Raw Deal - Raw recap for March 16, 2026

Seth "Freakin'" Rollins shows up with an army of masked hooded men in black to start tonight's show. Rollins says that he created The Vision ("The Oracle" Paul Heyman, Logan Paul, Austin Theory) and will be the one to kill The Vision, regardless of whether any member is on the shelf of hanging on, saying that anyone standing next to Paul Heyman is marked for death. Rollins says he had the satisfaction of hitting Heyman with a metal folding chair and a curb stomp. All of a sudden, Heyman - now with bruises on his face - shows up. Rollins dares Heyman to come to the ring, hoping that it was all worth it for Heyman and stating that allows him in his inner circle was the greatest mistake he ever made. He hopes to make Heyman pay for his betrayal for the rest of his days. Heyman says he did not want to come out here, then tells Rollins "FAFO" before saying "FAF5." Brock Lesnar shows up, and the masked men in hoodies surround Rollins in the ring. Lesnar removes his hat and leather vest before tearing through the masked men and scaring a few off. He soon overpowers all of them before coming face-to-face with Rollins. The lights go out, and when they come back on, Oba Femi shows up. Rollins stands in the corner as Oba Femi confronts Brock Lesnar in the middle of the ring, but when he tries to stand between them, Lesnar scares him off. Oba then hits Lesnar with the Fall from Grace and places a foot on top of Lesnar's chest before pointing at the WrestleMania sign, accepting Heyman and Lesnar's open challenge for WrestleMania in the process.

El Grande Americano II beats El Grande Americano I after Bravo Americano loads El Grande Americano II's mask as El Grande Americano I attacks Rayo Americano for getting involved in the match before going to the top rope for a headbutt only to hit his head on El Grande Americano II's loaded mask.

Roman Reigns arrives at the arena and meets up with The Usos (Jimmy and "Main Event" Jey Uso). Roman commends them for beating CM Punk up last week for running his mouth about his family before declaring that Punk belongs to him at WrestleMania.

We hear from Liv Morgan, who tells Finn Balor that getting rid of him has been part of her plan since she joined The Judgment Day and that Finn was on borrowed time. She says she knows Finn Balor and that is has been a pleasure watching him fall from grace. She says that Finn could not hang with The Judgment Day (JD McDonagh, "Dirty" Dominik Mysterio, Liv Morgan, Raquel Rodriguez) and that they took a play from his playbook to get rid of him, then declares that JD McDonagh is free from Finn Balor's control, that Dominik Mysterio will take back the Intercontinental Championship, that Raquel will take down Stephanie Vaquer tonight and that she herself will hold the Women's World Championship.

Backstage, The Usos (Jimmy and "Main Event" Jey Uso) meet with Roman Reigns. They state that CM Punk claims to have something on Roman but really has nothing, and is insulting Roman by calling him a part-timer, but Roman calls being a full-time father for his wife and child "the real flex." Jey says that Punk owes them an apology, but Roman says he does not need one even though The Usos do.

AJ Lee retains the WWE Women's Intercontinental Championship against Bayley by submission with the Black Widow after rolling away from a top rope elbow drop by Bayley.

Backstage, JD McDonagh argues with General Manager Adam Pearce. As Pearce states that "Dirty" Dominik Mysterio is not medically cleared, Penta walks by on his way to the ring.

After the commercial break, Becky Lynch attacks AJ Lee on the stage and at the entrance ramp. Referees and officials have to pull Becky away from AJ Lee, but Becky grabs the WWE Women's Intercontinental Championship and hits AJ Lee in the face with it.

Penta heads to the ring. He insists that he wants to be a fighting champion, then says he will defend his championship against anyone. Penta tells whoever comes to the ring to face him to be ready, and his open challenge is answered by Dragon Lee.

Penta retains the WWE Intercontinental Championship against Dragon Lee.

Backstage, Paul Heyman is met by Logan Paul and Austin Theory. Theory says that Seth "Freakin'" Rollins is a dead man and that they will take care of him, but Heyman warns them that they have no power and are out of position, and that they must get back into title contention. He says that if Logan and Theory can beat The Usos (Jimmy and "Main Event" Jey Uso) for the World Tag Team Championships, they can get back into singles title contention. Theory and Logan are more than game and willing to face The Usos.

