- Shane McMahon making his return to WWE the last time Shane was ever seen on WWE TV or even in WWE period was 2009 fast forward 4 years later 2013 in this diary 4 years that's a long time to be gone but the prodigal son of Mr. McMahon returns and Shane basically is the one dealing with Bateman not Vince but Shane he hasn't even competed in a match in over 4 years whereas Bateman on the other hand for the most part he has had layoffs in between but he has been on a full time wrestling schedule but then again you can't count Shane McMahon out...for a McMahon he can actually go in the ring one of the toughest guys out there
- For Shane he has more pressure on him because if he loses and Bateman wins Shane's stock in WWE becomes property of Bateman Bateman would own so much stock in WWE but for Bateman he also has pressure on him too because if he loses and Shane wins he's gone he's fired and this time it will be for good so for both men the pressure is virtually on
- WWE Intercontinental Champion CM Punk goes to 7-1 in Manifest Destiny by beating Neville who goes to 2-5 which eliminates him from Manifest Destiny, I mean Punk virtually has been on a roll ever since becoming WWE Intercontinental Champion for the 2nd time in his career and not to mention being The Best in the World Punk he is virtually all that much closer to the Manifest Destiny final well assuming he can actually win the rest of his matches but for Punk his match schedule is virtually back to back to back matches because on Smackdown he has to defend his newly won WWE Intercontinental Championship against Kofi Kingston and then on the Manifest Destiny Sunday live special he has to face Roman Reigns and then he has Cena next week on RAW but then seeing Rollins come out and virtually snap taking out Punk and Neville both with Curb Stomps I mean Rollins has virtually lost it well I can't blame him considering Punk took the IC Title away from Rollins so Punk had to expect this sooner or later
- The New Day in their first match together Kingston & Woods they team up with Wade Barrett to beat the team of Del Rio, Ambrose and Cena in 6 man Tag Team action I mean Del Rio takes his eye off the ball and Barrett more or less capitalizes but Kofi and Woods they surprisingly worked well together almost like a well in-tuned oiled machine as a tag team you wouldn't know that they haven't been together all that long but they are virtually working in tandem like a tag team that has been together for a long time but seeing the heels stand tall over Del Rio, Ambrose and Cena well Barrett he gains even more momentum considering Manifest Destiny he is virtually hanging on by a thread to stay in the tournament same goes for Cena too and same with Del Rio
- WWE Champion Cody Rhodes with a massive victory over Rusev by doing that Rhodes basically sends a message to the man who he will be defending his WWE Championship against at Survivor Series that being The Beast The Conqueror Brock Lesnar but Cody he didn't just beat Rusev he made him tap out well Rusev didn't tap out he passed out in Cody's new submission finisher that being the Triangle Choke...so Cody uses the Triangle Choke now as a part of his arsenal of moves well he is going to need to add all sorts of moves to his arsenal especially considering at Survivor Series he has to defend that title in the main event against Lesnar who not only has the F5 but he has the Kimura Lock and if he locks in that Kimura he could break Cody Rhodes' arm and not to mention Brock has his endless array of suplexes so Cody could very well go to Suplex City
- Roman Reigns beats the WWE United States Champion Tyson Kidd to move to 6-3, well Reigns he still has a chance in this tournament all be it a slim one but still a very good chance while Tyson his tournament is pretty much over because I think he has competed in all of his tournament matches and he finishes with a 5-6 record which isn't bad but it isn't all that good but with Reigns he has Punk on Sunday
- Sofia Cortez the WWE Divas Champion beats Paige I mean not for lack of trying but at the same time Sofia more or less won this match because Paige was distracted by the Wyatt Family namely their signature and then Harper & Rowan which Sofia then took advantage of to get the win and Sofia heading for high ground that's smart especially because she knows what The Wyatt Family are all about and she obviously knows what they're capable of while Paige if she were smart she would have got the hell out of dodge too but she isn't smart she is stupid plain and simple but then finally Bray Wyatt shows up and when he does he lays Paige out with a Sister Abigail and then afterwards The Wyatt Family take Paige's body away as they kidnap her...I wonder what Bray Wyatt has planned for Paige? Bray Wyatt I told you he thinks Paige is his "late sister" Abigail or that her spirit could be reincarnated into Paige so now it explains why he has been targeting Paige so it makes me wonder what The Wyatt Family are going to do next
- Baron Corbin debuting on RAW, I mean it is about time he makes the jump over on to the main roster anyway and seeing him on the main roster I wonder if he will be coming in as a babyface or as a heel?
- The Alpha Wolves retaining their WWE Tag Team Championships in a Triple Threat Match beating the former WWE Tag Team Champions Cesaro & Ohno and also the longest-reigning WWE Tag Team Champions in history DiBiase & Hennig I mean for Richards & Edwards to retain their titles beating perhaps their biggest competition in the division beating 2 of the elite teams in WWE right now it begs the question of what lies ahead for them next? Or who lies ahead for them next? I wonder where Cesaro & Ohno go from here? Or where DiBiase & Hennig go from here?
- Kevin Owens the NXT Champion showing that he is vicious, cold, calculating, vulgar and as self-centered as they come but also showing us that he will do anything and everything just to win a match even if it means going too far just to get the job done I mean he is as ruthless as they come and that is what Daniel Bryan is going to have to deal with when he faces Owens at Survivor Series but I honestly thought that Owens was going to touch Michael Cole I honestly thought that he would Pop-Up Powerbomb Cole or even powerbomb him on the ring apron like what he did to Bryan but either way you have Owens' character down to a complete tee in terms of him being a family man so kudos to you on that
- And Bateman beating Orton to open up RAW...I mean Bateman needs as much momentum as possible considering Survivor Series he has a lot virtually everything on the line his career here in WWE is virtually on the line but at the same time Orton more or less lost the match because Mr. Money in the Bank AJ Styles got involved and Bateman more or less took advantage
- Survivor Series I can see it being a Team Styles vs Team Orton Traditional 5 on 5 Survivor Series Elimination Tag Team Match

November 5th, 2013 - When the clock struck noon Eastern Standard Time, the cameras started rolling for the WWE Network as Stephanie McMahon held a press conference outside of WWE Headquarters in Stamford, Connecticut. Approaching the podium with a neck brace and bandage wrapped around her head, Stephanie thanked everyone who joined her for a historical announcement.
"Let me start off by saying that the last eight days have been some of the most difficult of my life. Without the assistance of my husband, Triple H, and our children, I'm not sure where I would be. I'll address that haunting night soon, but first, I'd like to talk about what the entire universe has been buzzing about since RAW went off the air last night. My brother, Shane McMahon, made his return after nearly five years and immediately put this company in jeopardy. I'll put all rumors to rest right now and confirm that Shane did not consult anyone in our family about the stipulation he proposed to Derrick Bateman. Not me. Not my husband. Not my father. He made that decision all on his own... and I'm making one of my own as well. Over the last few months, I've come to realize that I no longer have a place in World Wrestling Entertainment. The Superstars hate me. The Divas hate me. The fans hate me. My father never even attempted to stop the injustice that I was dealing with, and my own brother chose to make his return when I was out of the spotlight because he's a greedy, power-hungry ass**** who only looks out for himself. He wants power? Fine. He's got it because when this press conference is over, I hereby hand over my own stock in WWE to him. I don't care if he holds onto it or if Derrick Bateman claims it at Survivor Series because either one of them will send WWE right where it belongs: Hell.
Speaking of Hell, the last time the world saw me, I was locked inside of Hell in a Cell with a person who comes only second to Shane as a deplorable human being, Paige. Yes, she was going to defeat me had it not been for Bray Wyatt and for that, I owe him one. I don't know what his deal is with Paige or why he kidnapped her on RAW, but that's none of my business. The only thing I care about is that she gets exactly what she deserves.
This is my final act as a principal owner of WWE.
Survivor Series. Bray Wyatt. Paige. Casket Match.

Bray Wyatt vs Paige at Survivor Series in a Casket Match...Paige has no chance no chance in Hell of beating Bray Wyatt especially in a Casket Match and the last time Bray Wyatt was ever in a match of this magnitude it wasn't a Casket Match it was a Buried Alive Match and that was at Extreme Rules when he along with the rest of the Wyatt Family buried The Undertaker alive so what chance does Paige have?
Stephanie no longer is Principal Owner of WWE just like how her husband Triple H is no longer COO of WWE, I assume then Shane he has Triple H's stock in WWE as well? If he does and Stephanie handing over her stock to her brother Shane I mean Shane now has a lot of majority stock on the line at Survivor Series but more or less Shane has all the pressure on him now in terms of not only fighting for his WWE life but also fighting for the honor of his family too considering if Bateman ends up with control of WWE he could virtually face off against Mr. McMahon

November 6th, 2013 - The countdown to NXT TakeOver: Forever continues as thirty-eight days remain until NXT's biggest event to date, live from Houston, Texas. On that night, Kevin Owens will put the NXT Championship on the line against one of two men: Sami Zayn or Tyler Breeze. Before the two of them meet in next week's number one contenders tournament finals, they met face-to-face in the ring. Breeze was out first, not receiving a warm reception from Full Sail while Zayn was given the polar opposite of that. One both were in the ring, Zayn stated that it's very poetic that path that he's taking to TakeOver next month. "May 29th, 2013. The day that I beat Adam Cole for the NXT Championship. I had worked my entire life for a moment like, and in an instant, it was taken away from me by two people. The first was Kevin Owens. A man who I looked at as a brother up to that point. The second was you, Breeze. You took advantage of the situation, cashed-in Money in the Bank and stole the NXT Title from me. You have had just as much to do with my life nearly spiraling out of control as Owens does. Having to get through you in order to get to Owens at TakeOver, I couldn't ask for it any other way." Breeze, who was admiring his reflection from his iPhone's front-camera during Zayn's entire speech, said that his words were 'cute.' "Not nearly as cute as me, but somewhere in between 'acceptable' and 'Instagram like.' But don't act like everything you said just now was '#NoFilter.' You're masking your fear by trying to convince yourself that you're going to beat me next week. Your little road to redemption ends next week, Sami, because you're not getting past the 'King of Cuteville' to head into TakeOver. The next NXT Champion is this gorgeous man standing before you." Zayn would respond by slapping Breeze's phone out of his hand, telling him that he needs to take him seriously. "I've been waiting for six months for what's going to happen next week. You had a hand in taking my moment from me. Now, I'm gonna take your moment from you." Zayn came nose-to-nose with Breeze, the two exchanging heated words until Michael Bennett and Chris Masters hit the ring! The duo attacked Zayn, returning the favor to 'Prince Pretty' after he did the same thing for them against Uhaa Nation two weeks ago. Masters placed Zayn in the Master Lock, setting him up for Superkicks from Breeze and Bennett simultaneously! Masters released Zayn as his body fell to the canvas, Breeze standing over him. "The NXT Title is mine! Do you hear me, uggo?! Mine!" shouted Breeze. He left up the entrance ramp with Bennett and Masters, this new alliance perhaps changing the entire complexion of next week's number one contenders match.
