Following John Cena, Big E and the New Day, and Charlotte Flair fielding questions, Chief Content Officer Paul ‘Triple H’ Levesque sat down to address the assembled media.
“Chicago never disappoints, does it? Okay so quick housekeeping notes. First off some great matches on the pre-show with Shin and McIntyre and then how good is Dolph and how much of a future does Wes Lee have? I think that kid is gonna be a big deal for a long time to come.
As for the main show, what can I say? You go from seeing Cora Jade hang with Charlotte Flair, you have a brutal personal grudge match with Cody and Randy, you have Big E come back and if you thought that crowd popped, you shoulda seen the boys and girls backstage. We managed to keep that one under our hat. Two great War Games matches. Dom hanging with John, another guy who’s gonna be a top star for the next couple decades. I know I’m leaving some guys out here but everyone busted their ass and I’m proud as hell of them.
We’re fortunate not to have any major injuries. Cody needed some stitches but he’s gonna be okay. Business wise, we had a full house with 18,211. I don’t have much else to go over so we’ll turn it over to you all for questions.”

NOVEMBER WEEK 4
ALLSTATE ARENA
CHICAGO, IL
The Bloodline comes out and has a quick strategy discussion. Michael Cole mentions that earlier today that a coin-toss was held and the Bloodline gained the advantage in the match. After a moment, Reigns and the Usos get into their holding area as Solo Sikoa heads to the ring to begin the match.
Team Lashley comes out and shares a staredown with the Bloodline but all three of them get into their holding cell. Roman is concerned and begins looking to the backstage area for their last man.
Keith Lee has returned to WWE and he makes his way down the aisle towards the cage. We have our first pairing.
Lee and Solo immediately go at each other but as strong as Solo is, Lee has the definite power advantage. He throws Sikoa into one side of the cage, then runs him into the other side. They brawl into the 2nd cage as the timer runs down.
Jimmy Uso gets released and for a few minutes Lee pays the price but soon Angelo Dawkins makes it even again.
Jey is next and the three brothers dominate, tying Lee’s arms up in the ropes and hitting multiple double superkicks. Montez is next to be released and at first the Bloodline still holds an active advantage but they lose track of Lee who goes to the top rope, and walks the ropes holding the cage before hitting a cross body block, flattening all three Bloodline members.
Now it’s time for the Tribal Chief but he waits outside the cage door as all three members of Team Lashley await him. But all he’s doing is buying time for his cousins who attack from behind. Roman suddenly grabs the referee at the door and slams him into the cage. Heyman goes through the ref’s pockets and locks the door once Roman enters. Now the full Bloodline go on a rampage, beating down the Profits and then grouping up on Lee, who tries to fight them off but he’s swamped.
Lashley is released and sprints down to the cage but he can’t get in. He looks around frantically and then spots Heyman on the other side of the ring. They lock eyes and Heyman loses all color. Lashley begins chasing him and it doesn’t take long for him to catch the Wiseman. Soon Heyman is begging for mercy as Roman shouts at him not to give him the key, but Heyman doesn’t have a choice, as Lashley rips his expensive suit jacket off him and finds it himself. Lashley walks up the steps and unlocks the door.
WAR GAMES HAS BEGUN!
For the next several minutes the two teams ferociously battle with a few high spots thanks to the Usos and Ford. Lee and Lashley brawl with Roman and Solo and things are looking good for Lashley as he hooks Roman into the Hurt Lock. Reigns can’t escape but just before he’s going to tap, Solo hits a Samoan Spike to break it up. This frees up Reigns and as Ford goes for a double axe handle from the top on Jimmy, Jey connects with a superkick which stands Ford up and lets Roman hit the spear. The rest of Team Lashley is held at bay long enough for a three count.
RESULT: THE BLOODLINE WIN WARGAMES BY PINFALL
Following a physical and oftentimes dangerous battle, the Bloodline stand tall and salute their fans with their index fingers in the air.
A video recap is shown of the history leading to tonight’s rubber match between Cody Rhodes and Randy Orton.
The two circle each other for a moment before they go to war. The rope and the bell come into play several times, and early in the match Cody is busted open with the bell. The referee tells Orton to step back while he checks on him but at the same time, Orton recognizes there’s no DQ and he runs in, clotheslining Cody into the corner and begins stomping him when he sinks to the mat.
Orton keeps up the attack, further opening up the cut in the top of Cody’s head but Cody keeps fighting, kicking out of each pin attempt. Orton puts him on the top rope and moves up for a superplex but Rhodes fires right hands and shoves Orton back to the mat. He gathers the rope and jumps off, clotheslining Randy with the bull rope but it only gets a two count.
They continue to pull out all the stops until they’re standing face to face in the ring just punching each other in the face. Orton hits a punch and immediately goes for an RKO but Cody shoves him away. Orton whips Rhodes into the ropes with the aid of the rope but Cody jumps up and springboards off with a Cody Cutter. The crowd is on their feet as their blood runs down his face. He wraps the rope around Orton’s throat and rains down right hands before muscling Orton onto his feet and hits a CrossRhodes onto the Cowbell for the win.
RESULT: CODY RHODES WINS BY PINFALL
The referee removes the rope from Cody’s wrist and he climbs the ropes, holding the rope and the bloody bell high in the air to the fans’ cheers. The American Nightmare has finally dispatched himself of The Viper!
We see a split screen of both Women’s War Games teams preparing for their match later tonight.
These two ring veterans put on a move for move performance where little is settled in the first half of the match.
Half way through the match both the OC and the LWO come down to the ring.
Gallows and Anderson pick a fight with Escobar, Cruz, and Del Toro, getting the referee’s attention. It’s at this point Styles, who has Mysterio down, calls Michin into the ring and holds out his hand. She hesitates, before she begins to hand over what looks like brass knuckles.
Zelina Vega slides in and stands between AJ and Styles. He turns and threatens to hit her and that’s when Michin makes her decision, as she drops to as knee and low blows AJ from behind. He falls to his knees, holding himself as Mysterio gets to his feet and takes the match over. Rey hits his usual offense, ending the match with the 619.
