Houston, Texas
Commentary: Michael Cole, Tom Phillips, Corey Graves, Booker T, Byron Saxton

Kickoff Show
Elias vs. Matt Hardy

The crowd was like 85% empty, it seemed, and the announcers said that people were still filing in and the show was sold out. Elias started to sing a song about how people in Houston are stupid, but Matt Hardy’s theme interrupted. This was a really basic WWE match. Elias worked on Matt’s shoulder for most of the match. In the end, Elias won via his “Drift Away” finisher.

Winner: Elias (~9 minutes)

Kickoff Show
Cruiserweight Championship Match
Enzo Amore (c) vs. Kalisto

Enzo cut a standard promo on Kalisto before the match. Enzo controlled most of the match until Kalisto went for the Salida del Sol, but Enzo escaped. He went for the Jawdonzo, but Kalisto held on to the ropes. Really sloppy. They went back into the ring and Enzo hit the Jawdonzo for the win. Not a good match…

Winner: Enzo Amore (~9 minutes)

Kickoff Show
Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn vs. Breezango

Owens and Zayn entered first and got on the mic. Owens said they didn’t come to Survivor Series to compete with two clowns. Zayn said that it was a disgrace and an insult that they were relegated to facing Breezango. Owens said they should be leading Team SmackDown to victory tonight, but they aren’t because of Shane McMahon. Owens and Zayn said that they felt unsafe and that their lives were in danger because Shane McMahon forced Raw to retaliate against SmackDown and made it an unsafe environment.

Breezango interrupted. Breeze said that they got an anonymous tip about two optical offenders harassing the WWE Universe. He said their un-manicured facial hair was at least ten violations and they pulled out a bunch of fashion violation tickets and threw them at Owens and Zayn.

Another basic, boring match. After a bunch of rest holds and stuff, Fandango went for a top rope leg drop but missed. Owens then hit him with a pop up powerbomb for the win.

Winners: Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn (~8 minutes)

The Shield vs. The New Day

The New Day cut a promo, then there was video recap of their feud. The match finally started at 7:15. Rollins and Ambrose wrestled in the terrible jarring half Raw / half Shield t-shirts. All five commentators were on commentary at the same time…

Later, Rollins hit Kofi with his knee finisher, then Ambrose hit him with the Dirty Deeds, but Xavier broke up the pin. Reigns and Ambrose tossed Big E and Kofi into the guard rail on the outside, then the Shield went for their triple powerbomb finisher, but Big E and Kofi broke it up. Big E picked both Rollins and Ambrose on each shoulder, and Kofi and Xavier jumped off the top and helped hit the Big Ending on both, but Reigns ran in and attacked.

On the outside, Rollins hit his knee finisher on Woods and Ambrose hit the Dirty Deeds on Big E. In the ring, Reigns nailed Kofi with a spear. The Shield went up to the middle rope and hit a Triple Powerbomb on Kofi for the win.

Strowman’s theme hit, then Triple H got up after a couple of minutes. Strowman picked him up and hit him with another running powerslam.
