Lita interviews Cesaro backstage. He knows he and Sheamus aren't the tag team champs on Raw, but the two of them have beaten The New Day (Kofi Kingston, Big E, Xavier Woods) on separate occasions earlier this year, and they will eventually get their title win.
Bill Goldberg starts tonight's show. Paul Heyman interrupts before Goldberg has much of a chance to speak, and while he has respect for Goldberg and his ability, he is not a physical threat and is carrying out Brock Lesnar's instructions. He says he's coming here with back-up, and has an announcement that will make everyone happy. He says Lesnar is an impatient man, and that he will not wait until Survivor Series as he wants to fight Goldberg tonight. When he introduces Lesnar, Lesnar's music hits, but Lesnar doesn't show up. We see Heyman laughing, and we learn this is a trick. Goldberg is about to trap Heyman in a corner for messing with him when Rusev shows up and gets in the ring with Goldberg. Rusev asks Goldust just who he thinks he is, and tells him he doesn't have it anymore. Rusev tells Goldberg he was great in WCW, and that he had two great moves in the Spear and the Jackhammer. He doesn't think Goldberg has the heart to keep fighting when he's down, either. Rusev calls himself the super-athlete, and says Goldberg is scared and that fear makes one weak. Rusev punches Goldberg, but Goldberg answers with a Jackhammer before hitting a spear on Heyman.
Enzo Amore and Big Cass show up to the next match dressed up as Buzz Lightyear and Woody from the Toy Story series, respectively.
Enzo Amore and Big Cass beat Gallows & Anderson (Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson) in a Trick or Street Fight.
Paul Heyman is taken to the hospital in an ambulance.
Before the next match, Brian Kendrick says he proved to the world that nice guys finish last, and that he used psychology against TJ Perkins to get the title as he needs nobody's help to win. He knows Perkins is fired up, but he plans on keeping the Cruiserweight Championship.
TJ Perkins beats Brian Kendrick by count-out when Kendrick stays outside of the ring at the last second, and Kendrick retains the WWE Cruiserweight Championship. Perkins attacks Kendrick after the match and makes him submit to the knee bar while officials try to break them up.
General Manager Mick Foley comes face-to-face with Braun Strowman, who wants to be part of Team Raw at Survivor Series. Foley tells him that there is a battle royal tonight, and the winner becomes part of Team Raw. Strowman finally gets his competition.
General Manager Mick Foley shows up. He thanks everyone on the Raw roster who made Hell In A Cell what it is...except for Jeri-KO (Chris Jericho and Kevin Owens), who left a bad taste in his mouth. Jeri-KO show up, and Owens chalks it up to Foley being irritated about him making history. Jericho tells Foley he should be thanking them for proving what a real time can do, and that they are the ones to anchor Team Raw. Foley admits he needs them for Team Raw, and that leads to...Jeri-KO making fun of Foley's record in Hell In A Cell matches. Foley tells Owens he could have walked out a legend, but instead made a mockery out of the Cell. Jericho and Owens don't care, even after Foley says he had to stop Commissioner Stephanie McMahon from coming out and suspending Jericho indefinitely for his actions. He then says that he also needs "The Guy" for Team Raw..."The Guy" being Roman Reigns, who shows up. Roman thanks Foley for the vote of confidence, then calls Jeri-Ko "Spongebob Squarepants and Patrick" before saying he would have dressed up as a stupid idiot if they didn't run out of Chris Jericho costumes. Jericho then teases putting Roman on The List, but then proclaims nobody here is worthy of being on The List, and says he'd be a better United States champ that Roman despite knowing nothing about the United States. He then mocks Roman for the beating Rusev gave him last night, but Roman makes it clear he's still down to fight. Foley makes a match between Roman and Jericho for tonight official.
Braun Strowman wins a battle royal to become the final member of Team Raw along with Roman Reigns, Chris Jericho and Kevin Owens.
The New Day (Kofi Kingston, Big E, Xavier Woods - dressed up as The Godfather, Kama Mustafa and Papa Shango respectively) take a moment to remember Francesca II, then confirm the appearance of Francesca III before talking about the SmackDown competition in the Traditional 5-on-5 Survivor Series Tag Team Match.
Rich Swann, Lince Dorado and Cedric Alexander beat Tony Nese, Drew Gulak and Ariya Daivari.
Charlotte arrives on a throne held by four men, much like she did at Hell In A Cell. She brags about her victory from last night, and tells Sasha Banks she pushed her to her limits. At the end of the day, she considers Sasha Banks to be just like the other women in the Women's Division playing for second place. She wants Nikki Bella that she put her on the shelf for a year, and that if she does it again, it will be forever. She also calls out Alexa Bliss, Becky Lynch and Carmella by saying the Raw Women's title makes her the best in the business. She also calls Bayley "a weak link in her team." Bayley shows up when Charlotte tells her to come out to the ring. After Bayley congratulates her for a job well done at Hell In A Cell, Charlotte mocks her, and Bayley tells her that success has gone to her head to the point that she has become the biggest jerk, and that she will never be a champion like her. Charlotte says she won't, because she'll never be her. She calls Bayley a glorified fan in a Halloween costume, and wants to see how strong she is against their Survivor Series teammate. Bayley thinks it's Dana Brooke, but it's really Nia Jax.
Charlotte and Dana Brooke guest on commentary for the next match.
Nia Jax beats Bayley.
