PLAY BY PLAY

It’s time for the WWE Survivor Series Kickoff Show!

Jonathan Coachman, David Otunga, and two WWE Hall of Famers, Jerry “The King” Lawler and Beth “The Glamazon” Phoenix start us off!

Alexa Bliss rallies her team.

SmackDown’s attack clearly showed that they’re afraid, and ready to play dirty. Raw will win, but that’s not enough. The Goddess wants “total humiliation.” Did no one see what Nia Jax did to Becky Lunch’s face? And Ruby Riott says they have luck on their side. Speaking of luck, has Natty fixed her daddy’s broken sunglasses? Natty attacks!! Team Raw scrambles to separate Natty and Ruby, and Alexa Bliss shouts over all of them. This is NOT how they’re doing this! Natty and Ruby, if you can’t get along, you’re off the team! They freak out again, but that’s the captain’s choice. With spots open at the last minute, will there be anyone to fill them? Or is Raw going into a handicap scenario against SmackDown?

The WWE General Managers join the panel!

The Glampire in Chief and the “Acting” Lone Wolf join King and Coach to talk Survivor Series. Paige is feeling the win is coming because SmackDown is a family. But then Corbin’s guys, Bobby Lashley & Lio Rush, appear! Do you know what’s missing from this panel? The “Almighty” Lashley. His pecs are sculpted by Michaelangelo. Lashley is walking art. Los Angeles is witnessing art. Lashley double guns, and Lio says everyone better get ready. Another statue will be built in honor of the Rocky Mountain Machine. His favorite pose, the double cheeks! Lashley the living legend destroys SmackDown tonight. Coach redirects the discussion to the matches, so Lio and Lashley take their leave. Their behavior only makes Paige feel even more confident her men win.

With all this emotion as Raw and SmackDown go head-to-head, what else makes Paige confident her teams win? She’s confident because they’re all families, because they’re all united, and because they’re all coached by Paige, and not an interim GM. Baron Corbin doesn’t care about that, his guys are getting along for tonight. Corbin knows there’s dysfunction, but he is sure they’ll all work together as one. Then there’s Seth Rollins against Shinsuke Nakamura, the Architect is one of the best. Brock Lesnar takes on Daniel Bryan, and Bryan probably doesn’t last two minutes. And while SmackDown’s Women’s team invaded, Raw’s team has lost members because of dysfunction.

Well egos clash, but when the bell rings, Raw comes together to win, and get back at Shane McMahon for stealing the World Cup. The women will come together to get back at SmackDown for the raid. And Corbin is going to earn being permanent GM. Paige says that her underdog teams always find a way. Just look at Daniel Bryan. But then, their women’s team also has a blank fifth spot. Well that’ll be a secret until the match, and that’ll be a perfect fit to win.

Moving from that, Becky Lynch can’t compete because of the concussion, how did that affect things? Paige did let Becky choose her replacement, and Charlotte Flair was the best choice. Corbin isn’t so sure Charlotte can be ready for Ronda in just a few days. Charlotte beat Asuka at Wrestlemania. But Asuka is not Ronda. Ronda had a bad arm after what Becky did but Ronda’s fought with worse. Corbin and Paige are each confident as can be, but whose teams will be the best in WWE?

Backstage interview with Charlotte Flair.

The war of words was personal between Ronda and Becky, and then between Ronda and Charlotte. The thing about social media, people love you then hate you. But that’s not what this match is about, it’s about Ronda VS Charlotte. Even frenemy Becky knows The Queen gets it done when it matters. Ronda wants to bring up Horsewomen? Fine. Anyone can hold up the four fingers, but Charlotte is the only one with the birthright to make it mean something. Charlotte fights for SmackDown and for herself. She will prove no one can lace up her boots, and even the Baddest Woman on the Planet will bow down.

Naomi rallies Team SmackDown.

With Charlotte moving up to face Ronda Rousey, they have a spot open. The Glow steps up to be the new captain, and Raw is on the ropes. The important thing to remember is that these four must stay united. And that includes their new fifth: R-Truth? He thanks them for including him, but he’s not the fifth woman. Because he’s not a woman! Why’s science gotta matter?

