The go-home show before Survivor Series was a fun, but uneventful one as there was little hype built for any of the title encounters coming.
Matches:
The Brawling Brutes: Sheamus, Ridge Holland and Pete Dunne w/Drew McIntyre vs. Judgement Day: Damian Priest, Dominik Mysterio and Finn Balor w/Rhea Ripley: The OC got involved, which set up Mysterio to fall via The Brogue Kick.
Johnny Gargano vs. Amos w/MVP: The Mit injured himself during a TikTok, so Omos filled in. Gargano got in some offense and even bloodied Omos’ lip, but The Nigerian Giant won with the One-Handed Chokeslam.
Mustafa Ali vs. Austin Theory: Ali was great, but Theory won with ATL Down. After the match, Lashley got involved and beat on the eventually fleeing Theory. For some reason, Ali ended up in the Hurt Lock by the time it was over.
Matt Riddle and Elias vs. The Alpha Academy: Chad Gable and Otis Dozovic: Otis and Gable made this one. They are fluid a machine as they can be at this point. This one just dragged though. Riddle eventually won with the Top Rope Senton variation.
Drew McIntyre vs. Baron Corbin w/JBL: Another one that dragged. All the offense was there, but it just ran long and the commercial break didn’t help it.
Asuka w/Alexa Bliss and WWE RAW Women’s Champion Bianca Belair vs. Rhea Ripley w/Damage CTRL: Bayley WWE Women’s Tag Team Champion Iyo Sky and Dakota Kai and Nikki Cross: This was dragged out by a lengthy pre-match banter.This was another match that went too long. Soon enough Damage CTRL and Belair and company hit the ring, but Ripley won clean with Riptide to give her team the advantage.
