Nattie, Muffy and Ellie agree that they should be there for Jim and take control of the situation.
Five days before Money In The Bank, Brie and Nikki get a call from Bryan, who is now back on the road with WWE. Brie is happy for him, but that means he'll be at home less often. Meanwhile, Nikki says she would do anything to be in a Money In The Bank Ladder Match.

Nattie takes comfort in the fact that he passed away in his own home on his terms with the people that he loved before he could go into a nursing home, but it is so hard for her to say goodbye to her Dad, as she finds it surreal that she will never see him again. Nattie then heads to SummerSlam, where she is consoled by everyone backstage, saying she could never ask for better friends. At the show, she wears her father's jacket from when he won the WWE World Tag Team Championships with Bret "The Hit Man" Hart at SummerSlam 1990 to honor her father's memory.

Layin' da SmackDown - SmackDown Live recap for November 27, 2018
General Manager Paige is in the ring to start tonight's show to welcome back Becky Lynch. Becky says that she bled, fought and won only to show up at Survivor Series to find out she would not be competing. Now she is putting herself back in the game, and calls out Charlotte Flair, who fought in her place at Survivor Series. Charlotte shows up, and Becky Lynch tells Charlotte she came close to giving her the beating she would have given her, saying that if it was her, "Rowdy" Ronda Rousey would not be standing the next night. Becky thinks that Charlotte was channeling her that night, but Charlotte says she was being her and says he was giving Ronda the beating that she deserved, then says she is capable of that because she is genetically superior and will do what it takes to get the job done. Becky says Charlotte went from channeling her dad to channeling her, and calls her "Bootleg Becky," but Charlotte says Nia Jax hit her so hard she went from quirky to delusional and is now trying to ride her coat tails. After telling Nia Jax a queen is easy to spot in the crowd, Charlotte tells Becky Lynch she wants to take her on right now. Paige stops them, saying that she has not seen such desire out of anyone since Becky Lynch, and gives Charlotte her title match against Becky Lynch at TLC, and it will be a TLC Match given their history. As Becky and Charlotte continue to argue, Mandy Rose shows up with Sonya Deville, Zelina Vega and The IIconics (Billie Kay and Peyton Royce) and says that not only what Paige said about desire is an insult, but that any one of them could have done the exact same thing to Rousey. She also says they deserve a title shot, but Paige does not give them the time of day and says that she only gives opportunities to Charlotte and Becky. Naomi shows up with Lana, Asuka and Carmella, and says she could not help but overhear what Mandy has said, and says she agrees and that the Women's roster is full of talent. Becky threatens to beat every woman on the stage up, but Paige stops her and announces that all the women on the stage will be in a battle royal where the winner will be added to Charlotte and Becky's TLC Match.

Woods asks what just happened after Miz leaves, then Big E outs himself as a "closet Mariner" by talking about Miz's character in the Marine movies, Jake Carter.

He says that he is more bothered with how he has lost than the loss itself. He knew there would be a target on his match, and says he knows what it is like to want something so badly he will do anything to get it. However, he is bothered by Daniel Bryan attacking him to the point that he couldn't compete last week. He watched from home as Daniel Bryan explained his actions, and says it is a lot of "BS" and "trash." He says the old and new Daniel Bryans have the same face and he wants to bash that face in, and he wants to face him right now. Unfortunately, Daniel Bryan is not here and has not been at live events, while he has never missed SmackDown Live or a live event because he is the champ and this is where he belongs. He tells Daniel Bryan to be there at TLC and bring his dreams, his excuses and the WWE Championship, for the championship belongs to him.

Everyone on the SmackDown Live roster is on the stage as Michael Cole introduces Jeff Hardy. Jeff Hardy shows up, then we see a video package of Jeff Hardy in the last 20 years. After the video package, Jeff Hardy thanks the fans and says he can't believe half of the stuff that he has done, then says wrestling has given him a creative outlet to express who he is as he lived the highest of highs and felt the lowest of lows. He says that he is eternally grateful to the fans for sticking with him through all of that, and the fans chant "Thank You, Hardy!" He says he would not be here without his family, and thanks them for being there and making this night possible. He also says this is far from a retirement speech, and he doesn't know the future, and asks him and the fans to see it through together. Suddenly, Samoa Joe shows up and congratulates Jeff Hardy before saying having a champagne toast isn't the best idea as he continues to make fun of his past drug use, as he does not believe in weakness or second chances because he did not get his first. He says that despite all the mistakes he has made, Jeff Hardy has allowed himself to be put on a pedestal, and it makes him sick, as there are as many times he has gotten the people off their feet as he has let them down. He says that Jeff's demons still remain, and offers him his hand in case he hits a low point again, saying it won't be painless. Jeff refuses to let Joe rain on his parade and says he still lives in the moment, and challenges Joe to a match right now. Samoa Joe walks away with a smirk on his face instead of taking Jeff Hardy's challenge.

Randy Orton shows up with Rey Mysterio's mask from last week. Orton says people have called his actions against Rey Mysterio last week disrespectful, disgusting and disturbing, but he would call them euphoric. He says he has never understood what the big deal is about Rey's mask. He says he did not bother to learn the history of the mask as he did not care, and while he meant no disrespect to Rey last week, he meant to embarrass and humiliate him and take him down from the pedestal the fans put him on. Orton says that at this stage in Rey's career, Rey is just another victim of the RKO. Suddenly, Rey shows up with his neck in a neck brace, and he slowly approaches the ring until Orton slides out of it. Both men fight, but Orton gets the upper hand and rips the neck brace off before throwing Rey in the ring. Referees run in to try to stop Orton, but Rey fights back and hits the 619. Rey then grabs a steel chair, but Orton gets back up, catches Rey on the rope and hits the draping DDT before tossing Rey into the guardrail, grabbing Rey by the mask, placing the chair under his throat and slamming the legs into the steel steps. Backstage officials show up to stop Orton, and this time, there are too many people between Orton and Rey for Orton to do any more damage.

