Pre-show

Theme song:



After the usual pre-show fluff (which I'm not writing) we cut to Shane McMahon getting out of his limo as he arrives at the arena. He looks fairly smug as he walks towards the arena in a grey business suit. Before he can enter the building we see Charly Caruso walking up to him looking for an interview.

Charly Caruso: Shane McMahon can I get your thoughts ahead of tonight?

Shane McMahon rolls his eye before putting on a fake smile.

Shane McMahon: Of course you can Charly.


Charly Caruso: On Smackdown we saw some tension between Randy Orton and Roman Reigns. Are you worried about any potential issues between the two men tonight?

Shane shakes his head.

Shane McMahon: Both men know what's best for business and that...

Loud boos for the old authority catchphrase.

Shane McMahon: That's what both men will remember. Roman knows how much Triple H hates him. Look how long he tried to keep Roman down.

For once Shane has a point.

Shane McMahon: And Randy knows victory tonight grants him a shot at the WWE title.

Charly Caruso: We have also seen issues between members of Team Triple H. We even saw Drew McIntyre and Kevin Owens come to blow on Friday due to the issues within the team. Does that make you more confident heading into tonight?

Shane smirks.

Shane McMahon: Of course it does. Their team is on the verge of falling apart and after tonight, well none of Team Triple H will have a chance of becoming WWE Champion whilst I run this brand. Once my team wins, I'll make sure opportunities only go to the superstars who deserve them.

A smug grin appears on Shane's face.

Shane McMahon: Superstars like the War Raiders.

Boos from the crowd.


Shane McMahon: Jinder Mahal.

Loud boos now.

Shane McMahon: Baron Corbin

Loudest boos so far.

Shane McMahon: Erick Rowan

Not much reaction for that name.

Shane McMahon: And my best friend Daniel Bryan

The loudest reaction with some booing but some of the smarks cheering for Daniel Bryan.

Shane McMahon: After tonight, you'll see a new Smackdown that is best for business.

Shane McMahon walks off with a smug smirk on his face bringing the interview to an end. We get a few more fluff segments on the pre-show before the first match of the pre-show.

-------------------------------------------------

Team Usos (Jey Uso, Jimmy Uso, Heath Slater, Zack Ryder and Drew Gulak) vs Team EC3 (EC3, Drake Maverick, Oney Lorcan, Konnor and Viktor)

Match summary: The match starts at a decent pace to get the crowd warmed up. The Usos start the match off and take control early easily dealing with the Ascension. EC3 tags in and turns the tides helping the team. From there the heels isolate Zack Ryder and EC3 picks up the first elimination of the match as he hits Zack Ryder with the ONE PERCENTER (Headlock driver)!

Eliminated by EC3 via pinfall: Zack Ryder (4:29)

A man down, Heath Slater charges into the ring and looks to turn things back around for his team and he gives EC3 a good beating forcing EC3 backwards. However, as he falls back into his own corner Oney Lorcan makes the blind tag bringing himself into the match. Heath doesn't realize as he carries on laying a beating on EC3 and this allows Oney Lorcan to sneak up hitting him with a HALF AND HALF SUPLEX! Oney Lorcan makes the cover and it is now 5 on 3!

Eliminated by Oney Lorcan via pinfall: Heath Slater (6:02)

Team Uso is in trouble as The Usos talk to each other but Drew Gulak signals to the pair and says he's going to step into the ring! Oney Lorcan looks smug as the pair start grappling in the center of the ring and chain wrestle. We even hear Drake Maverick on the apron as he taunts Drew Gulak and asks when he last got a win! Big mistake as that seems to fire Drew Gulak up as he takes control of the exchange and traps Oney Lorcan in the GU-LOCK (Dragon sleeper)! Oney Lorcan tries to escape but it's no use and he taps out!

Eliminated by Drew Gulak via submission: Oney Lorcan (8:53)

EC3 looks angry and tells his team he is going to step into the ring to show them how it's done! He charges at Drew Gulak WHO IMMEDIATELY TRAPS HIM IN A PINNING PREDICAMENT!

Eliminated by Drew Gulak via pinfall: EC3 (9:10)

Drew Gulak in a matter of seconds has turned the match on its head and it's now 3 vs 3 with EC3's team being down their captain as well. Drake Maverick looks in shock before telling one of the Ascension to step into the ring. Viktor does and The Ascension look to not only turn the tide but turn back the clock to when they were a dominant team on NXT. Drake Maverick throughout talks trash as they isolate Drew Gulak and wear him down.

Drew is really struggling as The Ascension look like they may be about to eliminate Drew Gulak but the submission expert grits through the pain and makes the hot tag bringing Jey Uso back into the match! Jey Uso is a house on fire taking care of the Ascension with a flurry of superkicks. He is even able to save one for Drake Maverick sending him crashing off the apron to the ring floor. Jey makes his way over to Jimmy and tags his partner in as they take out a charging Viktor with a DOUBLE SUPERKICK! Jimmy makes the cover 1 2 3!

Eliminated by Jimmy Uso via pinfall: Viktor (13:18)

Jimmy and Jey make their way back over to the corner as Jimmy tags Jey back into the match giving the Usos more time in the ring as they line Konnor up and hit him with a DOUBLE SUPERKICK AS WELL! Jey then signals as they both make their way to the corners of the ring. Jimmy sees Drake Maverick coming to and wipes him out on the outside with a DIVING CROSSBODY as Jey flies off and hits the SAMOAN SPLASH! Jey makes the cover 1 2 3!

Eliminated by Jey Uso via pinfall: Konnor (14:05)

The match has gone from 3 on 5 to 3 on 1 now as Drake Maverick on the outside comes to and sees Jimmy Uso stood next to him. Drake begs off and tries to take back away but he bumps into Jey Uso! Both the Usos grab Drake and roll him inside the ring as he tries to back away but the Usos cuts him off. Drake slowly gets to his feet... DOUBLE SUPERKICK! Jey then makes his way over to Drew Gulak and tags him back into the match. Gulak grabs the prone Drake Maverick and locks him in the GU-LOCK! Drake is in a ton of pain and quickly taps out giving Team Uso the win!

Winners: Team Uso (14:57)

Survivors: Jey Uso, Jimmy Uso and Drew Gulak

A decent-sized pop from the crowd as The Usos jump into the ring and celebrate the win with Drew Gulak. All 3 men look happy as Drake Maverick lays out cold on the mat selling the impact of not only the Gu-lock but the Double superkick. The Usos even put Drew Gulak on their shoulders as they carry on the celebrations in the ring.

-------------------------------------------------

After a few more of the pre-show segments, we cut backstage as we see The Game Triple H walking backstage when he is stopped by Charly Caruso.


Charly Caruso: Triple H, a big night for you tonight which could see Shane McMahon taking sole control of Smackdown Live. How are you feeling?

Triple H smiles and looks surprisingly calm.

HHH: I'm feeling confident. As the founding father of NXT...

Cheap pop from the smarky elements of the crowd.


HHH: I believe in the future and I believe in the team I've picked for tonight.

Charly Caruso: Some people have wondered why you didn't put yourself on the team?

HHH: My days in the ring are behind me and it is now about the future. I trust the superstars to get the job done.

Charly Caruso: On Smackdown you promised consequences for Kevin Owens and Drew McIntyre if they cost your team the match due to their infighting. What did you mean by that?

Triple H remains calm but slightly loosens his tie.

HHH: I'm the Game. Everyone knows what happens to people when they cross me.

Charly Caruso: One final question, what are your plans if your team wins tonight?

Triple H smiles at Charly.

HHH: Tonight is about the superstars. When my team wins tonight, I'll reveal my plans for the future of Smackdown on Friday night.

Triple H walks off and heads elsewhere backstage bringing the interview to an end. We get a few more pre-show segments before we cut to our pre-show main event (I've been binging on OSW throughout lockdown) between Corbin and Jeff Hardy.

-------------------------------------------------

No DQ match: Jeff Hardy vs Baron Corbin

Match summary: This match may be a no DQ match but with the last woman standing match later in the show, the only weapons used during this match are a steel chair and a couple of ladders (brought into the match by Jeff Hardy). During the match, both men use the ladders to lay into each other but every time Jeff looks to jump off the ladder Corbin cuts him off getting loud boos from the crowd. As we get to the closing stages of the match Corbin grabs Jeff and hits him with a DEEP SIX ONTO A LADDER! It gets a very close two count as Corbin looks angry until...



A decent-sized pop from the crowd as ELIAS walks out with his guitar in hand though a fair few boos due to his alliance with the Corporation over the last few months. He walks to the ring as Corbin opens his arms and beckons his tag team partner to come inside the ring. He even goes as far as opening the ropes for his friend and letting him get into the ring. Corbin smirks as Elias looks at the rising Jeff Hardy and lines him up... GUITAR SHOT TO BARON CORBIN! A massive pop as Elias looks at Corbin and walks off. Jeff meanwhile looks confused but then looks to the ladder and climbs to the top. He takes a moment before DIVING OFF AND HITS A SWANTON BOMB OFF THE LADDER TO CORBIN! Jeff Hardy makes the cover and picks up the win!

Winner via pinfall: Jeff Hardy (10:56)

A loud pop from the crowd as Jeff Hardy gets to his feet and celebrates another win over Baron Corbin as he carries on his singles winning streak to 3 wins in a row now. At the top of the entrance ramp meanwhile, we see Elias smirking as he heads backstage.

-------------------------------------------------

We then get a few pre-show segments with them reacting to what we just saw. In the final segment, I'm recapping before the main show we Elias walking through the back and heading towards the car park when someone grabs his arm. Elias turns around and we see Shane McMahon stood there furious!

Shane McMahon: What the hell was that? Why did you attack Corbin?

Elias pulls his arm away from Shane and pushes Shane to the floor! Shane McMahon lands on his ass as Elias stands over him getting a loud pop.

Elias: Why? Why? Do you remember what happened to me at Halloween Havoc?

Elis looks furious as we see Shane McMahon crawling backwards on his ass.


Elias: I saved Corbin from Drew McIntyre and what does he do in return? He watches Drew pick me up and toss from the cell! I could have lost my career and my so-called friend did nothing.

Shane tries to get to his feet but struggles as he places his hands together.

Shane McMahon: Listen Corbin would have saved you but but... he was also worried about the rest of the Corporation!

Elias smiles and helps Shane back to his feet.

Elias: Well in that case, the Corporation and Baron Corbin...

Elias pushes Shane McMahon to the floor!

Elias: Can go to hell! From now on, I'm a solo act.

Elias walks off leaving Shane McMahon on the floor and walks off leaving the arena. We then cut to the pre-show panel who recap what just happened and then let us know that the main show will be starting with Team Black versus Team Vega!

Main show will be posted tomorrow!

Survivor Series:
November 24th:
Rosemont, Illinois

Main show:

Theme song:


After the initial PPV theme song finishes, we cut to the commentary team at ringside as we see Michael Cole and Corey Graves sat down at the commentary desk ready to welcome us to the show.

Michael Cole: It's Sunday night and you know what that means! Hello and welcome to Survivor Series from Rosemont, Illinois!

Corey Graves: We have an action-packed night in store. But Michael can I start the night off by saying how much I missed you? I'm already dreading having Byron back by my side again on Friday Night.



Boos from the crowd though a few smarks cheer as Shinsuke Nakamura walks out and noticeably he is wearing an Ungovenables T-Shirt. He poses for the crowd and smirks as he stands at the top of the entrance ramp.

Corey Graves: Now Michael, I know you are an expert on all things Monday Night Raw but I have an exclusive from my sources on the Raw roster. Shinsuke Nakamura has signed an exclusive deal with Zelina Vega and is now an official member of the Ungovenables.

Michael Cole: A massive addition to the Ungovenables brand and you have to wonder if that will give Shinsuke even more incentive to help team Ungovenables win tonight!



More boos from the crowd but a few cheers as Zelina Vega leads the way and she is followed by the rest of the stable as she joins the newest member of her group Shinsuke Nakamura on the entrance ramp. She is soon followed by the other 3 members of the Ungovenables competing in this match Cesaro, Ilja Dragunov, and Dominik Dijakovic. All 4 men stand together before walking together cutting an imposing figure as a unit.

Michael Cole: Zelina has been looking to take over Monday Night Raw and tonight could be another step closer to achieving that goal.

Corey Graves: I don't know if there is a force on Monday Night Raw that can stop this group.



And the loudest reaction of the lot as Samoa Joe makes his way out with the United States title over his shoulder. There is a lot of boos from the crowd but a good portion of the smarky crowd cheer for the champion. He walks to the ring and joins the Ungovenables in the ring. He stands near them but just to the side, leaning on the ropes smirking as he gets ready for this match.

Michael Cole: Samoa Joe has been United States Champion for two hundred and sixty-four days. He has been unstoppable and tonight he looks to help lead Team Ungovenables to victory.

Corey Graves: The only people who I think come close to Samoa Joe is Asuka and Roman Reigns on Smackdown. I do wonder if Zelina has made the right call promising Samoa Joe a Universal title shot if Team Ungovenables win tonight.



A decent pop but nothing special as the young Cruiserweight Humberto Carrillo makes his way out first. In the ring we see the heel taunting him as they dare him to come to the ring and fight them but Humberto stays on the entrance ramp waiting for the rest of his team.

Michael Cole: A big night for Humberto Carrillo.

Corey Graves: Twenty-four years of age with all the promise in the world. But tonight he steps into the ring with five of the best wrestlers in the world.



Another alright pop from the crowd as Dolph Ziggler makes his way out next. He smirks as he walks onto the entrance ramp and even does his signature wiggle for the crowd as he makes his way out. He slaps the back of Humberto Carrillo looking to pump him up.

Michael Cole: Dolph Ziggler is a two-time World champion but had been in a little bit of a rut until he won the North American title in NXT!

Yes, Ziggler is a two-time world champion. No, I don't know why that 20-minute reign counts but it does.

Corey Graves: Ziggler is a crafty veteran and remember what he did at Survivor Series four years ago against the Authority. Ziggler knows how to survive.

Rewatched that match the other day. Still holds up.



A much better reaction though as Rusev makes his way out and he is joined by his wife Lana. She gives him a kiss whilst the crowd chant “RUSEV DAY” in the background. After a good five seconds, Rusev looks at the camera and starts chanting “RUSEV DAY” getting the crowd excited. Ziggler looks to join in with the Rusev Day chants but Rusev stares at him, so Ziggler wisely stops joining in.

Michael Cole: We talked about how dominant Samoa Joe has been as United States Champion but he came this close to ending Joe's title reign. And he might have done so without Vega attacking his wife Lana backstage.

Corey Graves: You say that but tonight Rusev has the chance to pin Samoa Joe and earn another United States title shot on Rusev day!



Michael Cole: And speaking of people who have their eyes on the United States title, it's Chad Gable!

A loud pop as Chad Gable makes his way out and he is joined by his manager/mentor Kurt Angle! The crowd welcomes Kurt Angle in typical fashion showering him with “YOU SUCK” chants. Both men take it in their stride though Rusev can't help shouting to Kurt “You know that's an insult right?”

Corey Graves: Chad can talk about wanting a rematch with Samoa Joe but Joe has already beaten him and Rusev. If either man wants a shot at the United States title, they will have to pin Samoa Joe!

All 4 men in this match stand about halfway down the ramp as they look at their ring, with the managers stood to the side as we wait for the team captain...



And the loudest pop of the 5 men as the lights dim down ahead of Aleister Black's arrival. He slowly rises up before standing upright at the top of the entrance ramp. He then looks at the ring and slowly walks down the ramp as he leads his troops into battle!

Michael Cole: Aleister Black challenged Zelina Vega to this match after her jibes following his loss to Brock Lesnar. Tonight we see if Black can recruit a better team than Vega.


Corey Graves: Zelina's managerial skills are almost unmatched. Black has assembled a great team but I can't see them beating The Ungovenables and Samoa Joe tonight. Joe and The Ungovenables under Zelina have been near unstoppable.

All 10 men are now stood in the ring as the teams talk about who is going to start for each team. Team Ungovenables talk with each other as Joe ignores them and climbs onto the ring apron. They end up settling on Cesaro starting for them whilst on Team Black after a brief discussion Humberto Carrillo starts for his team! The referee calls for the bell and the match is underway!

Team Black (Aleister Black, Rusev, Dolph Ziggler, Chad Gable and Humberto Carrillo) w/Lana and Kurt Angle vs Team Ungovenables (Cesaro, Ilja Dragunov, Dominik Dijakovic, Samoa Joe and Shinsuke Nakamura) w/Zelina Vega

Cesaro smirks as he cranks his neck and walks towards Humberto Carrillo. Both men lock up in the center of the ring as Cesaro overpowers the young kid and cockily smiles... so Humberto shows him up by escaping and hitting a SPRINGBOARD ARM DRAG! Cesaro falls to the mat as Humberto runs off the ropes connects with a dropkick. Cheers from the crowd as Cesaro looks annoyed and walks over to the corner as he tags in Ilja Dragunov.

Humberto is no longer smiling as he looks at the man who broke his arm just under 2 months ago. Humberto charges at Ilja Dragunov and starts laying into the mad Russian! The Cruiserweights batter each other in the center of the ring but Ilja takes control of the striking exchange as he starts giving Humberto a few stiffs forearms to the jaw. Humberto is on wobbly legs as Ilja runs off the ropes... as Humberto counters with a HURRICANRANA INTO TEAM BLACK'S CORNER!

Humberto makes his way over to Dolph Ziggler and tags him in as Humberto Irish whips Ilja Dragunov out of the corner into a JUMPING CLOTHESLINE! Dolph follows it up by making the first cover of the match 1 Ilja kicks out! Dolph realizes he has a lot more work to do as he starts working over Ilja Dragunov on the mat, wearing down the mad Russian. Joe on the apron is watching on and shakes his head whilst the rest of The Ungovenables encourage Ilja Dragunov from the ring apron.

Ziggler though keeps the pressure up as he starts laying into Ilja hitting him with the HEARTSTOPPER (Multiple elbows to a grounded opponent). Ziggler finishes it off with one final elbow before making another cover 1 2 Ilja kicks out! Ziggler then grabs hold of Ilja and sends him into the corner of the ring and tags in Rusev. Rusev follows it up by peppering Ilja with several kicks and knee strikes in the corner. Ilja is clearly in a lot of pain as Rusev grabs hold of him and tosses him across the ring with a BELLY TO BACK SUPLEX!

Ilja lands with a hard thud on the mat, as he grabs his back. Rusev follows it up as he runs across the ring and connects with a JUMPING SENTON! Rusev follows it up by making the cover 1 2 Dragunov kicks out! Rusev grabs back to his feet and carries on the assault peppering Ilja with several kicks to the chest. He looks to finish him off with a roundhouse kick to the head but Ilja follows this up by sweeping Rusev's leg out from underneath him! Ilja jumps back to his feet and leaps on Rusev as he starts peppering him with several forearms to the head!

Ilja is laying into Rusev in wild fashion before grabbing hold of Rusev and Irish whips him into the corner of the ring. Ilja makes his way over and tags in Shinsuke Nakamura! Ilja uses his 5 count to lay into Rusev with several clotheslines before Shinsuke follows up with BAD VIBRATIONS! Boos from the crowd as Shinsuke taunts the fans and even taunts Angle on the outside. Black turns to Gable but the Olympian stays calm on the apron.

Shinsuke turns back around as Rusev catches him with a shoulder block! Shinsuke's taunting backfires on him as Rusev charges out of the corner and runs him over with a massive lariat! Cheers from the crowd as Rusev roars. He then looks to the corner as Ziggler sticks his arm out to tag in but Rusev tags in Humberto instead! Humberto runs into the ring and catches Shinsuke Nakamura with a ROUNDHOUSE KICK TO THE HEAD! Shinsuke falls back down to the mat as Nakamura follows up with a STANDING MOONSAULT! 1 2 Nakamura kicks out!

Humberto is fired up as the crowd cheer on the young kid as he runs off the ropes but as he does we see Shinsuke rolling out of the ring trying to get some breathing room. Humberto though seeing this hits a CORKSCREW MOONSAULT PLANCHA! A big pop from the crowd as Humberto grabs hold of Shinsuke and rolls him back into the ring as he makes the cover once again 1 2 Shinsuke kicks out! Humberto gets back to his feet and makes his way over as he tags Chad Gable into the match.

Gable makes his way over to Shinsuke and brings him back towards the center of the ring with a GERMAN SUPLEX! Gable looks focused as he gives Shinsuke a few kicks to the head before finishing off with a low dropkick! Gable makes the cover 1 2 Nakamura kicks out! Team Black are in control early on and Shinsuke is struggling. He once again looks to get to the corner to get a breather but Gable grabs hold of his leg as helooks for the ANKLE LOCK... SHINSUKE KICKS GABLE OFF!

Gable comes back off the ropes and Shinsuke goes for a knee to the gut... but GABLE COUNTERS WITH A DRAGON SCREW LEG WHIP! Shinsuke grabs his right leg as Gable remains focused and brings Shinsuke towards the corner as he tags in Rusev! And Rusev is more than happy to make Shinsuke suffer as he jumps into the air and stomps on Shinsuke's leg! Shinsuke lets out a cry of pain before Rusev deadlifts him off the mat and hits an OVERHEAD BELLY TO BELLY SUPLEX!

Shinsuke flies across the ring and lands by the Ungovenables corner as Joe blind tags himself in whilst Rusev tags Humberto back into the ring match as young high-flier follows it up by running towards Shinsuke and SPRINGBOARDS OFF THE ROPES HITTING AN ARM DRAG! Humberto hasn't seen Joe tag in as he stands behind Shinsuke waiting for him to get up but SAMOA JOE GRABS HIM FROM BEHIND AND SCOOPS HIM UP FOR THE MUSCLE BUSTER! Joe makes the cover

Eliminated by Samoa Joe via pinfall: Humberto Carrillo (5:32)

Humberto rolls out of the ring as Zelina smirks smugly as her pick for the team pays off. Joe gets back to his feet and looks at Team Black's corner as he asks them who's next... AND CHAD GABLE STEPS INTO THE RING! Gable might finally get his wish as he sizes up Samoa Joe. The United States champion smirks for a moment before shaking his head and tagging in Cesaro! Loud boos from the crowd who wanted to see Joe and Gable go at it, but Joe wants to do this on his terms.