► HIDEO ITAMI W/ PAUL HEYMAN DEF. CJ PARKER VIA REFEREE STOPPAGE: After being eliminated from the number one contenders tournament last week, Hideo Itami was determined to use CJ Parker to send a message to the NXT locker room. Parker never got one bit of offense in this match. It was all Itami, who repeatedly kicked Parker in the head. Even when the 'Moonchild' was trying to get to his feet by using the ropes, Itami ran into him with a boot to the side of the head. The official brought the match to an end, deeming Parker unable to continue. Itami didn't care on bit for the abrupt stop as he placed Parker on his shoulders, delivering the Burning Hammer. Paul Heyman stepped into the ring, speaking on behalf of his client. "NXT Championship or not, my client, Hideo Itami, is going to steal the show at TakeOver: Forever. What we're going to do is issue an open challenge, but not just any open challenge. This challenge goes beyond the NXT boundaries. Hell, it goes beyond the WWE boundaries! In Houston, Texas on December 14th, Hideo Itami will take on anyone from across the globe. We don't care who you wrestle for. Be there and be beaten."
A graphic was shown for tonight's main event. The Addiction put the NXT Tag Team Championships on the line against PMA, later tonight on NXT!
► JASON JORDAN DEF. BLAKE W/ MURPHY: Over a month removed from his star-making performance at WWE/NXT Unison, Jason Jordan was back on track after putting away Blake with a Saito Suplex off of the top rope. Immediately afterwards, Blake's tag team partner, Murphy, rolled into the ring and attacked Jordan. Murphy continued his assault until Chad Gable, who has been attempting to earn the trust of Jordan, hit the ring. Gable dodged a shot from Murphy and caught him with a Dropkick, forcing him to retreat. Gable assisted Jordan up to his feet, who pushed him away. Gable tried to reason with Jordan, saying that he was just trying to do the right thing. Gable extended out his hand, which caused the Full Sail fans to chant, "Shake his hand!" Jordan left the ring without doing so, not accepting of Gable as a helping hand.
At this time, a video was shown for the training regiments of Bayley and the NXT Women's Champion, Sasha Banks. Set to "Somewhere I Belong" by Linkin Park, footage was shown of both Sasha and Bayley preparing for their TakeOver rematch at the WWE Performance Center. "I don't care what kind of work Bayley is putting in right now. For every bit of skill she's developing, I'm tripling it. Bayley already lost to me. She doesn't deserve another shot at the Women's Title... but, what's done is done. At TakeOver: Forever, I get to humiliate Bayley one more time on NXT's biggest stage yet," said Sasha. Cutting to more footage of Bayley, she stated that December 14th isn't just the most important day of her career; it's the most important day of her life. "If I don't make what happened to me the last time right, I don't know what I become. I can't lose to Sasha again. I won't lose."
Backstage, PMA were shown walking down a corridor. Solomon Crowe looked to be all business while Drake Younger was about as excited as anyone could be. "Tag Team Titles, man!" Younger shouted before high-fiving a random worker. They challenge The Addiction for the NXT Tag Team Championships, next!"
A promo was shown for Survivor Series, live Sunday November 24th on Pay-Per-View and WWE Network.
► THE ADDICTION DEF. PMA TO RETAIN THE NXT TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIPS: One of the biggest main event in recent memory on NXT as the Tag Team Championships were at stake. Christopher Daniels and Frankie Kazarian perhaps received the shock of their careers as Solomon Crowe and Drake Younger were not to be taken lightly. Several times, the dysfunctional duo came close to capturing the titles. Crowe launched himself over the top rope and onto Daniels while Younger delivered an Elbow Drop to Kazarian. Younger only managed to get a two count, calling for Crowe to help him finish off The Addiction. Crowe, however, was shoved into the ring steps by Daniels, who slid into the ring and went after Younger. The 'positive' half of PMA held his own until Kazarian got back to his feet, nearly taking his head off with a Spinning Heel Kick. Daniels and Kazarian finally put Younger away with Celebrity Rehab to pick up the victory. The Addiction were handed back the NXT Tag Team Titles, celebrating in spite of Full Sail's heartbreak.
After The Addiction exited to the back, Solomon Crowe rolled into the ring. He helped Drake Younger up to his feet, the audience giving PMA a standing ovation for their effort. "Don't worry about it," Crowe said to Younger while bringing him in for a hug, showing the most emotion he has in his entire NXT tenure. At that moment, the lights in Full Sail went out as a montage of the Cero Miedo vignettes aired on the titantron. The countdown on the screen hit zero before ominous music began playing. The Dia De los Muertos figures from the vignettes walked out onto the stage, surrounding someone in a black robe who had a hood covering their head. The others walked away, leaving only the mysterious hooded figure remaining on the stage. The hood was removed seconds later, this person being revealed to be Maxine. Crowe, Younger and the entire audience were left confused as Maxine, who sported a new look with bangs covering part of her face, gave a grin to PMA before mouthing the words, "Cero Miedo." When the lights came back on, standing behind Crowe and Younger was former AAA star, Pentagon. He held a steel chair in his hands, striking Younger in the back! Crowe tried to charge towards Pentagon, but was hit with the chair as well in the process. Pentagon continued to level Crowe in the back with the chair repeatedly while Maxine slowly walked towards the ring. She stood on the apron, catching Pentagon's attention and pointing to Younger. "Him. He's the one," she said as Pentagon approached Younger's fallen body. He locked Younger's left arm in place with his legs while holding onto his right arm, snapping it back and breaking it! Younger writhed around in pain as the official quickly tended to him, Pentagon exiting the ring and standing side-by-side with Maxine. "Cero Miedo!" shouted Pentagon while giving a hand gesture. After weeks of speculation, Cero Miedo has been revealed to be Pentagon and Maxine, and the brand new NXT superstar instantly made a statement by breaking the arm of Drake Younger, but so many questions remain. Why attack PMA? Why is Pentagon even in NXT? Why is Maxine aligned with him?

- Sami Zayn being left laying to start off the show by Tyler Breeze it makes sense given the fact that at NXT TakeOver: Forever these 2 are going to be going at it to determine who the next #1 Contender is for the NXT Championship and both men are former NXT Champions too but also both men have a history with the current NXT Champion Kevin Owens but at the same time Zayn and Breeze have a history with each other namely because of the fact that when Zayn was NXT Champion Breeze cashed in his NXT Money in the Bank briefcase on Zayn to become NXT Champion but then to see Zayn laid out by Prince Pretty but also seeing the tag team of Masters and Bennett do most of the damage while Breeze takes all the credit I mean I definitely was not counting on seeing Masters and Bennett showing up much less attacking Zayn like what the hell was that all about?
- Hideo Itami beating Parker by referee stoppage just goes to show us that Itami is all business here in NXT but also ever since aligning himself with Heyman he has become much more ruthless much more vicious out there in the ring case in point the way his match ended with Parker not being able to continue I mean and then afterwards Heyman throwing the gauntlet out there for anyone to challenge his client Itami at NXT TakeOver: Forever I mean it only begs the question of who will challenge Itami? I think it could possibly be Finn Balor or if I am wrong about that it could be a Japanese wrestler from NJPW or it could be a free agent I think it could be Samoa Joe
- Jason Jordan beating Blake I mean Jordan he has been virtually on a tear here in NXT but then just when he is about to get the stuffing beat out of him by both Blake and Murphy here comes Gable to even the odds but then when Gable goes to help Jordan out Jordan basically rejects his form of help like why? All Gable tried to do was help him out because if it hadn't been for his help both Murphy and Blake would have left him laying right there in the middle of the ring...if anything Jordan should be thanking Gable but if anything when Gable gets the boots put to him I think Jordan will somehow return the favor
- For Sasha Banks she has to defend her title against Bayley at NXT TakeOver: Forever but yet for Bayley this is her last chance I mean if she doesn't beat Sasha for the title then Bayley she gets no more title shots as long as Sasha is champion hell if she loses I don't think Bayley will stick around much longer and if that happens then I can see Bayley on the main roster believe it or not
- And in the main event Kazarian & Daniels The Addiction retaining their NXT Tag Team Championships beating PMA in the main event I mean we all knew this was coming like let's be honest there is no way Kazarian and Daniels were going to lose the titles especially to PMA even though PMA did have this match won they had Kazarian and Daniels beat but The Addiction they seemingly found a way to win but then post-match Cero Miedo...long awaited debut it has been talked about for weeks for months really and Cero Miedo is revealed to be none other than AAA star Pentagon from Mexico and who is he aligned with? None other than Maxine talk about shocker right there but what was even more shocking was Pentagon attacking PMA leaving them both laying like what the hell was that all about?