RESULT: REY MYSTERIO WINS BY PINFALL
Following the match, the OC are furious and confront Michin but she’s in no mood for any of them and stands up for herself. All three men aren’t sure what to do, but she then kicks Gallows low and as the big man falls she storms away. Neither Styles nor Anderson are in a hurry to follow her.
Byron Saxton has John Cena in Gorilla. Cena reemphasizes an apology to his good friend Rey for what he’s going to do to his boy because he’s going to give him the ass whooping he’s had coming for a long time. Dominik may be Mami’s Dom Dom, but in a few moment’s, he is going to be Cena’s bitch. No more games, son…it’s time to man up. The Champ - Is - Here!!!
Cena’s strength plays a big role starting out as he throws Mysterio around in the opening minutes, frustrating his younger challenger. When Mysterio gets back into the ring following a regrouping moment on the outside, he uses his quickness to attack the champ with success.
Dominik stuns Cena with a standing Enziguri before hitting a running kneelift which catches Cena under the chin. Cena battles back, hitting a few body punches, then a few clotheslines, then his running shoulder blocks before planting Dom on his back and signaling it’s time for the Five Knuckle Shuffle.
Finn Balor and Damian Priest come down the aisle and stand at ringside that cause an instant distraction for Cena and Dom takes advantage, blindsiding the champion with a forearm to the back of the head, knocking him to the floor.
As Dominik keeps the referee busy, Balor and Priest put a beating on Cena, with Balor hitting the Slingblade before rolling the champ back into the ring. Dom hits the three amigos suplexes and climbs to the top and gives an Eddie wiggle before flying off for his frog splash but at the last minute Cena rolls out of the way and Dominik bellyflops off the mat. Cena kips up just as Balor and Damian get on the apron. The champ nails both men who fall to the floor and when Mysterio turns, Cena scoops him up and delivers an Attitude Adjustment for a three count.
RESULT: JOHN CENA RETAINS THE WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP BY PINFALL
John Cena is almost instantly swarmed by Finn Balor and Damian Priest. They get some shots in, along with Dom but then the crowd pops.
Seth Freakin Rollins is back too, and he has a chair in hand. He slides in, cracking all three members of the Judgment Day before helping Cena to his feet. The two shake hands as Judgment Day heads up the aisle vowing revenge.
Kayla Braxton is backstage in Gorilla with Charlotte Flair. She begins to repeat what Cora Jade said on the Bump but Charlotte stops her and says she knows what she said. She also can still feel that slap from Smackdown. Tonight, the Queen shows the world what happens to pretenders to the throne.
Charlotte is taking off her robe when Cora jumps her from behind and the first several minutes of the match has the champion on her heels as Jade hits her with offense from every possible angle, getting a close two count following a bulldog off the second rope.
Flair tries to clear the cobwebs and stops Jade with a kick to the stomach, then sends her into the corner post shoulder-first. Flair then brings her out into the middle of the ring and kicks her knee out to force her into a kneeling position and hits Natural Selection but Jade kicks out.
Charlotte’s demeanor changes and he gets more aggressive, chopping Jade nearly a dozen times in the corner before whipping her to the opposite corner and then hitting a boot to the face. She goes for the pin but Jade kicks out.
Charlotte begins working over Jade’s left leg, and locks in the Figure Eight. Cora fights to get out of it and barely drags them both to the ropes where she grabs the bottom rope. Now Charlotte seems incensed. She drags Cora to the corner before leaving the ring and applies the figure four around the ring post. She breaks just before the referee’s five count. Cora is definitely hurt and she tries to scurry away, but the left leg is too damaged. Charlotte slides in and chop blocks her behind that knee before re-applying the Figure Eight again and this time Cora has to submit.
RESULT: CHARLOTTE FLAIR RETAINS THE WWE WOMEN’S CHAMPIONSHIP BY SUBMISSION
The Bloodline is walking backstage and they’re in a good mood, even Heyman who still looks disheveled and slightly traumatized after his run in with Bobby Lashley. The smiles fade as they come to a stop. The camera pans over.
Cody Rhodes stands his ground, even if outnumbered. He looks at the title on Roman’s shoulder, shows Roman his Money in the Bank briefcase. Nobody says a word before officials arrive on the scene but no fight breaks out. Cody walks away and it’s Roman who is left looking uncomfortable.
Imperium is in the ring awaiting Gunther’s open challenge opponent.
Stephanie McMahon comes out and says she’d like to introduce his opponent.
Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods come out and do a little dance with Stephanie before both face the ring, then take a few steps apart.
In what can only be called a shocking moment, the crowd is on their feet as Big E makes his way to the ring. The crowd is uniformly doing the Daniel Bryan ‘Yes!’ chants. There are those in the crowd who are legit crying tears of joy as the powerhouse of the New Day enters the ring that everyone thought he would never step foot in again.
Corey Graves says he cannot believe what he’s seeing but ‘E’ looks in tremendous shape and it does appear that miracles do happen, as Big E has been cleared for action!
It’s obvious that this is the last opponent Gunther expected or trained for. And while the champion is strong, Big E is on another level and looks to be in fantastic shape. He muscles Gunther into the corner and wears him out with shoulder blocks before delivering a big scoop slam.
Gunther takes Big E’s legs out and begins a ground and pound with heavy forearms, but Big E rolls him over and gives him the same treatment. E whips Gunther into the corner and charges but eats a big boot followed by a lariat.
For the next few minutes, Gunther looks as dominant as ever, laying into his challenger with thundering chops. Big E looks like he’s hitting a wall. Gunther backs up and runs into the corner but Big E dodges out of the way and Gunther crashes into the corner. He backs up, holding his abdomen where he hit the turnbuckles and walks into Big E who scoops him up and delivers the Big Ending. He makes the cover….

Kickout!