Everyone on the SmackDown Live roster is on the stage as Michael Cole introduces Jeff Hardy. Jeff Hardy shows up, then we see a video package of Jeff Hardy in the last 20 years. After the video package, Jeff Hardy thanks the fans and says he can't believe half of the stuff that he has done, then says wrestling has given him a creative outlet to express who he is as he lived the highest of highs and felt the lowest of lows. He says that he is eternally grateful to the fans for sticking with him through all of that, and the fans chant "Thank You, Hardy!" He says he would not be here without his family, and thanks them for being there and making this night possible. He also says this is far from a retirement speech, and he doesn't know the future, and asks him and the fans to see it through together. Suddenly, Samoa Joe shows up and congratulates Jeff Hardy before saying having a champagne toast isn't the best idea as he continues to make fun of his past drug use, as he does not believe in weakness or second chances because he did not get his first. He says that despite all the mistakes he has made, Jeff Hardy has allowed himself to be put on a pedestal, and it makes him sick, as there are as many times he has gotten the people off their feet as he has let them down. He says that Jeff's demons still remain, and offers him his hand in case he hits a low point again, saying it won't be painless. Jeff refuses to let Joe rain on his parade and says he still lives in the moment, and challenges Joe to a match right now. Samoa Joe walks away with a smirk on his face instead of taking Jeff Hardy's challenge.

Randy Orton shows up with Rey Mysterio's mask from last week. Orton says people have called his actions against Rey Mysterio last week disrespectful, disgusting and disturbing, but he would call them euphoric. He says he has never understood what the big deal is about Rey's mask. He says he did not bother to learn the history of the mask as he did not care, and while he meant no disrespect to Rey last week, he meant to embarrass and humiliate him and take him down from the pedestal the fans put him on. Orton says that at this stage in Rey's career, Rey is just another victim of the RKO. Suddenly, Rey shows up with his neck in a neck brace, and he slowly approaches the ring until Orton slides out of it. Both men fight, but Orton gets the upper hand and rips the neck brace off before throwing Rey in the ring. Referees run in to try to stop Orton, but Rey fights back and hits the 619. Rey then grabs a steel chair, but Orton gets back up, catches Rey on the rope and hits the draping DDT before tossing Rey into the guardrail, grabbing Rey by the mask, placing the chair under his throat and slamming the legs into the steel steps. Backstage officials show up to stop Orton, and this time, there are too many people between Orton and Rey for Orton to do any more damage.

Raw Deal - Raw recap for November 26, 2018
Baron Corbin is in the ring with Bobby Lashley, Lio Rush and Drew McIntyre to start tonight's show, and says none of them eat Thanksgiving food to keep their bodies at peak fitness levels. Corbin says he is thankfully to be Acting General Manager of Raw, Lashley says he is thankful for "all those beta males" who waste their lives away while he takes what he wants, and McIntyre says he is thankful for the beating that Strowman was given last week. After a replay of last week's attack on Strowman, Corbin says that Strowman won't be seen on Raw for a very long time before announcing that he has footage of Strowman being prepped for surgery in Birmingham, Alabama. We see footage of Braun Strowman in the operating room as well as his bruised elbow, saying he would rather be in Milwaukee, Wisconsin as there are three spineless slimeballs waiting to get what is coming to them. He admits he will be on the shelf for a while, but he will be back 100% and he will make the beating he received look like paper cuts compared to what he will do to them. Corbin says there is no way Strowman will be medically cleared to compete at TLC, and says their match is on and he will win by forfeit to become permanent Raw General Manager. He says that from here on out, he should be known as "General Manager-Elect" and that the Superstars will have choose which side of history they will be on, as he will remember who was with him and against him. Suddenly, the lights go out, and Corbin demands they come back on. Suddenly, Elias' guitar is heard. The lights come back on, and Elias is on the stage. He says he could not sit backstage any more and hear Corbin's voice, and says Corbin, Lashley and McIntyre can't get that WWE stands for "Walk With Elias." He also says he cannot think of anyone worse than Corbin to be General Manager, then says tonight is about "Bobby Trashley" before mocking Lashley in song.
Elias beats Bobby Lashley by disqualification after Lio Rush drags the referee out of the ring. Acting General Manager Baron Corbin then declares that the match is not over and that Elias interrupted him before he could say that this match is a no-disqualification match. After that, Lashley viciously attacks Elias, and Corbin and McIntyre join in before Lashley ends the match with a nonchalant pinfall attempt as he poses.
Backstage, Baron Corbin fires a backstage worker, then is met by Alexa Bliss, who is impressed. She tells Corbin he is doing a great job, and says that if he needs anything, all he needs to do is ask. Corbin tells Alexa she did a great job at Survivor Series, and asks her to oversee the entire Raw Women's division. Alexa is amazed, and she thanks Corbin and takes the job.
We hear from Dean Ambrose at his doctor's office. Ambrose says he would not expose him on Raw in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and while Seth Rollins would say he is disappointed he is not here, he should be relieved, as he won't be there for Rollins' Intercontinental Championship. He then says it is flu season and that he does not wish to catch anything, calling Rollins' fans "vermin" and saying that they carry diseases as he receives shots from his doctor. After saying he will not be on Raw next week without his shots, he then says that Rollins is a lost cause, and at TLC, he will be merciful and put him out of his misery for good.
Before the next match, Dash Wilder says that he and Scott Dawson were so appalled by Lucha House Rules last week that they were not ready to compete. Dawson says tag team comes with an etiquette like golf, and says that The Lucha House Party (Kalisto, Gran Metalik, Lince Dorado) should not be leaping around. He says that they have demanded a rematch, saying that if The Lucha House Party cannot respect their tradition, they should not be in the tag team division. It is then announced that this match will be contested under Lucha House Rules.

