After the usual video introduction to the show, we then cut to the commentary team of Byron Saxton and Corey Graves who welcome us to the show.

Byron Saxton: It's Sunday and you know what that means.Hello and welcome to Halloween Havoc taking place in Louisiana, New Orleans!

Corey Graves: And what a massive show we have in store.

The camera quickly pans over as we see the red Hell in a Cell structure start to lower as it makes its way down until it covers the ring.

Byron Saxton: Shortened them as well.

Corey Graves: And we are starting the show with Kofi Kingston versus Randy Orton inside Hell in a Cell! Let's take a look at how we got here!

Before the first match of the night, we get a video package that runs through the history these two men have cutting between 2009 and 2019. We see the two MSG spots, Kofi attacking and destroying Orton's car, Orton attacking the New Day. We then finish the promo with both men talking about their hate for one another before we return to the ring to start the show off with a bang.

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

A massive mixed reaction but it is only 25% cheers from the crowd as Randy Orton slowly walks to the ring. He looks at the fans coldly and stops for a moment as he sees a sign praising Kofi. He snarls and shakes his head before carrying on his walk to the ring. He approaches the cell and walks through the door as he enters hell.

Corey Graves: Byron if you ask me, I can't see Orton losing this match. Not only does he have the advantage in experience but he is also willing to whatever it takes to win a match.

Byron Saxton: You might be right Corey. You know how big a fan I am of Kofi Kingston and the rest of the New Day. But Kofi is stepping into an environment where you have to throw your morals out the window. He is about to step into the Devil's playground with someone as evil as the devil himself.

Big E: Awwwww New Orleans don't you dare be sour. Clap for your world-famous former WWE champion and feel the power!

A massive pop from the live crowd as Kofi Kingston makes his way out. There is no dancing, no messing about, no pancakes. Kofi is all business tonight. We see Big E and Xavier Woods behind him as they psych their friend up. He takes a moment to hug the pair and heads to the ring. He walks down the ramp with a purpose as he stares down the smirking Randy Orton. Kofi steps inside the cage as the referee on the outside closes the door behind him and locks it!

Corey Graves: Pete Dunne picks up the win but surely you can't be happy with him biting Jinder to break out of the camel clutch!

Byron Saxton: Turn about is fair play Corey. Pete Dunne only cheated when Jinder Mahal raked his eyes to escape the Bitter End in the first place!

Pete Dunne in the ring meanwhile has no issues with celebrating his win. He places his Intercontinental title between his teeth as he stands tall in the ring and does his signature pose for the crowd as Jinder Mahal watches on, clutching his right hand which must be in a ton of pain.

Corey Graves: Well up next, we will see The War Raiders go to war with The Hardy Boyz. Let’s take a look at how we got here!

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

We cut to a video package that shows us the long rivalry between these two teams since the thread began. It shows their first clashes over the WWE tag team titles before Jeff Hardy got injured in an attack by The War Raiders. We then cut to their second feud just before Summerslam with Jeff returning but this time Bray Wyatt injured him! We see the Hurricane return to team up with Matt Hardy but the War Raiders won quickly. We finally cut to Jeff's return with him helping Matt win an ambulance match against Bray Wyatt and costing the War Raiders their qualifying match against Miz and Morrison to set this match up! The package finishes with their promos on each other as Matt promises to delete them whilst the War Raiders promise to put the Hardys on the shelf for good tonight.

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

Boos from the live crowd as we return from the commercial break. The War Raiders march out to the ring. They have war paint on their cheeks as they let out a roar and stand at the top of the ramp.

The War Raiders looks up as THE HARDY BOYZ DIVE OFF THE TOP OF THE STAGE ONTO BOTH MEN! A holy shit chant starts up as the referee who was in the ring comes over. Both the Hardy Boyz get to their feet after a while though Matt struggles to get to stand properly and has to lean on the LED screen. We cut to a replay of that spectacular dive before cutting back to the action as the referee calls for the bell!

Corey Graves: Why is the referee calling for the bell?

Byron Saxton: It's falls count anywhere Corey. It doesn't need to finish in the ring and it looks like it doesn't need to start in the ring either!

Winner via pinfall: The War Raiders (10:25)

We can hear the crowd in the background disappointed that Matt Hardy didn't make the save as the crowd boo the War Raiders who celebrate backstage over the down and out Jeff Hardy.

Byron Saxton: A valiant effort by Jeff Hardy tonight but in the end, The War Raiders pick up the win.

Corey Graves: The War Raiders warned the Hardy Boyz there would be casualties and it looks like Matt Hardy suffered a serious injury during the match!

Byron Saxton: You might be right Corey. Matt Hardy was taken away by our top-notch medical team who will be checking him over backstage after he was chokeslammed off the stage.

Corey Graves: I do wonder if the War Raiders ended Matt Hardy's career tonight. However, we can't dwell on that fact for too long as the show must go on. Let's go backstage as Cathy Kelly is ready for an interview.

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

We cut backstage as we see Cathy Kelly walk into Drew McIntyre's locker room. Drew is sat down with a bottle of water in hand as he stares intensely at the wall. Cathy approaches him looking to gets some words from him.

Cathy Kelly: Drew, tonight is a big night for you. You get the opportunity to step instead Hell in a Cell and face off against Roman Reigns. How are you feeling?

Drew just stares ahead as he takes another sip from the water bottle before speaking.

Drew McIntyre: Tonight, I take what should have been mine at Summerslam. What would have been mine if Shane McMahon didn't hand the title to Roman.

Cathy Kelly: Your match will take part inside Hell in a Cell. Are you feeling any dread before stepping instead the most demonic structure in WWE history?

Drew finishes the bottle of water and shakes his head.

Drew McIntyre: As long as it keeps Shane McMahon and the rest of the Corporation out, I would be fine fighting Roman in the pits of hell itself.

Drew turns to Cathy.

Drew McIntyre: I know what it's like to be the Chosen One Cathy. To have the world promised to you by a McMahon. And then for them to take it away from me.

Drew lifts two fingers up.

Drew McIntyre: Twice. I had to scratch and claw my way back here. I had to fight all over the world just to get back here. To get a second chance. Tonight, I make all the hard work worth it. So I'll ask you this Cathy. I've been through Hell. Has Roman?

Drew McIntyre gets to his feet and walks off bringing the interview to a close as we cut back to the ringside area.

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

Quick mod note:This show was finished before the passing of Brodie Lee. As of right now I’m still deciding if I will be using Brodie Lee up until his passing or writing him off after this PPV due to his real life death. Regarding this show due to how recent his passing is and how shocking it is, for anyone it may trigger upsetting feelings I have placed the match in spoiler tags so they are able to skip over it should they want to.

A decent pop as we return to the ring as Gran Metalik makes his way out! The Luchadore has a special Halloween based mask with the image of a skull on the front. He sprints down the ramp and jumps over the ropes as he waits for his opponent tonight.

Byron Saxton: This isn't the first time Gran Metalik has competed on a big stage. He was the runner-up in the Cruiserweight classic a few years ago. Tonight he faces a former Intercontinental Champion and a win tonight could kick-start his career.

Corey Graves: Or bring it to an end! Luke Harper is not someone to mess with and is not someone you use to make a name for yourself.

Byron Saxton: Gran Metalik is out for revenge. Luke Harper tried to injure not just Metalik but also his tag team partner and friend Lince Dorado.

Corey Graves: Sometimes you need to pick your battles Byron. Harper will turn a battle into a war.

The crowd are unsure how to react to the new music until Luke Harper walks out onto the stage and they start booing the monster. The monster has a cold glare as he walks to the ring in his jeans and white shirt. Gran Metalik meanwhile is no longer smiling as Luke Harper steps into the ring.

Byron Saxton: A valiant effort by Gran Metalik tonight but in the end Luke Harper was too much for him to overcome.

We see Kayla Braxton is stood in the Corporation's locker room as The War Raiders in the background are celebrating their win. Corbin and Elias are also in the background chatting to Shane. Roman Reigns is sat down in a black polo shirt as Kayla approaches him.

Kayla Braxton: Roman can I get a few words ahead of your WWE title match tonight?

Roman looks at her.

Roman Reigns: You have two minutes. Use them wisely.

Kayla Braxton: You step inside Hell in a Cell in tonight's main event and take on the sinister Scotsman. However, your allies in the Corporation will be unable to get involved.

Roman shoots her a glare.

Roman Reigns: You have two minutes of champ's time and that's what you want to ask me? It doesn't matter who can or can't get involved tonight.

Roman lifts his WWE title into the air.

Roman Reigns: I'm the champion for a reason. I'm the face of the company for a reason. And after tonight, Drew will finally know his place. Believe that.

Kayla goes to ask another question but Baron Corbin walks over.

Baron Corbin: OK Kayla you can leave now.

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

Cheers from the crowd as we return to the ring and the red carpet is out as The Miz and John Morrison make their way to the ring! Both men are in white, with Miz in a white leather jacket whilst Morrison is in a white fur coat. He pauses on the ramp and does his usual slow motion part of the entrance.

Byron Saxton: Tonight is John Morrison's first pay-per-view match since returning to Smackdown Live and what a big match! Competing for the WWE tag team titles with his best friend The Miz.

Corey Graves: John Morrison made it clear he didn't just come back to help Miz, he wants gold. And I think he would screw over Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn to get his hand on those tag team titles.

The Revival make their way out next getting boos from the crowd. As they walk out they look at the red carpet and all the fancy props from The Miz and Morrison entrance with disgust. The pair make their way to the ring as they trade a few words with Miz and Morrison. Miz and Morrison fire back but Revival step out of the ring, wanting to wait till the bell rings to start fighting.

Corey Graves: The Revival are looking to bring tag team wrestling back to the heights it was at before. And the best way to do that is becoming tag team champions.

Byron Saxton: There's no denying how good these two men are as a team but tonight they will have to survive three other tag teams to hold onto their tag team titles.

Corey Graves: Trust me Byron, the top guys are about to show you why they are the top guys in the WWE.

Loud boos as Daniel Bryan makes his way out followed by his fellow Eco-warrior Erick Rowan. Daniel Bryan is noticeably without his planet's champion belt as he walks to the ring tonight as he glares at the two teams in the ring. Once in the ring The Miz and Daniel Bryan immediately get in each other's faces, staring a hole through each other.

Byron Saxton: Daniel Bryan and The Miz are eternal rivals.

Corey Graves: I can't blame Daniel Bryan. The Miz stole his moves and tried to rename them.

Byron Saxton: Didn't you used to call them the world-famous It kicks?

Corey Graves: Shut up Saxton.

A loud pop from the crowd as Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens walk out with their WWE tag team titles in hand. Owens has a stern serious face as he looks at the ring whilst Sami dances in the background to the delight of the crowd. Sami dances back to Kevin who can't help but smile at his friend goofing about.

Byron Saxton: Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn may have been known for most of their careers for fighting each other but they have made one hell of a tag team.

Corey Graves: No two men epitomize fight forever better than these two men. However, I agree with the Top Guys. These two men are not a real team, they are more known for fighting each other than fighting together.

Byron Saxton: I ain't going to claim they are a traditional tag team but they have gotten over their issues with each other and now have the same goal. Getting rid of Shane McMahon and holding onto their tag team titles.

Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn step into the ring as they lift their tag team titles in the air. Owens shouts some abuse at Daniel Bryan. The champions look at each other as they do rock paper scissors which Sami wins meaning he starts. The Revival shake their heads as Daniel Bryan starts for the planet champions as Miz and Morrison watch on from the corner!

Bryan keeps trashing talking Miz as he walks backwards and tags in Erick Rowan!

Loud boos from the crowd as Bryan taunts the fans. Erick Rowan steps into the ring as we see The Revival in the top left looking unimpressed by the action so far. Erick Rowan steps forward as The Miz goes on the attack looking to work over him. However, Erick Rowan powers out of the hold Miz is trying to put on him and knocks him down the floor! Erick Rowan picks up the Miz and tosses him across the ring back towards his own corner. The Miz slowly gets up and wisely tags John Morrison in.

Daniel runs towards the top right corner of the ring but stops just short of Owens and Zayn before hitting Morrison with a hesitation dropkick!

Bryan drags Morrison out of the corner as he starts grinding down Morrison in the corner of the ring and goes after his leg as they look to cut the high-flying offense of Morrison off. Miz watches on annoyed but he tries to will his tag team partner on. Rowan and Bryan make a few frequent tags to each other as they keep working over John Morrison in the corner of the ring. Eventually, Byran locks Morrison in a surfboard stretch and looks at Miz as he taunts the A-Lister!

And this sets off The Miz who steps into the ring looking to get a piece of Daniel Bryan but Erick Rowan cuts him off and sends Miz to the outside.

ROWAN PULLS HIM OFF THE APRON!

Owens heads to the other corner looking to tag either Miz or Morrison and get some breathing room but Scott Dawson now the legal man cuts him off!

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

We cut backstage as The Empress ASUKA can be seen getting ready backstage for her WWE Women's title match later tonight. She has an angry focused glare as she is kicking a punching bag and letting out a lot of anger. We hear a door open as the camera pans over to show LIV MORGAN. She is smiling but is also noticeably nervous as she gets ready to speak to the champion.

Liv Morgan: Hey Asuka.

Asuka stops what she is doing and turns around as she glares at Liv Morgan. Liv looks a bit worried as she waits for Asuka to speak but The Empress stays quiet. Liv then sighs and looks to break the silence.

Liv Morgan: OK... I don't know if you were watching earlier tonight but I won!

Asuka doesn't react as Liv stares at her for a few seconds before carrying on the conversation.

Liv Morgan: Which means... Sarah Logan can't get involved in your title match, thanks to me.

Asuka: Did I ask you to do that?

Liv looks a little confused.

Liv Morgan: Well no but I wanted to make up for what happened Friday when I cost us...

Asuka: YAMERU!

Liv stops talking as Asuka gets in her face.

Asuka: I do not need friends. Stay out of my way.

Asuka glares at Liv Morgan who looks angry for a moment before looking upset as she shakes her head and leaves Asuka's locker room. The Empress then goes back to preparing for her title match later on tonight. We then cut back to the commentary team at ringside.

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

Byron Saxton: That was quite harsh from Asuka.

Corey Graves: Asuka is a winner and probably doesn't want a weak link like Liv Morgan dragging her down. Like how I want someone else with me on commentary week in week out.

Boos from the crowd as The Iiconics make their way to the ring as they look to become only the second team to become two-time champions. They both look at the crowd with disgust before posing in the ring.

Corey Graves: No two women know each other as a team better than The Iiconics. Tonight those women's tag team titles become iconic once again!

Byron Saxton: Well my money is on Team Kick who have been fighting on multiple fronts ever since they won the tag team titles in Cardiff.

Corey Graves: And that's why I think they will lose. These two may look like they have unlimited energy but all those wars on all brands will catch up to them!

Team Kick if they are feeling tired certainly don't show it as they slap hands with the kids in the front row and sprint down the ramp. Both women step into the ring as The Iiconics give the champions a few dirty looks.

Byron Saxton: Drew McIntyre has had two goals since Summerslam. Bring an end to The Corporation and take the WWE title from Roman Reigns.

Corey Graves: Well his goals have lead to him stepping inside Hell in a Cell for the first in his career and Drew may live to regret it.

And the loudest boos of the night start as Roman Reigns walks out. We see The Corporation stood behind him. Roman turns to them and nods as they head backstage leaving Roman all by himself as he walks to the ring, staring a hole through Drew McIntyre.

Byron Saxton: Roman may have been able to sell out to the Corporation but they won't be able to get involved tonight. They will be locked out of Hell in a Cell.

Corey Graves: Roman doesn't need The Corporation to get the job done. He is the face of the company for a reason. Tonight Drew is going to find out what happens when you mess with the big dog!

Roman has now entered Hell and slowly climbs into the ring as he glares at Drew McIntyre and lifts his WWE title into the air getting more boos from the crowd. The referee takes the title and passes it to an official on the outside as Drew and Roman get face to face staring each other down. Drew meanwhile trash talks Roman and tells him once that door locks, no one is getting in. Roman fires back he doesn't need anyone. On the outside, the door is locked trapping both men inside and the referee calls for the bell to get this match underway!

WWE title Hell in a Cell match: Roman Reigns (c) vs Drew McIntyre

As soon as the bell rings both men start throwing hands and batter each other! They end up brawling in the center of the ring before heading to the ropes and falling to the outside. Drew and Roman both get to their feet as Roman charges at Drew looking for an early SUPERMAN PUNCH but Drew ducks underneath and grabs Roman by the mid-section as he slams Roman into the wall with a shoulderblock! Roman shouts in pain as Drew follows up with an IRISH WHIP INTO THE CELL WALL!

Drew charges in hitting a BIG BOOT crushing Roman's head between his boot and the cell wall. Drew doesn't stop there as he presses his boot into Roman's head squishing it! Drew removes his boot from Roman's head as Roman starts to fall down but Drew grabs Roman by the head as he starts scraping Roman's face along the cell wall! Drew holds it for a few seconds before tossing Roman back into the corner of the cell!

Drew then turns around as he looks at THE STEEL STEPS AND LIFTS THEM INTO THE AIR! He looks at Roman Reigns in the corner of the ring and chucks the STEEL STEPS AT ROMAN... THE CHAMPION MOVES JUST IN TIME! The steps bounce off the cell but they left an indent in the cell as the commentary team says Drew will do whatever it takes to take the title from Roman and gets his revenge tonight.

Roman meanwhile takes a moment to look at the steel steps on the floor as Drew walks around the corner and steps over the steel steps! Roman gets back to his feet and starts punching Drew fighting him off but Drew fires back with a massive GLASGOW KISS! Roman falls to the floor as Drew McIntyre scowls and turns his back as he makes his way to the corner and grabs the STEEL STEPS!

However, as Drew turns around Roman HITS THE STEEL STEPS INTO DREW WITH A YAKUZA KICK! Drew falls to the floor as Roman leans on the cell for a moment. He then grabs hold of Drew and tosses him into the corner of the cell, sending Drew's back bouncing off the Cell! Roman isn't done though as he charges at Drew and starts hitting him with several clotheslines in the corner, battering the challenger! Roman gets off about 7 or 8 of the clotheslines before grabbing Drew and Irish whips him into the ring post!

Drew's head bounced off the ring post as Roman follows after him and rolls him back into the ring. Roman though stays on the outside and instead goes to the ring apron. He takes a moment before pulling out a STEEL CHAIR! Roman rolls into the ring with the steel chair in hand and starts SMASHING DREW IN THE BACK WITH THE STEEL CHAIR! Roman gets in a good 7 or 8 chair shots in on Drew before tossing the chair to the side! Roman then makes the first cover of the match! 1 2 Drew powers out!

Roman shakes his head as he bends over Drew and tells him “Whatever happens next is on you”. He makes his way back to the steel chair that was on the mat and picks it up, placing it between the ropes in the corner of the ring. He makes his way over to Drew who is starting to get to his feet and starts laying into him with several punches to the head. He then lifts Drew up off the mat and looks to Irish whip him into the STEEL CHAIR IN THE CORNER... BUT DREW STOPS HIMSELF JUST BEFORE THE CHAIR!

Roman charges at Drew as he stops but Drew catches him with a back elbow rocking the champion! Roman is staggered as Drew grabs him and sends Roman into the chair in the corner of the ring! Roman falls backwards and to the mat, as Drew looks at the steel chair. He yanks the chair out of the corner and instead places it in a seated position in the center of the ring. The chair is already a little bent out of shape as Drew yanks Roman off the mat and hits him with a LIFTING SIT-OUT SPINEBUSTER ONTO THE CHAIR! The chair breaks upon impact as Drew makes the cover 1 2 Roman kicks out!

Drew doesn't react to the kick-out and instead responds to the kick-out by punching Roman a few times in the head! Satisfied that Roman will stay down after the punches to the head, Drew makes his way out of the ring and start to look under the ring for some more toys! He's under the ring for a while before finally pulling out a TRASH CAN! Drew tosses the trash can itself into the ring but keeps hold of the lid as he slides back into the ring!

Roman tries to get back to his feet but Drew clobbers him in the head with THE TRASH CAN LID SENDING HIM BACK TO THE MAT! Drew tosses the dented lid to the side as he grabs the trash can and gets it in position. He makes his way over to Roman as he looks to lift him off the mat but ROMAN FIGHTS BACK! Roman fends Drew off and looks to run off the ropes... BUT DREW COUNTERS AND HITS A BELLY TO BACK SUPLEX ONTO THE TRASH CAN! Drew follows up straight away with a cover 1 2 Roman kicks out!

Drew looks to keep the pressure up, dominating Roman in a fashion that we have rarely seen as he picks Roman up off the mat and sends him into the corner hitting him with A BUCKLE BOMB! Roman falls in the corner as Drew follows up with several punches to the head! The crowd count along 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10! Drew carries on going even past the 10 count as he batters Roman in the corner.

Drew retreats out of the corner and lines Roman up as he goes for a BIG BOOT... ROMAN DODGES HIM AND CATCHES DREW AS HE TURNS BACK AROUND WITH A SUPERMAN PUNCH! Drew McIntyre falls to the mat as Roman takes a moment to rest, selling the beating he has taken so far from the sinister Scotsman. Roman sees Drew start to recover so hits a jumping elbow drop keeping him down for a moment. Roman then rolls to the outside and heads to the ring apron as he looks for some weapons of his own!

Roman eventually appears from under the ring apron with a couple of steel chairs! Roman slides one into the ring and holds onto another one. Drew is starting to get back up so ROMAN CLOBBERS HIM WITH THE STEEL CHAIR IN THE BACK! Roman gets several shots in with the steel chair keeping Drew McIntyre down. However, Roman isn't done as he grabs Drew's head and PLACES THE STEEL CHAIR UNDERNEATH IT! He then grabs the second chair and lifts it into the air GOING FOR A CON-CHAIR-CO...

DREW ROLLS OUT OF THE WAY JUST IN TIME! A close call for Drew who gets to his feet as Roman looks to clobber him in the face... DREW COUNTERS WITH A CLAYMORE INTO THE STEEL CHAIR! Roman drops to the mat but rolls out of the ring to the outside! Drew tried to stop him but was unable to grab hold of him in time. Drew punches the mat in frustration but doesn't waste any time as he rolls out of the ring and follows Roman to the outside.

Drew slowly walks around the ring as he looks to grab Roman Reigns and bring him back inside. He grabs hold of the champion and looks to bring him back to the ring... BUT ROMAN PUNCHES HIM WITH A STEEL CHAIN AROUND HIS FIST! This staggers Drew as Roman slowly gets to his feet and follows up with a SUPERMAN PUNCH WITH THE CHAIN ON HIS FIST! Drew falls back onto the cell wall as Roman drops the steel chain and charges at Drew...

HITTING A SPEAR SENDING BOTH MEN CRASHING THROUGH THE CELL WALL TO THE OUTSIDE OF THE RING!

Corey Graves: The cell wall itself just collapsed!

Byron Saxton: Even hell itself can't contain these two men!

Both men lie on top of the Cell wall selling what just happened. After the “HOLY SHIT” chants die down Roman gets to his feet as he stands upon the cell wall stood over Drew McIntyre with evil intentions! He grabs Drew McIntyre who is still struggling after being speared through the cell and hits him with an SIT-OUT CRUCIFIX POWERBOMB ONTO THE CELL WALL! Roman smirks enjoying this period of domination whilst Drew is down and out with that powerbomb doing even more damage to the challenger.

The champion though isn't done inflicting pain on Drew McIntyre and drags him off the cell wall, Irish whipping him into the barricade by the timekeeper's area! Drew's back bounces off the wall as Roman looks at Drew and lines him up as he looks for ANOTHER SPEAR... DREW MOVES JUST IN TIME AS ROMAN CRASHES AND BURNS! Drew almost on instinct avoided the champion as he rests on the floor next to Roman Reigns before using the announce table to slowly get back to his feet.

Roman meanwhile lays in the wreckage of the timekeeper's area as these two men are destroying the ringside area! Drew is clutching his mid-section having taken a beating in the last couple of minutes he walks over to the wreckage and grabs the RING BELL! He lines Roman up who slowly gets to his feet and CLOBBERS HIM WITH THE RING BELL! Cheers from the crowd as Roman falls to the floor. Drew tosses the ring bell over to the timekeeper's who hopped behind the barricade to safety.

The Scotsman makes his way over to Roman and grabs the Champion who has been BUSTED OPEN! Drew though is far from done as he lifts Roman up and hits an OVERHEAD BELLY TO BELLY SUPLEX INTO THE CELL WALL! Roman's head bounces off the cell as the champion is struggling! Inside the cell, we can hear the referee trying to get both men to bring it back into the ring but Drew isn't listening to anyone right now! Roman is stumbling as Drew takes his head off with a massive LARIAT!

Roman falls to the floor as the crowd cheer on Drew wanting to see him do more damage to Roman. Drew then looks to the announce table and starts to take it apart! He tosses the top and the monitors to the side. He makes his way back over to Roman BUT ROMAN HITS HIM WITH A LOW BLOW! Loud boos from the crowd but the Champion doesn't care as he saves himself from further pain! Roman gets to his feet and snarls at Drew.

Roman then looks around and grabs one of the MONITORS FROM THE FLOOR. He lines Drew up and CLOCKS HIM IN THE HEAD WITH IT! Roman drops the TV monitor as he looks at the wires that have come out of it and smiles. Roman grabs the wires and WRAPS THEM AROUND THE THROAT OF DREW MCINTYRE LOCKING IN A MODIFIED GULLTIONE CHOKE!

Drew McIntyre is struggling to breathe as Roman looks to choke his challenger out! Drew is starting to fade but using the last of his strength he gets to his feet and SLAMS ROMAN BACK FIRST INTO THE CELL WALL! It takes about 3 slams before finally Roman is forced to let go of the choke! Drew drops to the floor coughing and spluttering whilst Roman is left clutching his back. Roman though lines Drew up as he tries to get back to his feet and clobbers him with a EUROPEAN UPPERCUT!

Roman though grabs Drew McIntyre as he lifts him up and hits him with a RUNNING POWERBOMB ONTO THE BROKEN CELL WALL! Drew's back bounces off the cell wall. Roman smirks happily with his handiwork. Roman though isn't done beating on Drew as he makes his way back to the ringside area and grabs the STEEL CHAIN! Roman makes his way to Drew McIntyre on the outside and looks to USE THE STEEL CHAIN TO CHOKE DREW... BUT DREW FIGHTS BACK!

Drew desperately fights Roman off before hitting him with a MASSIVE GLASGOW KISS! Roman falls down and drops the steel chain! Drew looks at the steel chain though and has ideas of his own. He grabs the steel chain and WRAPS IT AROUND HIS FIST! Drew starts punching Roman in the head as he uses Roman's own idea against him!

Drew finally lets up as the cut on Roman's head has gotten bigger. Drew drags Roman up off the cell wall by the head. He gives him a knee to the gut before dropping him headfirst with a FUTURESHOCK DDT ONTO THE CELL WELL! Drew gets back to his feet as grabs hold of the champion who is out of it and tosses him back inside the cell. He then drags Roman up and slowly rolls him into the ring before making the cover

Roman kicks out!