Nattie beats Maxxine Dupri by submission with the Sharpshooter.

We see fan reactions of Randy Orton's attack on "The American Nightmare" Cody Rhodes from last week's SmackDown, which is now the most viewed moment in social media for WWE in 2026 with 112 million views.

Michael Cole interviews Randy Orton. Orton is on the phone with someone at the start of the interview, which Orton changes his mind on after having a conversation with someone that made him understand who he is, which caused him to attack "The American Nightmare" Cody Rhodes. Orton says he is a killer, and says that wrestling has more than one royal family.

Backstage, Dragon Lee is met by Je'Von Evans, but they are soon met by Kofi Kingston. Dragon Lee leaves, and Kofi advises Je'Von that it is all about who one associates with, and mocks Dragon Lee in the process, saying that he is "dragon Je'Von down." Je'Von declines Kofi's offer to join The New Day (Kofi Kingston, Xavier Woods, Grayson Waller). Grayson Waller shows up after Je'Von leaves, then Danhausen shows up, thinking that Kofi Kingston is replacing Xavier Woods. Kofi is not in the mood for Danhausen's ideas, as is Grayson, and puts Grayson in front of him when Danhausen tries to curse Kofi. Danhausen disappears afterwards.

Stephanie Vaquer beats Raquel Rodriguez after taking out Liv Morgan on the outside following Iyo Sky confronting Liv Morgan only to be pounced into the announce table by Raquel. Afterwards, Raquel goes for a Tejana Bomb back in the ring, but Vaquer slips out and pins Raquel to win.

Backstage, Bayley is unhappy with herself for losing tonight, and Lyra says that the both of them are going to WrestleMania and that they are going to get there together. The Kabuki Warriors (Asuka and Kairi Sane) confront Bayley and Lyra for costing them championship gold, and says that the two of them are not ready for her. Kairi tells Bayley and Lyra "Stay away from us" before Asuka yells at her. Lyra and Bayley soon realize they have their path to WrestleMania.

Backstage, The Usos (Jimmy and "Main Event" Jey Uso) run into LA Knight. LA Knight says that The Vision have all their names in their mouths, then says that Roman Reigns is getting a little too cozy. Jimmy tells Knight it is family business and to mind his business, but Knight says that if The Bloodline (Roman Reigns, "Main Event" Jey Uso, Jimmy Uso) comes back, they will not be on the same page. Knight fistbumps Jimmy, but Jey refuses to reciprocate.

Roman Reigns heads to the ring. Roman calls out CM Punk so they can handle some business, and CM Punk shows up and makes his way to the ring. Punk takes exception to being called "Phil," saying calling Roman "Joe" would be an insult to Samoa Joe, but Roman says that if Punk called Samoa Joe, he would remind him who the real tribal chief is. On the subject of Roman sending his family after him, Punk says all they will do is high five him.On the subject of Roman sending his family after him, Punk says all they will do is high five him. Punk then admits that while The Usos (Jimmy and "Main Event" Jey Uso) took care of family business and had the right message, and that he deserved what he got last week, they had the wrong messenger. Roman is "trite and redundant" and repeats the same thing over and over. He tells Punk not to waste his time until he can come up with a promo that can surprise him, but Punk stops Roman from leaving, saying that this is his show. He says that he is in Roman's head and under Roman's skin, and that he will never point at the WrestleMania sign again. Punk tells Roman that he will hit him with the GTS and split his ego in two at WrestleMania. Roman tells Punk is delusional, saying he cannot faze him even though he is good with the mental game, and that Punk "can't do the walkin'." He says that Punk is nothing to him and is not faster or stronger than him, and says that Punk is not only a tryhard who embarrasses everyone else, he is old. Punk sucker punches Roman, and officials have to get between Punk and Roman. Roman is smiling and laughing as the show fades to black.

In loving memory of Davey Coates, 1962 - 2026. (Davey Coates was a former long-time veteran member of WWE's production team and was instrumental in keeping NXT UK running during the COVID-19 pandemic in more recent years.)

Here is this week's Raw Recap!

Here are the top ten moments from tonight's show!

