Sheamus said that nobody is as physical as them. Drew said that he had goosebumps while saying that he wants that match while everybody in the back will be uncomfortable because of how physical it will be. Sheamus said that they are now one week away from making their dream a reality for a WWE Championship match. Drew noted he has known Sheamus for 15 years and Sheamus talked about how this was their dream. Sheamus said that he promised Drew that he would not put a finger on Keith Lee and he didn’t, but after they won the match, the rest of it was fair game. Sheamus showed up in his ring gear with Drew saying he knew he would be out there. Drew talked about how he’ll defend the WWE Title next week on Legends Raw against either Keith Lee or Sheamus. Drew spoke right into the camera saying that he became the fans’ chosen one and now he says “thank you” for that. Drew thanked the fans for motivating him every single week. Drew recapped his year winning the Royal Rumble, beating Brock Lesnar to win the WWE Title and then regaining the WWE Title from Randy Orton. He also said “yeah yeah yeah” as he welcomed us to Raw. The last Raw of the year begins with the entrance of a man that made 2020 his year in WWE as he walked down to the ring with the WWE Championship around his waist for a promo.ĭrew: “It’s Monday, you know what that means.” That’s a tribute to Luke Harper because Luke/Jon Huber used to tweet it every day of the week for years. Also, Randy Orton is a guest on Alexa’s Playground talk show. The Raw announce team of Tom Phillips, Byron Saxton and Samoa Joe welcomed us to the show with a rundown of what’s coming up on the show including Keith Lee vs. It was reported by PWInsider this morning that numerous WWE talents and sources told them that “tributes to Huber were taped yesterday prior to Raw going on the air.” That means we could see a tribute video for Luke Harper on NXT or Smackdown later this week.
I think Jon Huber meant a lot to the WWE roster because he worked for there for nearly a decade. The show began with a graphic “In Memory of Jon Huber ‘Luke Harper’ 1979-2020.” The Raw intro video aired after that.Īnalysis: I expected the graphic and it’s nice to see that.