November 8th, 2013 - Following the signature WWE intro, Commissioner Booker T was shown in his office, formally welcoming everyone to Friday Night SmackDown. Booker stated that as Manifest Destiny winds down, two of the participants are set to compete tonight for the Intercontinental Championship. However, he's adding a stipulation of his own. "After seeing how CM Punk and Kofi Kingston's match ended last week, it's only right that the two of them are allowed to tear each other apart. No outside interference. No rules. Just two men who want a good old fashioned fight. So, tonight, CM Punk and Kofi Kingston will go one-on-one for the Intercontinental Title inside of a fifteen foot high Steel Cage!" The audience erupted for the announcement as a shot of the Steel Cage in the arena was shown.► JOHN CENA DEF. WADE BARRETT IN A MANIFEST DESTINY MATCH: A bitter rivalry from the days of the Nexus was renewed here tonight as John Cena and Wade Barrett finally met in their Manifest Destiny match. One of the most high-stakes match in the tournament to date as a loss for Barrett OR a Dean Ambrose victory tonight would eliminate him, while a loss for Cena AND a a win for Ambrose would spell the end for the face of WWE. The first time Barrett attempted to deliver the Bad News Boots, he missed Cena's face, but managed to catch him on the right shoulder. Barrett targeted that shoulder from that point on, trying to take the Attitude Adjustment out of his arsenal. When Cena went for his finishing maneuver later on, Barrett was able to easily slide out of position. He pushed Cena into the ropes, trying again for the Bad News Boot off of the rebound. Cena dodged Barrett's foot and springboarded off of the second rope, connecting with a Stunner! Cena quickly got the cover on Barrett, surprisingly getting the victory off of that! Cena sprung to his feet and raised his good arm in the air while trying to get feeling back in his bad shoulder. As a result of Cena's victory, Barrett is officially eliminated from Manifest Destiny. Cena stays alive, but he's going to need some help if he wants to qualify for the Finals at Survivor Series.
Backstage, Divas Champion Sofia Cortez was shown walking towards the ring. After defeating Paige this past Monday on RAW for the first time in her career, what is next for the champion?
Returning to SmackDown, Sofia Cortez's entrance music sounded as the Divas Champion made her way down to the stage, currently on the biggest run of her career. Almost two weeks ago on RAW, she defeated AJ Lee to finally capture the Divas Title. This past Monday, she beat Paige for the first time in her career. Addressing what is to come next for her, Sofia began by saying that despite her being Divas Champion, it seems that others are still attempting to upstage her. "When I pinned Paige on RAW, that should have been the biggest story coming out of that night, but what are people talking about? They're talking about how Paige is going to face Bray in a Casket match at Survivor Series. They're talking about how AJ Lee is posting videos on social media of her training to get back into the ring. What does any of that matter?! Look at me! Look at this title! The only woman in the WWE who matters is me, Sofia Cortez! You know, the Divas Champion? Give me a break about Paige, AJ or anyone else who I've beaten. That's why after tonight, I'm the one who everyone will be talking about. Paige is going to be in an Intergender match? Well guess what? Anything she can do, I can do better. Right now, I'm issuing an open challenge to any man on the roster who wants to be upstaged by the greatest female to ever step into a wrestling ring." Sofia placed her microphone down after laying out the challenge to any WWE superstar, believing that she had something to prove. Sofia may have regretted her decision when "Voices" hit. 'The Viper' Randy Orton was the man who was accepting her challenge, a match that the world never believed was even possible about to take place. ► RANDY ORTON DEF. DIVAS CHAMPION SOFIA CORTEZ VIA DISQUALIFICATION: An Intergender match of unfathomable proportions as an open challenge from Sofia Cortez was accepted by none other than Randy Orton. Former Committee members battled it out as Orton took control early on. During a Back Suplex attempt from Orton, Sofia was able to use her nails to dig into the eyes of 'The Viper.' Sofia landed on her feet, sweeping Orton's legs and dropping a knee onto his face. Sofia kept the momentum on her side by raking the eyes of Orton when he was against the ropes, following that up with a knee smash to the back of his head. Orton crawled towards the center of the ring, Sofia trying to deliver a Roundhouse Kick. Orton dodged it, grabbing Sofia's legs and bringing her down to the canvas. He slingshotted her into a corner, but the Divas Champion landed on the second rope. She jumped onto the top rope, springboarding off. Orton, however, caught her and planted her with an Exploder Suplex before beginning to size her up for an RKO. At that moment, AJ Styles stepped out onto the stage, walking down to ringside. Orton noticed 'Phenomenal One' and instantly slid out of the ring, running towards him on the ramp! The two traded strikes back-and-forth, resulting in the disqualification. Several officials had to be on hand to keep the two of them separated, allowing Sofia to take back her Divas Championship and sneak out through the audience without having to continue on against Orton. A historic Intergender match ends in chaos as the rivalry between Randy Orton and AJ Styles heats up.
Backstage, Tom Philips was standing by with the United States Champion, Tyson Kidd. When asked for his thoughts on being the first superstar to complete Manifest Destiny, Kidd asked why that should matter to him. "I was eliminated before I finished the damn thing, anyways. I'm not getting the WWE Championship opportunity at the Royal Rumble, but you know what? Neither will ten of the other guys who lose Manifest Destiny, and only one of them can say that they're the United States Champion. It's been too long since I've put this title on the line and proven why I'm the best thing going today, so I'll do so next week against anyone in Manifest Destiny who wants a shot at glory."
On the subject of Manifest Destiny, Dean Ambrose and Adrian Neville were shown on split screen walking towards the ring. They meet in a tournament match, next on SmackDown!
► DEAN AMBROSE DEF. ADRIAN NEVILLE IN A MANIFEST DESTINY MATCH: An electric way to close out the first hour of action on SmackDown as two fan favorites collided in Manifest Destiny. While Adrian Neville was already eliminated this past Monday, he still fought valiantly against Dean Ambrose and came close to securing the victory. After Ambrose got his knees up during a Shooting Star Press attempt, 'The Lunatic Fringe' found his opening to deliver the Boma Ye and emerge victorious. Much like what CM Punk did on RAW, Ambrose helped Neville up to his feet as the two shook hands afterwards. "Go get that title," Neville said to Ambrose, alluding to the WWE Championship that the winner of Manifest Destiny will have an opportunity to claim.
Backstage, Rusev and Lana were shown in the locker room, watching a TV monitor as Dean Ambrose celebrated his victory that puts him at 7-2 in Manifest Destiny. "Does he even know about shampoo and conditioner?" asked Rusev while shaking his head in disgust. Suddenly, his opponent tonight, Adam Cole, walked into the room. The former NXT Champion immediately stated that he meant no harm. "I just wanted to talk to you, Rusev. We have our Manifest Destiny match tonight, but we both know that it doesn't matter anymore. We're eliminated when we should both be in the Finals. You want to help me show WWE why they can take this tournament and stick it?" Cole asked. Rusev and Lana glanced at each other for a second, both seemingly interested in hearing what Cole's plan was.
At this time, footage from the conclusion of Monday Night RAW was shown, featuring the shocking return of Shane McMahon. Shane-O-Mac confronted Derrick Bateman, laying out a massive challenge for Survivor Series. The two of them will meet in a Street Fight, and if Shane wins, Bateman will once again be fired. However, if Bateman wins, he will earn Shane's ownership of WWE.Cutting to the backstage area, Adrian Neville was shown walking down a hallway after being defeated by Dean Ambrose just minutes ago in Manifest Destiny. Renee Young caught up with 'The Man that Gravity Forgot', asking if he has any words to give the world now that he is out of the running for the WWE Championship match at the Royal Rumble. Neville stated that while it's disappointing, some of his favorite matches in his career have happened in Manifest Destiny. "And I'm sure there's another one coming my way tomorrow night in Birmingham against John Cena. But, I couldn't but hear earlier that Tyson Kidd is issuing a challenge to anyone in Manifest Destiny for a United States Title match next week. The same United States Title that he beat me for at Night of Champions. Tyson, I haven't forgotten about that. I also haven't forgotten that a few weeks ago, I pinned in the middle of the ring. Not only am I the one who is accepting your challenge, but I have one of my own man. Next week, let's make history. For the first time in history, a 60 Minute Iron Man match for the United States Championship! I look forward to your response, Tyson." Neville left the interview set, also leaving the world stunned. 'The Man that Gravity Forgot' has challenged Tyson Kidd to a 60 Minute Iron Man match next week!► WWE TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS THE ALPHA WOLVES DEF. LOS MATADORES IN A NON-TITLE MATCH: Coming off of a successful title defense against Wrestling Royalty, and Antonio Cesaro and Kassius Ohno this past Monday, the WWE Tag Team Champions The Alpha Wolves picked up even more momentum by putting away Los Matadores here tonight. Eddie Edwards and Davey Richards stood tall afterwards on the announce table, raising their WWE Tag Team Titles as if the were telling every team in the world that if they want their opportunity, it's waiting for them.
Back in the locker room with Adam Cole and Rusev, Cole seemingly finished laying out his plan, asking 'The Bulgarian Brute' what he thought. "So... you two just get counted out?" Lana asked. "Yeah. From here on out, we both refuse to compete in our tournament matches. Others like Barrett and Kofi could get in on it, too. We need to take a stand against WWE and show them that we refuse to be subjected to this kind of humiliation," said an enraged Cole. Remaining silent, Rusev nodded his head, letting Cole know that he would go ahead with the plan. Rusev exited the room with Lana, the Manifest Destiny match between him and Cole up next.
Returning to SmackDown, a recap was shown of the Intergender match between Randy Orton and Divas Champion Sofia Cortez earlier in the night. Involvement from AJ Styles would get 'The Viper' disqualified as he engaged in a brawl with Mr. Money in the Bank. Backstage, Styles was shown leaving the ring, covering part of his face from the camera as he sported a bruise on his face from the altercation. WWE Commissioner Booker T approached Styles, saying that before he leaves, he should know about something that he just made official. "I know that you and Randy Orton want nothing more than to get your hands on each other, and at Survivor Series, y'all two are getting that chance, but that's not all I needed to tell you. See, Survivor Series is known for having a certain 'tradition'. We've seen 4-on-4 and 5-on-5 Elimination matches in the past. This year, we're gonna change things up a bit and make this the biggest Traditional Survivor Series match of all-time. I'm talking 6-on-6, Styles. You find five partners and Orton will do the same. There's your chance to settle the score with Orton." Booker T left the scene as Styles was faced the dilemma now of having to find five people to team up with him at Survivor Series.► ADAM COLE DEF. RUSEV W/ LANA IN A MANIFEST DESTINY MATCH: At the start of the match, both Rusev and Adam Cole exited the ring, abiding by their oath to get themselves both counted out. It seemed like Rusev was expecting something to go wrong as he kept a straight face while Cole was smiling and trying to talk to 'The Bulgarian Brute' like a friend. When the official reached seven, Cole quickly tried to slide into the ring, going against his plan the he laid out earlier. Rusev immediately grabbed Cole's legs, pulling him back out to ringside. Cole went for a Superkick, but Rusev moved out of harm's way and Lana took it instead! She crashed onto the floor as Rusev panicked, taking his eyes off of Cole and leaving him vulnerable for a Superkick of his own! Cole slid into the ring right before the official reached ten, saving the match for himself. Cole left the ring once again, his arm being raised at ringside while he stared down at Rusev and Lana with a smile on his face. "Do you know who I am now?!" Cole shouted, referencing the first time he met Rusev during the Manifest Destiny photo op and was asked who he was. "I'm Adam Cole!" he screamed at Rusev before walking towards Lana and whispering, "bay-bay" to her. "You gotta admire the guts of Cole to go against an oath he took with Rusev of all people," Corey Graves said as Cole made his way up the entrance ramp, now 3-7 in Manifest Destiny with one more match to go against Dean Ambrose next week.