Moving on, the fifth is Mandy Rose. And she’s so glad everyone “came to your senses.” Now they might be upset after she was too truthful, but tonight will be the biggest night of their careers. And she’s not going to throw it away just to fight with them. Sonya Deville is the only one standing up for Mandy but she doesn’t make it easy. Naomi keeps them calm, because SmackDown needs to show they’re the better WWE Women’s Division. Truth even joins in on the hands-in moment. With dysfunction going against dysfunction, which Women’s Division will survive?

And Alexa is just fine with it! The Goddess and the Irresistible Force are on the same page as the Red Brand gets their first win. However, it was at the expense of Sasha Banks. Will The Boss settle for being a pawn in this game? Or will she and Bayley get even with Nia in the near future?

Baron Corbin and Stephanie McMahon celebrate.

As far as the main show goes, Raw is up 1-0 on Survivor Series. And that’s just the start for the night. It better be, because while Raw Women’s had motivation, the raid was still a bad thing. So if Corbin wants to go from interim to permanent GM, get the sweep. Corbin guarantees Raw stands tall. Can he? In come Paige and Shane! SmackDown says the Women’s Match is one thing, but by the end of the night, they’ll be #FeelingBlue.

Okay, sure, Shane stole the World Cup, but they’re not stealing Survivor Series. They’re like LeBron: overrated, over-hyped, and they can’t get he job down. But they do have AJ Styles and Becky Lynch. Oh wait, no they don’t. Shane likes this attitude, it’s so great, because it’ll make the victories that much sweeter. And then we’ll all win when Stephanie fires Corbin. Corbin says he’s not worried, but should he be?

Winner: Seth Rollins, by pinfall

That’s 2-0 for Raw on the main show, 2-1 overall! So far, Constable Corbin’s confidence is justified as The Architect still wins against a man he hadn’t prepared for. Now that Survivor Series is through for Rollins, can he focus fully on the Lunatic Fringe?

Raw’s Men’s Team talk backstage.

This team is full of dysfunction, but Braun Strowman wants to make things clear. He doesn’t like Drew McIntyre, Dolph Ziggler, Bobby Lashley, and barely knows who Lio Rush is. Finn Balor is alright, but he needs to carry his weight against Team SmackDown. Then Strowman can get what he deserves. Otherwise, they’re all gonna #GetTheseHands. McIntyre says he should be in charge, because he broke The Shield, he ended Kurt Angle, and he’ll brutalize Shane for Ziggler’s sake. The “Mindless meat castle” better stay out of the way. Is that so?

Corbin comes in, saying this is what SmackDown wants. What’s going on? Strowman’s a mindless meat castle. Well he is. And the deal is, Strowman can’t touch Corbin until after Survivor Series. Strowman knows that, so he’ll have to settle for throwing Lio into Corbin! The Monster Among Men storms out, but R-Truth comes in to keep everyone calm. “Guys, guys, guys! We’re better than this!” Get it together. Truth, you’re not on this team OR on Raw! Go! Oh. Oops. Truth leaves, but Raw is still in disarray. Can they pull it together before the traditional 5v5?

Raw Tag Team Champions VS SmackDown Tag Team Champions: The Authors of Pain w/ Drake Maverick VS The Bar w/ The Big Show!

SmackDown may have won the Tag Team Division Elimination Match, but now it’s time to see which team truly reigns over all! Maverick has already led Akam & Rezar to titles in just a few months, can he lead them to a victory over the dominant five-time champions?

Akam taunts Sheamus again, but Cesaro gives him another EuroUpper! And then another, and another! Cesaro fires off more EuroUppers, but runs into a big clothesline! Cover, TWO! Akam drags Cesaro away with a chinlock camel clutch. Akam even stares Big Show down as he does. Cesaro moves around and fans rally up.