Drew does look annoyed by this but doesn't waste any time as he makes his way to the corner of the ring lining up Roman for THE CLAYMORE! However as he gets ready to hit it there is loud boos from the crowd as ELIAS, BARON CORBIN, AND THE WAR RAIDERS RUN TO THE RING! Drew meanwhile sees them coming down the ramp and charges in hitting Roman with the CLAYMORE! He quickly makes the cover looking to end this before they can stop him!

Baron Corbin pulls the referee out of the ring!

As this happens we see Elias get into the ring as he SMASHES HIS GUITAR ON DREW'S BACK... DREW NO-SELLS IT AND GETS TO HIS FEET HITTING A GLASGOW KISS TO ELIAS! On the outside, the referee tells Corbin off but Corbin doesn't care. In the ring, Hanson tries to attack Drew but the challenger fights him off and knocks him off the apron. However, Rowe clocks him from behind and soon the numbers game becomes too much as Corbin and The War Raiders start beating him down... AS KEVIN OWENS AND SAMI ZAYN SPRINT OUT!

Both men run into the ring and leap onto the War Raiders attacking the pair as they start brawling in and around the ring, as this match has descended into pure chaos. Back in the ring, it is still 2 on 1 as Corbin and Elias carry on beating down Drew McIntyre. Elias and Corbin grab the steel chairs as they look to wail on him...

Winner via pinfall and still WWE Champion: Roman Reigns (16:27)

Loud boos from the crowd as Roman escapes with his title. Roman struggles to his feet as the brawling still carries on around ringside as THE NEW DAY (Xavier Woods and Big E) RUN DOWN THE RAMP BUT ARE ATTACKED FROM BEHIND THE TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS THE REVIVAL!

Byron Saxton: Roman retains his title but only thanks to the Corporation!

Corey Graves: This has descended into total anarchy!

Corey Graves is right as inside the Cell Corbin and Elias have now started beating up Ricochet in one corner of the ring, whilst Owens is brawling with Rowe as Hanson and Zayn are down and out. Outside the ring Morrison is being kicked by Bryan whilst Rowan is sending The Miz into the Cell. The Revival had taken control of their brawl with the New Day but Big E fights back showing power and SLAMS SCOTT DAWSON INTO THE CELL WALL!

Roman though has a snarl on his face and looks to leave the area and retreats up the ramp... AS KOFI KINGSTON LIMPS OUT AND HITS TROUBLE IN PARADISE! Kofi looks to do more but suddenly a swarm of security comes out as they try to get this chaos under control. Meanwhile, in the ring, Drew McIntyre comes to and realizes what happened. He slides out of the ring as Hanson tries to attack him... PLANTS HIM A FUTURESHOCK DDT!

Drew then looks at Corbin as Elias charges in... ANOTHER GLASGOW KISS! Corbin is now in fear and runs like hell as Drew McIntyre gives chase! Corbin fears for his life as Dash Wilder tries to stop Drew... CLAYMORE! Corbin looks to head towards the ramp but is cut off by Big E! Corbin realizing he is in trouble looks at the Cell and STARTS TO CLIMB TO THE TOP OF THE CELL!

Drew though isn't done there as HE STARTS CLIMBING UP THE CELL CHASING AFTER BARON CORBIN! Both men make their way to the top of the cell as down below we see even more security guards swarm out to try to get the chaos under control as SHANE MCMAHON wheels himself out leading them. However, before they get down the ramp we see HHH comes out in a suit as those two get into a massive argument on the entrance ramp. Around ringside Morrison leaps off the barricade, then OFF THE CELL AND HITS A FLYING CHUCK TO ROWAN!

However, as he poses Bryan clobbers him with a RUNNING KNEE AS HE TURNS AROUND! Bryan though gets hit with a SKULL CRUSHING FINALE. Meanwhile, security are trying to drag War Raiders, Owens, Zayn, The Revival and New Day away as the camera shows RICOCHET HAS CLIMBED HALF WAY UP THE CELL AND DIVES OFF HITTING A 630 SPLASH TO THE PEOPLE DOWN BELOW WIPING EVERYONE OUT!

The camera then cuts to the top of the Cell as Corbin is stood on top as Drew McIntyre is hunting him down! Corbin sees McIntyre get his fingers on the top of the cell SO STARTS TRYING TO STOMP ON THE HANDS! One of Drew's hands falls off the cell but HE SWINGS BACK ROUND AND TRIPS CORBIN UP! Drew then grabs onto the cell again and pulls himself up onto the top of the cell!

Baron Corbin is on all four as he crawls backwards begging off Drew McIntyre but The Sinister Scotsman has no interest in showing mercy right now! He stalks Baron Corbin almost terminator like as he grabs Baron Corbin with two hands and slams him down on the top of the cell WITH A SPINEBUSTER! Corbin's back bounces off as Drew follows up by hitting him with a CLAYMORE! Corbin is out for the count but Drew isn't done as he drags the limp body of Corbin towards the edge of the cell!

Corey Graves (on commentary): Drew this is too far! You might end his career!

However before he can toss him from the Cell, ELIAS JUMPS ONTO DREW'S BACK! Elias tries to lock a sleeper hold on Drew McIntyre which causes him to drop Corbin onto the cell as he falls backwards! Corbin, as soon he falls onto the roof scrambles away and gets the hell out of their running away from Drew! Drew meanwhile fights Elias off and jumps into the air slamming ELIAS BACK FIRST ONTO THE CELL BREAKING THE HOLD! Drew then grabs hold of Elias...

AND TOSSES HIM OFF THE CELL SENDING HIM THROUGH THE ANNOUNCE TABLE BELOW!

A “HOLY SHIT” chant starts up from the crowd as Drew looks at Elias down below who is laid out in the wreckage off the announce table (the camera makes sure to not catch the safety mat to soften the blow for Elias)! Drew is still angry as Corbin can be seen on the side of the cell looking at Elias almost relieved that wasn't him. Elsewhere at ringside, we see Kofi trying to get to Roman.

Fucking crazy show man, both HIAC matches and the tag elimination match were crazy fun to read. Honorable mention to the women's title match too

News updates:

Matt Hardy suffers torn calf:

Matt Hardy picked up a major injury early on in his PPV match with War Raiders when he jumped from the top of the titantron. This is the reason for the weird start to the match and him being written out of it early on. The timescale for him to return to action is 9 months. Rumor has it Matt Hardy's contract ends in March. WWE has extended contracts due to injuries in the past but it remains to be seen if they will enforce that policy with a legend like Matt.

If WWE does not enforce the policy Matt will become a free agent and could pop up in AEW or IMPACT. Matt's brother Jeff had been teaming with him and rumor has it WWE did want to do a tag team feud against The Revival in the future. Now it seems Jeff might have to be placed into a singles feud with someone else or they might have to place him with a make-shift partner for at least the next few months.

Mod note: This feud is cursed. 3 times now one of the Hardys has gotten injured and also had an injury to one of the War Raiders as well during their feuds. Also yeah Matt Hardy is going when his contract ends in March just like real life so this was his last show. I did have a match/angle planned for his final match in the thread around March time but due to EWR, that was his final match in the thread.

Matt Riddle returns to NXT

On the most recent edition of NXT, Matt Riddle made his return squashing Austin Theory. Riddle gained a lot of backstage heat for getting suspended whilst in the middle of a massive push having beaten the legendary Goldberg at Summerslam. Matt was getting suspended as a punishment for this whilst other allegations are looked into. He has been brought back to NXT for the time being as they feel he can help them as a ratings draw in their battle with AEW but a return to the main roster is likely as long as he stays out of trouble.

Elias to be off TV for the time being

Matt wasn't the only one who fell from a great height as Elias was thrown off the Cell after last night's main event. Elias is expected to be kept off TV for at least a month as he is taking time out to write and record an album. He didn't sustain any injuries last night and will return as soon as he finishes writing the album.

Vince McMahon to appear on Smackdown Live

It has just been announced on Twitter that Vince McMahon will make his return to WWE TV this Friday night! Contrary to the rumors, this is not being done to improve the ratings but instead has been planned as part of the ongoing Corporation storyline on Smackdown. According to WWE.com he will address what happened at the close of Halloween Havoc and deliver an ultimatum to HHH and Shane McMahon.

Sheamus due to return soon

The last piece of news coming out of WWE after Halloween Havoc is the imminent return of Sheamus. Sheamus took some time off to heal niggling injuries with his back. He was originally planned to return in the summer to feud with Samoa Joe over the US title but this was canceled when Sheamus had to go to rehab (EWR). Plans for Sheamus are up in the air but he has mentioned in numerous interviews he has one title left to win before retirement: The Intercontinental title.

Brodie Lee update:

So I've come to the decision how I'm going to use Brodie Lee in the future. This will become clear in the next few weeks/shows.

Raw
October 28th:
St Louis, Missouri

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

A loud cheer from the live crowd after the usual intro video. We then cut to Big Show and Michael Cole who are stood by the commentary desk near the top of the entrance ramp as they welcome us to the show.

Michael Cole: It's Monday and you know what that means. Welcome to Monday Night Raw, taking place in St Louis, Missouri!

Big Show: We have a big show in store as we find out the number one contender's for the World tag team titles and for the Women's Universal title as well!

Michael Cole: Not only that but in tonight's main event AJ Styles goes one on one with Ilja Dragunov from the Ungovenables!

*DESTROYER*

Loud boos but some cheers as Samoa Joe the United States champion marches to the ring with a microphone in hand and the United States title over his shoulder! He has a big smile on his face as he steps inside the ring.

Michael Cole: Last week Samoa Joe was able to retain his United States title but not without help from Zelina Vega who attacked Lana backstage.

Big Show: Joe has held onto that title for over seven months but last week was the first time I felt his title reign was in jeopardy.

Samoa Joe is now ready to talk as the crowd carries on the boos. He shakes his head before grabbing his United States title as he lifts it into the air.

Samoa Joe: I said you would have to take this title from my cold dead hands and I meant it!

Joe places the title back on his shoulder.

Samoa Joe: There is a reason I have held this belt for two-hundred and thirty-seven days! I'm not just the toughest person on this roster but I'm also one of the smartest.

Joe smirks as he gets boos from the crowd but Joe shakes his head.

Samoa Joe: Rusev, you should've kept your wife at home!

Loud boos now but Samoa Joe doesn't care.

Samoa Joe: If you want to get to the top of this business, you don't bring your friends into it. You don't bring people you care about into it. No, you leave no weaknesses that a killer like me can exploit.

Once again Joe removes the United States title from his shoulder.

Samoa Joe: The only thing that matters to me whilst I'm here is winning titles and keeping them. Hence why I accepted Zelina's offer last week!

Michael Cole (on commentary): That must mean Samoa Joe is on Team Ungovenables!

Samoa Joe: In return for joining her team at Survivor Series, once we win I get a shot at the Universal title!

Joe places the United States title back on his right shoulder before looking at his left shoulder.

Samoa Joe: See I've run out of challengers for this title and it's time for me...

*ELITE*

Loud cheers from the crowd as Chad Gable makes his way out with a microphone in hand and he is joined by his manager Kurt Angle. Joe looks annoyed whilst Kurt looks a bit wary of Chad Gable stepping inside the ring with Samoa Joe. Once inside the ring, Chad Gable stares at Samoa Joe before pointing at the United States title.

Chad Gable: You say you have no challengers left? Well you're looking at one who is ready willing and...

Fans finish off the line for him as Joe smirks.

Samoa Joe: Oh my mistake Chad, you must have forgotten that I already beat you!

Kurt Angle: That was a very different Chad Gable. Since he has worked with me, he hasn't been pinned or submitted.

Joe takes his eyes off Gable and now turns to Kurt. Joe smirks.

Samoa Joe: Is this what you've been reduced to? Living through someone else. Cause your body finally broke down.

Gable looks angry but Kurt holds his arm out stopping him. Joe smiles sensing he has struck a nerve.

Samoa Joe: A lot of these people don't know but we've gone to war before Kurt. But it looks like only I've lived to fight another day.

Kurt now looks angry but Gable speaks instead.

Chad Gable: You may have beaten me once but it won't happen again. So how about I face you tonight one more time for that United States title?

Samoa Joe stares at Gable before turning to Kurt.

Samoa Joe: The answer is no.

Loud boos from the crowd as Gable shakes his head.

Samoa Joe: I've already beaten you Gable and as far as I'm concerned you're at the back of the line.

Joe at this point takes his leave and starts to walk up the ramp as Gable looks angry before leaning on the ropes.

Chad Gable: Oi Joe!

Joe is about halfway up the ramp as he stops and turns towards the ring smirking.

Chad Gable: You can keep hiding behind the past but I will get another United States title match. And when I do, I'll become United champion, it's true it's damn true!

Joe shakes his head smiling as Chad Gable stares at Samoa Joe definitely.

Michael Cole: Well Joe may think he is out of challengers but Gable disagrees.

Big Show: Gable since losing to Joe has been on a hell of a roll.

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

We return from the commercial break as Chad Gable and Kurt Angle start to walk through the backstage area.

Chad Gable: I will get that title match Kurt.

Kurt Angle: I know you will Chad and I know you have earned it. I will find a way to get you a United States title shot no matter what Joe says.

???: I mean I don't think you have the power to do that anymore Kurt.

Angle and Gable turn around as we see DOLPH ZIGGLER walks into the shot as he chews some gum. Both men look annoyed but Dolph puts his hands up.

Dolph Ziggler: Don't get me wrong I think Gable deserves a shot as well and we have an idea how he can get his title shot.

The camera pans over to show ALEISTER BLACK walk into the shot. He looks stoic as he looks to Gable and offers him a handshake. Gable takes a moment before nodding as he shakes hands with Black officially joining his team at Survivor Series. We then cut back to the commentary team at ringside.

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

Michael Cole: Well the battle lines are being drawn as Team Black has its third member.

Big Show: If Chad Gable can help Team Black pick up the win, then I can't see how our commissioner Paige could deny Chad Gable a United States title shot.

*DONE WITH THAT*

Cheers from the crowd as Jey Uso makes his way out in a hoodie as he sprints down the ramp and jumps over the ropes landing in the ring. He smiles slightly before taking his hoodie off and tosses it to the side as he gets ready for this match.

Michael Cole: Jey Uso has had a bit of a tough time these last few months without his twin brother Jimmy Uso being around but has started to pick up wins in the singles division.

Big Show: Jey Uso has spent most of his career battling for the tag team titles but fighting in the singles division is a different beast. You have no one there to help you, no one to bring into the match when you need a break. You have to get the job done by yourself.

*TOP ONE PERCENT*

Boos from the crowd as the smug EC3 walks out to the ring followed by Drake Maverick. EC3 shakes his head as Jey Uso tells him to bring it on. Drake Maverick has a towel with him as he wipes the sweat off EC3 and opens the ring for him. Once inside EC3 smirks as he dismisses Jey Uso whilst the referee calls for the bell to get this match underway.

Match 1: Jey Uso vs EC3 w/ Drake Maverick

Match summary: Jey Uso starts the match off at a high pace and catches EC3 off-guard forcing him to the outside earlier on. Drake as any good manager does checks on EC3 but Jey Uso ain't waiting on EC3 as he wipes him out with a suicide dive! Jey would then roll EC3 back into the ring but as Jey tries to get back inside the ring, Drake grabs his left foot! Jey responds to this and kicks Drake Maverick off. He climbs inside the ring but EC3 cheap shots him!

EC3 from there takes control of the match and slows down the pace of the match, working over Jey Uso and wearing down the superstar. As we get to the closing stages of the match Jey Uso fights back and takes control as he plants EC3 for a close two count. Jey then heads to the top rope looking for a Diving Splash but Drake grabs his ankle again distracting him! Jey kicks him off and then flies off the top rope... as EC3 gets his knees up! He then rolls Jey up hooking the tights 1 2 3 EC3 steals the win!

Winner via pinfall: EC3 (6:46)

Boos from the crowd as EC3 slides out of the ring smirking and taps his head. He doesn't stick around as he sprints up the ramp, soon followed by Drake Maverick as Jey Uso kicks the ropes in frustration.

Michael Cole: EC3 steals the win!

Big Show: EC3 said he was going to do whatever it takes to pick up victory after victory after victory.

Jey Uso in the ring shouts abuse at EC3 promising payback for this as EC3 smirks and dismisses him as he heads backstage with Drake Maverick as we cut to a commercial break.

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

When we return from the commercial break we can see Sonya Deville getting ready backstage as her tag team partner Mandy Rose walks into the shot.

Mandy Rose: Tonight's a big night for you.

Sonya takes a break from working out and turns to her friend.

Sonya Deville: You ain't wrong Mandy, the chance to become Women's Universal champion. Time to get gold back in our hands after our recent failures.

Mandy Rose: What do you mean by that?

Sonya looks a little confused by Mandy's question.

Sonya Deville: Mandy, we lose the Women's tag team titles, lose to the new rookies on the block and you even lost to one of them last week. We're going through a bit of a rough patch.

Mandy looks annoyed but quickly changes it to a smile.

Mandy Rose: Well how about I come to ringside tonight, to make sure you get the title shot you deserve?

Sonya smiles before putting her hand on Mandy's shoulder.

Sonya Deville: Thanks Mandy but I'll handle this on my own.

Sonya goes back to work out as Mandy smiles until Sonya turns around and walks off shaking her head as we cut elsewhere backstage.

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

We see Renee Young stood by the entrance to the arena as the former Universal champion Seth Rollins makes his way into the building with his suitcase. Renee stops him as she looks to ask him a few questions.

Renee Young: Seth, can I ask you a few questions?

Seth sighs before smiling for Renee and nods.

Seth Rollins: For you? Any time.

Renee Young: Last week AJ Styles and the rest of The Club laid you out as well as Rey Mysterio and The Ungovenables. How do you plan to respond?

Seth takes a moment to think before answering.

Seth Rollins: Honestly Renee, I don't know. These last few weeks, it's felt like the whole world is against me. But AJ and The Club will pay for what they did to me last week.

Renee Young: You mention feeling like the whole world is against you. Is that due to the reaction you have been getting off the fans the last few weeks?

Seth for a spilt second glares at Renee before composing himself and smiling.

Seth Rollins: Listen the fans can react however they want. That's what they pay their money for. I've not even noticed the small number of fans booing me.

Seth shakes his head.

Seth Rollins: But I meant all the superstars in the way of me becoming Universal champion once again. The Ungovenables, The Club, and even Rey Mysterio stand in front of me. But I'm called Monday Night Rollins for a reason and soon I'll be the champion these people deserve once again. Because I always do the right thing.

Renee Young: Seth, I know this might not be my place to say but are you sure you're okay?

Seth pulls a face.

Seth Rollins: Renee I'm fine. You don't have to worry about me. And soon I will have my title back.

Seth walks off on that note as Renee watches him leave as we cut to the commercial break.

*FOR THE BETTER*

A muted reaction from the crowd but there is a small number of cheers as Drew Gulak makes his way to the ring, showing respect to the Cruiserweight for putting on good matches week in week out for the last couple of months.

Michael Cole: Well up next we have two men who have had a rough time of it lately and will be looking to pick up a victory.

Big Show: Drew Gulak is a technical mastermind but he hasn't been able to turn that into victories for himself. But if he can beat Shinsuke Nakamura tonight, it could kick start his career and get him in line for either a Cruiserweight title shot or a United States title shot.

*SHADOWS OF A SETTING SUN*

Boos from the crowd as Shinsuke Nakamura makes his way out with an annoyed expression on his face. No posing and theatrics from the King of Strong Style. He steps into the ring and stares down Drew Gulak and shakes his head.

Michael Cole: We talked about what a win can do for Drew but a loss tonight for Shinsuke could really hurt him.

Big Show: Agreed Michael. He has arguably his worse year in the WWE after winning accolade after accolade in the WWE. He needs to address this slump and quickly.

Match 2: Shinsuke Nakamura vs Drew Gulak

Match summary: Shinsuke may not have the same motivation he had in New Japan but Drew Gulak could get a good match out of a broomstick. Both men start off the match working each other over and battling for control. It is Drew Gulak who controls the match in the early stages using his submissions to work over the legs and arms of Shinsuke Nakamura taking the power away from his hard-hitting kicks and strikes.

Drew Gulak even looks like he might pick up the win a few times but Shinsuke each time makes his way to the ropes and forces Drew Gulak to break the hold. Drew Gulak gets frustrated and this proves to be his undoing as Shinsuke uses that to pounce and takes him down with a SAMOAN DRIVER! Drew falls to the mat and Shinsuke wastes no time as he runs off the ropes and hits the KINSHASA! Shinsuke makes the cover and picks up the win!

Winner via pinfall: Shinsuke Nakamura (11:09)

A mixed reaction from the crowd for this heel vs heel match as Shinsuke gets to his feet and almost looks relieved to have picked up the win against Drew Gulak. He rolls out of the ring keeping the celebration fairly muted.

Michael Cole: Shinsuke picks up the win but Drew Gulak made him work for it.

Big Show: Drew Gulak tested Shinsuke tonight but it is another loss for Drew Gulak who is on a bit of a losing streak at the moment.

In the ring, Drew Gulak shakes his head and is clearly frustrated with another loss as he heads up the ramp.

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

We then cut backstage as we can see the Raw commissioner Paige is on her way to the ring!

Michael Cole: Well up next after the commercial break, we will hear from the Raw commissioner Paige as she looks to sort out the issues between Becky Lynch and Shayna Baszler. Don't go anywhere!

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

*STARS IN THE NIGHT*

Loud cheers from the crowd as the Raw commissioner makes her way out and unusually doesn't play up to the crowd's reaction instead heading straight to the ring. Once inside she looks to the live crowd and looks to address them.

Paige: Over the last few months we have seen the issues between Shayna Baszler and Becky Lynch escalate.

Paige sighs as she paces around the ring and looks to the camera.

Paige: Both women have caused injuries to other members of the roster. And I can't keep having these two running through my roster so this needs to come to an end.

Cheers from the crowd as Paige nods along with the crowd’s reaction.

Paige: So let's get both women out here and find a solution to the problem. Starting with the Queen of Spades Shayna Baszler!

*LOYALTY IS EVERYTHING*

Boos from the crowd as Shayna Baszler makes her way out to the ring. She has a smug smirk on her face and has sunglasses on the top of her head. She steps into the ring and leans on the ropes as Paige carries on.

Paige: And The Man Becky Lynch!

*CELTIC INVASION*

Becky Lynch marches out getting a massive pop from the crowd. She is in a leather jacket and leather pants as well as she slides into the ring and heads straight for Shayna but Paige gets in the way stopping her. Shayna though responds by taunting her. Paige though gets Becky to back off and then turns to Shayna pointing at her.

Paige: That's enough! Both of you!

Shayna shakes her head as Becky signals to someone at ringside who gives her a microphone.

Becky Lynch: You want this to end Paige? Give me Shayna as the Man is looking to collect one more arm.

Shayna now has a microphone of her own and shakes her head.

Shayna Baszler: The only one whose arm is getting broken is you!

Becky Lynch: Come on Shayna why don't we go right now?

Becky tosses her leather jacket to the side but Shayna smirks.

Shayna Baszler: Becky when are you going to learn that you don't make the rules, I do.

Boos from the crowd as Becky looks angry but Paige keeps her from jumping on Shayna.

Shayna Baszler: I'm a prizefighter. You don't give away the ass-kicking for free without any promotion!

Becky Lynch: Then how about you stop stalling! Name the time and the place I will break your arm!

Loud pop as Shayna smirks.

Shayna Baszler: Fine. Let's do this at Survivor Series!

Cheers from the crowd as Shayna steps forward with Paige again keeping Becky back, worried a fight is about to break out between the two women.

Shayna Baszler: Your career, it ignited around this time last year because someone injured you and Ronda didn't get the chance to break your arm one. This year, there is no escape and I will end your career, where it should have ended last year!

Becky though shakes her head and looks to speak.

Becky Lynch: Did Ronnie tell you to say that? Or is she still in hiding like the little bitch she is?

Loud cheers from the crowd Becky did a swear.

Becky Lynch: Ronda got lucky and just delayed meeting her maker. I mean where has she been since I beat her at Wrestlemania and became Becky2belts? At Survivor Series I send you to the same place I sent her. The same place I sent your two goons. Because the Man always comes around!

Becky drops the microphone as the two women come head to head as they stare each other down ready to go to war right now. Paige though keeps them separate.

Paige: It's official at Survivor Series it will be The Man Becky Lynch versus the Queen of Spades Shayna Baszler at Survivor Series.

Both women stare each other down whilst the crowd cheer for the match being made official. Neither woman breaks eye contact as we cut to a commercial break with a massive match being made official for Survivor Series.

When we return from the commercial break we can see Bobby Lashley is working out in a gym and lifting weights as he gets ready for his match with Brock Lesnar at Survivor Series. We then cut to video clips of his time in MMA as we see him picking up win after win after win. We then cut back to Bobby Lashley working out as we get to hear from the Big Man.

Bobby Lashley: All I ever hear people talk about is how Brock Lesnar is the most legit athlete in WWE.

Lashley slams the weight down and gets his feet pointing at the camera.

Bobby Lashley: Brock Lesnar's record in MMA pales in comparison to mine. I have fifteen wins in seventeen matches! Six by knockout,

We see a clip of some of the knockouts by Bobby Lashley.

Bobby Lashley: And six by submission!

We then see clips of Lashley picking up wins in MMA via submission.

Bobby Lashley: Do you know why I came back to the WWE? I didn't come back to talk about my sisters. I didn't come back even to win titles. No, I came back to fight you!

Bobby Lashley cranks his neck.

Bobby Lashley: However thanks to Heyman, you've been ducking me for over a year. Well no more, at Survivor Series I prove who the most legit athlete is. I prove the real MMA beast and I finally get the chance to beat you.

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

Michael Cole: Strong words from Bobby Lashley and he will get the chance to back those words up as he is in action next week.

Big Show: Lashley might be the only superstar in the WWE who can compete with Brock when it comes to strength and power.

We then cut to the ring as Ariya Davari is stood in the ring ready for a match.

*WEEKEND ROCKSTAR*

Boos from the crowd as Noam Dar makes his way out with a smirk on his face. He poses and taunts the crowd as he makes his way to the ring.

Michael Cole: Last week Noam Dar gloated after his sickening assault on Mustafa Ali.

Big Show: I thought losing the Cruiserweight title might humble Noam Dar but it seems to have done the opposite and he is demanding the Cruiserweight title is awarded to him if Mustafa Ali does not return in the next thirty days.

Michael Cole: Well that would be up to Paige to decide not Noam Dar but either way, I don't see Mustafa Ali waiting too long to get his hands on Dar.

Big Show: If I know Ali as soon as he is healed, he won't be hiding from Dar. He will demand a match with him straight away.

Back in the ring, Dar is still mocking the fans and some how making Davari likable. The referee then calls for the bell to get this match underway!