Raw Deal - Raw recap for March 16, 2015

The Authority (Kane, Big Show, Seth Rollins, Joey Mercury, Jamie Noble) start the show. Rollins feels betrayed after Orton's actions last week. He goes on to say his betrayal of The Shield (Rollins, Dean Ambrose, Roman Reigns) was a sound business decision while Orton's betrayal of him was nothing more than disgusting and psychopathic. Big Show apologizes to Seth Rollins, saying he feels personally responsible. Kane says that Orton will betraying them, and Jamie Noble and Joey Mercury are distraught, and Mercury can't even speak. Rollins then accepts Orton's challenge to a match at WrestleMania 31, on the condition that Orton face him tonight on Raw. As Rollins badmouths Orton again, Orton shows up and accepts his part of the bargain, saying he doesn't mind a 5-on-1 match as it will still be worth it to strike Rollins down. He tells Rollins to finish the job, because if he doesn't, he'll finish him at WrestleMania.

Nikki Bella beats AJ Lee after Brie Bella attacks Paige outside the ring.

Renee Young interviews Kane and Big Show. Kane states that Big Show will be in Seth Rollins' corner tonight, but Show tells him that this is the first they've heard of him and yells at him to at least give him the option of making that decision himself. As Kane and Show bicker, Seth Rollins shows up and yells at them, telling them that this is what got them sent home and that they need to see the big picture. Kane tells Rollins to watch his tongue and tells him that he and Show enjoyed Orton humbling him like he did last week, and Kane tells him that he's been an entitled, spoiled brat ever since he helped him win the Money in the Bank Briefcase. Kane tells Rollins he won't be in his corner tonight, and extends that courtesy to Big Show...who also decides not to side with Rollins, either.

Ryback beats The Miz. During the match, Ryback tells Damien Mizdow to hit Miz, but Miz tells Mizdow to put his fist down. Mizdow does as Miz asks. After the match, Mizdow tries to help Miz up only to eat a Skull Crushing Finale.

Michael Cole hosts the contract signing for the United States title match between John Cena and Rusev at WrestleMania 31. John Cena shows up first, and says that the contract that he is about to sign is the most important one of all due to all that is at stake, and says that while Rusev is United States champ, he represents everyone in the crowd, and says that's not a good thing. He plans to fix that by beating Rusev at WrestleMania. He then signs the contract. Cole then introduces Rusev, who is without Lana and is dressed in a suit for once. Another representative takes Lana's place, and they both walk down the ring so Rusev can sign the contract, which he almost does. The guy who accompanied Rusev, however, is his attorney, who says that Rusev will not sign, saying that Rusev did not agree to this match in any way. However, he says that Rusev will sign if Cena curbs his "American barbaric behavior" and lets Rusev read his written statement, where he proceeds to bash America. Cena wants to jump Rusev, but the attorney gets in the way. After Rusev is done, he signs the contract, then topples the table, almost hitting Cena with it before fleeing.

Tyson Kidd and Cesaro land a cheap shot to beat The New Day (Kofi Kingston and Big E). After the match, Los Matadores (Fernando and Diego), who showed up to watch the match from afar, attack Xavier Woods ringside, starting a brawl that ends with Cesaro hitting the Neutralizer on Woods only to be taken out of the ring by a leg scissors takedown from El Torito.

Seth Rollins tells J&J Security (Joey Mercury and Jamie Noble) to stay on their game and be in his corner, but Noble is at odds with Rollins for not trusting him concerning Orton and telling him and Mercury to leave last week. Both of them argue, and Noble quits after Rollins slaps him in the face and Mercury has to stop him from fighting each other. Mercury walks away along with Noble soon after this.

Brock Lesnar speaks about his current situation regarding his WrestleMania match against Roman Reigns in a pre-taped interview.

Big Show viciously assaults Erick Rowan before their match can even begin.

Paul Heyman is in the ring. He states that Brock Lesnar will destroy Roman Reigns and walk away with the WWE World Heavyweight Championship at WrestleMania 31. As Heyman keeps saying that Roman Reigns can't beat Lesnar, Roman Reigns shows up and says that he may get carried out, but he'll be carried out with the WWE World Heavyweight title.

