Survivor Series:
November 24th:
Rosemont, Illinois
Main show:
Theme song:
After the initial PPV theme song finishes, we cut to the commentary team at ringside as we see Michael Cole and Corey Graves sat down at the commentary desk ready to welcome us to the show.
Michael Cole: It's Sunday night and you know what that means! Hello and welcome to Survivor Series from Rosemont, Illinois!
Corey Graves: We have an action-packed night in store. But Michael can I start the night off by saying how much I missed you? I'm already dreading having Byron back by my side again on Friday Night.
Boos from the crowd though a few smarks cheer as Shinsuke Nakamura walks out and noticeably he is wearing an Ungovenables T-Shirt. He poses for the crowd and smirks as he stands at the top of the entrance ramp.
Corey Graves: Now Michael, I know you are an expert on all things Monday Night Raw but I have an exclusive from my sources on the Raw roster. Shinsuke Nakamura has signed an exclusive deal with Zelina Vega and is now an official member of the Ungovenables.
Michael Cole: A massive addition to the Ungovenables brand and you have to wonder if that will give Shinsuke even more incentive to help team Ungovenables win tonight!
More boos from the crowd but a few cheers as Zelina Vega leads the way and she is followed by the rest of the stable as she joins the newest member of her group Shinsuke Nakamura on the entrance ramp. She is soon followed by the other 3 members of the Ungovenables competing in this match Cesaro, Ilja Dragunov, and Dominik Dijakovic. All 4 men stand together before walking together cutting an imposing figure as a unit.
Michael Cole: Zelina has been looking to take over Monday Night Raw and tonight could be another step closer to achieving that goal.
Corey Graves: I don't know if there is a force on Monday Night Raw that can stop this group.
And the loudest reaction of the lot as Samoa Joe makes his way out with the United States title over his shoulder. There is a lot of boos from the crowd but a good portion of the smarky crowd cheer for the champion. He walks to the ring and joins the Ungovenables in the ring. He stands near them but just to the side, leaning on the ropes smirking as he gets ready for this match.
Michael Cole: Samoa Joe has been United States Champion for two hundred and sixty-four days. He has been unstoppable and tonight he looks to help lead Team Ungovenables to victory.
Corey Graves: The only people who I think come close to Samoa Joe is Asuka and Roman Reigns on Smackdown. I do wonder if Zelina has made the right call promising Samoa Joe a Universal title shot if Team Ungovenables win tonight.
A decent pop but nothing special as the young Cruiserweight Humberto Carrillo makes his way out first. In the ring we see the heel taunting him as they dare him to come to the ring and fight them but Humberto stays on the entrance ramp waiting for the rest of his team.
Michael Cole: A big night for Humberto Carrillo.
Corey Graves: Twenty-four years of age with all the promise in the world. But tonight he steps into the ring with five of the best wrestlers in the world.
Another alright pop from the crowd as Dolph Ziggler makes his way out next. He smirks as he walks onto the entrance ramp and even does his signature wiggle for the crowd as he makes his way out. He slaps the back of Humberto Carrillo looking to pump him up.
Michael Cole: Dolph Ziggler is a two-time World champion but had been in a little bit of a rut until he won the North American title in NXT!
Yes, Ziggler is a two-time world champion. No, I don't know why that 20-minute reign counts but it does.
Corey Graves: Ziggler is a crafty veteran and remember what he did at Survivor Series four years ago against the Authority. Ziggler knows how to survive.
Rewatched that match the other day. Still holds up.
A much better reaction though as Rusev makes his way out and he is joined by his wife Lana. She gives him a kiss whilst the crowd chant “RUSEV DAY” in the background. After a good five seconds, Rusev looks at the camera and starts chanting “RUSEV DAY” getting the crowd excited. Ziggler looks to join in with the Rusev Day chants but Rusev stares at him, so Ziggler wisely stops joining in.
Michael Cole: We talked about how dominant Samoa Joe has been as United States Champion but he came this close to ending Joe's title reign. And he might have done so without Vega attacking his wife Lana backstage.
Corey Graves: You say that but tonight Rusev has the chance to pin Samoa Joe and earn another United States title shot on Rusev day!
Michael Cole: And speaking of people who have their eyes on the United States title, it's Chad Gable!
A loud pop as Chad Gable makes his way out and he is joined by his manager/mentor Kurt Angle! The crowd welcomes Kurt Angle in typical fashion showering him with “YOU SUCK” chants. Both men take it in their stride though Rusev can't help shouting to Kurt “You know that's an insult right?”
Corey Graves: Chad can talk about wanting a rematch with Samoa Joe but Joe has already beaten him and Rusev. If either man wants a shot at the United States title, they will have to pin Samoa Joe!
All 4 men in this match stand about halfway down the ramp as they look at their ring, with the managers stood to the side as we wait for the team captain...
And the loudest pop of the 5 men as the lights dim down ahead of Aleister Black's arrival. He slowly rises up before standing upright at the top of the entrance ramp. He then looks at the ring and slowly walks down the ramp as he leads his troops into battle!
Michael Cole: Aleister Black challenged Zelina Vega to this match after her jibes following his loss to Brock Lesnar. Tonight we see if Black can recruit a better team than Vega.
Corey Graves: Zelina's managerial skills are almost unmatched. Black has assembled a great team but I can't see them beating The Ungovenables and Samoa Joe tonight. Joe and The Ungovenables under Zelina have been near unstoppable.
All 10 men are now stood in the ring as the teams talk about who is going to start for each team. Team Ungovenables talk with each other as Joe ignores them and climbs onto the ring apron. They end up settling on Cesaro starting for them whilst on Team Black after a brief discussion Humberto Carrillo starts for his team! The referee calls for the bell and the match is underway!

Joe kicks out at 3.01 but it's too late as Team Ungovenables and Vega are in shock as Gable has evened the score! Gable gets to his feet smiling as Samoa Joe stands there in shock. It takes a moment to sink in as he gets to his feet and he ATTACKS CHAD GABLE BATTERING HIM WITH SEVERAL PUNCHES! Loud boos from the crowd as the referee tells him to get off Gable but Joe doesn't relent. Black steps into the ring trying to bring this to a stop as he pulls off Joe!
Joe thinks about attacking Black but the referee tells him to leave or he will disqualify the rest of Team Ungovenables. Joe shakes his head and leaves the ring with Black eyeballing him as he leaves but gets dragged under the ropes by Shinsuke who IRISH WHIPS HIM INTO THE STEEL STEPS AND FOLLOWS UP WITH A KINSHASA TO THE HEAD ONTO THE STEEL STEPS! Loud boos from the crowd as Shinsuke slides into the ring as Gable starts to recover. Shinsuke though is limping as he gets into the ring.

