Well, well, well, who expected Monday Night Raw to end with a title change? Thanks for joining Sportskeeda's coverage of Monday Night Raw. Be sure to join us tomorrow for SmackDown Live.

Rollins manages to level Sheamus outside the ring by throwing him into the steps. However, Cesaro manages to deal with Rollins, but he is caught by Jordan's new finisher when he returns to the ring! Jordan covers him, and we have new Champions!

The Bar even knock Jordan off the apron, leaving Rollins all by himself. The double team assault continues until Jordan recovers and decks Sheamus with a clothesline. Finally, Rollins makes the hot tag, and Jordan goes to town on Sheamus. However, the Irishman manages to kick out of a belly-to-belly suplex. He comes back with a clothesline and tags in Cesaro, who locks in the sharpshooter.

When we return from commercial, the heels are in control of Seth Rollins. Sheamus looks to unload the clubberin' blows on Rollins, but the Architect manages to fight back. Sheamus makes the tag to Cesaro before Rollins can seek help from Jordan.

She then claims to be responsible for the Women's Royal Rumble when she's interrupted by Asuka, who promises to win the first Women's Royal Rumble. Asuka lays Bliss out with a superkick! Is this your Raw Women's Championship match for WrestleMania?

Alexa Bliss is out to comment on the first-ever Women's Royal Rumble. She says that 2017 has been the year of Alexa Bliss and makes a cringe-worthy Star Wars reference.

After the match, he delivers multiple powerslams to the Miztourage as the crowd goes wild!

The Miztourage are in the middle of the ring, and they have a Secret Santa match. They don't know who their opponent will be. No prizes for guessing; it's Braun Strowman!

Jason Jordan is backstage with Seth Rollins and there appears to be tension between them. Jordan promises that he will be better than Dean Ambrose!

As Joe goes to work on the left elbow, Reigns fights back and peppers him with a series of blows in the corner. The official looks to intervene, but the Big Dog shoves him. That's it! Reigns has been disqualified for shoving the referee!

After the match, Reigns hits a Superman Punch and throws Joe shoulder first into the post before hitting the left shoulder with the steel steps. He follows this with a steel chair shot to the shoulder!

Joe thwarts an attempted spear with a kick and hits an uranage slam for 2. Joe locks in the Coquina Clutch in the middle of the ring, but Reigns manages to grab the rope. As the Big Dog rolls outside the ring, he eats a huge suicide dive, making it a point to sell the left elbow.

When we return from commercial, Joe has control of Reigns, but the Georgia Tech product manages to break loose with a Samoan Drop. Joe peppers the champion with a series of strikes and a suplex. Reigns manages to come back with a Superman Punch! This contest is now picking up steam.

Reigns hits a boot and looks for the Superman Punch, but the jab of Joe finds a home once again before we cut to commercial.

Roman Reigns (c) vs. Samoa Joe (Intercontinental Championship match)
Roman Reigns and Samoa Joe exchange a series of strikes before the Big Dog hits the driveby almost immediately. However, Joe greets him with a series of chops as he returns to the ring. Joe peppers Reigns with a series of strikes in the corner before he's levelled by a huge clothesline.

Renee Young is backstage with Roman Reigns who promises to leave Chicago with gold around his waist. He says tonight is about Dean Ambrose. Um... dude, watch the footage. He was injured after Seth Rollins' suicide dive.

Enzo Amore and Nia Jax are backstage when they notice they are standing under the mistletoe. Just as they're about the kiss, they're interrupted by Alexa Bliss who wants to talk about the first Women's Royal Rumble.

Gulak and Alexander kick off proceedings, but the pace picks up quickly. Tozawa and Ali take out the elves as we cut to commercial.

It looks like we have a 6-man tag team match on our hands. Enzo Amore is out in Santa Claus garb, and he cuts another cringe-worthy promo. Gulak and Daivari are dressed as elves.

We're backstage with Sheamus and Cesaro. The Irishman gives Cesaro a Dean Ambrose action figure, an authentic one with a missing arm! They also mock Seth Rollins and Jason Jordan, who Kurt Angle doesn't even want as his son.

Bray Wyatt then makes his way to the ring when he is ambushed by Matt Hardy, who proceeds to mock him with his nonsensical laugh.

Bray Wyatt cuts another promo about Hardy and Sister Abigail with a Christmas theme.

Curtis Axel and Bo Dallas run into Goldust backstage and hand him a copy of Santa's Little Helper, which stars The Miz. Goldust pawns it off on Titus O'Neil before frightening him, causing the University of Florida product to toss the DVD.

Curt Hawkins vs. Finn Balor
Hawkins, on a 146-match losing streak, is up against Balor. Say what you want, but it always feels like a big deal when the Irishman comes out. Vince's wrong on this one. Balor wins in no time with a Coup De Grace. This is loss no 147 in a row for Hawkins.
Finn Balor def. Curt Hawkins

Kane vs. Heath Slater
Despite Rhyno's repeated attempts to motivate his comrade, this is just another regulation squash match which ends with a chokeslam. After the match, Rhyno also gets a chokeslam.
Kane def. Heath Slater

Kane is out next, and he's going to face Heath Slater. This is part 1 of Rhyno's plan to "toughen-up" Heath Slater.

RAMPAIGE!!!! #RAW @RealPaigeWWE pic.twitter.com/e9GeuALa5B

Cole announces that Dean Ambrose's tricep injury could keep him out for 9 months. Renee Young is then backstage with Samoa Joe, who promises to defeat Roman Reigns and win the Intercontinental Championship.

At one point, Bayley hits a Belly to Bailey and has Paige dead to rights when Deville breaks up the pin. A huge scuffle ensues outside, but Bayley manages to throw Paige inside the ring. Bailey's attempt at an aerial manoeuvre is thwarted, allowing Paige to hit the Rampaige for the win.

The heels then isolate Banks and go to work on her torso. At one point, Deville has her in an impressive looking body scissors. Sasha Banks finally creates some separation and makes the tag to Bayley as Mandy Rose tags Page.

The match is followed by a cheesy, Stephanie McMahon-narrated video package about the Women's Royal Rumble. If you were an outsider whose only link to American culture was WWE, you'd think women's suffrage wasn't a thing there until a couple of years ago.

After another back forth, Itami downs Kendrick. He then calls for the GTS which he hits to pick up the win. No reaction from Chicago after watching its favourite son's finishing manoeuvre on Raw.
Itami def. Brian Kendrick

Hideo Itami vs. Brian Kendrick
Itami begins with a series of stiff strikes and follows up with a scoop slam that is followed by a huge kick to the shoulder. Gallagher momentarily distracts the Japanese Superstar which allows Kendrick to capitalise and gain the upper hand. The former Cruiserweight Champion hits a huge power slam and follows up with a headlock.
