Backstage: Vince McMahon, Sonya Deville, Adam Pearce

We get a recap of Survivor Series last night–but only about the $100 million egg that was stolen from Mr. McMahon after being given it as a gift by the Rock. Vince fears that the Rock will be upset, and ordered WWE officials Adam Pearce and Sonya Deville to help find it and are told Vince will be here to deal with it.

Vince is seated with both officials. He’s upset about the missing egg and demands they get to the truth. He informs them that if he doesn’t have the egg on his desk, they’ll be let go. He tells Adam, “You know those two words, don’t you?” (Hinting at “you’re fired”). They postulate as to who it could possibly be. Vince McMahon tells the officials that whomever finds the egg will be rewarded and whomever finds the egg can get a title shot at WWE Champion Big E later tonight. The Barclays Center pops.

Riddle vs. Dolph Ziggler

Orton is interviewed backstage. Riddle is missing, and Orton’s upset. He claims he last saw Riddle last night–and during the match, Riddle made him proud in the ring by finally focusing and listening to Orton. Up walks Riddle wearing a fake mustache and goatee. He does his best to look like Orton, dressing like him. Orton explains that he wanted Riddle to be like him, not be him. He also indicates he’ll handle the “bleach-blonde” Dolph Ziggler. He calls for Orton’s music and we’re off!

Riddle, dressed like Orton and wearing the same clothes, makes his way out to Orton’s music and poses like Orton in the corner. We head to break. Afterwards, Dolph Ziggler is out. Riddle “Orton” (using that because he’s cosplaying as Orton) starts off with an early suplex attempt. Ziggler and Riddle grapple, jockeying for position. Riddle quickly takes Ziggler down and looks for a submission. Orton watches from ringside as does Roode. Ziggler focuses his offense on Ziggler’s arm, looking to weaken it up. Ziggler takes control with a standing dropkick to the face. Corey Graves claims Ziggler dropkicked the mustache off Orton. After another strike, Riddle loses his bear. Riddle puts his sheer strength on display by gut-wrench lifting Ziggler and spinning around in circles before suplexing him out of the ring. Ziggler heads outside and when Riddle follows, Ziggler catches him with a Superkick! We head to break.

Back from the break. Riddle uses an Orton-style Powerslam to lay out Dolph. Riddle looks like he’s working on bulking up muscle. Riddle sets Ziggler up for the Spike DDT but takes a little too long and Ziggler counters. Ziggler hits a Famouser but Riddle kicks out at two. Jimmy Smith, Byron Saxton and Corey Graves–our commentary team–both praise and question Riddle’s “cosplay exploits.” Ziggler and Riddle are both knelt and fight to their feet, exchanging fists as the crowd enthusiastically cheers them on. Ziggler gets the upper hand and positions in the corner. Ziggler looks for his version of Sweet Chin Music but Riddle counters. Riddle drops and slaps the canvas like Orton and, as soon as Ziggler rises, Riddle hits an RKO outta nowhere! Orton approves as Riddle picks up the win.

Winner: Riddle

After the match, Orton hits a Bro Derek (Riddle’s move) on Roode when Robert attempts to attack.

Backstage: Search for the Egg

Rhea Ripley, R-Truth and many others are tearing apart the catering area, looking for Vince’s egg. They tear up the room and search every nook and cranny.

In-Ring: Becky Lynch

The Lasskicker comes out to a decent pop. As she poses in the ring, we’re treated to a video package highlighting her win over Charlotte Flair last night in the opening match of Survivor Series. We head to break. Afterwards, the fans welcome Becky with a big chant. Lynch reminds us that it’s been three years since Lynch slapped Flair and became “the Man.” Lynch speaks about the match last night, stating both she and Flair wanted to injure and maim each other. She accuses the crowd of taking entertainment pleasure in the fact that they could destroy each other. Lynch tells us that since the WWE Universe wants something fresh and new, she asks the audience who do they want to see Lynch fight. She name-drops Rhea Ripley, who gets a minor pop. She then drops Bianca Belair, who gets a better pop.

Finally she names Liv Morgan and the crowd pops loud.

Lynch continues to work her heel gimmick, accusing the crowd of doing their “stupid little chants…stupid little waves…you and your stupid little songs, didn’t ya?” She continues to work up the crowd, telling the fans that she doesn’t give a damn what they like. Great job in trying to establish herself as a heel with a pro-Lynch crowd. She runs down the competitors she named and ends the segment stating no one will take her title. Her music plays her out.

Bianca Belair vs. Tamina

Belair addresses last night’s Women’s Survivor Series match, which saw Belair come back from a 4-to-1 deficit and pick up the win as the sole survivor. She pivots to talk about Doudrop and hopes that Doudrop is over her jealousy of Belair’s spot on the team.

Bianca is out first, followed by Tamina and Nattie. We head to break. When we return we get the bell and we’re off. Belair uses her athleticism to dodge a Tamina rush, flip across the ring and up the turnbuckle to spank her butt and tease Tamina. Tamina and Belair clash in the ring and Belair hits a suplex followed by a kip-up. Belair does her unnamed signature move, in which she flips against the ropes then back to crash on her opponent. Tamina takes the lead after ripping the legs out from Belair as she stood on the turnbuckle. Tamina nails Belair with a Superkick followed immediately with a Samoan Drop, picking up two. Tamina works Belair over in the corner as the ref counts his warning.