Black kicks out!
Cesaro, Nakamura, and Zelina all look stunned that Black was able to kick out! Cesaro though doesn't waste any time and makes his way over to Shinsuke Nakamura tagging him back into the match. Cesaro goes to grab the leg of Black looking for the CESARO SWING again but Black kicks him off sending him into the ropes. Shinsuke though charges in and gets a BIG BOOT TO THE HEAD CUTTING HIM OFF!
Cesaro gets back to his feet but Black connects with a SUPERKICK SENDING HIM OUT OF THE RING! Black then turns back around and jumps into the air hitting a DOUBLE FOOT STOMP TO THE RIGHT LEG OF NAKAMURA! Shinsuke screams in pain as Black is still a bit shaken after the Kinshasa into the steel steps but grabs hold of the damaged right leg of Shinsuke and locks in a KNEEBAR! Black starts wrenching in the hold inflicting a ton of pain to the leg already damaged by Chad Gable... AND NAKAMURA TAPS OUT!
Eliminated via submission by Aleister Black: Shinsuke Nakamura (27:51)
Black gets back to his feet as he looks at Zelina and then back to Cesaro who makes his way into the ring as this match comes down to these two men! Both men are struggling after the damage they have taken throughout this match. They look at each other as Cesaro fires off an uppercut! Black stumbles backwards before coming back with a forearm smash.

Cesaro looks stunned that wasn't enough and looks at the referee but the ref makes it clear it was a 2! Zelina Vega on the outside meanwhile tells Cesaro to end this. Cesaro grabs hold of Aleister Black and looks to lift him onto his shoulders but Black transitions into the ANTI-CROSS (Modified Octopus Hold)!

Black holds on till the count of 3 but let's go as he backs away from Cesaro.
Cesaro struggles to his feet as Black charges in and starts laying into Cesaro with several strikes before hitting him with a VERTICAL SUPLEX!

“Tell Andrade this is what awaits him!”
ANOTHER BLACK MASS TO CESARO!

Eliminated via pinfall by Aleister Black: Cesaro (30:09)
Winners: Team Black (30:09)
Sole survivor: Aleister Black
Michael Cole: Aleister Black does it! Aleister Black has lead his team to victory tonight!
Corey Graves: I'm in shock. Not only did Chad Gable pin Samoa Joe but Aleister Black eliminated three men on his way to victory tonight and beat Zelina at her own game. He picked the team needed to get the job done.
Michael Cole: That's right Corey and you heard it yourself. He has Andrade and the Universal title in his sights!
Loud cheers from the crowd as Aleister Black poses in the ring. He takes a moment to poses for the crowd before taking a seat cross-legged in the ring as he stares at Zelina Vega on the outside. She's checking on Cesaro on the outside as she shakes her head and tells Black he won't get to Andrade. We see Black though remains calm and stoic as we cut backstage to see Renee Young ready for an interview.
-------------------------------------------------
Renee Young: Would you please welcome my guest at this time, Bobby Lashley!
A massive mixed reaction for Bobby Lashley as he enters the shot and cuts an imposing figure. He is also joined by Lio Rush who is wearing flashy shades and gold chains.
Renee Young: Bobby, tonight you have arguably the biggest match of your career as you face Brock Lesnar in what some people are calling a dream match...
Lio Rush: Some people, some people? Renee everyone should be calling it a dream match because that's what it is.
Bobby remains stoic as Lio carries on spouting off.
Lio Rush: Bobby Lashley and Brock Lesnar. Two of the best mixed martial arts competitors of all time and two of the toughest wrestlers of all time! But there will be only one winner of this dream match. The all-mighty, walking Armageddon himself, Bobby Lashley!
Renee Young: Well thanks Lio but I was going to ask Bobby how he was feeling ahead of the match?
Lio Rush: The main man is feeling pumped. He knows what is going to happened to Brock Lesnar and tonight he will leave no doubt on who the better man is. C'mon Bobby.
Bobby takes a moment to look at Lio and Renee and walks off as we cut back to the commentary team at ringside.
-------------------------------------------------
Michael Cole: Do you think Bobby Lashley has what it takes to beat Brock Lesnar?
Corey Graves: If anyone is strong enough to beat Brock Lesnar when it comes to strength, it is Bobby Lashley. A win tonight would be the biggest of his career and surely would put him next in line for a Universal title shot.
A decent pop from the crowd as Carmella moonwalks out to the top of the entrance ramp. There are a few of the smarky fans who are booing though as they do not want to see Carmella become champion one more time beating Asuka.
Michael Cole: Carmella looks to become WWE Women's champion for a second time but she has to go through Asuka to do it.
Corey Graves: She did it once and I think she can do it again. Even without R-Truth, she still knows how to win.
Michael Cole: And she has been on a roll lately.
A massive pop from the crowd as Asuka makes her way out in her usual attire. She takes the mask off and lets out a massive smile as she walks down the ring. Inside the ring meanwhile, Carmella lets out a slight gulp as she waits for Asuka to enter the ring.
Corey Graves: Ever since Summerslam, Asuka has held onto that title and defeated all challengers. No one has been ready for Asuka.
Michael Cole: But she is beatable. Like we said just now, Carmella is one of the few WWE superstars to have defeated Asuka.
Asuka climbs into the ring and takes off her entrance attire. She looks at Carmella and smiles whilst Carmella looks a little nervous as she jumps up and down looking to psyche herself up. Once the usual title introductions are done Asuka sticks out her hand and offers her a handshake. Carmella looks weary but Asuka says she wants Carmella to agree to a fair match. Carmella leans in and accepts the handshake... as ASUKA CHEAP SHOTS HER! A mixed reaction from the crowd as Carmella falls to the mat! Asuka then looks at the referee and tells him to ring the bell!
WWE Women's title match: Asuka (c) vs Carmella
Asuka looks at Carmella and shouts at her “You won't cheat me again”! Asuka jumps onto Carmella and batters her with several punches to the head. She wails on Carmella to the point the referee has to warn her and says he will disqualify her! Asuka shakes her head and licks her lips as Carmella struggles to her feet so Asuka runs off the ropes hitting her with the RUNNING HIP ATTACK! Carmella falls to the mat as Asuka smiles and she just starts battering Carmella with several kicks to the chest and head! She gets about 10 kicks off as Carmella struggles to fight back and ASUKA FINISHES IT OFF WITH A KICK TO THE HEAD! Asuka makes the cover

Carmella just about kicks out!
Asuka looks at Carmella and shakes her head as she looks angry Carmella dared to kick out and starts firing off another round of kicks! Carmella is taking a battering here as Asuka lays in the punches to the head but Carmella out of nowhere counters with a ROLL-UP!