Match 3: Noam Dar vs Ariya Davari

Match summary: Dar's cocky attitude would cost him in the early stages of the match as Davari uses it to catch him off-guard with a kick to the head. Davari even gets a few moves off on the Scottish Supernova until Dar cuts him off with a brutal chop block to the right leg! From there Dar works over Davari and weakens his leg. He works over it before finally locking in the CHAMPAGNE SUPERKNEEBAR! Davari is in a ton of pain and quickly taps out!

Winner via submission: Noam Dar (3:27)

Dar keeps the hold on after the match as the referee tells him to let go. Dar keeps it on for a few more seconds before finally letting go. He gets to his feet and jumps onto the top rope as he celebrates like he won the World cup.

Michael Cole: Noam Dar picks up the win.

Big Show: When someone is as cocky as Noam Dar, it can be hard to remember how good they actually are.

Noam Dar slides to the outside and makes his way to the timekeeper's area as he snatches a microphone from them.

Noam Dar: Did you see that Ali? Did you see what just happened?

Boos from the crowd as Dar smirks to himself.

Noam Dar: The clocks ticking Ali. Either you have to come back injured and I end your career or you do the right thing and vacate that title!

Boos from the crowd as Dar smirks.

Noam Dar: The title belongs around my waist!

Dar tosses the microphone to the timekeeper and poses once again taunting the crowd. He starts to walk up the ramp and poses again getting even more boos from the crowd as we cut to commercial break.

When we return from the commercial break, we see Jey Uso talking to his friends Heath Slater and Zack Ryder.

Jey Uso: For all his talk about wanting to prove he should be the one getting opportunities, he has to cheat me.

Zack Ryder: He's a coward bro.

Heath Slater: Listen if you need any back-up on the outside you know where we are.

Jey fist bumps the pair.

Jey Uso: I'll hold you two to that.

The pair nod and head elsewhere backstage as Charly Caruso walks up to Jey Uso looking for an interview.

Jey Uso: Hey Charly, what's up?

Charly Caruso: A tough loss to EC3 tonight in no small part thanks to Drake Maverick.

Jey Uso: He may be a small man but he was a big help to EC3. But since he wants to stick his nose in EC3's matches, how about both of them step in the ring with me next week?

Charly Caruso: Are you challenging them to a handicap match?

Jey chuckles and puts her arm on Charly's shoulder.

Jey Uso: Oh Charly, do I look stupid to you? It won't be a handicap match. No, it will be a tag team match and you'll find out my tag team partner next week!

Jey Uso walks off bringing the interview to an end as we cut elsewhere backstage.

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

We see Rusev is in a medical room as his wife is being checked on after Zelina Vega's attack last week. She is clearly in pain as Rusev looks very concerned.

Rusev: She's going to pay for what she did to you. Her, Samoa Joe, and the rest of The Ungovenables. I'm going to crush every single one of them right now!

Lana: Rusev, RUSEV!

Lana leans forward as she shouts and pushes past the medic as she limps over to her husband and tries to keep him calm.

Lana: Rusev, you are my Bulgarian Brute but you can't fight that many men at once. Not even you.

???: It's been a long time since I've said this about her but she's right y'know.

The camera pans over as we see DOLPH ZIGGLER walk into the ring in a nice suit jacket as he is clearly chewing gum. Rusev looks annoyed and gets right in Ziggler's face.

Rusev: My wife is injured and you think this is the time for jokes?

Dolph puts his hands up.

Dolph Ziggler: Whoa whoa whoa. I come in peace.

Rusev looks a little confused until we see ALEISTER BLACK walk into the medical room as well. He cuts a stoic imposing figure as he looks at Rusev.

Aleister Black: You want to make Zelina pay for hurting your wife? Join my team at Survivor Series and you will be able to extract your revenge.

Rusev takes a moment to think as Black extends his hand. Rusev nods and shakes hands with Black. He then turns to Dolph Ziggler.

Rusev: But no more jokes about my wife.

Dolph puts his hands up.

Dolph Ziggler: Hey, I'm a man of honor which Lana can...

Lana: I'd stop talking Dolph.

Dolph Ziggler: Not the first time you said that to me.

Rusev glares at him as Dolph signals he is going to leave. Rusev looks at Lana as they share a smile whilst Black watches on with a blank emotionless stare on his face. We then cut elsewhere backstage once again.

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

We see The Ungovenables walking towards the ring with Zelina Vega leading the way but the group are stopped in their tracks by Renee Young.

Renee Young: Zelina, I know you are on the way to the ring as Andrade is in action but can I ask you a few questions.

Zelina Vega: Of course you want to ask us a few questions. We hold the power on this brand. Why wouldn't you want to hear what we have to say.

Andrade Cien Almas shows off his Universal title as Zelina carries on.

Zelina Vega: But make it quick.

Renee Young: Last week you attacked Lana backstage and helped Samoa Joe win in return for him joining your team at Survivor Series. May I ask why you picked Samoa Joe for your team?

Zelina Vega: I mean isn't it obvious? The only champion in this company who comes close to being as dominant as Andrade is going to be is Samoa Joe. He has held the United States title for over two hundred days and with him on our team, our victory is even easier than it was before. Hell, we might not even need a fifth member.

Renee Young: Can I also ask how you're preparing not only Andrade but Ilja Dragunov for their matches tonight?

Zelina Vega: Why would I give you my secrets?

Vega rolls her eyes before pointing at Ilja Dragunov.

Zelina Vega: Ilja tonight in the main event will give AJ a taste of what he is in for when he steps into the ring at Survivor Series. And right now, Andrade is going to show Zack Ryder why Andrade will stay Universal champion for a long time.

Zelina at that point walks away and is soon followed by the rest of the Ungovenables as they head towards the ring.

Michael Cole: Up next, The Universal champion is in action as he takes on Zack Ryder. Don't go anywhere.

*RADIO*

A decent pop from the live crowd as Zack Ryder makes his way out. He does a few fist pumps in the air as he tries to get the crowd hyped up before heading to the ring.

Michael Cole: Last week at one of our many house show events that you can see tickets for below, Zack Ryder's tag team partner and best friend Curt Hawkins picked up a serious injury putting him out of action for many months.

Big Show: It's a shame for Curt Hawkins as the pair of them had gotten in a groove and even became tag team champions once again earlier this year.

Michael Cole: Tonight though presents an opportunity for Zack Ryder to break out on his own as he takes on the Universal champion Andrade!

Big Show: I mean people forget that Zack is a former Intercontinental and United States champion. A win over the current Universal title will remind them of Zack Ryder's ability in the ring.

*GANGSTER'S PARADISE*

Boos from the crowd as The Ungovenables make their way out lead by Andrade Cien Almas and Zelina Vega. The champion once inside the ring makes sure to pose for the crowd and even shoves his Universal title in Zack's face, annoying Ryder. Andrade passes his title to Zelina Vega who looks after it. The referee then calls for the bell to get this match underway!

Match 4: Andrade Cien Almas w/The Ungovenables vs Zack Ryder

Match summary: Zack Ryder starts the match off at a fast pace and catches Andrade by surprise. However, it very quickly becomes clear Andrade is on another level in comparison to Ryder and starts to pick him apart. On the outside, the Ungovenables just watch on with none of them looking to get involved in the match. In the end, Andrade hits Zack Ryder with the HAMMERLOCK DDT to pick up the win!

Winner via pinfall: Andrade Cien Almas (5:21)

Andrade gets to his feet as he enjoys the boos from the crowd. Zelina Vega slides into the ring and passes her main client his title as he poses in the ring, soon joined by the rest of The Ungovenables.

Michael Cole: Credit to Zack Ryder he put up a decent fight but in the end, Andrade Cien Almas was too much for him to overcome.

Big Show: Andrade is one of the best wrestlers in the world at the moment and there is no shame in losing to him.

The Ungovenables carry on their celebrations in the ring whilst Zack Ryder gets to his feet on the outside, disappointed to have lost tonight as we then cut backstage.

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

And we see REY MYSTERIO watching backstage on one of their TV monitors. As he turns around we see Charly Caruso walk into the shot.

Charly Caruso: Rey can I ask your thoughts on what you've just seen?

Rey Mysterio: Andrade is one of the best wrestlers in the world, there is no doubt about that but I don't like the way he goes about his victories. Hiding behind Zelina time and time again.

Charly Caruso: How are you preparing for Survivor Series?

Rey Mysterio: Everyone in that match is great, I mean some would say they are phenomenal but everyone in that match I have beaten before and I know I can do it again. I held that Universal title for a moment but at Survivor Series I will hold it once again.

Charly Caruso: Thank you for your time, Rey.

Rey Mysterio: Sorry Charly but I've got one more thing to say.

Charly turns back around as Rey smiles and addresses the camera.

Rey Mysterio: Aleister, I know you're looking for a fifth man for your team. Well, I have someone in mind who would be perfect for your team.

Rey smiles as we cut back to the commentary team at ringside.

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

Michael Cole: I wonder who Rey has in mind for Black's team at Survivor Series?

Big Show: Rey is a veteran of the business and knows a lot of great athletes. Black would be smart to listen to Rey and take him up on his offer of a fifth man.

Michael Cole: Well up next we find out who faces Sasha Banks for the Universal Women's title at Survivor Series. Don't go anywhere!

*SKY'S THE LIMIT*

Boos from the crowd as the Boss Sasha Banks makes her way out as we return from the commercial break. She poses and mocks the fans as she stands at the top of the entrance ramp.

Michael Cole: Well up next, we will see six women go head to head as we find out who will fight The Boss Sasha Banks at Survivor Series.

Big Show: And it looks like the Women's Universal champion is joining us on commentary!

Michael Cole: Welcome Sasha. I'm guessing you're out here to see first hand who you're going to face at Survivor Series?

Sasha Banks: Why else would I be out here and next to someone like you? Of course, I want to see who I'm going to beat at Survivor Series.

*FORTUNE RISING*

A quiet reaction from the live crowd as the rookie makes her way out. Taynara Conti joins her on the entrance ramp as she hugs her friend and wishes her luck.

Michael Cole: Xia Li comes into this match with the least experience of everyone in the match but don't count her out.

Sasha Banks: Xia Li, has a great martial arts background but to get on the Boss's level she is going to need a lot more than a good background.

Big Show: Are you underestimating her already Sasha?

Sasha Banks: No one male or female is on my level. So no I'm not underestimating her because no matter how good she is, I'm better.

*OBSESSION*

Boos from the crowd but it is fairly muted as the veteran Mickie James makes her way to the ring. Once she gets to ringside she shouts abuse at Xia Li and demands she holds the ropes open for a “fricking legend and a veteran of the business”. Nervously Xia Li opens the ropes for the veteran and shows her respect, which Mickie treats with total disrespect.

Sasha Banks: If that was me, I'd punch Mickie in the mouth for speaking to me like that.

Michael Cole: Where Xia Li comes from, you always show respect to your elders.

Big Show: I'm guessing if you had to face Mickie James, you wouldn't be showing her any respect?

Sasha Banks: I don't give a damn if someone is a “legend”, I'll beat their ass just the same if they step to me and try to take my title!

*SQUARE UP*

Boos from the crowd as Sonya Deville makes her way out and starts shadow boxing as she makes her way to the ring. Once she steps inside the ring says a few words to Xia Li and talks trash to her, ignoring the legend Mickie James.

Michael Cole: Thoughts on the challenge Sonya Deville's MMA background could provide?

Sasha Banks: Listen Sonya is tough and comes from an MMA background. But if she faces me at Survivor Series, I'm the only one walking out with the title.

*NUMBER ONE*

Cheers from the crowd but it is a fairly quiet reaction as Mia Yim makes her entrance. As she walks out she turns her attention to Sasha Banks on commentary.

Sasha Banks: What you looking at? You want another beating?

Mia smirks though and shakes her head as she walks to the ring and stands next to Xia Li causing Sonya Deville to back off for a moment. Mickie meanwhile heads to the outside as she waits for the other two entrants.

*THE NEXT VOYAGE*

Loud cheers from the crowd as the pirate princess makes her way out. She has her telescope in hand and looks towards the ring before turning to look at Sasha Banks on commentary.

Michael Cole: It looks like Mia Yim and Kairi Sane are not done with you yet.

Sasha Banks: I already beat them both. I shouldn't have to prove myself against either of them again.

Kairi Sane finally finishes with the telescope and heads to the ring, jumping over the ropes. Kairi Sane and Mia Yim have a staredown as they both give each other a nod showing respect to the other for their time in NXT.

*TURN IT UP*

The loudest pop of the six women as Bayley makes her way out. She looks at Sasha on commentary before turning to the ring and sprints down the ramp, determined to get another shot at Sasha Banks. Once in the ring, she shares a hug with her friend Kairi.

Michael Cole: Sasha thoughts on the prospect of facing Bayley again?

Sasha Banks: Did you not hear what I said about Mia Yim and Kairi Sane? I beat Bayley just like I beat those two. They need to go to the back of the line!

Back in the ring the referee gets all six women in the ring and calls for the bell to get this match underway!

Match 5: Number one contender's match: Bayley vs Mia Yim vs Sonya Devile vs Xia Li vs Mickie James vs Kairi Sane

Match summary: A fun and chaotic affair which even goes through an ad break. Throughout the match we see the friends Bayley and Kairi Sane teaming up to take down their opponents during different parts of the match before fighting each other. We also see Mickie James convincing Sonya to work with her before turning on the young superstar. We also see Mia Yim putting on a good showing throughout the match. During the match, Sasha Banks on commentary puts over the wrestlers in the ring but also praises them. We get to the closing stages as Mia Yim and Mickie James end up battling on the outside.

It spills into the crowd taking them out of the match! Back in the ring, Kairi Sane is battling Sonya as she locks in a KIMURA on the pirate princess and looks like she might be about to win as Xia Li connects with several kicks fighting off Sonya. Xia Li finishes it off with CYCLONE KICK! Xia Li makes the cover but Bayley breaks it! Bayley lifts Xia Li up hitting her with the BAYLEY TO BELLY! Bayley makes the cover 1 2 3 Bayley wins and will face Sasha Banks at Survivor Series!

Winner via pinfall: Bayley (16:21)

A loud pop from the live crowd as Bayley gets to her feet as just outside the ring, we see Kairi Sane was just short of breaking the cover. Sasha Banks on commentary meanwhile looks furious.

Michael Cole: Well Sasha it looks like it will be you versus...

Sasha tosses the headset to the side in a fit of rage and storms off heading backstage as we are left with Bayley in the ring celebrating her victory tonight as we cut to a commercial break.

When we return from the commercial break we see Mia Yim and Mickie James backstage as they are still fighting. We see a bunch of backstage personnel coming onto the scene as they break it up and pull the two women apart. Paige then walks into the shot as she points to the two women.

Paige: OK that's enough out of you two. If you two want to fight so bad, next week you two will go one on one with each other.

Mia and Mickie stare each other down as Mickie lets out a slight smirk.

Mickie James: And I'll show you what happens when you mess with a freaking legend.

Mickie James walks off as Mia Yim pulls herself away from the official and glares at Mickie James as cut elsewhere backstage.

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

We see The Club are stood in what looks to be their own clubhouse which seems to double as a bar. AJ is stood front and center whilst The Good Brothers stand behind him, towering over their leader.

AJ Styles: Tonight we have been relaxing and getting ready for celebrations. Do you want to know why? Because tonight we get things back on track.

Karl Anderson: Last week we mowed down the competition and showed them who really runs this brand.

Luke Gallows: Not those Street Profit nerds, not the Ungovenables, not Rey or his family and certainly not Seth Rollins.

AJ Styles: We run this show! My boys, they are about to become the number one contender's and take back their tag team titles from the Authors of Pain.

Karl Anderson: You may think you are the authors of pain but we wrote the book on causing pain, beating teams around the world.

AJ Styles: And I get to show Andrade a taste of what he is in for, by beating Ilja Dragunov. I want you out there tonight Andrade, to see first hand what a Phenomenal superstar looks like. And when we hold all the gold, it will be too sweet.

All three do the signature taunt and walk off out of shot.

Michael Cole: Up next, after the commercial break we will find out the number one contender's for the World tag team titles. Don't go anywhere!

*ANCIENT SPIRIT*

Cheers from the crowd as we return from the commercial break and see the Lucha Dragons are on the way to the ring. Kalisto and Sin Cara slap hands with a few of the kids in the front row, helping them get hyped up before jumping over the ropes and landing in the ring as they pose for the crowd.

Michael Cole: Well I'm just getting word from backstage that another match has been made official for next week's Raw.

Big Show: That's right Michael. EC3 and Drake Maverick will take on Jey Uso and a mystery partner. I wonder who it is Michael?

*BRING THE SWAG*

Loud cheers from the crowd as The Street Profits make their way out getting cheers from the live crowd. The pair toss their empty red cups into the crowd for the fans before jumping over the ropes. Montez Ford runs to the ropes facing the hard camera and does a wild shake of the ropes like only he can.

Michael Cole: The Street Profits have been this close to the tag team titles on several occasions on NXT and Raw. A win tonight and they are one match away from finally getting their hands on gold.

Big Show: I only worry that the longer the pair wait for gold, the more their confidence will be shaken.

*OMEN IN THE SKY*

A mixed reaction from the live crowd as The Good Brothers walk out and they look focused. They march down the ramp with a purpose and step into the ring as they lock eyes with The Street Profits. Both teams trade words with each other in the ring ignoring the Lucha Dragons.

Michael Cole: The Good Brothers will be desperate to win this match and earn the chance to fight for the World tag team titles that they lost in Mexico.

Big Show: And they will also want to get their hands on the Street Profits blaming them for the loss.

Street Profits and The Good Brothers don't take their eyes off each other as The Lucha Dragons look at each other and head to the ring apron. In the ring, Montez Ford and Luke Gallows start the match off for their teams.

Match 6: Number one contender's triple threat tag team match: The Club vs The Street Profits vs The Lucha Dragons

Match summary: Just like before the bell, The Street Profits, and The Good Brothers are fixated on beating each other. However, the Lucha Dragons would interject themselves into the match throughout and catch both teams off-guard with their Lucha skills. And this proves to be the constant pattern as we head to the finish. With Gallows and Dawkins the legal men, Karl Anderson and Montez Ford end up brawling on the outside and fighting in the crowd. In the ring, Luke Gallows sends Angelo Dawkins into the corner allowing Sin Cara to tag himself in. From there Kalisto takes out Angelo Dawkins and the Lucha Dragons double team Gallows. Once he is down on the mat, Sin Cara hits him with the FALLING STAR (Diving senton). Sin Cara makes the cover and the Lucha Dragons win!

Winners via pinfall: Lucha Dragons (10:05)

Sin Cara and Kalisto get to their feet as Karl Anderson and Montez Ford stop fighting as they realize what just happened!

Michael Cole: The Street Profits and The Good Brothers’ obsession with each other cost them the match!

Big Show: Both teams were so pre-occupied with each other that they forgot about the Lucha Dragons at times and you just can't do that in the WWE.

The Lucha Dragons soon head backstage as they celebrate their win tonight and are now one match away from becoming World tag team champions. Meanwhile, on the outside, we can see The Good Brothers and Street Profits are at each other's throats as they blame each other for the loss. And it soon turns to blows as the teams fire off on each other! A horde of referees come out and break up the fighting as they try to batter their rivals.

Michael Cole: We will try to get this situation under control, when we return from the commercial break we will see The Phenomenal One AJ Styles take on Ilja Dragunov in singles action, don't go anywhere!

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

When we return from the commercial break, we see the referees are finally getting the Street Profits to head backstage. The Good Brothers are still talking trash and shouting abuse at them as they leave.

*PHENOMENAL*

A mixed reaction from the crowd as AJ Styles makes his way out to the ring. He speaks to the Good Brothers and gets them to calm down. He two sweets the two men and they head down the ramp as a unit ahead of the main event.

Michael Cole: Well the Good Brothers are going to stay out even after their loss as they look to support their boy AJ tonight.

Big Show: The Good Brothers know how much of an effect the numbers game on the outside can play so they will want to stop the Ungovenables from causing trouble.

*SOVIET MARCH*

The Ungovenables make their way out as Ilja Dragunov charges down the ramp, sprinting ahead of the Ungovenables as Zelina smiles. Dominik Dijkaovic and Cesaro make their way to ringside whilst the Universal champion Andrade Cien Almas and Zelina Vega take a seat on commentary.

Michael Cole: Welcome Zelina and Andrade. May I ask why you're not watching from ringside?

Zelina Vega: Michael, my clients are the best in the world. They don't need me there to hold their hand for them during every match.

Andrade Cien Almas: We run this show. Not Seth, not AJ Styles, and certainly not that perro Rey Mysterio.

Main event: AJ Styles w/Luke Gallows vs Ilja Dragunov w/The Ungovenables

Match summary: AJ early on takes control and works over the smaller competitor. AJ gets cocky and starts mocking Ilja which only serves to piss off the mad Russian. Ilja after the initial start makes a comeback and starts hammering AJ Styles with several hard chops to the chest as he batters AJ and turns his chest bright red. AJ is not sure how to respond as Ilja keeps up the assault and is really catching the Phenomenal One off-guard during the match!

Zelina and Andrade on commentary put him over and talk about his background fighting his way through Europe. Zelina and Andrade also call Seth Rollins a coward and a fake hero! Back in the ring AJ though fights back and tries to enter a chopping battle with Ilja but he can't match the Cruiserweight when it comes to hard strikes! AJ though being a crafty veteran gets back in the match by targeting the legs of Ilja and slows him down. As we get to the closing stages AJ Styles grabs hold of Ilja's leg and locks him in the CALF CRUSHER!

Ilja is in a ton of pain in the hold as he teases taping out but grits his teeth. Zelina says Ilja is too crazy to just tap out and we see him crawling to the ropes and he breaks the hold. However, as that happens we hear a commotion on commentary as SETH ROLLINS MAKES HIS WAY OUT CONFRONTING ZELINA AND ANDRADE CIEN ALMAS! He dares Zelina and Andrade to call him a coward to his face. Zelina tries to keep Andrade calm but Andrade leaves the booth and gets into it with Seth on the ramp.

Seth makes a comment calling Andrade the real coward as Andrade clocks him in the jaw! From there a fight breaks out at the top of the ramp which distracts The Ungovenables who head up the ramp to help their leader. Back in the ring, AJ looks for the PHENOMENAL FOREARM but Ilja catches him with a mid-air European uppercut! Ilja then heads to the corner as Gallows distracts the referee! Anderson then trips Ilja up as he lines up for TORPEDO MOSCOW! AJ uses this to his advantage and grabs Ilja hitting him with the STYLES CLASH! AJ makes the cover 1 2 3 AJ Styles picks up another win.

Winner via pinfall: AJ Styles (14:21)

AJ Styles gets to his feet whilst on the outside of the ring Andrade with the help of The Ungovenables hits Seth Rollins with a HAMMERLOCK DDT ON THE ENTRANCE RAMP! AJ and The Good Brothers meanwhile carry on their celebrations in the ring, oblivious to what is going on until the rest of the Ungovenables storm the ring and clobber them from behind as Zelina Vega shouts instructions at her clients. The group beats down the trio and are in total control as they look to get payback for last week's attack.

Michael Cole: Well AJ picked up the win but he doesn't feel like a winner right now.

Big Show: Same as Seth who came out during the match and got into it with the champion but the numbers game is proving to be too much to stop.

*BOOYAKA 619*

Rey Mysterio sprints down the ramp and jumps into the ring as he flies off the ropes, hitting Andrade! He lays in several punches to the champ but Cesaro drags him off and looks to lift him into the air... REY COUNTERS WITH A HURRICARNA! Dijakovic charges in going for a big boot but Rey slides underneath him and SPRINGBOARDS OFF THE ROPES WIPING HIM OUT WITH A CROSSBODY! Rey gets to his feet... TORPEDO MOSCOW FROM ILJA DRAGUNOV! The numbers game is proving too much for even Rey Mysterio here as Andrade and the rest start to recover. On the outside, Seth Rollins is slowly getting to his feet and sees what is happening in the ring but doesn't charge in straight away. He stands there for a good 15 seconds until...

*ROOT OF ALL EVIL*

Aleister Black's music hits as he marches out but he is not alone as he is joined by Rusev, Chad Gable, and Dolph Ziggler! All four men charge down the ramp and slide into the ring as they attack the Ungovenables. Seth seeing this also slides into the ring and soon the Ungovenables are sent out of the ring by the 5 men. The Club and Rey Mysterio soon get to their feet as well and Zelina tells her men to leave.

Michael Cole: Well it looks Zelina wants her clients to retreat for now.

Big Show: And in that ring you see how many enemies the Ungovenables have made especially Andrade. Once you become Universal champion, everyone is after you.

Back in the ring Rey thanks everyone on Team Black for their help before leaving the ring with Aleister Black as they talk to each other, surely discussing who Rey had in mind as the fifth man for Team Black. Seth though looks annoyed he was blanked but AJ confronts him in the ring as the pair looks like coming to blows but the rest of Team Black and The Club keep them from fighting as Raw fades to black.

Friday night Smackdown
November 1st
Buffalo, New York

Smackdown starts with a recap package that goes over what happened in the main event of Halloween Havoc. We see the war Roman Reigns and Drew McIntyre went through in Hell in a Cell including the spot where Roman speared Drew McIntyre through the cell wall! We then see the chaos in the closing stages as The Corporation break into the cell and the people coming out to stop them as Roman escapes with the victory. We then finish the recap with Drew on top of the cell as he threw Elias off the Cell and through the announce table below!

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

We then cut to the commentary team as Corey Graves and Byron Saxton are sat at ringside.

Byron Saxton: It's Friday night and you know what that means!

Corey Graves: We are five nights removed from Halloween Havoc and it was a crazy night.

Byron Saxton: As you just saw Roman Reigns retained his WWE title inside the Hell in a Cell thanks to the Corporation, who broke into the cell after Roman speared Drew through the cell wall!

Corey Graves: And Drew McIntyre like the sore loser he is responded by tossing Elias off the cell!

Byron Saxton: He did warn the Corporation last week that if they got involved he would have no problem tossing them off the Cell!

Corey Graves: He might have ended Elias's career last night!

Byron Saxton: Funny I don't remember you acting like this after The War Raiders potentially ended Matt Hardy's career?

Corey Graves: Thanks for reminding me Byron. In tonight's main event The War Raiders after their win over the Hardy Boyz take on The Miz and John Morrison in tag team action!

Byron Saxton: Not only that but tonight we find out who will face the WWE Women's champion Asuka at Survivor Series in a fatal four-way match between Nikki Cross, Liv Morgan, Lacey Evans, and Carmella!

A massive pop as the iconic theme music of VINCE MCMAHON hits as he makes his way out and does his signature walk to the ring.

Byron Saxton: When was the last time we saw Vince McMahon on TV?

Corey Graves: That's how serious this situation between The Corporation and its enemies is. He promised an appearance tonight as he looks to get the show under control.