Big E begins to look deflated but then his expression changes into one of determination. He gets up, arms shaking. He brings Gunther back up to his feet and presses the champion over his head. Big E walks around the ring with Gunther in that position before slamming him to the mat. Now Big E is feeling it and he pulls down his straps and begins the clap with the crowd chiming in.
‘New…Day Rocks!’
‘New…Day Rocks!’
Gunther, his face etched with pain and exhaustion, gets to his feet before he’s scooped up again for a second Big Ending.

RESULT: BIG E WINS THE INTERCONTINENTAL CHAMPIONSHIP BY PINFALL
BIG E HAS DONE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Kofi and Xavier are instantly in the ring and the three best friends all hug as Big E is handed the Intercontinental Championship. Big E has tears in his eyes when he is lifted into the air on the shoulders of his best friend. Cole stresses that Gunther’s record breaking reign is over and perhaps the biggest comeback story in WWE history has happened before our eyes. We have a NEW Intercontinental Champion!!
The Brand is very confident, some might say too confident, as Waller begins against Knight. Waller hits a stabbing dropkick on Knight then immediately turns to his brethren to show off, but Knight is up and as soon as Waller turns back, he’s nailed with BFT for a very quick and early elimination.
Theory comes in and doesn’t make the same mistake as Waller. He gets Knight in their corner and The Brand is able to take advantage of quick tags. Logan Paul shows off his incredible athleticism, but he goes for a springboard moonsault and Knight gets the knees up. He makes the tag to Hayes and Carmelo turns the tables, isolating Paul in their corner and letting Ilja and Butch to take turns punishing the US Champion. Paul is eventually whipped into the ropes by Dragunov but he reverses it. Ilja ducks a clothesline and then rebounds off the ropes, nailing Paul with Torpedo Moscow for another elimination.
Theory and McAfee seem to be arguing about who’s going next with Theory reentering the ring. He shows off what he can do in the ring, getting several close falls on Ilja, who keeps kicking out. Theory hoists him for A-Town Down but he doesn’t notice Hayes has tagged in. Carmelo yanks Ilja down off Theory’s shoulders, kicks him in the gut and hits the HIMplex. Pat McAfee is all alone!
McAfee knows he’s in trouble and he’s in there with Butch. McAfee plays a hit and run game, making Butch chase him outside where he suckers Butch in with a kick to the gut before slinging him into the barricade.
Sheamus and Ridge Holland come down to the ring, yelling at Butch to get up and fight. He responds, pulling himself up as McAfee gets in the ring. When the ref turns to admonish Pat, Ridge turns Butch around and Sheamus nails him with a Brogue Kick. They roll Butch back in and McAfee makes a cover for a cheap elimination.
McAfee doesn’t have much time to celebrate as Knight is back in the ring and finally gets his hands on the man who betrayed him at Summerslam. Knight relishes every ounce of the beating he gives Mcafee who is bumping around like crazy to the crowd’s delight. McAfee is worn out and falls victim to a Nothing But Net from Hayes, another Torpedo Moscow from Dragunov and finally Knight gives him some Blunt Force Trauma.
RESULT: LA Knight, Ilja Dragunov and Carmello Hayes survive
As Knight, Dragunov, and Hayes celebrate, two officials help McAfee walk back down the aisle. McAfee flips off the victors just before he disappears backstage.
A video recap is shown hyping tonight’s main event, the Women’s War Games match.
In an unusual move, Lynch and Ripley both start the match and as soon as the cage door is locked, they go tooth and nail at each other. Showing no regard for their own safety, let alone their opponent’s, both women employ the cage and some high flying, Becky hitting a cross body off the top and Rhea a powerbomb. As the timer ticks down, Graves tells us that team Mami has the advantage.
Zoey Stark is the first woman released and she and Ripley beat the hell out of Lynch for a few minutes until Liv Morgan enters and the match settles down. Liv ends up pairing with Rhea and holding her own, while Becky finds a second wind against Zoey.
Piper Niven gets released and immediately makes an impact, hitting an avalanche on Morgan and allowing Rhea to move back towards Becky. Raquel Rodriguez is next and she immediately protects her friend Liv and goes toe to toe with Niven. Liv moves to Zoey as Rhea and Becky continue to brawl. Rhea goes to the top but Becky catches her and delivers a Becksploder from the top rope!
Shayna Baszler is next and the Submission Magician strikes all of her opponents but finally settles on Rodriguez. Liv is pummeled by Niven in the corner as Becky contends again with Rhea and Zoey. Lita enters the match and goes right to the top. When Rhea and Zoey turn, she flies off with a cross body block.
Ronda Rousey is the last member of Team Mami to enter the match and she makes an immediate impact by downing Rodriguez, Lita, and Morgan with powerful judo suplexes. Team Mami is united and begin picking the bones of their fallen enemies until Trish Stratus runs down and gets in the cage.
WAR GAMES HAS BEGUN!
The Hall of Famer stuns all of them with old fashioned right hands followed by a series of Chick Kicks. Team Man and Team Mami all get to their feet looking at each other from about ten feet away. Everyone’s ready for battle and all ten women charge at each other, beating the hell out of one another.
Lita and Trish work in tandem taking Piper and Zoey out of it. Becky and Ronda tangle in the corner while Shayna and Raquel are standing on the top rope, exchanging punches as they hang onto the cage. Shayna tries for a jumping knee, but Raquel catches her and delivers a Tejana Bomb to the mat but Rhea breaks up the pinfall. Liv jumps on Rhea’s back with a sleeper but Rhea runs backwards, crushing her in the corner.
Lita grabs Zoey from behind, and Trish lets loose with a Chick Kick, but Zoey moves and she connects with Lita. Before Trish can react, Piper bowls her over from behind. Lita is stunned and stagers back right into Rhea who scoops her up and delivers Riptide before stacking Lita for the pin.
RESULT: TEAM MAMI WINS WAR GAMES BY PINFALL
Team Mami celebrates in the ring as the show goes off the air but from the look on Becky Lynch’s face, a battle may have been won tonight, but this is not the end of the war.
