Episode #8 (December 25, 2020):
Raw Card:
Segment: Edge opens up Raw. Edge wishes everyone happy holidays and thanks the WWE Universe for being with him through all this. Edge then thanks his wife Beth Phoenix. Look, without her, I probably wouldn't have won the match honestly. She was the reason for my win. She is the reason I'm doing this today and you all witnessed that first hand so thank you, Beth. Edge continues saying that tonight he received an early Christmas present. He gets one final opportunity to put Daniel Bryan and Chad Gable down for good by facing them in a tag team match, but of course, he needs a partner. Edge says he's been thinking all morning and he's got some people in mind. Suddenly, Randy Orton comes out. Orton hugs Edge and they are all buddy, buddy again, reminiscing about Rated RKO and stuff. Orton thanks Edge for choosing him as his partner tonight. He's excited to get back on track and what better way than some old school dream team action. Edge welcomes Orton but says that he hasn't made a decision yet so he will think about it. As much as he wants to, he thinks he needs to step away from the dream matches and look towards the future.

Segment: Backstage Interview with Shayna Baszler. Baszler says that on Sunday she proved once again that she is the Women's Divison. You may think you are tough enough to take on me, but, as Candice LeRae learned, you are mistaken. I came up in the Octagon, created by the hard steel and the brutal blows. I had to learn how to be tough. LeRae never had to learn how to be tough. She wanted to be tough while I needed it so badly that I became it. SO next time you think you can take me on Candice, think real hard, think real hard about what I have done to you and what more I will do. Charly then asks if she is looking for other potential challengers. Baszler says there is not a single woman in this entire division who can match up to my level. Charly says that some people are mentioning Rhea Ripley. Baszler responds saying like I said no one.

Gable says that just because he didn't help him win at TLC, doesn't make me not the future, you lost Daniel. Daniel yells back that he did not lose. Beth Phoenix illegally entered the match and they deserve a rematch. It is only fair Gable. Gable questions this asking Bryan that if you don't get what you want you just demand a do-over. Bryan tells Gable that now he is learning.

Video Package: An episode of Firefly Funhouse starts. We see Bray Wyatt standing by the door which is cracked open and he's talking to someone behind it. He closes it and sees the camera "Oh! Hello, my Fireflies! I'm sorry I didn't see you come in! Today on the Firefly Funhouse we have a very special friend visiting us today in the Funhouse!" Bray walks to a desk and clips on a tie and acts like a late-night talk show host. "Well today we have a very special guest, he's someone who has accomplished a lot here in the WWE, has fans all over the globe, and he's your Universal Champion Sami Zayn!" The Camera pans over and we see a Sami Zayn tied to a chair with the hurt glove shoved in his mouth. Bray pulls the glove out of Zayn's mouth and asks "So Sami what was it like retaining that Universal Championship at TLC?" Sami freaks out "LET ME GO YOU LUNATIC! HOW DID YOU EVEN GET ME HERE?!" Wyatt is visibly sad "Now Sami, you're a guest here and it isn't very polite to call people names. You aren't showing me very much respect." Sami says "I DON'T CARE. YOU'RE CRAZY AND I GOTTA GET OUT OF HERE" Sami struggles in his chair and Wyatt says "What's wrong Sami? Leaving so soon? Well maybe you'll want to stay when I introduce... my other guest." the lights go dark and Bray goes under the desk and slowly rises back up as the Fiend.

Morrison Andrade and Breezango team up on The New Day and start to beat them down, then The Street Profits come and make the save and even the odds.
