The match doesn’t officially start as Team Edge and Team CM Punk kick-off Survivor Series with a massive brawl as the crowd go crazy at what they are witnessing. Edge goes straight after CM Punk, Cody Rhodes squares up with Mike Knox, Goldust and Luke Gallows go at it, Kaval and rival Richie Steamboat start kicking one another while John Morrison tries to slay the monstrous newcomer, Mark Harper. The referee is desperate to try and get control as all 10 men brawl, but it is Team Edge who get on top as Cody dropkicks Knox out the ring, Goldust clotheslines Gallows over the top rope, Richie Steamboat throws Kaval out while Edge goes for an EDGECUTUON but CM Punk evades and rolls under the bottom rope. That leaves Mark Harper alone with the entirety of Team Edge who all take turns at hammering away at him until he is thrown into the ring post and ends up on the outside alongside his Straight Edge Society teammates and Kaval.
Edge and his team taunt as referee Charles Robinson finally gets control of the match and both teams settle on their respective sides of the apron. The Rated R Superstar is going to lead by example and decides he will start the match for his team as he tries to goad CM Punk to face him man-to-man. The Straight Edge Saviour steps up and is ready to go at it with his arch-rival as the crowd erupt because this is what they have been waiting to see. Punk starts trash-talking Edge as the two of them look like they are ready to do battle and the bell rings to officially start the opening contest of Survivor Series. To nobody’s surprise though CM Punk wants nothing to do with Edge as he quickly tags in Luke Gallows and smirks and points to his head to signal he has outmanoeuvred the Ultimate Opportunist. Edge doesn’t waste a moment as he ducks under a clothesline attempt from Luke Gallows and delivers the SPEAR!!! Edge hooks the leg; 1…………… 2…………… 3! Edge has eliminated Luke Gallows just like that!
Elimination #1: Luke Gallows (Eliminated by Edge)
The crowd pop loudly as CM Punk looks shocked on the apron and the monstrous Mike Knox strides into the ring. Edge is quick to take control of the Straight Edge Society member with a nice SPINNING HEEL KICK and a nice DOWNWARD SPIRAL as he goes for another pin but this time Knox does kick out to keep his team at four members. Edge wastes no time in tagging in Cody Rhodes who gets a nice reaction from the Miami crowd. Rhodes hammers away at Knox and connects with a BASEMENT DROPKICK as he tags in Goldust and the two of them drop Knox on his head with a wicked DOUBLE FLAPJACK! Goldust taunts and gets a nice pop as he waits for Mike Knox to get to his feet. The WWE veteran hammers away at Knox and tries to Irish whip the monster, but he doesn’t have the strength and it is reversed as Goldust goes into the turnbuckle instead. Mike Knox runs and drives all the air out of Goldust with a big splash before he SUPLEXES him halfway across the ring.
Goldust is struggling as the crowd try to rally around him, but Knox drags his body to the corner of the Straight Edge Society and tags in the newcomer, Mark Harper. The crowd has an eerie hush which comes over it as they sense this could be bad news for Goldust. Harper Irish whips Goldust and absolutely floors him with an awe-inspiring SPINNING SIDE SLAM as the crowd gasp at the limp body of the Bizarre One. Harper looks into the hard camera with a crazed look in his eyes as CM Punk tells him to finish it. The newest member of the Straight Edge Society stalks the fallen Goldust and as he slowly gets up to his feet, Harper takes off and almost takes his head off with an incredible DISCUS CLOTHESLINE!!! The crowd gasp at the impact as Harper hooks both legs of Goldust; 1…………… 2…………… 3! We are all even once again as Mark Harper makes his mark on the match almost immediately.
Elimination #2: Goldust (Eliminated by Mark Harper)
Cody Rhodes is quick to enter and takes the fight to Harper as he tries to rock the big man and get some instant revenge for the elimination of Goldust. He throws big punches and kicks at the destroyer. Cody tries to Irish whip Harper which doesn’t go well for him and instead the opposite happens and, on the way, back Rhodes is dropped with a BIG BOOT which flattens him. The crowd make another noise of surprise at the domination as Harper picks up Rhodes and in one fluid motion he drops him with an incredible SITOUT POWERBOMB! Harper goes for the cover; 1…………… 2…………… John Morrison comes in and breaks up the cover. The referee admonishes him as Mr Money in the Bank returns to the apron and tries to cheer on Cody to get out of the dangerous predicament he is in. Harper gets to his feet and stares at Morrison and points his hand like a gun to the Guru of Greatness.
Harper turns his attention back to Rhodes and for the second time in just a few minutes he nails a DISCUS CLOTHESLINE and hooks the leg as he stares straight at Morrison on the apron. 1…………… 2…………… 3! Mark Harper has just changed the dynamic of the match entirely as Team CM Punk has a man advantage. Serena applauds from ringside as CM Punk looks on ecstatic at the destruction of Goldust and Rhodes thanks to Mark Harper. He is now about to face a new challenge though as John Morrison steps in the ring and is not backing down from the mammoth man.