Goodnight from Survivor Series War Games! -

The show opens with a video recap of Roman Reigns accepting the War Games challenge on behalf of the Bloodline.
NOVEMBER WEEK 4
ALL STATE ARENA
CHICAGO, IL
The show begins with Adam Pearce walking into the locker room of Bobby Lashley and the Street Profits. He tells them by the end of the night he needs to know their fourth man or the match is off. They say they understand and he leaves but they look nervous.
Charlotte Flair is walking backstage when she comes face to face with her opponent tomorrow night, Cora Jade. They silently stare each other down for a moment before Charlotte leans in and begins to WOOOO, but Cora slaps her right across the face and leaves.
Charlotte stands there, her hand on her cheek, and fire in her eyes.
RIDGE HOLLAND VS CAMERON GRIMES
*Holland’s power works for him early on, but Grimes digs down and makes a comeback. He uses Holland’s aggression against him, and when Ridge misses a charge into the corner, Grimes rolls him up for a flash pin.
RESULT: CAMERON GRIMES WINS BY PINFALL
The OC is backstage and Michin finally gets their attention and says she wants to know what’s going on. Why did they attack the LWO? Why did they act that way with Rey? This isn’t what they do or what they stand for.
AJ gets in her face and tells her she has two options. Shut up and do what she’s told or get the hell out.
Styles and the Good Brothers walk off and leave her to make her decision.
Grayson Waller invites us to the Grayson Waller Effect and his guests are his fellow members of The Brand. They spend the next few minutes mocking LA Knight and his team, promising to eliminate and embarrass all of them tomorrow night. They then hype tonight’s main event, a non-title match between Knight and Logan Paul. Paul is extra douchey promising that he’ll knock Knight right out of Survivor Series before it even begins.
TAMINA W/NAOMI VS ZELINA VEGA
*Tamina overpowers Zelina early on and Naomi at ringside doesn’t help much either for Zelina to get back into the match. But Zelina keeps fighting. Naomi gets on the apron to distract her but Zelina sees Tamina charging from behind and moves. Tamina slams on the brakes and barely avoids Naomi, until Zelina dropkicks her in the back and she bangs heads with Naomi, knocking her off the apron. Tamina falls back and Zelina hits the springboard moonsault for the win.
RESULT: ZELINA VEGA WINS BY PINFALL
Kayla is backstage with LA Knight and his team. She asks them how they can unite against a group like The Brand who already has so much cohesion. Knight says the only cohesion The Brand has is because they’re all asses. His team, however, are fighters. They’re united in a single cause, to eliminate The Brand one by one until they survive. And tonight we’ll see a preview of that. Yeah!
COLBY CORINO AND NOAM DAR VS AOP W/WILLIAM REGAL
*The AOP make quick work of Corino and Dar, punishing their smaller opponents before they win with the Final Chapter.
RESULT: AOP WINS BY PINFALL
In their locker room, Bobby Lashley and the Street Profits are all on their cellphones, apparently trying to find a fourth partner.
BAYLEY VS IYO SKY
*A very good match between these two former friends. They both get in equal offense and Iyo is building momentum when Bayley stops her with a knee to the gut and hits a quick Rose Plant.

2
Kickout!
* Bayley backs off Iyo and begins arguing with the referee. Behind the ref’s back, Lacey Evans slides into the ring.
*She cocks her fist back and when Iyo gets to her feet, she spins her around and delivers a Woman’s Right. Lacey slides out of the ring and Bayley drops her argument and makes the cover.
RESULT: BAYLEY WINS BY PINFALL
Kayla Braxton is backstage with Rey Mysterio. Rey says he doesn’t know what’s gotten into AJ and his guys. He thought they were cool. But he needs to learn a lesson. You do not disrespect a man’s familia. Tomorrow night, Rey is going to teach AJ a hall of fame level lesson and that’s a promise.
NON TITLE MATCH
LA KNIGHT VS LOGAN PAUL
*Knight lights up Paul from the opening bell and the United States Champion needs to take several powders to the outside.
*Finally Knight follows and he’s suckered into a trap. Paul peppers him with punches to the body, softening him up but when he goes for a knockout punch, Knight ducks it. Paul turns around, right into a BFT. but Paul rolls out of the ring.
*Pat McAfee runs down to ringside, and picks up Logan, who’s on spaghetti legs and helps him back down the aisle. Knight isn’t happy about a count out, but he’ll take it tonight.
RESULT: LA KNIGHT WINS BY COUNTOUT
Cole and Barrett run down the Smackdown matches for this Saturday’s Survivor Series.
When we return from the break. the Bloodline will be here to settle the question of who is the fourth man?
We don’t have long to wait because the Bloodline team comes down to the ring. Heyman gets on the mic and demands that Lashley and the Profits come out and tell them who their last teammate is, but instead…..
Adam Pearce comes out to the beginning of the aisle and tells Heyman that he is in charge here, not the Wiseman. He asks Lashley to come out.
The trio comes out and Pearce asks them if they have a fourth man. Lashley says they do. Pearce asks him who it is. Lashley and the Profits share a glance and Lashley then leans over to Pearce, putting his hand over the mic as he tells him.
Pearce begins to smile and announces that at Survivor Series tomorrow night it will be four on four inside War Games!
Roman and his cousins look concerned as Heyman is screaming “WHO IS IT?!” as the show goes off the air.
-
Who is the fourth man?
We’re 24 hours from Survivor Series and Team Lashley still is officially one man short. Smackdown Managing Director Adam Pearce has ordered Lashley and the Street Profits to name their last partner. Meanwhile the Bloodline prepares for war and the Wiseman Paul Heyman promises they’ll call out Lashley and the Profits to find out once and for all.
As we head towards Survivor Series we now know we’re in store for an old school elimination match between The Brand and LA Knight and his team. This week, the Brand will be the special guests on an episode of The Grayson Waller Effect. What else could Pat McAfee possibly say about Knight and his teammates? Tune in and find out.

