Ospreay says that Fletcher did all this for five minutes of fame, then accepts his challenge before stating that Fletcher has taken a piece of him and his own son away from them, and he plans to beat him at Full Gear. Fletcher tells Ospreay that he will take everything from him before "The Machine" Brian Cage and Lance Archer join him, then Powerhouse Hobbs and Mark Davis show up.

He says that Orange has the shot of a lifetime at Full Gear and that everyone is depending on him, yet he is cool as a cucumber, and for that, he has to make an example out of Orange and brutalize him. Moxley says he will stomp his face into hamburger meat and mutilate him so badly his mother will not be able to recognize him. He then proclaims that everyone will see that and run and hide while The Death Riders (Moxley, Claudio, Wheeler, PAC, Shafir) do what they want because he commands the World Championship and they have the power. Orange Cassidy shows up, and Mark Briscoe and Rocky "Azucar" Romero soon join him before Orange tells Moxley that he agrees with and believes him because of what is in Shafir's briefcase, as it contains what represents what professional wrestling can be: the power. He says that Moxley may have the World Championship and that they can fight everywhere, but the only way to become World Champion is to wrestle, and for someone who hates to wrestling, he has not only done a lot of it, but he has beaten Moxley. Orange then says they will wrestle and that he will beat Moxley again, and he will take back the power. He then says there are a few pawns to get rid of in this chess game, starting with Wheeler Yuta, and next week, he will remove "the pawn that lets [him] take the king."Moxley says that if Orange wants Yuta next week, then he will see if Orange has the guts to pull the trigger, then warns him and anyone else who wants the World Championship to "abandon all hope."

He also says that he has held championship gold everywhere he has went, then asks Fletcher what he has done before stating that Fletcher has done "sod all." Fletcher says he would rather talk about what he is going to do, which is surpass Ospreay and all of his accomplishments, and he plans to prove that intention at Full Gear in a one-on-one match. Ospreay says that Fletcher did all this for five minutes of fame, then accepts his challenge before stating that Fletcher has taken a piece of him and his own son away from them, and he plans to beat him at Full Gear. Fletcher tells Ospreay that he will take everything from him before "The Machine" Brian Cage and Lance Archer join him, then Powerhouse Hobbs and Mark Davis show up. This leads to a three-on-three brawl. Ospreay gets the boot on Fletcher in front of Mark Davis, and the brawl makes its way to the back before Lance Archer walks to the ramp to take on his opponent. He soon get shit with a shinai from behind by Roderick Strong, starting the next match, which is Falls Count Anywhere.

Adam Cole shows up and starts brawling with Takeshita, then clotheslines him out of the ring. This starts the next match.

Claudio Castagnoli and Wheeler Yuta are seen attacking JD Drake on the ramp with a metal folding chair before they, Jon Moxley and Marina Shafir head to the ring. Moxley says he has been thinking about Orange Cassidy a lot these last few days and that Orange has played the game very well, then says Chuck Taylor is eating his food through a straw and that Wheeler Yuta belongs to him because Orange could not save them. He says that Orange has the shot of a lifetime at Full Gear and that everyone is depending on him, yet he is cool as a cucumber, and for that, he has to make an example out of Orange and brutalize him. Moxley says he will stomp his face into hamburger meat and mutilate him so badly his mother will not be able to recognize him. He then proclaims that everyone will see that and run and hide while The Death Riders (Moxley, Claudio, Wheeler, PAC, Shafir) do what they want because he commands the World Championship and they have the power. Orange Cassidy shows up, and Mark Briscoe and Rocky "Azucar" Romero soon join him before Orange tells Moxley that he agrees with and believes him because of what is in Shafir's briefcase, as it contains what represents what professional wrestling can be: the power. He says that Moxley may have the World Championship and that they can fight everywhere, but the only way to become World Champion is to wrestle, and for someone who hates to wrestling, he has not only done a lot of it, but he has beaten Moxley. Orange then says they will wrestle and that he will beat Moxley again, and he will take back the power. He then says there are a few pawns to get rid of in this chess game, starting with Wheeler Yuta, and next week, he will remove "the pawn that lets [him] take the king."Moxley says that if Orange wants Yuta next week, then he will see if Orange has the guts to pull the trigger, then warns him and anyone else who wants the World Championship to "abandon all hope." As The Death Riders leave through the crowd, they are attacked by Darby Allin, and Orange, Moxley, and Romero rush to even the numbers game before everyone brawls their way to the back. Moxley and Shafir are seen leaving in a black Dodge pick-up track, and Claudio - but not Wheeler - catches up with them, as does Darby Allin, who dives into the bed of the truck only for Claudio to grab him and swing him into a metal door.