Cesaro fights out of the hold, and gives more EuroUppers. He runs, dodges, springboard EuroUpper! Sheamus and Rezar call for their partners as they crawl. Hot tags to them both! Sheamus rallies on Rezar with big forearm shots. He whips but Rezar reverses. Rezar misses, and gets a pump knee! Sheamus keeps going for another! Sheamus hits Akam for good measure, then goes after Rezar. Rezar dumps him out but Sheamus hot shots! Sheamus has Rezar, for Ten Beats of the Bodhrain! And Sheamus finally gives fans all 10! Then another hotshot! Sheamus climbs up, for the flying clothesline! Cover, TWO! Maverick sighs in relief, but Sheamus rallies the fans again. Sheamus wants his kick, but Maverick distracts. Cesaro gets Rezar with a EuroUpper, BROGUE!! Cover, but Maverick gives Rezar the ropebreak!

Big Show hauls Maverick up onto the apron, and chokes him with one hand! Maverick pees himself?! Show and The Bar can’t believe he wet himself, and just laugh. But then Rezar attacks them all! He and Akam combine, powerbomb neckbreaker! Cover, The Authors of Pain win!!

Winners: Raw’s Authors of Pain, Rezar pinning

The destructive duo win, thanks to a rather humiliating but effective distraction. With such dominance for both Raw and the AoP, will SmackDown ever get on the board?

Team SmackDown talks backstage.

Everyone feels good, and The Miz comes in as captain. He has an inspirational speech to help them win tonight, and even heal the world. As great as that speech is, he cannot give it, only one man can! And that man is Commissioner Shane O’Mac! Well okay. Now SmackDown is down, but they’re always the underdogs. Always! SmackDown has always been knocked down but they don’t stay down!

Rey Mysterio is the ultimate underdog, they need that tonight. Jeff Hardy is the Charismatic Engima, he has what it takes. And of course, Samoa Joe. The Samoan Submission Machine, a dominant force all over the world. R-Truth is- Not on the team, despite being on SmackDown. Well Truth wants to join the roster. He already’s on the roster. Oh, what a relief. Raw is a mess! Miz compliments Shane on his speech, it was riveting. Much like Marine 6. If they win, they’ll all get a signed copy! Truth would love that, if it’s Becky’s signature. Anyway, SmackDown MUST win this! #WeAreSmackDown! Will SmackDown bring it and get that first but all important win?

WWE Universal Champion, Brock Lesnar VS WWE Champion, Daniel Bryan!

The Beast is once again the “reigning, defending, undisputed” Universal Champion, but only after a Crown Jewel screw job orchestrated by Baron Corbin. The Goat is once again the world champion, but only after throwing a fit and kicking below the belt on The Phenomenal One. But this match isn’t about controversy, but about supremacy!

Bryan dropkicks the leg, but Lesnar stays up. Bryan gets away, but he’s laughing and egging Lesnar on! Lesnar and Bryan circle, but then Bryan bails out of the ring.

Bryan is very smug about his mind game, but Lesnar is still moderately calm. They circle in the ring again, and Bryan kicks. Lesnar gets the leg and then clobbers Bryan! Then Lesnar looms over Bryan, and laughs.

Lesnar hauls Bryan up, German Suplex! Bryan slumps to the apron, and the referee worries about him, given his medical history. Lesnar drags Bryan back in, then says “Suplex City!” Fans join in and chant it back. Lesnar drags Bryan up, for another German Suplex! Bryan sputters to the ropes, but Lesnar just watches. Heyman is actually shocked by all this, despite seeing it all before. Lesnar drags Bryan up by his hair, then puts him in a corner. For a belly2belly suplex! Three powerful suplexes total, but Lesnar still won’t cover. Fans boo and jeer, but Lesnar doesn’t care. He tells Bryan, “I can do this all night long.” And then he throws Bryan again! He keeps throwing Bryan with belly2bell suplexes, and Heyman is almost appalled. Lesnar dumps Bryan out of the ring, then holds up his belt as if he’s already won this match.