Renee Young interviews Paul Heyman, who annouces that Roman Reigns and Brock Lesnar will say their last statements towards each other before WrestleMania 31.

After the match, R-Truth, who guested on commentary, tries to run away with the title, but it ends up with a game of hot potato which ends with Bad News Barrett getting his Intercontinental title back and everyone getting a Bull Hammer...including R-Truth.

Seth Rollins ends up making Triple H and Stephanie McMahon mad when he blames them for the chain of events that led to him, in the words of Stephanie, alienating everyone in the Authority. Stephanie tells him to man up, while Triple H tells him to get out of the office before his situation goes from bad to worse. Rollins, having now alienated HHH and Stephanie, gets out of the room.

Bray Wyatt says that The Undertaker failed to intimidate him, and that at WrestleMania, he will become the new face of fear.

Snoop Dogg and ESPN analyst and founder and editor-in-chief of Grantland Bill Simmons will guest star on Raw next week.

Seth Rollins tells Randy Orton before their match that he has made a fool out of him in three hours after Orton fooled him for three weeks, as he reveals that The Authority (Triple H, Stephanie McMahon, Kane, Big Show, Joey Mercury, Jamie Noble) turned against him on purpose to mess with him. Orton grabs a steel chair, and before he can fight anyone, the lights turn off, then come back on. Sting is in the ring, and they both fight off The Authority together. Orton and Sting stand tall together in the ring.

In a WWE Network exclusive, Randy Orton tells Sting he didn't need him to have his back, but he does admit that cool and shakes hands with him.

Randy Orton shows up to Kane, Big Show, J&J Security (Joey Mercury and Jamie Noble) and Seth Rollins giving him a standing ovation. Kane officially welcomes Orton back into The Authority. Big Show sings Orton's praises, but Jamie Noble still can't trust him. Seth Rollins makes fun of Noble for his opinion, then assures to the WWE Universe that Orton is part of The Authority again before welcoming him back with open arms. The warm welcome makes Orton suspicious, and he both insults everyone else in the ring and tells Seth Rollins he will make him his bitch...then reveals he was playing around. Good times were had by all, even though Kane looked like he didn't know how to take a joke afterward.

Rusev and Lana run into John Cena backstage. Cena tells Rusev to be proud of Mother Russia, but to watch it when it comes to talking about America, lest he be ready to suffer the consequences.

Layin' da SmackDown - SmackDown recap for March 5, 2015

Dolph Ziggler shows up with the WWE Intercontinental Championship around his waist to start the show, even though the title is Bad News Barrett's and not his. Dolph Ziggler says that the title changed his life last year, and he wants that rematch against Bad News Barrett that he never got due to Triple H and Stephanie McMahon firing him. He throws his hat into the ring for the Intercontinental title ladder match at WrestleMania. However, he says that somebody is missing, somebody who says that if you put your mind to it, you can become champion. Before he can introduce that person (which is Daniel Bryan), Bad News Barrett interrupts. He tells him to either return the title, or he'll beat him up and rip it from him. Ziggler tries to dare Barrett to get in the ring when he is attacked from behind by Luke Harper. Harper and Barrett are about to play tug of war with the belt when Ziggler fights back only to fall victim to the numbers game. Dean Ambrose rushes in before they can do damage to Ziggler, and Harper and Barrett are temporarily forced to retreat. When Ambrose and Ziggler are about to fight over the title, though, Barrett and Harper get back up, and there are two separate brawls outside the ring.

He tries to give the title to her, but then looks around backstage as he tries to give it back to Dean Ambrose again.

Raw Deal - Raw recap for November 24, 2014

Triple H and Stephanie McMahon show up for the first time since their team's loss at Survivor Series last night. They verbally crap on the crowd and mention what Sting did, then Stephanie McMahon breaks down again and Triple H has to step in on the mic for her. HHH calls the crowd "bullies" for wanting to make Steph cry, and still think they're better than the crowd for knowing the business side of things. He then questions who is going to be the new General Manager, then questions why Sting did what he did last night, saying he put the demise of the WWE in motion with his actions. After asking the WWE Universe what they'll do with their lives when WWE dies out, HHH says that the WWE Universe will be begging for him and Stephanie to come back. All of a sudden, Daniel Bryan shows up and leads a "Yes!" chant in the ring to stick it to the former holders of the keys to the WWE kingdom. He gets in Triple H and Stephanie's way as they try to walk up the ramp to "Yes!" chant in their faces, then returns to the ring to continue the chant.