NOVEMBER WEEK 4
WINTRUST ARENA
CHIGAGO, IL
Rhea Ripley and her team come down to the ring. She says that she has to give credit where it’s due. She really didn’t think Becky Lynch would find four people stupid enough to want to go into War Games against her and this team but amazingly she did. Now comes the bad part for them. They have to step into those cages with the most dangerous assortment of women this sport has ever known. They’re not going to be satisfied with just winning War Games, no, this time they’re going to tear and rip and maul and break everyone in their way. Becky and her team won’t be fighting to win, they’ll be fighting to survive!
A vignette is shown highlighting Bianca Belair and her short but incredible career.
NATALYA VS NIKKI CROSS
*A hard hitting and physical match in which both women give as good as they get. Nikki’s crazy nature gets her an early advantage, but she’s not happy with it and sets up a table at ringside. After battering Natalya at ringside she puts her on the table and goes to the top. But Natalya moves and Nikki crashes through the table. Natalya gets in just before the referee’s ten count. The camera catches a glimpse of Cross smiling as she lays in the remnants of the table.
RESULT: NATALYA WINS BY COUNTOUT
Kelly Kinkaid is with Cora Jade. She says this Saturday the Queen will be dethroned. She’s the future, she’s the next generation, and she’s tired of people like Charlotte Flair thinking their time isn’t over. You’re looking at the next WWE Women’s Champion. It’s the Generation of Jade.
ZELINA VEGA VS GIGI DOLIN
*Zelina and Gigi trade the momentum back and forth, but half way through Dolin’s expression changes into something more stern and she lays into Zelina for several minutes before slapping on the STF for the win.
RESULT: GIGI DOLIN WINS BY SUBMISSION
KATANA CHANCE AND KAYDEN CARTER VS EMMA AND CHELSEA GREEN
*Chance and Carter show how good of a team they are, controlling the match. Green’s comedic and crowd interactions give the match a small boost of entertainment. That doesn’t save her from Total Elimination and the loss.
RESULT: KATANA CHANCE AND KAYDEN CARTER WIN BY PINFALL
Becky Lynch and her team come down to the ring and none of them are smiling, even Liv. Becky says Rhea Ripley and her team are certainly confident. They think they’ve won before the cage door has even slammed shut. Survivor Series, War Games, is not the time to count chickens before they hatch because a lot of bad things can happen in that cage. Moonsaults off the top. Tejada Bombs into the steel. Arms can get ripped out of their socket and Stratusfaction can strike anywhere. She looks at Liv with a hint of a smirk. And the people who are so confident can find themselves in ObLIVion. Becky won’t promise victory, but she will promise pain and suffering.
The five women put their fists together, SHIELD-style to close the show.
-
I'm hoping HHH's presser will have a variety of questions concerning the state of the industry as a whole.

Last week’s show is recapped including Bobby Lashley’s War Games challenge, the debut of AOP and the shocking return of William Regal, and Ding Dong Hello! which saw Cora Jade be announced as the newest female Superstar on Smackdown and came face to face with WWE Women's Champion Charlotte Flair.
NOVEMBER WEEK 3
FORD CENTER
EVANSVILLE, IN
The Brand comes to the ring and are very full of themselves, even more than usual. McAfree plays up his connection to the nearby Indianapolis Colts and has the fans on his side for a minute. He says that he was inspired so much by these three fine gentlemen he decided he’s going to be part of this match at Survivor Series. That is, of course, if LA Knight can find some partners. But let’s be optimistic and assume he does. Let’s up the ante even more. Let’s make it a traditional Survivor Series elimination match! But don’t get too excited, because it probably won’t…..
LA Knight comes out and Ilja Dragunov is right by his side. Knight says he’s glad to see The Brand so optimistic because he’s optimistic too. He’s optimistic that at Survivor Series he’s going to kick each and every one of their asses. Dragunov nudges him and indicates he is too. Knight says that’s two but they need a couple guys who would like to join in the ass kicking. Luckily, he knows someone.
Carmelo Hayes and Butch walk out. Now the Brand goes from cocky to a little concerned and talking amongst themselves. Hayes and Butch stand next to Knight and Dragunov as the eight men stare each other down as the commercial break begins.
A replay of the show’s opening is shown in which the eight man tag is officially a traditional Survivor Series elimination match. We then find out who else is on LA Knight’s team. Michael Cole tells us during the break Adam Pearce made two matchups to begin the show.
CARMELO HAYES VS AUSTIN THEORY
*A good match which sees the momentum switch back and forth. Theory gets the advantage but as he often does he begins talking too much and Hayes makes him pay for it.
*Hayes shows off insane athleticism, and Theory doesn’t know where the next attack is coming from. When Theory is all but worn out, Hayes hits a scissor kick, then the HIM-Plex for the win.
RESULT: CARMELO HAYES WINS BY PINFALL
As soon as the bell rings, Grayson Waller runs down to the ring and tackles Hayes. Soon, Theory and Waller are getting in some cheap shots on Hayes but it doesn’t last long….
Butch runs down and once it’s two on two, the Brand thinks twice. As the officials get Hayes and Theory to the back, our next matchup will happen after the break. Butch takes on Grayson Waller…next!
Coming back from the break, the Bloodline is in their lounge. Everyone is tense and either looking at the floor or at Roman. Heyman begins to talk, several times, but can’t utter a noise. Finally Roman looks at him and asks him what he wants to say. Heyman blathers platitudes and then asks if Roman has made his decision. Roman looks away and nods, but doesn’t say what it is. The room continues in silence.
BUTCH VS GRAYSON WALLER
*Butch is a wildman and early on it pays off for him as Waller doesn’t know what to do with him or his attacks.
*That changes when Butch gets crotched on the top rope when he goes for a high risk attack. Waller shows excellent athleticism by jumping up and nailing a superplex. From there he works over Butch’s neck, and although the brute stages a late comeback, Waller takes advantage of another mistake and hits the Down Under DDT for the win.