Kurt Angle on the outside shakes his head as Joe carries on taunting the crowd. Back in the ring Cesaro and Gable lock up as the two men try to outwrestle each other. Cesaro brings Gable down to the mat and locks in a headlock. Joe once again taunts Gable which seems to fire Gable up as he escapes and hits Cesaro with a GERMAN SUPLEX! Gable plants Cesaro as he looks to follow up but Cesaro cuts him off with a EUROPEAN UPPERCUT! Gable stumbles backwards as Cesaro scoops him up and connects with a SPINEBUSTER! Cesaro makes the cover 1 2 Gable kicks out!

Cesaro follows this up by grabbing hold of Gable's arm as he starts to work it over looking to take away the submission game of the Olympian here. Kurt Angle on the outside is giving Gable encouragement as Cesaro sees Gable getting to the ropes and instead hits him with an OVERHEAD BELLY TO BACK SUPLEX sending him across the ring! Cesaro then looks at his partner Ilja and tags him back into the match! Meanwhile, on the outside, we can see Shinsuke resting his leg after the assault earlier in the match from Gable.

Ilja starts chopping the chest of Gable in the corner before following up by crushing the left arm in the corner getting boos from the crowd. Ilja keeps it in till the count of 4 before backing off! The ref argues about him not breaking the count soon and JOE USES THAT AS AN EXCUSE TO CHEAP SHOT GABLE FROM BEHIND! Heat from the crowd but Joe smirks as he enjoys get one over on Gable. Ilja stops arguing with the ref and grabs Gable hitting him with a VERTICAL SUPLEX! Ilja makes the cover 1 2 Gable kicks out!

Ilja once again lays into Gable with several clubbing forearms to a seated Gable. Ilja finishes it off by running off the ropes and connecting with a LOW-ANGLE LARIAT! Ilja makes the cover 1 2 Gable kicks out! Ilja poses for the crowd before jumping into the air as he hits a JUMPING SENTON! Ilja looks to the corner and drags Gable towards the corner as he brings Shinsuke back into the match.

Shinsuke carries on the assault and lays into Gable peppering him with kicks not only aiming for the chest but going after the left arm as well! Shinsuke then looks to go for a CROSS ARMBREAKER! Gable though transitions it into a BUCKLE BOMB INTO THE UNGOVENALES CORNER... SO DIJAKOVIC TAGS HIMSELF IN! Gable looks to get to the other corner but Dijakovic sprints across the ring and hits a DROPKICK cutting Gable off!

Dijakovic stands tall over Gable and follows it up with a BIG BOOT! Boos from the crowd as Dijakvoic makes the cover 1 2 Gable kicks out! Dijakovic then looks at the ropes as he has an idea. He climbs onto the second rope in the middle of the ring and jumps off hitting a DIVING BODY SPLASH! 1 2 Gable kicks out! Amazing athleticism by Dijakovic here. He gets back to his feet as he lifts Gable up looking for FEAST YOUR EYES... BUT GABLE COUNTERS HITTING A DDT!

Gable takes a moment to rest on the mat whilst Dijakovic sells the impact of the DDT. Gable crawls over and makes the tag as he brings Rusev back into the match! Dijakovic is back to his feet as well as the two big men start clobbering each other in the center of the ring. It is an even fight but it looks like Rusev is going to win out UNTIL DIJAKOVIC HEADBUTTS RUSEV! Rusev stumbles backwards and Dijakovic follows up with a DISCUSS CLOTHESLINE! Dijakovic makes the cover 1 2 Rusev kicks out!

Dijakovic gets back to his feet as he looks at Rusev on the mat and lines him up. Rusev slowly gets back to his feet and gets hit with the CYCLONE KICK! Rusev falls to the mat down and out as Zelina looks at Lana on the outside and shouts to finish him! Dijakvoic grabs hold of Rusev as he looks at Team Black dead in the eyes and hits him with FEAST YOUR EYES! Dijakovic makes the cover

Dijakvoic kicks out!

A very close near fall as Ziggler shakes his head as his veteran instincts nearly got his team a massive elimination. On the outside, Joe sends Gable into the barricade whilst Black wins his battle with Ilja. Rusev and Lana head backstage as on the outside we see Joe and Black having a staredown before both men return to the apron. Back in the ring, Ziggler is trying to work over Dijakovic on the mat but he overpowers Dolph Ziggler and sends him flying into the air!

Dolph lands with a hard thud as Dominik Dijakovic gets back to his feet and STOMPS ON ZIGGLER! Boos from the crowd as Dolph clutches his chest. Dijakovic grabs hold of Dolph Ziggler as he places him over his head in a GORILLA PRESS POSITION AND TOSSES HIM INTO ALEISTER BLACK ON THE RING APRON! Boos from the crowd for the cheap attack as Black lands on the outside and glares at Dijakovic in the ring. Ziggler lands by the ropes as Dijakovic grabs Ziggler and plants him with an SIT-OUT CHOKESLAM! Dijakovic makes the cover 1 2 Ziggler kicks out!

Dijakovic gets back to his feet as he looks at Ziggler down on the mat and has an idea. Dijakovic makes his way to the top rope and steadies himself ready to fly off... AS GABLE GRABS HIS RIGHT LEG STOPPING HIM! He pulls on the leg of Dijakovic but the big man fights him off! Black though climbs onto the apron and SUPERKICKS DIJAKOVIC STAGGERING HIM! Dijakovic wobbles on the top rope as Ziggler leaps off the ropes and hits an AVALANCHE JUMPING DDT! Ziggler makes the cover

Winners: Team Black (30:09)

Sole survivor: Aleister Black

Michael Cole: Aleister Black does it! Aleister Black has lead his team to victory tonight!

Corey Graves: I'm in shock. Not only did Chad Gable pin Samoa Joe but Aleister Black eliminated three men on his way to victory tonight and beat Zelina at her own game. He picked the team needed to get the job done.

Michael Cole: That's right Corey and you heard it yourself. He has Andrade and the Universal title in his sights!

Loud cheers from the crowd as Aleister Black poses in the ring. He takes a moment to poses for the crowd before taking a seat cross-legged in the ring as he stares at Zelina Vega on the outside.

-------------------------------------------------

Renee Young: Would you please welcome my guest at this time, Bobby Lashley!

A massive mixed reaction for Bobby Lashley as he enters the shot and cuts an imposing figure. He is also joined by Lio Rush who is wearing flashy shades and gold chains.

Renee Young: Bobby, tonight you have arguably the biggest match of your career as you face Brock Lesnar in what some people are calling a dream match...

Lio Rush: Some people, some people? Renee everyone should be calling it a dream match because that's what it is.

Bobby remains stoic as Lio carries on spouting off.

Lio Rush: Bobby Lashley and Brock Lesnar. Two of the best mixed martial arts competitors of all time and two of the toughest wrestlers of all time! But there will be only one winner of this dream match. The all-mighty, walking Armageddon himself, Bobby Lashley!

Renee Young: Well thanks Lio but I was going to ask Bobby how he was feeling ahead of the match?

Lio Rush: The main man is feeling pumped. He knows what is going to happened to Brock Lesnar and tonight he will leave no doubt on who the better man is. C'mon Bobby.

Bobby takes a moment to look at Lio and Renee and walks off as we cut back to the commentary team at ringside.

-------------------------------------------------

Michael Cole: Do you think Bobby Lashley has what it takes to beat Brock Lesnar?

Corey Graves: If anyone is strong enough to beat Brock Lesnar when it comes to strength, it is Bobby Lashley. A win tonight would be the biggest of his career and surely would put him next in line for a Universal title shot.



A decent pop from the crowd as Carmella moonwalks out to the top of the entrance ramp. There are a few of the smarky fans who are booing though as they do not want to see Carmella become champion one more time beating Asuka.

Michael Cole: Carmella looks to become WWE Women's champion for a second time but she has to go through Asuka to do it.

Corey Graves: She did it once and I think she can do it again. Even without R-Truth, she still knows how to win.


Michael Cole: And she has been on a roll lately.



A massive pop from the crowd as Asuka makes her way out in her usual attire. She takes the mask off and lets out a massive smile as she walks down the ring. Inside the ring meanwhile, Carmella lets out a slight gulp as she waits for Asuka to enter the ring.

Corey Graves: Ever since Summerslam, Asuka has held onto that title and defeated all challengers. No one has been ready for Asuka.


Michael Cole: But she is beatable. Like we said just now, Carmella is one of the few WWE superstars to have defeated Asuka.

Asuka climbs into the ring and takes off her entrance attire. She looks at Carmella and smiles whilst Carmella looks a little nervous as she jumps up and down looking to psyche herself up. Once the usual title introductions are done Asuka sticks out her hand and offers her a handshake. Carmella looks weary but Asuka says she wants Carmella to agree to a fair match. Carmella leans in and accepts the handshake... as ASUKA CHEAP SHOTS HER! A mixed reaction from the crowd as Carmella falls to the mat! Asuka then looks at the referee and tells him to ring the bell!

Asuka just glares at Carmella and instead of going for the cover she grabs Carmella's face and slaps her! Carmella though is clearly out of it as Asuka grabs hold of her neck and locks her in the ASUKA LOCK! Asuka wrenches back on the hold and the referee checks on Carmella who is clearly out cold so the referee calls for the bell!

Winner via referee stoppage and still WWE Women's Champion: Asuka (2:09)

Boos from the crowd as the announcement is made that Asuka wins via referee stoppage but Asuka isn't relenting AS SHE KEEPS THE ASUKA LOCK LOCKED IN! She is wrenching on the hold as the referee asks her to stop but Asuka is refusing to let go and is looking to really hurt Carmella.

Michael Cole: What has got into Asuka?

Corey Graves: You heard what she said a few weeks ago. She still remembers what Carmella did to her. She remembers Carmella cheated not once but twice to beat her. Asuka clearly held a grudge.

Michael Cole: And that explains why she didn't want R-Truth here. She knew Truth would try to stop her from doing this to Carmella.

Corey Graves: Asuka knew what she was doing tonight.

Asuka is now getting booed by all the fans as the referee tries to pull her off but it is no use. She is just yanking on Carmella as we see BLOOD COMING FROM CARMELLA'S MOUTH! Asuka though refuses to relent as...



Liv Morgan runs out with a kendo stick in hand! She slides into the ring as Asuka sees Liv Morgan coming and finally lets go of the hold as she rolls out of the ring! Liv Morgan though just looks confused and asks Asuka why she did that? Asuka though just shouts back “Revenge Revenge Revenge” as she heads back up the ramp, grabbing her WWE Women's title on the way. She is noticeably clutching her WWE Women's title tightly as back in the ring Liv Morgan shakes her head and checks on her friend Carmella as a series of referees make their way into the ring to check on Carmella.

Michael Cole: Well thank god for Liv Morgan. If she wasn't competing later tonight as part of team Blissmoon who knows what could have happened to Carmella.

Corey Graves: I mean part of me blames Carmella for what just happened.

Michael Cole: What did Carmella do to deserve that?


Corey Graves: You heard Asuka. She remembered what happened the last time they met. And clearly, she has held a grudge since then.

Michael Cole: Carmella said sorry for her actions on Smackdown.

Corey Graves: Sometimes sorry isn't good enough Michael.


Michael Cole: Well whilst our medical team checks on Carmella, we are about to see a dream match as Brock Lesnar takes on Bobby Lashley. Let's see how we got to this point!

-------------------------------------------------
Video package for Bobby Lashley and Brock Lesnar
-------------------------------------------------



The video package comes to an end and we hear the entrance music for the All-Mighty Bobby Lashley as he makes his way to the ring, followed by his hype-man Lio Rush! Bobby Lashley cuts an imposing figure as he walks out and glares at the crowd. Lio Rush carries on praising his main man as they walk towards the ring but Lashley remains focused as he marches towards the ring.

Michael Cole: Dream match is a term thrown around by a lot of people for matches but ever since Bobby Lashley returned to the WWE, fans have wanted to see these two men go head to head.

Corey Graves: Lio Rush may talk a lot but he is right. Bobby Lashley actually has a better record in mixed martial arts competition than Brock Lesnar. And not many men can say that, let alone WWE superstars.

Michael Cole: But is Paul Heyman right? Does Bobby Lashley need better council?



A massive mixed reaction from the crowd as Brock Lesnar makes his way out next and of course, he is joined by the smug as always Paul Heyman. Brock jumps up and down on the entrance ramp as his pyro goes off before heading to the ring. Bobby Lashley in the ring is staring Brock in the eyes as he walks to the ring whilst Lio hypes his main man up.

Corey Graves: I don't know Michael. Since Lio Rush started to help Bobby Lashley he has become a two-time Intercontinental Champion and pushed Seth Rollins to the limit for the Universal title.

Michael Cole: But can Lashley defeat the Beast Brock Lesnar?

Corey Graves: Not many have been able to beat Brock Lesnar since his return to the WWE. A win over Brock Lesnar in my mind would make Bobby Lashley the next number one contender for the Universal title!

Michael Cole: It would be hard to argue with that.

Brock steps into the ring as Bobby Lashley steps forward straight away as the two massive men go nose to nose with each other! Neither man wants to back down as the two managers try to get their man to back off but neither man wants to give any ground up. In the end, Lio pulls Lashley away from Brock which gets a look from Lashley whilst Brock chuckles. Both men end up heading to their individual corners as the referee calls for the bell and this match is underway!

Bobby Lashley w/Lio Rush vs Brock Lesnar w/Paul Heyman

Once the bell rings both men circle the ring as they stare each other down, neither man wanting to make an error early on and give the other man an edge. Both men circle before meeting in the center of the ring as they do a test of strength as both men vie for control. It is evenly matched until Bobby Lashley takes control and looks to go for a FULL NELSON! Brock though powers out of the hold breaking free of the grip Bobby Lashley has on him and clobbers him with an elbow!

Brock Lesnar then grabs hold of Bobby Lashley as he hits him with a GERMAN SUPLEX! The crowd starts up a “Suplex City” chant but Bobby Lashley NO-SELLS THE SUPLEX as Brock turns around laughing! But he ain't laughing for long as Lashley charges at him and hits him with a massive shoulder block sending him into the corner! Lashley follows it up with several shoulder blocks right into Brock's stomach as the commentary team reminds us Brock had to leave UFC due to diverticulitis!

Lashley follows it up as he grabs hold of Brock and tosses him across the ring with a massive belly-to-back suplex! Brock stumbles back to his feet but Lashley comes charging out of the corner wiping him out with a massive clothesline! Lashley makes the first cover of the match 1 Brock powers out with ease!

Brock Lesnar shows off his insane power! He looks fired up as Lashley lands on his stomach and tries to get back to his feet, so Brock charges in and clobbers him with a JUMPING KNEE STRIKE! A brutal knee to the head and Lio understandably looks worried as Brock grabs Lashley and yanks him off the mat as he hits him with a GERMAN SUPLEX! Suplex city is back open as Brock grabs him again and hits him with ANOTHER ONE! Brock isn't done though as he hits him with a THIRD AND FOURTH GERMAN SUPLEX!

The suplex city chants are in full effect as Brock has taken control of the match! Bobby Lashley is struggling on the mat and maybe this dream match is starting to turn into a nightmare. He stands by the ring ropes and uses them to get back to his feet, struggling due to the damage by Brock in the early stages of this match! Brock though isn't willing to let Bobby rest as he charges at him and sends him over the top rope with a CLOTHESLINE!

Bobby falls to the floor as Brock smirks and follows him to the outside! Bobby looks to get some breathing room but Brock follows after him as he lays into Lashley with a couple of clubbing blows before IRISH WHIPPING HIM INTO THE BARRICADE WALL! Brock Lesnar smirks as he walks towards Bobby Lashley as LIO RUSH GETS IN HIS WAY! Brock smirks at first and tells him to move but Lio shakes his head and stays in front of Brock aggravating the Beast. So Brock responds by PUNCHING LIO RUSH!

Brock isn't done there though as he scoops Lio Rush up onto his shoulders for an F5 AS BOBBY LASHLEY SPEARS BROCK LESNAR! Brock falls to the floor and drops Lio at the same time as the hype man lands with a hard thud. Bobby though does give a damn about Lio as he grabs Brock and sends him into the ring post! Bobby isn't done though as he grabs Brock's head and slams it into the ring post several times! Bobby then grabs the stunned Brock and rolls him into the ring as Brock is clutching his mid-section!

Bobby slides back in and grabs Brock Lesnar from behind as he lifts him up off the mat and locks him in an ABDOMINAL STRETCH! Bobby works over the mid-section of Brock who is in pain as commentary once again hypes up the issues Brock has had health-wise with his stomach. Heyman on the outside meanwhile looks concerned for his client. Brock is in a ton of pain but looks like he is about to fight out of the hold so Bobby transitions and lifts Brock into the air before bringing him down onto his knee for a GUTBUSTER!

Bobby follows up with a cover pressing his arm down on Brock's stomach! 1 2 Brock kicks out Bobby though has taken control of this match though as he grabs hold of Brock Lesnar and lifts him off the mat hitting him a POWERBOMB!

Brock kicks out!

Bobby Lashley punches the mat in frustration and looks annoyed that Brock kicked out after the spear.

Brock winces in pain as Bobby has the hold in tight but Brock refuses to tap and instead responds by pushing Bobby backward into the turnbuckles multiple times until he is forced to break the hold!

Brock kicks out

Bobby Lashley look stunned that wasn't enough to pick up the win. He almost looks like he is about to snap as he shakes his head and yanks Brock Lesnar off the mat getting him in position for the RUNNING POWERSLAM... BROCK SLIPS OUT OF IT AND HITS A GERMAN SUPLEX! Bobby flies across the ring as Brock takes a moment to clutch his stomach but as he sees Bobby getting back up Brock leaps onto him hitting him with a DOUBLE LEG TAKEDOWN!

Brock follows it up with several massive forearms as Brock looks to do whatever it takes to stop Lashley but Bobby Lashley starts trying to fire back with punches of his own! This however backfires as Brock Lesnar counters locking Lashley in the KIMURA LOCK! Brock gets the lethal submission hold locked in tight as he wrenches back on Bobby's arm and to make it even worse Bobby is trapped in the center of the ring!

Bobby tries to get to his feet to get out of the hold but Brock pulls him down to the mat with all of his weight and keeps him there as he twists the arm and looks like he might be about to break it. On the outside we see Lio Rush run over as he can see the pain the main man is in. Lashley tries to get up again but can't move as Brock keeps all of his weight down on the arm of Bobby Lashley. Lashley is trapped in the hold and can't escape but he refuses to tap. Lio looks at Lashley and can see the pain in his eyes as he realizes his main man can't escape the hold nor will he tap out without his arm breaking in half...

SO LIO RUSH PULLS A TOWEL OUT FROM HIS POCKET AND THROWS IT IN ON LASHLEY'S BEHALF!

Winner via submission: Brock Lesnar (9:09)

Boos ring out from the crowd as Brock Lesnar lets go of the hold and gets to his feet as he stands victorious in the ring. Lashley grabs his right arm and looks confused until he sees the towel in the ring and Lio Rush bent down on the outside shaking his head on the verge of tears.

Michael Cole: Brock Lesnar picks up the win but Bobby Lashley pushed him to the limit tonight!

Corey Graves: Bobby Lashley matched Brock when it came to strength and dominated a lot of the match. If Brock didn't catch him in that kimura, Bobby Lashley probably wins tonight.

Michael Cole: And maybe he would have found a way out if Lio didn't throw in the towel.

Corey Graves: I don't agree Michael. Lio was looking out for Bobby Lashley. He knows how deadly the Kimura is and we've seen Brock break the arms of superstars before. Lio looked Bobby in the eyes and knew he couldn't escape.

Brock Lesnar has now headed up the ramp as Paul Heyman can be heard gloating at the top of the ramp. Back in the ring, Lashley gets to his feet as Lio Rush slides into the ring as he looks to check on Bobby. Bobby is still clutching his arm as Lio walks over to him but Bobby pushes him over! Lio looks upset as Bobby asks him what he is doing?

Lio puts his hands up defensively and says he was protecting Bobby. Lashley though picks up by the shirt with his non-injured arm and holds Lio Rush in the air as poor Lio looks terrified. Bobby thinks about attacking Lio but just drops him and walks off shaking his head. Poor Lio is left in the ring upset as he tries to follow him to the back begging his main man for forgiveness as we cut to the backstage area.


-------------------------------------------------

We cut to a locker room backstage as we can see Bayley. She looks a little nervous as she is sat down backstage ahead of her last woman standing match later on tonight. We hear the door open as Bayley turns around ready for a fight but we see THE MAN BECKY LYNCH walk in.

Becky Lynch: How you doing champ?

Bayley shakes her head and smiles.

Bayley: Is this where you lecture me about being right all along?

Becky shakes her head and sits next to Bayley.

Becky Lynch: Honestly? Part of me would love to chew you out and I kind of wish I spoke to you sooner but I get it. I used to be just like you Bayley.

Bayley gives her a weird look but Becky carries on.


Becky Lynch: The Man used to be just like you. I used to see the good in everyone. I used to trust the wrong people like Charlotte and Natalya. Hell, there was a time in NXT where I trusted the Boss.

Bayley: Hey the four horsewomen have got to stick together.

Both share a chuckle at that line.

Becky Lynch: But one day, I realized that I couldn't trust people like Sasha Banks or Charlotte anymore. I needed to step out on my own and I've not looked back since.

Bayley: Even if that meant fighting Shayna and her goons by yourself? If you asked me...

Becky Lynch: That's your weakness, Bayley. You're too kind. You're too loyal. You had your own business to take care of. And the most important business of all, becoming the champ.

Bayley smiles as Becky gets to her feet.


Becky Lynch: Promise me three things tonight Bayley. Show me that fight I know you have in you. Make sure no matter what happens, you focus on your title match tonight and most importantly of all,

Becky smirks.

Becky Lynch: Get ready to step in the ring with the Man one more time after you beat Sasha Banks.

Bayley gets to her feet as well.

Bayley: I look forward to it.

Bayley goes for a hug but Becky is too cool for that and instead gives Bayley a nod. Bayley hugs back as we cut back to the ring ahead of the next match.

-------------------------------------------------



We return to the ring as the crowd are welcoming the Twisted Sisters as they walk to the ring as we get ready for the second traditional Survivor Series match of the main show. Isla Dawn takes her time walking to the ring whilst Nikki sprints to the ring in her typical crazy fashion.

Michael Cole: Well we just heard the Man giving Bayley a pep talk ahead of her match with Sasha Banks later on tonight.

Corey Graves: Becky was being too nice with Bayley. Everyone with half a brain like myself saw Sasha betraying her best friend Bayley coming.


Michael Cole: Did you just say you had half a brain?



A pretty decent reaction from the crowd as Liv Morgan makes her way out for the second time tonight after saving Carmella from a further beating. She skips down to the ring though she looks a tad nervous as she steps into the ring with the Twisted Sisters.