Elimination #3: Cody Rhodes (Eliminated by Mark Harper)
Mark Harper smirks at John Morrison as the two start to battle it out and Mr Money in the Bank is the first man to rock the big man and takes him down to a knee with his trademark FLYING CHUCK KICK and then fully to the canvas with his patented SLIDING KNEE to the head of the behemoth. Harper ends up in his corner and tags in none other than the Straight Edge Saviour, CM Punk. The crowd go up a level with their heat towards the arrogant leader of the Straight Edge Society. John Morrison is ready to go at it with Punk but Edge calls for the tag on the apron and the crowd go into a frenzy as they anticipate they’ll finally see Punk and the Rated R Superstar going at it. Morrison tags his team captain in as Edge looks ready to annihilate his rival. Before he can do anything though, CM Punk predictably tags out to the Cruiserweight Champion, Kaval for the first time in this contest.
Kaval goes at Edge and the two start fighting in what many would see as a unique clash you might only see at an event like Survivor Series. Kaval doesn’t back down from the World Heavyweight Champion. He kicks the knees of the Ultimate Opportunist and delivers some chops to the chest as he drops Edge with a nice FISHERMAN SUPLEX! He isn’t done there as the Cruiserweight Champion goes to the ring apron and tells Edge to get to his feet. The World Warrior leaps and connects with the TIDAL WAVE, his Springboard Roundhouse kick. Kaval goes for the pin; 1……… 2……… Edge kicks out and won’t be beaten that easily. Kaval stays focused and has Edge in a seated position and delivers two shotgun kicks to his chest as he goes for a big ROUNDHOUSE KICK to the head for the exclamation mark but Edge ducks under and rolls up the Cruiserweight Champion; 1……… 2……… Kaval kicks out. As both men get to their feet though, Edge hits the EDGECUTION out of nowhere leaving the duo down on the canvas.
The crowd gets behind Edge who after a few seconds manages to make the tag to newcomer Richie Steamboat who has set his sights on the Cruiserweight Champion, Kaval since his debut in the WWE. The son of Ricky ‘The Dragon’ Steamboat flies into the ring with a SPRINGBOARD BLOCKBUSTER which takes down Kaval as he throws a DROPKICK at Mike Knox on the apron. Steamboat turns his attention back to the Cruiserweight Champion and takes him down with a SLINGBLADE. Richie follows up by going to the top rope and waiting for Kaval to get to his feet. Steamboat jumps and looks for a high-angle CROSSBODY! The youngster leaps high in the air and lands on Kaval but the Cruiserweight Champion rolls through and pins Richie and grabs a handful of tights; 1…………… 2…………… 3! Kaval eliminates Richie Steamboat and Team Edge have just two men left in the Rated R Superstar and Mr Money in the Bank, John Morrison.
Elimination #4: Richie Steamboat (Eliminated by Kaval)
Kaval smirks as he gets one over the man who has made it clear he wants a Cruiserweight Championship opportunity. John Morrison is quick to get in the ring and is the next man who stands in the way of Kaval. The Cruiserweight Champion and his opponent are embroiled in some fast-paced action with Kaval avoiding a clothesline with a matrix evasion and Morrison landing on his feet from a springboard moonsault as the World Warrior moved out of the way. In the end it is Morrison who gets the better of Kaval as he connects with a beautiful STANDING SPANISH FLY as the crowd pop and Morrison pins; 1……… 2……… Kaval kicks out. Morrison gets the Cruiserweight Champion to his feet but he wants out of the match and quickly tags in Mike Knox. The massive Straight Edge Society member looks annoyingly at Kaval but gets in the ring and squares up to the Shaman of Sexy nonetheless.
Morrison isn’t backing down from the bigger man and starts to throw punches at him but Knox just swats him away and laughs. Knox Irish whips the former member of MNM and tag team partner of The Miz but Morrison slides through the legs of the big man on the rebound. As Knox turns around, he is met with a massive ENZUIGIRI and is rocked. Mr Money in the Bank sees his opportunity and sprints at Knox but is planted with a massive TILT-A-WHIRL SIDE SLAM as the ring shakes and Edge looks concerned on the apron. Knox goes for the cover; 1……… 2……… Morrison gets the shoulder up. The Straight Edge Society member knows this is his opportunity and waits for Morrison to slowly make it back to his feet and is looking for the KNOX OUT! He has him in position but Mr Money in the Bank reverses and rolls up the bigger man but has all of leverage on top of him; 1…………… 2…………… 3! Just like that Mike Knox is out of here but the odds are still against Edge and Morrison.
Elimination #5: Mike Knox (Eliminated by John Morrison)
CM Punk is straight in the ring and connecting with a clothesline to Morrison which takes him down to the mat. Punk blows a kiss to Edge on the apron which gets nuclear heat from the Survivor Series crowd as they can’t stand the Straight Edge Saviour. Punk dominates Morrison for the next period in the match as he Irish whips him into the turnbuckle and nails his RUNNING KNEE flush to his opponent’s face. Morrison is dropped with a BULLDOG as Punk tags Mark Harper in who connects with a SENTON ATOMICO from the ring apron to the inside after Punk had delivered a BACKBREAKER leaving Morrison in the vulnerable position. Harper covers; 1……… 2……… Morrison gets the shoulder up again much to the delight of the sold out crowd. Harper wastes no time at all in dragging Morrison back up to his feet and dropping him with a massive SUPERKICK. 1……… 2……… NO! Morrison will not be defeated but is in a bad way as Harper tags CM Punk back into the match.