Vince McMahon is now stood in the ring as he waits for the crowd reaction to die down.

Vince McMahon: Hello Buffalo, New York. It's been a while since I've been out here in front of you people but I had to come out here and take action!

Vince shakes his head.

Vince McMahon: Over these last few months this war between Shane's Corporation and the rest of the roster has gotten out of hand! Two of my superstars are out of action after Halloween Havoc. Both of their careers are potentially over goddamnit!

Vince then points to the titantron and we then cut to clips of Elias being tossed from the cell but also Matt Hardy being chokeslammed off the stage as well. We cut back to Vince in the ring.

Vince McMahon: Superstars being out injured means they can't earn make me money damn it!

Vince still has the same old priorities.

Vince McMahon: I have years of experience in charge of the WWE and in my time I've learned one thing. When the roster is out of control it means there is problems with the management!

Mixed reaction with some taking it as a dig at HHH and others taking it as a dig at Shane McMahon.

Vince McMahon: Paul and Shane, I want you both to come out here right now!

No music as HHH and Shane McMahon make their way out. Shane McMahon walks to the ring with a limp due to the injury to his leg a couple of months ago on Smackdown. Both men get into the ring, with Shane McMahon getting a little help from the ringside crew.

Vince McMahon: Paul I sent you here to get this show under control due to Shane's poor management and general failures.

HHH: Vince I have tried to get this show under control but Shane's bias caused what happened at Halloween Havoc. The whole point of the Cell was to keep the Corporation out!

Shane McMahon: My “bias” is what's taking this brand to new heights! Roman is someone you've held back over the years and you just don't want to see him as champion. You want one of your NXT stars like Drew as champion to prove that your baby is the future.

Boos from the crowd as HHH gets in Shane's face.

HHH: NXT is the future!

Loud cheers from the crowd as HHH gets in Shane McMahon's face.

HHH: Not only did the Corporation ruin the WWE title match but they also ruined the WWE tag team titles match!

Shane McMahon: If Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn stayed out of our way, the Corporation wouldn't have cost them their tag team titles!

Vince McMahon: That is enough! Stop this right now!

Vince coming off as a dad trying to get his kids under control.

Vince McMahon: I should fire you both for what's happened but I'm going to give you both the chance to prove you should be in charge of this brand!

Both HHH and Shane McMahon turn to Vince McMahon as the owner of WWE carries on.

Vince McMahon: You will both pick seven superstars for a traditional Survivor Series match! And the loser will no longer be commissioner for Smackdown!

Loud cheers from the crowd, excited at the prospect of a massive Survivor Series match. HHH and Shane McMahon stare each other down in the ring as Vince McMahon takes his leave.

Corey Graves: A massive match has been signed off for Survivor Series and the losing captain will be removed from power!

Byron Saxton: And both teams will have no shortage of superstars to choose from for the match! Well up next after the commercial break, we will see Jinder Mahal taking on Cedric Alexander. Don't go anywhere.

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

When we return from the commercial break, we see Ricochet arriving at the arena as Kayla Braxton approaches him.

Kayla Braxton: Ricochet, can I get a few words?

Ricochet nods.

Kayla Braxton: Last night's main event ended in total chaos and even saw you diving off the side of the cell? Why did you join in the fight against the Corporation during the main event?

Ricochet: I may have come up short when fighting Roman Reigns for the Universal title but that doesn't mean I'm going to stop fighting for what's right. I want to be a superhero that kids can believe in like the ones I believed in as a child.

Kayla Braxton: So I take that as confirmation you will be joining Team Triple H at Survivor Series?

Ricochet goes to respond but LUKE HARPER TAKES HIS HEAD OFF WITH A BIG BOOT! Luke Harper grabs the high flier and tosses him through the arena door into the parking lot. Harper batters Ricochet and tosses the high flier around. Harper stalks Ricochet but the human highlight reel gets a few kicks in as he fends Harper off for a moment.

Ricochet then runs to the wall and springboards off it going for RECOIL... HARPER COUNTERS INTO A SIT-OUT POWERBOMB ONTO CONCRETE! Ricochet's back lands with a hard thud on the parking lot floor as Harper looks at him and tilts his head. We see some officials finally come out to stop this but Harper PUSHES THEM OUT OF THE WAY! He drags Ricochet up and tosses him into the side of a car.

He then drags Ricochet up off the car park floor and carries him onto the car with him. He takes a moment to lift Ricochet into the air and POWERBOMBS HIM ONTO THE ROOF OF THE CAR! The windscreen breaks as Ricochet is laid out. Harper smiles as he looks at Ricochet and looks satisfied with his handiwork tonight. He jumps off the car and onto the parking lot floor as he walks off leaving a bunch of medics and backstage officials to check on Ricochet as we cut back to ringside.

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

Byron Saxton: What a horrific attack by Luke Harper? Why did he do that?

Corey Graves: I don't know but Luke Harper is not someone I would want to cross especially the mood he is in after losing his Intercontinental title last month.

*SHER (LION)*

Boos from the crowd as Jinder Mahal makes his way to the ring, there is tape around his finger still after the Intercontinental title match he had with Pete Dunne last week. He glares at the crowd before making his way inside the ring, still favoring his hand.

Byron Saxton: Well as you can see, Jinder is still feeling the effects of his match with Pete Dunne as the Bruiserweight was able to snap his fingers during the match.

Corey Graves: So you bring up the attack by Luke Harper but don't bring up Pete Dunne biting the Modern Day Maharajah?

Byron Saxton: Pete Dunne only bit Jinder after Jinder had raked his eyes!

Corey Graves: Two wrongs don't make a right!

*WON'T LET GO*

Cheers from the crowd as the former Cruiserweight champion Cedric Alexander makes his way out getting a decent pop from the crowd. He sprints down the ramp and steps into the ring across from Jinder Mahal.

Byron Saxton: Well someone who will agree with me that turnabout is fair play is Cedric Alexander. He used Shelton's own tricks against him at Halloween Havoc and picked up the win over the veteran.

Corey Graves: Cedric is a hypocrite. He called out the actions of Shelton but then used those same tricks to pick up the win at Halloween Havoc!

Match 1: Jinder Mahal vs Cedric Alexander

Match summary: Jinder throughout the match isn't able to use his strength and power to dominate the match like he normally would against a smaller foe due to the damage done to his hand by Pete Dunne at Halloween Havoc. This allows Cedric to keep in the match and overwhelm Jinder with his high flying skills. Cedric is then able to pick up the win as he hits Jinder with OVERTIME (Frog Splash) for the win!

Winner via pinfall: Cedric Alexander (5:25)

Cedric gets to his feet as he celebrates his second win in a row on Smackdown Live. The crowd cheer for Cedric as Jinder in the ring rolls to the outside and is clutching his fingers which are still in a ton of pain.

Byron Saxton: Cedric Alexander picks up a win over a former WWE champion!

Corey Graves: The damage was done by Pete Dunne on Sunday I think made the difference. Jinder couldn't grip properly and couldn't use any of his power moves tonight.

Byron Saxton: I think that shows how dangerous Pete Dunne is and proves he isn't someone to mess with.

Cedric Alexander is still celebrating as he heads up the entrance ramp as the cheers turn to boos as SHELTON BENJAMIN clobbers him from behind and lays out the young high-flier! He grabs hold of Cedric and lays into him with a few punches before hitting him with PAYDIRT! Shelton stands over the fallen Cedric and poses as the crowd boo the veteran.

Corey Graves: Well it looks like Shelton isn't done with Cedric Alexander just yet.

Byron Saxton: Cedric showed Shelton how it feels to be cheated and I guess Shelton didn't like a taste of his own medicine.

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

When we return from the commercial break, we see The WWE champion Roman Reigns walking through the hallway in a fancy suit, with the WWE title over his shoulder. As he is about to enter the Corporation's locker room, he is stopped by Cathy Kelly.

Cathy Kelly: Roman can I get a few words from you?

Roman stops and turns around as he glares at Cathy.

Roman Reigns: Make it quick.

Cathy Kelly: How do you feel about the way you retained your title inside Hell in a Cell?

Roman looks disgusted.

Roman Reigns: Why do you reporters waste your time with such dumb questions? All that matters is I'm still at the head of this company and whilst I hold this title, what I say goes. Drew lost to me again and as far as I'm concerned he is at the back of the line!

Roman turns to leave but Cathy isn't finished.

Cathy Kelly: Roman I have one more question. Rumour has it your the first member of Team Shane is that true?

Roman turns to face Cathy.

Roman Reigns: Of course I am. I will lead Team Shane to victory and then maybe Shane will get reporters who won't waste my time with such stupid questions.

Roman Reigns walks off and heads into the locker room as we cut back to the commentary team at ringside.

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

Corey Graves: What a blockbuster first pick for Team Shane! The WWE Champion Roman Reigns, a man who has picked up wins effectively on his own in the past at Survivor Series will lead the way for Team Shane!

Byron Saxton: I think Roman is entering the match so he doesn't have to defend his title at Survivor Series!

Corey Graves: Roman isn't a coward, he is fighting for a cause he believes in.

*SOUTHERN PROUD*

A mixed reaction from the more smarky crowd as The Revival make their way to the ring, with their tag team titles around their waist and the two men have not looked this happy since NXT!

Byron Saxton: Well last night these two became WWE tag team champions and became the first team to win the NXT, World, and WWE tag team titles but it wasn't without controversy.

Corey Graves: Listen, it doesn't matter how it was done because all that matters is the Top Guys are the new WWE tag team champions! They might not have even needed the help of the Corporation to win.

Once Scott Dawson and Dash Wilder are in the ring, the pair signal for microphones from the ringside crew as they look to address the live crowd.

Scott Dawson: Once again a real tag team are at the top of this division!

Boos from the crowd but The Revival do not care.

Dash Wilder: For too long teams like The New Day, Kevin Owens, and Sami Zayn, hell whoever John Cena is facing for the world title that month have held these titles and made them feel worthless!

Shots fired.

Scott Dawson: We are old school and yearn for the days that these belts mean something. We want tag team wrestling to matter like it did in the eighties!

Dash Wilder: We aren't going to come out here and do flips just to please you fans!

Scott Dawson: We aren't going to come out here and pander to the fans by throwing pancakes.

Dash Wilder: Whilst getting you to buy our merch.

Scott Dawson: Hell we don't care if you buy our merch as the only thing that matters to us is these tag team titles!

Dash Wilder: And that includes Team Triple H versus Shane McMahon at Survivor Series!

Mixed reaction from the crowd.

Scott Dawson: We will not be joining Team Shane at Survivor Series.

Dash Wilder: We didn't need your help to win these belts.

Scott Dawson: No instead we will be putting these titles on the line at Survivor Series and proving why tag team wrestling deserves more respect.

Dash Wilder: It doesn't matter who we face at Survivor Series because whoever we face will find out why you need to Fear The Revival.

Big E: Awwww New York. Don't you dare be sour. Clap for your world-famous five-time tag team champs and feel the power!

*NEW DAY, NEW WAY*

A loud pop from the live crowd as The New Day members Big E and Xavier Woods make their way out with microphones in their hands. They walk to the ring as The Revival glare at them looking unimpressed. Once inside they look at the tag team titles around The Revival's waist as Xavier looks to speak first.

Xavier Woods: You want to put those titles on the line at Survivor Series? How about you step into the ring with us?

The Revival look at each other and they shake their heads.

Dash Wilder: Why would we give you a shot at these titles? Hell last time we faced you we won.

Scott Dawson: Add to the fact that when it comes to a two on two match you have never beaten us.

Big E: That may be true but we've never faced you with those on the line!

Xavier Woods: When it comes to high-pressure situations with the tag team titles on the line, there is no team better than the New Day.

Dash Wilder: And that's why the tag team division has been failing!

Scott Dawson: Don't get us wrong you're great at what you do. But you're just a good tag team whilst we are great.

Big E: If you're so confident we ain't a great tag team and on your level, why don't you prove it at Survivor Series!Because you may think we are only about merchandise but we aren't!

Cheers from the crowd as Big E gets serious.

Big E: We have pretty much been the tag team division for years. We have made people care about these belts whenever we held them because they care about us.

Xavier Woods: We have had wars with The Usos, The Bar, and The Club. All great tag teams.

Big E: The only reason we aren't holding those belts right now is because our focus has been on helping our boy Kofi. However now it's time to collect!

Big E stares at The Revival who smirks.

Dash Wilder: And there it is. You care about your friend Kofi than you do about these titles.

Scott Dawson: There is no one back there we would help over winning these titles. They mean more to us than anyone in the back!

Dash Wilder: And it's time we show the world that this is our era on top of the tag team division. So we accept.

Scott Dawson: At Survivor Series we will put these titles on the line and once again we will beat you proving that this a new era for the tag team division with us as champions.

The Revival drop the microphones after confirming they will fight The New Day at Survivor Series. The New Day meanwhile stares them down with neither team moving an inch.

Byron Saxton: I'm just getting word from backstage that the match has been made official. The New Day will take on The Revival with the WWE tag team titles on the line!

Corey Graves: At Survivor Series, The Revival will prove that the era of New Day's silliness is over and it's time for The Top Guys to reign supreme over the tag team division!

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

When we return from the commercial break, we see Kofi Kingston walking through the back with his headphones in as he is stopped by Kayla Braxton.

Kayla Braxton: Kofi, can I get a few words from you?

Kofi takes his headphones out and turns to Kayla.

Kofi Kingston: Of course Kayla. I'm in a good mood tonight. I've finally beaten Randy Orton and put my history with him to bed. My boys are fighting for the WWE tag team titles at Survivor Series. And I'm on team Triple H at Survivor Series!

Kayla Braxton: What made you choose to join team Triple H at Survivor Series?

Kofi Kingston: Well, I was planning on challenging Roman for the WWE title at Survivor Series. The one he stole from me. But after Vince's announcement I knew that wasn't going to be possible. So what better way to make the Corporation pay for stealing my WWE title than removing Shane McMahon from power.

As Kofi says that we see Big E and Xavier Woods make their way over to their friend. They all share hugs with each other as Kayla takes that as her cue to leave.

Big E: Listen man, I'm sorry we can't join you in that Survivor Series match but we know that you will win.

Kofi shakes his head and smiles.

Kofi Kingston: You two don't need to apologize. Without you two, I wouldn't have become WWE champion in the first place. For too long you two have been forced to fight my battles.

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

Byron Saxton: Well we have learned one person on team Triple H but we know one person who will not be on that team.

Corey Graves: That's right Byron, I'm getting word from backstage that Ricochet was going to be on team Triple H but due to Luke Harper's attack backstage he will be out of action for at least four weeks.

Byron Saxton: A vicious attack by Luke Harper and I think I know who was behind it.

Corey Graves: Luke Harper didn't do it because Shane McMahon told him to. Harper does what Harper wants. Not every bad thing is Shane McMahon's fault.

Boos from the crowd as Erick Rowan and Daniel Bryan make their way out. However, it is only Erick Rowan who is dressed to compete tonight. Erick Rowan steps over the ropes and climbs into the ring as Daniel Bryan makes his way over to the commentary desk.

Corey Graves: It looks like we are joined tonight by the Planet champion himself Daniel Bryan. Welcome to commentary.

Daniel Bryan: Thank you Corey but I won't have much time to educate the people at home because Rowan is going to destroy No Way Jose!

Byron Saxton: I'm sure the people will be devastated.

Daniel Bryan: Do you want me to choke you by your tie? I've done that before and I'll do it again!

*NO WAY*

Not much reaction from the fans as No Way Jose makes his way out joined by his conga line! They make their way to the ring and try to get the crowd excited but most of the crowd give 0 fucks about these dorks.

Corey Graves: Daniel, I presume you heard the announcement at the start of the show. Are you part of Team Shane at Survivor Series?

Daniel Bryan: Of course I am. I'm supporting my best friend Shane McMahon and so is Erick Rowan! This match right here is to show everyone what they are in store for this Sunday!

Byron Saxton: Erick Rowan needs to be careful not to underestimate No Way Jose or we could see an upset.

No Way Jose rolls into the ring and tries to get Rowan to join in with the dancing, so Rowan punches him in the mouth and the referee calls for the bell to get this underway!

Match 2: Erick Rowan vs No Way Jose

Match summary: Erick Rowan batters No Way Jose and puts him away in very quick fashion hitting him with the IRON CLAW SLAM!

Winner via pinfall: Erick Rowan (1:17)

Corey Graves: A dominant win by Erick Rowan tonight!

Daniel Bryan: Did you expect anything else? Look at him, no one on team Triple H stands a chance! It's why Triple H hasn't put himself on the team as he remembers what happened at Wrestlemania 30!

Erick Rowan celebrates the win in the ring as a few of the conga line climb into the ring to check on No Way Jose and that proves to be a mistake as Rowan lays them out too and hits one of them with the IRON CLAW SLAM as well! Daniel Bryan makes his way into the ring and walks up to his friend. He lifts his arm into the air as the crowd reign down boos on the pair but neither man cares as they enjoy the negative reaction from the crowd as we cut to a commercial break.

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

We return from the commercial break, mid-attack as The Riott Squad are laying a two-on-one beatdown on Liv Morgan. Ruby Riott gives her a few kicks to the gut before Sarah Logan lifts her off the floor by the hair as Ruby gets in close.

Ruby Riott: You keep holding me back! I was this close to being champion and it's your fault I'm not!

Liv though elbows Sarah Logan as she breaks free and lays into Ruby Riott with several punches to the head! However, as Liv Morgan turns around Sarah Logan hits her with a kick to the head. Ruby gets up rubbing her jaw as she tells Logan to get Liv up and hits Morgan with the RIOT KICK! Finally, the official comes over but The Riott Squad are now happy with the damage done to Liv Morgan. HHH appears on scene and checks on Liv Morgan before turning around.

HHH: Are you OK? Can we get a medic back here?

Triple H points off-camera as he looks to get the situation back under control. We then cut back to the commentary team at ringside.

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

Byron Saxton: Well we were supposed to have the number one contender's fatal four-way match between Liv Morgan, Lacey Evans, Carmella and Nikki Cross right now but that match is going to be delayed whilst the medical team check on Liv Morgan.

Corey Graves: Whilst we wait for an update from our medical team, let's hear what Karrion Kross had to say about his attack on Finn Balor last week!

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

We cut to a dark room as the light focuses on Karrion Kross who glares at the camera. Scarlett Bordeaux is by his side and looks at the camera.

Scarlett Bordeaux (in Latin): Tace. Mark Kross non loquebatur. Super virosludaadest. Lapsumhabueritpraedam.

Kross smirks and leans forward.

Karrion Kross: We gave you fair warning. Finn you were the first but you won't be the last.

Kross gets to his feet as Scarlett stands up with him and places her arms around Karrion Kross. We then see clips of Finn Balor's time in WWE with the majority of the images being of Finn Balor as the demon.

Karrion Kross: As soon as I knew I was arriving, I knew who was first. The one proclaims to be a demon.

We see more clips of Finn Balor before cutting back to an angry Karrion Kross as Scarlett Bordeauxsteps forward.

Scarlett Bordeaux: You know nothing of demons.

Karrion Kross: But soon you will.

Kross has an evil smile on his face.

Karrion Kross: This? This is the beginning of the end.

Scarlett unveils an hourglass with Finn Balor's name at the bottom of the hourglass. The camera focuses on the hourglass.

Karrion Kross: Tick tock tick tock tick tock.

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

We then cut from the final image of the hourglass and back to the commentary team at ringside.

Byron Saxton: I'll be honest Corey, I'm not sure what to make of that.

Corey Graves: For once I agree with you Byron. But it can't be good for Finn Balor.

Byron Saxton: Well we know Finn Balor will make his return to Smackdown next week and he'll be sure to address the attack by Karrion Kross last week.

Corey Graves: Well up next after the commercial break, we will find out if Liv Morgan is cleared to compete tonight in the number one contender's match that is happening after the commercial break! Don't go anywhere!

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

*THE FUTURE*

A loud pop from the live crowd as we return from the commercial break and see the WWE Women's champion Asuka make her way out as she heads to the commentary desk. Asuka noticeably has her title around her waist as she sits down next to Corey Graves and Byron Saxton.

Byron Saxton: Welcome Asuka.

Asuka does a polite bow before putting the headset on.

Corey Graves: Do you have any thoughts on what happened to Liv Morgan backstage?

Asuka: Liv picked a fight that she wasn't ready for. Big mistake.

Byron Saxton: I mean it could be argued the fight she picked was whilst she trying to help you.

Asuka turns around and glares at Byron.

Asuka: Did I ask her to?

Byron shakes his head.

Asuka: Then the mistake is her fault.

*GLASGOW CROSS*

Cheers from the crowd as the wild Nikki Cross makes her way out. She is joined by her tag team partner Isla Dawn. Isla grabs hold of Nikki and tells her to focus before pointing her towards the ring! Nikki charges down the ramp and slides into the ring!

Byron Saxton: Nikki Cross is someone you faced in NXT, even going to war in a last woman standing match. How do you feel about facing her again?

Asuka: She wasn't ready in NXT, she is not ready now.

*LIKE A LADY*

Lacey Evans makes her way out next getting boos from the crowd. The Queen Charlotte Flair isn't with her as the first lady of Smackdown walks down the entrance ramp as she dabs herself with her handkerchief. She steps into the ring as she looks at Nikki Cross with disgust.

Corey Graves: Lacey Evans is my pick tonight. She has come close to becoming WWE Women's champion a couple of times but with Charlotte's leadership, she might have the edge she needs to the top of this division.

Asuka: I beat Charlotte. I can beat her sidekick again too.

*FABULOUS*

Carmella makes her way out getting cheers from the crowd and she is joined by R-Truth! R-Truth has a microphone in hand as Carmella smirks.

R-Truth: Now I know Carmella has a number one contender's match for the Women's Universal title but...

Carmella: Truth, that title is on Raw. This is for the WWE Women's title which is held by Asuka.

R-Truth: Wait didn't you already beat her?

Carmella smiles and shrugs. We then cut to the commentary desk as Asuka looks furious and clutches her title a lot tighter.

Carmella: I did Truth but once I win this match I'll do it again at Survivor Series!

Mixed reaction from the crowd with a fair few people not happy at the prospect of Carmella beating Asuka again.

R-Truth: Wow that's a tough crowd. But I know what they will enjoy!

Both: A seven-second dance break!

The lights go down as the pair dance at the top of the entrance ramp and get the crowd back onside with their antics. Once the dance break finishes Truth wishes Carmella good luck and she heads to the ring joining the other two women.

Byron Saxton: R-Truth is right. Carmella has beaten you before. How would you prepare for her?

Asuka: Mōichido genkyū shite kudasai. Shūryō shimasu

Byron Saxton: I'm sorry I don't understand?

Asuka just glares at him and wisely Byron keeps quiet.

Corey Graves: Well it looks like it is going to be a triple threat match after the attack...

*NAH NAH*

Liv Morgan makes her way out but does look a bit worse for wear as she pushes past a medic and slides into the ring ready for a fight!

Byron Saxton: Well it looks like Liv is going to fight through the pain!

Corey Graves: I'm not sure that is a good idea. She could live to fight another day but instead risks causing serious injury by entering this match!

Asuka: Liv doesn't think. Liv just does.

Liv Morgan steps into the ring clutching her chest as the referee looks to make sure she is OK. Liv snaps back that she is fine and the referee then calls for the bell to get this match underway.

Match 3: Fatal 4-way number one contender's match for SS: Liv Morgan vs Nikki Cross vs Lacey Evans vs Carmella

Match summary: Liv and Nikki both fly out of the blocks once the bell rings jumping on Carmella and Lacey respectively. Both women take care of them in the early stages and from there start fighting each other. Nikki though is weirdly hesitant due to the damage Liv Morgan had taken before the match. Throughout the match, all 4 women get to show off their skills and all have their moments of control, even Liv Morgan who is putting on a great showing even with the pain she is in.

As we get towards the closing stages, Asuka has been fairly quiet on commentary only adding in a few comments throughout the match but she flips out when she sees Charlotte making her way to the ringside area with BRASS KNUCKLES IN HAND! Lacey slides out of the ring and meets Charlotte on the outside but as she does ALEXA BLISS AND EMBER MOON sprint down the ramp attacking the pair!

The two teams end up battling and fighting as they brawl to the back leaving the other 3 women in the ring! Liv is in control and runs off the ropes with Nikki Cross as she goes for ObLIVon but Carmella rocks Liv with a SUPERKICK! She then grabs Nikki Cross and hits her with the MELLA BUSTER (Sit-out facebuster)! Carmella makes the cover 1 2 3! Carmella is going to Survivor Series!

Winner via pinfall: Carmella (9:46)

Liv Morgan on the outside was just making her way onto the ring apron but falls down to the floor selling the damage she has sustained throughout the night as Carmella celebrates in the ring.

Byron Saxton: Carmella picks up the win and looks we will get a rematch from a few years ago.

Asuka takes her headset and leaves the commentary desk. She slides into the ring and Carmella turns around to see the Empress stood in front of her. Carmella jumps back slightly before regaining composure as she smiles and tells Asuka she is going to bring it. Outside the ring meanwhile, Liv Morgan slowly gets to her feet and punches the ringside barricade angry to have come up short tonight, in part thanks to the Riott Squad.

When we return from the commercial break, we see Charlotte and Evans are still brawling with Ember Moon and Alexa Bliss backstage as numerous officials are trying to break it up! Eventually, they manage to separate the two teams as Shane McMahon limps into the shot with the help of a walking stick.

Shane McMahon: OK that's enough.

Lacey Evans: Those nasties cost me the number one contender's match!

Alexa Bliss: You were trying to cheat again!

Shane McMahon: I said that was enough! From both of you! I'm sending all four of you home for the night! And next week, I will tell you how this war between you four ends!

All 4 women stare each other down and look ready to fight before going their separate ways as we cut elsewhere backstage.

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

We are now in HHH's office as he can be seen on the phone. We hear the door open and the camera pans over to show the Intercontinental champion Pete Dunne walks into the room. HHH hangs up and the phone and turns around to greet Pete Dunne.

HHH: Thanks for coming Pete.

HHH extends his hand which Pete Dunne accepts.

HHH: Now I know you like to get down to business so I'll tell you why I've brought you in here.

Pete Dunne: You want me on your team at Survivor Series?

HHH smiles.

HHH: Smart. I do. See Pete ever since you appeared in WWE I've had my eye on you as you remind me of myself. Ruthless, willing to do whatever it takes to win, and able to keep a title for a long time. Hell, it's why I made that battle royal in NXT UK as I knew you'd win and become Intercontinental champion.

Pete nods along keeping the same usual expression as HHH carries on.

HHH: So I can't think of anyone better than you to be on my team at Survivor Series. What do you say?

Pete takes a moment before nodding.

Pete Dunne: Without you, I wouldn't be where I am today. So it's time to repay that favor and remove Shane McMahon from power.

Pete Dunne and HHH shake hands as we then cut to the commercial break.