RESULT: GRAYSON WALLER WINS BY PINFALL
Kayla Braxton is backstage and approaches William Regal and the AOP. She welcomes them all back to the WWE and asks what the WWE Universe can expect from them. Regal is all smiles. He says that the expectations are simple. A lot of pain and an absence of mercy. These two men have spent months, years, unable to release the violence which lives in their black hearts. Now like the conductor of a fine orchestra, he will get it out of them and what beautiful music they’ll make.
Sheamus and Ridge Holland find Butch backstage who isn’t happy about losing. They tell him they’re not happy finding out about this Survivor Series business with Knight and The Brand. The Brawling Brutes take a backseat to no one. There is tension until Sheamut puts a hand on Butch’s shoulder and tells him they can’t wait to watch him kick those four pompous arse’s. The Brutes share a group hug and are on the same page and united again.
ISLA DAWN VS BIANCA BELAIR
*Bianca is in no mood, and she takes it out on Isla from the opening bell. Dawn can barely mount an offense as Bianca uses non-stop aggression, ending it with a KOD.
RESULT: BIANCA BELAIR WINS BY PINFALL
Before Bianca can even get her arm raised, the tron flashes with an image of Jake Roberts in the Snake Pit. He says he’s happy to see how angry Bianca has been for weeks since Crown Jewel. He can feel it, it’s palpable, and it’s the anger which will be her downfall.
Next week, his Empress of Darkness will return to Smackdown and if Bianca wants to unleash that anger, she won’t be hard to find.
The OC are walking down the hallway, and Michin looks troubled. She tells AJ she needs to talk to him about last week but before she can go on….
A pissed off Rey Mysterio walks up to them and then directly to AJ. They’re face to face as Rey asks what the hell they were doing last week. It was a friendly match, it was an honest match and then they attacked the LWO? Is that what the OC stands for now? Not only is Rey angry, but he’s disappointed in AJ. This is a matter of honor now and he challenges AJ to a match at Survivor Series.
AJ looks to Gallows and Anderson and they all start chuckling. Styles says he accepts but Rey better watch himself. While Rey and AJ are locked in a staredown, Gallows hammers him with a big right hand and soon the Good Brothers are stomping the Hall of Famer as Styles watches and Michin tells them to stop. Styles and his boys walk away but before Michin can check on Rey….
Zelina Vega arrives on the scene and tells her to get the hell away from Rey. Michin hesitates but walks away.
KYLE FLETCHER VS OMOS W/MVP
*Omos toys with Fletcher showing off his incredible strength before putting him down with a double handed chokeslam.
RESULT: OMOS WINS BY PINFALL
Kayla Braxton is waiting outside the Bloodline Lounge. When Paul Heyman exits she immediately puts a microphone in his face, asking what Roman will do tonight. Heyman is flustered, sweating and stammers out an answer that the Tribal Chief will do exactly what he wants to do. When pressed, Heyman scowls at her, and storms away.
BOBBY LASHLEY VS SHEAMUS
*Calling this match physical doesn’t give it credit. These two beat the hell out of each other with power versus power.
*Sheamus at one point hits White Noise but gets a two count. He sets up Lashley for a Brogue Kick, but Lashley ducks it, hits the ropes and hits a spear for the win.
RESULT: BOBBY LASHLEY WINS BY PINFALL
Lashley shows his thanks to the fans with a wave and begins to exit the ring……
The Undisputed WWE Universal Champion comes from the back, by himself. Once the music ends, he stops half way down the aisle. He and Lashley silently stare each other down as Lashley awaits the answer to his challenge. Finally, Roman just gives him a simple nod of acceptance and the crowd erupts.
Cole and Barrett hype the now-official War Games match pitting the Bloodline against Lashley and the Profits but Barrett raises the question as the show ends.
Who is their fourth man?
-
Will he or won’t he?
Live from the Ford Center in Evansville, we await the decision of Roman Reigns. Last week, the Almighty Bobby Lashley and the Street Profits challenged the Bloodline to War Games. This week, the Tribal Chief will give his answer and either way, this conflict continues to brew just eight days from the Survivor Series. While he waits, Lashley will take on Sheamus in a hard hitting main event this week.
The Brand and LA Knight have been on a collision course since Summerslam. Last week Pat McAfee let it be known that he’s throwing himself into the challenged match making it an eight man tag. LA Knight has to find some partners quickly. The Brand will kick off the show in ‘McAfee Country’, Evansville, Indiana. Does Knight have an answer or will The Brand never be shut up?

NOVEMBER WEEK 3
MASS MUTUAL CENTER
SPRINGFIELD, MA
We see a split screen from “earlier today” of Women’s World Champion Becky Lynch and Rhea Ripley arriving at the show.
Kelly Kinkaid is with Lacey Evans backstage. Evans doesn't even let her ask a question. She says things haven’t been going well lately but she is picking herself up and coming back stronger because that’s what real Americans do. She then goes on to say she isn’t done cleaning up the riff raff around here.
STEVIE TURNER VS MICHIN
*A good match that allows Turner to get in some offense, mainly because Michin seems distracted. But she recovers and regains the momentum, getting the win following Seoul Food.
RESULT: MICHIN WINS BY PINFALL
A vignette of some highlights of Liv Morgan is shown
VALHALLA VS TEAGAN NOX
*Teagan puts up more of a fight than Valhalla expects and grows more frustrated as the match goes on. When she draws Nox to the outside, Valhalla hits a flapjack, then grabs Corey Graves’ chair and whacks Teagan over the back. She continues to wear out the chair until referees force her away.
RESULT: TEAGAN NOX WINS BY DISQUALIFICATION
ROXANNE PEREZ VS BAYLEY
*Perez is spirited and puts up a fight, but Bayley is a ring veteran and she finally shuts down Roxanne with a stiff back elbow. From there Bayley controls, while taking trash to Cole at ringside before ending things with the Rose Plant.
RESULT: BAYLEY WINS BY PINFALL
Becky doesn’t have to wait long for her nemesis.