Asuka kicks out!
Asuka looks angry as she glares at Carmella who charges at Asuka and catches her by surprise with a SIT-OUT FACEBUSTER! Carmella though knows she won't keep Asuka down and instead waits for her to get back to her feet and hits her with a PRINCESS KICK dropping her! Carmella makes the cover

Asuka kicks out!
Carmella shakes her head as she knows she needs more to put away Asuka and looks to go for the CODE OF SILENCE! Asuka though fights back with several chops and fights out of the hold before hitting Carmella with a LEG-HOOK GERMAN SUPLEX! Asuka isn't done though as she charges in hitting Carmella with several knee strikes to the head as she just batters poor Carmella! Asuka finally relents as Carmella falls to the mat holding her jaw. The camera zooms in on the Empress's face and she looks furious!
Carmella though defiantly gets back to her feet so Asuka hits her with the SPIN KICK! Carmella drops to the mat like a sack of spuds. Asuka just glares at Carmella and instead of going for the cover she grabs Carmella's face and slaps her! Carmella though is clearly out of it as Asuka grabs hold of her neck and locks her in the ASUKA LOCK! Asuka wrenches back on the hold and the referee checks on Carmella who is clearly out cold so the referee calls for the bell!
Winner via referee stoppage and still WWE Women's Champion: Asuka (2:09)
Boos from the crowd as the announcement is made that Asuka wins via referee stoppage but Asuka isn't relenting AS SHE KEEPS THE ASUKA LOCK LOCKED IN! She is wrenching on the hold as the referee asks her to stop but Asuka is refusing to let go and is looking to really hurt Carmella.
Michael Cole: What has got into Asuka?
Corey Graves: You heard what she said a few weeks ago. She still remembers what Carmella did to her. She remembers Carmella cheated not once but twice to beat her. Asuka clearly held a grudge.
Michael Cole: And that explains why she didn't want R-Truth here. She knew Truth would try to stop her from doing this to Carmella.
Corey Graves: Asuka knew what she was doing tonight.
Asuka is now getting booed by all the fans as the referee tries to pull her off but it is no use. She is just yanking on Carmella as we see BLOOD COMING FROM CARMELLA'S MOUTH! Asuka though refuses to relent as...
Liv Morgan runs out with a kendo stick in hand! She slides into the ring as Asuka sees Liv Morgan coming and finally lets go of the hold as she rolls out of the ring! Liv Morgan though just looks confused and asks Asuka why she did that? Asuka though just shouts back “Revenge Revenge Revenge” as she heads back up the ramp, grabbing her WWE Women's title on the way. She is noticeably clutching her WWE Women's title tightly as back in the ring Liv Morgan shakes her head and checks on her friend Carmella as a series of referees make their way into the ring to check on Carmella.
Michael Cole: Well thank god for Liv Morgan. If she wasn't competing later tonight as part of team Blissmoon who knows what could have happened to Carmella.
Corey Graves: I mean part of me blames Carmella for what just happened.
Michael Cole: What did Carmella do to deserve that?
Corey Graves: You heard Asuka. She remembered what happened the last time they met. And clearly, she has held a grudge since then.
Michael Cole: Carmella said sorry for her actions on Smackdown.
Corey Graves: Sometimes sorry isn't good enough Michael.
Michael Cole: Well whilst our medical team checks on Carmella, we are about to see a dream match as Brock Lesnar takes on Bobby Lashley. Let's see how we got to this point!
-------------------------------------------------
Video package for Bobby Lashley and Brock Lesnar
-------------------------------------------------
The video package comes to an end and we hear the entrance music for the All-Mighty Bobby Lashley as he makes his way to the ring, followed by his hype-man Lio Rush! Bobby Lashley cuts an imposing figure as he walks out and glares at the crowd. Lio Rush carries on praising his main man as they walk towards the ring but Lashley remains focused as he marches towards the ring.
Michael Cole: Dream match is a term thrown around by a lot of people for matches but ever since Bobby Lashley returned to the WWE, fans have wanted to see these two men go head to head.
Corey Graves: Lio Rush may talk a lot but he is right. Bobby Lashley actually has a better record in mixed martial arts competition than Brock Lesnar. And not many men can say that, let alone WWE superstars.
Michael Cole: But is Paul Heyman right? Does Bobby Lashley need better council?
A massive mixed reaction from the crowd as Brock Lesnar makes his way out next and of course, he is joined by the smug as always Paul Heyman. Brock jumps up and down on the entrance ramp as his pyro goes off before heading to the ring. Bobby Lashley in the ring is staring Brock in the eyes as he walks to the ring whilst Lio hypes his main man up.
Corey Graves: I don't know Michael. Since Lio Rush started to help Bobby Lashley he has become a two-time Intercontinental Champion and pushed Seth Rollins to the limit for the Universal title.
Michael Cole: But can Lashley defeat the Beast Brock Lesnar?
Corey Graves: Not many have been able to beat Brock Lesnar since his return to the WWE. A win over Brock Lesnar in my mind would make Bobby Lashley the next number one contender for the Universal title!
Michael Cole: It would be hard to argue with that.
Brock steps into the ring as Bobby Lashley steps forward straight away as the two massive men go nose to nose with each other! Neither man wants to back down as the two managers try to get their man to back off but neither man wants to give any ground up. In the end, Lio pulls Lashley away from Brock which gets a look from Lashley whilst Brock chuckles. Both men end up heading to their individual corners as the referee calls for the bell and this match is underway!
Bobby Lashley w/Lio Rush vs Brock Lesnar w/Paul Heyman
Once the bell rings both men circle the ring as they stare each other down, neither man wanting to make an error early on and give the other man an edge. Both men circle before meeting in the center of the ring as they do a test of strength as both men vie for control. It is evenly matched until Bobby Lashley takes control and looks to go for a FULL NELSON! Brock though powers out of the hold breaking free of the grip Bobby Lashley has on him and clobbers him with an elbow!
Brock Lesnar then grabs hold of Bobby Lashley as he hits him with a GERMAN SUPLEX! The crowd starts up a “Suplex City” chant but Bobby Lashley NO-SELLS THE SUPLEX as Brock turns around laughing! But he ain't laughing for long as Lashley charges at him and hits him with a massive shoulder block sending him into the corner! Lashley follows it up with several shoulder blocks right into Brock's stomach as the commentary team reminds us Brock had to leave UFC due to diverticulitis!
Lashley follows it up as he grabs hold of Brock and tosses him across the ring with a massive belly-to-back suplex! Brock stumbles back to his feet but Lashley comes charging out of the corner wiping him out with a massive clothesline! Lashley makes the first cover of the match 1 Brock powers out with ease! Bobby though responds by jumping on Brock and he starts laying into Brock with several rights and lefts, pounding on the Beast!
Lio is cheering him on and shouting loudly from the outside. However, Brock rocks Lashley with a punch to the head stunning him and Brock follows it up by jumping on Lashley himself and hits him with several forearm smashes to the head! Brock is battering Lashley as Heyman just smirks as he looks at Lio Rush on the outside. Brock is pounding on Lashley before getting back to his feet as he yanks Bobby off the mat and plants him with an OVERHEAD BELLY TO BELLY SUPLEX!
Brock Lesnar shows off his insane power! He looks fired up as Lashley lands on his stomach and tries to get back to his feet, so Brock charges in and clobbers him with a JUMPING KNEE STRIKE! A brutal knee to the head and Lio understandably looks worried as Brock grabs Lashley and yanks him off the mat as he hits him with a GERMAN SUPLEX! Suplex city is back open as Brock grabs him again and hits him with ANOTHER ONE! Brock isn't done though as he hits him with a THIRD AND FOURTH GERMAN SUPLEX!
The suplex city chants are in full effect as Brock has taken control of the match! Bobby Lashley is struggling on the mat and maybe this dream match is starting to turn into a nightmare. He stands by the ring ropes and uses them to get back to his feet, struggling due to the damage by Brock in the early stages of this match! Brock though isn't willing to let Bobby rest as he charges at him and sends him over the top rope with a CLOTHESLINE!
Bobby falls to the floor as Brock smirks and follows him to the outside! Bobby looks to get some breathing room but Brock follows after him as he lays into Lashley with a couple of clubbing blows before IRISH WHIPPING HIM INTO THE BARRICADE WALL! Brock Lesnar smirks as he walks towards Bobby Lashley as LIO RUSH GETS IN HIS WAY! Brock smirks at first and tells him to move but Lio shakes his head and stays in front of Brock aggravating the Beast. So Brock responds by PUNCHING LIO RUSH!
Brock isn't done there though as he scoops Lio Rush up onto his shoulders for an F5 AS BOBBY LASHLEY SPEARS BROCK LESNAR! Brock falls to the floor and drops Lio at the same time as the hype man lands with a hard thud. Bobby though does give a damn about Lio as he grabs Brock and sends him into the ring post! Bobby isn't done though as he grabs Brock's head and slams it into the ring post several times! Bobby then grabs the stunned Brock and rolls him into the ring as Brock is clutching his mid-section!
Bobby slides back in and grabs Brock Lesnar from behind as he lifts him up off the mat and locks him in an ABDOMINAL STRETCH! Bobby works over the mid-section of Brock who is in pain as commentary once again hypes up the issues Brock has had health-wise with his stomach. Heyman on the outside meanwhile looks concerned for his client. Brock is in a ton of pain but looks like he is about to fight out of the hold so Bobby transitions and lifts Brock into the air before bringing him down onto his knee for a GUTBUSTER!
Bobby follows up with a cover pressing his arm down on Brock's stomach! 1 2 Brock kicks out Bobby though has taken control of this match though as he grabs hold of Brock Lesnar and lifts him off the mat hitting him a POWERBOMB! Bobby Lashley though holds onto Brock Lesnar and turns it into a BOSTON CRAB once again putting more pressure on the mid-section of Brock Lesnar!
Brock is in a ton of pain due to the hold as Lashley yanks it back looking for a tap but Brock isn't planning on tapping that easily! He pushes off the mat as he breaks out of the hold getting off the mat and sends Lashley into the ropes! Brock struggles to his feet, still clutching his stomach so Brock goes for the kill as he yanks Bobby Lasley onto his shoulders and hits him with the F5! Brock takes a moment to clutch his stomach before rolling onto Bobby Lashley as he makes the cover