When we return from the commercial break, we cut to a dark room with a lightbulb in it as Luke Harper walks towards the camera with a cold dark stare.

Luke Harper: Tonight we got to stay goodbye forever to Ricochet!

Luke Harper smiles.

Luke Harper: If you get involved in my business, I will destroy you.

Luke Harper reaches to his shoulder but it feels empty.

Luke Harper: I had my gold stolen from me. Pete Dunne just look at the destruction I've left in my wake ever since you stole my title!

Luke Harper looks angry as he gets closer to the camera.

Luke Harper: But Shane McMahon has given the Smackdown roster the chance at salvation!

Luke Harper smiles.

Luke Harper: Next week, I will face you again Pete Dunne and the Intercontinental title will be mine once again.

Luke Harper closes his eyes before looking at the camera once again.

Luke Harper: In the meantime, all anyone else can do is... RUN!

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

We then cut back to the ring as Eric Young is stood in the center of the ring ready for a match before we cut to the commentary team at ringside.

Corey Graves: A massive match made for next week's Smackdown and I'm getting word that it will also be next week's main event!

Byron Saxton: Pete Dunne already won the title against Luke Harper in London but can he beat Luke Harper again?

*MARIACHI CORE*

Cheers from the crowd as Gran Metalik makes his way out and he is joined by his tag partner/friend Lince Dorado. Both men slap hands with the fans as they make their way to the ring and jump over the top rope.

Byron Saxton: At Halloween Havoc, Gran Metalik gave Luke Harper a run for his money and on a couple of occasions looked like he might pick up the win. Tonight let's see if he can carry on that momentum!

Corey Graves: Gran Metalik is one hell of an athlete but don't write off Eric Young. He is a crafty veteran who knows that a win could get his career back on track.

Match 4: Gran Metalik w/Lince Dorado vs Eric Young

Match summary: Gran Metalik is still feeling the effects of the battle he went through when he faced Luke Harper at Halloween Havoc but the Cruiserweight guts through the pain and overcomes Eric Young offense as he WALKS THE ROPES AND BOUNCES DOWN ONTO THE SECOND ROPE HITTING A MOONSAULT! Gran Metalik makes the cover and picks up the win!

Winner via pinfall: Gran Metalik (3:13)

Byron Saxton: Gran Metalik picks up the win!

Corey Graves: Gran Metalik these last few weeks has really impressed me. If he can keep up these performances he might earn himself a shot at the Intercontinental title!

Gran Metalik is joined by his tag team partner Lince Dorado as the two men celebrate in the ring before we cut to a locker room backstage.

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

We cut to a locker room as Miz and Morrison are shown getting ready for the main event. Owens and Zayn then walk into the room. Both team teams look at each other with Miz speaking first.

The Miz: I'm sorry you lost your tag team titles in that way last night.

Kevin sighs before shaking his head.

Kevin Owens: It's not your fault. We know whose fault it is and that's why we've joined team Triple H at Survivor Series.

John Morrison limps forward and takes off his sunglasses.

John Morrison: I didn't come back to be part of this war. I came back to win gold with my best friend. But after what The Corporation did to us during that match? We're joining team Triple H at Survivor Series as well.

Cheers from the live crowd as four more spots in Team Triple H are filled up.

Sami Zayn: Listen, since we are part of the same team at Survivor Series do you want one of us to sub in for you tonight due to your leg?

Morrison shakes his head.

John Morrison: This? I'll be fine. I can fight all night long even with a busted leg. Plus we need to give the War Raiders a taste of what they are in for at Survivor Series.

The Miz: We got this. But do us a favor? Keep an eye out for The Corporation.

Kevin Owens: Trust me as soon as I see any of the Corporation out there, we'll be out there!

All 4 men touch fists as Miz and Morrison head towards the ring.

Byron Saxton: After the commercial break we will see The War Raiders take on Miz and Morrison in our main event. Don't go anywhere!

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

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

*WAR*

Byron Saxton: At Halloween Havoc, we may have seen the end of Matt Hardy's career thanks to The War Raiders.

Corey Graves: The War Raiders warned the Hardy Boyz. They told them if they went to war with them again there would be casualties and they stuck to their word.

Byron Saxton: Well we will hear from Matt's brother Jeff next week but right now it looks like the War Raiders have something to say.

Byron is right for once as The War Raiders are now stood in the ring with mics in their hand each as they get ready to speak.

Hanson: We told the Hardys what would happen if they insisted on going to war.

Rowe: And just as we promised, there were casualties.

Hanson: The career of Matt Hardy is over!

Massive heat for that line as The War Raiders let out a smug smirk.

Rowe: Jeff, just be glad we left you to fight another day.

Hanson: But when one war ends, another begins.

Rowe: At Survivor Series we will lead Team Shane into battle!

Boos from the crowd as commentary confirm the War Raiders are on team Shane at Survivor Series.

Hanson: And we start that tonight when we crush those Hollywood wannabes Miz and Morrison.

Rowe: But once we lead Team Shane to victory at Survivor Series, we have a message for The Revival. We...

*I CAME TO MAKE BELIEVE*

The Miz and John Morrison cut off the War Raiders as they make their way to the ring for tonight's main event. The Miz does his usual pose leaving John Morrison to do the slow-motion part of the entrance on the ramp. John takes his time walking to the ring as his leg is still in a ton of pain after the Revival forced a tap out from him. Due to this, The Miz steps into the ring to start for their team whilst Hanson steps into the ring for The War Raiders.

Main event: The War Raiders vs The Miz and John Morrison

Match summary: We get a minute into the match with The Miz and Hanson still in the ring as the crowd starts booing loudly as THE CORPORATION START TO WALK TO THE RING! Roman Reigns, Baron Corbin, Daniel Bryan, and Erick Rowan are heading to the ring when suddenly KEVIN OWENS, SAMI ZAYN, AND KOFI KINGSTON RUN OUT! A brawl starts up and spills into the ring causing the referee to throw the match out!

Winner: No contest (2:34)

It is total chaos as the two groups are brawling in the ring and on the outside of the ring but The Corporation has the edge when it comes to numbers in the ring and this allows them to start to take control of the brawl. However just when it looks like this is going to turn into a full-on beat down of Team Shane minus Pete Dunne...

*BROKEN DREAMS*

Byron Saxton: Drew McIntyre is here and he looks angry.

Byron isn't wrong as Drew charges down the ramp and takes out CORBIN AS HE COMES TO MEET HIM WITH A CLAYMORE! Drew slides into the ring and starts to help the faces turn the tide as they send the Corporation out of the ring one by one until it is just Roman Reigns left in the ring stood in front of the 6 faces in the ring. Roman wisely rolls out of the ring, avoiding Drew's wrath and running back up the ramp as the rest of the Corporation stand at the top of the ramp behind Roman. Drew meanwhile has been given a microphone by someone from ringside.

Drew McIntyre: Hey Roman, did you think I was going to let you guys get away with robbing me of what's mind again? Now I may not be a team player but at Survivor Series well you're looking at the last member of team Triple H!

Drew McIntyre tosses the microphone down on that bombshell as the Corporation shake their heads on the ramp. In the ring Owens and Drew stare each other down having had issues in the past but they shake hands as Friday Night Smackdown comes to a close with Team Triple H ready to go to war at Survivor Series!

Uniondale, New York

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

We get the usual introduction to Monday Night Raw as we cut to the commentary team at the top of the ramp as Michael Cole and Big Show welcome us to the show.

Michael Cole: Hello and welcome to Monday Night Raw taking place from Uniondale, New York!

Big Show: And we have a big show in store tonight!

Michael Cole: That's right Paul. In the main event, Shayna Baszler and Becky Lynch will sign the contract to make their match at Survivor Series official!

Big Show: Not only that but the World tag team champions the Authors of Pain will be in action.

Michael Cole: Jey Uso and a mystery partner will take on EC3 and Drake Maverick.

Big Show: And Mia Yim will take on Mickie James!

*SECOND COMING/BURN IT DOWN*

A mixed reaction from the live crowd as Seth Rollins makes his way out. He does not happy as he walks to the ring with a microphone in hand. Noticeably there are more boos than normal as it seems Rollins' recent actions are starting to anger more and more of the fan base.

Michael Cole: Well it looks like we are going to hear from Monday Night Rollins!

Big Show: Seth Rollins last week got into it on commentary with Andrade Cien Almas before the Ungovenables laid him out!

Seth is now in the ring, still getting a mixed reaction from the fanbase.

Seth Rollins: Tough crowd.

That doesn't help and the people booing carry on. Seth shakes his head and carries on.

Seth Rollins: Over the last few weeks I feel like I've made a lot of enemies. But that comes with being on top of Monday Night Raw.

Seth tries to get a cheap pop from the crowd but it doesn't work.

Seth Rollins: Andrade may be the champion right now but I'm the face of Monday nights and at Survivor Series I will take back my Universal title to become a four-time champion!

Once again a mixed reaction from the crowd which noticeably flusters Seth but he once again recomposes himself.

Seth Rollins: Zelina can recruit as many men as she wants but it doesn't matter who stands in my way as I'm taking back the Universal title. However, I'll get to you another time as there is someone I still ain't got my hands on since the last time his boys did his dirty work.

Seth shakes his head and lets out a weary smile.

Seth Rollins: AJ how about you come to this ring right now and face me like a man?

Mixed reaction from the crowd but this time might be to do with the Phenomenal One rather than Seth Rollins.

Seth Rollins: Leave your boys in the back and fight me like a man!

Seth signals towards the ramp as he waits for AJ Styles or the whole of The Club to make their way out but instead this man's music hits...

*BOOYAKA 619*

Rey Mysterio makes his way out with a microphone to loud cheers from the crowd. Seth Rollins looks a little surprised as Rey jumps over the ropes and comes to face to face with Seth who lets out a nervous chuckle.

Seth Rollins: Rey, I know I'm facing you at Survivor Series too but you're not the person I have an issue with.

Rey Mysterio: You may not have an issue with me but I have an issue with the way you've been acting.

Seth looks a little taken aback as Rey carries on.

Rey Mysterio: Y'know when Edge first told me that you changing was just an act I thought he was being paranoid. I mean it's Edge. He used to think the only way to make it to the top was lying and screwing over anyone in your way.

Rey is walking around the ring as Seth shakes his head and says he has changed.

Rey Mysterio: At Armageddon, I saw what happened whilst I was down but y'know what? Part of me wrote it off as a moment of weakness. However, I'm thinking the only reason you didn't cheat is because it would have shattered your nice guy image!

Seth shakes his head as some of the crowd cheer on Rey and agrees with what he is saying.

Rey Mysterio: But last week, you hesitated coming into the ring and helping me fight off The Ungovenables. I saw the replay of what happened and you hesitated.

Seth Rollins: I didn't hesitate, I was still recovering from the DDT. By the time I recovered the situation was under control.

Rey Mysterio: No thanks to you.

Seth Rollins: Listen, Edge doesn't know what he is talking about. I'm still the same guy...

Rey Mysterio: Yeah the same person you were in the authority.

Seth Rollins: I have changed!

Seth gets in Rey's face and looks ready to boil over.

Seth Rollins: What is it going to take for people to understand that? What...

*BRING THE SWAG*

A pop from the live crowd as The Street Profits make their way out to the surprise of the fans but also Rey Mysterio and Seth Rollins getting both men's attention. Seth though smiles as he welcomes his allies of a month ago into the ring.

Seth Rollins: Montez, Angelo I'm surprised to see you out here but I'm glad you came out to defend my honor.

Angelo Dawkins: Um Seth, I'm going to be honest we didn't come out here to defend you. I'm going to be honest we...

Montez Ford: We have doubts over your actions recently too.

A mixed reaction from the crowd as Seth looks on in disbelief.

Seth Rollins: You as well?

Montez Ford: Honestly fam, we've had our doubts since Armageddon too.

Seth Rollins: Listen I was desperate and frustrated. I couldn't find a way to beat Rey and I was thinking about taking the easy way out. I was wrong. But that should be proof I've changed. You two have to know I've changed.

Montez and Angelo don't know what to say as Rey steps forward.

Rey Mysterio: I would have never thought about using the steel chair to win like you did.

Seth Rollins: Well not everyone is perfect Rey!

Seth snaps at Rey before catching himself and he has to recompose himself.

Seth Rollins: I'm sorry I'm a little frustrated. It's been a tough few weeks and I...

*OMEN IN THE SKY*

Boos from the crowd as The Good Brothers make their way out to the ring with a pair of microphones but noticeably they are without their leader AJ Styles. Seth dares them to come to the ring and fight right now but the pair shake their heads.

Karl Anderson: You nerds must think we are stupid. Seth, we know you only fight when the numbers are in your favor...

Mixed reaction from the crowd with some agreeing with Karl Anderson.

Karl Anderson: But we only came out here to call out the Street Profits!

Angelo Dawkins: Oh do you want the smoke?

Luke Gallows: We want to kick your two's asses for costing us a shot at the tag team titles!

Montez Ford: Well we feel the same so how about we do this right now.

The Street Profits step out of the ring and look to confront The Good Brothers on the ramp. Seth goes to leave the ring but Rey stops him.

Rey Mysterio: No you don't get to leave! I'm not done with you.

Seth Rollins: Will you back off! Do you know what? AJ and Andrade can wait. How about we settle this right now!

Massive pop from the crowd who want to see Rey Mysterio and Seth Rollins go head to head in the ring whilst on the entrance ramp we see The Good Brothers going to meet The Street Profits. As this is happening a masked man in an AJ Styles hoodie slides into the ring! The man pulls the hood off and it's AJ Styles with a steel pipe as he clocks Seth in the back with it! The Street Profits hearing this turn around but this distraction allows The Good Brothers to attack them from behind beating them down. In the ring, AJ swings the weapon but Rey ducks and bounces off the ropes wiping out AJ with a crossbody! Rey and AJ are both on their feet battling until...

*STARS IN THE NIGHT*

Paige: Stop this right now!

All 6 men stop brawling as they turn to the ramp and see Paige stood there. We also see Seth struggling to his feet after the attack with the lead pipe by AJ Styles.

Paige: If you guys want to fight, then you can fight right now in a six-man tag! It will be The Club versus The Street Profits and Rey Mysterio!

A loud pop from the crowd as Seth Rollins gets to his feet and looks annoyed as he rubs his head.

Seth Rollins: What about me?

Paige: Seth I'm sorry but I'm not putting The Club in a handicap match. You are welcome to watch the match from the commentary team but you will not be in this match.

Seth shakes his head and tosses the microphone away in anger as he leaves the ring. Montez and Angelo try to talk to their friend but he ignores them heading up the ramp. Meanwhile, in the ring The Club are now stood united in it as we cut to a commercial break.

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

Match 1: The Street Profits and Rey Mysterio vs The Club

Match summary: When we return from the commercial break, Seth Rollins is on commentary and clearly annoyed he is not in the match. He also disputes what was said before the break by Street Profits and Rey saying he is a changed person. Big Show does bring up a few of Rey's points but Seth argues against them. Back in the ring we see the standard six-man tag as The Club work over Angelo Dawkins and isolate him from his tag team partners. During the match we see AJ using a few illegal chokes in the ropes and this causes Seth to take his headset off.

He leaves commentary and heads towards the ring! However, as he walks to the ring, ANDRADE CIEN ALMAS runs out and clobbers Seth Rollins in the head with the Universel title! This distracts Montez Ford who jumps off the apron and chases Andrade up the ramp! This allows AJ and Luke Gallows to take care of Rey Mysterio knocking him off the apron and sending him into the barricade. In the ring, Karl Anderson hits him with a ROCKET KICK (single leg dropkick). Karl Anderson makes the cover and picks up the win as AJ Styles and Luke Gallows stop Montez Ford from entering the ring.

Winners via pinfall The Club (12:52)

Boos from the crowd as The Club pick up the win. Seth Rollins gets back to his feet and sees what happened. The Club meanwhile scrapper up the ramp and start to celebrate their victory. On the ramp, Seth Rollins gets to his feet as Rey Mysterio walks over and asks him why he was heading to the ring. Seth tries to explain himself but Rey isn't having it as the Street Profits step between them to try to stop them from fighting each other.

Michael Cole: It looks like Rey and Seth are going to come to blows.

Big Show: Rey is someone who I trust completely and if he has doubts about Seth Rollins, well he is someone I trust.

The Club are laughing to themselves as they enjoy what they are seeing but it's not long until they are attacked from behind by The Ungovenables! The four men lay a beatdown on The Club and it takes a while for the faces to know what is going on. It takes Montez pointing it out for Rey and Seth to stop arguing as they chase them up the ramp with The Street Profits but The Ungovenables are happy to leave it at that and run off. Rey and Seth then blame each other for the Ungovenables attack as the pair carry on arguing at the top of the entrance ramp as we cut to a commercial break.

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

When we return from the commercial break, we can see The Street Profits and Seth Rollins backstage with Angelo pulling Seth back.

Seth Rollins: I am sick of Rey slandering my name! He needs to stop.

Angelo Dawkins: Seth you need to calm down.

Seth Rollins: Calm down? Do you have someone calling into question your character every week? Do you have two groups constantly attacking you?

Seth pauses but then puts his finger up.

Seth Rollins: Wait you two agree with him don't you?

Montez Ford steps forward and gets in Seth's face.

Montez Ford: When you're acting like this I do.

Seth is unsure what to make of Montez's words as he takes a moment to think and SLAPS HIM! Angelo immediately steps forward and pushes Seth away.

Angelo Dawkins: I dare you to do that again!

Seth Rollins is down on the floor but he holds his hands up.

Seth Rollins: I'm sorry, I'M SORRY. I'm on edge at the moment and he set me off.

Montez is holding his cheek as he leaps forward to attack Seth but Dawkins holds him back.

Montez Ford: You want the smoke? You want to slap me?

Seth Rollins: Ford I'm sorry, I snapped and I lost control. I don't know what came over me.

Montez Ford: I don't know if Rey and Edge are right. Maybe you never did change or maybe you're changing back into the old Seth. Either way I'm speaking to Paige and next week I'm going to knock some sense to you.

Montez walks off and is soon followed by Angelo Dawkins who is shaking his head as we see Seth pulling at his hair as he walks off angry at himself as we cut back to the commentary team at ringside.

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

Michael Cole: We will have to wait to get confirmation from Paige but it looks like Rey isn't the only person who thinks Seth is acting weirdly.

Big Show: The Street Profits have been friends of Seth the last few months and even they are starting to have doubts. Losing a title can change a man Michael. Trust me I speak from experience.

*WEEKEND ROCKSTAR*

Loud boos from the crowd as Noam Dar makes his way out with a microphone in hand. He lets out a cocky smirk as he looks at the crowd before carrying on towards the ring.

Michael Cole: Well Noam Dar these last few weeks has been demanding Mustafa forfeit the title if he does not return with thirty days, due to injuries caused by Dar himself.

Big Show: Like I said Michael losing a title can change people. Some focus and work hard to try to get the title back. Others snap and resort to other tactics to get their gold back.

Dar is now stood in the ring as he carries on chewing his gum as cups her ear with his hand and listens to the boos. Dar shakes his head with a smile before speaking.

Noam Dar: You can boo me all you want but I know you're booing me because ya ain't me!

Cheap heat but it works and Dar chuckles to himself.

Noam Dar: See it's hard being this handsome, this talented, and this damn young!

He sticks his arms out as he carries on winding up the crowd.

Noam Dar: Ya daftys wouldn't know anything about that though would you?

The cheap heat carries on.

Noam Dar: I could talk about myself all night long but I'll save that for my girl backstage. Sorry girls.

Dar smirks before spitting his gum out onto the ring floor.

Noam Dar: No I came out here to once again plead with Ali to do the right thing. He needs to forfeit the Cruiserweight title!

Loud boos as Dar smirks.

Noam Dar: The clock is ticking Ali and sooner or later you need to give up the title. Because the other option is me ending your career by crippling you!

Loud boos as Dar get nasty.

Noam Dar: The damage I did to your leg is nothing compared to the damage I plan to do if you return without giving me back my title.

Dar leans on the ropes as he points at the fans in the crowd.

Noam Dar: All you people cheering for him are giving him false hope. Making him think he can return without giving me what should be rightfully mine!

Dar's face is turning red now with anger.

Noam Dar: So Ali what's it going to be?

*GO HARD*

Dar's mouth opens wide as the music for the Cruiserweight champion hits. The fans in attendance get excited until they see Dar smiling as he starts laughing like a mad man.

Noam Dar: Ahahahaha you thought that dafty Mustafa Ali was returning tonight?

He points at the booking crowd.

Noam Dar: The look on your faces. It's priceless.

Dar chuckles to himself as the crowd are letting the Scottish Supernova have it.

Noam Dar: Ya daftys really thought he was coming out here didn't you? Y'all are really stupid.

Loud boos as Dar falls to the mat, finding his joke just that funny. He smirks as he gets back to his feet and shakes his head. He takes a moment to compose himself as the boos carry on with Dar now smirking.

Noam Dar: The only way Ali comes back is on a pair of crutches to give me back my Cruiserweight title!

Noam Dar sticks his arms out and soaks the boos in shutting his eyes. He stands there for a good few seconds as he smirks when suddenly the crowd starts to cheer loudly. Dar opens his eyes and looks confused. He turns around as MUSTAFA ALI SPRINGBOARDS OFF THE ROPES AND CROSSBODIES NOAM DAR! The Cruiserweight Champion is back! Mustafa Ali though doesn't stop there as he starts wailing on the Scottish Supernova with several punches as he beats down the cocky Scot.

Dar tries to fight back but Ali stays in control and plants him with a DDT! Ali gets back to his feet and winces slightly as the commentary team wonder if Ali is fully healed. Dar gets back to his feet but Ali clocks him with a SUPERKICK! Dar falls to the mat as Ali looks to the fans getting loud cheers before making his way to the corner of the ring. He climbs to the top rope as he lines Noam Dar up for the 054 BUT DAR ROLLS OUT OF THE RING AND SCRAMBLES UP THE RAMP! Ali stands at the top rope, as he thinks about giving chase but decides against it instead posing for the crowd.

Michael Cole: Mustafa Ali is back and I don't think he is giving Dar the Cruiserweight title.

Big Show: Dar's mouth may have gotten him in trouble, I don't think I've ever seen Ali this fired up before.

The camera catches Noam Dar at the top of the ramp on his ass as he crawls slowly up the ramp. Back in the ring, Mustafa Ali lets Noam Dar know he is far from done with his and he will get his hands on him soon as we cut to a commercial break.

*NO REST FOR THE WICKED*

A small number of cheers as we return from the commercial break and see Taynara Conti making her way to the ring followed by her tag team partner Xia Li.

Michael Cole: We are about to see Taynara Conti in action against Mandy Rose but we've just gotten word from Paige that two big matches have been made official for next week's Raw.

Big Show: That's right next week Montez Ford gets his wish as he takes on Seth Rollins in one-on-one action.

Michael Cole: And that's not all as Rey Mysterio will take on Karl Anderson next week as well!

Big Show: I'm sure AJ will be giving Karl some instructions ahead of the match to soften Rey up!

*GOLDEN GODDESS*

Fire and Desire make their way out with Sonya dressed in jeans and a shirt. Mandy is the only one dressed to compete for this match as she steps into the ring. On the outside Xia Li is wary of Sonya but Deville doesn't really pay attention to her and heads to Mandy's corner.

Michael Cole: Well Mandy demanded a rematch with Taynara Conti after losing to both the rookies in the last month.

Big Show: She clearly feels embarrassed by the losses and wants to rectify that. However, another loss here and you have to wonder what is next for Fire and Desire.

Match 2: Mandy Rose w/Sonya Deville vs Taynara Conti w/Xia Li

Match summary: Mandy starts the match off with a lot of aggression and it nearly costs her as Conti counters with a roll-up! Mandy kicks out and looks furious but her aggression causes her to make mistakes as Conti counters using her judo experience. The veteran is all over Mandy Rose and is peppering her with several strikes as she wears Mandy down. Mandy is in trouble as looks to Sonya on the outside seemingly asking for help but Sonya just looks unimpressed with her friend's performance. Conti lines Mandy up as she looks for the BRAZILIAN KICK (Wristlock bicycle kick whilst opponent is seated) but as she charges in Mandy counters into a ROLL-UP! 1 2 Mandy hooks the tights 3!

Winner via pinfall: Mandy Rose (4:21)

Mandy as soon as the referee hands hits the mat for 3, gets off Conti, and sprints up the ramp celebrating the win like she has won the world cup. Xia Li starts shouting at Sonya calling Mandy a cheat but Sonya responds by shrugging and shaking her head before telling Xia Li to back off!

Michael Cole: Mandy steals the win!

Big Show: Desperate times call for desperate measures Michael. She knew how much she needed to win tonight so she did what was necessary.

Sonya is stood next to Mandy as she carries on celebrating like mad. Sonya meanwhile just glares at the rookies in the ring. We then cut backstage as The Ungovenables are walking to ring with Zelina Vega leading the way and they are joined by the United States Champion Samoa Joe!

Michael Cole: After the commercial break, we are going to hear from the Ungovenables and Samoa Joe ahead of their match at Survivor Series against Team Black! Don't go anywhere!

*COAT OF ARMS*

Loud boos from the crowd as one by one Ilja Dragunov, Cesaro, and Dominik Dijakovic make their way out as they wait at the top of the entrance ramp for their leaders.

*GANGSTER'S PARADISE*

Andrade makes his way out his manager Zelina Vega by his side. They both have a smug smirk on their face as it looks like they are about to head to the ring but Zelina signals for them to wait.

*DESTROYER*

The United States Champion Samoa Joe walks out with a smug smile as the crowd mostly boo him. He walks to the front as he looks at Andrade's Universal title for a few seconds before smiling as he pats Andrade on the shoulder before walking ahead of them and climbs into the ring. The rest of the Ungovenables walk to the ring following the two champions and Zelina Vega.

Michael Cole: Last week Samoa Joe announced he will be joining Team Ungovenables at Survivor Series in return for a shot at the Universal title if they win.

Big Show: Zelina might have pulled off a masterstroke getting Joe for her team at Survivor Series but seeing how dominant Joe has been as United States champion, is it a good idea to put Andrade in his warpath?

Michael Cole: Zelina clearly has faith in his client but it remains to be seen if it is a good idea.

The Ungovenables are stood in the ring as they stand behind Zelina. Joe is stood off to the side in the corner as he leans on the ropes. Andrade meanwhile stands front and center in the ring next to Zelina as she looks to address the crowd.

Zelina Vega: Last week, you all saw my genius when Samoa Joe announced he has joined my team at Survivor Series.

Joe lets out a small smile in the corner as the crowd boo the cocky manager.

Zelina Vega: But that's not all that happened last week. Seth Rollins and Rey Mysterio felt the need to stick their nose in our business.

Ilja shouts something in Russian in the background as Cesaro turns to him and says something in German as he tries to keep him calm.

Zelina Vega: Seth, I don't even know why you got a title shot at Survivor Series. You lost fair and square to Rey Mysterio in Mexico.

