WWE RAW: 2 Superstars who flopped and 3 who impressed -- Randy Orton stuns The Fiend; Huge betrayal teased on the show (November 30th, 2020)

#1 Impressed on WWE RAW: AJ Styles

Their chemistry is already off the charts

On this week's episode of WWE RAW, AJ Styles battled against Keith Lee and Riddle to become the No. 1 contender for Drew McIntyre's WWE Championship. While the match between the three talented Superstars wasn't as good as one would expect, it still managed to create enough hype around the new contender for the top title. All the three Superstars looked good inside the ring, with Lee and Riddle receiving ample opportunities to prove why they deserve to compete for the WWE Championship.

However, it was Styles who ended up picking a victory at the end of the match. The closing moments of the match saw Riddle hitting Lee with a well-calculated knee shot right to the face that took the latter out of the equation. But before Riddle could take a breather, Styles hit him with a Phenomenal Forearm to become the new No.1 Contender on WWE RAW.

AJ Styles will now face Drew McIntyre for the WWE Championship at TLC later this month. He also made his presence known in the main event when Drew McIntyre and Sheamus teamed up to take on The Miz and John Morrison.

Halfway into the match, Styles ran interference and attacked McIntyre, causing the match to end in a DQ. He then insisted that The Miz should cash in his MITB contract, but the latter didn't have enough time to do so as McIntyre recovered from the beatdown.

Ultimately, WWE RAW ended with both Styles and McIntyre aggressively challenging each other with words, thereby hyping up their upcoming title match.