Bobby kicks out!
Brock looks surprised Bobby was able to kick out of the F5 but Brock has no problem with going for another one! He yanks Bobby Lashley off the mat again and lifts him up for a SECOND F5! Bobby Lashley though escapes as he hits him with a couple of elbows and slips behind Brock planting him with an OVERHEAD GERMAN SUPLEX! Brock flies across the ring as Bobby Lashley looks angry and glares at the rising Brock as he charges in hitting him with a SPEAR! Right into the injured mid-section of Brock Lesnar. Bobby makes the cover

Brock kicks out!
Bobby Lashley punches the mat in frustration and looks annoyed that Brock kicked out after the spear. Brock is still down and clutches his stomach as Bobby lifts Brock off the mat and this time locks him in a FULL NELSON wrenching on the mid-section of Brock causing the Beast a ton of pain. Brock winces in pain as Bobby has the hold in tight but Brock refuses to tap and instead responds by pushing Bobby backward into the turnbuckles multiple times until he is forced to break the hold!
Brock falls out of the corner selling the damage done to him from the hold as he once again clutches his stomach. Lashley shakes off the damage done to him and starts to climb to the top rope! He slowly perches himself on the top rope as he waits for Brock to get back to his feet. Brock slowly staggers back to his feet still clutching his stomach as he turns around into a DIVING SPEAR FROM LASHLEY! Lashley once again wipes out Brock Lesnar and makes the cover