Backstage, CM Punk was shown walking towards the ring with the Intercontinental Title draped over his shoulder. 'The Best in the World' defends his title against Kofi Kingston in a Steel Cage match, next on SmackDown!
► CM PUNK DEF. KOFI KINGSTON W/ XAVIER WOODS IN A STEEL CAGE MATCH TO RETAIN THE INTERCONTINENTAL CHAMPIONSHIP: Unlike last week, there were no Manifest Destiny implications in this match. However, CM Punk's Intercontinental Championship was up for grabs in a fifteen foot high Steel Cage. While Xavier Woods initially had no way of getting in, he still attempted to act as a distraction by playing his trombone at ringside. After Punk delivered an Elbow Drop to Kofi Kingston, he approached the door as it was opened. Woods, however, shoved the referee out of the way and slammed the door into Punk! Woods stepped into the ring with his trombone, sizing up Punk before striking him in the face with it. Woods blared the trombone in the face of the unconscious Punk, performing the "New! Day rocks!" melody. Woods put the trombone down and grabbed Kofi by his leg, dragging him towards the door. At that moment, John Cena ran down to ringside, opening the cage door and pulling Woods out. Cena hoisted Woods onto his shoulder, delivering an Attitude Adjustment onto the floor! "Why is John Cena out here?! He has a match against CM Punk this coming Monday! If anything, he should just sit back and watch Punk be weakened!" Corey Graves yelled out on commentary. Mauro Ranallo backed up Cena, saying that just like plenty of others, he's had enough of the New Day's antics. With the door now closed by Cena, Kofi knew that the only way he'd be victorious was by pinfall or submission. Kofi picked up the trombone off of the canvas, running towards Punk with it. 'The Best in the World' sidestepped Kofi as he inadvertently hit the cage wall, the trombone cracking him in the face! Punk turned Kofi around and connected with the Go To Sleep, the official making the three count to keep the title on him. Punk was handed the Intercontinental Championship through the cage door by Cena, the two locking eyes. This Monday on RAW, arguably the most important rivalry of the current generation has its next chapter written. CM Punk vs. John Cena in Manifest Destiny from the United Kingdom!
Right before the conclusion of the broadcast, Mauro Ranallo informed viewers that the challenge laid out by Adrian Neville earlier in the night has officially been accepted. Next week, Tyson Kidd puts the United States Championship on the line against 'The Man That Gravity Forgot' in a 60 Minute Iron Man match!
1. Seth Rollins (8-1, 16 Points) 2. CM Punk (7-1, 14 Points) 3. Dean Ambrose (7-2, 12 Points) 4. Alberto Del Rio (6-3, 12 Points) 4. Roman Reigns (6-3, 12 Points) 6. John Cena (5-3, 10 Points) 7.

- Booker T the WWE Commissioner is back on the job and now that he is his first order of business is making tonight's main event and it is for the WWE Intercontinental Championship with Punk defending his title against Kofi but this time in a match where they can't be any interference at all from any one no rules no way in and the only way out is by escape or by pinfall or submission in a Steel Cage...that is huge news
- Cena goes to 5-3 eliminating Barrett from the Manifest Destiny tournament with Barrett's record now being 3-5 I mean Cena and Barrett have a history that dates back all the way to the Nexus and seeing Cena be the one to eliminate Barrett I mean I wonder if after that if that doesn't reignite a rivalry or potential rivalry between these 2? I wouldn't be surprised especially considering Cena was the one to eliminate Barrett from the tournament but Cena he is going to need help getting into the finals for Manifest Destiny so Cena's fate is virtually out of his hands now or so it seems
- Another Intergender Match this time here on Smackdown with Sofia Cortez the WWE Divas Champion facing off against none other than Orton...Orton answering Sofia's call out I mean that may have just been the biggest mistake Sofia could have made because she should know just how dangerous Orton can be and surprisingly Orton and Sofia's match was actually entertaining all be it Sofia she did get her fair share of offense on Orton but Orton we all knew he was going to dominate this match and he did and he would have been well on his way to victory if it hadn't been for AJ Styles showing up and then Orton & Styles brawling having to be separated causing the DQ...I mean Sofia is lucky to have escaped Orton because she was literally seconds away from eating an RKO
- Tyson Kidd putting his WWE United States Championship on the line next week here on Smackdown...I wonder who will answer the challenge?
- Dean Ambrose goes to 7-2 in this tournament eliminating Adrian Neville from Manifest Destiny with Neville finishing with a 2-6 record I mean this was a battle of fan favorites babyface taking on babyface so of course the crowd would be into this match and they were because that is how back and forth this match was that really either man could have come out on top but seeing Ambrose come out on top I mean Ambrose just keeps gaining momentum I mean he's 7-2 he's almost atop of the leaderboard
- A Cole/Rusev alliance or so it seems I know that this alliance won't last long and why I say that? Because either Rusev will turn on Cole or vice-versa with Cole turning on Rusev either way how these 2 can trust each other is beyond me considering they are facing each other in Manifest Destiny and they want to show the world especially all of the WWE that they have been screwed by the system well so has anyone else that has been eliminated from the tournament but do you see them complaining about it?
- Neville throws out the gauntlet...challenging Kidd for the WWE United States Championship but not just in any kind of match but an Iron Man Match not 30 minutes but 60 minutes a whole entire hour...1 Hour Iron Man Match and there has only been a select few in WWE history but will Kidd accept the challenge?
- It seems The Alpha Wolves are taking on all comers I mean they keep beating tag teams left and right in the division with Los Matadores being the latest tag team that they have beaten so it makes me wonder just who is next on the horizon for Edwards & Richards? I mean they are winning matches furthermore showing us that they are the tag team to beat here and every tag team in the division wants what they have
- Cole thinks he really thinks he can get Rusev and others to follow in this little crusade well I doubt it goes anywhere if at all
- Huge Survivor Series match made...Team Styles vs Team Orton, Orton and Styles captaining their own Survivor Series teams to face each other but instead of it being traditional 4 on 4 or even 5 on 5 it is 6 on 6
- Adam Cole going back on his word...see I told you he would stab Rusev in the back he would betray him and he did because he wins the match but at the same time Cole he superkicked Lana after Rusev moved out of the way and Rusev being all panicked of course he would be...that is his girlfriend his valet of course he is going to be panicking and then Cole not even caring about superkicking a woman takes advantage and nails Rusev with a Superkick winning the match by countout...it doesn't even matter because both men are eliminated from the tournament but you can bet that this rivalry will only get worse in the sense of it becoming more personal...I can see Cole on Team Styles and Rusev in a shocker on Team Orton...I admit I still can't even see Rusev as a babyface it is just too weird I don't know
- And in the main event Punk retains his WWE Intercontinental Championship against Kofi in the Steel Cage well big assist going to Cena because Cena neutralized Woods after Woods tried to help Kofi but Cena to the rescue I wonder why Cena would seemingly interfere in a match that he had no business being in he had no business being there but Cena by him helping Punk he may have inadvertently made a new enemy in The New Day but at the same time Cena and Punk have to face each other on RAW on Monday in Manifest Destiny now that is a match that I know I am really excited about seeing

► SETH ROLLINS DEF. KOFI KINGSTON VIA COUNT-OUT IN A MANIFEST DESTINY MATCH: The entrance music of Kofi Kingston sounded as Seth Rollins was already in the ring, though it soon became obvious that Kingston was not going to show up for the match. Rollins demanded that the official begin counting Kofi out, which he soon did. With every number closer to ten that came from the count, Rollins' excitement grew as a victory here would guarantee him a spot in the Finals at Survivor Series. The official finally reached ten, which was when Rollins dropped to his knees and raised his arms. The crowd showered him with boos, but the former and only Intercontinental Heavyweight Champion brushed the negativity off. Rollins has officially clinched one of the two spots in the Finals, bringing him only one match away from a shot at the WWE Championship. ► JOHN CENA DEF. ADRIAN NEVILLE IN A MANIFEST DESTINY MATCH: The UK's own Adrian Neville competed in a key Manifest Destiny match-up. While he has already been eliminated from the tournament, a victory here would in turn knock John Cena out. Much like his match against CM Punk this past Monday on RAW, 'The Man That Gravity Forgot' came close on more than one occasion to pulling off the unthinkable. However, when Neville springboarded off of the top rope with a Moonsault, Cena managed to catch him in position for the Attitude Adjustment! Cena covered Neville, keeping his Manifest Destiny hopes alive. Afterwards, Cena assisted Neville to his feet and took a microphone, applauding the UK native for an outstanding. "Y'all got plenty of reasons to be proud of this young man. You stay hungry and you keep fighting, I promise that this company will be yours one day, Neville. Birmingham, please give it up for him," Cena said, giving Neville the spotlight while the audience gave him a standing ovation. For Neville, he looks ahead to two huge matches this coming week. A Manifest Destiny match against Wade Barrett on RAW, and then a 60 Minute Iron Man match against Tyson Kidd for the United States Championship on SmackDown. As for Cena, one of his greatest rivals of all-time awaits him on Monday. The Intercontinental Champion, CM Punk.

► WADE BARRETT DEF. RUSEV IN A MANIFEST DESTINY MATCH: After being eliminated from Manifest Destiny by John Cena two nights ago on SmackDown, Wade Barrett was looking to make a statement and leave his mark on the tournament using Rusev. 'The Bulgarian Brute' was without Lana as she recovers from an inadvertent Superkick from Adam Cole on SmackDown. Barrett put Rusev away with the Bad News Boot, improving his record to 4-5 while Rusev drops to 0-9. On commentary, Corey Graves mentioned that tomorrow night on RAW, Rusev meets Kofi Kingston. Someone will get their first Manifest Destiny victory in one day in Manchester.
