Team Authority Opens Up RAW

The WWE Survivor Series “go-home” edition of WWE RAW opens up with “Team Authority” making their way down to the ring to the tune of Triple H’s “King of Kings” theme song.

“The Game” begins by reminding everyone of the heavy-duty stipulation surrounding the “Team Cena” vs. “Team Authority” match at Survivor Series. From there, Stephanie McMahon hops on the mic and talks about how they’re going to win.

HHH talks about how the “WWE Universe” are all sheep. He reminds everyone that while they cheer for Vince McMahon now, it wasn’t too long ago when he was the “evil Mr. McMahon.” He says if Team Authority lose, the inmates will run the asylum. He says the last time the inmates ran the asylum was in a place called WCW, a company they picked up at an auction.

HHH and Steph promise that tonight, “Team Cena” will be decimated. He says there will be a contract signing tonight and we’ll see who’s left and who’s willing to sign on as part of Cena’s team.

After running down “Team Authority” one-by-one, Stephanie McMahon is interrupted by Ryback. Steph talks about how emotions ran high last week and they may have made some decisions that they regret. She says, “isn’t that right, Kane?” Kane says he regrets his actions.

Stephanie says they respect Ryback, but John Cena doesn’t. She says this footage will prove it. A clip airs of Cena cutting a promo on Ryback last year on a few different occasions, talking trash about him and mocking him.

Once the footage is done, Steph says the video speaks for itself. She says Cena is jealous of him. She asks if that is someone he can trust and go to battle with. She asks if he wants the contempt of Team Cena or the respect of Team Authority.

Ryback says he plays for the one team he can count on, and that’s Team Ryback. The fans don’t react at all as he walks away. You could literally hear a pin drop. HHH says it’s a wise decision and he’s smart to stay out of the fight. He says for everyone who is in the fight — the decimation starts now.

He tells Luke Harper to stay in the ring now. He says the decimation starts now. He makes a match between Harper and Dolph Ziggler. With that said, Ziggler’s music hits and out he comes.

WWE Intercontinental Championship
Luke Harper vs. Dolph Ziggler (c)

Harper is in the ring and Ziggler is making his way to the ring. We head to a commercial. Harper vs. Ziggler is up next.

When we return from commercial, we see Seth Rollins sitting at ringside as a guest commentator for this match. Lilian Garcia announces that she was just informed during the break that this will be an Intercontinental Championship match.

Both guys are introduced and as soon as the introductions are done, Joey Mercury and Jaie Noble, who were at ringside with Rollins, hit the ring and jump Ziggler. Rollins joins in and blasts Ziggler with his Money In The Bank briefcase. The three leave the ring as Michael Cole informs us that the match hasn’t even started yet.

Ziggler takes a while, but finally crawls back to his feet. As soon as he does, the bell rings to make this one official. Harper then immediately blasts Ziggler with a big boot, covers him AND …Ziggler kicks out at two. Harper then hits a big seated powerbomb and covers him, but Ziggler again manages to kick out at two. On that note, we head to a mid-match commercial.

We’re back from the break and we see Harper still in firm control of the offense in this I-C title match with “The Show Off.” Out of nowhere, however, Ziggler nails Harper with a FameAsser. Harper still manages to kick out at two and then quickly takes over the offense once again. Out of nowhere, Harper launches Ziggler in the air and then blasts him with the big clothesline. 1-2-3. We have a new I-C champion, folks.

After the match, Rollins enters the ring and hits Ziggler with a Curb Stomp. From there, we head to another commercial break.

Winner and NEW WWE Intercontinental Champion: Luke Harper

Backstage: The Miz, Damien Mizdow & Grumpy Cat

When we return from commercial, The Miz and Damien Mizdow are shown backstage. Miz does a big hype job for a movie, which Sandow of course mimics. Finally, once he’s done, Miz says, “what do you think?” The camera pans over and we see the “Grumpy Cat.” He then introduces stunt grumpy cat, which is a stuffed animal. Miz and Sandow leave, only for Miz to return to the scene and tell the cat he’s sorry for losing his temper. He kisses the cat and walks off.

Adam Rose (with The Bunny) vs. Tyson Kidd (with Natalya)

From there, Adam Rose and The Rosebuds — including The Bunny – party their way down to the ring. During their ring entrance, we head to another commercial break.

We’re back from the break and we see Tyson Kidd — headphones and all — standing on the top rope posing for the crowd. Rose and Kidd are in one-on-one action here on RAW.

The bell rings and here we go. Rose orders The Bunny to stand by his corner. Rose works Kidd over in the corner to start. Kidd is distracted by the Rosebuds. Rose nails a big spinebuster for a 2 count. The Bunny flirts with Natalya and distracts Rose. This sets up Kidd putting the Sharpshooter on Rose. Rose taps out. Kidd wins.

After the match, The Bunny comes in the ring to help Rose up. The Bunny ducks a clothesline and grinds Rose from behind. The Bunny runs out of the ring, goes to the top of the stage and does a dry-hump motion with his body. We head to commercial.