Nia Jax and Tamina Snuka show up. Nia says everybody has so much to be thankful for this year, and says the Raw roster should be thankful for her after being sole survivor at Survivor Series and breaking Becky Lynch's face. She brags about putting Becky on the shelf with a concussion, and says "The Man" was no match for "The Facebreaker" and that "Rowdy" Ronda Rousey should be used to things being taken from her as she will soon take her title. Nia says that Ronda came to WWE on a high note, but ever since she faced her at Money In The Bank, Ronda's career has been in a downturn. After showing footage from Money In The Bank as well as Survivor Series, Nia says Ronda took a beating like a champion before mocking her. She then says Ronda will face her worst day when she faces her again at TLC. Nia then brags about what she has recently done again and says that the top of the mountain belongs to her. After that, Ronda Rousey shows up. Ronda gives Nia credit, saying that Nia Jax won the battle royal and that it was not luck that did. She tells Nia she is lucky that she came from a famous warrior-like wrestling family and that she didn't punch her to become "The Facebreaker." Ronda then promises to rip Nia's arm off at TLC and slap Charlotte Flair across the face with it, and says that since Nia is in the mood to fight, she can have a shot at the champ right here, right now. Nia says they will not do it this way, saying she could beat Ronda right here, right now, but she just got done washing Becky Lynch's blood from her knuckles. Ronda tells her to stop making excuses, but Nia says she is stalling for time. As Tamina and Nia corner Ronda, Natalya runs in, but is soon attacked by The Riott Squad (Ruby Riott, Liv Morgan, Sarah Logan), who show up from out of nowhere. Ronda runs out of the ring and chases The Riott Squad away.

While Ambrose will be here next week - and not tonight - he says Dean is a liar and that he may be in the arena somewhere. Rollins then issues an open challenge for the WWE Intercontinental Championship, and the challenge is answered by Dolph Ziggler. Dolph says he is glad Seth Rollins is back to being himself, saying his heart hasn't been in it as of late.

Starrcade 2018 One-Hour Special - The Results
Elias is in the center of the ring to start tonight's show. He plays guitar, then asks who wants to walk with him. He then says there is a man who is walking with him tonight who was not only at the very first Starrcade, but also a legend in wrestling as well as in life. That man is "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair, who shows up. Flair says he has been dying to walk with Elias since he first saw him, then mentions his match with Harley Race at Starrcade 1983 before saying he is proud to be part of this show as well as WWE. Before Elias can perform a song about Ric Flair, however, Mickie James, Tamina, Nia Jax and Alicia Fox all show up. Nia Jax tells Elias that the four of them want to walk with him, and Elias says it is no surprise that all the women want to walk with him. Elias proposes that everyone join in on his performance of "Elias' Words." Nia Jax screeches the lyrics on her part, and Elias says she should shut her mouth just like she should have three minutes ago. He then proceeds to bring out four of his own friends for the performance instead: Ember Moon, Bayley, Sasha Banks and Dana Brooke.

He says he might be insane as he and "The Phenomenal" AJ Styles have gone at it over and over with the results somewhat the same. He then says that maybe Styles is the insane one, as while he has taken a piece of Styles with him and made him crumble a little more inside every time they have fought, and Styles has never come out of it whole. He says that Styles has had a lot pulled out of him, and says the definition of insanity is Styles getting into the cage with him expecting to come out at all. He tells Styles to enjoy his friends and family, for he will put him to sleep.
It's time for Miz TV, and tonight's guests are Rey Mysterio and Shinsuke Nakamura, who will challenge for the WWE United States Championship tonight. Rey comes out first with a neck brace around his neck, however, and his movements towards and inside of the ring are slower, then Shinsuke Nakamura shows up afterwards. Miz says it is nice to see Rey's face hidden again after Randy Orton ripped his mask off and tried to end his career, and asks why he is at Starrcade when he should be at home healing. Rey says Starrcade holds something in his heart that Miz does not understand, for Starrcade is where he saw his heroes like "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair, "The American Dream" Dusty Rhodes, Sting and Eddie Guerrero for the very first time. He says it is important for him to leave a piece of history tonight by beating Nakamura and becoming United States Champion. Miz asks Nakamura what it would be like to play spoiler if he wins tonight. Nakamura has trouble pronouncing "Starrcade" before saying he knows about it and that he doesn't care for the event or for Rey, saying he liked seeing Randy Orton "go evil on him." Miz laughs along with Nakamura, and Rey tells him to shut it. Miz tells Rey he cost SmackDown Live the men's team's match at Survivor Series, but Rey reminds him he was team captain and that he also got beat, and tells him that when his hand goes up, Miz's mouth goes shut. He also tells Nakamura that if he liked what Orton did to him, then he dares Nakamura to get evil on him. Miz chastises Rey for using one of his catchphrases against him, then Nakamura takes advantage of the situation by hitting a cheap shot. Miz asks for a referee, and this starts the next match early.

Honor Roll - Ring of Honor recap for November 24, 2018
Before the next match, Matt Taven asks if the match he is in is a joke, and says he knows The Boys are trying to stick up for Dalton Castle before telling them he and TK O'Ryan will hurt them and put them on the shelf like they did Castle. He tells TK O'Ryan to go up to the commentary table and talk about how great he is, as he can beat them all by himself and teach them a lesson their father should have taught them: you don't mess with the leader of the pride, especially when he is the real ROH World Champion. He then hits one of The Boys with his championship belt, starting the next match.
Matt Taven beats The Boys after Vinny Marseglia drags one of The Boys underneath the ring.
We hear from "The American Nightmare" Cody Rhodes, who talks about his time in ROH as well as how the odds have always been against him when it came to reclaiming the ROH World Championship, and says when it comes to a one-on-one match for the title against Jay Lethal, he would not want it any other way.
Ian Riccoboni interviews "The Octopus" Jonathan Gresham in the ring. Gresham says that it is obvious that his tag team partner Jay Lethal has a ROH World Championship match at Final Battle, leaving him without a match. He says that he wants to prove he is the best pure wrestler in the world, and at Final Battle, he is issuing an open challenge to anyone in the world at Final Battle so he can prove he is best pure wrestler in the world. Suddenly, Zack Sabre Jr. shows up on the video screen to announce that he will take on Gresham at Final Battle. Afterwards, Gresham tells the fans to tune in to Honor Club so they can watch him make Zack Sabre Jr. tap out.
We see "Almighty" Christopher Daniels on the phone in a hotel room. After he hangs up, he tells "The Heavy Metal Rebel" Frankie Kazarian and Scorpio Sky that they have contracts, but he does not, because they are tag team champions. Daniels tells Kazarian and Sky that he will figure something out.