Brock kicks out
Bobby Lashley look stunned that wasn't enough to pick up the win. He almost looks like he is about to snap as he shakes his head and yanks Brock Lesnar off the mat getting him in position for the RUNNING POWERSLAM... BROCK SLIPS OUT OF IT AND HITS A GERMAN SUPLEX! Bobby flies across the ring as Brock takes a moment to clutch his stomach but as he sees Bobby getting back up Brock leaps onto him hitting him with a DOUBLE LEG TAKEDOWN!
Brock follows it up with several massive forearms as Brock looks to do whatever it takes to stop Lashley but Bobby Lashley starts trying to fire back with punches of his own! This however backfires as Brock Lesnar counters locking Lashley in the KIMURA LOCK! Brock gets the lethal submission hold locked in tight as he wrenches back on Bobby's arm and to make it even worse Bobby is trapped in the center of the ring!
Bobby tries to get to his feet to get out of the hold but Brock pulls him down to the mat with all of his weight and keeps him there as he twists the arm and looks like he might be about to break it. On the outside we see Lio Rush run over as he can see the pain the main man is in. Lashley tries to get up again but can't move as Brock keeps all of his weight down on the arm of Bobby Lashley. Lashley is trapped in the hold and can't escape but he refuses to tap. Lio looks at Lashley and can see the pain in his eyes as he realizes his main man can't escape the hold nor will he tap out without his arm breaking in half...
SO LIO RUSH PULLS A TOWEL OUT FROM HIS POCKET AND THROWS IT IN ON LASHLEY'S BEHALF!
Winner via submission: Brock Lesnar (9:09)
Boos ring out from the crowd as Brock Lesnar lets go of the hold and gets to his feet as he stands victorious in the ring. Lashley grabs his right arm and looks confused until he sees the towel in the ring and Lio Rush bent down on the outside shaking his head on the verge of tears.
Michael Cole: Brock Lesnar picks up the win but Bobby Lashley pushed him to the limit tonight!
Corey Graves: Bobby Lashley matched Brock when it came to strength and dominated a lot of the match. If Brock didn't catch him in that kimura, Bobby Lashley probably wins tonight.
Michael Cole: And maybe he would have found a way out if Lio didn't throw in the towel.
Corey Graves: I don't agree Michael. Lio was looking out for Bobby Lashley. He knows how deadly the Kimura is and we've seen Brock break the arms of superstars before. Lio looked Bobby in the eyes and knew he couldn't escape.
Brock Lesnar has now headed up the ramp as Paul Heyman can be heard gloating at the top of the ramp. Back in the ring, Lashley gets to his feet as Lio Rush slides into the ring as he looks to check on Bobby. Bobby is still clutching his arm as Lio walks over to him but Bobby pushes him over! Lio looks upset as Bobby asks him what he is doing?
Lio puts his hands up defensively and says he was protecting Bobby. Lashley though picks up by the shirt with his non-injured arm and holds Lio Rush in the air as poor Lio looks terrified. Bobby thinks about attacking Lio but just drops him and walks off shaking his head. Poor Lio is left in the ring upset as he tries to follow him to the back begging his main man for forgiveness as we cut to the backstage area.
-------------------------------------------------
We cut to a locker room backstage as we can see Bayley. She looks a little nervous as she is sat down backstage ahead of her last woman standing match later on tonight. We hear the door open as Bayley turns around ready for a fight but we see THE MAN BECKY LYNCH walk in.
Becky Lynch: How you doing champ?
Bayley shakes her head and smiles.
Bayley: Is this where you lecture me about being right all along?
Becky shakes her head and sits next to Bayley.
Becky Lynch: Honestly? Part of me would love to chew you out and I kind of wish I spoke to you sooner but I get it. I used to be just like you Bayley.
Bayley gives her a weird look but Becky carries on.
Becky Lynch: The Man used to be just like you. I used to see the good in everyone. I used to trust the wrong people like Charlotte and Natalya. Hell, there was a time in NXT where I trusted the Boss.
Bayley: Hey the four horsewomen have got to stick together.
Both share a chuckle at that line.
Becky Lynch: But one day, I realized that I couldn't trust people like Sasha Banks or Charlotte anymore. I needed to step out on my own and I've not looked back since.
Bayley: Even if that meant fighting Shayna and her goons by yourself? If you asked me...
Becky Lynch: That's your weakness, Bayley. You're too kind. You're too loyal. You had your own business to take care of. And the most important business of all, becoming the champ.
Bayley smiles as Becky gets to her feet.
Becky Lynch: Promise me three things tonight Bayley. Show me that fight I know you have in you. Make sure no matter what happens, you focus on your title match tonight and most importantly of all,
Becky smirks.
Becky Lynch: Get ready to step in the ring with the Man one more time after you beat Sasha Banks.
Bayley gets to her feet as well.
Bayley: I look forward to it.
Bayley goes for a hug but Becky is too cool for that and instead gives Bayley a nod. Bayley hugs back as we cut back to the ring ahead of the next match.
-------------------------------------------------
We return to the ring as the crowd are welcoming the Twisted Sisters as they walk to the ring as we get ready for the second traditional Survivor Series match of the main show. Isla Dawn takes her time walking to the ring whilst Nikki sprints to the ring in her typical crazy fashion.
Michael Cole: Well we just heard the Man giving Bayley a pep talk ahead of her match with Sasha Banks later on tonight.
Corey Graves: Becky was being too nice with Bayley. Everyone with half a brain like myself saw Sasha betraying her best friend Bayley coming.
Michael Cole: Did you just say you had half a brain?
A pretty decent reaction from the crowd as Liv Morgan makes her way out for the second time tonight after saving Carmella from a further beating. She skips down to the ring though she looks a tad nervous as she steps into the ring with the Twisted Sisters.
Corey Graves: I have an important medical update about Carmella. Earlier tonight we saw Carmella bleeding from the mouth and it seems she suffered some internal injuries in Asuka's heinous assault earlier tonight.
Michael Cole: Well, she has been taken to a local medical facility where they will check on her and we will provide updates on social media once we have them.
A loud reaction from the fans as Alexa Bliss makes her way out and the goddess walks to the ring with a determined look on her face. She poses for the fans before joining her tag team partners tonight in the ring.
Michael Cole: Alexa Bliss and Ember Moon have been in a rivalry with Charlotte Flair from before Summerslam.
Corey Graves: I love the goddess. Hell, I worship the goddess but going against the Queens of WWE is a rare error in judgment.
The last member of team Blissmoon to make their way out, as Ember Moon makes her way out to her usual entrance getting a slightly smaller pop than Alexa Bliss. She has her usual red contacts in her eyes as she looks fired up. She heads to the ring and jumps inside as Bliss smiles standing next to her best friend.
Michael Cole: Ember Moon hasn't hit the heights of her run in NXT but she is starting to find her groove ever since forming an alliance with Alexa Bliss.
Corey Graves: Being around a multi-time Women's champion like Alexa Bliss will do wonders for anyone's career!
Michael Cole: And we know that Ember Moon is one of the few people to push Asuka to the limit.
Corey Graves: But she never quite picked up the win Michael.
And now their opponents start to make their way out, as The Riott Squad Ruby Riott and Sarah Logan make their way out getting boos from the crowd. Both women have a smug look on their faces as they look at their opponents in the ring, with their eyes focusing on Liv Morgan. Both chuckle to themselves as Liv looks angry at being mocked by the pair.
Michael Cole: The Riott Squad in recent times have gone from a trio to a duo when they kicked out Liv Morgan.
Corey Graves: Or as they would put it, cutting the dead weight.
Michael Cole: Well tonight Liv Morgan gets a chance to prove them wrong.
Corey Graves: Or we might be about to see The Riott Squad run riott!
A bit of a subdued reaction from the crowd as most are unfamiliar with KAY LEE RAY. Shemakes her way down the entrance ramp and lifts the NXT UK Women's title in the air. She has a smug look on her face as she joins her teammates The Riott Squad at the bottom of the ramp.
Michael Cole: Now Corey, you're our resident expert on NXT. What do you know about Kay Lee Ray?
Corey Graves: Well as you can see Kay Lee Ray is the NXT UK Women's champion when she defeated Toni Storm at Takeover Cardiff. She has held onto that title for eighty-five days and she is one of the best women's wrestlers in the world period. She is an amazing get for team Charlotte.
Michael Cole: The Queen certainly has an eye for talent.
Corey Graves: That she does Michael.
And last but certainly not least Lacey Evans and the captain of the team Charlotte Flair make their way out in matching attire. Both women have a smug smirk on their faces as they get the most boos out of any of the women so far tonight. They meet the rest of the team halfway down the entrance ramp and lead them to the ring.
Michael Cole: Well we know that Charlotte can't compete for the WWE Women's title whilst Asuka holds it but a win for her team tonight might put Lacey Evans back in line for a title shot.
Corey Graves: And that's why this partnership works for both women. Not only does it give Charlotte the chance to go for the Women's tag team titles but it also means if Lacey beats Asuka, The Queen will get the first shot.
All 10 women are now on the ring apron as Nikki Cross signals to her team she wants to start and she steps into the ring. Charlotte looks at her team and Sarah Logan steps into the ring for the team. The referee calls for the bell and this is underway!
Team Charlotte (Charlotte, Lacey Evans, Ruby Riott, Sarah Logan and Kay Lee Ray) vs Team Bliss (Alexa Bliss, Ember Moon, Liv Morgan, Nikki Cross and Isla Dawn)
Once the bell rings, Nikki and Sarah charge at each other as the two crazy women wail on each other. It is a crazy brawl as Nikki Cross wins out the early exchange as she Irish whips Logan into the corner as she charges in hitting Sarah with a clothesline before tagging Isla Dawn in. Isla follows up with a variety of kicks as she shows off her kickboxing background before hitting Logan with an EXPLODER SUPLEX! Isla makes the cover 1 2 Logan kicks out!
Isla carries on the attack focusing on Sarah Logan once again going for several kicks before Irish whipping her into the corner again as she tags back in her partner Nikki Cross.