Corey Graves: I have an important medical update about Carmella. Earlier tonight we saw Carmella bleeding from the mouth and it seems she suffered some internal injuries in Asuka's heinous assault earlier tonight.

Michael Cole: Well, she has been taken to a local medical facility where they will check on her and we will provide updates on social media once we have them.



A loud reaction from the fans as Alexa Bliss makes her way out and the goddess walks to the ring with a determined look on her face. She poses for the fans before joining her tag team partners tonight in the ring.

Michael Cole: Alexa Bliss and Ember Moon have been in a rivalry with Charlotte Flair from before Summerslam.

Corey Graves: I love the goddess. Hell, I worship the goddess but going against the Queens of WWE is a rare error in judgment.



The last member of team Blissmoon to make their way out, as Ember Moon makes her way out to her usual entrance getting a slightly smaller pop than Alexa Bliss. She has her usual red contacts in her eyes as she looks fired up. She heads to the ring and jumps inside as Bliss smiles standing next to her best friend.

Michael Cole: Ember Moon hasn't hit the heights of her run in NXT but she is starting to find her groove ever since forming an alliance with Alexa Bliss.

Corey Graves: Being around a multi-time Women's champion like Alexa Bliss will do wonders for anyone's career!

Michael Cole: And we know that Ember Moon is one of the few people to push Asuka to the limit.

Corey Graves: But she never quite picked up the win Michael.



And now their opponents start to make their way out, as The Riott Squad Ruby Riott and Sarah Logan make their way out getting boos from the crowd. Both women have a smug look on their faces as they look at their opponents in the ring, with their eyes focusing on Liv Morgan. Both chuckle to themselves as Liv looks angry at being mocked by the pair.

Michael Cole: The Riott Squad in recent times have gone from a trio to a duo when they kicked out Liv Morgan.

Corey Graves: Or as they would put it, cutting the dead weight.

Michael Cole: Well tonight Liv Morgan gets a chance to prove them wrong.

Corey Graves: Or we might be about to see The Riott Squad run riott!



A bit of a subdued reaction from the crowd as most are unfamiliar with KAY LEE RAY. Shemakes her way down the entrance ramp and lifts the NXT UK Women's title in the air. She has a smug look on her face as she joins her teammates The Riott Squad at the bottom of the ramp.

Michael Cole: Now Corey, you're our resident expert on NXT. What do you know about Kay Lee Ray?

Corey Graves: Well as you can see Kay Lee Ray is the NXT UK Women's champion when she defeated Toni Storm at Takeover Cardiff. She has held onto that title for eighty-five days and she is one of the best women's wrestlers in the world period. She is an amazing get for team Charlotte.

Michael Cole: The Queen certainly has an eye for talent.

Corey Graves: That she does Michael.



And last but certainly not least Lacey Evans and the captain of the team Charlotte Flair make their way out in matching attire. Both women have a smug smirk on their faces as they get the most boos out of any of the women so far tonight. They meet the rest of the team halfway down the entrance ramp and lead them to the ring.

Michael Cole: Well we know that Charlotte can't compete for the WWE Women's title whilst Asuka holds it but a win for her team tonight might put Lacey Evans back in line for a title shot.

Corey Graves: And that's why this partnership works for both women. Not only does it give Charlotte the chance to go for the Women's tag team titles but it also means if Lacey beats Asuka, The Queen will get the first shot.

All 10 women are now on the ring apron as Nikki Cross signals to her team she wants to start and she steps into the ring. Charlotte looks at her team and Sarah Logan steps into the ring for the team. The referee calls for the bell and this is underway!

The rest of team Charlotte starts wearing down poor Liv in the corner of the ring, as they isolate Liv and really lay into her for a good 2-3 minutes in the corner with frequent tags. Team Blissmoon look on from the apron annoyed as Nikki paces up and down.

Ruby Riott ends up in the ring with Liv Morgan and after her signature corner kicks she drags Liv Morgan out of the corner and hits her a SAITO SUPLEX! Ruby makes the cover 1 2 Liv kicks out!

Eliminated via pinfall by Kay Lee Ray: Liv Morgan (6:18)

Boos from the crowd as Corey Graves on commentary puts over the cunning of the NXT UK Women's Champion and that kind of opportunism is what has made her the champ. Ruby on the outside is still angry as Liv rolls to the outside herself, having let her naivety cost her. Back in the ring, we see Nikki Cross step inside as she walks up to Kay Lee Rae and asks her if she wants to play?

Kay Lee Rae looks a little unsure how to react so she swings for Nikki...but she runs underneath the champ's arm and bounces off the ropes hitting her with a RUNNING CROSSBODY catching her by surprise. Nikki makes the cover 1 2 Kay Lee Ray kicks out. Nikki though doesn't stop there and lays into her with several wild punches, giving the NXT UK Champion a pummeling.

Loud boos from the crowd as the Queen of Spades makes her way out. She in her usual attire as she a towel around her neck, walking to the ring with a cocky smirk.

Corey Graves: Michael, as someone who is an NXT expert Shayna Baszler's reign as NXT champion was like nothing I've ever seen. She was totally dominant and her presence alone caused terror for some superstars.

Michael Cole: And she has been causing several issues for The Man Becky Lynch ever since coming to Raw.

Corey Graves: Shayna's attack led to Becky losing both her titles at Summerslam.

Michael Cole: Which Becky won initially by pinning Shayna's best friend Ronda Rousey. Do you think revenge could be driving Shayna tonight?


Corey Graves: Oh one hundred percent Michael. She will want to do to Becky, what she did to Ronda and send her into hiding.



A massive pop from the live crowd as the Man Becky Lynch steps out in a Leather Jacket. She stares at Shayna Baszler in the ring and tosses her jacket to the side.

Becky falls to the floor as Shayna takes a moment to grab her right arm and get some feeling back into it.

Shayna though is quick to follow up as she starts laying into Becky with several SHOOT KICKS to the mid-section wearing down Becky early! She gets about 7 or 8 kicks before Becky counters with a KNEEBAR! Becky grabs hold of the right leg of Shayna and wrenches on it stopping Shayna in her tracks. Commentary though do remind us that even if Shayna taps on the outside it won't mean anything till they get back into the ring! Shayna uses her arms to pull herself upright on the barricade and stomps on Becky with the left leg until she lets go of the hold!

Shayna moves away from Becky for a moment, selling the leg whilst Becky grabs her jaw. Shayna though after resting on the barricade for a moment charges in and hits Becky with a RUNNING KICK TO THE HEAD! Becky falls to the mat as Shayna smirks to herself. She grabs hold of Becky and tosses her back into the ring as the former NXT Women's champion looks to go to work. Once inside the ring, Shayna grabs hold of Becky's head and works over her on the mat.

She grinds down Becky as she looks to set up for the Kirifuda clutch as the crowd boos the Queen of Spades. Becky though doesn't stay trapped for too long as she elbows her way free and sends Shayna backward! Becky gets back up touching her neck a moment before grabbing hold of Shayna's right arm and connects with an ARM DRAG bringing Shayna down to the mat as she looks to lock in an ARMBAR but Shayna desperately fights Becky off with a series of hard punches sending the Man backward!

Shayna takes that moment to grab her right arm which is in a bit of pain after Becky's attack early on. Shayna though doesn't waste too much time feeling her arm as she charges at Becky and once again hits her with a RUNNING SOCCER KICK!

Becky is still too fresh and she responds by sweeping the legs out from under Shayna sending her crashing to the match! Becky wails on the Queen of Spades! She keeps Shayna down on the mat after finally relenting as she gets back to her feet, once again rubbing her neck. Becky though looks to run off the ropes and comes back with a BASEMENT DROPKICK TO SHAYNA'S RIGHT ARM!

Becky isn't done though targetting the right arm of Shayna as she grabs hold of it and starts twisting it, really trying to damage the arm and set Shayna up for the dis-arm-her.

Shayna falls to the mat and Becky smiles knowing she is in control as she grabs the right arm and looks to lock in the DIS-ARM-HER early but Shayna clocks her with a boot to the head fighting her off and sends Becky to the outside!

Becky lands with a hard thud as Shayna once again grabs her arm and rolls to the outside as she grabs Becky Lynch from behind connecting with a GERMAN SUPLEX ON THE RING FLOOR! Becky's head lands with a hard thud as Shayna smirks to herself as she lifts Becky off the floor and Irish whips her into the ring post! Becky is stunned and turns around as Shayna follows it up with a RUNNING KNEE STRIKE TO THE HEAD!

Becky slumps down as Shayna smirks enjoying the pain she is inflicting on The Man. Shayna grabs Becky and rolls her back into the ring as she lines her up for the KIRIFUDA CLUTCH... BUT BECKY STILL HAS ENOUGH LIFE TO SLAM SHAYNA BACK FIRST INTO THE CORNER! She rams Shayna a couple of times in the corner of the ring until finally Shayna releases her grip and drops Becky to the mat!

Becky coughs and splutters for a moment, selling just how lethal that move is even when locked in for a few seconds. And due to this Shayna gets to her feet first as she stalks Becky Lynch. She grabs hold of Becky and just starts working over her with a headlock for a few seconds before transitioning into VERTICAL SUPLEX! She drops Becky who lands with a hard thud before following up with a KICK TO THE BACK THE HEAD! Shayna at this point though instead smiles as she has an idea and grabs Becky's left leg!

Shayna starts laying into her with several stomps to the leg before grabbing it and locking her in a KNEEBAR! Shayna is wrenching on the hold as she looks to take away Becky's base so she's unable to fight out of Kirifuda Clutch! Becky is in a lot of pain as she looks towards the ropes and crawls to them grabbing hold of them. Shayna however does let go as there as no rope breaks in this match so Becky uses them to pull herself to the outside of the ring and sends both women crashing to the floor causing Shayna to release the hold!

Once again though Shayna is the first one to her feet as she stalks Becky and hits her with an INVERTED STOMP FACEBREAKER ONTO THE RING FLOOR! A brutal move from Shayna which gets a ton of boos from the crowd. She then grabs Becky by the hair and promises to break her arm... so Becky SLAPS SHAYNA! Shayna falls backward and looks furious as she looks to clock Becky back but The Man catches her punch and reverses into a FUJIWARA ARMBAR ON THE OUTSIDE!

Becky is wrenching and tearing away at the right arm of Shayna on the outside of the ring as Shayna is in a ton of pain. Commentary reminds us that even if Shayna did tap on the outside, it wouldn't count but this move will do tons of damage to Shayna's right arm! Shayna is in a ton of pain as she tries to find a way to escape but Becky keeps on wrenching on the hold on the outside wearing down Shayna's right arm! In the end, Shayna uses her left arm to help get to her feet as she hits Becky with a GUTWRENCH POWERBOMB ONTO THE RING APRON!

Becky's back slams off the ring apron as she slides down to the floor whilst Shayna moves to the side and clutches her right arm which is now in agony after Becky's attack throughout the match. Shayna is in a ton of pain as she grabs Becky by the hair with her left arm and rolls her back into the ring before joining Becky back inside the ring. She stalks Becky from behind as she gets ready to end this with the KIRIFUDA CLUTCH...

But Becky elbows her in the injured right arm until she is forced to let go due to the pain! Shayna stumbles backward clutching her right arm and Becky uses that to her advantage as she plants her with MAN DOWN! Shayna lands on the mat with a hard thud as Becky has to take a moment due to the damage done to her back before looking at Shayna on the floor and tells her “It's time to send you back to Ronnie” as she grabs Shayna's right arm and locks in the DIS-ARM-HER!

Becky locks in the lethal hold on the right arm of Shayna who is in a ton of pain in the center of the ring and has no way to escape! Shayna tries to push up off the mat but is unable to do so as Becky has the hold locked in tight. Shayna then looks to make it to the ropes but again Becky has it on tight and Shayna is completely trapped! Shayna even tries to get off a couple of punches on The Man but Becky is relentless and refuses to let go until she breaks Shayna's arm! Shayna lifts her hand in the air after over a minute in the hold...

AS THE REAL HORSEWOMEN JESSAMYN DUKE AND MARINA SHAFIR RUN DOWN THE RAMP!

Loud boos as Shayna's goons slide into the ring and both attack Becky with several kicks forcing her to let go of Shayna's arm! Shayna rolls away selling the impact of being in the Dis-arm-her for so long whilst Duke and Shafir go to work on Becky.

Duke looks stunned as Becky clocks Duke in the face before grabbing hold of her and hits her with the BEX-PLODER! Becky looks angry and ready to do more damage as she turns around into a SPEAR FROM SHAYNA! Boos from the crowd as Shayna gets to her feet, still clutching her right arm and she looks to her goons who are big shaken as she instructs them to grab Becky as the pair lay a beating on Becky Lynch in the ring as Shayna instruct them and tells them what to do until...

THE DIVAS OF DOOM RUN OUT!

Beth slides into the ring first and clobbers Shayna with a clothesline laying the Queen of Spades out! The two Real Horsewomen Jessamyn Duke and Marina Shafir try to fight the Divas of Doom off but the veterans easily win out and send the Real Horsewomen to the outside as the two teams start to fight up the ramp leaving Becky and Shayna all by themselves in the ring once again. Both women stare each other down as Shayna clutches her arm whilst Becky grabs her neck.

However, Shayna starts to smirks as we see someone in a LEATHER JACKET AND MOTORBIKE HELMET SLIDES INTO THE RING WITH A STEEL CHAIR IN THEIR RIGHT HAND! Becky looks confused as the mystery woman CLOBBERS HER IN THE BACK WITH THE STEEL CHAIR! Becky falls to the mat and turns around as the woman lays into her with the steel chair several times before tossing it to the side. She takes off her helmet and reveals...

IT'S RONDA FUCKING ROUSEY!!!

Becky looks furious as Ronda smiles and looks over to Shayna as they share a fist bump! Ronda meanwhile then turns to Becky who is on the mat still selling the impact of the steel chair and grabs her by the neck and telling her “I'M BACK BITCH”. Becky responds to this as she SPITS IN RONDA'S FACE! Ronda drops Becky who tries to fight back but Ronda jumps on Becky and lays into her with several punches to head! Once she is done she scoops Becky onto her shoulders and hits her with PIPER'S PIT (Spinning Samoan Drop).

Ronda give Becky a death glare whilst Shayna looks on smirking. Becky is struggling on the mat and is barely with it as Shayna grabs her from behind and locks her in a one-arm KIRIFUDA CLUTCH using her left arm! Becky tries to fight out of the hold which what little energy she has left after being attacked by all 4 members of the Real Horsewomen but The Man quickly fades. The referee comes over and lifts her arm up but it just drops! He lifts it again and it drops again! He lifts it a third time...

AND IT DROPS AGAIN!

Winner via submission: Shayna Baszler (14:19)

Nuclear heat from the crowd as Shayna holds on for a good few seconds after the bell before dropping Becky to the mat as Ronda lifts her best friend's arm into the air. Becky meanwhile falls to the mat out cold, with it taking all 4 of the Real Horsewomen to cause her to lose tonight.


Michael Cole: Shayna Baszler picks up the win but a massive assist from her best friend Ronda Rousey.

Corey Graves: I can't believe it Michael. But it looks like Ronda is back and she wants revenge!

Corey is right as Ronda finishes celebrating with Shayna and starts to look at Becky, giving the Man a death glare! She then looks over to the steel chair in the corner of the ring! She grabs hold of it and hits Becky in the back with it several times! She is wailing on Becky until she stops moving but she doesn't stop there. She grabs the prone Becky's left arm and traps it inside the steel chair. Ronda then makes her way to the top rope and JUMPS OFF STOMPING ON THE CHAIR BREAKING BECKY'S ARM!

Michael Cole:
This is... it's sickening.

Corey Graves: I agree Michael. I get Ronda wants payback but I think she wants to end Becky's career.

Ronda doesn't look done but suddenly we see a swarm of backstage officials and security making their way to the ring finally as they look to bring this to a stop. And wisely Ronda leaves the ring, joined by her best mate Shayna as they get the hell out of there, heading through the crowd as the fans reign down heat on Ronda and Shayna. Meanwhile, in the ring we see several medics checking on Becky. She tries to push them away with her right arm but she cannot move her left arm. She looks to the crowd and sees Ronda in it, as she glares at her rival.

Michael Cole: Guys our medical team will try to help Becky and get her some medical attention after the damage done to her arm, let's take a look at the rivalry between Karrion Kross and Finn Balor!

-------------------------------------------------
Video package for next match
-------------------------------------------------

After the video package ends, we return to the ring and we can see it is empty after the medical officials were able to get Becky backstage and potentially to a hospital. However, around the ringside area, we see smoke start to fill the arena as...



The ominous music of Karrion Kross hits, as the harbinger of Doomsday makes his way out and is of course joined by his siren of doom Scarlett Bordeaux. The smoke fills up the ringside area as he slides into the ring as Scarlett hands off him whilst he cuts an imposing presence as he awaits Finn Balor.

Michael Cole: Corey not a lot is known about Karrion Kross, do any of your sources have any information on Kross?

Corey Graves: All the ones who know anything about Kross say one thing: Run. If he comes for you, it means the end is here.



Anticipation builds as the fans get ready for the Prince Finn Balor to make his way out. And eventually, he does cutting his signature pose at the top of the ramp. He stands at the top before locking eyes with Karrion Kross in the ring. He puts his hands in a finger-gun motion before heading to the ring ready for a fight.

Michael Cole: Corey on Smackdown, Finn Balor confirmed he wasn't bringing the Demon King out and Kross would be fighting the Prince instead. Do you think Balor is making a mistake?


Corey Graves: I think so Cole. Maybe he is underestimating the threat Kross is. However, we know how draining on the psyche of Finn Balor bringing the Demon out is. So maybe he doesn't want to bring it out when he doesn't need to.

Finn Balor now steps into the ring as Scarlett Bordeaux heads to the outside and smiles mocking Finn Balor. The smoke has started to clear as the referee calls for the bell and this match is underway!

Karrion Kross vs Finn Balor

As soon as the bell ring as Finn Balor charges at Kross and goes for a DROPKICK but Kross doesn't move! Finn looks a little confused and runs off the ropes as KROSS WIPES HIM OUT WITH A MASSIVE CLOTHESLINE! Kross grabs hold of Finn and tosses him around the ring with several biel tosses, showing the massive difference in size between the two men as Balor is struggling to stay alive already in this match! Kross sends Balor into the corner and charges in as Finn tries to fights him off with several chops and kicks but Kross wipes him out a MASSIVE UPPERCUT!

Balor falls into the corner of the ring slumps over as Kross snarls and batters him with several corner uppercuts! The referee gets to the count of 4 before Kross finally backs away from Balor!

Kross smiles though, happy to inflict more punishment on Balor. He once again picks up Balor looking to toss him across the ring but Balor counters with a FALLIN DDT!

Balor quickly scrambles into a cover 1 Kross powers out! Balor looks shocked at how easily Kross kicked out responds to this by running off the ropes as he hits a BASEMENT DROPKICK! Balor makes the cover 1 Kross powers out again! Balor looks shocked but looks to follow up with several kicks but Kross catches his leg and transitions into a HEEL HOOK! She wrenches back on the right leg of Balor causing the Prince a ton of pain! Balor is in a ton of pain as Kross has a wild smile on his face as he tears away at Balor's leg!

Balor though refuses to give in and crawls to the ropes forcing a break! Kross though keeps the hold on till the count of 4, looking to cause as much pain as possible to Balor before letting go of the hold. Kross, once he releases the hold turns to Scarlett who is loving every moment of this destruction. Balor meanwhile struggles to get to his feet as he turns around into a RISING KNEE STRIKE! Balor gets knocked loppy by the knee strike as Kross tosses him across the ring hitting an OVERHEAD BELLY TO BELLY SUPLEX!

Balor lands with a massive thud on the mat as Kross stalks his prey and signals he is ready to end this as he gets him in position for the DOOMSDAY SAITO... BUT BALOR DESPERATELY ELBOWS HIM OFF! Balor breaks free as he runs off the ropes, slower than normal due to the damage done to his leg by the heel hook but he is still able to connects with a SLINGBLADE! Kross falls to the mat as Balor runs off the ropes and comes back with a SECOND SLING... KROSS COUNTERS WITH A SPINEBUSTER!

Just like that Kross stops Balor in his tracks! Balor falls to the mat clutching his back as Kross drags him off the mat by the neck and hits him with a CHOKESLAM! Balor looks down and out as Kross stands over Balor telling him his time is up. He drags him off the mat and pulls his thumb across his throat as he hits Balor with the DOOMSDAY SAITO! Balor lands on the mat with a hard thud as Kross makes the academic cover

Winner via pinfall: Karrion Kross (3:55)

The crowd are a little stunned by how quickly the match came to an end, as Karrion Kross defeated Balor in minutes. Scarlett Bordeaux walks into the ring and hangs off her man in a seductive manner as he cut an imposing presence, stood over Finn Balor.

Michael Cole: What a display of power from Karrion Kross tonight!

Corey Graves: Finn Balor is a former Intercontinental, NXT and Universal champion. Karrion Kross just beat him in under four minutes! That is insane.

Michael Cole: Maybe time really is up Corey?

Whilst Michael leaves us on that question back in the ring Kross moves away from Scarlett as Balor looks to get back to his feet, still struggling after the beating he has taken tonight. Kross grabs Balor from behind and locks him in the KROSS JACKET (Straight jacket sleeper hold)! Kross yanks Balor in the air as he chokes the life out of him after the match!

Scarlett meanwhile stands next to Finn and tells him “You should have given Kross what he wanted”. Balor's eyes go shut as Kross tosses him to the mat happy with the damage he has done to Balor tonight. Kross stands over Balor as Scarlett bends down and places a tarot card on Finn Balor which says
“FALLEN PRINCE” with Karrion Kross's symbol in red over the picture on the card. Kross and Scarlett then take their leave, with Finn out cold in the ring.


Corey Graves: Kross I think just sent a message to the entire Smackdown roster. If he comes for you, run as fast as you can!

Michael Cole: I think you might be right there Corey. It has been a very chaotic night so far but the chaos is about to continue as we see the Women's Universal title on the line as Sasha Banks defends against Bayley in a Last Woman Standing Match. Let's see how we got here!

-------------------------------------------------
Video package for next match
-------------------------------------------------



A loud pop from the fans as Bayley makes her way out. There is no inflatable tube men as Bayley looks serious as she heads to the ring, in what is arguably the biggest match of her career so far. She does still slap hands with some of the kids in the first few rows but once inside the ring she is all business.

Michael Cole: This all started at Money in the Bank earlier on this year when Sasha Banks attacked Bayley and caused her to miss Money in the Bank, taking her spot later in the night and winning the briefcase.