Afterwards, Jay Brisco and Matt Jackson fight each other with the steel chairs, then the chairs get thrown at referee Todd Sinclair, who gets knocked out. After this, both team brawl until security shows up and stops everything. Suddenly, SoCal Uncensored ("The Heavy Metal Rebel" Frankie Kazarian and Scorpio Sky) show up, and Scorpio reminds everyone that this match was supposed to decide #1 contenders for the tag team titles, but both teams lost. He says this does not work for the fans and that it definitely does not work for SoCal Uncensored. Kazarian mentions that the last time he held one of the titles, The Young Bucks took it from them in something other than an ordinary match that sent both him and "Almighty" Christopher Daniels to the hospital. He also reminds The Briscoes that SoCal Uncensored is still at war with them before declaring that they are ready to defend the tag team titles at Final Battle, but not in a ordinary match. Instead, it will be in a Ladder War.
Next week: Jeff Cobbs vs. Josh "The Goods" Woods! "Almighty" Christopher Daniels vs. Kenny King! Guerrero Maya Jr. and Stuka Jr. vs. SoCal Uncensored ("The Heavy Metal Rebel" Frankie Kazarian and Scorpio Sky)!
Matt Taven beats The Boys after Vinny Marseglia drags one of The Boys underneath the ring.
We hear from "The American Nightmare" Cody Rhodes, who talks about his time in ROH as well as how the odds have always been against him when it came to reclaiming the ROH World Championship, and says when it comes to a one-on-one match for the title against Jay Lethal, he would not want it any other way.
Ian Riccoboni interviews "The Octopus" Jonathan Gresham in the ring. Gresham says that it is obvious that his tag team partner Jay Lethal has a ROH World Championship match at Final Battle, leaving him without a match. He says that he wants to prove he is the best pure wrestler in the world, and at Final Battle, he is issuing an open challenge to anyone in the world at Final Battle so he can prove he is best pure wrestler in the world. Suddenly, Zack Sabre Jr. shows up on the video screen to announce that he will take on Gresham at Final Battle. Afterwards, Gresham tells the fans to tune in to Honor Club so they can watch him make Zack Sabre Jr. tap out.
We see "Almighty" Christopher Daniels on the phone in a hotel room. After he hangs up, he tells "The Heavy Metal Rebel" Frankie Kazarian and Scorpio Sky that they have contracts, but he does not, because they are tag team champions. Daniels tells Kazarian and Sky that he will figure something out.
Kelly Klein beats Jenny Rose to qualify for the Four Corners Survival Match for the ROH Women of Honor World Championship at Final Battle. During the match, Sumie Sakai sits in a steel chair on the stage to get a closer look.
The Young Bucks (Matt and Nick Jackson) vs. The Briscoes (Jay and Mark Briscoe) ends in a double disqualification after Jay Brisco and Matt Jackson throw steel chairs at the partners of the other team at the same time. Afterwards, Jay Brisco and Matt Jackson fight each other with the steel chairs, then the chairs get thrown at referee Todd Sinclair, who gets knocked out. After this, both team brawl until security shows up and stops everything. Suddenly, SoCal Uncensored ("The Heavy Metal Rebel" Frankie Kazarian and Scorpio Sky) show up, and Scorpio reminds everyone that this match was supposed to decide #1 contenders for the tag team titles, but both teams lost. He says this does not work for the fans and that it definitely does not work for SoCal Uncensored. Kazarian mentions that the last time he held one of the titles, The Young Bucks took it from them in something other than an ordinary match that sent both him and "Almighty" Christopher Daniels to the hospital. He also reminds The Briscoes that SoCal Uncensored is still at war with them before declaring that they are ready to defend the tag team titles at Final Battle, but not in a ordinary match. Instead, it will be in a Ladder War.
Next week: Jeff Cobbs vs. Josh "The Goods" Woods! "Almighty" Christopher Daniels vs. Kenny King! Guerrero Maya Jr. and Stuka Jr. vs. SoCal Uncensored ("The Heavy Metal Rebel" Frankie Kazarian and Scorpio Sky)!