Rhea takes her sweet time coming down to the ring and once both women are in, the crowd is electric. Becky says Rhea wanted this so go ahead and talk. Rhea runs down their history and how this is not the Man’s division, this is Mami’s and when you have such powerful poles there is only one way to decide who is the best and that is to go…to…war. Rhea challenges Becky to find a team of five to meet her in War Games.
Becky says she could say it’s short notice, a week and a half away. She could say she has nothing to prove to anyone, let alone Rhea Ripley because she’s got the belt and that means this IS the Man’s division. Yea, she could say that, but it is an enticing challenge, so yes, Team Man vs Team Mami.
Rhea and Becky approach and shake hands with a dual level of respect and disgust when Rhea says she forgot something. She’s already got her team.
From over the barrier, four women emerge.
Becky looks around at the four and Rhea takes advantage of still being close to her and headbutts her in the face. Rousey, Baszler, Niven, and Stark slide in and it’s five on one. Becky puts up a fight but it is truly too much and after they take turns, ending with a Riptide, all five stand over Becky’s broken body with their arms raised.

A video recap of Crown Jewel is shown highlighting the United States Championship match, the Women’s battle royal which saw Cora Jade become the number one contender, and the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship match in which Roman Reigns again walked away thanks to his Bloodline.
NOVEMBER WEEK 2
NATIONWIDE ARENA
COLUMBUS, OH
The Bloodline comes down to the ring and they are in a joyous mood. Roman says he doesn’t even need the people of Columbus to acknowledge him because he just had an entire kingdom do that. And just as he predicted he put Bobby Lashley down 1-2-3. So now that’s over, its the past, now it’s time to look forw…….
Bobby Lashley and the Street Profits come out from the back. Lashley says Roman may want to turn the page but it doesn’t work like that. Time after time, the Bloodline has saved his title. Time after time they’ve gotten involved in matches. Lashley tells Roman that if his boys want to get involved so bad, there’s a solution for that. This is bigger than that title, it’s personal now. As a matter of fact, it’s war.
The crowd begins to buzz as that remark hits home with Roman.
Lashley says it’s time to settle this…inside War Games!
The crowd explodes but as Roman begins to answer, Heyman whispers something in his ear. Roman nods and says he’ll think about it as a staredown commences.
Following the commercial breaks, a replay of the War Games challenge is shown. When we go back live, the Bloodline are filing into their Lounge to discuss the matter.
IYO SKY VS LACEY EVANS
*Iyo and Lacey split the early minutes of the match with even offense. Iyo begins building momentum, putting Lacey on the defense. They go to the outside where Iyo hits a hurricanrana off the apron. When they get into the ring, Lacey quickly uses the referee to shield herself.
*Lacey hits the Woman’s Right as a cheapshot over the ref’s shoulder and makes the cover. Iyo gets her foot on the rope at the two count but the referee doesn’t notice but Lacey does and quickly knocks it off the rope before the three count.
RESULT: LACEY EVANS WINS BY PINFALL
The Brand is psyching up Austin Theory ahead of his match tonight versus Ilja Dragunov. Cole mentions it looks like a frat party and Barrett shoots back how would Cole know, he wasn’t ever invited to one.
Kayla Braxton is waiting outside the Bloodline Lounge when Paul Heyman exits. She asks him if he has an answer to the challenge of Bobby Lashley for War Games. Heyman smirks and says the Tribal Chief will deliver the answer next week on Smackdown.
The Rough Riders are in the ring and awaiting their mystery opponents. The arena goes dark and again we see vignette on the tron of a black screen, then the twin silhouettes of two large men. When the lights come back on they’re standing at the entrance of the aisle.
Barrett pops for the return of the Authors of Pain as they stomp towards the ring. The AOP is back and looks mean as ever.
THE ROUGH RIDERS VS AOP
*AOP dominates their return match, roughing up both Storm and Grimes. The match comes to an end when they hit the Final Chapter, a combination Russian Leg Sweep and Lariat.
RESULT: AOP WIN BY PINFALL
The AOP are in the ring, hulking over their opponents when the sound of clapping comes over the mic.
“Very good gentlemen, very good indeed.”
From the back, a third man steps out into the aisle looking smug.
William Regal has returned and as AOP leaves the ring and stands beside him it’s clear he’s calling the shots. Michael Cole says this is bad news for everyone as we go to break.
Bayley is in the ring and welcomes us to the return of Ding Dong, Hello! Tonight she has a huge guest, someone who made a splash at Crown Jewel and quite possibly, the next WWE Women’s Champion. Smackdown’s newest female Superstar….Cora Jade!
Jade comes out and says that it’s a pleasure being introduced by a true role model, but she has to correct Bayley on one thing. She WILL be the next WWE Women’s Champion. When she looked into Charlotte’s eyes, she saw fear. Charlotte knows that Cora is the biggest threat she’s ever faced and……
Charlotte comes down to the ring. She tells Cora that it wasn’t fear she saw it was a mixture of admiration for a job well done and excitement for a new challenge but she wants Cora to look her in the eye and see what she sees now. That’s right, its determination. Good luck, little girl, you’re going to need it! Woooooo!
Charlotte leaves the ring, and poses for the fans. What she doesn’t see is Cora who makes a springboard dive off the top rope and dropkicks Flair in the back. Cora quickly continues her attack, sending Charlotte into the stairs. Bayley cheers her on from the ring as Cora backs up the aisle with her arms out and Charlotte is down holding her shoulder.
AUSTIN THEORY W/PAT MCAFEE VS ILJA DRAGUNOV
*Dragunov lights up Theory with stiff chops that redden and then eventually break the skin. Theory can’t seem to do much as Dragunov uses a balance of hard hitting strikes and suplexes to send Theory to the outside to get advice from McAfee.
*Once he’s back in the match settles into a back and forth and Theory takes advantage of a McAfee distraction. He goes for A-Town Down but Dragunov slips off his shoulders and bounds off the ropes but McAfee trips him. Dragunov reaches through the ropes for McAfee, allowing Theory to hit a running knee to the back and then finally hit A-Town Down for the win.