Lesnar goes out to fetch Bryan, only to throw him into barriers! He puts Bryan back in, but Bryan rolls all the way back out. Fans are divided as Lesnar goes out to fetch Bryan again. Lesnar throws Bryan into more barriers, then hauls Bryan into the ring. Bryan barely moves as Lesnar stands over him. Lesnar hauls Bryan up into a bearhug! He squeezes the life out of Bryan, but Bryan refuses to give up. So Lesnar slams him down! Lesnar continues to laugh as he looms over Bryan. He drags Bryan up again, but then drops the dead weight. “That’s your champion, huh?” Lesnar isn’t impressed. Bryan crawls to a corner, but Lesnar hauls him up for another German Suplex! Lesnar doesn’t want to end this, he’s having too much fun.

Lesnar drags Bryan up once more, and puts the bearhug back on. Bryan is a rag doll yet he doesn’t quit, so Lesnar throws him overhead again! Bryan is dazed as he clings to the ropes. Lesnar drags him away, then back up, into the fireman’s carry. For an F5! Cover, but Lesnar lets up!? The Beast is just playing with his food now, as he tosses Bryan aside. Lesnar drags Bryan around again, but then Bryan kicks him in the face! And again! Bryan somehow still has life, but Lesnar looks to end it. Fireman’s carry, F5 but into the ref! Bryan is on his feet, and he LOW BLOWS LESNAR!! Lesnar is reeling, fans are thunderous, and Bryan hits the KNEE PLUS!! Cover, TWO!! The Beast survives a shot to the balls and one to the head?! Heyman is panicking, though, because Bryan’s plan is clearly working now.

Bryan is up again, and he kicks away at Lesnar’s leg! Fans shout “YES! YES!” with each kick. Bryan kicks Lesnar while he’s down! And he doesn’t let up! Bryan grabs Lesnar’s arms to stomp and stomp and stomp! He only stops because he flounders away. Heyman continues to panic as Lesnar gasps for air. Lesnar gets up, but Bryan runs in, but to a fireman’s carry! Bryan slips out, then dumps Lesnar out! Bryan has a wild look in his eyes as he slingshots out! Lesnar catches him, but Bryan slips off to shove him into a post! Bryan’s on the apron, and he leaps for the flying knee! Down goes Lesnar! Fans are amazed as Bryan has new life. Bryan ditches Lesnar long enough to build speed, and DIVE! But Lesnar catches Bryan and rams him into the post, spine first!

Bryan is down again and Lesnar clears his head. Lesnar hauls Bryan up for another shot to the post. He then crawls into the ring long enough to refresh the count. Lesnar goes over to the steel steps and takes the top half off. He runs in but Bryan dodges! Steps hit post and into Lesnar’s face! Bryan is on the apron again, for more flying knees! Both men are down but fans are still fired up. A ring count begins, and both men crawl over. Bryan kicks Lesnar, Lesnar kicks Bryan. Lesnar puts Bryan in but Bryan is ready. Bryan runs at Lesnar, Knee Plus again!! Cover, TWO!? Lesnar still lives, but Heyman is freaking out all over again.

Bryan keeps on Lesnar, chop block to legs! Then he takes the legs to the post! Lesnar falls out of the ring, that’s how hard Bryan swung him! But Bryan doesn’t let up, he puts Lesnar in and climbs. Bryan leaps, missile dropkick hits! Lesnar rolls away and Heyman is about to faint. Bryan fires himself up, and LA fires up with him. Lesnar manages to get to his feet, but gets a dropkick in the corner. Bryan goes again for another! He keeps going, but into the fireman’s carry, only for Lesnar’s legs to give out on him! Bryan gets the YES LOCK! Lesnar endures as Bryan pulls back hard as he can! Even Lesnar looks worried! Bryan pulls, but Lesnar pries free. So Bryan clubs him in the head! And the Yes Lock is back on!

Lesnar reaches, moves around, but Bryan pulls back so far on the neck! Lesnar gets free again, only to get in a triangle. It’s a cover, ONE as Bryan keeps shoulders up. Bryan punches away but Lesnar deadlifts, fireman’s carries, F5!! Cover, Lesnar wins!

Winner: Brock Lesnar, by pinfall

To Heyman’s relief, Brock Lesnar pulls out the win. Bryan used everything, from grit to savvy to cheating, but somehow Suplex City stays standing. If anything was even a little different, perhaps The Goat would’ve conquered the Conqueror. But instead, Raw completely conquers SmackDown, 6-1, with the only win for Team Blue in the Kickoff Show. Is AJ Styles somewhere thinking he could’ve done better? Or is Lesnar just that freakishly unstoppable? Will SmackDown ever get one over on Raw?