Final Impact - Impact Wrestling recap for November 22, 2018
Mackenzie Mitchell introduces everyone to tonight's show, which includes the second annual Eli Drake Gravy Train Turkey Trot: a ten-man tag team match where the person on the losing team who gets pin being forced to don the turkey suit. She then brings out the team captains: Fallah Bahh and Eli Drake. Fallah Bahh is not a man of many words, while Eli Drake goes on endlessly about Thanksgiving food before talking about tonight's show. We then see last year's Gravy Train Turkey Trot Match.
Mackenzie Mitchell and Fallah Bahh are at the tumbler. Fallah Bahh's first randomly chosen member is KM, who tells Fallah Bahh to focus on the food later and that tonight is all about teamwork.
Mackenzie Mitchell and Eli Drake are the tumbler. Eli Drake's first randomly selected partner is Katarina, who claims that her great-grandfather was one of the first Pilgrims to land on Massachusetts only to realize his mistake and come back home. Nevertheless, she shares his adventurous spirit. Eli Drake still is not impressed.
We see footage from the 2007 Turkey Bowl, courtesy of GWN.
Fallah Bahh and KM are at the tumbler with Mackenzie Mitchell. Fallah Bahh's second member is none other than Japanese comedy wrestler Kikutaro.
"The Smoke Show" Scarlett Bordeaux shows up after the stars of Sexxy Show strut onto the stage. We then see more videos that have been sent to in as part of Bordeaux's talent search.
Eli Drake knocks down a vase - and - as he randomly picks Jake Crist for his second team member. Jake shows up with Dave Crist and Sami Callihan, the latter of whom just wants this match over with. Eli Drake says that as long as nobody on his team ends up in the turkey suit, they will get along fine. Sami Callihan says that if Jake ends up in the turkey suit, he will be eating nothing but the onions while he and Dave Crist eat everything else.
We hear from members of the Impact Wrestling roster about their favorite Thanksgiving memories.
Fallah Bahh's third randomly picked team member is Dezmond Xavier, who has no idea what is going on and has to be reminded that he is on Fallah's team, not against them.
Eli Drake's third randomly picked team member - after Eli Drake is thankful for oVe (Jake Crist, Dave Crist, Sami Callihan) for getting Fallah Bahh to say "Every Bahh" in the last segment - is Rohit Raju. He shows up with Raj Singh and Gama Singh, with Gama Singh saying that he is glad that Rohit Raju got picked, and promised that Raj and Rohit will ruin Thanksgiving, with Raj adding "by any means necessary." Afterwards, Rohit Raju imitates Eli Drake and it does not go over well with Raj and Gama.
We hear from more members of the Impact Wrestling roster about their favorite Thanksgiving memories.
Fallah Bahh's fourth randomly picked team member is Alisha Edwards. KM has to remind Fallah Bahh that Alisha is married to Eddie Edwards, then they tell a Pilgrim joke that only they laugh at.
Eli Drake's fourth randomly picked team member is Glenn Gilberti, formerly known as Disco Inferno. Glenn Gilberti says he is in this to impress "The Smoke Show" Scarlett Bordeaux. He says that CGI - class, good lucks and intelligence - will be used to win this match, and afterwards, he wants Eli Drake to be his best man when he marries Bordeaux. Eli Drake and Mackenzie Mitchell then have a toast with two plastic cups with water in them.
It is announced that the Ultimate X match will return at Homecoming and that a new Impact Wrestling X Division Champion will be crowned.
Glenn Gilberti shows up and claims he invented the Ultimate X Match in 2003, saying it was his idea to have the X Division on top of a building and have them throw each other off, but Impact Wrestling said it was too dangerous and put wires across the ring instead. He says that Don Callis did not come up with it, saying that the last idea Callis came up with died of loneliness.
We look back on the history of Option C.
We see the turkey suit for the Eli Drake Gravy Train Turkey Trot, then we hear from Eli Drake. Drake says the only thing his team has to worry about is not having to wear the turkey suit. As everyone has their say and also has to calm Jake Crist down, "The Smoke Show" Scarlett Bordeaux shows up dressed as a sexy pilgrim and says that she is scouting for talent tonight, and hopes that Eli Drake's team is hungry to win. She also says she doesn't like turkey; she likes stuffing, and that Glenn Gilberti looks familiar.
We hear from Fallah Bahh, who takes the match seriously before cracking another Plymouth Rock reference on Alisha Edwards.
Before the next match, all of the members of Team Drake (Eli Drake, Katarina, Jake Crist, Rohit Raju, Glenn Gilberti) and Team Bahh (Fallah Bahh, KM, Kikutaro, Dezmond Xavier, Alisha Edwards) make an oath stating that they must wear the turkey suit if they are pinned or submitted in the match.
Team Bahh (Fallah Bahh, KM, Kikutaro, Dezmond Xavier, Alisha Edwards) beat Team Drake (Eli Drake, Katarina, Jake Crist, Rohit Raju, Glenn Gilberti) after Bahh pins Gilberti with a Banzai Drop. During the match, "The Smoke Show" Scarlett Bordeaux shows up and distracts everyone, and Glenn Gilberti follows her around before she sits on stage to scout talent during the match. The referee is also distracted until Kikutaro whips him around. After the match, Glenn Gilberti is forced to wear the turkey suit. Gilberti refuses, but is coaxed into wearing the suit by Bordeaux, who says that she loves a man who doesn't take himself so seriously. Bordeaux then tells Gilberti he looks like an absolute idiot and leaves, and Gilberti says she's just trying to play hard to get.

