"The last "Raw" before Christmas reinforced WWE's top heel on Monday, cementing why the ending of John Cena's final match at "Saturday Night's Main Event" on Dec. 13 was the right call. But the biggest focus of the night was The Vision, who scored a key victory in the main event and gave an explanation why former masked assailant and current Vision trial member Austin Theory donned the mask in the first place. As the show closed, The Vision's Bron Breakker got one up on the champion, CM Punk, adding fuel to the fire for their World Heavyweight Championship match on Jan. 5."
"WWE fans still don't like Gunther and still won't let him speak. For the second straight week, Gunther kept his words short after the crowd drowned him in boos for minutes, saying, "Don't be mad at me. Be mad at the guy who tapped out like a little b----." This isn't me taking a victory lap, but for those who wished for a Cena victory at "Saturday Night's Main Event," the reaction Gunther has received the past two weeks shows exactly why he was the winner. Gunther would not be getting these reactions if he had lost."
The final Raw before Christmas strengthened Gunther's role as WWE's top heel, with fans booing him loudly and him responding tersely. The Vision achieved a pivotal win in the main event, and Austin Theory unmasked and explained that his masked intrusions were meant to let his actions speak to Paul Heyman. Theory and Bronson Reed defeated CM Punk and Rey Mysterio in the tag main event. Bron Breakker confronted champion CM Punk as the show closed, intensifying their World Heavyweight Championship feud set for Jan. 5.