Loud cheers from the crowd as Zelina smirks.

Zelina Vega: The same night Andrade turned Rey's dream into a nightmare!

And those cheers turn to loud boos as Andrade lifts the Universal title into the air. He then signals for the microphone which Zelina passes to him.

Andrade Cien Almas: Rey was an icon. Rey was a legend. But now I'm the icon. I'm the legend.

Boos from the crowd as Andrade hypes himself up.

Andrade Cien Almas: I'm the top champion in WWE!

Samoa Joe in the background raises an eyebrow at that line. Meanwhile, a smiling Andrade passes the microphone to Zelina Vega.

Zelina Vega: Exactly and AJ you may think the Club is taking over but I want to make one thing clear...

Samoa Joe: Whoa whoa whoa.

Zelina turns around as Samoa Joe walks past the rest of the Ungovenables and walks up to Andrade eyeing the champion up.

Samoa Joe: You may think you're the top champion because you're the only one with a belt out of your group but let me make one thing clear.

Joe is right in Andrade's face now.

Samoa Joe: Until you've held your belt for over two hundred days like I have, you are not the top champion in WWE. I am and when I lead your friends to victory at Survivor Series, I'm coming for your title as well.

Joe prods the Universal title on Andrade's chest sending him backwards. This angers Andrade who steps forward as the US and Universal champion looks ready to come to blows. Zelina steps in as she looks to calm down both men. Dijakovic steps in though and stands between Samoa Joe and Andrade as the two big men eye each other up. Dijakovic's eyes then turn to the US title before going back to Joe. Joe opens his arms when suddenly...

*ROOT OF ALL EVIL*

A massive pop as Aleister Black makes his way out to the top of the entrance ramp. He stares at the men in the ring and instead chooses to take a seat at the top of the entrance ramp cross-legged as he addresses the Ungovenables and The United States champion, Samoa Joe.

Aleister Black: When you use men's greed to get ahead, human nature will rear its ugly head.

Zelina rolls her eyes.

Aleister Black: The men who will join my team at Survivor Series are doing it to stop you. Dolph? He remembers you trying to destroy his spirit after he resisted your temptation.

Andrade borrows the microphone and interrupts Black.

Andrade Cien Almas: I'm glad that loser didn't join us. We only want winners. I sent him packing to NXT once already! Why won't I do it again?

Black gets to his feet.

Aleister Black: Andrade, I'm talking to the actual leader of The Ungovenables, not you.

Andrade looks furious and goes to leave the ring but Cesaro and Ilja stop him as they calm the Universal champion down. Joe meanwhile looks and just smirks.

Aleister Black: Rusev and Gable? They both want to get to you, Joe.

Samoa Joe (off-mic): Everyone wants to get to me!

Aleister Black: And our fifth person wants vengeance on your group Zelina.

Zelina does a fake I'm scared motion as Black has a serious glare.

Aleister Black: And after speaking to Paige, our fifth man will reveal himself later on tonight when he takes on Ilja Dragunov!

Dragunov points to himself and smiles.

Zelina Vega: You know what Black? That's fine because my clients are the best and are always prepared for a fight!

Zelina then lets out a devilish smile.

Zelina Vega: And that includes our fifth man, who is arriving...

The crowd let out a mixed reaction as at the top of the ramp behind Black appears SHINSUKE NAKAMURA! Black turns around and gets a KINSHASA TO THE FACE! Boos ring out as Nakamura smirks on the entrance ramp and taunts the prone Aleister Black. In the ring, Zelina Vega applauds as the Ungovenables celebrate and look delighted to have Shinsuke Nakamura on their team at Survivor Series. Samoa Joe in the corner meanwhile smirks.

Michael Cole: Shinsuke Nakamura joins team Ungovenables!

Big Show: What a massive addition to the team. Shinsuke is a two-time United States champion and a former Royal Rumble winner! Team Black might be in trouble.

Back in the ring Shinsuke Nakamura joins the Ungovenables in the ring and shakes hands with Zelina as he celebrates with the group. Joe smiles behind looking at the Universal title the entire time as we cut to a commercial break.

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

We return from the commercial break as The Ungovenables are walking through the backstage area with smug smirks on their face. Samoa Joe has left them to it but Shinsuke Nakamura is still stood with them as Charly Caruso approaches looking for an interview.

Charly Caruso: Shinsuke, why have you agreed to be part of Team Ungovenables at Survivor Series?

Zelina looks to answer but Shinsuke puts a finger up and shakes his head. Zelina smirks as The Ungovenables leave Shinsuke alone with Charly. Shinsuke stands next to Charly and puts his hand under his chin as he tilts his head. He stays there for a really long time as Charly looks annoyed by how long Shinsuke is taking to answer. He then stops and just stands there. Charly has enough of Shinsuke antics and presses him for an answer.

Charly Caruso: Shinsuke the...

Shinsuke Nakamura: Money.

One word is all we are getting from Shinsuke Nakamura as he walks off with a smug smirk leaving an annoyed Charly Caruso as we cut back to the ring.

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

We see The B-Team (Bo Dallas and Curtis Axel) stood in the ring as they gets barely any little reaction from the live crowd.

Michael Cole: Well up next The B-Team will be in action against our World tag team champions The Authors of Pain.

Big Show: But first the champions has a few words for the Lucha Dragons.

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

We see The Authors of Pain are stood backstage in their usual SWAT attire. They have the World tag team titles over their shoulders.

Akam: In two weeks, we will introduce the Lucha Dragons to a new chapter of pain.

Rezar: We thought the beatings we've given you over the last few weeks would have been enough to send a message.

Akam: But you keep coming because you want more.

Rezar: That's fine because now it's time to bring a new era of pain for all the teams on Raw.

Akam: This is just the start.

Rezar: But it's the end for you.

The pair glared at the camera as we cut back to the ring.

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

We then see the B-Team in the ring who are no longer smiling and it's clear why.

*PAIN*

Boos from the crowd as The Authors of Pain walk to the ring with scowls on their faces. In the ring, Bo Dallas and Curtis Axel both look worried.

Michael Cole: Look at the imposing figures these two men cut.

Big Show: It says how much of a threat these two men are when former NXT and Intercontinental champions are scared of facing you!

Akam steps into the ring starting for the Authors of Pain whilst Bo Dalles nervously steps into the ring for the B-Team.

Match 3: The Authors of Pain vs The B-Team

Match summary: The Authors of Pain batter poor Bo Dallas who isn't even able to make the tag. Curtis Axel after a minute of the beating tries to make the save but Akam takes him out with a massive lariat. Rezar meanwhile plants Bo Dallas with an SIT-OUT POWERBOMB and makes the cover picking up an easy win for the Authors of Pain.

Winners via pinfall: The Authors of Pain (1:27)

Boos ring out as the Authors of Pain raise their arms into the air and mean-mug the crowd having quickly destroyed the B-Team tonight.

Michael Cole: A dominant display from The Authors of Pain.

Big Show: I wonder who can stop these two now they have the World tag team titles?

And they aren't done with the victory as they attack Curtis Axel as he enters the ring trying to check on his partner Bo Dallas. Both men beat him down before Rezar hits him with an SIT-OUT POWERBOMB as well. The Authors of Pain shake their heads as they ain't finished just yet. They give each man a couple more punches before dragging them off the mat as they get ready to hit the SUPER COLLIDER (DOUBLE POWERBOMB) …

*ANCIENT SPIRIT*

Cheers from the crowd as The Lucha Dragons sprint down the ramp getting the attention of The Authors of Pain who toss The B-Team to the side and turn to face the high-fliers but get met with DUAL SPRINGBOARD DROPKICKS! That sends both men backwards towards the ropes before running at them and hits them each with a dropkick sending them out of the ring. The Authors of Pain land on the outside as the Lucha Dragons line them up ready to dive onto the pair but The Authors of Pain wave it off and start heading up the ramp getting boos from the crowd.

Michael Cole: The Lucha Dragons saving The B-Team from a further beating tonight!

Big Show: But have they set themselves up to suffer even more pain? You know the Authors of Pain are not going to be happy about the Lucha Dragons getting involved tonight.

The Authors of Pain shake their heads but head up the ramp as they point in the ring and can be heard shouting abuse at Kalisto and Sin Cara in the ring. The Dragons meanwhile check on Bo Dallas and Curtis Axel as they look to make sure they are OK. Both men nod before Sin Cara dares The Authors of Pain to come back and fight them.

When we return from the commercial break, we hear a loud pop from the fans in the arena as THE MAN BECKY LYNCH is shown arriving at the building. As she is walking down the hallway she is approached by Renee Young who is looking for an interview.

Renee Young: Becky, in tonight's main event you will sign the contract to make your match at Survivor Series with Shayna Baszler official. How are you feeling about stepping in the ring with someone like Shayna Baszler?

Becky smirks.

Becky Lynch: I'm relishing it. I've told people that I want to fight the best and whilst Shayna is Ronnie's lapdog, she is one of the best in the business.

Becky is no longer smirking.

Becky Lynch: But she cost me my titles. Not just one but both of them. So I owe her a little payback. I've waited nearly three months to get my hands on Shayna.

Becky puts her hands up showing 3 fingers.

Becky Lynch: I've already taken care of three of the so-called Real Horsewomen even and it's just you to go Shayna.

Becky turns her hand and sticks up 4 fingers!

Becky Lynch: At Survivor Series I finish the job and I finish it by breaking your arm as well!

Becky walks off bringing the interview to the close as we cut to the commentary team at ringside.

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

Michael Cole: Strong words from Becky ahead of our main event.

Big Show: Well right now we are going to see Bayley in action against Tamina ahead of her Universal Women's title match against Sasha Banks at Survivor Series.

In the ring we see Tamina stood in the ring ready for her opponent tonight, mean-mugging the camera whilst the fans give her fairly little reaction.

*TURN IT UP*

Loud cheers from the crowd as Bayley's theme music hits however there is no sign of her confusing the fans. Her music carries on playing as Tamina in the ring looks annoyed.

Michael Cole: Where's Bayley?

Big Show: Michael I'm just getting word from backstage there is a situation.

We then quickly cut backstage as we see SASHA BANKS is attacking Bayley in the gorilla position. She lays a beating on Bayley and sends her into the wall. Sasha isn't done though as she walks up to the cameraman and pushes him over causing the camera to fall backwards. Sasha picks it up though and looks in it.

Sasha Banks: You don't want to send people to the back of the line where they belong? I'll do it myself.

Sasha then turns the camera around and CLOCKS BAYLEY IN THE FACE WITH IT! Sasha after smashing Bayley with the camera tosses it to the side as we lose signal for a second before switching to another camera as Sasha grabs a steel chair and smashes Bayley in the back with it. Sasha then grabs Bayley by the hair and starts to put the chair around her neck! Sasha looks like she is about to stomp on the chair as several officials run onto the scene and stop her!

Michael Cole: Thank god the officials have put a stop to this senseless attack.

Big Show: Sasha could have ended Bayley's career there.

Michael Cole: Guys we are going to a commercial break as we try to get the situation backstage under control. We'll be right back.

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

As we return from the commercial break we cut to the commentary team by the top of the entrance ramp.

Michael Cole: Welcome back to Monday Night Raw. Just before the commercial break, Sasha Banks tried to end Bayley's career in a horrific attack backstage but officials have gotten the situation under control.

Big Show: And I'm just getting word Paige wants to address what just happened. Let's cut to her now.

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

We cut to Paige who is backstage in her office as she looks at the camera.

Paige: Thank you, Paul. What happened just now I will not let stand on my show and Sasha Banks will be fined an undisclosed amount for her actions tonight.

Cheers from the crowd as Paige looks to carry on.

Paige: But it's come to my attention that the issues between Bayley and Sasha Banks can not be solved in a regular match. So next week both women will take part in a beat the clock challenge and the winner will pick the stipulation for their title match at Survivor Series.

Pop from the fans excited to see both women in action next week.

Paige: And due to her actions tonight, Sasha will have the first match allowing Bayley to know if she needs to beat her time or if she just needs to win.

Paige smiles.

Paige: Sasha Banks will be taking on Kairi Sane next week whilst...

Loud cheers from the crowd excited to see a rematch between Kairi Sane and Sasha Banks next week.

Paige: Whilst Bayley. Well, I've had a word with my fellow Brit William Regal.

A decent pop from the live crowd.

Paige: And next week Bayley will be taking on one-half of the longest-reigning Women's tag team champions in history DAKOTA KAI!

Loud cheers as we cut back to the commentary team.

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

Michael Cole: Two massive matches announced for next week's Raw.

Big Show: Not only do we get a Universal Women's title rematch from Backlash but we get to see Bayley take on one-half of the longest-reigning Women's tag team champions from NXT Dakota Kai.

*OBSESSION*

Boos from the crowd as the fricking legend herself Mickie James makes her way to the ring as she looks to take on the newcomer to Monday Night Raw Mia Yim.

Michael Cole: Well this match was made last week by our commissioner Paige after Mia Yim and Mickie James got into a brawl taking them out of the match.

Big Show: Mickie James over the last week on Twitter has been highly critical of Mickie James and the wrestlers of today saying they aren't showing enough respect to the legends who paved the way.

*NUMBER ONE*

Cheers from the crowd as Mia Yim makes her way out with a baseball cap on her head. She takes her time walking to the ring as Mickie James is talking trash. Mia Yim though pays little attention to Mickie James and instead gives a kid in the front row her baseball cap!

Michael Cole: Mia Yim may be a bit cocky but that's due to how self-confident she is.

Big Show: She fought up and down this country for many years to get the opportunity to fight in the WWE and Mia Yim isn't going to waste it.

Mia Yim slides into the ring as Mickie is still jaw-jacking with her and shouting that she needs to show respect to a legend. Mia rolls her eyes as the referee calls for the bell to get this match underway.

Match 4: Mia Yim vs Mickie James

Match summary: Mia Yim and Mickie James lock up at the start of the match as each woman tries to take control and wrestle the other down to the mat. Mickie James wins the first encounter and starts getting cocky mouthing off in Mia Yim's face so Mia SLAPS HER! That backfires quickly on Mickie James as Mia jumps onto the veteran and starts laying into her with several fists, hammering the legend. From there the match turns into a bit of a brawl with both women laying into each other with hard strikes.

They even end up on the outside of the ring and nearly get each other counted out. Back in the ring Mickie takes control with a hair pull and works over Mia Yim and even looks like picking up the win on a couple of occasions. At the end of the match, Mickie plants Mia Yim with a suplex and taunts the crowd saying she is legendary. She turns back around to go for the MICKIE-DTBUT MIA YIM WAS PLAYING POSSUM AND ROLLS HER UP! 1 2 3 Mia Yim picks up the win!

Winner via pinfall: Mia Yim (8:32)

Mia Yim lets go of the hold and gets to her feet as she starts to celebrate. Mickie James meanwhile sits on the mat and holds her head as she looks furious.

Michael Cole: Mia Yim picks up the win!

Big Show: Mickie James got cocky and it cost her tonight. She should really know better.

Mia Yim slides out of the ring as she celebrates slapping hands with a few of the fans having picked up her first win on Monday Night Raw. Mickie James meanwhile is sat down on the mat still and it slowly sinks in she lost. The referee tries to talk to her but Mickie pushes the referee away and starts throwing a temper tantrum as she kicks the ropes. Mia Yim at the top of the entrance ramp can't help but laugh and smile as she asks Mickie whose the legend now.

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

We then cut elsewhere backstage as we can see The Ungovenables and Shinsuke Nakamura walking towards the ring, with Zelina Vega leading the way.

Michael Cole: After the commercial break, we will see Ilja Dragunov in action against the fifth man on Team Black at Survivor Series. Find out who that is after the commercial break.

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

*SOVIET MARCH*

Boos from the crowd as The Ungovenables and Shinsuke Nakamura make their way to the theme music of Ilja Dragunov. The Mad Russian sprints down the ramp as Zelina leads her men.

Michael Cole: Ilja has impressed in singles action over the last few weeks and even took AJ Styles to the limit on last week's Raw.

Big Show: Well with all the people he has ringside you have to give him the edge. But I do wonder, where's Samoa Joe? We can see Shinsuke out here but no Samoa Joe.

*ROOT OF ALL EVIL*

Loud cheers as Aleister Black walks out once again instead of his usual entrance. He is soon followed by Dolph Ziggler, Rusev, Lana, Chad Gable, and Kurt Angle. Black has a microphone in hand as he looks to address the Ungovenables in and around the ring.

Aleister Black: As I can see Zelina your group always travels in a pack so I figured I'd bring my team out here as well to make sure our final man gets his chance at revenge.

Cheers from the crowd as Ilja chuckles in the ring showing no fear.

Aleister Black: Please welcome the fifth member of Team Black: HUMBERTO CARRILLO!

A decent reaction from the live crowd as Humberto Carrillo makes his return (though some fans are disappointed it's not Dominik Mysterio). He looks at Black and shakes his hand as he sprints down the ramp.

Michael Cole: Humberto Carrillo has been out of action for over a month after an assault on him and Rey Mysterio by The Ungovenables.

Big Show: Ilja Dragunov was the one who broke his hand and I don't think Humberto wants to wait to get payback.

Big Show is right as Humberto jumps onto the apron and springboards onto Ilja as he lays into him with several strikes starting this match with a bang!

Match 5: Ilja Dragunov w/The Ungovenables and Shinsuke Nakamura vs Humberto Carrillo w/Aleister Black, Dolph Ziggler, Rusev, Lana, Chad Gable and Kurt Angle

Match summary: Humberto stays on top in the first few seconds and batters Ilja Dragunov forcing the mad Russian to the outside of the ring! Humberto doesn't stop there though as he runs off the ropes and hits a suicide dive to the outside wiping out THE UNGOVENABLES... BUT ILJA MOVES OUT OF THE WAY IN TIME! Ilja uses this to pounce on Humberto and sends him into the barricade! Ilja starts chopping the shit out of Humberto's chest and batters the young high-flier before sending him back into the ring. Ilja from there batters Humberto with several hard chops and strikes as Humberto struggles to stay in the match.

However, Humberto uses his speed and agility to fight back. On the outside we see Zelina looks like she is about to climb onto the apron to help Ilja but Lana pulls her off and starts attacking Zelina! The rest of the Ungovenables and Shinsuke tries to help Zelina on the outside but that leads to a fight between the men on the outside! This distracts the ref so Ilja looks to remove the top turnbuckle but ANGLE SEES THIS AND CLOCKS ILJA IN THE JAW! Humberto then climbs to the top rope and hits a ROUNDING MOONSAULT! Humberto makes the cover 1 2 3 Humberto wins in his return match!

Winner via pinfall: Humberto Carrillo (8:22)

Michael Cole: Carrillo picks up the win with an assist from Kurt Angle!

Big Show: And you have to blame Zelina, she got involved first leading to the brawl. Angle saw Ilja cheating and made sure he couldn't carry on!

Humberto Carrillo gets to his feet but he doesn't spend too long in the ring as he rolls to the outside and looks to help his team in their fight on the outside. The two groups end up brawling but the numbers game is in favor of Team Black and they end up sending The Ungovenables including the Universal champion and Shinsuke Nakamura retreating up the ramp. Zelina trash talks Team Black and is soon joined by Ilja Dragunov. Back in the ring, Humberto celebrates with the fans and thanks Kurt Angle for his help as we cut to a commercial break.

When we return from the commercialbreak we see Samoa Joe looking to leave the arena. However, as he is about to exit he is stopped by Zelina Vega and Andrade Cien Almas. Zelina and Andrade both look annoyed.

Zelina Vega: Where were you?

Joe smirks which makes Andrade step forward.

Samoa Joe: Just try it.

Both men stare each other down with neither man backing down.

Samoa Joe: I made it clear that I'm not one of your clients. I do things on my terms. There is only two matches involving your clients that I care about getting involved in. Survivor Series...

Joe prods the shoulder of Andrade once again sending the champion slightly back.

Samoa Joe: And the Universal title match I get when I lead your boys to victory.

Samoa Joe turns around to leave the arena as Andrade gets ready to attack Joe from behind but Zelina calms her lead client down as we cut elsewhere backstage.

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

We see Shayna Baszler is in a locker room, wearing a leather jacket and sunglasses on her head. She is on the phone with someone as Renee Young walks into the room.

Renee Young: Shayna...

Shayna Baszler: Do you mind? I'm on the phone.

Renee is a little taken aback but leaves Shayna to the call a moment.

Shayna Baszler: Nah it's all good. I know when I'll see you next and I look forward to it.

Shayna hangs up the phone and turns back around facing Renee Young.

Shayna Baszler: What do you want?

Renee Young: In tonight's main event you sign the contract to make your match with Becky Lynch at Survivor Series. How are you feeling ahead of tonight's main event?

Shayna smirks.

Shayna Baszler: I've toyed with my prey for long enough. Tonight, I'm signing a contract. I'm signing The Man's death warrant. Now leave. I've got business to attend to.

Renee takes her leave as Shayna gets her phone out and makes another phone call as we cut to a commercial break.

We return from the commercial break as we see Humberto Carrillo walking through the back as he bumps into the man who has been his mentor over the last few months REY MYSTERIO. Both men smile when they see each other and even share a hug.

Rey Mysterio: Hey man, how's the arm doing?

Humberto Carrillo: It's all healed and I'm back to one hundred percent. I just want to say thank you for putting me forward for Team Black.

Rey Mysterio: Kid don't worry about it. You deserve it especially after what they did to you.

Humberto Carrillo: And I will get revenge. Not only for myself Rey but for you too. Listen if you need me to help you with The Club or The Ungovenables or even Seth Rollins you name it and I'll be there to help you.

Rey smiles and nods.

Rey Mysterio: Listen I appreciate it but I will handle whatever comes my way. That starts with Karl Anderson next week and anyone else who gets involved at Survivor Series. Including Seth Rollins.

Both men share another hug before we cut back to the ring.

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

*TOP ONE PERCENT*

Boos from the crowd the Top 1% EC3 makes his way out joined by Drake Maverick. EC3 looks focused as he walks to the ring as Drake Maverick shouts at the fans and tells them to show respect to EC3.

Michael Cole: Well up next EC3 and Drake Maverick will be taking on Jey Uso and a mystery partner.

Big Show: I wonder who it will be. There is no shortage of people looking to get their hands on EC3 and people who like Jey backstage.

*DONE WITH THAT*

Cheers from the crowd as Jey Uso makes his way out with a microphone in hand. He has a smile on his face as the crowd wonder who will be teaming with him tonight.

Jey Uso: I have to say there was no shortage of people who wanted to help me put your ass on lockdown.

Jey sticks his hands up and one by one puts his fingers up.

Jey Uso: My boi Ryder, Heath, hell all ten of his kids wanted to step into the ring with me. They're the same size as Drake.

Cheers and a few chuckles from the crowd as Drake tries to run past EC3 and attack Jey Uso.

Jey Uso: But there was only one many I wanted to team with tonight. This person has been by my side since birth. He's been down with me since day one and he's my twin brother. C'mon on out Uce!

*DONE WITH THAT*

Cheers from the crowd as JIMMY USO makes his return from injury and walks up to his brother as they share a fist bump. Both men slap hands with the crowd as they look fired up whilst in the ring Drake Maverick looks terrified at the thought of facing the six-time tag team champions!

Michael Cole: The Usos are back together!

Big Show: Jimmy picked up an injury that ruled him out of action for several months leaving Jey on his own in the WWE.

The Usos carrying on playing to the fans in the ring as Jimmy steps over the ropes and looks to start for his team. EC3 meanwhile tells Drake to start. Drake tries to argue with EC3 but EC3 pushes him into the ring and tells him to fight as the referee calls for the bell to get the match underway.

Match 6: The Usos vs EC3 and Drake Maverick

Match summary: Jimmy is on fire at the start of the match and easily takes down Drake Maverick. Drake has to roll over to his corner and tag EC3 into the match to get some rest bite. Throughout the match, it becomes clear how outmatched Drake Maverick is when in the ring with The Usos and in the end they isolate him. Jey takes out EC3 with a superkick and Jimmy follows it up with a superkick to Drake and climbs to the top rope as he hits him with a SUPERFLY SPLASH! Jimmy makes the cover and picks up the win in his return.

Winners via pinfall: The Usos (5:19)

Cheers from the crowd as Jey runs over to his brother and they share a hug. EC3 meanwhile on the outside look at The Usos with a snarl on the outside as he rubs his jaw.

Michael Cole: The Usos clearly haven't lost a step!

Big Show: EC3 may not be happy about it but The Usos have been one of the best tag teams in the WWE for the last few years for a reason.

EC3 drags Drake Maverick out of the ring and carries him towards the back, not taking his eyes off The Usos celebrating in the ring as we cut to a commercial break.

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

When we return from the commercial break, we cut to what looks like a gym as we see THE BEAST BROCK LESNAR training and working out. Paul Heyman isn't there and instead narrates over the scene as Brock carries on his work out including lifting tires and also grappling with some trainers in the gym.

Paul Heyman: There is no athlete in the world today, no there is no athlete ever who you can compare to Brock Lesnar.

We then cut to clips of Brock Lesnar stepping into UFC and defeating numerous competitors.

Paul Heyman: But if there was an athlete who I would pick as the closest to Brock Lesnar, it would be you Mr. Lashley.

We then see clips of Bobby Lashley picking up wins in Bellator.

Paul Heyman: Last week you mentioned having a better MMA record than my client Brock Lesnar. And whilst that may be true, you are only telling half the story.

We see clips of Brock's loss to Cain Velasquez.

Paul Heyman: When Brock was on top of the UFC, it took a life-threatening disease to stop him. And he still fought through the pain. He still carried on fighting and recovered to make it back to the top of the WWE.

We then see the return of Brock Lesnar to UFC and WWE, dominating the competition.

Paul Heyman: That's where you and my client differ. See Lashley you are what happens to potential if you don't have the right counsel.

We see clips of Lio Rush at ringside during Lashley's matches and acting on his behalf.

Paul Heyman: See Brock, when he first started people told him the wrong things. But I was able to help Brock realize he didn't need to listen to anyone and look at all the world titles he's won. Whilst Lashley, you've won titles but you never quite made it to the top.

Paul puts his hands up.

Paul Heyman: And if you ask me? I think you will. One day you'll finally make it to the top, with the right counsel.

We then cut to a video of Brock working out and destroying wrestler after wrestler after wrestler.

Paul Heyman: But at Survivor Series, you'll find out why no one can match Brock in MMA. Why no one can match Brock in WWE. And why there is only one Brock Lesnar.

The video package comes to an end with Paul Heyman letting out a massive smile.

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

We then cut to the backstage area as we see Lio Rush and Bobby Lashley watching a TV having just watched what Paul Heyman had to say. Bobby Lashley looks furious as Charly Caruso approaches them looking for an interview.

Charly Caruso: Lio Rush, Bobby Lashley strong words from Paul Heyman. What do you have to stay?

Lashley steps forward looking to speak but Lio Rush cuts in before he can.