He says that they had a tough match two years ago, and that it is apropos that they face each other again, and that this time, he will invoke the glory of past Ring of Honor World Championship while he teaches Ishii a lesson he will never forget.

Swerve says that everybody has the bright idea to come for him now that he is back, and use his name, equity and accolades to prove a point. He says that Lio Rush just tried out and failed, and that Shelton Benjamin also failed. Swerve then calls Bobby Lashley out for a fight, and Lashley arrives with MVP. MVP tells Swerve that if he wants to fight a member of The Hurt Syndicate (MVP, Bobby Lashley, Shelton Benjamin) , all he had to do is ask so he can set it up, then says that they wanted to recruit him due to his untapped potential. He then says that Swerve has yet to learn that there is strength in numbers before Swerve is suddenly attacked from behind by Shelton, which sets Swerve up for a beating from Lashley. Shelton and Lashley attack Swerve as MVP holds down Prince Nana from behind with his cane to force him to watch the beating that Swerve is getting.

Brody King tells her to come home on the other end, and Julia finds out that the line has been cut. She pours water on her face in the bathroom, but the lights turn red, and she opens the windo shutters to be handed a bow, a quiver of arrows and her familiar hat from The House of Black (Malakai Black, Brody King, Buddy Matthews).

Raw Deal - Raw recap for November 13, 2023
"The American Nightmare" Cody Rhodes heads to the ring to start tonight's show. Cody says that he has many memories in tonight's arena and that he plans to make a new one with "Main Event" Jey Uso when they win back the Undisputed WWE Tag Team Championships tonight. Cody also focuses his attention on his upcoming WarGames Match before introducing his team of Jey Uso, Sami Zayn, and Seth "Freakin'" Rollins. Cody then says they are all in the ring for one reason - The Judgment Day (Finn Balor, Damian Priest, "Dirty" Dominik Mysterio, JD McDonagh) - regardless of whether or not he has gotten along with the members of his team. Suddenly, The Judgment Day show up. Finn Balor says Cody's team cannot look each other in the eye and have no hope at WarGames, and Damian Priest says The Judgment Day is a family while Cody's team is "a bunch of randoms" who have no idea what they are in for. He then says The Judgment Day will be done with each and every one of them at Survivor Series WarGames, then Finn mocks Rollins for standing near Cody while Priest mocks Cody for not being a champion. Finn calls Sami "nothing but a loser" who claims to be world championship material, then Priest asks Sami, Seth and Cody if they can trust Jey after he screwed each and every one of them. Dominik tries to speak only to get booed out of the building, but Sami says nobody wants to hear Dominik talk and that his team can put their personal issues to the side as this is all about power. He says The Judgment Day has gotten a lot of power from cheating and helping each other out, and that they have no idea what they are in for, which is the most brutal match of their lives. Sami then says the real power lies within his team, not The Judgment Day, then Cody admits that he is shocked that The Judgment Day made it to the ring without Rhea Ripley, whom he calls "their leader." Cody then mockingly asks who the leader is when Rhea is not around, and Priest declares himself the leader. Rollins then says he is tired of the talk and that they are dressed for a fight, then challenges McDonagh and Dominik to a fight. Priest accepts, and this makes a tag team match official.
Seth "Freakin'" Rollins and Sami Zayn vs. The Judgment Day ("Dirty" Dominik Mysterio and JD McDonagh) ends with Finn Balor and Damian Priest coming out of the crowd alongside Rhea Ripley to jump Seth Rollins at ringside. After the match, Cody Rhodes and Jey Uso jump into the brawl, and officials and security have to stop the brawl. General Manager Adam Pearce says he is sick of another ruined match and more games and that the championship match is too important. He not only bans everyone involved in the WarGames Match from tonight's main event, but also from the arena. After the commercial break, Rhea Ripley becomes furious with General Manager Adam Pearce, who says that he does not give a damn and that he is the one who runs the show before Zoey Stark shows up. Zoey says that she is inside Rhea's head and that Rhea is spread too thin, then says that she earned her title shot and that Rhea is overlooking her. Rhea says she has not overlooked her and has watched her since NXT, and knew it was a matter of time before they were both in the same ring after everything she accomplished in her first year in WWE. Rhea then says that Zoey reminds her of herself and is a future champion, but the only way she will be champion is if she is on the brand opposite her, for she is always on top. She then says she can handle everything on her plate right now because she is "Rhea bloody Ripley," and now that Zoey has said her peace, she can leave the ring so she can handle her business. Zoey says she nearly took her title from her at Crown Jewel, and that she will become champion at Survivor Series before tossing her microphone at her. Rhea tries to attack Zoey, but Zoey gets the upper hand.
We hear from Shinsuke Nakamura, who says that he is frustrated and that the opportunity is now his, and that win or less the next battle, his next target will only be less than. He then says that is not his problem and that he will wait for now, for he knows it all ends by his hands.

