MONDAY NIGHT RAW - JANUARY 2, 2017

Welcome to the first Raw of the new year and we kick off 2017 from the Amalie Centre in Tampa, Florida. Mick Foley is in the ring and cuts a promo regarding the main event at Royal Rumble which will see Kevin Owens defend the Universal Championship against Roman Reigns with Chris Jericho suspended above the ceiling inside of a shark cage. Owens and Jericho walk out and ask Foley if he thinks it's funny to hang Jericho high above the ceiling like a sexy pinata.

Owens says Foley is abusing his power. First by giving Roman Reigns a rematch against him at Royal Rumble and second was Seth Rollins pedigreeing him on the hood of a car yet he gets rewarded. Jericho helped Owens retain the championship at Roadblock and instead of rewarding him, Foley wants to lock him in the "Cage Of Jericho".

Owens says it's clear Foley has an issue with them but it's a new year and they're done. Foley says Owens is right it's a new year and since Kevin Owens is always talking about the Kevin Owens Show, he's never actually seen it so tonight Owens gets the opportunity to debut the Kevin Owens Show and his first guest will be Goldberg

Owens asks Foley what makes him think it's right to go around abusing his power. Stephanie comes out and says Foley isn't abusing his power. He has every right to put Owens in the match at Royal Rumble and has every right to put Jericho inside the shark cage.

Stephanie says she and Foley are on the same page which is why he will support her match she is about to make. Roman Reigns defends the United States Championship against Chris Jericho and should Reigns get counted out or disqualified he will lose the championship. There must be a winner

Jericho asks what they're going to do about Seth Rollins, that stupid idiot. Stephanie tells Jericho to get ready for his match against Reigns and telsl Owens to get ready for his match against Seth Rollins
