TRIVIA:
By the way anything that happened in 2020 will not count since it’s a new year, meaning anyone that wrestled last week will not count as wrestling in their 2nd week in a row. The only mention of 2020 or previous years will be for title defenses, re-matches, & other historical facts
RAW
The New Day VS The Miz & John Morrison was Kofi Kingston, Xavier Woods, The Miz, & John Morrison’s 1st Raw match & opener of 2021, & was their 1st match against each other, as last year, Miz & Morrison defeated Big E & Kingston, not Woods
AJ Styles VS Elias was both Styles & Elias’ 1st Raw of 2020, & was their 2nd match against each other after Raw on December 28, 2020, which was won by Styles, but this will not count as a match that took place 2 weeks in a row on Raw
Asuka & Charlotte Flair VS Lacey Evans & Peyton Royce was Asuka, Flair, Evans, & Royce’s 1st Raw match of 2020, & was their 2nd match against each other after Raw on December 21, 2020, which was also won by Asuka & Flair, making them 1-1-0 against Evans & Royce, & was Evans’ 1st win overall since Survivor Series on November 22, Evans’ 1st win on Raw since she defeated Natalya on September 30, 2019, Royce’s 1st win overall since she defeated Nikki Cross on Main Event on December 3, 2020, & 1st on Raw since defeated Billie Kay on September 7, 2020, & was Asuka’s 1st loss since she lost to Sasha Banks at the Survivor Series on November 22, & her 1st loss on Raw since she lost to Sasha Banks by Count Out on July 20, 2020
Riddle VS Bobby Lashley was both Riddle & Lashley’s 1st Raw of 2021, & was Lashley’s 1st loss by Pinfall since he lost to Drew McIntyre at Backlash on June 14, 2020 & his 1st pinfall loss on Raw since he lost to Ricochet on February 20, 2020
Dana Brooke VS Shayna Baszler was Brooke & Baszler’s 1st Raw of 2020, was the 3rd match between them after Raw on December 14, 2020, which was won by Brooke by Disqualification, & December 28, 2020, which was won by Baszler, again making it a match to take place 2 weeks in a row on Raw, but it won’t be counted as such for 2021, so now Brooke has won twice & Baszler has won once, & was the 1st Raw of 2021 to have 2 Women’s Matches
Jeff Hardy VS Randy Orton was Hardy & Orton’s 1st Raw of 2021, & was their 13th 1-on-1 Match against each other, with their 1st match taking place on Raw on August 28, 2006, which was won by Hardy, their last match prior to Raw taking place on Smackdown on December 4, 2018, which was won by Orton, & their 1st match on Raw since Hardy won on January 14, 2018, so now in their 13 matches against each other, Hardy has won 5 & Orton has won 8 times