Corey Graves: I've said this many times over the years but Sasha Banks is not to be trusted. If Bayley had listened to me or hell The Man Becky Lynch, she might have won Money in the Bank and would be champion right now.

Michael Cole: Well speaking of Becky Lynch, she has been taken to a local medical facility to be checked out after Ronda Rousey's attack earlier tonight. They will be looking to see if she has a broken arm.

Corey Graves: And you have to think that whoever wins this match, Ronda Rousey will be next in line for a title shot.



Loud boos though some fans cheer as The Boss makes her way out. She lifts her Women's Universal title into the air. Once she finishes doing that she steps into the ring and comes face to face with her former best friend.

Winner: Draw (17:35)
A stunned reaction from the crowd who boo as both women lay down and out in the wreckage of the tables on the outside of the ring. The referee meanwhile heads to the ringside announcer and confirms his decision.

Mike Rome: This last woman standing match has been declared a draw! So your Women's Universal Champion is still Sasha Banks!

Her music plays as the crowd lets out massive boos, unhappy Sasha Banks was able to escape with her title tonight.

Michael Cole: By hook or by crook Sasha Banks escaped with her title tonight!

Corey Graves: Credit to Bayley tonight. She pushed Sasha Banks to the limit tonight and showed a side of her we never normally see.

The title is passed to Banks who is only just crawling out of the wreckage as she smirks and hugs her title tighter than she has ever held it before. Meanwhile, Bayley is starting to get back to her feet as she looks furious. She then looks at the Boss who is crawling with the title and SNAPS CHASING AFTER BANKS! Loud cheers from the crowd as Bayley starts wailing on Sasha Banks and beats her down on the outside!

Michael Cole: Bayley has snapped!

Corey Graves: Listen I hate Sasha Banks but Bayley is being a sore loser! She couldn't get up in time and...


Michael Cole: Corey you might want to take a look at the titantron, as we have another angle of the closing stages of the match!

We then cut to the titantron as we see Bayley nearly getting to her feet at the 9 count BUT SASHA BANKS SWIPED HER LEGS OUT FROM UNDER HER OUT OF THE REF'S VIEW! And now the crowd who didn't already see that are 100% behind Bayley as she batters Sasha Banks on the entrance ramp. Sasha is trying to crawl away from the Hugger but Bayley isn't letting her get away this time.

A swarm of referees try to stop Bayley as Banks crawls towards the edge of the ramp and smirks...
LIFTING HER TITLE IN THE AIR! Bayley though sees red and breaks free SPEARING HERSELF AND BANKS OFF THE STAGE DOWN CRASHING DOWN BELOW! A massive crash can be heard after the landing as Paige comes out and sees what's happened as she calls for a medic. A bunch of medics rush out as we cut back to the commentary team at ringside.

Michael Cole: I have a feeling Bayley isn't done with Sasha Banks just yet.

Corey Graves: You might be right Michael but it seems like things are getting pretty chaotic in the Women's division Raw. Look what Ronda did to Becky earlier tonight as and you have to think she will want a shot at the Women's Universal title as well!

Michael Cole: You might be right there Corey. Whilst our medical team checks on Banks and Bayley, we have Renee Young backstage for a backstage interview.

-------------------------------------------------

Reene Young: It's been a very busy night already for the Ungovenables but I'm just going to try to get a word with the Universal Champion Andrade ahead of his title defense later on tonight.

Renee tries to walk into the Ungovenables locker room but Zelina Vega steps in front of her.

Zelina Vega: I know what you're trying to do. My client is getting ready for his first-ever pay-per-view title defense. Whatever you want to ask him you can ask me.

Renee rolls her eyes but an interview is an interview.

Renee Young: Your client Andrade faces a tough challenge as he takes on three former World champions in AJ Styles, Rey Mysterio, and Seth Rollins. How does he plan on walking out of the match as champion when he could lose his title without being pinned?

Zelina Vega: You think I'm giving away any strategy? My client will win because he is the best in the World. He will find a way to keep hold of the title against the unfair odds.


Renee Young: One more question Zelina. After Team Black's win tonight and Brock Lesnar's win as well, are you worried this adds even more challengers to the ever-growing list of people gunning for Andrade's title?

Zelina shakes her head and heads back into the locker room, slamming the door shut in Renee's face pretty much giving her an answer to Renee as we cut back to the ring.

-------------------------------------------------



A massive pop from the live crowd as two-thirds of the New Day make their way to the ring as they look to become six-time tag team champions tonight. They are without their friend Kofi Kingston who is backstage getting ready for the 7 vs 7 main event but both men look ready to get down to business.

Michael Cole: The New Day have been the standard-bearers for the tag team division over the last few years.

Corey Graves: But they have never defeated the Revival in two on two action!

Michael Cole: That's correct Corey but tonight The New Day look to break that streak and prove there are the best tag team in the world at the moment.

Corey Graves: However Michael there are new top guys in the tag team division!



Boos from the crowd as the WWE tag team champions The Revival make their way out. They lift their tag team titles proudly in the air as they lock eyes with The New Day in the ring. They pass their titles to the timekeeper as the usual pre-match announcements are done. We then see Xavier Woods step into the ring for The New Day whilst Dash Wilder steps into the ring for The Revival.

Woods does keep trying to fight back but the champs cut him off each time. Woods looks like fighting back out of the corner but Wilder cheap shots him from the apron to loud boos from the crowd.

Big E seeing this tries to get back into the ring but the referee stops him. This gives the Revival the chance to cheap-shot Woods behind the referee's back using the tag rope to choke Woods a few times. Loud boos from the crowd as the referee turns around just as The Revival stop cheating and they carry on working over Woods in the corner wearing down his leg.

Winners via pinfall and still WWE tag team champions: The Revival (17:38)

Boos from the crowd but The Revival don't give a damn as they get to their feet and celebrate a massive win over the stalwarts of the tag team division over the last few years. Big E is only just coming to after being hit with the Big Rig and sees The Revival celebrating, as he knows they have come up short once again against the Revival. The Revival meanwhile grab their titles and lift them into the air celebrating their victory.

Corey Graves: The Top Guys did it!


Michael Cole: The Revival proved how good they are tonight as they beat The New Day!

Corey Graves: They came into tonight looking to prove they are the best tag team in the world and they backed it up tonight, beating the team who have been the foundation of the tag team division.

The Revival head up the ramp and celebrate as Big E helps Woods gets back to is feet. Both men look upset before sharing a hug and getting a few New Day rocks chants from the crowd.

Corey Graves: I wonder what is next for The New Day after coming up short tonight.

Michael Cole: Well we still have Kofi taking part in tonight's main event against Team Shane but right now, The Universal title is on the line as Andrade defends his title against Seth Rollins, AJ Styles and Rey Mysterio. Let's look how we got here!

-------------------------------------------------
Video package
-------------------------------------------------



A loud pop from the crowd as Rey Mysterio makes his way out to the ring first. He touches masks with the kids in the crowd as he walks down the ramp, looking to become a world champion for a fifth time tonight!

Michael Cole: At Armageddon Rey Mysterio achieved one of his lifelong dreams and won a world title in Mexico when he beat Seth Rollins for the Universal title. However, Andrade soon turned his dream into a nightmare, chasing in the Money in the Bank briefcase to steal the title from him.

Corey Graves: Andrade didn't steal anything. Winning Money in the Bank allows him to cash in whenever he wants and he took full advantage of that thanks to the genius of Andrade.


Michael Cole: Well tonight, Rey has the chance to take back the title he lost and gain a measure of vengeance against Andrade.



A massive mixed reaction from the crowd as AJ Styles walks out. He is joined at the top of the entrance ramp by the Good Brothers. They too sweet their leader before heading backstage per Paige's ruling that anyone who gets involved in this match will be fired. AJ walks down the ramp and once inside the ring he has a staredown with Rey Mysterio.

Corey Graves: But unlike Rey, AJ Styles actually beat Andrade at Armageddon!

Michael Cole: You're right Corey. AJ Styles did beat Andrade at Armageddon and if he can pin him again, he can become a three-time World champion.

Corey Graves: AJ has traveled the world and won gold everywhere. Tonight he can become the champion of the Universe and show that the Club are taking over Raw.

Michael Cole: The Ungovenables might have something to say about that.



Once again, we get another massive mixed reaction though it is surprisingly more boos than cheers as Seth Rollins makes his way out. Seth Rollins poses for the crowd and does his usual entrance before heading to the ring, eyeballing Rey and AJ Styles two men who he has had issues with over the last few months.

Michael Cole: People have started to call Seth Rollins, Monday Night Rollins over this last year and it's easy to see why.

Corey Graves: You've got that right, Michael. He beat Brock Lesnar not once but twice. Most people can't even get a win over the Beast once let alone twice.

Michael Cole: Not only that but he managed to hold on to his Universal title for six months taking on numerous challengers before losing to Rey in Mexico.

Corey Graves: And I feel, on any other night in any other city Seth Rollins would have beaten Rey Mysterio. But can he get his title back tonight?



And last but certainly not least, The Universal Champion Andrade Cien Almas makes his way out. Zelina Vega joins him at the top of the entrance ramp and gives him some instructions before he heads to the ring. All 3 three men in the ring are staring the Champion down, all looking to get a piece of him for different reasons as the usual title introductions done all along.

Michael Cole: But this is the man to beat. Ever since winning Money in the Bank back in May, Andrade has been on a roll only losing one singles match and that was the same night he won the Universal title!

Corey Graves: Agreed Michael, Zelina saved Andrade's career down in NXT and now she has led him to the top of Monday Night Raw!

The pre-match introductions are finished off as each man heads to a corner of the ring as the referee calls for the bell and this match is underway!

But he falls just short of breaking the cover!

Winner via pinfall: Andrade Cien Almas (15:59)

Boos ring out from the crowd as Seth Rollins was fingertips away from breaking the cover but he falls just short of stopping Andrade from retaining his title tonight. Andrade though doesn't care as he gets to his feet and demands he is passed his Universal title belt!

Michael Cole: Say what you want about him but Andrade was in the right place at the right time and has held onto his Universal title tonight!

Corey Graves: Beating three former World champions to hold onto that belt shows how good he is. Zelina Vega only picks the best clients.

Michael Cole: But throughout the match, all three of his opponents looked liked winning at one point.

Corey Graves: You might be right Michael but only one man is walking out with the Universal title!

Andrade Cien Almas is now on the entrance ramp as he is joined by Zelina Vega who lets out a smile, happy her most prized client picked up the win tonight. Back at ringside, we cut to each of the challengers one by one. AJ Styles is throwing a tantrum in the ring, Rey Mysterio shakes his head disappointed whilst Seth has a blank expression and looks at the fans before looking at Rey Mysterio.

Michael Cole: Well it has been an action-packed night but up next we have our main event as Team Shane takes on Team Triple H.


Corey Graves: The losing team's captain will be removed from power. Let's look at how we got here!

-------------------------------------------------
Video package
-------------------------------------------------



A massive pop as we return to the ring as The Game HHH makes his way out in a business suit as he heads towards the ring. He takes a seat on a chair adjacent to the destroyed announce table ahead of this match.

Michael Cole: Tonight is a massive night for Smackdown and will define the future of the show.

Corey Graves: And it will be glorious when Shame McMahon's team wins. It will be a new era with opportunities for the those who deserve it!



Loud boos from the crowd as Shane McMahon makes his way out to the ring with a crutch to help him walk, slowly limping as he walks out thanks to his injury (EWR Injury) but he still does an attempt at the Shane McMahon shuffle. Shane McMahon slowly heads to the ring before taking a seat at the opposite side of the announce tables.

Michael Cole: I'm not sure I want to see Shane's vision for the future of Smackdown Live. Look how good NXT is.

Corey Graves: Exactly Michael. HHH has one brand he has to focus on, he doesn't need two brands to focus on!



A pretty decent pop especially from the hardcore fans in attendance as Pete Dunne makes his way out. The young Brit has his mouth-guard in as he poses at the top of the ramp before heading to the ring. Pete though takes his time and instead heads towards Shane McMahon promoting Shane to lift the crutches up ready to defend himself as Dunne shakes his head smirking and slides into the ring.

Corey Graves: And this is the kind of future Triple H is promoting! A world where the wrestlers are threatening officials.

Michael Cole: Pete Dunne only attacked Shane on Friday after he and Jinder Mahal attacked him!

Corey Graves: Jinder wanted Pete to show him the correct respect and Shane was protecting the talent which is his job!



A decent reaction from the crowd as The Miz and John Morrison make their way to the ring. The Miz is all business and just walks straight to the ring, whilst John Morrison poses and does his usual entrance and does the slow-motion entrance before joining Miz and Morrison inside the ring.

Michael Cole: This will be personal for Miz. Ever since Shane McMahon turned his back on him and attacked his dad, he has been looking for revenge.

Corey Graves: Miz didn't live up to the best in the world's standard so he ditched him. I feel for John Morrison, he is now being dragged down by his tag team partner.

Michael Cole: John Morrison came back to WWE to help his friend The Miz.

Corey Graves: And to win titles, which he hasn't been able to do since he started fighting Miz's battles for him!



A large pop as Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens make their way out. Both men look at each other before heading to the ring, with Kevin Owens and Sami both looking serious ahead of this match. They join Miz in the ring and share a fist bump with him as Dunne looks on nodding.

Michael Cole: Well we just spoke about Miz's issues with Shane McMahon but these two men have had issues with Shane McMahon for years.

Corey Graves: Kevin Owens attacked Vince McMahon, the owner of the company and Shane's dad. Why would Shane treat him fairly after that?

Michael Cole: Maybe Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn saw how power-hungry Shane was before everyone else did?



A massive pop as the former WWE Champion Kofi Kingston makes his way to the ring. The crowd let out a few “NEW DAY ROCKS” and “Kofi” chants as he makes his way to the ring. He shares a few words with Miz, KO, and Zayn once inside the ring whilst Dunne and Morrison watch on.

Michael Cole: Kofi Kingston was cost his WWE title by the Corporation when Shane McMahon got involved and helped Roman win the title.

Corey Graves: Listen Kofi was a great WWE champion. He defended that belt against all challengers but Shane wanted a champion who could be the face of the brand. Roman is that champion.



And the loudest pop so far as Drew McIntyre slowly marches out, ready for war! He takes his time as he walks to the ring, as he has an ice-cold stare on his face whilst the crowd cheer him on going wild. Once inside the ring he nods and acknowledges his teammates but stands to the side by himself as he gets ready for a fight.

Michael Cole: Well, the other man who was screwed in that match, Drew McIntyre is out for revenge as well.


Corey Graves: But this is the problem. He doesn't know how to be a team player. Look at his fight with Kevin Owens.

Michael Cole: Well Triple H will be hoping they got that out of their system as he warned them there would be consequences if they cost his team the match.

Corey Graves: Yeah because Drew McIntyre and Kevin Owens are famous for listening to instructions.



Loud boos from the crowd as the first member of Team Shane makes his way out to the top of the entrance ramp but wisely he stays at the bottom of the entrance ramp instead of joining Team Triple H inside the ring.

Michael Cole: Jinder Mahal joined Team Shane as he looks for revenge on Pete Dunne tonight.

Corey Graves: He is also a former WWE Champion and knows Drew McIntyre inside out!

It hurts my soul every time I remember Jinder Mahal was a WWE champion.



The War Raiders make their way out next as Hanson and Rowe cut an imposing presence as they stand next to Jinder Mahal, towering over the former WWE champion.

Michael Cole: Two men who love war. And are responsible for ending the career of Matt Hardy.

Corey Graves: They warned the Hardys what would happen if they went to war again. And there is a reason they have been a key part of the authority.

Michael Cole: They are former WWE and NXT tag team champions. These two men not only know how to work as a team but to dominate their opponents.



A massive mixed reaction as the Viper Randy Orton makes his way down the entrance ramp. He slowly walks to the ring as he looks at the men inside before joining his tag team partners on the entrance ramp.

Corey Graves: Randy Orton might just be the wildcard in this match Michael.

Michael Cole: No man has a better record when it comes to traditional Survivor Series elimination matches than the Viper Randy Orton.

Corey Graves: And he also knows if he helps Team Shane win, he will get the next shot at the WWE title.

Michael Cole: But will that cause tension within Team Shane from the WWE Champion Roman Reigns?



Loud boos from the crowd but once again the smarks in the crowd cheer as the planet Champion Daniel Bryan and his ally Erick Rowan make their way out. Daniel Bryan has his planet champion title with him as he makes his way to the bottom of the entrance ramp. We then see Erick Rowan stood next to Hanson and Rowe looking as tall as those two men.

Corey Graves: Daniel Bryan and Erick Rowan have spent months trying to save the planet but are constantly criticized by the fans for it!

Michael Cole: Well I don't agree with his methods for convincing people but tonight he might be able to help lead Team Shane to victory and get rid of Triple H.

Corey Graves: We all know the history Daniel Bryan and Triple H have.



And the loudest reaction so far tonight goes to Roman Reigns as the WWE Champion marches out soaking in the boos from the live crowd. He has a smug look on his face before lifting the WWE title in the air, almost taunting the crowd. He walks down the entrance ramp, standing front and center with Team Shane before leading them to the ring.

Michael Cole: Roman Reigns turned his back on the WWE Universe when he joined the Corporation as they helped him become WWE champion at Summerslam.

Corey Graves: In Roman's eyes, they turned their back on him years ago. He only earned their love when he recovered from leukemia.

Michael Cole: Either way, Roman is another man who has history with Triple H just like Daniel Bryan and Randy Orton.

Corey Graves: Gives Team Shane even more reason to win tonight and remove Triple H from power.

In the ring we see the two teams talking about who will start the match. After some brief discussion Drew McIntyre signals he will start for Team HHH whilst Jinder Mahal steps into the ring for Team Shane. The referee calls for the bell and this match is underway!

A massive pop from the crowd as Kofi rolls off Roman Reigns and leans on the ropes, exhausted after the war he went through tonight to remove Shane McMahon from power. On the outside, Shane McMahon is starting to come to and hears the cheers from the crowd as he knows what that means!


Michael Cole: After over an hour Kofi Kingston is the sole survivor and that means Shane McMahon is removed from power!

Corey Graves: Michael why are you so happy? This is a disaster! Triple H is going to bring chaos to the show. Shane was going to bring order.

Back in the ring, HHH heads inside as he grabs Kofi’s arm and lifts it into the air. Kofi nods we hear a massive pop from the crowd as THE NEW DAY make their way out getting an ovation from the crowd. They jump into the ring as they hug their boy. They then lift Kofi into the air and place him on their shoulders (though Woods struggles at first due to his leg). The pay-per-view comes to a close as we see Shane McMahon trying to lean on Roman but the WWE Champion pushes him away not giving a damn about him before cutting back to The New Day celebrating in the ring as we fade to black.

I'm quite glad a lot of people on the other forum predicted Ronda Rousey to return as I didn't want it to feel out of nowhere and unearned. Main event took over a week to write lol

No wonder.

You have a good direction going for Andrade and Aleister Black. That's one of your Mania Matches. The Royal Rumble is gonna be a throw up for the WWE title

Yes she will however I'm still to book as I planned to up until that point because it would unrealistic for me to know she is pregnant months before it happens. But yes real life pregnancies will be kept in.

No wonder.

We will have to see. Unlike real life Andrade and Black are massive part of my plans.

Predictions contest:

Wolf Beast: 17

Terry Gyimah: 16

Chris: 15

News update:

Massive title match made official for Starrcade:

We have just learned hours before tonight's Raw that Raw commissioner Paige has made the following Women's Universal title match official: Sasha Banks vs Ronda Rousey vs Bayley. Paige has announced on Twitter that Ronda Rousey's contract guaranteed her a rematch for the title she lost at Wrestlemania upon her return. Paige though feels due to the controversial finish to the Last Woman Standing match at Survivor Series, Bayley also deserves another title shot and has made a triple threat match between Banks, Ronda, and Bayley at Starrcade. Who will walk out of Starrcade as the Women's Universal Champion?

Number one contender's match signed for Raw:

However, that's not the only blockbuster match made by Paige. She has also made for tonight's main event, Seth Rollins vs Rey Mysterio with the winner becoming the number one contender for the Universal title at Starrcade. Both men faced off last week with the match finishing in a no contest and at Armageddon with Rey Mysterio becoming Universal champion. Who will win tonight and go on to face Andrade at Starrcade?

Sin Cara granted release from the company:

Sin Cara of the Lucha Dragons has left WWE. This comes after the Luchador requested his release from the company unhappy with his current direction. He was placed in a feud with The Authors of Pain as a way to convince him to stay but before last week's Raw, he once again requested his release. The angle on Raw was designed to write him off TV. It is currently unknown what plans are in place for Kalisto in the future and whether he will be used in the Cruiserweight division.

Reason for Tucker's injury:

Tucker has been taken off TV for a few months with a kayfabe injury. This has been done to give the pair a feud upon his return with The Revival but also give Otis a few months on his own and see how well he does. WWE sees him as someone with potential in the mid-card in the future as a singles star.

Plan for Nikki Cross to head to NXT UK for a short feud

The last update involves the NXT UK Women's title. Kay Lee Ray made her first-ever main roster appearance last night as part of Team Flair before being pinned by Nikki Cross. Expect Nikki to pull double duty for a month or so as she is expected to get a title shot at the next UK Takeover event in a fatal 4-way as well as Piper Nevin and Toni Storm.


Matchcard for Starrcade:

December 15th:
Cincinnati, Ohio



Women's Universal title triple threat match:

Sasha Banks (c) vs Ronda Rousey vs Bayley

Universal title match:
Andrade Cien Almas (c) vs Seth Rollins or Rey Mysterio

World tag team titles match:
The Authors of Pain (c) vs The Street Profits or The Good Brothers

Monday Night Raw:
November 25th:
Chicago, Illinois

We start the show with the usual video recap of the key events from Survivor Series with Aleister Black leading his team to victory, Brock Lesnar beating Bobby Lashley as Lio Rush threw the towel in for him. We see Andrade hold onto his Universal title again Rey Mysterio, Seth Rollins, and AJ Styles. Last of all, we see the finish of Bayley versus Sasha Banks and then we see Ronda Rousey making her return costing Becky Lynch her match against Shayna Baszler. The promo package finishes as we cut to the commentary team stood at the top of the ramp in front of their commentary desk.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Michael Cole: Hello and welcome to Monday Night Raw, as we are one night removed from Survivor Series. And pardon the pun but what a big show it was.

Big Show: You've got that right.

Big Show chuckles at the terrible joke.