Video package for next match
-------------------------------------------------
After the video package ends, we return to the ring and we can see it is empty after the medical officials were able to get Becky backstage and potentially to a hospital. However, around the ringside area, we see smoke start to fill the arena as...
The ominous music of Karrion Kross hits, as the harbinger of Doomsday makes his way out and is of course joined by his siren of doom Scarlett Bordeaux. The smoke fills up the ringside area as he slides into the ring as Scarlett hands off him whilst he cuts an imposing presence as he awaits Finn Balor.
Michael Cole: Corey not a lot is known about Karrion Kross, do any of your sources have any information on Kross?
Corey Graves: All the ones who know anything about Kross say one thing: Run. If he comes for you, it means the end is here.
Anticipation builds as the fans get ready for the Prince Finn Balor to make his way out. And eventually, he does cutting his signature pose at the top of the ramp. He stands at the top before locking eyes with Karrion Kross in the ring. He puts his hands in a finger-gun motion before heading to the ring ready for a fight.
Michael Cole: Corey on Smackdown, Finn Balor confirmed he wasn't bringing the Demon King out and Kross would be fighting the Prince instead. Do you think Balor is making a mistake?
Corey Graves: I think so Cole. Maybe he is underestimating the threat Kross is. However, we know how draining on the psyche of Finn Balor bringing the Demon out is. So maybe he doesn't want to bring it out when he doesn't need to.
Finn Balor now steps into the ring as Scarlett Bordeaux heads to the outside and smiles mocking Finn Balor. The smoke has started to clear as the referee calls for the bell and this match is underway!

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

Video package for next match
-------------------------------------------------
A loud pop from the fans as Bayley makes her way out. There is no inflatable tube men as Bayley looks serious as she heads to the ring, in what is arguably the biggest match of her career so far. She does still slap hands with some of the kids in the first few rows but once inside the ring she is all business.
Michael Cole: This all started at Money in the Bank earlier on this year when Sasha Banks attacked Bayley and caused her to miss Money in the Bank, taking her spot later in the night and winning the briefcase.
Corey Graves: I've said this many times over the years but Sasha Banks is not to be trusted. If Bayley had listened to me or hell The Man Becky Lynch, she might have won Money in the Bank and would be champion right now.
Michael Cole: Well speaking of Becky Lynch, she has been taken to a local medical facility to be checked out after Ronda Rousey's attack earlier tonight. They will be looking to see if she has a broken arm.
Corey Graves: And you have to think that whoever wins this match, Ronda Rousey will be next in line for a title shot.
Loud boos though some fans cheer as The Boss makes her way out. She lifts her Women's Universal title into the air. Once she finishes doing that she steps into the ring and comes face to face with her former best friend.

Winner: Draw (17:35)
A stunned reaction from the crowd who boo as both women lay down and out in the wreckage of the tables on the outside of the ring. The referee meanwhile heads to the ringside announcer and confirms his decision.
Mike Rome: This last woman standing match has been declared a draw! So your Women's Universal Champion is still Sasha Banks!
Her music plays as the crowd lets out massive boos, unhappy Sasha Banks was able to escape with her title tonight.
Michael Cole: By hook or by crook Sasha Banks escaped with her title tonight!
Corey Graves: Credit to Bayley tonight. She pushed Sasha Banks to the limit tonight and showed a side of her we never normally see.
The title is passed to Banks who is only just crawling out of the wreckage as she smirks and hugs her title tighter than she has ever held it before.

A massive crash can be heard after the landing as Paige comes out and sees what's happened as she calls for a medic. A bunch of medics rush out as we cut back to the commentary team at ringside.
Michael Cole: I have a feeling Bayley isn't done with Sasha Banks just yet.
Corey Graves: You might be right Michael but it seems like things are getting pretty chaotic in the Women's division Raw. Look what Ronda did to Becky earlier tonight as and you have to think she will want a shot at the Women's Universal title as well!
Michael Cole: You might be right there Corey. Whilst our medical team checks on Banks and Bayley, we have Renee Young backstage for a backstage interview.
-------------------------------------------------
Reene Young: It's been a very busy night already for the Ungovenables but I'm just going to try to get a word with the Universal Champion Andrade ahead of his title defense later on tonight.
Renee tries to walk into the Ungovenables locker room but Zelina Vega steps in front of her.
Zelina Vega: I know what you're trying to do. My client is getting ready for his first-ever pay-per-view title defense. Whatever you want to ask him you can ask me.
Renee rolls her eyes but an interview is an interview.
Renee Young: Your client Andrade faces a tough challenge as he takes on three former World champions in AJ Styles, Rey Mysterio, and Seth Rollins. How does he plan on walking out of the match as champion when he could lose his title without being pinned?
Zelina Vega: You think I'm giving away any strategy? My client will win because he is the best in the World. He will find a way to keep hold of the title against the unfair odds.
Renee Young: One more question Zelina. After Team Black's win tonight and Brock Lesnar's win as well, are you worried this adds even more challengers to the ever-growing list of people gunning for Andrade's title?
Zelina shakes her head and heads back into the locker room, slamming the door shut in Renee's face pretty much giving her an answer to Renee as we cut back to the ring.
-------------------------------------------------
A massive pop from the live crowd as two-thirds of the New Day make their way to the ring as they look to become six-time tag team champions tonight. They are without their friend Kofi Kingston who is backstage getting ready for the 7 vs 7 main event but both men look ready to get down to business.
Michael Cole: The New Day have been the standard-bearers for the tag team division over the last few years.
Corey Graves: But they have never defeated the Revival in two on two action!
Michael Cole: That's correct Corey but tonight The New Day look to break that streak and prove there are the best tag team in the world at the moment.
Corey Graves: However Michael there are new top guys in the tag team division!