Tamina maintains control with working holds, slowing down the agile Belair and cranking the neck wickedly to the left. Belair struggles for several long moments in the hold. Tamina hits a clubbing blow to Belair’s chest and immediately wrenches the neck back to the left. Tamina fails to capitalize on her lead and Belair rallies, hitting the KOD to pick up the win.

Winner: Bianca Belair

After the match, Natalya looked to attack Belair and lock in a Sharpshooter. Belair kicks Nattie out of the ring and yells “what are you doing?” Doudrop attacks from behind, laying out Belair with a running splash before leaving.

Seth Rollins vs. Finn Bálor

Rollins is out first to a decent reaction from the crowd. The digital, piped-in audience boo loudly while the actual real crowd cheer for Rollins. We get this match up next–after this commercial break. When we return, Rollins works the crowd up, telling Brooklyn to give it up for the sole survivor. He reminds us that last night, right there in that ring, Rollins did what he was “born to do” and he led team Raw to victory. Graves thanks Rollins as Rollins bows to the crowd. The crowd begins singing Rollins new theme as he dances to it. He tells the crowd he loves it and the best part is he did it (win the SS match) all by himself. He tells the WWE Universe that KO was the liar, snake and coward that Rollins warned us about. KO walked out before the match. Bobby Lashley “got himself counted out. And Austin Theory, bless his sweet soul, he tried so hard–but he just wasn’t good enough. And Finn Bálor,” he pauses to cackle, “he got Brogue Kicked by Sheamus and got pinned here on this mat 1-2-3, no help (from) Finn Bálor. But in a few moments, Finn Bálor is going to walk down that ramp, he’s going to get in this ring and I’m going to lead by example when I show Finn Bálor a thing or two about what it means to be the best because I am a revolutionary, I am a visionary, I am Seth Freak–” He’s interrupted as his opponent, Finn Bálor, makes his way out.

Finn Bálor heads straight to the ring. Our first-ever Universal Champion climbs the apron and does his usual play-up to the crowd. Rollins attacks Bálor, knocking him off the apron. Rollins takes it inside and Bálor hits a ground-and-pound on Rollins before sending Seth outside. Bálor with a tope to Rollins, wiping him out at ringside. Bálor sends Rollins into the ring but Rollins rolls out the other side. Bálor charges and looks for perhaps a Sling Blade, but Rollins catches him midair and slams Bálor down. Rollins beats the hell out of Bálor at the ringside areal. Seth picks up steel steps and rams them into Bálor’s face as the crowd changes from singing Rollins theme and turns to a “holy shit” chant. Rollins sends Bálor into the ring and hits the Stomp! Rollins hits a second stomp and this match never takes place. Afterwards, a fan jumped the barricade but was taken down on the ramp by Seth Rollins, I believe (they immediately turned cameras away).

Match never started

Backstage: Vince McMahon, Sami Zayn

VKM speaks with Zayn, who claims to know who took the egg. Much of both Raw and SD rosters search and rampage backstage, looking for the egg that comes with a title match.

Street Profits vs. AJ Styles & Omos

The Profits come out first. Ford gives a red solo cup to Graves despite Saxton begging for one, haha. Future Hall of Famer Angelo Dawkins comes out with a huge, heavy bag and we go to break as commentary speculates on what’s in the bag. When we return, Styles & Omos make their way out. Omos eliminated 12 of the 24 other Superstars in the Rock 25th Anniversary 25-Man Battle Royal. We start with Styles and Ford. Ford takes an early lead and tags in Dawkins. The two unite for tandem offense multiple times as Dawkins and Ford use quick tags. Finally, Styles escapes and tags in Omos. The giant Omos steps over the ropes and both Profits flee the ring. They stand at the top of the ramp to “game plan against Omos” according to Smith. We head to commercial.

Back from the break. Styles and Dawkins clash in the ring. Omos, presumably, tagged in Styles during the break and the Profits re-entered the ring. Dawkins hits the Silencer on Styles and both men are down. Ford and Omos both look for the hot tag as their partners crawl over. Ford gets the tag first and comes in, attacking Styles before he can tag Omos. Ford strikes Omos then takes Styles down with a diving cross-body. Ford taunt Omos again. Styles attempts to use the distraction to fire off a combination of kicks and strikes but Ford shuts him down. Styles looks for a back suplex but Ford floats over. Styles immediately counters with a Penalty Kick and sets up for the Styles Clash. Ford counters and Styles tags in Omos. Dawkins retrieves a fire extinguisher and uses it to spray Omos, causing a DQ.

Winners by Disqualification: AJ Styles & Omos

Vega hops on the back of Ripley, looking for a sleeper. Ripley moves to her corner and Nikki comes in on a hot tag. Nikki streaks across the ring to attack Carmella then takes it to Vega. After Ripley comes back in on a tag and scuffles with Carmella. Nikki is in next. After Carmella rams Ripley into the ring post, Carmella hits a Superkick to Nikki, Zelina hits Code Red, the champs are pinned and we’ve got new champs.

Sonya Deville tells McMahon that they know who took the egg and Adam Pearce is going to bring him in now. After commercials, Theory comes in with the egg. He and Zayn talk about the egg, with Zayn snitching on Theory and stating Theory took it. When asked by Vince about it, Theory says he just wanted to take a selfie with the egg, but was scared by the level of security so he went to the hotel with the egg. He shows selfies he took with the egg–proving he stole it. Vince says Theory took a huge risk coming in here and he’ll drop the charges because he reminds him of himself. Theory is happy and asks for a selfie. Vince poses with the egg for a selfie for Theory. Zayn angrily has words with McMahon, upset that Theory gets a title shot tonight instead of him.