"Big" Bronson Reed tells Miz and Ivar that they are both lucky they are standing, and that Gunther is lucky to escape him.

Layin' da SmackDown - SmackDown recap for November 13, 2020
Roman Reigns and Paul Heyman show up to start tonight's show. Roman states that the numbers do not lie and that he has made SmackDown "the isle of relevancy" according to Paul Heyman, as Jey Uso has gone from being unable to be told apart from his brother Jimmy to leading SmackDown to victory at Survivor Series. Roman says that he will also maintain his dominance at Survivor Series and beat Raw's "secondary champion" in Randy Orton, then says that one can respect a man's accomplishments but not respect the man himself. Suddenly, Drew McIntyre - from Raw - shows up. Drew says it has been a while and asks Heyman if he misses him, then tells Roman that he will be facing him, not Orton, at Survivor Series after he beats Orton for the WWE Championship next week on Raw. He says that a lot has changed since he eliminated Roman from the Royal Rumble earlier this year and made Brock Lesnar his bitch at WrestleMania after Roman Reigns disappeared and left the fans high and dry and leaving him to step up. He says he sees being top guy as an honor and privelege, but that Roman sees it as a right, then says he is the man now and that he will prove it at Survivor Series. Roman says he likes Drew and that everything he said is the truth, but he is back and nobody knows who Drew is, saying nobody watches Raw because they are all watching SmackDown and watching him. Roman then asks Drew to tell everyone who Drew McIntyre is, and Drew says he is the guy who will beat Randy Orton on Monday for the WWE Championship, head into Survivor Series as champion and show Roman who the "secondary champion" really is. Suddenly, Jey Uso shows up and asks Drew what he is doing on SmackDown, then says that Drew is being disrespectful and he will get him like he did Kevin Owens and Daniel Bryan. Jey then challenges him to a one-on-one match, and Drew accepts by shoving Jey away and getting in Roman's face. Roman, Jey and Heyman leave.
Backstage, Roman Reigns chews out Jey Uso, saying he is the one who calls out the shots and that nobody told him to make a match for himself. Jey says he will handle Drew McIntyre. Roman says "You'd better."
Before the next match, Sami Zayn says he has had only one hour's notice that he is to defend the WWE Intercontinental Championship against Apollo Crews, and says that this "reeks of sabotage" from WWE management against "the champion of the people." Sami then says he is used to this kind of treatment and that he will use this opportunity to prove there is a different between him and Lashley as champions. As he talks about what he had to go through to be champion again, Apollo Crews' entrance interrupts him.
Sami Zayn retains the WWE Intercontinental Championship against Apollo Crews after ripping off a ring apron, tying him to the strings in the ring truss and getting back in the ring to win by count-out.
Backstage, Adam Pearce tells Drew McIntyre that he cannot sanction a match between him and Jey Uso, but Drew quickly agrees to a match anyway.

Rey Mysterio says things changed when Seth Rollins targeted his family and tried to destroy them not knowing how strong his family's bonds are, and that tonight is the final chapter. He says that everything that has happened between him and Rollins will culminate in one final match, and while Rollins considers himself a messiah, he thinks of him as the devil and he will send him back to the soul-crushing hell where he belongs.
Drew McIntyre vs. Jey Uso is made official for later tonight.
Sasha Banks shows up. Sasha says she proved the haters wrong after retaining the WWE SmackDown Women's Championship, and says that the last six months have not ended her as she is on top of her game and the women's division.

Backstage, Big E makes bets until The Street Profits (Angelo Dawkins and Montez Ford) show up with three serving trays, but everything is shaped like an L. Montez Ford says The Street Profits they will serve The New Day (Kofi Kingston and Big E) L's if they can retain the Raw Tag Team Championships next week against The Hurt Business (Shelton Benjamin and Cedric Alexander).

