WWE Raw results, recap, grades: Sheamus blasts Keith Lee, Alexa Bliss creeps out Randy Orton

Drew McIntyre's team won the main event, but the celebration didn't last long

One night after the TLC pay-per-view, WWE returned to the ThunderDome for another edition of Raw. In the main event, Drew McIntyre led his team to victory as the WWE champion, along with Keith Lee and Sheamus, were able to outlast the team of AJ Styles, The Miz and John Morrison in a holiday street fight.

Throughout the night, all six men involved in the match had their issues. Lee and Sheamus, both friends of McIntyre, repeatedly expressed mutual distrust through the night. While they would ultimately come together to score the victory to end the show, Sheamus had the final word, delivering a Brogue Kick to Lee during the post-match celebration. A frustrated McIntyre lashed out, yelling at Sheamus as the show went off the air, but there could be trouble brewing for the champ.

CBS Sports was with you all night, bringing you highlights and recaps of all the action. Read on for everything you need to know from the TLC fallout edition of Raw.

A holiday street fight win still goes wrong

Styles was interviewed backstage, saying he was "hot" and "past his boiling point" when The Miz cashed in his Money in the Bank contract during Styles' match with Drew McIntyre at TLC, but wanted to hear what Miz had to say for himself ahead of teaming with him later in the night. Styles was then a guest on Miz TV, with Miz trying to apologize for taking advantage of the opportunity to win a world title. As Styles and Miz began arguing, Omos pointed out that John Morrison, not Miz, cashed in the Money in the Bank contract, leading Miz to demand he be given back the Money in the Bank contract. McIntyre, Keith Lee and Sheamus then interrupted, reading their own version of "The Nightmare before TLC," the poem Miz, Morrison and Styles had read the week before. A brawl broke out to end the segment, though not before Sheamus and Lee got into their own argument after some miscommunication when Styles dropkicked Lee into Sheamus.

Despite their earlier issues, Lee and Sheamus worked well together initially. Until, that is, they began patting each other on the back in increasingly violent ways, leading to Lee hitting Sheamus with the Grizzly Magnum double-chop. McIntyre was able to get his team back on the same page to continue dominating the match through pure physicality until Morrison was able to shove Sheamus from the top rope through a table set up on the outside. An eventual hot tag to McIntyre let the WWE champion run wild, including powerbombing Styles through a table after Styles used a kendo stick. As McIntyre was about to finish the match off, Sheamus tagged himself in, but before he could hit a Brogue Kick, Lee tagged himself in. Morrison was knocked off the apron into the arms of Omos, who put him through a table. Lee then hit Miz with a Sprit Bomb for the finish. As the victors celebrated, Sheamus turned on Lee, hitting him with a Brogue Kick to the dismay of McIntyre as the show went off the air.

The big negative to all of this was the idea that Miz may be able to regain the Money in the Bank contract since Morrison was the one to "cash it in." Money in the Bank as a concept has been running out of steam but has been a real dud this year, it should be left behind until next year -- if it even needs to exist next year. Still, there's a lot of fun with the six men involved in this angle, and any combination of McIntyre, Sheamus and Lee makes for some good big man brawling fun. Bring it on. The match itself was solid fun, even if the street fight rules didn't really come into play for the first half. Grade: B

Alexa Bliss confronts Randy Orton

Orton addressed lighting The Fiend on fire at TLC. He said that he had to light The Fiend on fire because The Fiend is no ordinary man. But, Orton said, he enjoyed every second of watching The Fiend burn. After pointing to the spot in the ring where The Fiend burned, Orton declared The Fiend to be no more, laughing as he said, "I am the evil son of a bitch who took him out." The lights in the arena went out at that point and Orton left the ring. When the lights returned, Alexa Bliss was on a swing set in the ring, saying she knows Orton is wondering where The Fiend is, before making jokes about The Fiend getting sunburned at the beach or eating at a barbeque restaurant. Bliss said The Fiend was "home" now, and if he ever returns, hopefully he'll come to Alexa's playground. But, she warned, if The Fiend does return, it will be like nothing Orton has ever seen before.

The story between Orton and The Fiend has been very hit or miss. While opinions were strongly divided over the TLC match and the whole "murder by fire" finish, the angle here -- really only possible through the lack of a truly live crowd -- was slick. Of course The Fiend isn't gone, but getting to a place of making that clear without having The Fiend show back up too soon after the whole immolation thing was important. Bliss' use was perfect here and helps build a bit more intrigue. Grade: B+

What else happened on WWE Raw?

• Shayna Baszler & Nia Jax def. Mandy Rose & Dana Brooke via submission after Baszler locked Brooke in the Kirifuda Clutch. Flair opened the show by talking up how she walked into the ThunderDome for the first time and walked out as a champion. She then said that she came back because she was asked by her friend, before welcoming Asuka to the ring. The champs were interrupted by Jax and Baszler, who declared their intention to hand out "season's beatings" only to then be interrupted by Rose and Brooke. This all led to Flair deciding that the other two teams should wrestle immediately. This led to a fairly lengthy match which was ultimately won when Baszler locked Dana Brooke in the Kirifuda Clutch. Brooke and Rose knocked Baszler and Jax from the ring apron following the match as the former champions taunted Flair and Asuka.
• Bobby Lashley & MVP def. Jeff Hardy & Riddle via submission when Lashley put Hardy in the Hurt Lock. The Hurt Business were celebrating Cedric Alexander and Shelton Benjamin's tag title win in the MVP Lounge when they were first interrupted by R-Truth and several others chasing the 24/7 champion and then by Hardy and Riddle, who cut a brief promo ahead of their match with MVP and Lashley later in the night. In the match, Hardy and Riddle immediately worked well together, hitting several team moves with impressive fluidity. Lashley was the force for his team, mostly dominating during his involvement. MVP provided just enough distraction in the end to set up Lashley to secure the Hurt Lock for the win.
• Angel Garza def. Drew Gulak via pinfall after a Wing Clipper. Garza was briefly interviewed backstage before the match and was able to make quick work of Gulak.
• T-Bar def. Ricochet via pinfall after hitting Feast Your Eyes. Ricochet, of course, had to deal with Retribution getting involved on the outside. After he took them out, T-Bar got the upper hand once again. Mustafa Ali began to yell at Ricochet, leading Ricochet to attack and giving T-Bar the opening to hit Feast Your Eyes for the win. Retribution once again demanded Ricochet join their ranks after the match.
• Jaxson Ryker def. Gran Metalik via pinfall after a powerbomb. This was a quick squash that saw Elias play a song while sitting on the turnbuckle during the match.
• Charlotte Flair & Asuka def. Peyton Royce & Lacey Evans via submission after Flair locked Royce in the Figure-Eight. Before the match, Royce and Evans were interviewed backstage when Royce took credit for getting the match made. They were doing well in the match until constant bickering and blind tagging gave an opening for Asuka to hit Royce with a German suplex and make the tag to Flair. Flair was able to take care of Royce after Asuka took out Evans on the outside.