Layin' da SmackDown - SmackDown Live recap for November 20, 2018
Charlotte Flair shows up to start tonight's show. Charlotte says she put "the baddest beating" on the "so-called baddest woman on the planet, and she is proud of it. She asks if "Rowdy" Ronda Rousey is walking slower, checking her bruises and wanting an apology, as she is not sorry and enjoyed every second of beating her ass. She says she did it for Becky Lynch and for SmackDown Live, and while has has fought with Becky Lynch, she fought for her on Sunday and gave Ronda the beating that Becky would have given Ronda, who she says "bowed down to the Queen." General Manager Paige shows up and says she speaks for SmackDown Live and the fans when she says she enjoyed the beatdown she gave Ronda, and says that Ronda has said she will find her and finish what they started. Charlotte says that if Ronda sticks her nose in the business, she will stick her head in a steel chair and stomp it over and over again, as nobody is going to stop her. Paige says this is why she is here, because Charlotte snapped. Paige tells her she cannot put her hands on a referee, let alone five, and she is left no choice but to fine her $100,000. Suddenly, The IIconics (Billie Kay and Peyton Royce) show up. Peyton is staring into space like she is in a trance, and Billie mentions that Peyton is making fun of Charlotte. Billie and Peyton make fun of Charlotte's actions, then say they are Paige's favorites. The IIconics feel like doing something pertaining to the $100,000 fine, but Charlotte gets so annoyed with them that she immediately says that one of them is going to get beat up. This starts an impromptu match.
Charlotte Flair beats Billie Kay. After the match, Charlotte Flair then challenges Peyton Royce to a fight. Peyton is reluctant to get in the ring, and when she finally gets in, she immediately runs out. As the show goes into picture-in-picture mode for the first hour, Peyton gets back in the ring. This leads to another match.
Charlotte Flair beats Peyton Royce by disqualification after Billie Kay gets involved in the match. After the match, The IIconics (Billie Kay and Peyton Royce) toss Charlotte out of the ring and try to get a steel chair, but the timekeeper won't let them. They then turn around to a Charlotte Flair Spear, then Charlotte snaps again and smacks them into the announce table. Charlotte then tosses The IIconics around before posing on the announce table.
We hear from Rey Mysterio, who says his eyes have seen a lot, but he has not seen anything like Randy Orton. They go back over a decade, but Orton is now more sadistic than ever. He knows Orton wants to do the same thing to him, but he did not come back to be another of Orton's victims, and while Orton is on the top of his game, so is he.
It's time for Miz TV. Tonight's special guest is Commissioner Shane McMahon. The Miz says it was an honor fighting with Shane McMahon before bringing him out. Shane slowly makes his way to the ring, and The Miz says that Shane's performance on Sunday was nothing short of brilliant as he takes some of the credit for Shane's accomplishments as of late. The Miz then says he has only question for Shane: "Will you team up with me?" He says that he not only saw a Commissioner, but a fighter and a champion. Shane does not know what to make of it, but Miz says that if Shane was as much of a McMahon as he thinks he is, he would team with him in a match right now. Two random wrestlers, The Bryant Brothers - Wayne and Dane - show up, and an impromptu match begins.
The Bryant Brothers (Wayne and Dane Bryant) beat The Miz and Shane McMahon after The Miz insists that Shane get the win for their team, allowing Miz to be distracted and Dane Bryant to win with an inside cradle. (Dane Bryant is portrayed by independent wrestler Eli Everfly, while Wayne is portrayed by independent wrestler “All That” Keita Murray.)
It is announced that Starrcade will take place 7:30 PM on Saturday at the US Bank Arena in Cleveland, Ohio, and that a one-hour special presentation will air on WWE Network at 8 PM Eastern/7 PM Central on Sunday.
The New Day (Kofi Kingston, Big E, Xavier Woods) - dressed up as Pilgrims - meet with R-Truth - who is dressed like the Gobbledygooker - backstage.
The New Day (Kofi Kingston, Big E, Xavier Woods) - still dressed up as Pilgrims - are in the ring with a Thanksgiving dinner set up in the center, and talk about the very first Thanksgiving Feast Fight, which they will be a part of. Woods says that unlike regular Thanksgiving dinner, you can throw food at people you don't like, and Xavier Woods makes a reference to SmackDown Live's Survivor Series kick-off victory, which Kofi mentions did not count towards the grand total as he says he is thankful for it. Woods says he is thankful for his 2 TB hard drive so he does not have to delete Spider-Man to make room for Red Dead Redemption 2, while Big E says he is thankful for the turkey breasts on the table. Suddenly, The Bar and Big Show show up, and Cesaro verbally bashes the Thanksgiving dinner in the ring before Kofi reminds them that they lost their match while The New Day won at the kick-off.Sheamus says they were not ready for spontaneous urination, and that they will make up for Sunday by winning tonight.
The New Day (Kofi Kingston, Big E, Xavier Woods) beat The Bar (Sheamus and Cesaro) and Big Show in a Thanksgiving Feast Fight. After the match, Cesaro tries to get the last word in by hitting The New Day with food, but gets clobbered with several dishes' worth.
We hear from Randy Orton, who looks at a Rey Mysterio mask and says some people think it represents culture, pride and respect. To him, it is just cheap polyester and deserves to be destroyed. He also says that Rey Mysterio should be destroyed, and instead of excitement, the fans will be full of shock, horror and disappointment after what he does to Rey.
Asuka and Naomi beat Mandy Rose and Sonya Deville with an Asuka Lock to Sonya Deville.
Daniel Bryan shows up. Daniel Bryan says the fans will not understand his explanation, and says he committed an act of betrayal, not last week, but three years ago when he announced his retirement and gave up on his dreams. He then says the difference between he and the fans is that he does not accept failure, and spent hours in a hyperbaric chamber not just to speed up the healing process, but to meditate on his new mantra "Fight for your dreams and your dreams will fight for you." He says it worked, and he came back to the wrestling ring. When he returned, he received the greatest ovation he ever heard, and it was a great moment, but for the fans, it was just a moment and that they were only there for the struggle. He says the fans did not know the rest of the story, especially psychologists telling him to move on, and the only people who moved on were the fans, who chanted for "The Phenomenal" AJ Styles. He calls the fans "fickle," and says that as the chants for him grew quieter, he stopped fighting. When the referee was down, his dreams took over and did what they were programmed to do: kick Styles in the balls. He says his dreams made him realize that he did not need the fans for anything, and told him that he didn't need to Brock Lesnar to win; instead, he won by allowing Brock Lesnar to beat the weakness out of him. With no weakness, there would be a new emergence out of that match, and the old Daniel Bryan that the fans loved is dead. He declares the Yes! Movement dead, and that all that is left is the new Daniel Bryan, who is WWE Champion. He says the only thing that matters is that he never, ever gives up on his dreams ever again. Daniel Bryan then gets out of the ring and demands that ring announcer Greg Hamilton address him as "The New Daniel Bryan."

Charlotte Flair beats Peyton Royce by disqualification after Billie Kay gets involved in the match. After the match, The IIconics (Billie Kay and Peyton Royce) toss Charlotte out of the ring and try to get a steel chair, but the timekeeper won't let them. They then turn around to a Charlotte Flair Spear, then Charlotte snaps again and smacks them into the announce table. Charlotte then tosses The IIconics around before posing on the announce table.
We hear from Rey Mysterio, who says his eyes have seen a lot, but he has not seen anything like Randy Orton. They go back over a decade, but Orton is now more sadistic than ever. He knows Orton wants to do the same thing to him, but he did not come back to be another of Orton's victims, and while Orton is on the top of his game, so is he.
It's time for Miz TV. Tonight's special guest is Commissioner Shane McMahon. The Miz says it was an honor fighting with Shane McMahon before bringing him out. Shane slowly makes his way to the ring, and The Miz says that Shane's performance on Sunday was nothing short of brilliant as he takes some of the credit for Shane's accomplishments as of late. The Miz then says he has only question for Shane: "Will you team up with me?" He says that he not only saw a Commissioner, but a fighter and a champion. Shane does not know what to make of it, but Miz says that if Shane was as much of a McMahon as he thinks he is, he would team with him in a match right now. Two random wrestlers, The Bryant Brothers - Wayne and Dane - show up, and an impromptu match begins.
The Bryant Brothers (Wayne and Dane Bryant) beat The Miz and Shane McMahon after The Miz insists that Shane get the win for their team, allowing Miz to be distracted and Dane Bryant to win with an inside cradle.

The New Day (Kofi Kingston, Big E, Xavier Woods) - dressed up as Pilgrims - meet with R-Truth - who is dressed like the Gobbledygooker - backstage.
The New Day (Kofi Kingston, Big E, Xavier Woods) - still dressed up as Pilgrims - are in the ring with a Thanksgiving dinner set up in the center, and talk about the very first Thanksgiving Feast Fight, which they will be a part of. Woods says that unlike regular Thanksgiving dinner, you can throw food at people you don't like, and Xavier Woods makes a reference to SmackDown Live's Survivor Series kick-off victory, which Kofi mentions did not count towards the grand total as he says he is thankful for it. Woods says he is thankful for his 2 TB hard drive so he does not have to delete Spider-Man to make room for Red Dead Redemption 2, while Big E says he is thankful for the turkey breasts on the table. Suddenly, The Bar and Big Show show up, and Cesaro verbally bashes the Thanksgiving dinner in the ring before Kofi reminds them that they lost their match while The New Day won at the kick-off.Sheamus says they were not ready for spontaneous urination, and that they will make up for Sunday by winning tonight.