Big Show: And after Ronda Rousey's return to the WWE plus the conclusion of the Last Woman Standing match last night we will see the Women's Universal title defended in a triple threat match as Sasha Banks takes on Ronda Rousey and Bayley.

Michael Cole: A blockbuster main event for sure but you have to wonder what state Sasha Banks and Bayley will be in at Starrcade in three weeks time.

Big Show: That's right Michael as I've gotten word from our commissioner herself that due to the injuries sustained in their last woman standing match Sasha Banks and Bayley will not be here tonight!

Boos from the crowd who are disappointed they won't hear from either woman tonight.

Michael Cole: But they should hopefully be back on next week's show. However tonight we have two matches with massive implications for Starrcade!

Big Show: That's right in our main event we will see Rey Mysterio take on Seth Rollins with the winner fighting Andrade Cien Almas at Starrcade!

Michael Cole: And The Good Brothers take on The Street Profits with the winners facing The Authors of Pain at Starrcade for the World tag team titles!

*GANGSTER'S PARADISE*

A mixed reaction but it is mostly boos as Andrade Cien Almas makes his way out joined by his manager Zelina Vega. Andrade is in a crisp suit and tie as he walks out. Andrade has a smug smirk on his face as he has the Universal title over his shoulder. Both look happy even if Zelina Vega's other clients suffered a setback last night.

Michael Cole: Whilst The Ungovenables suffered a setback when they lost to Team Black last night, Andrade was able to defeat three former World champions.

Big Show: Zelina will not have been happy about her team losing but her main client is still the Universal Champion. But he will have to face one of the two men he didn't pin last night at Starrcade.

Zelina Vega and Andrade are now in the ring as they wait for the fans to die down a little before speaking.

Zelina Vega: Now, I'm not going to pretend last night went completely to plan.

Zelina shakes her head as Andrade nods with a stern look on his face.

Zelina Vega: And it looks like some of my clients need to learn how to work together as a team. But that is the risk you take when you hire the best individuals!

Boos from the crowd as Andrade says in Spanish “The Best”.

Zelina Vega: However the most important thing, the single most important thing is Andrade walked out of Survivor Series as Universal Champion!

Andrade on cue lifts the Universal title in the air and shows it off to the booing crowd.

Zelina Vega: However it seems Paige didn't see what happened last night as Andrade will be defending his title against someone he's already beat. Seth Rollins.

Mixed reaction from the crowd though it is starting to get closer to boos.

Zelina Vega: Or Rey Mysterio.

Nothing mixed about the reaction for the legendary Rey Mysterio.

Zelina Vega: The legend whose dream we turned into a nightmare!

Massive heat for that line.

Zelina Vega: But no matter who Andrade faces, the result will remain the same!

Andrade lifts his title into the air as the crowd boos the champion.

Zelina Vega: It wouldn't matter if it was Brock Lesnar or Aleister Black...

*ROOT OF ALL EVIL*

Say the devil's name and he shall appear. The crowd let out a massive pop as the sole survivor in his war with Team Ungovenables makes his usual entrance. He cuts a stotic figure as he stands at the top of the entrance ramp with a microphone in hand whilst Zelina Vega and Andrade Cien Almas look on unimpressed.

Aleister Black: Zelina, you say my name as if it doesn't send chills down Andrade's spine. Did you forget who ended his reign as NXT Champion?

Pop from the crowd whilst Andrade scowls, glaring at Aleister Black.

Zelina Vega: Andrade isn't the same man you beat in NXT.

Aleister Black: He looks the same to me.

Zelina looks furious as Black carries on.

Aleister Black: But me? I'm a patient man. I can wait until after Starrcade to get my shot at Andrade.


Zelina Vega: What makes you think you're worthy of a shot at El Idolo?

Aleister Black: I lead my team to victory beating all of your other clients. One by one they all faded to black.

Zelina looks to speak but Andrade signals for the microphone as he has something to say.

Andrade Cien Almas: You think you can match me? No one can beat me! This is my brand now!

Black remains stoic as the camera pans behind him as we see SHINSUKE NAKAMURA sneaking up behind him.

Andrade Cien Almas: And you didn't beat all of us at Survivor Series...

Shinsuke tries to sneak attack Black but he's ready for the attack as he swings around and HITS HIM WITH BLACK MASS! Shinsuke drops to the floor like a sack of spuds. Black turns back around looking annoyed as he faces Andrade in the ring.


Aleister Black: Last I checked it was just you left.

Andrade shakes his head.

Andrade Cien Almas: You want a shot at me? You'll have to go through him!

Andrade smirks as DOMINIK DIJAKOVIC appears and clobbers Black from behind with a LARIAT! Loud boos from the crowd as Zelina Vega and Andrade smirk in the ring. Dijakovic lays into Black with several forearms, imposing himself on the Dutch Destroyer. Black though starts to fight back with several kicks however his momentum is soon cut off by Andrade with a BELT SHOT TO THE HEAD!

Loud boos from the crowd as Djiakovic takes control from here whilst Andrade checks on Shinsuke Nakamura to make sure he is OK. Dijakovic meanwhile drags Black off the floor as he hoists him above his head hitting him with FEAST YOUR EYES! Black falls to the floor as Dijakovic smirks. Zelina nods whilst Andrade says something in Spanish and tells Dijakovic to finish him!

Dijakovic obliges as he makes his way over to the commentary desk and starts to tear it apart! He tosses the monitors to the side before squaring up to Big Show! Both men have a staredown as Dijakovic tells him to move. Big Show doesn't flinch but Michael Cole eventually pulls Big Show out of the way. Shinsuke and Andrade bring Black over to the table as Dijakovic scoops him up and
CHOKESLAMS HIM THROUGH THE ANNOUNCE TABLE!

Loud boos from the crowd as Aleister Black is left laid out in the wreckage of the announce table. We see Andrade smirking to himself as Shinsuke is still a little woozy after being clocked with Black Mass. Dominik Dijakovic meanwhile glares at Black and poses over him. Zelina though instructs him to come over as Andrade once again lifts his Universal title into the air as we cut to the commercial break.

-----------------------------------------------------------------
Ad break
-----------------------------------------------------------------

When we return from the commercial break, we see Renee Young stood ready for an interview.

Renee Young: Would you please welcome my guest at this time the Cruiserweight Champion Mustafa Ali!

The Cruiserweight champion walks into the scene, limping slightly due to the damage done by Noam Dar last week. However even with the limp the Cruiserweight Champion is all smiles.

Renee Young: Last week you successfully defended your Cruiserweight title against the Scottish Supernova Noam Dar in a two out of three falls match. How is your leg feeling after that encounter?

Mustafa Ali: I'll be honest. It's nowhere near one hundred percent right now but the most important thing is I still hold this. And now I can focus on the next challenge.

Renee Young: Anyone you want to face in particular?

Mustafa Ali: There is one name who I want to face...

???: Are you really wasting your time on him?

The camera pans over to show Zelina Vega walking into the show with Andrade, Shinsuke and Dijakovic. Mustafa Ali though shows no fear and stands his ground.

Zelina Vega: I mean this is what a real champion looks like.

Mustafa Ali: Does a real champion take advantage of a weakened opponent? Does a real champion profit off a legend's work to win a match?

Zelina Vega: My client didn't break any rules. He did what was best for him.

Zelina steps forward and tries to put her hand on the Cruiserweight title but Ali pulls it away from her.

Zelina Vega: But maybe you don't know what it means to be a champion.

Mustafa Ali: Oh I know exactly what it means to be a champion. Setting an example for kids watching at home. Doing things the right way. But that's not something you are familiar with?

Mustafa Ali walks forward and looks Andrade in the eye.


Mustafa Ali: I mean look at what you just did to Aleister. Couldn't handle him showing up your clients so you got your muscle to beat him down.

Mustafa Ali then walks away as Andrade looks to go after him but Zelina puts her hand out stopping him. She turns to him and says:

Zelina Vega: Tienes suficientes problemas de los que preocuparte. Deje que alguien más lo entregue.

Andrade looks annoyed but nods as we cut back to the commentary team at the top of the entrance ramp, stood in front of their ruined announce table.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Michael Cole: Mustafa Ali not showing any fear for the Ungovenables, almost like yourself?

Big Show: Listen just because I'm a commentator doesn't mean I'm going to be pushed around by anyone Michael. The Ungovenables may think they run this show but if they mess with me again, they will find out why you don't anger a giant.

*OMEN IN THE SKY*

Boos from the crowd as The Good Brothers make their way to the ring, mean-mugging the camera and they are noticeably without their leader AJ Styles as they step inside the ring.

Michael Cole: Over the last couple of months these two teams have been at each other's throats dating back to Backlash where The Good Brothers cheated to hold onto their tag team titles.

Big Show: And since then, The Street Profits have been on their tail even being involved when The Good Brothers lost their tag team titles to the Authors of Pain.

*BRING THE SWAG*

Cheers from the crowd as The Street Profits as they make their way out to the ring. They have their red cups in hand as they share a fake toast with each other before tossing the empty cups to the fans at ringside (wonder if it would fetch anything on eBay).

Michael Cole: The Street Profits have time and again been this close to becoming tag team champions not only on Raw but also on NXT. A win tonight and they are one match away from becoming champions.

Big Show: But will either of these teams be able to defeat The Authors of Pain and take their tag team titles?

Once inside the ring, Angelo Dawkins steps inside for the Street Profits whilst Luke Gallows steps into the ring for The Good Brothers as the referee calls for the bell to get this match underway!

Match 1: Number one contender's match: The Good Brothers vs The Street Profits

Match summary: This match starts up with a fast pace as both teams look to batter each other due to their rivalry over the last few months. The Good Brothers though take control of the match and isolate Angelo Dawkins as they work over him in the corner of the ring as the match builds to the hot tag! As the beating goes on Dawkins eventually breaks free and makes the tag bringing Montez Ford back into the match! Dawkins is fired up and the Street Profits take control. They isolate the legal man Luke Gallows as Dawkins lifts Gallows into an electric chair position as Ford dives off the top rope hitting GALLOWS WITH A BLOCKBUSTER! Ford makes the cover as Dawkins cuts Anderson off with a SPEAR. 1 2 3 The Street Profits are going to Starrcade!

Winners via pinfall: The Street Profits (12:17)

A loud pop from the crowd as The Street Profits get to their feet and share a hug with each other in the center of the ring. They start to party in the ring as on the outside The Good Brothers look on furious.

Michael Cole: The Street Profits pick up the win!

Big Show: They finally picked up the win over The Good Brothers and now they are going to Starrcade to take on The Authors of Pain!

Michael Cole: Will The Street Profits finally get their hands on tag team gold?

The Street Profits in the ring carry on partying to the crowd's delight as we cut to a commercial break.

-----------------------------------------------------------------
Ad break
-----------------------------------------------------------------

When we return from the commercial break, we see Rey Mysterio stood in front of a wall as he gets ready to speak.

Rey Mysterio: Last night, I was this close to becoming Universal Champion again.

Rey lifts two fingers up showing how close he was to getting his title back.

Rey Mysterio: And that's disappointing as I know I ain't got long left.

Rey sighs and looks down at the ground for a moment before looking at the camera.

Rey Mysterio: I'm forty-four and with injuries I've suffered throughout my career, I'm not sure how much longer I can carry on.

Rey clenches his fist.

Rey Mysterio: Which means I need to take advantage of every opportunity. Every chance to win the Universal title could be my last.

Rey looks off to the side.

Rey Mysterio: Winning the Universal title in Mexico should have been the greatest moment of my career. Instead, Andrade turned that moment into a nightmare.

Rey shuts his eyes clearly angry as he remembers what happened to him at Armageddon.

Rey Mysterio: And that's why I need to win. What Andrade did to my son, him taking my moment. I need to face him one more time and take back the Universal title. And Seth...

Rey takes a moment as he thinks about what he's going to say next.

Rey Mysterio: Maybe Edge is right and you haven't changed. But it doesn't matter because nothing will stop me from facing Andrade at Starrcade. Nothing in this world.

We see Rey Mysterio staring at the camera before we cut elsewhere backstage.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

We see Fire and Desire are walking through the backstage area. Sonya is marching out front with a purpose as Mandy Rose follows behind, struggling to keep up with her tag team partner and best friend.

Mandy Rose: Sonya, we have a match later on tonight. I think we should wait till after that to do...

Sonya Deville: No, I ain't waiting any longer. Shayna's going to pay and no one is going to stop me.

We then see them approach a door which says “RONDA ROUSEY” on the front of it getting a massive mixed reaction from the crowd. Sonya bangs on the door.

Sonya Deville: Oh Shayna, I know you're in there. So come out right now!

The door opens but it isn't Shayna Baszler who answers. It is Jessamyn Duke and Marina Shafir who step forward. Sonya doesn't back down and Mandy steps forward too backing up her friend, still looking a little nervous.

Jessamyn Duke: Shayna's not in here, so buzz off. Ronda doesn't want to be disturbed by anyone right now.

Marina Shafir: So leave.

Sonya Deville: Or what?

Mandy Rose puts her hand up pulling Sonya back a moment as she tries a different tone.


Mandy Rose: We want to speak to Shayna about ditching us last week.

Jessamyn Duke: What part of she isn't here don't you understand?

Sonya squares up and gets in Duke's face.

Sonya Deville: Well you two will have to do instead.

However, as she says that we see SHAYNA BASZLER clobber Mandy Rose from behind! Mandy Rose falls over as Sonya turns around to attack the Queen of Spades but Duke and Shafir pounce on Sonya laying into her. Sonya puts up a good fight but the numbers game soon leads to her being overwhelmed as Shayna plants Sonya with a GUTWRENCH POWERBOMB onto a production crate! Mandy tries to get up but Shafir and Duke take her down as they hit her with a DOUBLE SUPLEX SLAMMING HER ON THE FLOOR! Both members of Fire and Desire look in pain as the door opens once again and we see Ronda Rousey stood there!

Ronda Rousey: This is our show now. Know your place!

The rest of the Real Horsewomen smirk as they walk into Ronda Rousey's locker room and the door shuts as we cut to a commercial break.

-----------------------------------------------------------------
Ad break
-----------------------------------------------------------------

When we return from the commercial break, we cut to the commentary team who are once again stood in front of the wreckage of their desk.

Michael Cole: Well as we saw just before the commercial break Ronda Rousey is already making her presence felt once again on the Raw roster.

Big Show: And now she is back, with Becky Lynch out of action I don't see who can stop the Real Horsewomen.

We then cut to the ring as we see Zack Ryder and Heath Slater stood in the ring ready for a match.

*PAIN*

Boos from the crowd as the World tag team champions The Authors of Pain walk out cutting an imposing presence. They have their tag team titles slung over their shoulders as they focus on their opponents in the ring.

Michael Cole: Well speaking of domination up next we are about to see the World tag team champions The Authors of Pain in action. Let's hear what they had to say upon finding out they would be facing the Street Profits at Starrcade!


-----------------------------------------------------------------

We cut to an inset promo as The Authors of Pain tower over the camera looking angry as always.

Akam: Last week, we showed everyone what happens when you try to take these from us.

Rezar: We drove Sin Cara out of the company and left his partner Kalisto all alone.

They let out a rare smile as Akam carries on.

Akam: But the Street Profits didn't heed the warning.

Rezar: The only thing you won is pain.

The Authors of Pain lift their tag team titles into the air.

Akam: The pain of failure.

Rezar: The pain when we slam your bodies down to the mat.

Akam: The pain when you learn you just aren't good enough to take these titles from us.

Rezar: The pain when you end up in hospital after we finish with you!

Akam: Get ready for the next chapter...

Rezar: In pain!

The promo comes to an end as we cut back to the ring as we see Akam starting for the champions whilst Zack Ryder steps into the ring starting for his team.

Match 2: The Authors of Pain vs Heath Slater and Zack Ryder

Match summary: This is a short match with Heath Slater and Zack Ryder getting a few hope spots during the match but neither man keeps it up for long. Akam and Rezar tosses them around with ease before hitting Slater and Ryder with the SUPER COLLIDER! Akam pins Heath Slater and The Authors of Pain pick up the win.

Winners via pinfall: The Authors of Pain (4:28)

A dominant win for the World tag team champions as they get to their feet. They look at Zack Ryder and Heath Slater before posing with the belts. Lucky for them the champions are happy with the win tonight.

Michael Cole: Another win for The Authors of Pain who have looked unstoppable since returning to Monday Night Raw.

Big Show: I have a lot of respect for the Street Profits but I struggle to see how they find a way to dethrone The Authors of Pain. They could be in for a lot of pain.

The Authors of Pain stand tall in the ring as they celebrate with their titles in hand as we cut backstage to the Raw commissioner Paige's office.


-----------------------------------------------------------------

She is taking care of some business as we hear the door get booted open! The camera pans over and we see AJ Styles walking into the room, followed by The Good Brothers with each one selling the damage from their loss to The Street Profits earlier on tonight. Paige looks up from her desk and sighs upon seeing The Club.

Paige: What brings you to my office AJ? If it's another tag team title shot for The Good Brothers the answer is no.

Karl goes to speak but AJ stops him.

AJ Styles: I want to know why I'm not in the main event tonight. Unlike Rey and Seth, I've beaten Andrade one two three in the middle of that ring!

Paige shakes her head.

Paige: And he pinned you one two three last night so that's why you're not in the match. Now I'm very busy and I don't have time to argue with you AJ.

AJ throws his arms into the air.

AJ Styles: I can't believe it. It shouldn't have even been a fatal four-way.

Paige: Well the decision has been made AJ so if you don't mind...

There is a knock on the door as the camera pans over to show Seth Rollins, getting a mixed reaction from the crowd. He and AJ stare each other down after their on-off again rivalry the last few months over the Universal title.


Seth Rollins: Hey Paige, if now's not a good time I can come back later to find out the details for my next make-a-wish.

Paige: No it's fine Seth. AJ was just leaving.

AJ looks at Seth.

AJ Styles: You may have some people fooled but you ain't a good person. Edge is right.

Seth shakes his head.

Seth Rollins: Y'know AJ I'm done rising to the bait. Edge may be a legend and he may think I'm just like him but I'm not. I'm a better person than Edge.

A lot of heat from the live crowd for that line.

Seth Rollins: And unlike you, I actually deserve to be in that number one contender's match tonight. Rey and I didn't get pinned...

Seth prods AJ in the chest.

Seth Rollins: But you... you did.

AJ steps forward and gets right in Seth's face as Paige gets up from her desk.

Paige: AJ, leave now or there will be consequences.

AJ glares at Seth for a few seconds before walking off. The Good Brothers follow suit but AJ stops at the door and turns back to Seth.

AJ Styles: You'll pay for disrespecting me.

AJ then leaves the room as Seth turns back around and looks to speak to Paige about business as we then cut elsewhere backstage.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

We cut back to the same locker room door we saw earlier on tonight and it swings open, as RONDA ROUSEY walks out. She takes a moment but she is soon joined by the rest of the Real Horsewomen SHAYNA BASZLER, JESSAMYN DUKE, AND MARINA SHAFIR! She nods and they start walking down the hallway as they head to the ring!

Michael Cole: I'm just getting word from backstage after the commercial break, we are going to hear from Ronda Rousey after she made her shocking return to WWE at Survivor Series. Don't go anywhere!

-----------------------------------------------------------------
Ad break
-----------------------------------------------------------------



We return from the commercial break, as Ronda Rousey marches to the ring followed by Shayna Baszler, Jessamyn Duke, and Marina Shafir. Ronda unlike the video I posted is angry and she gets mostly loud boos after taking out The Man Becky Lynch last night.

Michael Cole: Last night, we saw not only the return of Ronda Rousey but we also saw her take out The Man Becky Lynch breaking her arm.

Big Show: Ronda Rousey disappeared from WWE after losing to Becky at Wrestlemania but last night she got her revenge. And we don't know how long Becky could be out of action for after Ronda's attack.

Michael Cole: And not only that but she has a shot at the Women's Universal title in three weeks time when she faces Sasha Banks and Bayley in a triple threat match!

Big Show: I worry for Sasha and Bayley. Will they let their issues with each other distract them and make it easy pickings for Ronda? Can Banks escape with her title one more time? Or will Bayley finally get her revenge on Banks?

All four women are in the ring as we see Ronda Rousey and Shayna Baszler stood in the ring in front of Jessamyn Duke and Marina Shafir as they look to address the live crowd.

Ronda Rousey: The bitch came back!

A massive mixed reaction once again with some cheers sprinkled in because Ronda did a swear. She snarls at the crowd.

Ronda Rousey: Thanks but I don't need your approval.

Cheap heat but it is getting the fans against her so it works as Ronda carries on.

Ronda Rousey: All I've heard for months is where's Ronda? Where's Rousey? Where is she? Well unlike you people I have a life outside of wrestling.

Ouch Ronnie.


Ronda Rousey: I've been busy with acting projects and spending time with my husband. Hell, I was ready to leave this all behind so I didn't have to deal with you people!

Ronda points at the crowd as she scowls.

Ronda Rousey: Do you know how long I tried to win your approval and be a hero to you people only for you to spit in my face?

Ronda sucks” chants start up as Shayna shakes her head.

Shayna Baszler: How about you people show some respect?

That furthers wind the fans up as Ronda thanks Shayna before carrying on.

Ronda Rousey: You even cheered someone who consantly attacked and mocked me unprovoked!

This starts up a “Becky, Becky” chant as Ronda smirks?

Ronda Rousey: Well I've got some bad news for you because she ain't going to be here tonight after I broke her arm in two!

Nuclear heat as Ronda and the gang chuckle to themselves feeding off the boos from the crowd.

Ronda Rousey: For all of her talk, all of the insults and all the times she ran her mouth, she never quite managed to break my arm! Yeah she pinned my at Wrestlemania, congratulations! But you didn't stick to your word did you Becky?

Ronda starts to pace around the ring as she continues.

Ronda Rousey: You think you sent me into hiding but I choose to take some time off. Yet you couldn't keep my name out of your mouth.

Ronda pauses for a while before smiling.

Ronda Rousey: Because without me you're nothing!

Loud boos from the crowd as Duke and Shafir pipe in off-mic “It's true”!

Ronda Rousey: I sat at home, trying to start a family with my partner and all I would hear week in week out was Becky talking about me.

Ronda frowns once again before composing herself.

Ronda Rousey: So I made a call to one of my best friends.

Shayna smirks and nods as the crowd boo the Queen of Spades. Shayna steps forward looking to speak now.

Shayna Baszler: Now Sasha Banks can call herself the Champion on Monday Night Raw and Asuka can call herself the champion on Friday Night Smackdown but without me, neither would be champion.