Lio Rush: What do we have to say? The man of the hour and twenty-four years old piece of gold cannot believe what they are hearing. That Lashley does not have the right counsel. There is no counsel better than me.

Lashley looks at him for a moment but lets Lio Rush carry on.

Lio Rush: I have my eye on gold and under my guidance Lashley has come this close to becoming Universal champion. He became a two-time Intercontinental champion, he ended the career of Braun Strowman and at Survivor Series he will end the myth surrounding Brock Lesnar.

As Lio Rush says that we see Drew Gulak walk onto the scene.

Lio Rush: Excuse me do you mind? The stars are speaking.

Drew looks unimpressed and gestures for Charly's microphone. Charly gives it to Gulak.

Drew Gulak: Thank you. Bobby...

Lio Rush: Does not have time to speak to a loser like you.

Drew Gulak: That's a shame. Ya see I was going to offer to give Lashley some counsel ahead of fighting Brock Lesnar. See I've learned numerous submission holds from...

Lio Rush: No one asked you stu...

Lio Rush lifts his arm up and Drew grabs it locking the cocky manager in an armbar. Lashley stands there for a moment before sighing as he boots Drew in the head. He then grabs Drew Gulak and tosses him into the wall. Rush gets to his feet and gives Gulak a quick boot before walking off.

Lio Rush: That's what you get! That's what you get!

The camera focuses on Drew Gulak down on the floor selling the damage done by Bobby Lashley as we cut to the final commercial break of the night.

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

We return from the commercial break as we cut to the commentary team who are at the top of the entrance ramp in their usual position.

Michael Cole: Well it's been an action-packed night so far. However, I've got word from Paige as she was making her way to the ring that another match has been made for next week's Raw.

Big Show: That's right Michael. Bobby Lashley will take on Drew Gulak one on one.

Michael Cole: It will be a tough work-out for Lashley ahead of his Survivor Series match against Brock Lesnar.

Big Show: However right now we need to cut to the Raw commissioner Paige who is stood in the ring ahead of the contract signing behind Becky Lynch and Shayna Baszler.

As Big Show said we cut to Paige in the ring as she is stood next to a table with two seats on either side, two microphones, and a contract in the middle of the table.

Paige: Hello Uniondale, New York I hope you have been enjoying the show so far.

Cheap pop from the crowd.

Paige: But we have one more piece of business to conduct.

The crowd carries on cheering as Paige smiles.

Paige: So let's start by getting the Queen of Spades Shayna Baszler out here!

*LOYALTY IS EVERYTHING*

Boos from the crowd as Shayna Baszler walks out in her signature leather jacket. She has her sunglasses on her head as she walks to the ring with a cocky smirk. She steps through the ropes and ignores the handshake from Paige as she takes a seat on the table furthest away from the entrance ramp and puts her feet on the table. Paige looks a bit annoyed but carries on.

Paige: And The Man Becky Lynch!

*CELTIC INVASION*

Becky Lynch makes her way out with her usual cocky swagger. She walks to the ring, not taking her eyes off Shayna as she makes her way into the ring. Becky steps through the ropes and stares Shayna down. Shayna doesn't stop smiling as Becky takes a seat across from her and Paige looks to get this contract signing underway.

Paige: As you can see in front of you, that is the contract to make your match at Survivor Series official.

Neither woman is looking at the contract and instead, their eyes are locked on each other.

Paige: Now you each will have a chance to look through the contract and speak before signing it.

Shayna grabs the contract first and takes her time looking through it. Becky though has no interest in waiting.

Becky Lynch: What's taking you so long? You finally realize what you're in for at Survivor Series?

Shayna takes a moment to finish reading the contract and shakes her head with her smile turning into a laugh.

Shayna Baszler: Oh Becky this false bravado, it would be impressive if I didn't see right through it.

Becky looks unimpressed.

Shayna Baszler: Y'see I wanted to make sure there was an extra little stipulation in that contract.

Becky's eyebrow raises as Shayna carries on.

Shayna Baszler: All this time you've been talking about breaking my arm at Survivor Series but if I remember correctly you didn't break Ronda's arm. You may have beaten her but you couldn't get her to tap out.

Becky Lynch: What's ya point Shayna?

Shayna Baszler: What I'm saying is that you're all talk.

Both women are staring each other down intensely as Paige looks ready to step in if these two women start brawling.

Shayna Baszler: You talk about wanting to break my arm at Survivor Series but once you step into the ring with me, you'll finally realize how out of your depth you truly are. And instead of breaking my arm, you'll look for a way to survive.

Becky doesn't flinch as she keeps her eyes on Shayna.

Shayna Baszler: You'll desperately look for another lucky roll-up to escape. Giving you the chance to gloat. Giving you the chance to boast and proclaim yourself as The Man one more time, knowing deep down inside you couldn't fulfill your promise to these fans.

Shayna sits back smirking.

Shayna Baszler: So I've added a stipulation to the match. I want to face you at Survivor Series in a submission match!

Becky keeps her eyes on Shayna not reacting as Paige steps forward grabbing the contract. She reads through and finds the change to the contract.

Paige: You didn't clear this with me?

Shayna scoffs.

Shayna Baszler: It doesn't matter whether I clear it with you or not. The only way I'm fighting her at Survivor Series is in a submission match.

Paige turns to Becky Lynch.

Paige: Becky looking through the contract, the only way to win the match would be to make Shayna either tap out or pass out. What do you say?

Paige places the contract back on the table as Shayna signs it. Becky as soon as Shayna signs it, has a quick peek through and signs the contract. Shayna smirks as Becky grabs her microphone.

Becky Lynch: You think I'm afraid of you Shayna? I've been begging for you to finally step up and face the man for months.

Becky gets to her feet as Shayna gets up too. Both women are staring each other down as Paige tries to get them to back away from each other.

Becky Lynch: And here's the thing whether I pinned you or tapped you out I was planning on breaking your arm anyway. So it being a submission match? That only gives you less options. The only option is whether you tap out as I break your arm or you pass out from the pain.

Shayna smirks.

Shayna Baszler: I'll just have to choke you out instead!

Becky Lynch: It'll be hard to do that when I break your goddamn arm! See the only person that'll be choking is you. As you choke back the tears when you run all the way back to Ronnie like the little bitch you are!

Shayna has heard enough at that point going for a punch but Becky blocks it and looks to counter locking in AN ARMBAR! Shayna thinks fast and lays in a few punches breaking free. Shayna flees under the ropes and retreats up the ramp leaving The Man Becky Lynch disappointed in the ring. Becky Lynch though responds grabbing one of the microphones.

Becky Lynch: You can run for now but at Survivor Series, your arm is mine!

Becky tosses the microphone down and poses for the crowd as her music hits. The show comes to a close with Shayna Baszler retreating up the ramp and glaring at Becky Lynch who is smugly smirking in the ring, as these women will now have to make the other tap or pass out in a few weeks.

Tamina out for 1 month:

Tamina has suffered a broken nose at a house show and will be out of action for the next month. This is another blow to the Raw Women's division at the moment which is a bit thin on the ground with Naomi and Nia Jax both still out of actions with injuries whilst The Divas of Doom and The Real Horsewomen (Jessamyn Duke and Marina Sharif) are out with storyline injuries.

Chris · Jan 25, 2021

That's a blow you'll never recover from

Roy Mustang · Jan 25, 2021

Chris said:
That's a blow you'll never recover from

It's more annoying as she's an easy name to throw out to lose a match and give someone a win on TV

Sass · Jan 26, 2021

So I just spent the last few days reading through all of this and I LOVE IT! Its better then everything going on with WWE now. I also love that you have the women's tag team champions fight more teams from NXT.

Friday night Smackdown
November 8th
Rochester, New York

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

We cut to the arena after the initial video package to start the show before we cut to the commentary team at ringside.

Corey Graves: It's Friday night and you know what that means. Welcome to Smackdown Live him from Rochester, New York.

Byron Saxton: And we have a massive match in store for the main event as Pete Dunne defends his Intercontinental title in Luke Harper's home town!

Corey Graves: Last time Pete Dunne had home-field advantage but tonight Luke Harper has it and I think we will see a title change!

Byron Saxton: Not only that but The New Day and Carmella will both be in action!

*THE EMPIRE*

Boos from the crowd as Roman Reigns marches out to the ring and he is joined by Shane McMahon, Daniel Bryan, Erick Rowan, The War Raiders, and Baron Corbin. Baron Corbin has to help Shane McMahon into the ring due to his leg injury but the group all make it inside the ring as the crowd boo the hell out of them.

Corey Graves: Well you can see five of the men who will step into the ring for Team Shane at Survivor Series.

Byron Saxton: I wonder why Baron Corbin isn't on the team Corey?

Corey Graves: Listen Shane McMahon does everything for a reason and maybe Corbin is still in shock after seeing his best friend Elias tossed off the Cell at Halloween Havoc. Shane cares about his employees.

The heels in the ring now have microphones as they look to address the live crowd.

Shane McMahon: In three weeks, we bring Triple H's time in charge of this brand to an end. And that is best for business.

Loud boos for Shane McMahon. How times change.

Shane McMahon: You can see the difference in our management styles with how we've made our teams. Triple H has rushed to get his team together grabbing anyone he could whilst I'm taking my time and picking the right men.

Byron Saxton (on commentary): Or you've made so many enemies Triple H was spoiled for choice!

Shane McMahon: See I've only picked five men so far but I've picked 5 of the best.

All the heels smile except Baron Corbin who looks a bit annoyed. Shane McMahon though notices this.

Shane McMahon: And the only reason you're not on my team Baron, is I'll need your talents elsewhere on that night. Especially after what you had to go through seeing Elias being thrown off the cell.

Boos from the crowd not buying the excuse with Corey chiming in he was right.

Shane McMahon: Do you know what it's like to fall from the Cell? I've done it twice. The only reason I survived is I'm a goddamn McMahon and we're made of tougher stuff than you people.

More boos from the crowd.

Shane McMahon: Elias' career could be over! But you people don't care about the suffering Baron Corbin is going through without his tag team partner.

Shane passes the microphone to Baron Corbin.

Baron Corbin: At Halloween Havoc I saw first-hand what a monster Drew McIntyre is. He tossed my best friend off hell in a cell and I couldn't do anything about it.

Loud boos as the crowd clearly disagree or want Corbin to shut up.

Baron Corbin: And yet you people cheer for Drew like he is some kind of hero. No, we're the heroes and we will stop the tyranny of Triple H!

Cheap heat but it is loud. Baron Corbin is now done as he passes the microphone to Roman Reigns.

Roman Reigns: You people may not like what happened inside Hell in a Cell but you need to accept it.

Roman lifts his WWE title into the air and proudly shows it off.

Roman Reigns: Just like you need to accept that after Survivor Series, The Corporation will reign supreme once again.

Roman places the WWE title back around his waist. He smirks as he looks at the fans booing.

Roman Reigns: Look at my record in Survivor Series matches. I made an impact on my debut destroying John Cena. I've won matches effectively on my own at Survivor Series. I became a WWE champion at Survivor Series for the first time and once again I will reign supreme. Believe dat.

Roman smirks as the crowd get even louder in their boos. Roman then passes the microphone to Daniel Bryan! This gets a mixed reaction from the smarky fans leaning towards cheers which makes Bryan shake his head.

Daniel Bryan: Don't you fickle fans cheer me.

That gets some of them booing.

Daniel Bryan: Years ago if my victory meant Triple H was out of power, you people would be calling me a hero. Chanting YES YES YES YES YES!

The fans start to join in which only makes Bryan angrier.

Daniel Bryan: NO NO NO STOP IT! STOP IT!

The fans however carry on chanting YES YES YES YES winding Daniel Bryan up further. Rowan then takes the microphone from Bryan as he looks to address the fans now himself.

Erick Rowan: You people need to show respect to a true champion for the planet!

Boos from the crowd as Rowan carries on.

Erick Rowan: Daniel Bryan is making sure you people don't have to stay goodbye to the planet forever!

The crowd carry on booing and The Corporation could carries this on all night long, however...

*NEW DAY, NEW WAY*

There is no Big E introduction but it still gets a loud pop from the fans as Kofi Kingston makes his way out the top of the entrance ramp. The Corporation don't look impressed as Kofi addresses the heels in the ring.

Kofi Kingston: See I was sat backstage with the rest of The New Day and we were listening to what you had to say. Roman do you think you're the only one who has had great nights at Survivor Series? Hell ten years ago I pinned two champions in the space of a minute to lead my team to victory.

Cheers from the crowd.

Kofi Kingston: And look how many people I had to go through to get my hands on Daniel Bryan and become WWE champion!

Bryan shakes his head furious to be reminded of his loss at Wrestlemania to Kofi.

Daniel Bryan: How about you come to this ring and say that?

Kofi smiles.

Kofi Kingston: Wow you must think I'm really stupid?

Kofi smirks.

Kofi Kingston: See I could come to that ring right now. Or I could wait for some friends to back me up?

*FIGHTS APART*

Loud cheers from the crowd as Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn make their way out joining Kofi Kingston at the top of the ramp.

Kevin Owens: Did someone say there was a fight?

Sami Zayn: I think they did Kevin.

*I CAME TO MAKE BELIEVE*

John Morrison and The Miz make their way our next, both with microphones of their own (with the W on them upside down in signature Miz fashion). They stand next to Kofi, Kevin Owens, and Sami Zayn looking at the Corporation in the ring.

The Miz: Morrison what do we see in the ring?

Morrison puts his hand over his eyes and points at The Corporation in the ring.

John Morrison: I see Daniel Bryan talking out of his ass.

Daniel Bryan looks furious and leans on the ropes.

Daniel Bryan: Why don't you two goofs go back to Hollywood with the rest of the...

Hanson takes the microphone from Bryan as Rowe calms him down.

Hanson: Why don't you five stop standing there and fight us right now!

Mixed reaction due to it being the War Raiders asking for a fight. All 5 look at each other and nod as they head to the ring ready to fight the 6 men in the ring (as Shane wisely sneaks to the outside). However halfway down the ramp Kofi stops them and lifting his hand up as he starts to count.

Kofi Kingston: Wait guys I think I'm forgetting someone.

*BROKEN DREAMS*

A loud pop from the live crowd as the Sinister Scotsman marches down the ramp and even walks past his teammates as he heads straight to the ring. The rest of team Triple H look at each other and shrug as they walk to the ring following Drew McIntyre. Once they are inside the brawl is on inside the ring and it doesn't take long for the faces to take control as they batter The Corporation and one by one they are all sent out of the ring to the outside until Roman is left alone. Kofi and Drew charge at him hitting a DROPKICK AND CLAYMORE COMBO! Roman falls over the ropes and lands on the outside looking annoyed as the Corporation lick their wounds on the outside as the faces stand tall in the ring as...

*KING OF KINGS*

Loud cheers from the crowd as Triple H makes his way out to the top of the entrance ramp. He is in a business suit as Shane McMahon by the barricade is shaking his head and looks furious.

HHH: Shane you talk about me being a tyrant but I can assure you I'm nothing of the sort.

Cheers from the crowd as Triple H snarls from the top of the ramp. Bryan however shouts otherwise.

HHH: The days of the Authority of old are long gone or they are meant to be. Shane, it's why I know exactly what you're trying to do it as I've done it myself, only better.

Triple H locks eyes with Roman Reigns. Roman doesn't back down and gets his fists up ready for a fight.

HHH: And when my team wins at Survivor Series, the days of this show being about us are over. It will go back to being about the superstars.

Cheap pop from the crowd as Bryan shakes his head as he shouts at the fans calling them fickle.

HHH: I want to give these fans an example of what the future of this brand is going to be.

Cheers from the crowd as Corbin grabs a microphone.

Baron Corbin: Oh what is it going to be a bunch of geeks from NXT?

Loud boos from the crowd. Triple H does not look impressed.

HHH: Baron it might be best you put your gun away before we get onto the dumpster fire that was your career in NXT!

Massive pop from the crowd as Corbin shakes his head. In the ring KO does a fake falling motion into the arms of Kofi, Zayn, Morrison, and The Miz. Drew looks at KO meanwhile unimpressed with the goofiness.

HHH: To get this show back on track, no one will be allowed at ringside for matches involving members of my team and Team Shane until Survivor Series!

Cheers from the crowd as Bryan and Corbin protest the decision (even though Corbin isn't on either team) but Triple H ignores them.

HHH: And that's going to start right now as Kofi Kingston takes on Hanson in singles action right now!

A loud pop from the crowd as Kofi smiles in the ring. Drew looks a little annoyed whilst the rest of Team Triple H wishes him good luck. On the outside Team Shane are still complaining about Triple H's ruling minus The War Raiders. The War Raiders just look at each other with angry glares before touching elbows as Hanson marches to the ring!

Byron Saxton: A massive announcement from Triple H tonight.

Corey Graves: Of course Triple H is flexing his power and influence over his brand. He is addicted to power. Always has been!

Byron Saxton: Do you want superstars out here causing chaos and constantly interfering in matches?

Corey turns to Byron for a second but then turns away as we cut to Hanson and Kofi Kingston in the ring.

Corey Graves: After the commercial break Hanson of The War Raiders will be in action against Kofi Kingston! Don't go anywhere.

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

Match 1: Kofi Kingston vs Hanson

Match summary: When we return from the commercial break Hanson is in control as he works over Kofi. We see a few clips from the ad break with Kofi trying to use his speed and agility but Hanson keeps up surprisingly well with Kofi. Corey Graves on commentary says Hanson will have a point to prove tonight and a win tonight over former WWE champion Kofi Kingston would be a big deal for him so early in his WWE career.

Kofi starts to make a fightback countering a powerbomb attempt turning it into an SOS for a close two count! Kofi doesn't stop there as he runs off the ropes and starts laying into Hanson with several running double axe handles! Hanson though after the first couple starts to sell less and less before wiping out Kofi with a massive lariat! Kofi falls to the mat as Hanson makes the cover but Kofi kicks out at 2!

Hanson follows it up by running off the ropes looking for a body splash but Kofi moves out of the way just in time! Kofi runs off the ropes and bounces back as hits him with a basement dropkick sending Hanson onto his back. Kofi wastes no time as he runs off the ropes and hits Hanson with the BOOM DROP! Cheers from the crowd as Kofi Kingston gets to his feet and lines up Hanson as he hits him with TROUBLE IN PARADISE! Kofi makes the cover and picks up the win!

Winner via pinfall: Kofi Kingston (10:10)

Cheers from the crowd as Kofi gets to his feet, holding his ribs selling the damage he has taken throughout the match. Hanson meanwhile rolls out of the ring and rubs his jaw as he looks annoyed he came up short tonight.

Byron Saxton: Kofi picks up the win and Corey I have to say if anyone is next in line for a shot at the WWE Champion Roman Reigns, it's Kofi Kingston.

Corey Graves: Kofi has as good of a case as anyone in the WWE right now but what if Team Triple H loses at Survivor Series?

We cut back to the ring as Kofi Kingston slaps hands with the fans and carries on his celebrations as we cut backstage.

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

We cut to a locker room as Team Triple H (minus Kofi Kingston and Pete Dunne) are watching the match on a TV backstage. Drew McIntyre is sat separately from them and is not paying any attention to the TV as the other 4 celebrate Kofi's win.

Kevin Owens: He did it!

Owens high-fives Sami Zayn.

Sami Zayn: And soon he will be the W W E Champion again!

Drew overhears this and gets to his feet kicking a chair over as he walks right up to Sami Zayn.

Drew McIntyre: And that makes you happy? Someone else making it to the top?

John Morrison: Hey listen fella I think it might be best to calm down.

John puts his arm on Drew but the Scotsman knocks his arm away and towers over John Morrison.

Drew McIntyre: Don't ever touch me again.

John looks ready for a fight but The Miz comes over and pulls his partner away.

The Miz: Come on John we have our agent to speak to about Marine eight.

John Morrison: But there isn't...

The Miz pulls him off-camera as Kevin Owens gets into Drew's face. Both men stare each other down.

Kevin Owens: Y'know maybe you are right. Maybe Sami is too focused on being happy for other people.

Sami goes to speak as Kevin turns to him.

Kevin Owens: I love you but sometimes you need to be quiet.

Sami nods and walks off leaving Kevin Owens alone with Drew McIntyre.

Kevin Owens: Do you know why I don't like you? Why I don't trust you?

Drew doesn't say a word just staring at Owens.

Kevin Owens: You remind me of myself.

Drew shakes his head.

Drew McIntyre: We are not the same. I would never be happy to see someone have the WWE title over myself.

Kevin Owens: And you think I'm happy not being at the top of this brand? I was on top once. I had the Universal title in my hands and I never come close to holding it since. Do you what that title meant to me?

Drew McIntyre: That you were best and all your hard work was worth all the sacrifices you've made to get to the top.

Owens smiles.

Kevin Owens: Expect unlike you, I don't just do it for myself. I do it for my family. Every person I've broken, every bridge I've burned I did for them. And I was wrong.

Owens shakes his head.

Kevin Owens: Right now? What we're fighting for Survivor Series is more important than just one of us. I want to show my son that he can be a better person than I was.

Drew McIntyre: I don't care. You lot need to stay out of my way at Survivor Series and tell Kofi that I'm next in line for the WWE title.

Drew goes to leave but Owens grabs his arm. Drew turns around ready to throw hands.

Kevin Owens: You may think you can do this all by yourself but we need to work as a team. Because if you cause Shane McMahon to stay in power by doing this lone wolf shtick, I'll make sure my son doesn't see what I do to you.

Drew doesn't flinch.

Drew McIntyre: Owens, I gained a lot of experience fighting throughout the world to get back here. You and Sami? You both fought all over the world like I did so I have some respect for you.

Drew and Owens are now nose to nose.

Drew McIntyre: But why don't you ask Elias what happens if you get in my way?

Both men stare each other down before Drew McIntyre walks off as we cut to a commercial break.

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

We return from the commercial break, as The Intercontinental Champion Pete Dunne is making his way into the arena. A mixed reaction tonight leaning towards boos as Pete Dunne stands in the way of the hometown hero Luke Harper becoming an Intercontinental champion. He has his signature snarl on his face upon entering the arena but he is soon stopped by Cathy Kelly.

Cathy Kelly: Pete how are you feeling ahead of tonight's main event where you defend your Intercontinental title against Luke Harper?

Pete Dunne: Last time we faced, it was on my turf. Now we do it on his. But it doesn't matter where we fight.

Boos from the crowd as Pete Dunne dismisses their effect.

Pete Dunne: The result will be the same and I might break all of his fingers this time.

Cathy Kelly: Does Luke Harper's rampage since losing that title not worry you?

Dunne snarls and looks at Cathy with disgust.

Pete Dunne: Do I look scared? I faced all kinds of monsters when I was NXT UK Champion. Luke Harper may have found some new aggression but he hasn't seen the lengths I will go to if it means I keep this title.

Pete Dunne turns away from Cathy but she isn't done with the interview.

Cathy Kelly: One more question Pete, why were you not here earlier on in the night to help your teammates at Survivor Series?

Pete Dunne: The only reason I'm teaming with them is to help Triple H. I don't care about Shane. I don't care about any of The Corporation unless they get in my way and I don't care who my teammates are as long as they help me get the job done.

Pete Dunne has his signature scowl before walking off, as he heads into a locker room whilst we cut to the commentary team at ringside.

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

Corey Graves: Notice the difference between the two teams Byron. The Corporation are united whilst Team Triple H are divided and don't care about each other.

Byron Saxton: But they care about stopping team Shane! However, Pete Dunne has his own problems to worry about in tonight's main event.

Corey Graves: He might not make it to Survivor Series if Luke Harper has his way!

*CATCH YOUR BREATH*

Cheers from the crowd as the Prince Finn Balor makes his way out in his signature leather jacket with no shirt. There is no posing or smiling this week from Finn though as he marches down the ramp and climbs into the ring as he demands a microphone from a stagehand.

Byron Saxton: Have you seen Finn this angry before?

Corey Graves: Not since his time in NXT Byron. And usually when Finn is this cross we see his demons come out.

Finn now has a microphone as he walks around to the center of the ring.

Finn Balor: It looks like I got someone's attention.

Finn lets out a wry smile for a moment but it soon turns into a frown.

Finn Balor: Karrion Kross must think I'm an easy target and wants to make a name for himself at my expense.

Finn walks up and down shaking his head.

Finn Balor: But when you're a name this entire industry talks about, maybe it was only a matter of time before someone tried to use me to become famous.

Finn points towards the entrance ramp with a finger gun motion.

Finn Balor: But I know from experience when you live by the sword you die by the sword. If you try to take someone out to make a name for yourself, you better be prepared for the consequences.

Finn is still pointing his hand towards the entrance ramp.

Finn Balor: So Karrion Kross, why don't you come out here and fight me like a man?

Cheers from the crowd as Finn Balor drops the microphone, takes off his jacket and puts both hands together as he points towards the entrance ramp in a gun like motion. He stands there for a few seconds until...

*DEAD SILENT*

It's the music for Karrion Kross that hits but it's not him coming out. Instead, it is the harbinger of doom herself Scarlett Bordeaux who walks to the ring with a contract in one hand and microphone in the other. Finn doesn't look impressed and grabs his microphone off the mat.

Finn Balor: Where is Kross?

Scarlett climbs into the ring as she smirks and passes the contract to Finn.

Scarlett Bordeaux: Karrion is feeling merciful and instead of destroying you again, he wants me to pass on a message.

Scarlett passes Finn Balor the contract.

Finn Balor: What's this?

Scarlett lets out a devilish smile.

Scarlett Bordeaux: This is a contract for a match at Survivor Series.

Finn Balor flicks through it as Scarlett carries on.

Scarlett Bordeaux: See Karrion Kross, he wants to show you what a real demon looks like. What a real monster can do. He wants the demon at Survivor Series.

Cheers from the crowd excited to see the demon Finn Balor which hasn't appeared since Wrestlemania. Finn shakes his head whilst reading through the contract before placing it down for a moment.

Finn Balor: He can want the demon all he wants but he ain't getting it.

Some boos from the crowd which Finn does acknowledge by putting his hand up.

Finn Balor: I'm not bringing out the demon just because Kross wants to face it. My demons are not something I bring out unless I have no choice.

Cheers from the crowd as Scarlett lets out an evil smirk.

Finn Balor: What Karrion Kross is going to get at Survivor Series is the prince Finn Balor. I don't need the demon to put him in his place. Especially when he had to send you to fight his battles for him.

Cheers from the crowd as Scarlett Bordeaux is no longer smiling. Finn meanwhile picks up the contract and signs it making the match at Survivor Series official! He passes the contract back to Scarlett and goes to leave.

Scarlett Bordeaux: You're making a big mistake Finn.

Finn stops by the ropes and turns around to face Scarlett.

Scarlett Bordeaux: If you were to bring the demon to Survivor Series, you might have a chance at surviving. But if you don't, at Survivor Series time's up.

Finn smirks and shakes his head as he walks up the ramp showing no fear. However, as he walks backwards up the ramp the screens change and we see several hourglasses appear behind Finn. Balor turns around and sees his name on each one at the bottom as the sand begins to pour. He turns back to Scarlett in the ring who has a devilish smile as we hear her say Kross's famous words.