► ROMAN REIGNS DEF. INTERCONTINENTAL CHAMPION CM PUNK IN A MANIFEST DESTINY MATCH: The most important tournament match thus far for Roman Reigns as a loss here would eliminate him from Manifest Destiny. Also having great interest in this bout was Alberto Del Rio, who would be eliminated as well if CM Punk came out on top. After the Intercontinental Champion delivered the Go To Sleep, Reigns remained on his feet and only staggered back into a corner. Punk went for a running knee strike, but while he was in motion, Reigns charged into him with a Spear! Reigns covered Punk, getting the critical victory. Reigns stays alive in Manifest Destiny, as does Del Rio. Punk suffers his second loss in Manifest Destiny just one day before he and John Cena are to meet in their tournament match.
1. Seth Rollins (9-1, 18 Points) *CLINCHED FINALS*2. CM Punk (7-2, 14 Points) 2. Dean Ambrose (7-2, 14 Points) 4. Roman Reigns (7-3, 14 Points) 5. Alberto Del Rio (6-3, 12 Points) 5.

Either way this tournament is getting more and more interesting as it winds down
Wade Barrett goes to 4-5 beating Rusev who is now 0-9 in this tournament...I mean Barrett obviously knew that Rusev was in no state of mind to even be in a match with him let alone wrestling I mean given what happened to Rusev's significant other his other half his girlfriend Lana at the hands of Adam Cole and Barrett like any competitor would he took advantage of the opportunity and capitalized to get the win but you can bet that there will be a Rusev/Cole feud I mean the seeds were already planted
Roman Reigns in a must win situation with his back virtually against the wall his Manifest Destiny life practically on the line because a loss would have eliminated him from the tournament but Reigns wins his match but not against just anyone but he beats the reigning WWE Intercontinental Champion The Best in the World CM Punk...that is a huge win for Reigns I can't even call that an upset or a shocker really because Reigns got it done but Punk he is now coming off of a loss but he has Cena on RAW this Monday and it is a must win for Punk but then again it is also a must-win match for Cena but Reigns is now 7-3 while Punk is now 7-2 but you can bet Cena was watching this match...but also Cena and Punk have a long, storied rivalry a long storied history with each other and to see it renewed on RAW you can bet that it will be the main event
Cena in a big match situation well his back was against the wall here and a loss would have definitely have eliminated him from the tournament but he wins going to 6-3 by beating Neville (2-7) in Neville's own backyard...no doubt Cena would get massive boos for that but Cena in an ultimate show of sportsmanship post-match praises Neville...Cena he had to win this match but then again on RAW this Monday he has Punk and the rivalry continues or let's just say it gets renewed which I know I definitely cannot wait for that to happen...while Neville even though he did lose to Cena I mean Cena did technically put him over because Neville was able to hang with the likes of Cena hell he took it to Cena he could have nearly beat him but then again even though Neville is out of the tournament he still has that WWE United States Championship match against Kidd and in not just any match but a 60-minute Iron Man Match a 1 Hour Iron Match
Seth Rollins (9-1) clinches a spot in the Manifest Destiny final at Survivor Series I mean Rollins he has basically went above and beyond he is head and shoulders above the rest here in this tournament winning match after match with his only loss coming to CM Punk back at Hell in a Cell but Rollins has been on quite the momentum ride now hasn't he? I mean he beats Kofi (0-8) but he didn't even beat Kofi cleanly he beat him by countout and only because Kofi didn't even show up he no-showed this match on purpose but either way it gives Kofi and Rollins both heel heat

November 11th, 2013 - Following the signature WWE intro, cameras cut directly to the Phones 4u Arena as Monday Night RAW emanates from Manchester, England. The first sound heard was the guitar intro to "Demi-Gods" as a mixed response emerged for Mr. Money in the Bank, AJ Styles. 'The Phenomenal One' made his way out to the stage along with his five teammates for Survivor Series in thirteen days. Kassius Ohno, Antonio Cesaro, Divas Champion Sofia Cortez and the NXT Tag Team Champions, The Addiction. Once all six performers were in the ring, Styles took a microphone and told the world to get a good look at the strongest, most talented and dominant team in Survivor Series history. "Two of the most gifted tag teams in the world today stand before me. The former WWE Tag Team Champions, Kassius Ohno and Antonio Cesaro," Styles said, Cesaro and Ohno raising their arms to mixed reactions. "Next, two men who I have known for just about my entire career. We've been through thick and thin, and now, we're about go into battle at Survivor Series. The NXT Tag Team Champions, Christopher Daniels and Frankie Kazarian!" Looking into the hard camera, Daniels grabbed onto the top rope with one hand, the other holding his appletini. He gyrated against the ropes, raising the appletini and causing a small bit of the beverage to spill onto the canvas. "Never in my life have I seen a man in his forties that buzzed thanks to an appletini," Corey Graves commented. "Last but not least, history will be made. For the first time ever, women will be in a Traditional Survivor Series match. My team? We don't have just any woman. We have the woman of WWE. The Divas Champion, Sofia Cortez!" During Styles' introduction for her, Sofia never once took her eyes off of her own Divas Title. As if she was basking in her own glory, or it was something else that Styles said causing her to venture deep into her thoughts. "You have the six absolute best athletes in professional wrestling today on one team. If you want my take on Survivor Series, start placing bets on a clean sweep for Team Styles." Styles raised the Money in the Bank briefcase high in the air, standing at the forefront of his team before the entrance music of Randy Orton hit.
'The Viper' made his way out to the stage along with his own Survivor Series team comprised of Wrestling Royalty, AJ Lee and the WWE Tag Team Champions, The Alpha Wolves. "AJ is back," Mauro Ranallo briefly noted as she and Sofia Cortez immediately locked eyes from a distance. The Divas Champion stepped forward to leave the ring, AJ Styles putting his arm out to stop her and prevent a monstrous brawl from breaking out. Orton told Styles that he can gloat about his team all he wants, but nothing can compare to what he's been to assemble for Survivor Series. "The current WWE Tag Team Champions. The longest reigning Tag Team Champions of all-time. A woman who has taken more risks than many, many guys I've seen in that ring, and then there's myself. Someone who will go to any lengths to make sure that none of you six leave Survivor Series under your own power." When Orton was finished, Styles responded by reminding 'The Viper' that he has defeated him on two consecutive major events. "You remember Night of Champions? Hell in a Cell? Tell all of these people what happened on those nights? I know it eats you alive to know that you've never been able to beat and it hurts even more to know that you're not going to at Survivor Series." Tired of exchanging just words, Orton and his teammates began to walk down to the ring, the audience coming alive for what they thought was going to be an all-out brawl. When Team Orton stepped into the squared circle, Team Styles exited sans Sofia. The Divas Champion remained in place, not wanting to back out the ring like everyone else. Styles stepped onto the apron, talking to Sofia before getting her on the same page with their teammates. "Now's not the time for this. Keep your head straight until Survivor Series," Mr. Money in the Bank said to her. All six members headed up the entrance ramp while Styles laughed to himself, Orton staring at him with an intense desire to get his hands on him and the rest of his team.
Returning to Monday Night RAW, Team Styles were shown walking towards the locker room, minutes after avoiding a confrontation in the ring with Team Orton. On their way, the six superstars were approached by new backstage interviewer Cathy Kelley, who stated that she had been informed of news from Booker T regarding Team Styles. "... Who are you?" Styles asked. "Cathy. I'm new," she said rather quickly due to nervousness on her first night. She extended her hand out to Styles, who didn't accept the kind gesture. "What do you want?" Sofia Cortez asked before receiving her answer. "Commissioner Booker T has made a Tag Team match official for later as a result of what he saw out there just now. It's going to be you two, Styles and Sofia, against AJ Lee and Randy Orton." Upon receiving the news, Styles and Sofia blurted out their immediate reactions simultaneously. "Are you kidding me?!" from the 'Phenomenal One' while the Divas Champion let out a massive, "Hell yes!"
► ADRIAN NEVILLE DEF. WADE BARRETT IN A MANIFEST DESTINY MATCH: While both Adrian Neville and Wade Barrett have already been eliminated from Manifest Destiny, this was still a crucial match for the two superstars as they were fighting for a victory in their home country. "This time last year, Barrett was bringing the WWE Championship to England. Not having that gold tonight or even an opportunity at it for that matter have to be eating him alive," Corey Graves stated. Barrett perched Neville onto the top rope, turning his elbow pad inside out for the Bullhamer. Before he could connect with it, Neville leaped off of onto the canvas. Barrett turned around and charged towards Neville, who dodged the shot and delivered a German Suplex that spiked Barrett onto the back of his head. With the entire audience backing him, Neville quickly ascended to the top rope and hit a picture perfect Red Arrow for the win! "'The Man that Gravity Forgot' defeats a former WWE Champion on his way to match for gold this Friday on SmackDown," said Mauro Ranallo, referring to Neville's historical 60 Minute Iron Man match against Tyson Kidd for the United States Championship.
John Cena vs. CM Punk Moment #1: On July 17th, 2011, one of the most important matches in the history of World Wrestling Entertainment took place at the Money in the Bank Pay-Per-View in Chicago. The night that CM Punk's WWE contract came to an end, he defeated John Cena in his hometown to capture the WWE Championship.
► BIG E DEF. FANDANGO: One year ago on this European tour, the fans in attendance for Monday Night RAW created the 'Fandango' chant, which consisted of them signing the melody to his theme song. That tradition continued here tonight, though it didn't pay off for Fandango as Big E (the name he was referred to as, dropping the 'Langston' portion) delivered the Big Ending to pick up the victory. As Big E celebrated in the ring, his music soon silenced as a trombone could be heard. Out from the back came Xavier Woods, who performed the "New! Day rocks!" chant melody on the instrument. Woods stepped into the ring, telling Big E that he and Kofi Kingston have an offer for him that only comes once in a lifetime. "People all over the world dream of this kind of opportunity, but E, you're the lucky one who has been chosen. An official invitation from Kofi Kingston and myself to join the prestigious, honorable, illustrious group known as the New Day!" Big E seemed to brush off the offer as he attempted to leave the ring, but Woods grabbed him by the arm and stopped him. "I understand that you need some time to think about a decision this big, but let me make you aware of what comes with New Day membership. You'd be a step above everybody else. You'd be part of a real family, unlike the Awesome Entourage who threw you away like garbage. But most of all, the biggest incentive I can give you is the fact that... New! Day rocks! New! Day rocks!" Woods followed up his chants with a trombone performance, Big E finally leaving the ring. Woods would not give up, however, as he followed Big E up the entrance ramp while blaring the trombone in his ear.