Shayna smirks as the crowd boos Shayna.

Shayna Baszler: I cost Becky both belts and I toyed with her for months until the time was right and Ronnie could get her revenge.

Shayna and Ronda share a fist bump.

Ronda Rousey: And now Becky? You get to watch from a hospital bed as I take back my title!

I think you mean a local medical facility Ronda.

Ronda Rousey: Sasha Banks, Bayley and hell Charlotte don't think I've forgotten about you! You ain't the horsewomen, we are the horsewomen and Sasha at Starrcade I take my spot at the top of this division back.


Shayna Baszler: To anyone else who wants to get in our way, especially Fire and Desire this is our division now. We're just allowing you to live in it!

Ronda Rousey and Shayna Baszler toss their microphones to the side as they step out of the ring leaving Jessamyn Duke and Marina Shafir in the ring.

*NO REST FOR THE WICKED*

A decent pop and maybe louder than usual since these two are coming out after Ronda's rant, Taynara Conti and Xia Li make their way out ready for action tonight.

Michael Cole: Well strong words from Ronda Rousey but right now we are about to see Jessamyn Duke and Marina Shafir take on Conti and Xia Li with the winners entering a number one contender's match for the Women's tag team titles next week against the winners of Divas of Doom and Fire and Desire.

Big Show: But you have to wonder what state Fire and Desire will be in after the attack by The Real Horsewomen earlier on tonight.

Michael Cole: Agreed Big Show but we will find out one of the teams moving onto the match next week after this commercial break. Don't go anywhere!

Ad break

Match 3: Number one contender's qualifying match: Xia Li and Taynara Conti vs The Real Horsewomen w/Ronda Rousey and Shayna Baszler

Match summary: When we return from the commercial break we see Conti wrestling Duke and you can tell the crowd aren't into it as Conti is still green and Duke is well Duke. In the end, Shayna Baszler climbs onto the apron distracting the ref allowing Ronda to sneak in and hit PIPER'S PIT ON CONTI! Xia Li comes in looking to attack Ronda but Sharif takes care of her. The referee turns back around and Duke makes the cover picking up the win thanks to Ronda Rousey!

Winners via pinfall: The Real Horsewomen (6:32)

Boos from the crowd as The Real Horsewomen move onto next week's number one contender's match for the Women's tag team titles. Duke and Sharif both get their arms raised by Ronda Rousey and Shayna Baszler in the ring as all four women share a smug smirk.

Michael Cole: The Real Horsewomen pick up the win but you have to give the assist to Shayna Baszler and Ronda Rousey.

Big Show: I think this could be the start of an era of domination for the Real Horsewomen and they could take over the Women's division on Monday Night Raw.

Back in the ring, Xia Li and Taynara Conti are just coming to as Ronda nods at The Real Horsewomen and they pounce beating the two rookies down. They lay a beating on Xia Li and Taynara Conti giving them a beating. Shayna and Ronda grab Conti and Xia Li respectively as they hit a GUTWRENCH POWERBOMB AND PIPER'S PIT EACH! They lay out Xia Li and Taynara Conti as The Real Horsewomen stand tall in the ring as we cut elsewhere backstage as Charly Caruso is stood ready for an interview.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Charly Caruso: It's been an eventful night so far but right now would you welcome my guests at this time The Usos!

Jimmy and Jey make their way onto the interview set looking hyped up.


Jimmy Uso: Hey Charly, how you hanging?

Jimmy slaps hands with Charly who smiles.

Charly Caruso: Now earlier on tonight we saw the Street Profits beat The Good Brothers to earn a shot at the World tag team titles. Any thoughts on that?

Jey Uso: We dig it uce.


Jimmy Uso: We always want fresh blood, fresh competition. Otherwise, things get stale for us Uce.

Jey Uso: So to see a new team as hot as the Street Profits getting a shot, that makes us excited to get back to the top.

Jimmy Uso: After being on lockdown for months, stuck in my own penitentiary we're ready to work our way back to the top of the tag division and lock everything down!

Charly Caruso: Well you guys made a strong start to your return to the tag team division by leading your team to victory surviving with Drew Gulak. Do you think your issues with EC3 are over?

Jey Uso: Yeah after last night, we're done with those fools and it's time we focus on getting the tag team titles around our waists one more time.

Jimmy Uso: And now we start that by...

???: No no no

The camera pans over to show Oney Lorcan walking into the shot with a scowl on his face as he points at the Usos.

Oney Lorcan: That win last night means nothing. Once Danny is back, we're becoming tag team champions.

Jey Uso: Really Uce? Well till he's back you can both get to the back of the line!


Jimmy Uso: But since you want to fight, how about me you and go next week?

Oney glares at Jimmy.

Oney Lorcan: You're on but don't blame me when I put you back on the shelf.

Oney Lorcan storms off still angry as The Usos do a fake scared motion as we cut to a commercial break.

*ELITE*

When we return from the commercial break, a pretty loud pop as Chad Gable makes his way to the ring and he is joined by his manager Kurt Angle. We even get a few “YOU SUCK” chants from the crowd welcoming Kurt Angle in signature fashion.


Michael Cole: We know how desperate Chad Gable has been to get a rematch with Samoa Joe for the United States title.

Big Show: And he might have just earned it last night as he pinned Samoa Joe last night eliminated him from the Team Black vs Team Ungovenables match.

Michael Cole: You know Samoa Joe ain't going to be happy.

Big Show: I mean Michael, could we be looking at the man who is going to bring his era of domination as United Stats Champion to an end?

Chad Gable and Kurt Angle stand in the ring as they smile enjoying the cheers from the crowd. Gable asks for a microphone as he is passed it by a stagehand and looks to address the fans.

Chad Gable: Last night I did what I always knew I could do. I pinned the United States Champion Samoa Joe in the middle of the ring!

A loud pop from the crowd as Kurt Angle nods in the background like a proud father.

Chad Gable: And it's all thanks to your training.

Kurt looks so happy to hear those words from Chad as he places a hand on his chest before asking for the mic. Gable is happy to pass him the microphone to Kurt.

Kurt Angle: Hey the training wouldn't have worked without such a great student. And now you're ready to become the American hero you were meant to be, by becoming United States Champion.

A loud pop from the crowd as Chad nods along before taking back the microphone.


Chad Gable: Well we know what the fans think about that so now all we need is...

*DESTROYER*

Samoa Joe walks out with the United States title on his shoulder, in a foul mood as he stands at the top of the entrance ramp. He has a microphone in hand and doesn't waste any time.

Samoa Joe: Cut my music. I SAID CUT MY DAMN MUSIC!

Joe's music is quickly cut as Joe shows an anger we've rarely seen out of him since becoming United States Champion.

Samoa Joe: Last night, you got lucky.

Loud boos from the crowd as Joe carries on pacing up and down at the top of the entrance ramp.

Samoa Joe: You may have pinned me but that ain't the same as beating me one-on-one!

Joe lifts the United States title into the air.

Samoa Joe: I have held this belt for two hundred and sixty-five days. Do you know how many people have beaten me one-on-one? No one!

Joe is still furious as he paces up and down at the top of the ramp.

Samoa Joe: Last night was a fluke! A blemish on my record that I will correct with great prejudice!

Gable perks upon that line as he steps forward and leans over the ropes.

Chad Gable: Does this mean I will get my United States title match?

Cheers from the crowd as Joe stops pacing and glares at Gable in the ring.

Samoa Joe: Yes.

A loud pop from the crowd as Gable finally gets his wish and will get a rematch for the United States title.

Samoa Joe: At Starrcade!

Boos from the crowd wanting to see the match tonight but Joe once again paces up and down.

Samoa Joe: But I will warn you Chad, be careful what you wish for because you might just get it!

Samoa Joe drops the microphone after giving Gable an ominous warning and heads backstage whilst Gable watches on, happy to be finally getting his second chance at the United States title in 3 weeks.

Michael Cole: Big Show, I'm getting word from Paige that Samoa Joe is right and at Starrcade Chad Gable will face Samoa Joe for the United States title.

Big Show: Joe has held that title for nearly nine months and looked unstoppable. Gable last night was one of the few people to make him look human. Can he do it again?

Michael Cole: We will find out but up next the Divas of Doom make their return to the ring against Fire and Desire, don't go anywhere!


-----------------------------------------------------------------
Ad break
-----------------------------------------------------------------

*GLAMAZONE*

A pretty decent pop from the live crowd as The Divas of Doom make their way to the ring, after missing over a month out of action due to Shayna breaking both their arms.


Michael Cole: Both these women have won the Women's title multiple times but they have yet to get their hands on the Women's tag team titles since reuniting.

Big Show: But a win tonight, gives them the chance to earn a title shot at Starrcade next week but a measure of revenge against the Real Horsewomen Jessamyn Duke and Marina Sharif.

*GOLDEN GODDESS*

A decent pop from the fans after their recent problems with The Real Horsewomen. Neither Mandy Rose nor Sonya Deville look in the best shape after the attack earlier tonight by The Real Horsewomen. They gingerly walk to the ring as Sonya steps into the ring ready for a fight. Natalya meanwhile steps into the ring for the Divas of Doom.

Match 4: Number one contender's qualifying match: Fire and Desire vs Divas of Doom

Match summary: Early on Natalya seems unwilling to take advantage of the state Fire and Desire are in which pisses Sonya off as she tells Nattie to square up. Beth at this point demands to step in and she has no problem running through Sonya Deville and Mandy Rose. The Divas of Doom stay in control and in the end the damage done earlier on tonight proves too much as Beth Phoenix hits Mandy Rose with the GLAM SLAM for the win!


Winners via pinfall: Divas of Doom (8:21)

The Divas of Doom get to their feet after the match as they pose for the crowd celebrating the win tonight.

Michael Cole: The Divas of Doom advance to next week's number one contender's match against the Real Horsewomen!

Big Show: But credit must go to Fire and Desire for the fight they put up even after the attack by The Real Horsewomen earlier tonight.

Back in the ring, both members of Fire and Desire are on their feet as Beth nudges Natalya. They both turn around to face Fire and Desire as they stick their hands out for a handshake. It takes a moment but Fire and Desire nods as they shake hands with the veterans before leaving the ring.

Michael Cole: A nice show of respect from two of the best teams in the women's division.

Big Show: The Divas of Doom were clearly impressed by the performance of the former champs tonight.

Michael Cole: Whilst these two teams showed great sportsmanship, let's cut to someone who didn't show that after last week.

Big Show: That's right. Charly Caruso tried to get Noam Dar's thoughts after his loss last week. Let's take a look.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

We cut to last week as we see Noam Dar is heading to the car park with his luggage. He's holding his neck after being locked in the Koji clutch by Mustafa Ali. He puts his luggage in the car as Charly Caruso appears.

Charly Caruso: Dar I just wanted to get...

Noam Dar: Listen sweetheart I'm not in the mood. Give me ya number some other time.

Charly looks disgusted.

Charly Caruso: No I was going to ask how you are feeling after your loss to Mustafa Ali tonight after you called his victory over you a fluke?

Noam Dar slams the trunk shut, causing Charly to jump back a little.


Noam Dar: Get out of here ya dafty. I don't want to talk right now.

Dar climbs into his car and once again slams the door before driving off bringing the interview to an end as we cut back to the commentary team at ringside.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Big Show: Noam Dar needs to learn some respect.

Michael Cole: Dar maybe a talented kid but he lacks respect for others.

The camera then cuts to Lio Rush who is making his way to the ring, noticeably without Bobby Lashley.


Michael Cole: Well up next it looks like we are going to hear from Bobby Lashley's hype man after his loss to Brock Lesnar. Do not go anywhere!

-----------------------------------------------------------------
Ad break
-----------------------------------------------------------------

*I CAME TO COLLECT*

We return from the commercial break, as the crowd don't react at first unfamiliar with Lio Rush's theme song but once the cocky hype man makes his way out they reign down boos. However, there is none of the usual boasting from Lio Rush who looks quite downbeat and upset as he walks to the ring.

Michael Cole: Last night we saw a match people have dreamed about for years as Brock Lesnar beat Bobby Lashley


Big Show: But on another night it could have easily been Lashley walking away with the win. He matched Brock Lesnar for power which is something even I couldn't do and I'm a giant.

Michael Cole: Well, next week we will hear from Paul Heyman and Brock Lesnar as they discuss what's next for the Beast Incarnate after his victories over Bobby Lashley and Aleister Black in successive pay-per-views.

Lio Rush is now in the ring as he asks for a microphone from someone at ringside. He takes it from them and makes his way to the center of the ring. Lio takes a moment to sigh before speaking.

Lio Rush: Last night...

Lio once again pauses as he sighs before trying to speak again.

Lio Rush: Last night I did what I thought was best for my friend.

Lio really does look upset as he looks down at the mat.

Lio Rush: Can the people in the back roll the footage?

Lio points to the titantron and as requested we see the footage of the end of the Lesnar vs Lashley match. We see Brock counter Bobby's punches locking him in the kimura and Lio Rush reluctantly throws in the towel seeing his friend trapped. We cut back to the ring as Lio Rush leans on the ring ropes as he shakes his head and sighs.

Lio Rush: Last night I did what I had to do to protect my friend.

Lio shakes his head as he looks disappointed to have done it.

Lio Rush: I knew if I didn't throw in the towel... Brock was going to break his arm!

Mixed reaction from the crowd as some agree and others disagree.

Lio Rush: And I knew how bad for Bobby's bottom line that would be. I knew I had to protect my... his investments and I had to save him from the beast.

Now more people are booing Lio as the Cruiserweight carries on.

Lio Rush: Bobby was in the heat of the moment and he didn't know what was good for him. All he's ever talked about is me getting him to face Brock and I knew he wouldn't see sense. I did what I did to protect Bobby from himself.

Mixed reaction again as Lio Rush looks to carry it on but...

*DOMINANCE*

Another mixed reaction as the imposing Bobby Lashley makes his way out with lots of tape around his right arm after being locked in the Kimura. He does not look happy as he steps into the ring and demands a microphone. Lio meanwhile steps forward trying to calm his “friend” down.

Lio Rush: Listen Bobby what I did last...

Bobby Lashley: Shut it!

A mixed reaction from the fans as Lio looks scared as Lashley towers over him.

Bobby Lashley: Do you know why I joined up with you almost a year ago?

Lio nods.

Bobby Lashley: So you could get me a match with Brock Lesnar.

Lio Rush: And I did, I did. I got you the match with...

Bobby grabs the microphone from Rush and tosses it from the ring!


Bobby Lashley: I’ve had to spend months and months and months listening to you talk! So how about for once you listen!

Lashley towers over Lio Rush terrifying him.

Bobby Lashley: I let you constantly running your mouth and get me into trouble as you promised you could get me a match with Brock Lesnar. I even let you costing me the Intercontinental title go!

Referencing when he lost the Intercontinental title because Finn Balor pinned Lio Rush.

Bobby Lashley: I knew it would all be worth it when I finally got my hands on Brock Lesnar and beat him. But you took that away from me!

Lio off-mic can be heard saying he was going to break your arm!

Bobby Lashley: And you should have let him!

Bobby Lashley grabs Lio Rush by his shirt lifting him into the air.

Bobby Lashley: You are the reason I lost to Brock and now you are going to...



A massive pop from the crowd as BRAUN STROWMAN appears at the top of the entrance ramp. Bobby Lashley looks in shock as we haven't seen Braun for over a month after Lashley took him out. He puts Lio Rush down and turns towards the entrance ramp as he gets ready for a fight and Braun ain't waiting as he sprints to the ring! He climbs inside and the two hosses starting trading blows in the center of the ring. Both men battle as Braun takes control thanks to the damage done the Lashley's right arm last night.

However, as he looks to lift Bobby Lashley up, Lio Rush jumps on Bobby's back trying to stop him! Lio tries to put his arms around Braun's neck but the monster among men wrenches them off him. He then grabs hold of Lio Rush and
BIEL TOSSES HIM OVER THE ROPES TO THE RING FLOOR WITH EASE! Lio lands with a hard bump on the ring floor as Braun turns around as LASHLEY GOES FOR A SPEAR... BUT BRAUN MOVES JUST IN TIME!

Lashley collides with the ring post, furthering damaging his right shoulder with the collision. He falls backward out of the corner selling the damage he just did to himself as he turns around and BRAUN WIPES HIM OUT WITH A CLOTHESLINE! Braun then lifts Bobby Lashley off the mat and places him onto his shoulders. He runs around the ring and plants him with the RUNNING POWERSLAM! Loud cheers from the crowd as Braun signals he is far from done...

BUT A SWARM OF SECURITY GUARDS COME OUT! Boos from the crowd as they look to restrain the Monster Among Men. They look to keep him under control as Lashley slowly gets to his feet but is pulled under the ropes by Lio Rush! Lio is trying to keep the all-mighty safe but Lashley pushes him to the floor and slowly walks off selling the powerslam as more security guards come to the ring to get things back under control.

Michael Cole: Braun Strowman is back and he wants revenge!

Big Show: I've stepped in the ring with Braun and he is not someone you want to piss off.

Michael Cole: Well, it looks like security are going to try to get this under control but when we return EC3 will take on Drew Gulak. Don't go anywhere!


-----------------------------------------------------------------
Ad break

-----------------------------------------------------------------

When we return from the commercial break, we see Bobby Lashley walking through the back. In the background, we see Lio Rush chase after him and catches up to the All-mighty.


Lio Rush: Bobby, my main man...

Bobby turns around and once again grabs Lio Rush by the scruff of his neck.

Bobby Lashley: I suggest you leave me alone. Or else.

Lashley holds Lio in the air for a few seconds before placing him down on the ground and walking off. Lio watches him leaves as he looks at the floor kind of upset as we cut back to the ring and see EC3 stood inside talking to Drake Maverick.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Michael Cole: Well it looks like we might have seen the end of the partnership between Lio Rush and Bobby Lashley.

Big Show: We know how much the match against Brock Lesnar meant to Bobby and for Lio to throw in the towel during that match, well clearly was the final straw for Lashley.

*FOR THE BETTER*

A decent pop from the live crowd as Drew Gulak makes his way towards the ring. We see EC3 talking trash to Gulak as he makes his way to the ring though Drake Maverick wisely leaves.

Michael Cole: Last night was a coming-out party for Drew Gulak. For the last few months, Drew Gulak has been putting on great performances but has come up just short each time. However last night he scored three eliminations including the man he faces tonight.

Big Show: And EC3 demanded a match with him tonight promising to prove last night was a miracle.

Drew Gulak steps into the ring as EC3 carries on talking trash but the submission specialist Drew Gulak looks to get down to business. The referee calls for the bell and this match is underway.

Match 5: Drew Gulak vs EC3 w/Drake Maverick

Match summary: EC3 does a lot of stalling and cheap tricks as he tries to keep Drew Gulak at bay throughout the match. Drew though slowly starts to pick EC3 apart and even Drake Maverick trying to get involved can't stop him as he locks EC3 in the TRAILBLAZER (Figure 7 ankle lock/ Indian Deathlock combination)! EC3 tries to reach the ropes but quickly taps out giving Drew Gulak another win!

Winner via submission: Drew Gulak (6:16)

Drew Gulak gets to his feet as EC3 rolls out of the ring holding his leg as Drew Gulak rushes over to his employer and looks to check on him.

Michael Cole: Drew Gulak with his first singles win in months!

Big Show: He broke his duck at Survivor Series and now he could be set to go on a big run!

Drew Gulak carries on celebrating in the ring whilst Drake Maverick tries to nurse EC3's leg as we cut to the backstage area.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

We see Mia Yim walking through the backstage area when she is stopped by Renee Young who is looking for an interview.

Renee Young: Mia recently on Twitter you have been talking about wanting an opportunity to fight on Raw.

Mia Yim nods.

Mia Yim: Listen I know there are people backstage who are happy to hug the fans or play with their boats but I came here to be number one. I'm not happy sitting in a catering. I want a fight.

Renee Young: Anyone in particular?


Mia Yim: It doesn't matter who it is. It can be Sasha and I'll beat her again. It can be Ronda Rousey. Hell, I'll fight Mickie J... oh wait she can't fight right now.

Mia lets out a troll-like smirk. However, before she can carry on Kairi Sane walks into the shot. She waves at Mia Yim who looks confused.

Mia Yim: What do you want?

Kairi Sane: You wanted a match. I can give you a match. Next week.

Kairi sticks her hand out offering her a handshake as Mia Yim looks at it before shaking her head.

Mia Yim: See you next week.

Mia Yim walks off as Kairi Sane looks at Renee Young a little confused before walking off as we cut to a commercial break.

*VENGEANCE*

When we return from the commercial break, Dominik Dijakovic is making his way out. He is joined by Zelina Vega, Cesaro, and Shinsuke Nakamura. Shinsuke is still rubbing his jaw after being hit with Black Mass earlier tonight

Michael Cole: Well, I'm just getting word from Paige backstage that Mia Yim will take on Kairi Sane next week!

Big Show: Two very talented women will get a big chance to shine next week but right now it looks like Zelina Vega will be joining us.

Zelina takes a seat on commentary next to Big Show and Michael Cole.


Michael Cole: Thank you for joining us Zelina but may I ask where Andrade and Ilja Dragunov are?

Zelina Vega: Both men are attending to other business Michael. Andrade is scouting his two potential opponents at Starrcade and Ilja... well you will find out later.

Zelina smirks to herself as we cut back to the ring and see Dominik Dijakovic cutting an imposing presence.

*HERE TO SHOW THE WORLD*

A decent pop from the live crowd as Dolph Ziggler makes his way out to the ring and he is joined by Rusev and Lana! All 3 walk to the ring as we see Rusev and Ziggler bickering a little on the way to the ring.

Michael Cole: These two men were part of the winning team Black last night but you specifically requested this match tonight.

Zelina Vega: Ziggler had to go for the cheap win. He had to get Dijakovic counted out to eliminate him. Now Dijakovic will prove that was a fluke elimination.

Big Show: It looks like Rusev and Lana aren't done with you either. Does that concern you?

Zelina Vega: Everyone wants to fight the best to make a name for themselves. But they will learn we are the best.

Dolph Ziggler steps into the ring as Dijakovic glares at him. The referee calls for the bell to get this match underway.

Match 6: Dolph Ziggler w/Rusev and Lana vs Dominik Dijakovic w/Cesaro and Shinsuke Nakamura

Match summary: The majority of the match is Ziggler bumping and selling on the mat as Dijakovic tosses him around and batters him throughout. Dijakovic is really pissed off during this match clearly taking the elimination from last night's Survivor Series clash personally. Ziggler does try to fight back but each time is cut off by Dijakovic as Zelina Vega puts over her client. In the end, Ziggler is having a fight back and even goes for the SLEEPER HOLD! Dijakovic is ready for it this time as he slams Ziggler's back into the turnbuckle until he lets go. He then scoops Ziggler up and hits him with FEAST YOUR EYES! Dijakovic makes the cover 1 2 3!

