"CM Punk closed the show with a high-stakes World Heavyweight Championship defense against The Vision's Bron Breakker, marking Punk's first title defense since winning the belt at Saturday Night's Main Event. And for a while, it looked like Breakker might be cashing in on that "new year, new champion" vibe. He bulldozed Punk through most of the first half, tossing him around like luggage at JFK."
"Naturally, chaos followed. The Vision got involved, Rey Mysterio, Penta, and Dragon Lee chased them off, and suddenly Raw hit the "maximum drama" button. From there, the match took off, delivering slick submission exchanges, nerve-racking near-falls, and a genuinely gripping finish. Punk finally sidestepped a Breakker Spear and landed the GTS to retain, heading toward the Royal Rumble with gold still snug around his waist."

The Women's World Championship was not defended; champion Stephanie Vaquer made an appearance.