Those Dynamite Kids - Dynamite recap for November 13, 2019
Backstage, Kenny Omega finds out that he is not cleared to compete following Full Gear.
Jon Moxley quickly beats Michael Nakazawa. After the match, Moxley says he is lot of things, but he is not a liar, and that he delivered as advertised at Full Gear and that Kenny Omega will never be the same again. He calls Omega "one radical son-of-a-bitch" and tells him that he respects him, as he has the balls to do something nobody in the locker room wants to do: face him in the ring. He then says he is on a pilgrimage and that he plans to scorch the earth of AEW one body at a time until he is the last man standing, and if anyone wants to face him in the ring, all they have to do is let him know. He then tells any potential challengers to kiss their loved ones goodbye and have an ambulance on speed dial, and states that he wants no apologies afterwards.
The Dark Order (Evil Uno and Stu Grayson) beats Jurassic Express (Marko Stunt and Jungle Boy). After the match, Evil Uno tells Marko Stunt that he shows promise, but he can be a winner and he can show him promise. Evil Uno then tells Marko that all he has to do is be one with The Dark Order. Jungle Boy jumps in and stops this from happening, and Evil Uno commands the Reapers to "put him down." The Reapers attack Jungle Boy, but as they put their mask on him, Luchasaurus shows up. One by one, the Reapers rush towards Luchasaurus, but Luchasuarus lays them out on the way to the ring. Three more confront him in the ring, but he lays them all out with one Tail Whip and tosses one into the rest of the Reapers on the outside. Stu Grayson then fights Luchasaurus only to be laid out, while Evil Uno retreats. The Jurassic Express - now a trio again - celebrate in the ring.

Brandi and Kong then cut a piece of Allie's hair off to carry around as a trophy.
Chris Jericho shows up. He announces that he is still AEW World Champion - much to the chagrin of the fans in attendance tonight - and says that he is still the greatest of all time. Jericho demands a "thank you" from every single member of the AEW roster and offices, as well as from "people that matter" and not "jackasses from Nashville," as he has defeated everyone AEW has put in front of him. He says that "The American Nightmare" Cody Rhodes is not as good as he thinks he is and calls him "an entitled millennial son-of-a-bitch." Suddenly, Cody makes his entrance...or so it seems. Cody's music plays, but it is MJF that shows up, not Cody, much to the amazement of Jericho. MJF says he knows the fans hate him, and says that if he did not throw in the towel for Cody, Cody's career will be over. Nevertheless, people still cheer for Cody, who he calls "a villain." After mocking asking the fans if they like Cody, he then says Cody wouldn't care about them if he tried, and says that he is the only person who knows "the real Cody," who he says is a liar, user and abuser. He also states that he saw potential in him to make him into a puppet by offering to be his mentor, and says all Cody wanted with him was to put him under his thumb. He says Cody's thumb is not big enough to keep him down, as he is the new face of AEW. After telling Cody that he is better than him and that he knows it, he then addresses Jericho, telling him that he is a big fan and that he has heard that Jericho wants him to join The Inner Circle. After some arguing over MJF joining The Inner Circle, Jericho says that he has heard that MJF has wanted to join, and MJF says that while Jericho enjoys "a little bit of the bubbly," he may be drinking too much and that Jericho wanting him is a little odd. Jericho states that the two of them have a lot in common, then asks MJF if he wants to be in The Inner Circle. After another argument over MJF joining The Inner Circle - following a comedic reference to Jericho's feud with Juventud Guerrera in World Championship Wrestling - they both agree that Cody "is the biggest jackass." Cody suddenly shows up, and despite two production agents telling him not to do anything, Cody runs into the ring and fights both Jericho and MJF. Suddenly, Cody is attacked from behind by Wardlow, who makes his first appearance after months of vignettes. After Wardlow slams Cody into the mat, he then chokes Cody with his tie - which shares the same design as MJF's scarf - and hangs him on the ring apron with it by command of MJF, and referees have to rush in to get Wardlow to stop.
PAC beats "Hangman" Adam Page with the Brutalizer after Page is knocked out cold.
Backstage, The Young Bucks (Matt and Nick Jackson) and Proud and Powerful (Santana and Ortiz) are seen brawling with each other, with Santana put through a table while Ortiz jumps from a forklift. Santana is about to toss one of the Jackson brothers into a bathroom when he finds out that Orange Cassidy is inside. Santana quietly closes the door and the brawl continues. During the commercial break, the brawl goes from backstage to the main stage to the crowd. When the brawl makes it to the ring, referees and security have to rush in to separate both teams. At the end of the commercial break, The Young Bucks superkick numerous members of security, and Ortiz strikes back with the blackjack before Proud and Powerful attack Nick Jackson's injured leg before putting Matt Jackson through a wooden panel near the stage. Brandon Cutler shows up to shield Nick Jackson, and Proud and Powerful pretend to walk away before attacking Cutler. Private Party (Marq Quen and Isiah Kassidy) then run in to fight Proud and Powerful, and security has to move in to separate both teams. The Young Bucks are then helped to the back.