Backstage, Paul Heyman was shown walking towards the ring with A Day to Remember's "All I Want" premiering as a RAW bumper theme. Less than two weeks before Brock Lesnar challenges Cody Rhodes for the WWE Championship at Survivor Series, what does Heyman have to say here in Manchester, England? "Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome... Paul Heyman!" Justin Roberts said as RAW returned from the commercial break. Heyman was shown already standing in the ring as the audience showered him with boos. "Oh, how I always look forward to traveling to England," he said sarcastically. "Let me remind all of you about what is to come in thirteen nights on November 24th, live on Pay-Per-View and the WWE Network for your viewing pleasure. In one corner, it's going to be arguably the best professional wrestler in the world today. A man who was not only born into this business, but was born for this business. He has the look, the talent, the charisma and most of all, the courage of a true champion. Actually, before I go on, I'd like for him to come down to this ring and hear what I have to say," Heyman said, folding his arms and focusing on the stage. Seconds later, Cody Rhodes' entrance music hit to a thunderous ovation from the Manchester audience. Rhodes made his way down to the ring, dressed to compete with the WWE Championship strapped around his waist. Rhodes stepped into the ring as Heyman continued to sing his praises, strangely. "... And in the other corner, it's going to be the man who is the reason why you're only arguably the best wrestler in the world, Cody. He is undefeated in 2013. Wade Barrett, CM Punk, John Cena and Kurt Angle have all fallen victim to him, and in thirteen days, you will too, Cody. As good as you are, you are no Brock Lesnar!" After Heyman shouted the name of his 'Beast Incarnate,' Rhodes snatched the microphone away from him. "We get it, Paul. Brock Lesnar is a monster. Brock Lesnar is unstoppable. Brock Lesnar is unbeatable... or at least that's what you say. I've worked too damn hard to get to this point and I'm not letting go of the WWE Championship that easily. If Brock wants this title, he's gonna have to do what Bray Wyatt tried to: kill me. Otherwise, you're gonna be disappointed when I'm standing tall over your 'Beast' with this title still in my possession." Rhodes held the WWE Title up in Heyman's face before Kevin Owens' theme song hit.
Both Cody Rhodes and Paul Heyman turned to the stage as the NXT Championship walked through the curtain, looking out at the Manchester audience that contained both supporters and detractors of his. Once he was in the ring, Owens took a microphone and said that he needed to correct the lies being told by both Heyman and Rhodes. "Paul, understand that even if Brock Lesnar were to become WWE Champion, he would not be the most vicious, heinous, dominant champion today. You're looking at him. And as for you, Cody, I'm really interested in hearing more about this long, trying road that you took to make it to this point. You said you've 'worked too damn hard,' but let's look at the facts. You got signed to the WWE without having to go through the trials and tribulations that others like myself did. Even people who I hate like Daniel Bryan and Sami Zayn at least understand that. You made your WWE debut like, what, a year into your career? In a short amount of time, you've done just about everything that anyone could do in this company. And you've been able to do so because whether you want to admit it or not, you have had everything handed to you on a silver platter while I struggled just to make a living. I'm doing this for my family while you're doing this because of your family. People like you make me sick, Cody, and the fact that you're the WWE Champion only adds to my hatred for you. Watching Brock Lesnar rip your to pieces at Survivor Series will be somewhat satisfying, but I wish I was the one who could end your career instead." After Owens' loathsome tirade, Rhodes responded the only way a fighting champion could: "If you want to end my career so badly, then do it." A smile came across the face of the NXT Champion, accepting Rhodes' challenge. The WWE Champion removed his shirt and placed the title to the side, ready to fight Owens right there and then. "Wait, wait, wait. I never said anything about a match with you in front of these disgusting Brits. We'll do it next week," Owens said before throwing his microphone towards Rhodes, sliding underneath the bottom rope. A huge match up made official for next week. The WWE Champion battles the NXT Champion! Cody Rhodes vs. Kevin Owens!
Backstage, Xavier Woods was shown still following Big E around, music from his trombone blasting in the ear of Big E. Soon, Big E had enough as he turned around, grabbed the trombone from Woods and threw it to the side. Luckily for Woods, Kofi Kingston just happened to be exiting the locker room when that all happened. "Hey, hey, hey! Chill, E! There's no need for that kind of anger! Xavier is just trying to be a good messenger. We really do want you as a member of the New Day, and if you ask me, it's the best career move you could make right now. We want you in our squad, E! Think about it. You, me and Xavier spreading the power of positivity! Look at me. I lost an Intercontinental Title match on SmackDown thanks to John Cena, who wasn't even in THE! MATCH! WHY! DID HE! GET! INVOLVED?! THAT! MOTHER! F-" Kingston shouted in a fit of rage that grew as his sentences went on, Woods stopping him before he could finish. "... But, I've learned to contain myself and be a positive role model for all young children out there. All we're asking is that you think about it, because like Xavier said out there..." Kingston said as he placed his hands up and apart from each other, a huge smile on his face while Big E groaned since he knew what was coming. "New! Day rocks! New! Day rocks! New! Day rocks!" Kingston continued the chant with Woods' trombone backing him. He meets Rusev in a Manifest Destiny match that has no implications on the Finals, but is still a very critical one. Following the commercial break, WWE Commissioner Booker T was shown in his office with Roman Reigns, Dean Ambrose and Alberto Del Rio. "Right now, six superstars are left in Manifest Destiny. Seth Rollins, who's already qualified for the finals, and CM Punk and John Cena, who have their match tonight. That leaves you three as the others in the tournament, so to make sure that you're all ready to complete Manifest Destiny within the next week, I'm putting you guys in a Triple Threat match tonight." Booker made his announcement as Reigns, who stood on the left side by himself, glared at Ambrose and Del Rio before leaving the room.► RUSEV DEF. KOFI KINGSTON W/ XAVIER WOODS IN A MANIFEST DESTINY MATCH: One of the bigger matches in Manifest Destiny for the wrong reason. Both Kofi Kingston and Rusev were win-less as of the opening bell, meaning that one of them would pick up their first tournament victory. Xavier Woods hopped into the ring apron towards the conclusion of the match, attempting to distract the official. Rusev took care of Woods by delivering a kick to the face to knock him off. 'The Bulgarian Brute' turned around into Trouble in Paradise, but Kingston only managed to get a two count! The audience came alive at that point, uncharacteristically cheering on Rusev. "Manchester has decided that Rusev is the lesser of two evils in this scenario," stated Corey Graves. Kingston got to his feet and began the "New! Day rocks!" clap, the audience chanting, "New! Day sucks!" in response. Kingston went for a second Trouble in Paradise, only to be caught and slammed onto the canvas! Rusev turned Kingston over and applied the Accolade, audience members rising to their feet in hopes of a submission. That's exactly what played out as Kingston tapped out! "Rusev did it! Rusev has finally won!" Michael Cole shouted as Rusev released the Accolade, falling back onto the mat with a look on his face as if he wanted to cry. The fans in attendance roared for 'The Bulgarian Brute' as he rose to his feet, finally breaking his losing streak. No longer is Rusev the laughing stock of Manifest Destiny. He's not going to qualify for the Finals, but at least he can now say that he has a victory in the tournament after performing underwhelmingly up to this point.
John Cena vs. CM Punk Moment #2: CM Punk's career goal of main eventing WrestleMania became a reality this past April when he walked into MetLife Stadium to defend the WWE Championship against John Cena and The Rock in a Triple Threat match. The night didn't end to his liking, however, as it was Cena who came out on top as the new champion.
Returning to Monday Night RAW, the focus was placed on the commentary trio as Michael Cole mentioned the shocking return of Shane McMahon last week. "Shane will compete for the first time in nearly five years at Survivor Series against Derrick Bateman in a Street Fight with quite literally everything on the line. If Shane wins, Bateman will be fired once again from WWE with no chance of ever getting his job back. However, if Bateman wins, he will earn Shane's stock in the company, which grew last week when Stephanie McMahon announced her resignation. If there's anyone who is going to rid the WWE of Derrick Bateman once and for all, it very well could be Shane. For those of you who aren't familiar with the most reckless member of the McMahons, here's a look at Shane O'Mac," Michael Cole said. A video package began playing featuring "Up in the Air" by Thirty Seconds to Mars, giving a retrospective look at the career of Shane McMahon. Not afraid to literally go to great heights, Shane will undoubtedly do everything he can to make sure that Survivor Series marks the end of Derrick Bateman's tenure in WWE. Neither man made the trip to the UK, but they will be present on RAW next week in Nashville to sign the contract for this game-changing match.► ROMAN REIGNS DEF. DEAN AMBROSE AND ALBERTO DEL RIO IN A TRIPLE THREAT MATCH: A Triple Threat match made earlier in the night by Booker T, who wanted the three remaining Manifest Destiny Finals hopefuls who are not in tournament matches this evening to stay on top of their game. After Alberto Del Rio took Roman Reigns out with an Enziguri, Dean Ambrose charged into him with a Dropkick that sent him into a corner. Ambrose ran towards Del Rio with a Splash, only for 'The Mexican Aristocrat' to move. Ambrose launched himself into the top turnbuckle, falling out of the ring. At the same time that Del Rio moved forward, Reigns slid back into the ring and delivered a huge Spear to pick up the victory. Reigns had his arm raised on the entrance ramp, picking up some momentum before his final Manifest Destiny match this Friday against Rusev, who suddenly could be a threat again after winning his first tournament match. A promo was shown for this week's edition of NXT. The Finals of the #1 Contenders Tournament takes place as Sami Zayn battles Tyler Breeze for the right to challenge Kevin Owens for the NXT Championship at TakeOver: Forever. Plus, the in-ring debut of Kyle O'Reilly, who looks ahead to a match against Adam Cole in Houston on December 14th. NXT, this Wednesday night on ION Television.