The Straight Edge Saviour cockily smirks at being in complete control with a man advantage over Team Edge as well. Punk stomps away at Morrison and locks in a tight headlock on the mat as he looks to choke out his opponent. It gives both competitors a chance to slow things down and get their breath back as the crowd slowly start to get behind Mr Money in the Bank. Morrison works his way back to his feet and elbows CM Punk in the gut several times. It forces Punk to release the hold and Morrison takes Punk down with a couple of nice clotheslines. Morrison hooks CM Punk up and delivers the MOONLIGHT DRIVE! Morrison is exhausted though and is slow to crawl to the pin attempt; 1……… 2……… Punk gets the shoulder up. Morrison is exhausted and looks to tag Edge in as the crowd get louder and louder at anticipating the arrival of the Rated R Superstar.
Before Morrison can tag Edge into the bout though, the Cruiserweight Champion has sprinted around the ring and pulls him off the ring as his head bounces off the apron and the Miami crowd boos loudly. Josh Mathews is angry on commentary at what just happened as CM Punk smirks as he has managed to use the ropes to get back to his feet and drags John Morrison back to the middle of the ring. He gets him on his shoulders and looks for the GO TO SLEEP! Morrison wriggles off the shoulders and looks for a HURRICANRANA but Punk shows some great strength in getting Morrison back in position and nails him with the GTS!!! John Morrison flops to the canvas as CM Punk hooks both legs to get maximum leverage; 1…………… 2…………… 3! CM Punk has eliminated Mr Money in the Bank and Edge now finds himself at a 3-on-1 disadvantage with CM Punk, Mark Harper and Kaval all still in the match for Team Punk.
Elimination #6: John Morrison (Eliminated by CM Punk)
As the fans in attendance at Survivor Series boo loudly at what they are witnessing, CM Punk realises his team now have the big opportunity to punish his arch-rival Edge. The Rated R Superstar slowly recovers on the outside and looks in the ring and works out what has just happened and has a concerned look on his face knowing this is probably too much, even for him. CM Punk smiles and begs Edge to face him in the ring, very different from earlier in the match. The Rated R Superstar takes his time in getting in the ring as he has taken a lot of punishment, but he does get in the ring and here we go! CM Punk and Edge finally start going at it as the Rated R Superstar connects with the EDGE-O-MATIC and goes for a quick pin; 1……… 2……… Punk kicks out and quickly scurries to his corner to tag in the Cruiserweight Champion, Kaval wanting nothing more to do with Edge.
The crowd boos loudly as Kaval bounds into the ring but just like that he is met with a SPEAR!!! Edge nearly cuts the World Warrior in half as he quickly pins; 1…………… 2…………… 3! Edge has eliminated Kaval and cut the deficit. Can the Rated R Superstar shock the world? The crowd erupts as Edge looks fired up but he still has two men to eliminate if he is to be the sole survivor.
Elimination #7: Kaval (Eliminated by Edge)
The mood changes somewhat when Mark Harper strides into the ring and squares up to Edge who realises he is going to have to slay the newcomer to the Straight Edge Society if he wants to be victorious. Harper has been super impressive since making his debut by attacking Edge a few weeks ago on SmackDown but he now has a chance to get some revenge as CM Punk stands on the apron and watches his disciple. Harper goes for a big punch but Edge ducks underneath and connects with a number of punches of his own, a spinning wheel kick and a big missile dropkick from the top rope. Harper is rocked as Edge delivers a BIG BOOT and shows some incredible strength in flooring Harper for the first time with the EDGECUTION!!! The Rated R Superstar goes for the pin; 1……… 2……… CM Punk breaks up the pin attempt as the those inside the American Airlines Arena give him nuclear heat for his actions.
The referee admonishes CM Punk for breaking up the pin but he just smirks and returns to the ring apron as Edge glares at him but realises he has to finish off Harper if he wants to pick up the win. The former World Heavyweight Champion turns his attention back to Mark Harper and calls for the Spear as the crowd get solidly behind him and want to see the behemoth lose for the first time. Harper gets to his feet and as Edge runs he is met with a monstrous BIG BOOT as Harper smirks and CM Punk as well as Serena on the outside applauds at the carnage that they just witnessed. Harper isn’t done there though as he lifts Edge and drops him with a SITOUT POWERBOMB before CM Punk asks Harper to tag him in. Mark Harper points at Punk and smiles as he does indeed tag the leader of the Straight Edge Society in. Punk smirks as Edge has nothing left in the tank whatsoever.
The Straight Edge Saviours shouts to the crowd ‘Straight Edge is better than you’ as he lifts Edge onto his shoulder and lays him out with the GO TO SLEEP! Edge’s body is limp as CM Punk pins the Rated R Superstar…
1…………… 2…………… 3! CM Punk and Mark Harper survive as the Straight Edge Society stand tall to kick-off Survivor Series.