We hear from Randy Orton, who looks at a Rey Mysterio mask and says some people think it represents culture, pride and respect. To him, it is just cheap polyester and deserves to be destroyed. He also says that Rey Mysterio should be destroyed, and instead of excitement, the fans will be full of shock, horror and disappointment after what he does to Rey.
Asuka and Naomi beat Mandy Rose and Sonya Deville with an Asuka Lock to Sonya Deville.
Daniel Bryan shows up. Daniel Bryan says the fans will not understand his explanation, and says he committed an act of betrayal, not last week, but three years ago when he announced his retirement and gave up on his dreams. He then says the difference between he and the fans is that he does not accept failure, and spent hours in a hyperbaric chamber not just to speed up the healing process, but to meditate on his new mantra "Fight for your dreams and your dreams will fight for you." He says it worked, and he came back to the wrestling ring. When he returned, he received the greatest ovation he ever heard, and it was a great moment, but for the fans, it was just a moment and that they were only there for the struggle. He says the fans did not know the rest of the story, especially psychologists telling him to move on, and the only people who moved on were the fans, who chanted for "The Phenomenal" AJ Styles. He calls the fans "fickle," and says that as the chants for him grew quieter, he stopped fighting.

Raw Deal - Raw recap for November 19, 2018
Acting General Manager Baron Corbin is in the ring to start tonight's show. He welcomes everyone to "The Undisputed A-Show" before bragging about Raw's Survivor Series sweep. He credits the streak to Commissioner Stephanie McMahon, who shows up. Stephanie says that a lot of Raw's success last night should be attributed to Baron Corbin, and thanks every Superstar on the Raw roster for decimating SmackDown Live last night. He says that SmackDown Live has to lie, cheat and steal, but they don't, and tonight, Raw is going to celebrate. Corbin reminds Stephanie that she promised to make him permanent General Manager, but before Stephanie can say anything, Braun Strowman shows up. Strowman says he held up his end of the bargain last night, and demands that Stephanie hold up hers by making a match against Corbin official. Stephanie makes the match against Corbin at TLC, and if Corbin wins, he will officially become permanent General Manager. However, if Corbin loses, he will lose all authority. Strowman also reminds Corbin that Stephanie has allowed him to pick the stipulation and has stated that he cannot be held liable for ripping him to shreds. Strowman also asks about his Universal Championship match against Brock Lesnar. Stephanie tells Strowman he can get that match for Royal Rumble, but only if he can beat Corbin at TLC. When Stephanies asks Strowman if he agrees to those terms, Strowman welcomes Corbin to "Monday Night Braun." He then announces that his match against Baron Corbin will be a TLC Match, and he will not only get hands, but also Tables, Ladders and Chairs. Corbin says the match is a mistake and favors him, and he will leave him in a pile of steel and rubble. He also says that will be if he even makes it to TLC, as he will face Bobby Lashley and Drew McIntyre in a 2-on-1 handicap match. Stephanie ups the ante and makes it a six-man elimination tag match. She makes the match Lashley, McIntyre and Baron Corbin vs. Strowman, Elias and Finn Balor and makes the match happen right now.
Elias, Finn Balor and Braun Strowman beat Bobby Lashley, Drew McIntyre and Baron Corbin by disqualification in a six-man elimination tag team match. During the match, McIntyre gets eliminated after hitting Strowman with a steel chair, and the match de-evolves into a 3-on-1 ringside beatdown where Strowman is assaulted with a steel chair before Lashley wraps Corbin's belt around Strowman's wrist and Corbin slams steel steps into Strowman's shoulder. Strowman is in pain, and referees run in to check on Strowman, who is bleeding from a potentially-injured elbow. Medical staff check on Strowman says that he cannot move his arm or feel his fingers in his hurt arm.
Seth Rollins shows up. Rollins thanks the fans for their support last night, and announces that last night was six years to the day that The Shield (Dean Ambrose, Seth Rollins, Roman Reigns) debuted. Together, they ran the WWE, and after last night, he reflected on that time, and says it has made the situation with Dean Ambrose harder. He says that Ambrose still has yet to face him in the ring like a man, but at TLC, he will not have a choice as the Intercontinental Championship is on the line. Rollins then says he paid attention to everything Ambrose said and did last week, and says that he learned more about Dean Ambrose on the recent WWE Network special about him than he has ever learned about him in ten years. When he heard Dean Ambrose say he loves the WWE, that was the first time he ever heard him say the world "love." He also says that while Dean loves the idea of a match, all he has been doing is hiding. He says that will not last, and calls him out for a fight. Dean appears on the TitanTron again and says Seth is getting desperate, and tells him things have changed. He says The Shield did more harm than good, and that nobody knew who they were away from the camera and behind the scenes, saying they were rotten to the core from the beginning and that it is catching up to them. He says Roman Reigns has to answer to the man upstairs for what he has done in The Shield, and even worse, Seth has to answer to him. He then says he is backstage, and dares Seth to find him so he can show him what happens next. Seth Rollins runs out of the ring and into the back. Rollins asks security where Ambrose is, and one of them tells Rollins to get out of his face. Not surprisingly, the security guard gets punched in the face.

She says she will find Charlotte Flair and finish what they started last night, and she did not come here to hit poses, ask for sympathy and talk about fighting, but to show what a true champion is. Ronda then takes off her jacket, says this is her worse day, and issues an open challenge, saying if she can't defend it successfully tonight, she shouldn't defend it anyway. Acting General Manager Baron Corbin shows up. He reconsiders getting in the ring before telling her that her request for an open challenge has been denied, as she cannot allow her to compete tonight. Ronda says she has had 17 fights and has never pulled out of one, and tells Corbin to go find her a challenger before thinking that maybe Corbin wants a shot at her.