RESULT: AUSTIN THEORY WINS BY PINFALL
Paul and Waller run down and now it’s a four on one beatdown. This goes on for a few moments until….
LA Knight runs down and for a moment he’s hitting every Brand member in sight but then he focuses on McAfee. Before he can hit Blunt Force Trauma, Paul lands a huge right hand and knocks him out cold. Now it’s four on two and it takes a horde of officials to get them out of the ring leaving Dragunov and Knight down.
On the outside of the ring, McAfee gets a mic and says Knight better find two new partners because he’s decided to be in the match too. Barrett questions who Knight can get to be in this eight man tag after seeing what a united Brand can do.
Kayla Braxton is standing by with Bianca Belair. Bianca says she knew Asuka was trouble but at Crown Jewel she crossed the line. If she thinks Bianca is scared, she doesn’t know the EST. The next time she sees the Empress, she’s gonna show her what happens when the light conquers the dark.
NAOMI VS ZELINA VEGA
*A good open match between these two which sees Zelina frustrate Naomi with her never say die attitude. Naomi nearly loses on a roll up when she begins to complain to the referee.
*As the match drags on, Naomi is increasingly reliant on questionable tactics to keep Zelina on defense, the last one being an ‘accidental’ eye poke according to Barrett. It opens the door for Naomi to hit the Rear View and she scores the win over it.
RESULT: NAOMI WINS BY PINFALL
THE OC VS THE LWO
*Both teams control the match and trade the advantage back and forth. The LWO’s offense is fast paced with quick tags while the OC rely on slow and more deliberate offense.
*Finally we get Styles and Escobar and they put in the majority of the time in the match really showing what they can do.
*Escobar tags in Wilde while Anderson gets a tag from Styles. A few moments later Gallows causes a skirmish outside the ring in the LWO’s corner. With the referee’s back turned, Styles flies with a Phenomenal Forearm. Anderson makes the cover and gets the win.
RESULT: THE OC WINS BY PINFALL
The two teams approach each other after a very hard fought fight. Escobar steps up to AJ and offers his hand. His men do the same to the good brothers and soon we have three handshakes and a couple hugs. All six men turn to the audience, accepting their cheers…..
AJ glances at Gallows and Anderson and they all turn on a dime, blasting the LWO from behind. Taken by surprise, they’re not able to defend themselves and the OC is showing no mercy. Gallows chokeslams del Toro over the top rope, dumping him to the floor below. Anderson is launching high knees into Wilde before hitting a spinning lariat. Styles and Escobar are brawling but with his friends out, it’s now 3 on 1 and he ends up planted with a Styles Clash.
As the show ends, the OC stands together and gives the ‘too sweet gesture.

NOVEMBER WEEK 2
CROSS INSURANCE ARENA
PORTLAND, ME
Rhea Ripley comes down to the ring with a confident grin. She gets a mic and says that people have been saying that she ran away from Becky Lynch but that simply isn’t true. The truth is, Mami decides what to do and when to do it. And that time and place is next week right here on Superstars. She says if Becky is half the Man she claims to be, she’ll see her next week.
A vignette highlighting Charlotte Flair and her career highlights is shown.
CANDICE LARAE VS CHARLI EVANS
*NXT’s Evans gives LaRae a good match but in the end it’s not enough as the Poison Pixie wins after snapmaring Evans and then locking in a dragon sleeper and wraps her legs around her torso, which Graves calls Pixie Dust.
RESULT: CANDICE LARAE WINS BY SUBMISSION
Kelly Kinkaid and a camera man are walking backstage until they find Nikki Cross sitting by herself in a side closet room. She approaches carefully and asks Nikki what she’s doing. Nikki smiles crazily and asks Kelly if she wants to play. Kelly declines and backs out as Nikki rocks herself and keeps repeating that she wants to play.
ROXANNE PEREZ AND THEA HAIL VS NAOMI AND TAMINA
*These two youngsters surprise the veterans with quick tags and a flowing offense. They lay everything they have into Tamina but she withstands it and flattens Hail with a clothesline.*Naomi tags in, wears down the energetic Thea, then hits the Rear View while Tamina sends Perez into the barricade. Tamina tags back in and ends it with a Superfly Splash.
RESULT: NAOMI AND TAMINA WIN BY PINFALL
ASUKA VS SHOTZI
*Shotzi is not intimidated by Asuka and goes right at her but Asuka proves that to be a bad idea as she knocks Shotzi to her knees with a kick to the stomach and then spends the next several minutes picking her apart with strikes and stretches.
*Roberts at ringside just smiles and encourages his protege to do even more damage, to cause even more pain. Asuka hits a picture perfect DDT, but pulls Shotzi’s head up at 2.
*Shotzi has no idea where she is, and it gets worse when Asuka slaps on the Asuka Lock and the referee immediately calls for the bell.
RESULT: ASUKA WINS BY SUBMISSION
Roberts enters the ring, and raises Asuka’s arm, before pointing down at Shotzi and ordering her to re-apply the Asuka Lock. Shotzi is helpless as officials try to force Asuka to stop. As the show ends, Cole questions if Asuka is even more dangerous than she’s ever been.

Following John Cena, Becky Lynch, and Cody Rhodes fielding questions, Chief Content Officer Paul ‘Triple H’ Levesque sat down to address the assembled media.
“That crowd tonight was crazy, wasn’t it? We’re thankful as always for the Crown Prince and his government for their assistance in putting on the show tonight. I know someone will immediately tweet something to prove me wrong but I think tonight may have been one of the best shows of the year and that’s saying something for how 2023 has been going.
No major injuries tonight which is always a great thing. We had a crowd of I believe 47,000. Can’t say enough about the performers and the action tonight. Next up in three weeks is Survivor Series in Chicago which is a very unique crowd to be in front of.
I’d be remiss if I didn’t mention the history that was made here tonight. John Cena is the most deserving person I know to be the 17 time world champion and to stand alone on that pedestal. He works his ass off, always has, to make genuine connections to our fans and I’m very proud of this moment.
So that said, I’ll open it up for questions.”