Winner: Tyson Kidd

Bray Wyatt & Dean Ambrose In-Ring Segment

When we return from commercial, Bray Wyatt makes his way down to the ring for a promo segment.

Bray speaks about Dean Ambrose and says he wants Ambrose to see how Wyatt can save them. He tells Ambrose to embrace this and he will make it all go away. We hear Ambrose start talking on the mic and then he appears on the big screen. He tells Wyatt to stop babbling. Ambrose reveals that he’s talking on a taped promo and that he’s really in the audience.

The lights come back on and Ambrose attacks Wyatt from behind. Ambrose unloads and Wyatt manages to escape. Ambrose says he doesn’t need saving and Wyatt just needs to worry about saving himself at Survivor Series. Wyatt is shown at the top of the ramp with a concerned look on his face as Ambrose stares him down from the ring. We head to commercial.

Ryback vs. Cesaro

We return from commercial and “The Big Guy,” Ryback makes his way down to the ring for a match. His opponent for tonight is none other than “The King of Swing,” Cesaro. The bell rings and here we go.

Ryback dominates straight from the word “go.” Out of nowhere, Cesaro hits a big slam for a two count. Ryback turns it around in the corner but Cesaro whips him into the opposite corner. Cesaro with a sleeper hold now. “The King of Swing” throws Ryback out to the floor as we head to a mid-match commercial.

We’re back live on RAW and the action is still in progress. Cesaro hits an impressive multiple German suplex spot, holding onto Ryback and hitting another over-and-over again. Several times during this match, by the way, we see John Cena watching on from backstage. Finally, Ryback hits his finisher and scores the 1-2-3 for the victory in a pretty good match.

Winner: Ryback

Backstage: Renee Young Interviews John Cena

After the match, we see Cena looking on from a monitor backstage once again. This time, Renee Young enters the scene and asks Cena about Team Authority and everything that has happened tonight, namely with those who are scheduled to be a part of Team Cena. Cena says he sees what’s going on. Renee asks Cena about Ryback. Cena says Ryback has made it clear that he’s on “Team Ryback.” Cena walks off.

Rusev (with Lana) vs. Heath Slater

Rusev, accompanied by Lana, makes his way to the ring. As he enters the ring, we head to a commercial. It appears “The Bulgarian Brute” is in action next on RAW.

We return from the break and after being told to “shut-tup” (not a typo) a few times, Lana talks about how Americans drooled over the naked photo of Kim Kardashian. She teases showing a topless photo of herself, but instead shows a photo of Vladimir Putin without his shirt on riding a horse.

Heath Slater then comes out in a goofy-ass U.S.A. outfit, complete with an American flag top hat. He gets in the ring, gets in Rusev’s face, and does his best Clubber Lang (Rocky) impression and says, “ding, ding!” just like Lang did in a similar outfit. Only Slater concluded his by saying, “Ding! Ding! ….BITCH!” They bleeped out bitch, by the way.

The bell does go ding-ding, and about five seconds later, goes ding-ding again, as one kick and an Accolade and Rusev scores an easy win.

Winner: Rusev

Backstage: The Miz, Damien Mizdow, Grumpy Cat, Stunt Grumpy Cat & Erick Rowan

Backstage, The Miz throws one final movie pitch to Grumpy Cat, while Damien Mizdow mimics the speech to his stunt Grumpy Cat (stuffed cat toy), when in walks Erick Rowan. He takes his sheep mask off and says, “I want that cat!” After a dramatic pause, Rowan reaches over and yanks the stunt Grumpy Cat stuffed animal toy from Mizdow and then walks away. Miz and Mizdow look confused.

In-Ring Segment: Big Show, Stephanie McMahon & Sheamus

Big Show makes his way to the ring. During his entrance, we head to another commercial break. Big Show is in action next here on WWE RAW.

When we return from the break, before we can find out who Big Show’s opponent is, out comes Stephanie McMahon. She tells Show he’s been in the shadow of someone or something for his whole career. She says he panders to the people because he wanted to be the man, the main event. She says they don’t have that power. The Authority does.

All of this leads to her making him an offer about inducting him into the 2015 class of the WWE Hall Of Fame. Big Show says — off mic — that his answer is no. As soon as he says that, Sheamus’ theme hits.

Sheamus makes his way out to the ring. He says just like Big Show, he’s proud to be a part of Team Cena. He talks about how this Sunday they’re going to finally drive The Authority out of power. He says this time next week the only way he’ll have to see Steph or her husband is if the two buy a ticket.

Steph mockingly laughs and then tells Sheamus that there’s an issue with his passport and that he’s not technically an American citizen. She says she’ll give them one more reason to consider leaving Team Cena, because the two of them will be in action tonight — against each other. She says the winner of tonight’s match will have the opportunity to win the WWE World Heavyweight Championship. She says this match starts right now.

Big Show vs. Sheamus

The bell rings as Stephanie leaves the ring. Big Show and Sheamus shake hands and now it’s time for the two Team Cena members to go to battle. The two battle back-and-forth a bit until Big Show throws Sheamus out of the ring onto the floor. On that note, we head to a mid-match commercial. When we return from the break, we see Sheamus crawling in the ring as Big Show calls for the chokeslam. Sheamus, however, fights his way out of it.