Scarlett Bordeaux: Tick tock tick tock.

Scarlett lets out an evil cackle as Finn looks annoyed with the slightest hint of fear.

Byron Saxton: I'm getting word from backstage that the match is official and at Survivor Series Karrion Kross will take on Finn Balor!

Corey Graves: I think Finn Balor is making a grave mistake here. Karrion Kross seems like an absolute monster.

Byron Saxton: We will soon see Corey but up next after the commercial break we will see The New Day in tag team action against Heavy Machinery. Don't go anywhere!

*SOUTHERN PROUD*

Loud boos from the crowd as the Smackdown tag team champions The Revival make their way out. Both men are dressed in nice shirts and jeans as they walk past the ring and join the commentary team at ringside.

Corey Graves: Scott, Dash welcome to the commentary desk. It feels great to finally have two experts in tag team wrestling join me. Maybe you can teach Byron a few things.

Scott Dawson: Thanks Corey but I don't think even we could manage it.

Byron Saxton: What brings you out here?

Dash Wilder: What brings us out here? What a dumb question. Why do you think we are out here?

Scott Dawson: We live and breathe tag team wrestling. Not only are we scouting our Survivor Series opponents but we are also looking at a team who we may face after Survivor Series.

Byron Saxton: Don't you think you might be looking past The New Day?

Dash Wilder: They've never beaten us so yes we are looking past them. They are a sign of an old broken era of tag team wrestling. We are bringing tag team wrestling back to where it was in the eighties and making people care about it once again.

*HEAVY*

Cheers from the crowd as the popular heavyweight tag team make their way to the ring. Otis and Tucker goof off for the crowd whilst The Revival shake their heads at the commentary desk.

Scott Dawson: These could be a real threat to the tag team division if they were not idiotic goofballs.

Corey Graves: Otis might be the dumbest man I've ever seen.

Byron Saxton: That's a bit harsh.

Corey Graves: You're right. I've met you.

Byron sticks his arms up whilst The Revival try not to laugh at Corey's dig at Byron.

Big E: Awwwwww Rochester, New York. Don't you dare be sour. Clap for your world-famous five-time champs and feel the power!

*NEW DAY, NEW WAY*

Loud cheers from the crowd as The New Day members Big E and Xavier Woods make their way out. They slap hands with a few of the fans and Big E starts giving out pancakes to a few of the fans as well.

Scott Dawson: See this is why we ain't sweating it at Survivor Series. These two men are more focused on their merchandise and having fun for the fans than defending their tag team titles!

Byron Saxton: The New Day have won the tag team titles five times including the longest tag team title reign in WWE history. Yes they may care about making sure the fans are having fun but when the bell rings, they are focused on getting the job done.

Dash Wilder: That's all well and good but we are all business. That means we are one hundred percent focused on keeping these belts. We don't care about these fans and we certainly don't care about anyone else!

Back in the ring, Xavier Woods steps into the ring for The New Day whilst Tucker steps into the ring for Heavy Machinery. The referee calls for the bell and this match is underway.

Match 2: New Day vs Heavy Machinery

Match summary: Woods and Tucker starts the match off with a handshake which annoys The Revival on commentary. Woods when in the ring uses his speed and agility to cause Heavy Machinery to struggle early on as he makes frequent tags with Big E. However, Otis takes down Woods with a massive EXPLODER SUPLEX! Otis and Tucker work over Woods in the corner of the ring as The Revival tells us to take note and even say they think Woods is the weak link of the team.

Woods though keeps himself in the match and looks to Big E eventually making it to the corner, getting the hot tag, and bringing BIG E back into the match! Big E runs through both members of Heavy Machinery and shows off his explosive strength as we get to the finish. He lifts OTIS UP AND HITS HIM WITH A POWERBOMB! Big E isn't done though and runs to Woods tagging him back in. Big E then runs and SPEARS TUCKER OFF THE RING APRON TO THE FLOOR OUTSIDE! Woods meanwhile walks along the ropes and hits Otis with LIMIT BREAK (Ropewalk elbow drop). Woods makes the cover and The New Day pick up the win!

Winners via pinfall: The New Day (9:44)

Cheers from the crowd as Big E rolls back into the ring and rubs his head selling the impact of flying through the ropes and landing on the floor but The New Day celebrate their victory.

Byron Saxton: Heavy Machinery provided a tough challenge for The New Day tonight but they were able to preserve and pick up the win!

Heavy Machinery both get to their feet and join the celebrating New Day in the ring. The two teams look at each other and they shake hands getting a pop from the live crowd.

Scott Dawson: See? This is what we mean. They are too focused on pleasing the fans and making them happy.

Dash Wilder: They don't have the killer edge needed to beat us for these tag team titles.

Heavy Machinery lifts the pair's hands into the air, carrying on the show of respect as The Revival watch on from the commentary desk unimpressed as we cut to a commercial break.

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

When we return from the commercial break, we cut to what looks like a fancy room. We can see a lot of different statues in the room and items of Sikh worship. The camera pans down to show JINDER MAHAL in a turban as he sits on the floor and is meditating. His right hand still noticeably has tape around it after Pete Dunne broke his fingers at Halloween Havoc. Once the camera finally pans down on his face Jinder opens his eyes and the calm serenity is gone.

Jinder Mahal: I have been able to cope for the last few years by finding serenity. However, these last couple of weeks I've been unable to find inner peace.

Jinder lifts his hand with the damaged fingers in front of the camera.

Jinder Mahal: Because of what Pete Dunne did to my fingers at Halloween Havoc. He took my fingers and snapped them, breaking them!

Jinder gets to his feet and all sense of calm has gone from the room.

Jinder Mahal: And how did I get rewarded? I was still medically cleared and told to wrestle by Triple H even though I was not one hundred percent!

Jinder shakes his head.

Jinder Mahal: But this isn't the first time he has promoted an unsafe work environment.

Remember that time where pretty much the entire roster walked out because it was unsafe minus 5 or 6 people?

Jinder Mahal: You don't care about the wrestlers. You only care about your own ego and seeing your protege Pete Dunne thrive.

Jinder once again scowls as he says Pete Dunne's name.

Jinder Mahal: I've spoken to Shane McMahon and he is someone who cares about his employees. He cares about his superstars and remembers I am a former WWE Champion.

Jinder gets to his feet and lets out a smug smile.

Jinder Mahal: So at Survivor Series, the modern-day maharaja will lead Team Shane to victory and remove the dictator Triple H from power!

Jinder Mahal smiles at the camera having made his intentions to join team Shane clear as we then cut back to the arena as Kayla Braxton is stood ready for an interview.

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

Kayla Braxton: Would you please welcome my guest at this time, Jeff Hardy!

Jeff Hardy walks onto the scene in casual attire.

Jeff Hardy: Thanks for having me, Kayla.

Kayla Braxton: Two weeks ago at Halloween Havoc you and your brother came up short in your attempts to gain revenge on The War Raiders. How are you and your brother feeling?

Jeff sighs.

Jeff Hardy: Me? I'm a little banged up and I'm not medically cleared till next week. However, I will be fine. My brother though?

Jeff looks down and sighs before turning to Kayla.

Jeff Hardy: He suffered numerous serious injuries and honestly? I don't know if he will ever be back. When you get to our age, any injury you suffer could be your last.

Kayla Braxton: Does this mean you'll be looking for revenge against the War Raiders?

Jeff shakes his head.

Jeff Hardy: Even though I'm willing to keep fighting The War Raiders, even by myself my brother has told me not to. He told me it is time for me to focus on my own career since he doesn't know if he will ever be able to come back. And I have one goal Kayla.

For the first time during the interview, Jeff Hardy lets out a smile.

Jeff Hardy: To become a World champion one more time.

Jeff lifts his finger into the air.

Jeff Hardy: And that starts next week when I step back into the ring against Aiden English!

???: You becoming World champion? This isn't twenty-ten!

The camera pans over to show Baron Corbin walks into the shot in his waiter like attire as he laughs at Jeff Hardy's plans.

Baron Corbin: If anything you should join your brother on the pasture as well.

Jeff looks angry but shakes his head.

Jeff Hardy: I know what you're trying to do Corbin. Trying to get a rise out of me. It ain't going to work. Plus I feel bad for you.

Corbin laughs.

Baron Corbin: You feel bad for me? Why would you feel bad for me?

Jeff Hardy: When was the last time you won a match? I mean I don't blame Shane for not wanting you on his team.

Jeff smiles and walks off leaving Corbin stood there gobsmacked as he doesn't know how to respond. He then grabs the microphone off Kayla and shouts to Jeff as he walks off.

Baron Corbin: Watch this then!

Corbin tosses the microphone to the floor in anger and storms to the ring.

Corey Graves: Baron Corbin is in action next! Don't go anywhere.

When we return from the commercial break, we can see No Way Jose stood in the ring having fun and dancing for the crowd. On the outside of the ring, we can see the conga line having fun with the fans at ringside.

*I BRING THE DARKNESS (END OF DAYS)*

Boos from the crowd as Baron Corbin does not look in a good mood as he walks to the ring. We see one of the conga line walk up to Corbin looking to cheer him up, so Corbin knocks him out with a punch getting loud boos from the crowd.

Byron Saxton: There was no need for that!

Corey Graves: Maybe Jeff Hardy shouldn't have annoyed him.

Byron Saxton: Jeff only told Corbin the truth. And hey sometimes the truth hurts.

Corey Graves: Well thanks to Jeff, No Way Jose is in for some hurt tonight!

Corbin steps into the ring still snarling as No Way Jose's smile soon fades as he realizes how pissed off Corbin is as the referee calls for the bell and the match is underway.

Match 3: Baron Corbin vs No Way Jose

Match summary: Baron Corbin batters No Way Jose during the encounter and in the end, hits him with DEEP SIX! Corbin makes the cover and picks up the easy win.

Winner via pinfall: Baron Corbin (1:13)

Corbin gets to his feet as he still looks furious even with the referee raising his arm in the air. The crowd carries on booing Corbin but he isn't done as he snatches his arm away from the referee and drags No Way Jose off the mat!

Byron Saxton: OK Corbin you've made your point!

Corbin then hits No Way Jose with the END OF DAYS! He plants No Way Jose with a ton of force before getting back to his feet and shouts at the crowd “Did you see that Jeff?”. Corbin then storms out of the ring and heads to the back. The conga line quickly moves out of his way before checking on No Way Jose in the ring as we cut backstage.

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

We cut backstage as Shane McMahon is in his office as we can see Charlotte Flair, Lacey Evans, Alexa Bliss, and Ember Moon all stood in the room. The two teams are glaring at each other as Shane looks to keep things calm.

Shane McMahon: Now I'm going to ask all four of you to keep calm and not fight in my office.

Ember Moon: No promises.

Lacey Evans: Just try it you nasty.

Charlotte and Alexa Bliss put an arm around their tag team partners respectively to stop things kicking off.

Shane McMahon: This battle between you four needs to end. And it will at Survivor Series. It will be Team Queens of WWE vs Team Blissmoon at Survivor Series in a traditional Survivor Series match.

Alexa Bliss: Fine by us, should be easy to find a bunch of people you two have Blissed off!

Charlotte shakes her head.

Charlotte: Anyone I've annoyed, is just angry they ain't on our level. At Survivor Series we prove why we are the Queens of WWE.

This once again leads to a staredown between the two tag teams as we cut to a commercial break.

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

When we return from the commercial break, we cut to Shelton Benjamin sat down on a chair staring at the camera.

Shelton Benjamin: Cedric you're such a hypocrite.

Shelton shakes his head and chuckles to himself.

Shelton Benjamin: You complained about me using the tights to cheat but then did the same thing to me.

Shelton smiles but it is clearly a fake smile.

Shelton Benjamin: Looks like to me kid, you can't handle losing. Y'know maybe I could teach a young talent like you a few things. Show you the ropes. But you need to show me some respect first.

Shelton gets to his feet.

Shelton Benjamin: I don't have a lot of time left. And I don't want to waste it on a naïve kid. Consider last week a message. If you try to get in my way again in the little time I have left, I'll take you out.

Shelton lets out a slightly crazy smile as we cut to the commentary team at ringside.

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

Byron Saxton: Strong words from Shelton Benjamin.

Corey Graves: He has a point Byron. He knows time is running out on his career and doesn't want to waste it dealing with Cedric Alexander. Cedric is too early in his career to understand where he is coming from.

Byron Saxton: I don't see Cedric leaving him alone however. This issue between him and Shelton Benjamin isn't over just yet.

*FABULOUS*

Carmella makes her way out next joined by R-Truth getting a decent reaction from the crowd. A few smarks in the crowd boo the Staten Island Princess due to her being the next person to challenge Asuka at Survivor Series.

Corey Graves: A lot of people are writing off Carmella but I think she has a chance at Survivor Series. She has beaten Asuka twice before.

Byron Saxton: You might be right there Corey. I don't think I've ever seen Asuka as angry as she was when she saw Carmella was facing her at Survivor Series. Maybe Asuka is worried she might lose to Carmella one more time.

Corey Graves: Well right now, we are going to see Carmella in action against one half of the Iiconics as she takes on Peyton Royce.

Carmella though looks like she is going to talk first as herself and R-Truth both have microphones in their hand as they look to speak to the live crowd.

Carmella: Last week, I earned myself the chance to go to Survivor Series and take on Asuka for the WWE Women's title!

Cheers from the crowd but a few boos which Carmella once again which she notices.

Carmella: The ones booing? I get that because last time I faced Asuka, I was a different more desperate person. I was desperate to stay champion and was willing to do whatever it took to keep that title, especially against someone like Asuka.

She looks a little sad as she acknowledges her previous bad behavior.

Carmella: Hell I even used someone to keep the title.

R-Truth: I didn't help you win a title.

Carmella laughs and turns to her friend.

Carmella: No, not you Truth. But thanks to you, I've learned how to be a better person. And that I need to beat Asuka the right way, to prove myself.

R-Truth smiles.

R-Truth: Thank you Carmella. But right now do you know what these fans need?

Both: A seven-second dance bre...

*FEMME FATALE*

Boos from the crowd as The Iiconics make their way out and stop the popular dance break from happening. Both Peyton and Billie have the microphones in their hands as Carmella and R-Truth both look annoyed.

Peyton Royce: Carmella I think you're forgetting someone...

Billie Kay: Someones Peyton.

Peyton turns to Billie.

Peyton Royce: You're so right Billie. Carmella, I think you're forgetting an iconic team who helped you win the title in the first place.

Billie Kay: You're...

R-Truth: Wait Carmella, the Legion of Doom helped you win the WWE Women's title?

All 3 women in the ring look very confused.

Peyton Royce: No it wasn't the Legion of Doom. It was...

R-Truth: The Hardy Boyz? I thought they were retired too.

Billie Kay: Are you kidding me? No, it wasn't them it was...

R-Truth: Oh I know. It was the Bella Twins. Did you know one of them was engaged to my hero John Cena?

Carmella at this point corpses whilst The Iiconics glare at R-Truth looking furious.

Peyton Royce: No you idiot. It was us.

R-Truth: Whose us? I've never heard of a team called us. They don't sound very iconic.

The Iiconics are lost for words at this point.

Billie Kay: Is there something wrong with you?

Billie Kay pokes R-Truth in the head and Carmella at this point is no longer in the mood for jokes as she grabs Billie's hand.

Carmella: You do not get to touch my friend.

However before she can do anything else Peyton Royce cheap shots her! We see a referee makes his way out as Peyton lays into Carmella. R-Truth looks to stop her but Billie Kay hits Truth with the microphone and sends him out of the ring with a cheap shot!

Byron Saxton: What a cheap shot by The Iiconics!

Corey Graves: Carmella didn't deserve that but R-Truth was disrespecting the Iiconics. Anyway, we are going to a commercial break but don't go anywhere as when we return it will be Peyton Royce versus Carmella in singles action!

Match 4: Carmella w/R-Truth vs Peyton Royce w/Billie Kay

Match summary: When we return from the short commercial break, Peyton is in control working over Carmella. Both Billie Kay and R-Truth are in their respective partner's corners as they cheer their friend on. Carmella though soon fight backs and takes control of the match. Other than a few moves, Carmella easily stays in control and wraps her legs around the neck of Peyton locking in the CODE OF SILENCE! Peyton tries to fight out of the hold but she soon taps out giving Carmella the win!

Winner via submission: Carmella (5:52)

Byron Saxton: Carmella is on a roll.

Corey Graves: When you're about to face the Empress, you need to be in the form of your life to stand a chance.

Carmella keeps the hold on for an extra few seconds after the match, getting a measure of payback for the cheap shot before the bell. However, she does let go as Peyton rolls to the outside as Billie Kay checks on her. In the ring, R-Truth joins Carmella as they have a little dance to celebrate the victory tonight giving the crowd their 7-second dance break as we cut elsewhere.

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

We cut backstage as Asuka can be seen watching the match on the TV as Cathy Kelly walks up to her looking for an interview.

Cathy Kelly: Asuka, what are your thoughts on what you just saw from your challenger at Survivor Series Carmella?

Asuka: She looks good but I'm great.

Cathy Kelly: Some would say she offers a threat you rarely face as she has beaten you before?

Asuka's smile soon fades and soon it is replaced by anger.

Asuka: Say that again.

Cathy looks a little nervous.

Cathy Kelly: Um... Carmella is a different challenge since she has beaten you before?

Asuka: Kanojo wa watashi o naguru tame ni damashimashita. Damasa reta. DAMASA RETA.

Cathy looks unsure what Asuka is saying as the champion composes herself.

Asuka: She will not be ready for Asuka.

Asuka walks off clearly angry as Cathy is a little scared by the anger expressed by the champion as we cut to a commercial break.

When we return from the commercial break, we cut to the Corporation's office as Shane McMahon is alone with Roman Reigns and Daniel Bryan. We can see on the wall a board with the 6 names so far on Team Shane: Roman Reigns, Daniel Bryan, Erick Rowan, Hanson, Rowe, and Jinder Mahal. There is one name missing though.

Shane McMahon: We need to decide who the seventh man will be.

Daniel Bryan: If only you weren't injured. You're the best in the world.

Boos from the crowd watching this in the arena as Bryan sucks up to Shane. Roman doesn't look impressed and moves his WWE title on his shoulder.

Shane McMahon: I know what I said earlier tonight but I think the seventh man should be Baron Corbin.

Neither Bryan nor Roman look like they agree with Shane.

Daniel Bryan: Listen Shane I know you have many many great ideas...

Roman Reigns: This idea sucks.

Both men look shocked by Roman's bluntness but the Big Dawg doesn't give a shit. He walks over to Daniel Bryan and whispers a name in his ear. Bryan lets out an evil smile.

Daniel Bryan: You sure we could trust him?

Roman Reigns: That's up to him to sort out. Do what it takes to get him on the team at Survivor Series. I've got other business to attend to.

Roman walks off and leaves the room as Daniel Bryan walks over to Shane and whispers the name to the co-commissioner. Shane smiles and nods as we cut elsewhere backstage.

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

We cut a room with heavy metal music playing and graffiti on all the walls. The camera then finds Ruby Riott sat down next to Sarah Logan.

Ruby Riott: Sarah, turn down the music. I have something to say.

Sarah smiles and nods doing what her leader says.

Ruby Riott: Thank you. See that's someone who knows how to listen to their friend. Something Liv could never manage.

Logan nods along as Ruby carries on.

Ruby Riott: You had to keep sticking your nose in our business after we ditched you. Why couldn't you just stay away?

Sarah Logan: We showed you mercy but that was a mistake!

Ruby Riott: Asuka didn't ask you to stop Sarah from being at ringside but you took it upon yourself to do the right thing.

Ruby puts on a fake happy voice as she said that.

Ruby Riott: Well you cost me the title, I cost you the opportunity to even fight for it.

Ruby smiles.

Ruby Riott: And let me make this clear for you Liv. If you come back and try to fight us again, we'll put you down for good this time. We showed mercy before because you were our friend. Next time you won't be so lucky.

Both members of the Riott Squad stare at the camera, ready to destroy Liv if she steps up to them again as we go to the final commercial break of the show before the main event of the show.

A massive pop from the hometown crowd as the challenger for the Intercontinental title tonight, Luke Harper makes his way to the ring. He does his usual eyes taunt for the crowd before slowly walking to the ring and stepping over the ropes ahead of a massive match tonight.

Byron Saxton: Pete Dunne won the Intercontinental title in his home country. Can he defend it in Luke Harper's home town?

Corey Graves: Pete Dunne won't have the crowd to feed off tonight. Hell if anything the entire crowd will be against him!

Loud boos as the current Intercontinental Champion Pete Dunne makes his way out and stands at the top of the entrance ramp. He grabs hold of his Intercontinental title and places it between his teeth as he poses, not giving a damn about the crowd booing him. He places the Intercontinental title belt over his shoulder and walks down the ramp snarling at the fans at ringside.

Byron Saxton: Will Pete Dunne care about the crowd reaction though Corey?

Corey Graves: He might not but such a hostile react... WAIT BYRON LOOK AT THE RING!

Corey Graves is right as Luke Harper runs off the ropes and wipes out Pete Dunne with a massive SUICIDE DIVE! Loud cheers from the crowd as Luke Harper can do nothing wrong tonight. The challenger grabs hold of Pete Dunne and sends him into the ring post head first before rolling him into the ring. Luke Harper slides back inside and tells the referee to call for the bell to get this underway. The ref seems unsure until Harper towers over him so he calls for the bell and this title match is underway!

Main event: Intercontinental title match: Pete Dunne (c) vs Luke Harper

Luke Harper isn't wasting time though as he lines Pete Dunne up ready for the DISCUSS CLOTHESLINE! Pete Dunne stumbles to his feet as Harper swings round but Pete Dunne ducks underneath his arm! Harper turns around and gets a BICYCLE KICK! Harper drops to the floor as Pete Dunne sits on the mat for a moment as he looks to recover from the pre-match assault before making his way over to Luke Harper.

He grabs hold of Luke Harper's arm and looks to start working over the fingers but Harper fights back hitting Pete Dunne with a couple of punches fending off Pete Dunne! Pete Dunne falls backwards as Harper gets back to his feet and hits him with a BIG BOOT! Harper gets down to his knees and makes the cover 1 Pete Dunne kicks out! Harper looks a little angry with how quickly Dunne kicked out but he realizes he is in for the long haul here.

Luke Harper picks up Pete Dunne before Biel tossing him into the corner of the ring back first! Luke Harper follows it up by charging and squashing Pete Dunne in the corner with a body avalanche! Harper follows it up by hitting Pete Dunne with several KNIFE EDGE CHOPS IN THE CORNER as the crowd count along with each chop. They get up to ten as the ref's count gets to 4 before Harper walks away.

Harper heads to the other corner and lines up Pete Dunne, as he charges back in hitting him with a CORNER BIG BOOT! Harper is all over the champion as he lifts him out of the corner and tosses him across the ring with an OVERHEAD BELLY TO BACK SUPLEX! Harper makes his way over to Pete Dunne and makes the cover 1 2 Dunne kicks out! Luke Harper looks to keep the pressure up as he grabs Pete Dunne and locks him in a front-facing headlock before performing the GATOR ROLL!

Once again Luke Harper gets decent cheers from the crowd. He finishes rolling over and gets Pete Dunne in a seated position as he starts full-on wrenching on Dunne's neck as he looks to wear down the champion. Pete Dunne struggles in the hold but he moves his neck down slightly and BITES LUKE HARPER'S ARM! Loud boos from the crowd as Luke Harper is forced to let go of the hold but Pete Dunne doesn't care as he rolls away from Harper and looks to get some breath back.

Luke Harper clutches his arm which he shakes looking to get past the pain as Pete Dunne runs at Luke Harper and jumps into the air connecting with a FOREARM SMASH! This rocks Harper and brings him to his knees. Dunne then runs off the ropes and drops him with a clothesline! Dunne makes the cover 1 Harper powers out! Dunne though doesn't seem too bothered and uses the kick out to grab hold of Harper's right arm and starts to work over it.

He bends the arm back and twists it as Harper looks for a punch to the head, trying to fight Dunne off but the Bruiserweight avoids it. He quickly follows it up with a ROUNDHOUSE KICK TO THE HEAD! Dunne then jumps into the air and STOMPS ON LUKE HARPER'S CHEST! Boos from the crowd as Dunne follows up with a cover 1 2 Harper kicks out! Dunne is getting booed by the crowd but he responds by snarling at the fans as he carries on working over the larger man.

The pain is clear on the big man's face but he repositions his body and gets his feet on the ropes forcing a break! Dunne though keeps the hold on for the full 5 count before finally letting go, which again gets boos from the home crowd. Dunne then runs off the ropes and catches Luke Harper with a BASEMENT DROPKICK as he leans on the ropes.

Harper falls through the ropes and to the floor from the impact of the dropkick as Pete Dunne looks at Luke Harper on the floor and climbs to the top rope. He waits for Luke Harper to get back to his feet as he sizes him up and hits him with a DIVING FOREARM SMASH! Some of the crowd cheer for the high impact move but a lot carry on their boos.

Winner via pinfall and NEW INTERCONTINENTAL CHAMPION: Luke Harper (21:23)

The crowd goes insane as soon as the referee's hand hits the mat for 3. Luke Harper takes a moment to rest on the mat, as the twenty-minute match clearly took a ton out of him. Pete Dunne lays next to him and moves his arm slightly, selling the impact of the numerous moves needed to put him away.

Corey Graves: Luke Harper is a three-time Intercontinental Champion!

Byron Saxton: What a performance from both men but I think the hometown advantage proved to be the difference in the end as Luke Harper put Pete Dunne away.

Luke Harper gets passed his Intercontinental title and there is a rare smile on the face of Luke Harper. He lifts the title into the air having got hold of his prized possession one more time. Pete Dunne now gets to his feet as he leans on the ropes as Harper celebrates with the live crowd as Pete Dunne gives him a nod and the show fades to black with Luke Harper celebrating his Intercontinental title win... Thank you, Brodie Lee. Thank you, Luke Harper. Thank you, Jon Huber. You will be missed.

Intercontinental title vacated:

So this is what I decided as the best tribute to him. I actually had planned to have him win the title back on this show ever since I came up with the Pete Dunne match in London (Dunne winning the title was a last-minute decision). Harper was going to be part of Team Shane originally instead of Jinder at Survivor Series and Harper would eventually in 2020 win Money in the Bank, becoming a world champion in this thread.

However, due to the real life passing of Brodie Lee, I feel the best step is to write him off after this show with his final image in this thread of him holding the Intercontinental title in Universe for the third time. The full match on this show is a tribute to one of my fav wrestlers and yeah I am breaking my realism rule here by writing off Luke this way but if I can break the rule for one person, it's him. The Intercontinental title will be vacant until after Survivor Series due to this and after Survivor Series a new champion will be crowned. How will be revealed post Survivor Series.