After the break, Daniel Bryan announces he's in charge of Raw for tonight. His first action? Trotting out Team Authority (Seth Rollins, "The World's Strongest Man" Mark Henry, Luke Harper, Kane and Rusev). He puts Seth Rollins in a handicap match against Dolph Ziggler and John Cena...and his two partners will be chosen by the WWE Universe. It's either the team of Mark Henry and Luke Harper, Henry and Kane...or Jamie Noble and Joey Mercury. As for Kane, he's made a concessions guy, and turns from Corporate Kane to Concessions Kane. Rusev is given the choice of either defending the United States Championship against the rest of the WWE or reciting the American pledge of allegiance to the WWE Universe. Luke Harper is put in a match against Dean Ambrose with the Intercontinental Championship on the line. Mark Henry is put in a match against Ryback...and it happens right now. No sooner does Ryback's music hit that Ryback goes right to work on Henry before the bell rings, and four officials have to separate Ryback from Henry.

Ryback beats "The World's Strongest Man" Mark Henry with just one Meat Hook.

Rusev and Lana complain about their fate in the ring, and are about to leave when Daniel Bryan shows up on the TitanTron. He tells Rusev to either recite the American pledge of allegiance or face the whole roster with his United States title on the line. In order to force the former option, he sends out Sgt. Slaughter to supervise. Midway through the pledge, Lana retreats and Rusev confronts Sgt. Slaughter. Suddenly, Zeb Colter and Jack Swagger show up, and Swagger forces Rusev to retreat.

Tomorrow on Main Event: Dean Ambrose vs. Kane!

Big Show shows up. He has heard the response to his actions last night, and says that he does hate Triple H and Stephanie McMahon...but last night, he panicked. He thought Team Cena would lose, and says the crowd should at least "owe him a mulligan," Then he turns on the crowd and says he is the Big Show and that he deserves respect. He calls out any "cowards" in the back who want to call him a traitor to show up and say it to his face. Erick Rowan shows up, and Big Show calls him "an upside-down Sheamus." He mocks Rowan, then tells him the ring is no place for him and that he should go back to the back. Rowan takes the microphone and tells him "I...don't...like...BULLIES!" before striking back, forcing Big Show to retreat.

Backstage, Seth Rollins implies to Joey Mercury and Jamie Noble that he doesn't believe they stand a chance in the ring. Enter Dolph Ziggler, who shows up, tells Joey and Jamie that he does, and that he's asked his 1.4 million Twitter followers to vote for them.

Before AJ Lee takes on Brie Bella, AJ congratules her and her sister Nikki Bella in the most sarcastic-jerkish way imaginable by saying that Brie has proven she is a "bigger skank than [her] sister" and pronounces "Let's be honest" as "Les-bi-awn-est," referring to the kiss Brie gave her before Nikki took the Divas title away from her at Survivor Series.

Brie Bella beats AJ Lee after a distraction from her sister Nikki Bella. After the match, AJ Lee grabs the mic and says that since they want to cheat their way to the top, she has news for them: the two of them aren't half the woman she is, and that talent isn't sexually transmitted.

Larry the Cable Guy and Santino Marella guest on commentary for the next match. When The Bunny dances with them before the next match, Adam Rose pulls him away by the ears.

After the match, Daniel Bryan rushes in and tosses Seth Rollins back into the ring and into a waiting Cena and Ziggler. After Cena and Ziggler are done with him, they and D-Bry lead a "Yes!" chant until a familiar smartphone sound fills the arena and the lights go on and off. The anonymous Raw General Manager - computer, podium, Michael Cole reading his will and all - is back next week with Cyber Monday, and promises "order and discipline will return."

Here are the top 10 moments from tonight's show!