Jon Moxley quickly beats Michael Nakazawa. After the match, Moxley says he is lot of things, but he is not a liar, and that he delivered as advertised at Full Gear and that Kenny Omega will never be the same again.

It is announced that Becky Lynch will not be able to compete at Survivor Series due to a broken face and a severe concussion last night following a right hand by Nia Jax. It is also announced Becky is here tonight.
"The Phenomenal" AJ Styles shows up. He talks about his match against Brock Lesnar on Sunday, and how he has defended the WWE Championship against the best WWE has to offer for more than a year. He says he has been a workhorse and has faced both dream opponents and opponents who have threatened his family, and he has defeated all but one: Brock Lesnar. Sunday, he gets another chance, and he plans to do more than just survive. Suddenly, Paul Heyman is seen tormenting ring announcer Greg Hamilton, and Styles tells Greg to give Heyman the microphone. Heyman introduces himself, and announces he is here to make it clear that Heyman will tear Styles apart. After saying that Brock Lesnar will never face Daniel Bryan, he still considers it an honor and a privilege to have the best seat in the house this Sunday when Lesnar faces the second-best performer in WWE history. Styles says he knows Heyman is trying to get under his skin, but he has always had respect for Daniel Bryan and he did not just beat him, he made him submit. He also remembers Lesnar beating him in their first encounter, and while he walked out with his head held high, Lesnar limped out of the building, proving him vulnerable. In the last 371 days, he has been better at making people tap out and Lesnar is more vulnerable. After mentioning his two options - a pinfall or a submission - he says that Sunday is all about him. Suddenly, Daniel Bryan shows up. Daniel says he is not quite sure why his name has come up, and while he and Styles had their WWE Championship match two weeks ago and can admit defeat there, he told Styles he respected him and he meant that, but he also is looking for a reason to punch him in the face. He says that he meant that too, and if his name is mentioned for no reason, he will punch him in the face. Daniel tries to leave, but Styles reminds him that it was Heyman who mentioned him to begin with, and asks if this means he can't put him on a pedestal. This starts a brawl between Styles and Daniel, and Commissioner Shane McMahon, referees and officials rush into separate both men.

Paige says she makes the rules around here, and Rey and Miz will face off to take that slot. She also announces that this match is next.
Backstage, Dasha Fuentes interviews Shinsuke Nakamura, who is currently looking about an iPhone. Nakamura says that last night, Rollins said he wasn't thinking of him, and it broke his heart.

Becky says she is angry right now, as she took a good beating last night and it has never stopped her before. Unfortunately, the medical team will not clear her to fight and she has run out of time. She goes on to say she had a taste of blood when she beat up half the Raw women's locker room, and the Dis-Arm-Her from last night was a taste of what she was going to do to "Rowdy" Ronda Rousey, and says she can still kick Ronda's ass in her current state. She apologizes for not being able to finish what she started yet, as Ronda isn't the baddest woman on the planet; instead, she is the luckiest. Becky then proceeds to pick her replacement, then looks at all of the women in the ring. She then walks back to Charlotte Flair and picks her as her replacement, then they both hug.