Winner via pinfall: Dominik Dijakovic (7:55)

Boos from the crowd as Dominik Dijakovic makes his way to his feet. Rusev meanwhile slides into the ring to check on his ally of sorts over the last few weeks. On the outside Cesaro and Shinsuke smirk.


Michael Cole: Dominik Dijakovic picks up a dominant win tonight.

Zelina Vega: I told you that last night was a fluke. Ziggler had to resort to cheap tricks to eliminate him and now Rusev will pay the price for being with him


Big Show: What does that mean?

We soon see what that means as Cesaro and Shinsuke Nakamura slide into the ring and start attacking Rusev. The Ungovenables lay the boots into Rusev in the ring as they beat him down. We then see Dominik Dijakovic lifting him up and hits FEAST YOUR EYES TO RUSEV! Rusev and Ziggler are laid out in the ring as Zelina gloats on commentary as we cut to a commercial break.

-----------------------------------------------------------------
Ad break
-----------------------------------------------------------------

We then return from the commercial break as we see Mustafa Ali backstage walking through the back with his Cruiserweight title as he gets ready to leave when he is BLINDSIDED BY ILJA DRAGUNOV! The Mad Russian lays into him with wild punches and strikes to the back taking him down to the floor. Ilja isn't done there though as he climbs on top of a production crate and jumps off STOMPING ON ALI'S RIGHT LEG!

The champion is clearly in a lot of pain as Ilja has a wild smirk. He then grabs hold of Mustafa Ali and lifts him up off the floor slamming him down on the crate with a SIT-OUT POWERBOMB! Ali clutches his back as Ilja Dragunov lines him up for a moment. He points at Mustafa Ali and charges in as he hits him with TORPEDO MOSCOW (FLYING HEADBUTT)! Ali is down and out as Dragunov bends down grabbing the Cruiserweight title as he looks at Ali.

Ilja Dragunov: Disrespect us again and I'll take everything from you!

Ilja stares at the title one more time before placing Ali's title back onto his prone body as we cut elsewhere backstage.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

We see the WWE Women's tag team champions Team Kick (Dakota Kai and Tegan Nox) stood in the performance center as they look at the camera and get ready to speak.

Dakota Kai: These last few weeks we've been a little distracted with a war.

Tegan Nox: And we haven't been able to defend these titles as much as we would like.


Dakota Kai: However now I've gotten payback on Bel-Air for stealing my NXT Women's title I figured it was time we get back to defending these.

Tegan Nox: And we don't want to defend them on one brand. Oh no, we want to defend them on all the brands.

Dakota Kai: Raw

Tegan Nox: Smackdown

Dakota Kai: NXT

Tegan Nox: NXT UK

Dakota Kai: We want to face teams from each brand. And we know Raw are lining up challengers for us but we want to know who Smackdown have for us.

Tegan Nox: But we ain't stopping there. We'll take on any two from Bel-air's team at War Games this Wednesday and hell I think it's time to go home to see who NXT UK has to face us.


Dakota Kai: We are the longest reigning women's tag team champions and we want even more competition.

Tegan Nox: So bring them on as we kick the competition to the curb!

Both women share a fist bump and a smile as we cut to the final commercial break of the night.

-----------------------------------------------------------------
Ad break
-----------------------------------------------------------------

We return from the commercial break and we see Zelina Vega is still at the commentary desk with Michael Cole and Big Show ahead of tonight's main event.

Michael Cole: Zelina, why did Ilja Dragunov cheap shot Ali backstage just now?


Zelina Vega: Ali disrespected Andrade. And when you disrespect Andrade, you disrespect me. No one disrespects me. So Ilja taught him a lesson and my clients are always looking to add more gold to their waists.

Big Show shakes his head clearly disliking Zelina's attitude but looks to change the subject.

Big Show: Well we have just gotten word from our commissioner Paige that at Starrcade Braun Strowman looks for revenge as he takes on Bobby Lashley! Arguably the two strongest men on Monday Nights go head to head!

Zelina rolls her eyes.

Zelina Vega: You clearly missed what Dijakovic was doing earlier tonight!

*GANGSTER'S PARADISE*

Boos from the crowd but some cheer as the Universal Champion Andrade Cien Almas makes his way out. He has a smug look on his face as he lifts the Universal title into the air and shows it off to the crowd. He is in a fancy suit as he grabs a chair and headset sitting next to his manager Zelina Vega.

Michael Cole: Well it looks like we are being joined by our Universal champion. Welcome, Andrade.

Andrade ignores him and carries on getting his headset on.

Big Show: I'm guessing you're out here to do some scouting?

Andrade Cien Almas: Of course I am!

Zelina Vega: Andrade wants to see who he is beating at Starrcade with his own eyes.

*BOOYAKA 619*

Unanimous cheers from the crowd as Rey Mysterio makes his way out to the ring. He steps out to the top of the entrance ramp leading to a brief staredown between him and Andrade Cien Almas. Rey then runs down the ramp and slides into the ring as he waits for Seth Rollins.

Michael Cole: Rey is an icon, a legend. And someone you would have looked up to growing up?


Zelina Vega: Rey is a legend. But he is the past. Andrade is the future!

Big Show: I mean Rey has been proving this last year that he may be in the twilight of his career but he's still got it.

Andrade Cien Almas: Unlike you...

Big Show: What did you say?

Andrade Cien Almas: You heard me.

*BURN IT DOWN/ SECOND COMING*

A mixed reaction from the live crowd as Seth Rollins makes his way out. He does his best to ignore the reaction he is getting from the live crowd as he turns to Andrade staring at him for a moment. Rollins then climbs into the ring as he and Rey have a staredown due to their issues recently.


Michael Cole: Seth Rollins held the Universal title for six months as champion.

Zelina Vega: Until Armageddon and Rey beat him. It didn't matter who held the title, Andrade was walking out as champion.

Big Show: We have never seen Seth Rollins and Andrade face off against each other.

Andrade Cien Almas: Porque me ha tenido miedo.

In the ring, Seth and Rey are still eyeballing each other as the referee calls for the bell to get this match underway!

Main event: Number one contender's match: Seth Rollins vs Rey Mysterio

Match summary: This match starts at a fast pace with a lot of counters, with these two men becoming very familiar with each other over these last few months. During the match, we hear from Zelina Vega about her thoughts on the two men in the ring with Andrade chiming in with a few comments throughout. As we get towards the 10-minute mark, Seth Rollins has taken control but both men end up down on the mat after a double down spot.

However, as this is going on we see THE GOOD BROTHERS make their way out to the top of the entrance ramp. Seth Rollins gets up first and looks confused as the pair walk down to the ring and make their way onto the ring apron. This distracts the referee who tells them to leave as Seth shakes his head and looks to finish the match with the CURB STOMP! He charges in BUT AJ STYLES SPRINGBOARDS OFF THE ROPES WITH A PHENOMENAL FOREARM!

AJ lays out Seth Rollins and leaves the ring heading back through the crowd getting cheers for his attack! The Good Brothers leave now the damage is done and head back up the ramp as Rey comes to. He sees Seth down as he lifts him up off the mat and sends him into the ropes for the 619! Rey follows it up by climbing to the top rope and DROPPING THE DIME! Rey makes the cover and picks up the win advancing to Starrcade!

Winner via pinfall: Rey Mysterio (12:18)

Cheers from the crowd as Rey Mysterio gets to his feet and celebrates his victory tonight as he now will face Andrade at Starrcade. Seth Rollins meanwhile is only just starting to come to in the ring.

Michael Cole: Rey Mysterio picks up the win and will now go to Starrcade to face you for the Universal title Andrade!


Zelina Vega: My client beat him once he will beat him again.

Big Show: We do have to give a big assist to AJ Styles.

Andrade Cien Almas: Maybe Seth shouldn't make so many enemies.

Back in the ring, we see Seth Rollins get to his feet as he looks at Rey and asks “You want to take a win like that?” before storming off leaving a confused Rey Mysterio in the ring. Seth walks past Andrade as the Universal champion heads to the ring. He walks down the ramp as Rey Mysterio sees him coming but Andrade stops on the outside as he sarcastically claps Rey. The show comes to an end as Andrade lifts his Universal title into the air staring down Rey Mysterio as the show fades to black.

Friday Night Smackdown:
November 29th:
Birmingham, Alabama

Smackdown starts with a video package going over the main event of Survivor Series with all the twists and turns (Jinder going out in 9 seconds, Drew getting screwed over by a bitter Orton, Dunne breaking Roman's fingers, Owens and Kofi fighting back against the odds and Kofi being the sole survivor). The package comes to an end as we see a smiling HHH as the usual Friday Night Smackdown Introduction start.


-----------------------------------------------------------------

*KING OF KINGS*

A massive pop from the live crowd as the sole Smackdown Live Commissioner Triple H makes his way out. He walks to the ring in a business suit and looks very smug as he walks towards the ring having gotten rid of Shane McMahon from power.

Byron Saxton: It's Friday Night and you know what that means. Welcome to Smackdown Live.

Corey Graves: And it looks like we are going to be hearing from the Smackdown Commissioner Triple H to start the show after the events of Survivor Series.

Byron Saxton: That's right whilst there were no title changes at Survivor Series, there were seismic changes to Smackdown Live as Team Shane McMahon lost and he was removed from power.

Corey Graves: A sad day for the land of opportunity, leaving the former leader of the Authority alone in charge of the show.

Byron shakes his head as Triple H is now stood in the ring ready to speak.

HHH: At Survivor Series, the future of this company proved itself.

Cheers from the fans as Triple H smiles.

HHH: Last night wasn't just about who would remain in power but whether the talent would be the stars of the show or the management would be.

Triple H is good at buzzwords.

HHH: Last night I saw talent from NXT show why they are the future. Pete Dunne.

Decent pop for the Bruiserweight.

HHH: Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn.

A much louder pop for the former WWE tag team champions.

HHH: And Drew McIntyre.

A massive pop goes off as Triple H puts his hand up.

HHH: But it wasn't just former NXT superstars proving they are the future.

Triple H shakes his head.

HHH: The Miz and Morrison.

Decent pop for the veteran tag team.

HHH: And Kofi Kingston.

Massive pop from the crowd as a “KOFIMANIA” chant starts up in the crowd. Triple H smiles and plays to it, by lifting his microphone in the air to pick up the chants.

HHH: Which is why I'm making my next announcement. As of next week, I will no longer be the Smackdown Live Commissioner.

Boos from the crowd which Triple H acknowledges.

HHH: The only reason I became co-commissioner was to stop Shane McMahon's abuse of power. And after Survivor Series, I'm not needed.

Still some boos as Triple H leans on the ropes.

HHH: And I need the time to keep working on the future of this company with NXT.

That gets the fans cheering again.

HHH: But I'm still in charge of this show for one more night!

Loud pop from the fans.

HHH: In tonight's main event, I'm giving our champion Roman Reigns the chance to speak and explain what's next for him.

Boos from the crowd for the mention of Roman Reigns.

HHH: However I can announce his next challenger is Kofi Kingston and he will finally get his rematch for the WWE title shot at Super Showdown!

Massive pop from the crowd as Bryon reminds us Kofi never got a rematch after being screwed out of his title just over 3 months ago.

HHH: But that's not all. Kofi wasn't the only person screwed out of a title by the Corporation! Which is why at Super Showdown The Revival will put their tag team titles on the line against Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn!

Cheers from the crowd.

HHH: Miz and Morrison had a simple request after their victory at Survivor Series. They wanted a rematch with The War Raiders due to the lack of result the last two times the teams have met in the ring and that has been granted for later on tonight!

More cheers as the fans are happy to see two of the best tag teams on Smackdown collide.

HHH: Drew McIntyre requested one thing. Randy Orton.

Mixed reaction from the crowd.

HHH: However he is not here tonight. So instead I've given Drew McIntyre some time later on in the show to call Randy Orton out!

Cheers from the crowd excited to hear from the Sinister Scotsman.

HHH: And last but not least we have Pete Dunne. He requested one thing: to have the opportunity to win back the Intercontinental title.

Triple H smiles as he carries on talking about Dunne like a proud dad.

HHH: Whilst I'm not going to be in power, the new Smackdown commissioner has assured me that Pete Dunne is at the top of the list to get the opportunity to win back the Intercontinental title! And next week, we will find out from the new commissioner what's next for the Intercontinental title.

Cheers from the crowd as HHH now looks to bring the promo to an end.

HHH: But our first match of the night is going to be Otis Dozovic taking on one half of the WWE Tag team champions Scott Dawson.

Cheers from the crowd happy to see Otis in action.

HHH: And that's going to be right now!

Triple H drops the microphone and leaves the ring getting a decent pop from the live crowd as he heads up the ramp as...

*SOUTHERN PROUD*

Boos from the crowd as the WWE Tag team champions make their way out and they do not look happy. They head to the ring and have a mini-staredown with Trips, as Dash can be heard saying they ain't singles wrestlers before walking down the ramp. HHH though ignores them and heads backstage.

Byron Saxton: Corey who did you think the new Smackdown commissioner will be?

Corey Graves: I don't know Corey but I'm in shock. Why are on half of the tag team champions in singles action? They are tag team specialists not singles wrestlers.

Byron Saxton: Hey they took out Tucker. If they hadn't done that, this match wouldn't be happening!

Corey Graves: Well up next we are going to see Otis Dozovic take on Scott Dawson in singles action. Don't go anywhere.

-----------------------------------------------------------------
Ad break
-----------------------------------------------------------------

Match 1: Otis Dozovic vs Scott Dawson w/Dash Wilder

Match summary: When we return from the commercial break, this match is already underway. Otis is fired up and we see an aggression we rarely see from the big man as he tosses the smaller Scott Dawson around the ring! Dash Wilder on the outside gets involved distracting the referee by climbing onto the apron but Otis sends him crashing to the floor. However, this allows Dawson to cheap shot him with a chop block to the back of his leg! Scott Dawson from there starts working over the right leg and tries to keep Otis down on the mat even locking him in a FIGURE FOUR LEGLOCK!

Scott Dawson is wrenching on the big man's leg on the mat. Otis claws and claws to the ropes grabbing hold of them forcing a break. Dawson holds on for a while before letting go. On instinct, he looks to the corner ready but remembers he's in a singles match. He turns back around as Otis clobbers him with a CLOTHESLINE! Otis then scoops him up, struggling for a moment due to his leg before hitting him with THE EXCAVATOR (World's strongest slam)! Otis makes the cover and picks up the win!

Winner via pinfall: Otis Dozovic (8:10)

Cheers from the crowd as Otis Dozovic gets to his feet having gained a measure of revenge over the Revival after their vile attack on Tucker. However, as he is celebrating DASH WILDER SLIDES INTO THE RING AND CLOCKS HIM FROM BEHIND WITH ONE OF TAG TEAM TITLES! Boos from the crowd as Dash Wilder starts clobbering Otis Dozovic and laying into him on the mat. He wails on the big man but Otis powers out sending Dash backward!

Otis looks angry and gets ready to attack Dash but SCOTT DAWSON CATCHES HIM WITH A CHOP BLOCK TO THE LEG AGAIN! Otis crumples to the mat as The Revival now take control and start to double team Otis Dozovic. They are beating down the big man and they lift him into the air as they hit him with BIG RIG! Otis drops to the mat as The Revival look at each other as Dawson grabs hold of Otis's leg and locks him in a FIGURE FOUR LEG LOCK AS DASH HEADS TO THE TOP ROPE READY TO BREAK HIS LEG LIKE THEY DID TUCKER'S...

*FIGHTS APART*

Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn sprint to the ring as they attack The Revival! Sami Zayn goes after Dash Wilder whilst Owens stomps on Scott Dawson forcing him to let go of Otis's leg. Both members of the Revival end up rolling to the outside as they grab their tag team titles and start to retreat up the ramp. Owens and Zayn meanwhile dare them to come back but the Revival shake their heads, looking to head backstage.

Byron Saxton: Thank god for Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn!

Corey Graves: The Revival ain't going to take that lightly. Especially from a pairing they don't see as a real tag team.

Back in the ring Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn help Otis Dozovic to his feet as the trio celebrate in the ring to the delight of the crowd as we cut to a commercial break.

-----------------------------------------------------------------
Ad break
-----------------------------------------------------------------

When we return from the ad break, we see Karrion Kross is sat down in a smoky room. He has a glass of whiskey in his hand as Scarlett stands next to him. He takes a sip from the glass before speaking.

Karrion Kross: Last night was only the beginning.

We cut to clips of Kross destroying Balor throughout the match.

Karrion Kross: I told you the prince would fall.

Scarlett Bordeaux: He gave Finn fair warning.

Karrion Kross: His only chance at salvation was the Demon King. And that's what I want.

Kross finishes his whiskey and tosses the glass to the side, smashing it.

Karrion Kross: When you come back and I know you will come back, I want the Demon King. I want the real Finn Balor. The clock is ticking.

Scarlett at this point brings out an hourglass as the sand starts to fall down. The camera then cuts back to Karrion Kross.

Karrion Kross: Tick tock tick tock.

The camera then focuses on the hourglass as the sand pours down as we cut back to the commentary team at ringside.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Byron Saxton: Kross still wants the Demon King it seems.

Corey Graves: And I strongly suggest Finn gives Kross what he wants. He isn't someone you want to cross.

Byron Saxton: Finn has said in the past that bringing out the Demon King takes its toll on his psyche.

Corey Graves: That may be the case Byron but Kross doesn't give a damn about that. He wants a challenge and he has a point to prove.

*BROKEN DREAMS*

A massive pop as the Sinister Scotsman makes his way out to the ring with a microphone in hand. He looks in a foul mood not paying attention to the fans as he marches to the ring ready to speak.

Byron Saxton: On Sunday Drew McIntyre was on fire picking up elimination after elimination. That was until Randy Orton cheap shotted him with an RKO after his elimination!

Corey Graves: Drew should have known there would have been a reaction from Orton. Randy is a winner and doesn't take failure well.

Before the commentary team can argue some more Drew McIntrye climbs into the ring ready to speak.

Drew McIntyre: Y'know I should be happy. At Survivor Series we finally got rid of Team Shane.

A loud pop from the fans but that doesn't improve Drew's mood.

Drew McIntyre: But I didn't get a WWE title shot because I didn't survive.

Drew paces around the ring furious.

Drew McIntyre: And do you want to know why I didn't survive? Cause Randy Orton screwed me!

Drew shouts as he gets to that last line!

Drew McIntyre: The great survivor Randy Orton couldn't handle me taking him out!

Drew is pacing around the ring and looks furious.

Drew McIntyre: Now I've heard from Triple H backstage that you have taken a holiday but I know the real reason you ain't here. You're a coward.

Cheers from the crowd as Drew leans over the ropes and points towards the crowd.

Drew McIntyre: We all know what Randy Orton is like and he knew what I would do to him after Sunday so he used his status to get some time off to hide from the beating he is going to get.

Drew shakes his head.

Drew McIntyre: He thinks that maybe if he runs and hides, I'll forget about him. Did you not see what I did to Elias?

Commentary chimes in to remind us he tossed Elias off of Hell in a Cell.

Drew McIntyre: You can hide for as long as you want but the second you turn back up in WWE, I will end you!

Drew drops the microphone having sent a strong message to the Viper Randy Orton. He climbs over the ropes and heads up the ramp still furious.

Byron Saxton: Drew sending a strong message to Randy Orton tonight.

Corey Graves: Randy does what Randy wants but I don't think he will be happy about what Drew had to say.

Byron Saxton: Drew is not someone you want... WAIT IS THAT JINDER?

The camera cuts back to the entrance ramp with Drew facing the crowd and promising Orton would pay as Jinder Mahal runs out and CLOBBERS DREW WITH A STEEL CHAIR FROM BEHIND! Jinder doesn't stop there as he slams the chair over the back of Drew several times as he wails on Drew McIntyre! Drew falls down the entrance ramp towards the ring as Jinder stalks him and carries on his assault. Drew though starts to fight back until JINDER LOW BLOWS HIM!

Drew falls over as Jinder once again grabs the steel chair and smashes it over the back of Drew. Drew falls to the mat as Jinder stands over Drew McIntyre and shouts “YOU THINK YOU CAN HULIMATIE ME?”. He then places the chair on the floor upright as he grabs hold of Drew and hits him with the KHALLAS ONTO THE STEEL CHAIR BREAKING IT! Jinder looks furious as he glares at the prone Drew McIntyre soaking in the boos from the crowd.

Byron Saxton: What is the meaning of this? Why has Jinder attacked Drew McIntyre?

Corey Graves: I'm guessing he's angry over Sunday. Jinder must have been humiliated being eliminated so quickly by Drew. Tonight was payback.

Byron Saxton: Well we are going to get some of the medical team out here to check on Drew. We will give you an update once we come back. Don't go anywhere.

-----------------------------------------------------------------
Ad break
-----------------------------------------------------------------

When we return from the commercial break, we can see Titus O'Neil stood in the ring ready for a match.

Byron Saxton: Welcome back to Friday Night Smackdown. We are about to see Jeff Hardy in action as he takes on Titus O'Neil but we have an update regarding Drew McIntyre after Jinder's attack just before the break.

Corey Graves: He is being checked over by our medical team backstage but Jinder Mahal has left the building much to the anger of Triple H.

Byron Saxton: Might be a smart move by Jinder because if I know Drew, the second he can get a hold of Jinder he will look for revenge.

*NO MORE WORDS*

A loud pop from the crowd as Jeff Hardy makes his way out to his iconic theme. Jeff runs down the ramp after slapping hands with the fans before sliding into the ring. Jeff and Titus share a smile as Jeff offers a handshake which Titus accepts. The referee then calls for the bell to get the match underway!

Match 2: Jeff Hardy vs Titus O'Neil

Match summary: Jeff Hardy struggles in the opening moments as Titus uses his size to take control but Jeff uses his veteran experience to get back into the match and hits Titus with the TWIST OF FATE. Jeff isn't done though as he climbs to the top rope and hits the SWANTON BOMB! He makes the cover and picks up another win!

Winner via pinfall: Jeff Hardy (3:14)

Cheers from the crowd as Jeff Hardy gets to his feet and celebrates soaking in the reaction.

Byron Saxton: Jeff Hardy picks up another win and he's on a bit of a roll Corey.