My Thoughts:

This is a very hard Survivor Series to score. On one hand, a lot of the action was great. On the other, the scoring of the “Survivor Series” wasn’t at all right. The final “score” was 6-1 and ONLY the SmackDown Tag Division won anything. And then, ways of getting to some wins were not really good for anyone, Raw or SmackDown.

The SmackDown Tag Division is much stronger just on paper, so I’m glad they won. I suppose Nia Jax has to stay strong for her match with Ronda, but screwing over Sasha must be another element to story they want to use. Nia has had history with each of the NXT Horsewomen, maybe that’ll cycle back around because of the real-life accident with Becky. I actually like that Ambrose didn’t interfere with Rollins’ match, and as such, Rollins wins clean in an epic match. I hope something happens to give us this match again. But at the same time, story dictates Ambrose should’ve interfered and then that’d feed perfectly into their Intercontinental Championship match at TLC, while giving SmackDown one main show win.

The Authors of Pain got a distraction, but not the one fans wanted. Drake Maverick peeing himself is NOT what we wanted from Big Show and him being ringside, and only shows Vince is reverting back to being 6 years old. The Cruiserweight Championship match was great, and that Spanish Fly off the table was a nice callback to past matches between them. I’m pleasantly surprised Murphy wins, and that way, Murphy VS Alexander the rematch will happen as we move into December. That way Alexander settles his story with Murphy, and Ali can focus his story on making it to WrestleMania. Ali can then be crowned there for an even bigger moment. Also, I’m glad that the Cruiserweights got to be on the main show, and fairly deep into it. The fans in LA seemed to know and enjoy them, and hopefully this gets more eyes on 205 Live.

Of all the matches Raw definitely should’ve won, it was the Men’s 5v5. Shane did amazing in this match for basically being the high impact player, Raw had to win because Strowman’s path back to Lesnar depended on it. Strowman VS Corbin is coming at TLC for sure, but I’m wondering if Stephanie puts a stipulation that Strowman has to win to get his shot at Lesnar. Then Corbin can use all the tricks up his sleeve to keep Strowman from getting what he wants. One thing I am surprised about is that Orton didn’t attack Mysterio, in the match or after Mysterio was eliminated. That would’ve helped make SmackDown’s losing in the end a bit more acceptable in story because he helped Raw out.

Ronda VS Flair was probably the best thing of the night! And not just because that match was legitimately good, but even the dirty finish made it great. Charlotte basically became Becky in that moment, because I’m pretty sure “The Man” would’ve resorted to something brutal like that, too. I half expected Becky to come out on stage to more or less congratulate Charlotte, but maybe we’ll get that on SmackDown. The fans were really rough, though, being so behind Becky that they basically treated Ronda like she was Nia, aka the one who hurt Becky. If that Horsewomen VS Horsewomen match is still coming around, I’m not sure who is going to be Face anymore just on how fans react, but given how Shayna Baszler, Jessamyn Duke & Marina Shafir are written in NXT, what if Ronda ended up turning, too?

And honestly, I would’ve put Ronda VS Flair on last if that’s how it was going to turn out. It would’ve definitely given the PPV a different feel from ending on how Lesnar VS Bryan ended. Now, I still loved how Lesnar VS Bryan went all the way up until then. Bryan trolling Lesnar, but then toughing it, that was brilliant writing. Bryan is going extra Heel it seems, but against Lesnar, fans don’t mind. I sure didn’t. But because it’s Brock Lesnar, he must win even in kayfabe. This will surely fuel Bryan VS Styles going into TLC, on top of Bryan cheating Styles. As for Lesnar, if Strowman isn’t going to be the one, and Roman Reigns just can’t be the one right now, perhaps the fact they’re teasing Lars Sullivan on main roster means something? Would love to see Lesnar as the victim of a Freak Accident.

My Score: 8.4/10