Layin' da SmackDown! - SmackDown recap for November 21, 2014

Michael Cole introduces Triple H to start the show. Cole asks what would happen if Team Authority lost on Sunday, and says that the WWE Universe would react with glee if they did. Triple H is not swayed by the people's opinion, saying that without him and the rest of the Authority, there would be no WWE Universe. He says he's still here - unlike his Attitude Era contemporaries - because he's the Cerebral Assassin and he's a constant, and without him and Stephanie McMahon, WWE wouldn't last more than one or two years, tops. After being asked what would happen if his team wins, Triple H then calls out Team Cena - John Cena, Dolph Ziggler, Ryback, Erick Rowan and Big Show - so Michael Cole can have their answer and Triple H can respond accordingly. Cena is the only one who doesn't show up, but video footage on the TitanTron shows him saying he feels responsible for his team and knows they would lay it all on the line on Sunday. Triple H ups the ante: if Team Cena loses, Cena's teammates are all fired after Survivor Series.

Rusev beats Dolph Ziggler. After the match, Rusev finishes Ziggler off with a post-match Accolade.

Los Matadores (Fernando and Diego) beat The Miz and Damien Sandow after Miz gets sent flying into The Usos (Jimmy and Jey Uso)...and Damien Mizdow follows suit as per his stunt double duties, allowing Los Matadores to take advantage.

Dean Ambrose shows up. He tells us abut his "survival kit" that he's had ever since he was a kid...his own body. He plans to bounce his fist off of Bray Wyatt's skull until Wyatt's face is swollen, and says the only thing Bray Wyatt needs for his survival kit is the ability to run. Wyatt appears on the TitanTron in a jail cell, and brings up Dean's dad again. Wyatt says the jail cell - the jail of his own desires - will be Ambrose's future, and on Sunday, he's going to leave him drowning in a pool of his own filth "like his Daddy did."

AJ Lee (who is dressed like Nikki Bella and going under the name "AJ Bella") beats Brie Bella after pushing Brie into Nikki, who tries to distract AJ from the apron.

Erick Rowan beats Cesaro with the Torture Rack. After the match, Luke Harper shows up and nearly gets in the ring to confront Rowan, but retreats.

The worst punishment is saved for Ryback, who receives a Pedigree from Triple H to end the show.

Here are the Top 10 moments from tonight's show!

Raw Deal - Raw recap for November 17, 2014

The Authority - Triple H, Stephanie McMahon, Luke Harper, Lana, Rusev, Kane, Seth Rollins, Mark Henry, Jamie Noble and Joey Mercury - show up to start the show. Triple H tells the audience to keep dreaming, as if The Authority feels they will win Sunday, as their loss will be the inmates running the asylum, which would be like - in HHH's words - World Championship Wrestling. But they're not waiting until Sunday to decimate John Cena (John Cena, Dolph Ziggler, Big Show, Sheamus), and plan to have a contract signing between both teams tonight. Stephanie McMahon announces that Luke Harper is an official member of Team Authority, then mentions Ryback's actions from last week...only for Ryback to show up. When Ryback shows up to say he wants what's back for Ryback, Stephanie McMahon tries to pour salt in an old wound by playing footage from Ryback's feud from last year with John Cena. It doesn't work, and Ryback decides to stay neutral. Triple H then pits Luke Harper against Dolph Ziggler in a match...and it's next.

Seth Rollins guests on commentary for the next match.

During the break, Luke Harper vs. Dolph Ziggler is changed so that the WWE Intercontinental Championship. Before the match can even begin, Jamie Noble and Joey Mercury assault Dolph Ziggler from behind.

Thanks to Jamie Noble and Joey Mercury's attack on the champ before the bell can ring - and Ziggler insisting the match still go on - Luke Harper beats Dolph Ziggler to win the WWE Intercontinental Championship! After the match, Seth Rollins hits a Curb Stomp on Dolph Ziggler. Ziggler is out cold.

Dean Ambrose says he's tried to see things Bray's way, then admits that Bray is really looking at a pre-recorded message from earlier in the day. When the lights come back on, Dean Ambrose attacks Bray Wyatt, forcing Bray to retreat. Dean tells Bray he doesn't need saving, and that Bray should be more concerned about saving himself.

Larry the Cable Guy is the guest star for next week's Raw!