Following the commercial break, the signature of the Wyatt Family hit, the lights shutting of per usual. Massive boos could be heard coming from the Manchester audience before turning into gasps of horror when the lights were back on. In the ring was England's own Paige, tied up to Bray Wyatt's rocking chair. Paige tried vigorously to escape, but to no avail. The Wyatts' entrance themes sounded as Bray himself made his way out to the stage, the lantern shining onto his face just enough for the world to see his twisted smile. 'The Eater of Worlds' slowly marched down to the ring, the commentators noting that something in his other hand was visibly noticeable due to the 'Fireflies' in the crowd. Once Wyatt was in the ring, he blew out the lantern as the arena lights revealed a machete in his hand. Paige's eyes opened as wide as they could, her breathing rate increasing rapidly as she tried once again to free herself from the chair. Wyatt gently placed the machete's blade against Paige's face, 'The Anti-Diva' tilting her head to the right as far as she could. Wyatt then turned the machete onto its side, the blade now pressed against Paige's neck. Wyatt raised the machete up as if he was actually going to decapitate her in the middle of the ring. However, Wyatt dropped the machete onto the canvas, Paige not even able to breathe a sight of relief as she was still scared to death. Wyatt picked up a microphone that was already lying in the ring in front of Paige, kneeling as he looked up to her. "You know why this is happening, demon. Don't even put on a facade and try to hide the true nature of your skeleton. I've held out hope for so many years that someday, Abigail would be resurrected... And my wishes have come true. She lives. She is home... But she is trapped. Trapped within this monster. 'Paige' is a living, breathing creature from Hell who is harvesting the soul of the young, innocent Abigail. She is all I see in you, 'Paige.' I know she's there and I will do whatever it takes to free her from within you." "You're a Goddamn psycho," Paige said to Wyatt after his revelation for why he's been targeting her: He actually believes that Sister Abigail is trapped inside of her. "What I did to you at Hell in a Cell was the beginning. My message to let you know that I'm aware of who you are and what you're doing. Not only are you victimizing my beloved Abigail, but you're doing the same to all of these people! They're brainwashed by you! They feed into the lies of a demon and they admire for it! How dare you all do this to me?! The absence of Abigail by my side has lead me down this path and all you can do is bow to the monster who is caging her!" Wyatt grabbed Paige by her face, continuing to yell in it. "You have no idea what you're doing! You're not a real soul! You're the harvester of my sister's! Pain isn't something you feel! You've never lost anyone near and dear to you, you monster!" At that moment, Paige once again tried to free herself, even more determined this time to get her hands on Wyatt. 'The Eater of Worlds' would then flip the rocking chair back, Paige still tied up as she looked up at the ceiling. Wyatt placed one foot on Paige's face, telling her that come Survivor Series, he's going to vanquish her forever. "How fitting will it be for you to be the one who is trapped when I bound you to your tomb for the rest of time? All I want is Sister Abigail back in my family... And that's what I'm going to get. I will throw you back into Hell, demon. My family will be complete and you're not going to stop me." With his foot still stepped on Paige's face, Wyatt dropped his microphone and looked up at the sky, the audience continuing to boo him before the Wyatt Family signature ended the segment. Returning to Monday Night RAW, a recap of the previous segment that saw Bray Wyatt explain to Paige his reasons for tormenting her ever since Hell in a Cell. Footage from during the commercial break was shown of officials freeing Paige from the rocking chair that was tipped over onto its back. Once she was unbound, she sat on the ring apron parallel to the announce tables, staring down at the floor while the Manchester crowd tried to lift her spirit with applause. Paige placed her hands over her face, crying for a few seconds before stepping onto the floor. 'The Anti-Diva' wiped away her tears with her arm, though it wasn't long before new ones streamed from her eyes.
Backstage, Randy Orton and AJ Lee were shown walking towards the ring, the latter moving at a much quicker pace since she was skipping. Orton was stopped by Renee Young, who asked for a quick word regarding the upcoming Tag Team match against AJ Styles and Sofia Cortez. "This is just a taste of what's to come at Survivor Series when our teams are standing across from each other. It could've happened earlier, but obviously, Styles and a select few members had other ideas. Out of everyone there, Sofia was the only one who wanted to stand up to us. It's funny how she has more balls than anyone else on that team," Orton said before continuing on.
Cutting to a camera in the locker room area, AJ Styles and Sofia Cortez were shown watching a TV monitor, Mr. Money in the Bank fuming at Randy Orton's comment seconds ago. Styles stormed out of the room to head to the ring as Sofia stayed behind momentarily. "He's not lying," she said, agreeing with Orton about the cowardice of Team Styles. The Divas Champion moved the bandana that was wrapped around her neck onto the bottom of her face, ready for the Tag Team match up next.
► RANDY ORTON & AJ LEE DEF. AJ STYLES & DIVAS CHAMPION SOFIA CORTEZ VIA DISQUALIFICATION: A preview for the Traditional Survivor Series match taking place in thirteen nights when Team Orton and Team Styles collide. Intergender contests were allowed in this match, but Randy Orton and AJ Styles chose to focus on one another while AJ Lee and Sofia Cortez did the same until the conclusion. Orton began to size Styles up for the RKO when Sofia ran into the ring to stop him. Orton took Sofia out with a Snap Scoop Powerslam before turning his attention back to 'The Phenomenal One.' Soon, the rest of Team Styles hit the ring and went after Orton, resulting in the disqualification. Antonio Cesaro, Kassius Ohno and The Addiction stomped away on 'The Viper' until The Alpha Wolves and Wrestling Royalty hit the ring to make the save. The four teams battled it out in the ring, those on Team Orton getting the upper hand. AJ Lee would even leap off of the top rope, taking Frankie Kazarian out with a Hurricanrana! All members of Team Styles retreated as Team Orton stood tall in the ring, getting the upper hand less than two week until Survivor Series.
John Cena vs. CM Punk moment #3: The night following WrestleMania XXIX, John Cena and CM Punk had their most recent one-on-one encounter in Madison Square Garden, showcasing why they are two of the top talents in not just the last number of the years, but the history of WWE as a whole. Cena retained the WWE Championship that night, but in just a few moments, the latest chapter in this epic rivalry is written. Cena vs. Punk in a Manifest Destiny match! Prior to the start of the main event, a graphic was shown for the huge match up that was made official earlier tonight. Next week on RAW, it is champion vs. champion as the WWE Champion, Cody Rhodes, takes on the NXT Champion, Kevin Owens!► INTERCONTINENTAL CHAMPION CM PUNK DEF. JOHN CENA IN A MANIFEST DESTINY MATCH: As expected, the best contest in Manifest Destiny thus far as one of the best and most significant rivalries in WWE was reignited in the United Kingdom. At one point, CM Punk attempted to deliver the GTS, only for John Cena to counter it into a Code Red! Keeping the cover on Punk after the impact, Cena was only able to get a two count as the fans in attendance gave both men standing ovations for their performances and will to win. Cena placed Punk in the center of the ring, raising his arm before doing his signature "You Can't See Me" gesture in the face of the Intercontinental Champion. Punk, however, used that opening to roll Cena up with a small package, getting the near fall. Both suprestars rose to their feet as Cena charged towards Punk, who hoisted him onto his shoulders. Punk finally connected with the Go To Sleep, covering Cena to emerge victorious from this key Manifest Destiny match. Punk was handed back the Intercontinental Championship as he raised it in the air, the commentators reviewing what his win means for the tournament. As a result, both John Cena and Alberto Del Rio are officially eliminated. Cena staggered to his feet soon, Punk looking back as he stood on the second rope. Punk dropped back down onto the canvas and approached Cena, staring face-to-face with the man whose Manifest Destiny dreams he just shattered. The two exchanged a few words before shaking hands, uncharacteristic of them towards each other. The historical moment, however, was ruined by the New Day! Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods hit the ring and took out their frustrations on Punk and Cena. "After a classic match up for the ages in England, the New Day just couldn't let these two have their moment!" Mauro Ranallo called as the assault continued. After throwing Cena to the outside, Woods held Punk up and allowed Kofi to deliver Trouble in Paradise. The two turned their attention to Cena, grabbing him by his arms and dragging him up to the stage. Kofi and Woods picked Cena back up to his feet, only to throw him head-first into the window of the car that was part of stage set-up! The top of Cena's head shattered the glass as his practically lifeless body didn't move, officials rushing to the scene to help him. The New Day stepped onto the hood of the car, soaking in the heat from the Manchester crowd. "You don't like us?! We don't give a damn! Because... New! Day rocks! New! Day rocks! New! Day rocks!"