Winners via pinfall and still WWE tag team champions: The Revival (17:38)
Boos from the crowd but The Revival don't give a damn as they get to their feet and celebrate a massive win over the stalwarts of the tag team division over the last few years. Big E is only just coming to after being hit with the Big Rig and sees The Revival celebrating, as he knows they have come up short once again against the Revival. The Revival meanwhile grab their titles and lift them into the air celebrating their victory.
Corey Graves: The Top Guys did it!
Michael Cole: The Revival proved how good they are tonight as they beat The New Day!
Corey Graves: They came into tonight looking to prove they are the best tag team in the world and they backed it up tonight, beating the team who have been the foundation of the tag team division.
The Revival head up the ramp and celebrate as Big E helps Woods gets back to is feet. Both men look upset before sharing a hug and getting a few New Day rocks chants from the crowd.
Corey Graves: I wonder what is next for The New Day after coming up short tonight.
Michael Cole: Well we still have Kofi taking part in tonight's main event against Team Shane but right now, The Universal title is on the line as Andrade defends his title against Seth Rollins, AJ Styles and Rey Mysterio. Let's look how we got here!
-------------------------------------------------
Video package
-------------------------------------------------
A loud pop from the crowd as Rey Mysterio makes his way out to the ring first. He touches masks with the kids in the crowd as he walks down the ramp, looking to become a world champion for a fifth time tonight!
Michael Cole: At Armageddon Rey Mysterio achieved one of his lifelong dreams and won a world title in Mexico when he beat Seth Rollins for the Universal title. However, Andrade soon turned his dream into a nightmare, chasing in the Money in the Bank briefcase to steal the title from him.
Corey Graves: Andrade didn't steal anything. Winning Money in the Bank allows him to cash in whenever he wants and he took full advantage of that thanks to the genius of Andrade.
Michael Cole: Well tonight, Rey has the chance to take back the title he lost and gain a measure of vengeance against Andrade.
A massive mixed reaction from the crowd as AJ Styles walks out. He is joined at the top of the entrance ramp by the Good Brothers. They too sweet their leader before heading backstage per Paige's ruling that anyone who gets involved in this match will be fired. AJ walks down the ramp and once inside the ring he has a staredown with Rey Mysterio.
Corey Graves: But unlike Rey, AJ Styles actually beat Andrade at Armageddon!
Michael Cole: You're right Corey. AJ Styles did beat Andrade at Armageddon and if he can pin him again, he can become a three-time World champion.
Corey Graves: AJ has traveled the world and won gold everywhere. Tonight he can become the champion of the Universe and show that the Club are taking over Raw.
Michael Cole: The Ungovenables might have something to say about that.
Once again, we get another massive mixed reaction though it is surprisingly more boos than cheers as Seth Rollins makes his way out. Seth Rollins poses for the crowd and does his usual entrance before heading to the ring, eyeballing Rey and AJ Styles two men who he has had issues with over the last few months.
Michael Cole: People have started to call Seth Rollins, Monday Night Rollins over this last year and it's easy to see why.
Corey Graves: You've got that right, Michael. He beat Brock Lesnar not once but twice. Most people can't even get a win over the Beast once let alone twice.
Michael Cole: Not only that but he managed to hold on to his Universal title for six months taking on numerous challengers before losing to Rey in Mexico.
Corey Graves: And I feel, on any other night in any other city Seth Rollins would have beaten Rey Mysterio. But can he get his title back tonight?
And last but certainly not least, The Universal Champion Andrade Cien Almas makes his way out. Zelina Vega joins him at the top of the entrance ramp and gives him some instructions before he heads to the ring. All 3 three men in the ring are staring the Champion down, all looking to get a piece of him for different reasons as the usual title introductions done all along.
Michael Cole: But this is the man to beat. Ever since winning Money in the Bank back in May, Andrade has been on a roll only losing one singles match and that was the same night he won the Universal title!
Corey Graves: Agreed Michael, Zelina saved Andrade's career down in NXT and now she has led him to the top of Monday Night Raw!
The pre-match introductions are finished off as each man heads to a corner of the ring as the referee calls for the bell and this match is underway!

Both men lock up in the center of the ring and have a battle of their own. Seth gets AJ down on the mat and starts working over him in a headlock getting a fairly decent amount of boos.

But he falls just short of breaking the cover!
Winner via pinfall: Andrade Cien Almas (15:59)
Boos ring out from the crowd as Seth Rollins was fingertips away from breaking the cover but he falls just short of stopping Andrade from retaining his title tonight. Andrade though doesn't care as he gets to his feet and demands he is passed his Universal title belt!
Michael Cole: Say what you want about him but Andrade was in the right place at the right time and has held onto his Universal title tonight!
Corey Graves: Beating three former World champions to hold onto that belt shows how good he is. Zelina Vega only picks the best clients.
Michael Cole: But throughout the match, all three of his opponents looked liked winning at one point.
Corey Graves: You might be right Michael but only one man is walking out with the Universal title!
Andrade Cien Almas is now on the entrance ramp as he is joined by Zelina Vega who lets out a smile, happy her most prized client picked up the win tonight. Back at ringside, we cut to each of the challengers one by one.

