Will Reigns pay the price?

Sheamus tried to kick Roman Reigns off SmackDown: SmackDown, December 17, 2015

The Celtic Warrior sends security after the new WWE World Heavyweight Champion.

Roman Reigns might have defied The Authority and the McMahon family Monday night by defeating Sheamus and capturing the WWE World Heavyweight Championship, but The Big Dog’s conquest came after leveling Mr. McMahon with a Superman Punch. As countless Superstars can attest, you don’t cross the boss.

What you didn’t see on Raw

On SmackDown, Sheamus claimed that Reigns’ actions — which also included attacking Triple H at WWE TLC —are currently under investigation by The Authority. Then, Reigns utterly dismantled the security team that attempted to remove him from the arena. Despite holding sports-entertainment’s grandest prize, a harsh fate might await The Big Dog on Raw.  

The Wyatts’ new “extremes”

Extreme Rules Eight-Man Tag Team Match: Raw, December 14, 2015

In the home of ECW, Philadelphia, The Dudley Boyz, Tommy Dreamer and Rhyno take The Wyatt Family to the "Extreme."

After dominating the ECW Originals in a Tables Match at WWE TLC, The Wyatt Family brought the fight to The Dudley Boyz, Rhyno and Tommy Dreamer in ECW’s birthplace of Philadelphia on Raw, defeating the hardcore veterans in an Extreme Rules Match that brought the house down in the City of Brotherly Love.

But what’s next for Bray Wyatt and his dark disciples? On SmackDown, The Eater of Worlds proclaimed, “We are not of this world. We do not obey your rules; we do not conform to your society. Sleep with one eye open, and know that we are everywhere. And we can never stop.”

Indeed, The Wyatt Family won’t be stopped on Raw.

Is Becky Lynch reaching a boiling point?

Becky Lynch vs. Brie Bella: SmackDown, December 17, 2015

The Lass Kicker tries to beat Brie Mode all on her own.

It’s one thing to watch your friend bend the rules, it’s quite another for that friend to cheat on your behalf. On SmackDown, during Becky Lynch’s match with Brie Bella, Charlotte tripped the Bella Twin and helped The Lass Kicker pick up a submission victory. Not happy with the unexpected assist, Becky confronted her friend about her increasingly deceptive actions, but those concerns were brushed off by the second-generation Diva yet again.

Will Becky’s frustrations continue Monday night, or will Charlotte soon see the error of her ways? 

Head games

Dolph Ziggler vs. Kevin Owens: SmackDown, December 17, 2015

The Showoff looks to get payback from a very dangerous prizefighter.

Kevin Owens seems determined to drive new Intercontinental Champion Dean Ambrose over the edge, but we’re pretty sure he’s been there and back already. Attacking both The Lunatic Fringe and Dolph Ziggler on Raw, the prizefighter continued his aggressive tactics on SmackDown, getting himself disqualified in a match with The Showoff, escaping a retaliatory beatdown from Ambrose and then taking out a dazed Ziggler with a superkick. If that wasn’t enough, Ziggler — still reeling — mistakenly kicked Ambrose in the skull. How will this unusual turn of events change the Intercontinental Title picture?

Don’t miss the 2015 WWE Slammy Awards on Raw at 8/7 C on USA Network, and be sure to tune in to the 2015 WWE Slammy Awards Pre-Show on WWE.com, the WWE App, Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, Pinterest, Pheed and Google+.