Show with several body slams and another elbow for a 2 count. Show keeps control and applies a leg submission. Sheamus makes it to the bottom rope and breaks the hold. Sheamus comes back with offense and knocks Show off his feet. Sheamus keeps control but runs into a big boot. Show misses an elbow. Sheamus goes to the top but Show knocks him out of mid-air with a spear for a close 2 count.

Sheamus counters a chokeslam and hits White Noise for a close 2 count. Show catches a Brogue Kick and nails a chokeslam for 2. Show goes to the second rope and Sheamus falls back, dropping Show off his shoulders. Rusev and Mark Henry hit the ring. Rusev nails Sheamus with a kick for the bell.

Once the match is officially over, Rusev unloads on Show while Henry goes to Sheamus on the floor and tears apart the announce table. Henry puts Sheamus through the table with a World’s Strongest Slam. Rusev puts Show in The Accolade in the ring. We head to another commercial.

Winner: No Contest

Brie “Lee” Bella vs. Nikki Bella

AJ Lee’s music hits, but out comes Brie Bella dressed like the WWE Divas Champion. And let me tell you what, she looks pretty damn identical to AJ at a quick glance.

Anyways, out comes her twin sister, Nikki Bella. Bella and Bella will take each other on now in an “Exhibition Match.”

Before the bell can ring, however, the real deal AJ Lee makes her way to the ring. She joins the gang on commentary, to a round of “CM Punk” chants from the crowd.

Nikki dominates most of the match while AJ makes jokes on commentary. The finish saw AJ distract Nikki, allowing Brie to score the pin. After the match, as Nikki beats up Brie for winning when she wasn’t supposed to, AJ hits the ring and attacks her. Then, however, AJ attacks Brie as well. She skips off as her music plays.

Winner: Brie Bella

Backstage: John Cena & Ryback

In a pretty damn good little backstage segment, John Cena approaches Ryback and tries to recruit him for his Survivor Series team once again. Ryback says he’s only on Team Ryback. Cena says it’s funny how Ryback says “Feed Me More,” only to get a chance to eat at the big table, and suddenly he’s not hungry. Cena walks off.

The Usos & Los Matadores vs. Goldust, Stardust, The Miz & Damien Mizdow

The Usos make their way to the ring. During their ring entrance, we head to another commercial break.

When we return from the break, three other teams are in the ring, as Goldust and Stardust, Los Matadores and The Miz and Damien Mizdow are all ready for battle. The bell rings and here we go.

The Miz gets control of one of the Usos and teases a tag to Mizdow, which the fans pop big for. So, of course, Miz tags in Goldust instead. The fans boo and then break out into a loud “we want Mizdow” chant as Goldust picks up where Miz left off, beating up Uso. We head to a mid-match commercial.

When we return from the break, all of the action is still going on. All of the teams break out into a big brawl. It turns out, this was an eight-man tag-match, not every team for himself. In the end, Goldust and Stardust, along with the team of The Miz and Damien Mizdow, pick up the “W.” After the match, we head to another break.

Winners: Goldust, Stardust, The Miz & Damien Mizdow

Survivor Series Contract Signing

We’re back from the break and the first thing we hear is “King of Kings.” Out comes “Team Authority,” along with Triple H, Stephanie McMahon, Joey Mercury and Jamie Noble. The carpet is laid out in the ring and the table is in there as well. It’s time for our big Survivor Series contract signing.

Triple H begins by talking about how important this Sunday’s Survivor Series main event is, getting choked up in the process. He and Steph talk about how they won’t lose. They can’t. HHH introduces “what’s left” of “Team Cena.” This leads to John Cena coming out by himself.

Cena says he’s going to make sure Team Authority loses. He says he’ll make sure of it, even if he has to pick four people out of the audience. He proceeds to pick out four fans, two of which were little kids. He says even if he went to battle with those four guys, he’s going to make sure Team Authority loses.

Cena, in rare form, sits at a chair next to the announce team and breaks down, one-by-one, who is going to be eliminated this Sunday. In order, Cena says Kane, Luke Harper, Rusev and Seth Rollins will lose.

He gets back in the ring. As he continues his speech, however, Stephanie slaps him in the face. He moves the table and says Steph better get out of the ring because it’s go time. He takes his shirt off and tells them to make a move.

Boom. Dolph Ziggler’s music hits. He comes down to the ring holding his neck. He enters the ring and stands next to Cena. Next out is Big Show. Erick Rowan is next out. Finally, Cesaro’s music hits and out he comes, however, once he hits the ring, he moves over to Team Authority. As Stephanie and Team Authority laughs, however, as everyone expects via the “Feed Me More” chants, out comes Ryback.

Everyone brawls until Triple H and Ryback are left alone in the ring. The two stare each other down until Cena appears from behind and hits the A.A. on HHH. Cena and his entire team raise each other’s hands and pose for the crowd as the WWE Survivor Series “go-home” edition of RAW goes off the air.
