Team RAW In Kabuki Warriors, Charlotte Flair, Natalya And Sarah Logan vs Team Smackdown In Nikki Cross, Dana Brooke, Sasha Banks, Lacey Evans And Sasha Banks vs Team NXT In Rhea Ripley, Bianca Belair, Candice LeRae, Io Shirai And Toni Storm. Women's Survivor Series Match.
Io Shirai and Kairi Sane delivered some quick moves earlier in the match. Brooke delivered an impressive rolling Senton to Shirai. Given that LeRae and Io were hurt, they were both eliminated. Bianca Belair got rid of two women.
One, it was Nikki Cross with a roll-up and the other was Sarah Logan with a 450 splash. The queen, Charlotte Flair eliminated Carmella with a natural selection.
The boss eliminated Kairi Sane with a roll-up then, the Sassy Southern Bell took advantage of the dissension between Asuka and Charlotte Flair and gave Flair the woman's right to eliminate the queen.
Natalya and Sasha team up for a bit and eliminated Belair with a heart attack and Toni Storm with a double team submission manoeuvre after Natalya got rid of Lacey Evans with the sharpshooter.
Natalya made a mistake by trusting the boss and Banks eliminated her with a punch. Ripley and Banks had some back and forth and then, LeRae and Shirai distracted Banks leading to Rhea Ripley hitting the Riptide for the victory.
A decent opener. Not a fan of how Banks eliminated Natalya with a punch. That was lame but what wasn't lame was Belair having two eliminations in her Survivor Series record.
Seth Rollins (BOOOOOOOO!) interacted with Kevin Owens (YAHHHHHHHH!) about a word they've both abused in the past and that's trust.
Rollins asked him why Owens joined team Ciampa last night and he answered saying that he wanted to settle a score to Undisputed Era after what they did to him on RAW. Rollins still couldn't trust the guy and Owens replied with the Shield pose.
AJ Styles vs Shinsuke Nakamura vs Roderick Strong.
Nakamura kicked Strong's head off with the Kinshasa but Styles broke up the pinfall. Both guys then stared each other down, leading to a series of rights and lefts from both competitors followed by a death valley driver from Nakamura.
Styles hits the phenomenal forearm and Strong pushed AJ, pinned Nakamura so that NXT gets another W. A very good match. Really liked it.
The Miz was talking to Bryan about The Fiend and the former planet's champion told the A-lister to get out of his face.
Adam Cole vs Pete Dunne For The NXT Championship.
This match was fantastic. Both guys hit their finishers and they kicked out of that. Cole hits the Panama sunrise on the ring apron worthy of a holy sh*t moment.
Adam kicked Dunne so hard that Dunne's mouthguard spits out of the bruiserweight but Dunne snapped Cole's fingers and when Pete tried to hit the bitter end for the second time, Adam hits the Panama sunrise and kicked Dunne with the last shot and Adam retained the championship.
Shout out to both guys. They both give the fans a great performance last night and now they pulled out another one. My imaginary hat goes out to Adam Cole and Pete Dunne.
"The Fiend" Bray Wyatt vs Daniel Bryan For The Universal Championship.
Are the stupid red lights back? The answer is YES! YES! YES! YES!. Anywho, during the match, Bryan kicked him a bunch of times and Wyatt got back up as if the kicks were slaps. Daniel then hits the running knee and Wyatt kicked out of 2.
Bryan tried to hit it for the second time but Wyatt grabbed his face and choked Bryan out with the mandible claw to retain the Universal Championship.
Besides the stupid red lights, I thought this match was decent. Will see where the championship goes from here as well as Bryan's story moving forward.
Sarah Schreiber asked Rey Mysterio about the no DQ match and Mysterio said that the new Mysterio will not do what he's going to do to Brock Lesnar and Rey hopes his son watches his match.
2019 is Rey's best year in terms of promo work and yes, he's no Samoa Joe in the mic but again, he has improved in that department completely.
Team RAW In Seth Rollins, Kevin Owens, Drew McIntyre, Randy Orton And Ricochet vs Team Smackdown In Roman Reigns, King Corbin, Chad Gable, Braun Strowman And Mustafa Ali vs Team NXT In Tommaso Ciampa, Keith Lee, Matt Riddle, Walter And Damian Priest. Survivor Series Match.
Braun Strowman started off this bout by pushing Seth and Ciampa which Keith Lee was clapping sarcastically (that was funny). After Walter delivered a shotgun to Braun Strowman, Drew McIntyre hits the claymore kick to Walter and eliminated the UK champion in the process. Owens eliminated Gable with the frog splash after Kevin was deciding who he could hit the frog splash to, Ciampa or Gable.
Ciampa eliminated his teammate at War games last night with a DDT. Damian Priest got the RKO out of nowhere and the Archer Of Infamy got eliminated by Randy Orton.
Orton immediately got the elimination by Riddle with a roll-up but Riddle ate the RKO and Corbin pinned the original bro for the elimination. Seth Rollins eliminated Mustafa Ali after Ali argued with Corbin for a bit and that elimination got a crap ton of boos.
The big dog speared Drew McIntyre for the elimination and speared his own teammate in Corbin and Tommaso pinned Corbin but Ciampa ate the stomp from Rollins minutes and now, each team has one member.
Keith Lee hits the jackhammer to Rollins for the elimination and after a decent back and forth between Lee and Reigns, Roman delivers the spear to Keith Lee and the big dog gives Smackdown the W.
This was okay. The women's match was better if I'm being honest. Keith Lee was very impressive in this bout.
Brock Lesnar vs Rey Mysterio For the WWE Championship.
This is a typical Brock Lesnar match which means that he's dominated throughout the first half of the match and a couple of offensives.
Dominic wanted to throw the towel but Brock grabbed his neck and Mysterio low blew (sounds French for some reason) the beast which led to Rey and Dominic delivering a double team 619 but Lesnar kicked out.
Brock grabbed Rey Mysterio and hits the F5 and the beast keeps his prize. I like this match. My 3rd favourite match of the night. I'm still not really sure if he's on RAW permanently but will see.
Becky Lynch vs Bayley vs Shayna Baszler.
Becky cut a promo before the WWE championship match pretty much saying that she trusted Bayley because she sees herself in Bayley and Bayley crossed the line when she attacked the man.
It was an effective promo from Becky showing her rare emotional side. Getting back to the in-ring action, Lynch executed a double DDT on both Baszler and Bayley.
Bayley's delivered the Bayley to belly to Baszler and the NXT women's champion survived that. Becky locked in the armbar but Shayna got out of that and applied the clutch on Becky.
Moments later, Baszler threw Becky with a razor's edge on the announce table to which she applied the clutch on Bayley and Shayna won the match.
As soon as Shayna was celebrating on top of the announce table, Becky took that opportunity to beat her up and hits the leg drop on Baszler through another announce table. I appreciate WWE for letting the women main event 2 out of the big 4 PPVs of 2019. That was cool.
As far as my opinions on the match itself, it was fine. NXT taking Ws on this very show was something I didn't expect and it tells you that NXT ain't a development show anymore.
So, to recap for all of you slow mofos.
Like: Rey vs Brock, Cole vs Dunne, Strong vs Nakamura vs AJ Styles.
Didn't like: That stupid red lights in the Universal Championship match (I'll keep putting the red lights in every Bray Wyatt match in my dislikes till WWE gets rid of it), the way Sasha eliminated Natalya with a punch.