Survivor Series 2018 - The LIVE Results
In the locker room, Alexa Bliss speaks with the Raw women's team, telling them they are beating SmackDown Live's team at their own game. Winning is not enough; she wants complete humiliation. After Nia Jax brags about what she did to Becky Lynch, Ruby Riott asks Natalya if she's glued her father's sunglasses back together. This leads to a fight between both women, and Alexa threatens to throw both of them off the team if they can't get along. Needless to say, the bickering continues, and they are out.
Backstage, Charly Caruso interviews Charlotte Flair, who says that social media is fickle and is not about what tonight is about; it is about Raw vs. SmackDown Live. Even though she is a "stand-in," she is still reliable and can still prove who she is. She also says that anyone can throw up four fingers, but she has the birthright to back it up. Tonight, she proves that she is still the queen and that even "the baddest woman on the planet" will still bow down.
Naomi speaks with the rest of SmackDown Live's women's team. She is confident that she can fill Charlotte's shoes as team captain, and says that no matter what, they must stay united. She is about to announce their new member when R-Truth shows up. Obviously, it is not him; it is really Mandy Rose. Mandy Rose then shows up and says she might have been a bit truthful, but she is not in the mood to fight with everyone else. This almost causes a row between the team members, but Naomi says that now is not the time and that they must put everything aside.
Lars Sullivan is coming soon to the main roster!
Before the next match, The New Day (Kofi Kingston, Big E, Xavier Woods) says that tonight is all about competition between Raw and SmackDown Live, and what better way than to do that with tag teams vs. tag teams. They then introduce their partners on Team SmackDown Live. When The Usos (Jimmy and Jey Uso) are introduced, they welcome Team Raw to "The SmackDown Penitentiary." When Team Raw shows up, Chad Gable says that they are here and that they will kick Survivor Series off with a win, then Bobby Roode says it will be absolutely glorious.
Team SmackDown Live (The Usos [Jimmy and Jey Uso], The New Day [Big E and Xavier Woods], Gallows & Anderson [Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson], The Colons [Primo and Epico], SAnitY [Eric Young and Killian Dain]) beat Team Raw (the team of Bobby Roode and Chad Gable, The Revival [Scott Dawson and Dash Wilder], The Lucha House Party [Kalisto, Lince Dorado and Gran Metalik], The Ascension [Konnor and Viktor], The B-Team [Bo Dallas and Curtis Axel]) in a Traditional 10-on-10 Survivor Series Tag Team Match, with The Usos as sole survivors. (During the match, Kalisto tweaks his knee and is injured, and Gran Metalik is allowed by the referee to take his place.)
Backstage, Charly Caruso interviews Raw women's team captain Alexa Bliss, who announces that Team Raw now has two vacancies thanks to Natalya and Ruby Riott's argument. Bayley and Sasha Banks are chosen by Alexa as replacements. Sasha Banks reminds the team that she and Bayley don't owe them anything after what they did to them last Monday night, and after this match, she and Bayley are going after all of them. Bayley also mentions that SmackDown Live crossed the line afterwards, and this is about proving Raw is the better brand.
Team Raw (Mickie James, Tamina, Nia Jax, Sasha Banks, Bayley) beats Team SmackDown Live (Naomi, Carmella, Mandy Rose, Sonya Deville, Asuka) in the women's Traditional 5-on-5 Survivor Series Match with Nia Jax - who is universally booed by the crowed during the match - as sole survivor after she betrays Sasha Banks by pushing her towards Asuka and into an Asuka Lock that eliminates her from the match. Raw has a 1-0 lead over SmackDown Live (the kick-off match is not counted).
Backstage, Raw Acting General Manager Baron Corbin tells tonight will be a big night for Raw, but Raw Commissioner Stephanie McMahon tells him that last week as a black mark of his career and tells him that Raw had better sweep tonight if he wants to make it permanent. SmackDown Live General Manager Paige and Commissioner Shane McMahon show up and tell them that they may be a little blue tonight, but Baron Corbin says SmackDown Live can't win it when it counts and make fun of the loss of AJ Styles and Becky Lynch. Shane says that tonight will not only be the night where they turn it around, but the night that her sister will fire Corbin.
Seth Rollins beats Shinsuke Nakamura. Raw is now ahead 2-0.
Backstage, the Raw men's team talks among themselves when Braun Strowman shows up and says he doesn't like everyone except for Finn Balor, whom he says is all right, and says that if nobody pulls their weight, they're getting hands. Drew McIntyre tells Strowman that everyone should be listening to him after what he's done as of late, then Acting Raw General Manager Baron Corbin shows up and says this is what SmackDown Live wants. Strowman and Corbin almost come to blows, and Corbin reminds Strowman of his agreement with Raw Commissioner Stephanie McMahon. Strowman responds by tossing Lio Rush into Corbin and leaving. R-Truth then shows up out of nowhere, saying "We're better than this!" even though he is not even on Raw, much less on the Raw men's team, and Corbin tells him to get out.
AOP (Akam and Rezar) beat The Bar (Sheamus and Cesaro) after Big Show grabs a running Drake Maverick by the throat after Cesaro chases Drake Maverick around the ring for putting Rezar's foot on the rope during a pinfall, which causes Drake Maverick to pee his pants and distract The Bar to the point that AOP wins with a double-team vertical suplex into a powerbomb. Raw now leads 3-0. (During the show, Enzo Amore is seen in the second row opposite the hard camera in a white hoodie. During the match, Enzo draws attention to himself, making a scene, and is promptly booted out by security.)
TLC: Tables, Ladders & Chairs is Sunday, December 16th!
The Miz talks with the rest of SmackDown Live's men's team in the locker room. He has an inspirational speech, and says Shane is the best to say it. Shane says SmackDown Live has always been underestimated and looked over, but they are SmackDown and they have what it takes. Suddenly, R-Truth shows up, wanting to join the SmackDown Live roster even though he is already on it. Miz then says that if the team wins, everyone gets a copy of The Marine 6: Close Quarters on Blu-Ray. R-Truth says he would love an autograph from Becky Lynch.
Buddy Murphy retains the WWE Cruiserweight Championship against Mustafa Ali.
Backstage, Kayla Braxton interviews Daniel Bryan. When asked if he is ready for Brock Lesnar despite very little preparation, Daniel simply smiles and walks away.
