. She set up a superplex, but Asuka tagged herself in and worked with Kairi to drop Charlotte on the mat. Kairi then landed a double-stomp onto Charlotte\u2019s back. Asuka made the cover for a two count. Seconds later, Charlotte double-speared them and scored a near fall on Asuka. Charlotte set up a figure-four on Asuka, but when Kairi looked like she was going to interfere, Charlotte fended her off. Then Charlotte put the figure-four on Asuka. She bridged into the Figure-Eight, but Asuka had tagged out. Kairi then landed an Insane Elbow for the win.<\/p>\n<p>WINNERS: Asuka &amp; Sane in 15:00.<\/p>\n<p><em>(Keller\u2019s Analysis: I wasn\u2019t a fan at all of having Charlotte last 15 minutes with both Asuka and Kairi. It really diminished both Asuka and Kairi that it took them that long to win, and that Charlotte late in the match still had opportunities to win. I don\u2019t get the point of this at all. Some good action, and some awkward moments too.)<\/em><\/p>\n<p>-They showed the Viking Raiders making cartoon faces backstage with fog and red lighting. [c]<\/p>\n<p>-Schreiber asked Charlotte backstage if she regrets challenging the Kabuki Warriors given the result of the match. Charlotte said no and walked away.<\/p>\n<p><em>(Keller\u2019s Analysis: Is that Charlotte\u2019s first interview where she didn\u2019t spew a clich\u00e9 about being queen and ending with \u201cWooo!\u201d)<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>(7) THE VIKING RAIDERS vs. MARK STERLING &amp; MITCHELL LYONS<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>One of the Raiders\u2019 opponents tried to run away seconds into the match, but they caught him, clotheslined him, and slammed him. Back in the ring, the Raiders attacked the other guy and finished him quickly with the Viking Experience.<\/p>\n<p>WINNERS: Raiders in 2:00.<\/p>\n<p><em>(Keller\u2019s Analysis: Really liking WWE\u2019s use of squash matches to establish the overpowering strength and signature moves of certain pushed acts. It\u2019ll make the more competitive match-ups seem more special when they\u2019re not burning through them on all of the weekly TV time they have to fill.)<\/em><\/p>\n<p>-Joseph plugged the six-man tag main event.<\/p>\n<p>-Backstage Ricochet told Rey and Carrillo that he wants to prove superheroes can be real. He said that will have to be shoved to the sidelines with their match because it\u2019s all about being a team who shuts up The O.C. Carrillo talked about what an honor it is to team with Rey. Rey said the real honor is teaming with wrestlers who are the future of the sport. Rey said they\u2019ll shut then down. \u201cGet ready for the future and the legend,\u201d he said. [c]<\/p>\n<p>-They replayed the Lashley\/Lana arrest angle from earlier after the run-in from Rusev. Lawler said he\u2019s almost ashamed to be from Tennessee after witnessing that earlier.<\/p>\n<p>-After the babyface ring entrances one at a time, they aired a backstage promo from The O.C. who said they are the only club that matters. They cut to a break before the match began. [c]<\/p>\n<p><strong>(8) REY MYSTERIO &amp; HUMBERT CARRILLO &amp; RICOCHET vs. THE O.C. (A.J. Styles &amp; Luke Gallows &amp; Karl Anderson)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The O.C. dominated the early minutes. Rey got a hot-tag and rallied. When he went for a 619 on Styles, Anderson blocked it and rammed Rey back-first into the ringside barricade and then tossed him into the ringpost. Joseph asked if he can bounce back as they cut to a break. [c]<\/p>\n<p>The O.C. controlled Rey for a while until he hot-tagged Ricochet. Ricochet and Styles went back and forth with near falls. Anderson broke up a Ricochet cover after a Recoil. Rey then gave Anderson a 619. Gallows kicked Rey off the ring apron. Carrillo then superkicked Gallows and then flip dove onto Gallows at ringside. \u201cThis is what Monday Night Raw is all about!\u201d exclaimed Joseph. Styles set up a Styles Clash on Ricochet, but Ricochet countered with a roll-up for a near fall. Styles then landed Pel\u00e9 kick. Styles set up Ricochet for a top rope move. Ricochet slipped free, but then had to fend off Anderson. He moonsaulted onto him on the floor. He went back after Styles with a springboard huracanrana attempt, but Styles caught him and delivered a Styles Clash for the 1-2-3.<\/p>\n<p>WINNERS: The O.C. in 16:00.<\/p>\n<p><em>(Keller\u2019s Analysis: Good match throughout, with an especially strong final few minutes.)<\/em><\/p>\n<p>-Randy snuck in behind Styles as he celebrated and gave him an RKO.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>RECOMMENDED NEXT: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/2024\/11\/29\/20-yrs-ago-wwe-smackdown-report-11-25-2004-radicans-report-on-jbl-orlando-jordan-vs-eddie-guerrero-booker-t-plus-rey-dupree-miz-daniel-puder-carlito-rvd-angle\/\">20 YRS AGO \u2013 WWE SMACKDOWN REPORT (11-25-2004): Radican\u2019s report on JBL &amp; Orlando Jordan vs. Eddie Guerrero &amp; Booker T, plus Rey, Dupree, Miz, Daniel Puder, Carlito, RVD, Angle<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>OR CHECK THIS OUT AT PROWRESTLING.NET: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/prowrestling.net\/site\/2024\/11\/26\/boxer-ricky-hatton-looks-back-on-being-a-guest-gm-on-wwe-raw-says-he-punched-a-wrestler-harder-than-he-should-have\/\">Boxer Ricky Hatton looks back on being a guest GM on WWE Raw, says he punched a wrestler harder than he should have<\/a><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Wade Keller Post-show - WWE Raw w\/cohost Tej Narayanan\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/LpeTQOTuazU?start=3470&#038;feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<div class=\"pwtor-end-article-groups pwtor-entity-placement\" id=\"pwtor-3789900731\"><div id=\"pwtor-1439627563\"><div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280\" id=\"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\nTHANK YOU FOR VISITING<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>The following report originally published 5 years ago this week here at PWTorch.com\u2026 KELLER\u2019S WWE RAW REPORT DECEMBER 2, 2019 NASHVILLE, TENN.