Corey Graves: The losing team's captain will be removed from power. Let's look at how we got here!
-------------------------------------------------
Video package
-------------------------------------------------
A massive pop as we return to the ring as The Game HHH makes his way out in a business suit as he heads towards the ring. He takes a seat on a chair adjacent to the destroyed announce table ahead of this match.
Michael Cole: Tonight is a massive night for Smackdown and will define the future of the show.
Corey Graves: And it will be glorious when Shame McMahon's team wins. It will be a new era with opportunities for the those who deserve it!
Loud boos from the crowd as Shane McMahon makes his way out to the ring with a crutch to help him walk, slowly limping as he walks out thanks to his injury (EWR Injury) but he still does an attempt at the Shane McMahon shuffle. Shane McMahon slowly heads to the ring before taking a seat at the opposite side of the announce tables.
Michael Cole: I'm not sure I want to see Shane's vision for the future of Smackdown Live. Look how good NXT is.
Corey Graves: Exactly Michael. HHH has one brand he has to focus on, he doesn't need two brands to focus on!
A pretty decent pop especially from the hardcore fans in attendance as Pete Dunne makes his way out. The young Brit has his mouth-guard in as he poses at the top of the ramp before heading to the ring. Pete though takes his time and instead heads towards Shane McMahon promoting Shane to lift the crutches up ready to defend himself as Dunne shakes his head smirking and slides into the ring.
Corey Graves: And this is the kind of future Triple H is promoting! A world where the wrestlers are threatening officials.
Michael Cole: Pete Dunne only attacked Shane on Friday after he and Jinder Mahal attacked him!
Corey Graves: Jinder wanted Pete to show him the correct respect and Shane was protecting the talent which is his job!
A decent reaction from the crowd as The Miz and John Morrison make their way to the ring. The Miz is all business and just walks straight to the ring, whilst John Morrison poses and does his usual entrance and does the slow-motion entrance before joining Miz and Morrison inside the ring.
Michael Cole: This will be personal for Miz. Ever since Shane McMahon turned his back on him and attacked his dad, he has been looking for revenge.
Corey Graves: Miz didn't live up to the best in the world's standard so he ditched him. I feel for John Morrison, he is now being dragged down by his tag team partner.
Michael Cole: John Morrison came back to WWE to help his friend The Miz.
Corey Graves: And to win titles, which he hasn't been able to do since he started fighting Miz's battles for him!
A large pop as Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens make their way out. Both men look at each other before heading to the ring, with Kevin Owens and Sami both looking serious ahead of this match. They join Miz in the ring and share a fist bump with him as Dunne looks on nodding.
Michael Cole: Well we just spoke about Miz's issues with Shane McMahon but these two men have had issues with Shane McMahon for years.
Corey Graves: Kevin Owens attacked Vince McMahon, the owner of the company and Shane's dad. Why would Shane treat him fairly after that?
Michael Cole: Maybe Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn saw how power-hungry Shane was before everyone else did?
A massive pop as the former WWE Champion Kofi Kingston makes his way to the ring. The crowd let out a few “NEW DAY ROCKS” and “Kofi” chants as he makes his way to the ring. He shares a few words with Miz, KO, and Zayn once inside the ring whilst Dunne and Morrison watch on.
Michael Cole: Kofi Kingston was cost his WWE title by the Corporation when Shane McMahon got involved and helped Roman win the title.
Corey Graves: Listen Kofi was a great WWE champion. He defended that belt against all challengers but Shane wanted a champion who could be the face of the brand. Roman is that champion.
And the loudest pop so far as Drew McIntyre slowly marches out, ready for war! He takes his time as he walks to the ring, as he has an ice-cold stare on his face whilst the crowd cheer him on going wild. Once inside the ring he nods and acknowledges his teammates but stands to the side by himself as he gets ready for a fight.
Michael Cole: Well, the other man who was screwed in that match, Drew McIntyre is out for revenge as well.
Corey Graves: But this is the problem. He doesn't know how to be a team player. Look at his fight with Kevin Owens.
Michael Cole: Well Triple H will be hoping they got that out of their system as he warned them there would be consequences if they cost his team the match.
Corey Graves: Yeah because Drew McIntyre and Kevin Owens are famous for listening to instructions.
Loud boos from the crowd as the first member of Team Shane makes his way out to the top of the entrance ramp but wisely he stays at the bottom of the entrance ramp instead of joining Team Triple H inside the ring.
Michael Cole: Jinder Mahal joined Team Shane as he looks for revenge on Pete Dunne tonight.
Corey Graves: He is also a former WWE Champion and knows Drew McIntyre inside out!
It hurts my soul every time I remember Jinder Mahal was a WWE champion.
The War Raiders make their way out next as Hanson and Rowe cut an imposing presence as they stand next to Jinder Mahal, towering over the former WWE champion.
Michael Cole: Two men who love war. And are responsible for ending the career of Matt Hardy.
Corey Graves: They warned the Hardys what would happen if they went to war again. And there is a reason they have been a key part of the authority.
Michael Cole: They are former WWE and NXT tag team champions. These two men not only know how to work as a team but to dominate their opponents.
A massive mixed reaction as the Viper Randy Orton makes his way down the entrance ramp. He slowly walks to the ring as he looks at the men inside before joining his tag team partners on the entrance ramp.
Corey Graves: Randy Orton might just be the wildcard in this match Michael.
Michael Cole: No man has a better record when it comes to traditional Survivor Series elimination matches than the Viper Randy Orton.
Corey Graves: And he also knows if he helps Team Shane win, he will get the next shot at the WWE title.
Michael Cole: But will that cause tension within Team Shane from the WWE Champion Roman Reigns?
Loud boos from the crowd but once again the smarks in the crowd cheer as the planet Champion Daniel Bryan and his ally Erick Rowan make their way out. Daniel Bryan has his planet champion title with him as he makes his way to the bottom of the entrance ramp. We then see Erick Rowan stood next to Hanson and Rowe looking as tall as those two men.
Corey Graves: Daniel Bryan and Erick Rowan have spent months trying to save the planet but are constantly criticized by the fans for it!
Michael Cole: Well I don't agree with his methods for convincing people but tonight he might be able to help lead Team Shane to victory and get rid of Triple H.
Corey Graves: We all know the history Daniel Bryan and Triple H have.
And the loudest reaction so far tonight goes to Roman Reigns as the WWE Champion marches out soaking in the boos from the live crowd. He has a smug look on his face before lifting the WWE title in the air, almost taunting the crowd. He walks down the entrance ramp, standing front and center with Team Shane before leading them to the ring.
Michael Cole: Roman Reigns turned his back on the WWE Universe when he joined the Corporation as they helped him become WWE champion at Summerslam.
Corey Graves: In Roman's eyes, they turned their back on him years ago. He only earned their love when he recovered from leukemia.
Michael Cole: Either way, Roman is another man who has history with Triple H just like Daniel Bryan and Randy Orton.
Corey Graves: Gives Team Shane even more reason to win tonight and remove Triple H from power.
In the ring we see the two teams talking about who will start the match. After some brief discussion Drew McIntyre signals he will start for Team HHH whilst Jinder Mahal steps into the ring for Team Shane. The referee calls for the bell and this match is underway!

A massive pop from the crowd as Drew grabs the WWE champion Roman Reigns and rolls him into the ring making him the legal man!
Dre McIntyre lays into the champion as he starts hitting him clubbing blows and tosses him across the ring as he looks to get payback after being screwed at Summerslam and inside Hell in a Cell! He sends Roman into the corner of the ring before following up with several clotheslines in the corner as he keeps the fast pace up. On the outside, we can see Shane squirm as he worries about how badly the match has started for his team! As this is going on we see Kevin Owens come onto the apron as Drew tosses Roman out of the corner! He looks at KO and makes the tag!
HHH smiles and nods, happy to see these two men working together after their issues recently. Kevin Owens steps into the ring and lays into Roman with a few punches before running off the ropes and knocking Roman down with a LARIAT! KO makes the cover 1 Roman kicks out! Roman still has a lot of life in him as Owens grabs him off the mat and brings him over to the corner as he tags his tag team partner Sami Zayn into the match.
Roman tries to take down the pair with a double clothesline but Sami and KO duck underneath Roman and catch him with a DOUBLE SUPERKICK AS HE TURNS BACK AROUND! Sami makes the cover 1 Roman powers out. HHH outside looks a little nervous as he knows Roman is hard to keep down. Sami though looks to keep the pace up and lays into him with a few kicks to the WWE champion. However as Sami is laying into him, Roman grabs his leg and yanks Sami into the air hitting him with a SAMOAN DROP!
Sami goes flying across the ring as Roman looks to get a breather and tags in Hanson of the War Raiders whilst Sami tags in John Morrison! John Morrison runs into the ring as Hanson charges in looking to wipe him out but Morrison leaps over the giant and bounces off the ropes looking to knock Hanson down with a SPRINGBOARD CROSSBODY BUT HANSON JUST CATCHES HIM! Hanson hoists him into the air and tosses him across the ring with an EXPLODER SUPLEX! Hanson makes the cover 1 2 Morrison kicks out!
Hanson starts clubbing Morrison with several strikes before tossing him across the ring as he makes the tag to his partner Rowe. Both men lift Morrison into the air before DOUBLE LAWN DARTING HIM INTO THE CORNER OF THE RING!

He grabs hold of him on the mat working over him with a nerve hold.

Morrison lands with a hard thud as Rowan makes the cover 1 2 Morrison kicks out! Erick Rowan then looks to the corner and makes the tag bringing Daniel Bryan into the match.
Bryan lets out a smirk as he looks over at Miz and taunts his forever rival on the ring apron. The Miz thinks about entering the ring but Kofi and Zayn calm him down getting him to stay on the apron for the moment.
