– Chris Jericho is in the ring to open up RAW with The Highlight Reel. Jericho immediately introduces his guest — his best friend, Kevin Owens. Owens rips on the American Thanksgiving and people fighting at Black Friday sales. Owens says they are superior because they’re Canadian, and that their Thanksgiving is on October because they’re ahead of the curve. Owens and Jericho talk about what they’re thankful for, and mention being thankful that Seth Rollins isn’t there tonight. With that, Roman Reigns is out next to interrupt and says that Owens is a joke of a champion. Reigns says that Owens is only the Universal Champion because of Jericho’s help. Jericho starts to explain to Reigns that he’s made the list, but Owens tells Jericho to shut up. Owens tells Reigns he can’t talk to him that way, but Reigns challenges him. Reigns says he wants to face Owens tonight, and Reigns proposes that if he wins tonight he gets a shot at the Universal Title at Roadblock. Owens accepts, and Reigns heads to the back.

– Backstage, Jericho asks Owens why he told him to “shut up” out in the ring. Owens says that he’s sick of people saying he wouldn’t be the champion without Jericho’s help. They argue and appear to officially break off their friendship before Jericho storms off.

– Braun Strowman def. R-Truth: Strowman starts off with some clotheslines then a splash in the corner. Strowman follows up with a running powerslam for the very quick win in a squash match. After the match, Strowman beats down Goldust until Sami Zayn comes out for the save. Strowman ends up dropping Zayn and tieing his legs up in the turnbuckle. Some referees slide in the ring to stop Strowman, then Mick Foley walks out. Zayn tells Mick he doesn’t need his help. Byron steps in the ring and asks Foley about why he’s stopped the action with Strowman and Zayn two weeks in a row. Foley says Zayn needs to be saved from himself because he won’t quit. Zayn says Foley is screwing him over, and Foley gets in his face and tells him that he’ll never beat Strowman because he’s a monster.