Corey Graves: You're right Byron. He has been picking up a fair few wins including beating Baron Corbin on the Survivor Series pre-show!

Jeff Hardy carries on the celebration to the delight of the fans as we cut backstage to the New Day's locker room.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

We see Xavier Woods sat down gaming, Big E working out and Kofi doing some exercises. Big E takes a break from eating as he turns to Kofi.

Big E: How you feeling after Sunday?

Kofi smiles.

Kofi Kingston: I'm on top of the world man. We finally got rid of Shane and I'm going to get my WWE title back.

Big E smiles as he fist bumps Kofi but Kofi notices that Big E ain't feeling so good.

Kofi Kingston: I'm more worried about how you two are doing after Sunday?

Big E shakes his head as Woods pauses his video game.

Big E: I'm fine.

Xavier Woods: We know we can beat the Revival. We know that we can do it.

Kofi Kingston: Guys sometimes it's just not your night. We are five-time tag team champions.

I do keep having to double-check I have the right number.

Kofi Kingston: But maybe it's time for you two to rethink things.

Big E nods.

Big E: You're right. It's time to focus on getting you back your WWE title!

Xavier Woods: Exactly. We'll make sure if there are any remains of the Corporation they stay out of it.

Kofi smiles but shakes her head.

Kofi Kingston: Guys I appreciate it but that's not what I meant. When I said you guys have to focus on your careers as well I meant it. There are other titles on Smackdown like...

Big E: The Intercontinental title.

Big E nods remembering his time as Intercontinental champion.

Kofi Kingston: I know you guys love seeing me succeed but I love seeing you guys thrive as well.

Kofi puts his hands on both of their shoulders.

Kofi Kingston: Just think about it.

Kofi gets to his feet and grabs the video game controller that Woods was using as Big E and Woods look at each other nodding as we cut to a commercial break.

-----------------------------------------------------------------
Ad break
-----------------------------------------------------------------

*I CAME TO MAKE BELIEVE*

When we return from the commercial break, The Miz and John Morrison make their way out getting a pretty loud reaction from the live crowd. John Morrison walks with a slight limp due to the damage he sustained at Survivor Series.

Byron Saxton: Over the last couple of months, twice this match has been made and twice it has ended in a no contest. Tonight hopefully we get a winner.

Corey Graves: When you fight two monsters like The War Raiders it often will end in chaos or pain. Look what happened to Matt Hardy at Halloween Havoc!

*WAR*

The War Raiders make their way out to boos from the crowd. They cut an imposing presence as they make their way down the ramp and into the ring. Both teams come nose to nose due to their issues over the last few months. The referee has to step in and has to force them to go to their separate corners. The Miz steps into the ring for his team whilst Rowe steps in for the War Raiders.

Match 3: The Miz and John Morrison vs The War Raiders

Match summary: Once the bell rings it is a fast-paced affair with both teams being really familiar with each other and have a lot of hatred towards their opponents. After the match goes about 5 minutes, the action ends up spilling to the outside of the ring as the brawl between the two teams carries on. Neither team is listening to the referee's count and once on the outside, the brawl carries on until the referee reaches 10 meaning it's a double count out!

Winners: Double countout (6:20)

The fighting doesn't stop after the bell as the two teams carry on fighting around ringside as they look to lay into each other. The War Raiders end up taking control due to their power and slam Miz & Morrison down onto the ring apron with slams. Hanson then grabs a pair of kendo sticks from under the ring and tosses one to Rowe as the War Raiders go to town on Miz and Morrison. They lay a beating on the veterans and even end up breaking the kendo sticks!

The War Raiders though are far from done with Miz and Morrison however as they make their way to the commentary desks at ringside and start tearing it apart! They toss the boards on top to the side but Rowe grabs one of the TV monitors clobbering Miz with it! Rowe roars as Morrison SPRINGBOARDS OFF THE RINGSIDE BARRICADE AND HITS A JUMPING KNEE! Rowe stumbles back as Morrison lands on his feet but gets wiped out by Hanson with a lariat!

Hanson helps his tag team partner Rowe up to his feet as they grab John Morrison by the throat each. They hoist him into the air and HIT HIM WITH A DOUBLE CHOKESLAM THROUGH THE ANNOUNCE TABLE! A mixed reaction from the crowd with some booing but some loving the cool bump. They turn around looking to go after Miz but he catches HANSON WITH THE MONITOR! Miz swings for Rowe but he avoids it and hits a BIG BOOT! Rowe then grabs hold of Miz and lifts him into the air hitting him with a SIT-OUT POWERBOMB THROUGH THE OTHER ANNOUNCE TABLE!

Once again a mixed reaction from the live crowd as we see Rowe checking on Hanson who is checking his head after being clocked with the ringside monitor but he is OK as The War Raiders get to their feet and pose over the prone Miz and Morrison. Both men are down and out as Corey Graves, Bryon Saxton and the Spanish commentary team look on from the timekeeper's area as we cut to a commercial break.

-----------------------------------------------------------------
Ad break
-----------------------------------------------------------------

When we return from the commercial break, we see a graphic appear at the bottom of the screen saying earlier on today. We then cut to Carmella being checked over backstage by the medical team. Carmella is clearly in a lot of pain as the door bursts open and we see her best friend R-Truth with her!

R-Truth: Carmella, I should have known that fool Asuka was up to something. I should have been there on Sunday to stop her.

Carmella shakes her head.

Carmella: Using a man to fight my battles for me is what got me into this mess.

Carmella sighs clearly still in pain.

Carmella: I used James Ellsworth to get ahead but I ain't using you Truth. You are my friend and whilst I know you have my back, I need to deal with this myself.

Carmella looks to get up but is clearly still in a lot of pain as the medical person steps forward.

Doctor: You are not competing tonight Carmella. I can't clear you.

Carmella looks angry as Truth steps forward.

R-Truth: I don't know many things but listen to the doctor. And give him an apple each day.

R-Truth reaches into his pocket and pulls out an apple! He gives it to the doctor who looks a little confused before taking a bite out of it and walking out of the shot.

R-Truth: You need to be smart about this Carmella. Doc when's she going to be cleared?

Doctor (off-screen): She should be cleared for next week if she passes all the necessary tests.

Carmella gets to her feet as she looks at Truth.

Carmella: I need a favor. I'm going to do what I need to pass those tests but I need you to speak to Paige and get me a rematch with Asuka.

Truth nods but Carmella grabs his arm stopping him from leaving.

Carmella: And tell Triple H I want a Street Fight!

R-Truth: Are you sure? Do you want me out there to help you?

Carmella shakes her head.

Carmella: If Asuka does anything after the bell? Yes. But I want you to stay backstage during the match.

Truth nods.

Carmella: And next week, I'm going to show the Empress that this Princess is from the streets!

The promo comes to an end as Carmella smiles looking fired up as we cut to the commentary team sat behind their ruined table.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Byron Saxton: Well as you could see, earlier tonight told her best friend R-Truth to tell Triple H she wants a street fight next week with Asuka!

Corey Graves: I love Carmella but has she gone crazy?

Freudian slip Corey.

Byron Saxton: Well let's hear what Asuka has to say about the challenge.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

We cut to a room as Asuka sits in a chair that almost looks like a throne. She has a devilish smile on her face with the WWE Women's title around her waist front and center.

Asuka: Carmella, anata wa sutorītofaito o shitaidesu ka?

Translation: Carmella, you want a street fight?

Asuka lets out an evil chuckle.

Asuka: Anata wa watashi ni taishite 2-bu karōjite tsudzuku koto ga dekimashita

Translation: You could barely last two minutes against me at Survivor Series!

She lets out her signature sinister smile.

Asuka: Nichiyōbi ni okotta koto wa messējidearu koto ga ito sa rete imashita. Anata ga watashi o kurushimeta kutsujoku ni taisuru watashi no fukushū.

Translation: What happened on Sunday was meant to be a message. My revenge for the humiliation you made me suffer.

Asuka gets to her feet walking forward.

Asuka: Shikashi, anata wa jūbun ni eru koto ga dekimasendeshita. Anata wa sutorītofaito o shitaidesu ka? Shōdaku shimasu.

Translation: But you couldn't get enough. You want a street fight? I accept.

She unhooks her WWE Women's title from her waist and lifts it into the air.

Asuka: Soshite, watashi mo kore o rain ni iremasu.

Translation: And I'll even put this on the line.

She once again lets out an evil smile as she hugs her WWE Women's title once again.

Asuka: No one is ready for Asuka!

The promo comes to an end as we cut elsewhere backstage with a big title match being made official for next week's Smackdown Live.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

We then see Shelton Benjamin sat in his locker room getting ready. The door opens up and he looks over to see Cedric walk into the room. Shelton shakes his head and looks up.

Shelton Benjamin: I don't want to hear whatever excuse is about to come out of your match but I beat you fair and square last week!

Cedric puts his hands up indicating he is coming peace.

Cedric Alexander: Listen I know I can be a little hot-headed but I'm man enough to admit the better man won last week.

Cedric offers Shelton Benjamin a handshake but Shelton looks confused.

Cedric Alexander: And I figured if I can't beat you I should join you.

Shelton scoffs.

Shelton Benjamin: Join me?

Cedric Alexander: I'm still young and you're a veteran. I could learn so much working with you and I could help you as well.

Shelton Benjamin: I'm good.

Shelton goes to leave but Cedric moves in front of him stopping Shelton from leaving.

Cedric Alexander: I can help you get ahead and...

Shelton Benjamin: The answer is no. I may be getting old but I ain't spending my twilight years babysitting you. I've got my eyes on gold and I can do that by myself!

Shelton walks off leaving Cedric Alexander looking disappointed as we cut to a commercial break.

-----------------------------------------------------------------
Ad break
-----------------------------------------------------------------

*FEMME FATALE*

Boos from the crowd as The Iiconics make their way out upon our return from the commercial break. They have a pair of microphones in their hands as they look ready to speak.

Peyton Royce: Now I know you people are jealous of how iconic we are.

Cheap heat as Billie raises her hand into the air trying to get them to stop.

Billie Kay: But we know there is another team you hate more. The Queens of WWE.

The Iiconics are right as the crowd boo even louder.

Peyton Royce: And we have good news for you, as we are about to show them how iconic we are!

Small cheers from the crowds but not many as these two are still heels.

Billie Kay: And then we will beat either the Twisted Sisters or the Riott Squad and become champions in our home country of Australia!

The Iiconics step into the ring and smile as they speak at the same time.

Both: And it will be ICONIC!

Both the Iiconics look happy as they toss the microphones from the ring to the outside and poses getting a few cheers from the crowd as they wait for their opponents.

*RECOGNIZE A LADY*

And the boos are even louder as The Queens of WWE Charlotte Flair and Lacey Evans make their way out, both looking cross as they walk towards the ring.

Byron Saxton: Well as stated by The Iiconics the winners of this match will in two weeks face the winners out of The Riott Squad and The Twisted Sisters next week.

Corey Graves: And whoever wins that gets a shot at the WWE Women's tag team titles at Super Showdown!

Byron Saxton: Charlotte Flair and Lacey Evans suffered a tough loss at Survivor Series as they came up short against Team BlissMoon.

Corey Graves: Charlotte is a Flair. If anyone knows how to bounce back from a loss and win a title it's the Queen.

Charlotte climbs into the ring starting for the Queens of WWE whilst Peyton Royce steps into the ring for the Iiconics as the referee calls for the bell to get this match underway.

Match 4: The Queens of WWE vs The Iiconics

Match summary: Once the match begins, The Iiconics take on the babyface role in the match and even catches Charlotte by surprise throughout the encounter. Peyton Royce especially has a decent showing but in the end, The Queens take control, thanks to a few sly tricks behind the referee's back. In the closing stages, Charlotte takes out Peyton Royce with a big boot sending her to the floor. Lacey then hits Billie Kay with the WOMAN'S RIGHT! Billie falls to the mat as Charlotte dives off the top rope hitting a MOONSAULT! Charlotte makes the cover and The Queen of WWE advance to the number one contender's match!

Winners via submission: The Queens of WWE (7:24)

Lacey and Charlotte get to their feet as they wave and smile at the crowd, mocking the fans in attendance. On the outside, Peyton Royce comes too and sees Billie out as it dawns on the Iiconics they are not going to Super Showdown to fight for the tag team titles. Both look sad on the outside whilst in the ring Charlotte and Lacey Evans do a fake crying taunt mocking the Iiconics.

Byron Saxton: The Queens of WWE bounce back with a win tonight but will they advance to Super Showdown?

Corey Graves: They face a tough challenge when they face either The Riott Squad or The Twisted Sisters in two weeks.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

We then cut backstage as we can see Elias walking down a corridor with his guitar over his back. He has a slight smile as the crowd cheers for the drifter.

Byron Saxton: Well after the commercial break, we will hear from Elias as he explains why he turned his back on not only the Corporation but also Baron Corbin. Don't go anywhere!

-----------------------------------------------------------------
Ad break
-----------------------------------------------------------------

When we return from the commercial break, we hear cheers from the crowd as Elias is sat down on a chair in the middle of the ring. The lights in the rest of the arena are dimmed down minus a spotlight pointed on the drifter as he strums his guitar.

Elias: Hello I am Elias.

Cheers from the crowd as he nods enjoying the positive reaction from the crowd.

Elias: Birmingham, Alabama. What does WWE stand for?

WALK WITH ELIAS”

Elias: Now before I give you a song, let me tell you a story. A story of someone used for all he was worth and then he was tossed to the side to drift in the wind.

Elias looks angry.

Elias: I did everything asked of me and I always looked out for my friends. But I guess I was always meant to be a solo act.

Cheers from the crowd and a few chants start up making Elias smile.

Elias: I saved Corbin from being tossed off the cell! And what did he do when I was in danger? He ran away like a coward.

Cheers from the crowd Elias insults Baron Corbin.

Elias: However in moments of great pain artists like me make great music!

Loud cheers from the crowd as Saxton on commentary shills Elias's album.

Elias: Now!

Elias strums the guitar getting a pop from the crowd!

Elias: Silence your cellphones, hold your applause and get ready for my song called: Cowardly Corbin!

Loud cheers from the crowd as Elias strums the guitar and gets ready to sing as...

*I BRING THE DARKNESS (END OF DAYS)*

Loud boos from the crowd as Baron Corbin makes his way out with a microphone as he shakes his head.

Baron Corbin: Now listen Elias, I need you to...

Elias: Oh wait I think I forgot to say one thing before I began to perform. Corbin shut your mouth!

Massive pop from the crowd as Corbin looks unimpressed and ignores Elias.

Baron Corbin: No I won't stand out here and let you slander me. I didn't save you because I was focused on protecting Shane! I was thinking about the greater good and I thought you would be strong enough to fight off Drew!

Boos from the crowd.

Baron Corbin: But clearly you weren't as strong as I thought you were.

Elias: Then how about you come down to this ring and find out how tough I am?

Corbin shakes his head.

Baron Corbin: No no no, I will deal with your slander on my terms not yours.

The crowd starts to call Corbin a coward as he shakes his head. Elias though smirks.

Elias: The people have spoken! Are you going to prove them right Corbin?

Corbin looks furious but tosses the microphone down and storms off leaving Elias smirking in the ring. The crowd cheers as Elias poses for the fans whilst we cut backstage to see Triple H in his office.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

He is sat down as we see Ember Moon and Alexa Bliss staring at each other with smirks on their face.

HHH: Now girls, I want to start by congratulating you two on your victory last night and both surviving in your match against Team Flair.

Both turn to Triple H nodding and thanking him as the King of Kings carries on.

HHH: You two, you may not have won the NXT Women's title but you two are two of the best talents to ever come out of NXT.

Triple H is a proud dad.

HHH: And in my last act as Smackdown commissioner, I've made a match for Smackdown Live in two weeks. Alexa you will take on Ember and the winner will fight for the WWE Women's title at Super Showdown.

Both women smile with Ember's smile a lot wider since she has never held a title in WWE.

Alexa Bliss: Better not Bliss me off then Ember.

Ember Moon: Oh you don't have to worry about that. You'll be too busy looking up at the lights.

Both women smile before shaking hands and staring each other down as we cut to a hallway backstage...

-----------------------------------------------------------------

AND WE SEE ROMAN REIGNS WALKING TO THE RING! He looks in a foul mood as he walks down the hallway and has his WWE title over his shoulder.

Byron Saxton: Up next we are going to hear from the WWE Champion Roman Reigns after a disastrous night for the Corporation! Don't go anywhere!

-----------------------------------------------------------------
Ad break
-----------------------------------------------------------------

*THE EMPIRE*

Nuclear heat as we return from the commercial break, as Roman Reigns slowly walks to the ring. He looks angry as he walks down the ramp and slowly makes his way into the ring. He slowly walks around the ring looking at the crowd and we can see his right hand is bandaged up after the finger snap by Pete Dunne at Survivor Series.

Byron Saxton: At Survivor Series not only did we see the end of Shane McMahon's reign as commissioner on Smackdown Live but we also saw what seemed to be the end of the Corporation! And Roman was clearly not happy with Shane, shoving him to the ground after the match!

Corey Graves: Listen I get Roman was angry but it's not Shane's fault the rest of the team let him down. Shane couldn't have expected Jinder to be eliminated in nine seconds for example!

Byron Saxton: Well it looks like we are about to see what's hear from our WWE Champion and what's next for him.

Roman is still furious as he walks around the ring and shakes his head before speaking.

Roman Reigns: I bet y'all real happy.

Cheers from the crowd as they taunt Roman which brings an evil angry glare to his face.

Roman Reigns: But you people have always feed off my misery!

Roman once again scowls as he says that line. He lifts his taped-up hand for full view of the crowd and camera which gets another pop from the crowd.

Roman Reigns: I had to fight for over forty-five minutes with dislocated fingers! Could any of your heroes do that?

Boos from the crowd.

Roman Reigns: That's what I thought.

Roman shakes his head and continues to prowl the ring.

Roman Reigns: Do you know why I joined the Corporation? To get back to where I belong.

He lifts his WWE title in the air getting loud boos from the crowd.

Roman Reigns: I had to sit at home, fighting so my family could have a father so I think I was owed a little help. And you people certainly weren't going to give it to me!

You can feel the hatred and anger radiating off Roman.

Roman Reigns: It didn't matter what I did, you people would have hated me anyway.

He ain't wrong.

Roman Reigns: But I learned at Survivor Series, I can't rely on anyone else to get the job done! I am an island onto myself and the Corporation needed me to make them relevant!

Boos from the crowd as Roman carries on.

Roman Reigns: I had to carry them on my back but they couldn't pull their weight. Randy, you wanted a shot at this but you couldn't get a single elimination! Bryan, you were Shane's best friend yet you wanted to argue with me about finishing Kofi.

Cheers from the crowd as he mentions Kofi's name.

Roman Reigns: If you could have got the job done at Mania, he still wouldn't be a problem for you Bryan.

Roman shakes his head.

Roman Reigns: But this is what I get for you leaving things to Shane. But after Survivor Series? He outlived his usefulness. And now the only thing that matters to me is this title!

He lifts it into the air enjoying the heat from the crowd.

Roman Reigns: They needed me, I don't need them!

Loud boos from the crowd as Roman lifts his title into the air.

Roman Reigns: No one is going to take this title from me. All of your heroes will fall one by one.

Boos from the crowd as Roman gets serious as he glares at the crowd.

Roman Reigns: I did it to Ricochet, I did it to Drew McIntyre and I did it to Kofi when I took back my title.

A Kofi chant starts up as Roman says that.

Roman Reigns: You can chant his name all you want but at Super Showdown I will still be WWE Champion and his dreams of producing a once-in-a-lifetime miracle will be...

*NEW DAY, NEW WAY*

Loud cheers from the crowd as Kofi Kingston makes his way out with a microphone in hand. Roman looks furious to be interrupted by Kofi Kingston, as the former WWE Champion walks to the ring. He steps inside as Roman glares at Kofi Kingston, ready to kill him. Kofi stares at him before speaking.

Kofi Kingston: You don't need anyone? You could have fooled me.

Cheers from the crowd Kofi carries on walking around the ring.

Kofi Kingston: I mean the only reason you're holding that title is because of Shane McMahon.

A massive pop from the crowd as Roman shakes his head.

Roman Reigns: I used Shane because it was easier.

Kofi Kingston: Or maybe you didn't think you could beat me?

Roman shakes his head but Kofi carries on.

Kofi Kingston: You saw someone who had finally got his chance at the top and you were worried you couldn't beat me. You've never had to fight like I did just to get an opportunity.

Roman Reigns: I had to spend years fighting against Triple H and the Authority.

Kofi Kingston: You did but did they stop you from ever getting a one on one title shot? No even when they were holding you down, you still got opportunities to prove yourself. Heck Triple H even tried to recruit you.

Kofi steps forward pointing at Roman.

Kofi Kingston: And you don't need anyone? You really think you got to the top all by yourself?

Roman Reigns: I did.

Kofi Kingston: What about the SHIELD?

Roman looks furious but Kofi carries on.

Kofi Kingston: You say you made it on your own but what about your brothers? What about the people that helped you rise to the top? What about Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins?

Roman glares at Kofi but doesn't say a word. A massive pop from the fans for the mention of Dean as a few smarky fans chant “Moxley, Moxley”.

Kofi Kingston: You may think you made it on your own but without your friend, you wouldn't have got where you are today. Me? Without my brother Big E and Xavier Woods, I never get the opportunity I deserved. No, I would have retired and never lived my dream of becoming WWE Champion.

Kofi is fired up as the crowd carries on cheering him on.

Kofi Kingston: And the support of my friends is why I'm taking that title back at Super Showdown!

Roman steps forward getting in Kofi's face.

Roman Reigns: You will have to take this title from my cold dead hands!

Both men are in each other's faces.

Roman Reigns: But that's if you make it to Super Showdown!

Roman goes to swing for Kofi but he dodges it and counters with SOS! Kofi drops the WWE Champion! Roman's head bounces off the mat as Kofi lines him up and goes for TROUBLE IN PARADISE... BUT ROMAN ROLLS UNDER THE ROPES AND STARTS TO RETREAT HEADING UP THE ENTRANCE RAMP! Boos from the crowd as Kofi shakes his head and signals he is coming for the WWE title!

Byron Saxton: Kofi sending a message to the WWE Champion tonight!

Corey Graves: Roman is right though. Yes, The New Day and The Shield have helped both men in their careers but at Super Showdown it's going to be Roman vs Kofi. No one is going to be there to save Kofi.

Byron Saxton: Or Roman!

The show comes to a close with Kofi Kingston stood tall in the ring getting loud cheers from the fans as Roman Reigns looks on furious as we fade to black.