Ryback beats Cesaro. John Cena is watching from the back when Renee Young interviews Cena. Cena says that he knows Triple H and Stephanie McMahon are doing all they can to keep Team Cena from winning, but all they can do is persevere. As for Ryback, Cena isn't expecting him to come to the rescue after his declaration of neutrality.

Lana shows up and bashes America once again, saying American women's bodies don't compare to hers and trolling the audience with a topless pic...of her president. Heath Slater shows up dressed in an Uncle Sam get-up with a completely new entrance and challenges Rusev. Rusev puts him in the Accolade after a few powerful attacks and forces Slater to submit.

Grumpy Cat is still not impressed with The Miz and Damien Mizdow. Erick Rowan shows up, takes the Grumpy Cat doll that Mizdow is holding, and walks away.

Big Show is in the ring when Stephanie McMahon shows up. Stephanie makes fun of Big Show's World Championship Wrestling debut. then dangles a WWE Hall of Fame spot in front of him. All he has to do is quit Team Cena. Big Show tells her no, then Sheamus shows up, saying he wants her and Triple H out of power. Stephanie says it would be a shame if Sheamus were deported before Survivor Series, then puts Sheamus and Show in a match against each other where the winner gets a shot at the WWE World Heavyweight Championship (even though John Cena is still the number one contender).

Big Show vs. Sheamus ends when Rusev and Mark Henry brutally attack both of them. Sheamus is put through the commentary table with the World's Strongest Slam by Mark Henry, while Rusev sends Big Show into unconsciousness with the Accolade. With the Curb Stomp to Ziggler from earlier tonight, John Cena is a man alone at Survivor Series.

Sheamus is now in a local hospital after the attack from Mark Henry earlier tonight.

HHH says Team Authority will stand tall...as they cannot lose. He gives Team Cena one last chance to back down, even though John Cena is the only member who hasn't been viciously attacked. Cena shows up, a man alone. He says Team Authority is going down, and will find his team on Sunday even if he has to pick four people out of the crowd. After Cena cracks one joke after another at Team Authority's expense, Team Cena reforms. Dolph Ziggler and Big Show show up...then Erick Rowan shows up. He is angry that Luke Harper sold out to The Authority, and yells and points at him. Cesaro is the last man...to join Team Authority. The real last man for Team Cena is Ryback, who finally has a change of heart and evens the odds. The brawl is on, and it ends quickly with Team Authority being decimated and Triple H getting an Attitude Adjustment through a table by Cena.

He counters the "You sold out!" chants by telling the WWE Universe they would do the same thing in his situation, while also saying that they will never be like him, because selling out can be the best thing one can ever do in their lives. He uses his Money in the Bank briefcase as an example of that. As for Dean Ambrose, Rollins says that he deserves to be in a straitjacket instead of Hell in a Cell, and that when he's done with him, he'll have to be carried out of the ring. Suddenly, Dolph Ziggler shows up. While Rollins has the money and time, Ziggler says Rollins doesn't have self-respect. Rollins brushes off Ziggler's advice, and gets drop kicked in the face as a result. This starts their match.

Seth Rollins beats Dolph Ziggler. After the match, Dean Ambrose shows up and Rollins retreats. As he does, Ambrose tells Rollins he's going to destroy him at Hell in a Cell. Kane shows up, and after lamenting that he doesn't have a match at Hell in a Cell, he makes a match between himself and Ambrose for the main event tonight.

Paige and Alicia Fox guest on commentary for the next match.

AJ Lee beats Layla with the Black Widow. After the match, Paige and Alicia Fox attack AJ Lee.

Big Show shows up. After saying that he plans to beat Rusev at Hell in a Cell, he asks "The World's Strongest Man" Mark Henry to come out so he can talk to him. Show then talks about the time they head to Waffle House, flipped a guy's car and ran to a gas station before saying he and Henry are family, he then tells Henry that he has to tackle Rusev himself. Henry respects Show's wishes, and they shake on it before Rusev and Lana arrive to trash talk them again. Rusev says that the people will turn on Big Show when he loses at Hell in a Cell, but Big Show is fired up from this and tells Rusev he's going to knock the glass jaw right off of his face.

Nikki Bella beats Naomi.