Raw Deal - Raw recap for November 13, 2017
Commissioner Stephanie McMahon shows up to start tonight's show. Stephanie says that as Chief Brand Officer of the WWE, she has to make a lot of big decisions for the company everyday, and she needs true leaders to help her execute. She introduces General Manager and Survivor Series team captain Kurt Angle, who shows up. When asked about how The New Day (Kofi Kingston, Big E, Xavier Woods) got into the building last week, Angle says he does not know. Stephanie wants to know if there was a raid. She also wants to know who the fifth man in the Survivor Series team is. Angle says it is Jason Jordan. As for the fifth man on SmackDown Live, it is John Cena (which was revealed on Twitter last week). Stephanie concludes that either Angle picked Jordan over Cena, or if Cena is so embarrassed that he joined Team SmackDown. As for the first thing Angle will do, he will break SmackDown Live Commissioner Shane McMahon's ankle. Stephanie says Shane won't start the match and will let others do the work for him; and that Angle can't snap an ankle anymore. Stephanie starts thinking that she made a mistake putting her faith in Kurt Angle, and that nothing he has said to him has changed her mind. She wants him to decimate SmackDown Live, but before she can fire him, The Shield (Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins) show up, and this time Roman Reigns is with them for the first time in weeks. Ambrose asks Stephanie if she is a leader, and says he has seen them come and go and that there is none better than Angle. He says Angle proved it at TLC. Stephanie McMahon wants to know where the Raw tag team titles are, how The New Day made The Shield look like fools, and where Roman Reigns has been. Roman spins it around and asks Stephanie where she has been, saying she's been out longer than he has. The Shield makes it clear that they don't what Stephanie wants them to do; they do what they want to do, and they want to fight The New Day. He challenges The New Day to a six-man tag match at Survivor Series. Roman then says that Angle will lead Team Raw to victory, and that they will whup The New Day's asses and destroy them.
Bayley beats Dana Brooke and Mickie James in a Triple Threat Match to join Raw's Women's team. During the match, Asuka checks on Dana Brooke, but Dana Brooke gets ticked off and hits Asuka before daring her to get in the ring. Not surprisingly, Asuka lays her out.
Before the next match, Enzo Amore says that this Sunday, Kalisto will be competing for "his boo," the Cruiserweight Championship, and the future of 205 Live. Enzo says he is money, and says Kalisto equals "nonexistent pockets." Before Drew Gulak can speak, Kalisto and Akira Tozawa show up.
Enzo Amore and Drew Gulak beat Akira Tozawa and Kalisto.
General Manager Kurt Angle is backstage with the Survivor Series Men's Team. Finn Balor and Samoa Joe will be in a match with Gallows & Anderson to see if they can get along. Jason Jordan will face Bray Wyatt tonight to prove that Angle is not playing favorites. Braun Strowman, on the other hand, demands a match with Kane. He gets it.
It's time for Miz TV. Tonight's special guests are Sheamus and Cesaro. The Miz says that Baron Corbin has squandered opportunities, while he creates them. He has an opportunity tonight against The Shield (Dean Ambrose, Seth Rollins, Roman Reigns), but he won't be doing it alone. He will have help from tonight's guests, Sheamus and Cesaro. Sheamus says he and Cesaro were not surprised by The New Day's (Kofi Kingston, Big E, Xavier Woods) surprise appearance. Cesaro says that while The Shield were more focused on representing Raw, they were focused on the titles, and they took them last week to become three-time tag champs. Sheamus then says he and Cesaro are the real tag team champions, unlike The Usos, who won theirs "on that cute little B-show, SmackDown."

Brock Lesnar and Paul Heyman show up. Heyman says this is the very first time in history that the Universal Champion will square off with the WWE Champion, as well as the first time that Brock Lesnar will face off with AJ Styles. He goes on to say this may be the only time Lesnar faces Styles in the ring, and tells the fans that if they want to see this happens, it happens this Sunday. Heyman then goes to say that he himself wants to see Lesnar vs. Styles, saying that he cannot put Lesnar on a pedestal any better than he can, especially with the opponents Lesnar has faced this year. He says that Styles possesses an impressive dichotomy and does not sell his wrestling ability short, but says speed kills. Suddenly, a wedding proposal happens in the crowd, and the crowd chants "She said yes!" Heyman says she only said yes because she's never been up close to a beast like Lesnar and that interrupting his promo is like having a match with Lesnar: you don't have a chance. Heyman goes on to call Styles the greatest performance of his generation and says Styles is a perfect opponent for Lesnar due to his career momentum and his worldwide admiration, but now Styles must be the ultimate underdog as he will step in the ring with Lesnar, who will make the claim that he will be the #1 champion then, now and forever. Paul Heyman then calls Styles "a Rocky movie come to life," having scored definitive victories over men like John Cena and Jinder Mahal to become WWE Champion again. But he says this is Survivor Series, not a Rocky movie, and Styles won't survive Brock Lesnar. Heyman looks forward to watching Styles at Survivor Series put on the show of his life only to be conquered by Lesnar.