- Starting off RAW with Team Styles I mean it makes sense given AJ Styles is captaining his own Survivor Series team to face off against Orton's Survivor Series team but the 2 teams look good I mean Team Styles has Mr. Money in the Bank AJ Styles, Cesaro & Ohno the former WWE Tag Team Champions, WWE Divas Champion Sofia Cortez and the NXT Tag Team Champions Christopher Daniels & Frankie Kazarian while Orton's team is comprised of himself, DiBiase & Hennig the longest-reigning WWE Tag Team Champions in history, AJ Lee and the current WWE Tag Team Champions Eddie Edwards & Davey Richards The Alpha Wolves but seeing the teams in the ring together about to go at it I mean it was almost Survivor Series come early but who has more Survivor Series experience? Team Orton does because Orton he has been the sole survivor on every one of his teams that he has been on but also his Survivor Series record speaks for itself while DiBiase & Hennig they too have Survivor Series experience while no one on Team Styles has any Survivor Series experience
- Seeing tonight's semi main event of Orton & AJ Lee teaming up to face the team of Mr. Money in the Bank AJ Styles & the WWE Divas Champion Sofia Cortez in an Intergender Tag Team Match, I wonder if both teams won't get involved in this match? I can easily see it turning into a melee
- Neville and Barrett going at it in Manifest Destiny here in England you know both men are going to be considered fan favorites here in this match even though Barrett is a heel he will still get cheered and Neville is a babyface so he will still get cheered but seeing Neville beat Barrett...now I have to consider that an upset and I will tell you why...because Neville even though he is a former NXT Champion a former WWE United States Champion he is on the rise while Barrett at least in this diary he is a 2 time WWE Champion my point being that he is a former World Champion and Neville beat him...that's like The 1-2-3 Kid beating Razor Ramon that's how much of an upset it is...Neville he is what 3-7 now while Barrett is 4-6 I mean look at how the mighty have fallen especially where Barrett is concerned
- I love that you are building up Cena/Punk to be a big deal here giving this Manifest Destiny main event a big fight feel and really Cena/Punk has to be one of the all-time great rivalries not only in WWE's history but also of this generation this current generation of wrestlers and the fact that you are chronicling how this rivalry started how it began leading up to where we are now tonight where it all comes to a head in Manifest Destiny tonight in the main event of RAW...I mean the match essentially is a must-win match for both men
- Rusev finally wins a match in Manifest Destiny...finally he wins his match against Kofi I mean both men were winless in this tournament so only one of them was going to win this match but for it to be Rusev I mean Rusev needed the win more if you ask me and why I say that? After what happened to Lana I mean he needed a momentum boost so
- Big E. dropping the Langston from his name it is about damn time but Big E. winning his match against Fandango...I mean did we really expect anything less I mean let's be honest Big E. has more or less been on a roll but then post-match The New Day show up that being Kofi Kingston & Xavier Woods as they are trying to recruit Big E. to join them but will Big E. join The New Day? I have a feeling he will if not now he will turn heel sooner or later and join becoming the 3rd man to their group similar to The Fabulous Freebirds
- The Lone Wolf Baron Corbin...I cannot wait for him to show up here on RAW and make his debut I mean it has been hyped for weeks with these vignettes so he's finally making that jump over from NXT on to the main roster so it should be interesting if and when he finally does make his debut just who he will feud with first
- Paul Heyman the advocate for The Beast The Conqueror Brock Lesnar face to face with the WWE Champion Cody Rhodes...it basically builds up Rhodes/Lesnar for Survivor Series for the WWE Championship in the main event but Rhodes he has never ever been in the ring with a man like Brock Lesnar in his career in his life for that matter he has no idea who Brock is or what he's capable of if he doesn't all Cody Rhodes has to do is ask superstars like Wade Barrett, CM Punk, John Cena, The Rock of all people, Kurt Angle I mean they know who Brock is what he's capable of but apparently Rhodes doesn't...but at Survivor Series he will find out what Suplex City is all about the moment he gets into the ring with Brock he is bound to take a beating probably one of the worst beatings that he will probably receive in his whole entire career probably in his whole life I mean if he thought what Bray Wyatt did was bad just wait until he gets in there with Brock
- But to see Heyman and the WWE Champion Cody Rhodes be interrupted by the NXT Champion Kevin Owens of all people I was like what business does Owens have being out there? I mean it has nothing to do with him at all but Owens he wants a piece of the champ I mean not that surprising really but what Owens said about Rhodes is practically true he has had success virtually handed to him on a silver platter being a 2nd generation superstar being born into this business growing up in it he has never really had to pay dues to get here while Owens on the other hand he has had to scratch, claw and earn everything he has ever had in life it wasn't handed to him but Owens/Rhodes next week on RAW...Champion vs Champion you can bet that that will probably be the main event next week on RAW
- Champion vs Champion main event next week on RAW it is only fitting because it is the go-home episode of RAW before Survivor Series and both Owens and Rhodes are in big matches at Survivor Series because Owens the NXT Champion has the returning Daniel Bryan and Rhodes the WWE Champion has The Beast Brock Lesnar
- Bray Wyatt in Paige's home country of London he has her held captive right here in the middle of the ring tied to the rocking chair and the machete I mean I was not only genuinely scared I was creeped out here...Bray Wyatt is a psychotic freak he really is because he actually thinks that Paige is harboring the spirit of his "late sister" Abigail he thinks Paige is Sister Abigail so it explains everything why he has been after Paige why he cost her Hell in a Cell against Stephanie why he has been playing mind games with her it all makes sense now but now that it all makes sense to Paige what is she going to do about it? She has to face this maniac at Survivor Series but not in any regular match but a Casket Match too no less Paige doesn't stand a chance like let's be honest about it
- Wow is that something or what? Orton and AJ Lee getting into the head of Team Styles in that backstage interview with Orton pretty much saying that out of all of AJ's teammates that the only one with any guts is the WWE Divas Champion Sofia Cortez which goes to say a lot about AJ's team now that was funny as hell I about laughed my ass off because Orton was right and then in the locker room AJ Styles Mr. Money in the Bank is watching Orton and AJ Lee and so is the WWE Divas Champion Sofia Cortez...and then Sofia pretty much telling Mr. Money in the Bank that Orton wasn't wrong either I mean that was what was even funnier and then Styles fuming so now what is he going to do? Is he going to prove that he actually has guts that he finally grew a set?
- Orton & AJ Lee beating Mr. Money in the Bank AJ Styles & WWE Divas Champion Sofia Cortez by DQ because of Team Styles getting involved only for Team Orton to make the save and it turning into an all out brawl an all out melee with Team Styles in retreat while Team Orton stood tall I mean we all knew this was going to happen well that both teams would interfere in this match and it would turn into a brawl...but with that in mind I wonder what happens next week on the RAW before Survivor Series? If these teams will cross paths once again or?
- Reigns winning a Triple Threat Match beating Del Rio and Ambrose well Reigns he has to be the darkhorse in this tournament I mean especially considering he is still left in the tournament but also so is Ambrose but Del Rio now he is more or less done if Cena loses tonight but Reigns gains even more momentum as Manifest Destiny winds down while Ambrose I wonder how he is going to be able to gain momentum?
- And the main event of Cena/Punk in Manifest Destiny just yet another chapter in their storied, epic rivalry which in this match it more than lived up to its hype I mean this match was so back and forth that really either man could have walked out the winner so many near falls counters and what not but in the end the WWE Intercontinental Champion The Best in the World CM Punk going over John Cena...Punk is now 8-2 in 2nd place still while Cena is officially eliminated from the tournament with a 6-4 record I mean Big Match John getting eliminated when he was one of the odds on favorites to win this tournament too no less I will admit that I was shocked but now only is Cena gone but now Del Rio he too is gone I mean who is left in the tournament now? Rollins, Punk, Reigns and Ambrose are the only 4 left...well Rollins he is in the finals regardless because he has a 9-1 record so he is as good as clinched but who will clinch that #2 seed? Will it be Punk, Reigns or Ambrose?
- But then post-match both Cena and Punk get attacked by The New Day namely Woods and Kofi...I mean they definitely had to expect this especially Cena because he stuck his nose where it didn't belong last week especially when Cena got involved in Kofi's match against Punk for the WWE Intercontinental Championship in the Steel Cage but then Kofi and Woods have pretty much targeted Punk for a while now but seeing The New Day lay waste to them both I mean this just goes to show us that The New Day are all business that they are no longer seen as a joke here in the WWE

November 13th, 2013 - Kicking off NXT tonight was a video package recapping the Number One Contenders Tournament up to this point, featuring "Fractions" by Dangerkids as the accompanying music. In the first round, Sami Zayn, Tyler Breeze, Finn Balor and Hideo Itami advanced with victories over Michael Bennett, Jason Jordan, Baron Corbin and Drew McIntyre respectively. The Semi-Finals then saw Zayn pick up a win over Itami, while Breeze advanced over Balor thanks to an assist from the NXT Tag Team Champions, The Addiction. Tonight, the final match up takes place when Zayn and Breeze reignite their rivalry with a shot at Kevin Owens' NXT Championship at TakeOver: Forever on the line.
Cutting to the Full Sail Arena, the first voice heard was that of Paul Heyman as he made his way out to the stage to a mixed reaction. "Ladies and gentlemen, my name is Paul Heyman and I am the advocate for two of the most dominant and destructive forces in all of professional wrestling and sports entertainment alike. You may know one of them by several different titles. 'The Conqueror.' 'The Beast Incarnate.' The man who is going to annihilate Cody Rhodes in eleven days at Survivor Series. The next WWE Champion, Brock Lesnar! The other is the man who has wrongfully been snubbed from the NXT Championship picture, but nonetheless, will have the biggest impact out of everyone next month in Houston at NXT TakeOver: Forever. He is the TRUE number one contender for the NXT Championship. 'The Black Sun,' Hideo Itami!" Itami's entrance music sounded as he joined Heyman on the stage, the two walking down to the ring. Once there, Heyman reminded everyone that last week, a challenge was issued by he and Itami for a match against anyone from any part of the world at TakeOver. "We've waited long enough for a response. If there's anyone who wants to share this ring in Houston, Texas with the most vicious striker that this industry has to offer, step forward now and be ready to fight as if your life depended on it because that's likely the case." Seconds passed before the entrance theme of Dusty Rhodes hit, the NXT General Manager stepping out onto the stage. 'The American Dream' placed his microphone up to his face to speak, but was cut off by Heyman. "I know that you're not the one accepting Hideo Itami's challenge, so you better have some good news or you might just be this man's challenger after all," he stated. Dusty told Heyman that if it's good news he wanted, that's exactly what 'The American Dream' had for him. "Good news for Hideo. Good news for the people. Good news for NXT because 'Dream' went out and made it official. Houston is in for a showdown and I hope y'all are all ready for it. On December 14th, daddy, it's going down. Hideo Itami's opponent will be... Jushin 'Thunder' Liger!" A picture of Liger appeared on the titantron as the audience went absolutely ballistic for the news. "Jushin 'Thunder' Liger?! At TakeOver?!" Rob Naylor exclaimed, just as excited as everyone else watching. Heyman had a look of satisfaction on his face while Itami's blank stare never once changed. Dusty Rhodes has made the unthinkable happen! Jushin 'Thunder' Liger will wrestle under the WWE banner against Hideo Itami at NXT TakeOver: Forever!
Returning to the broadcast, a recap of the previous segment was shown as NXT General Manager Dusty Rhodes announced that at NXT TakeOver: Forever on December 14th, Hideo Itami will go one-on-one with Japanese cruiserweight legend, Jushin 'Thunder' Liger. Turning the attention to the commentary duo of Rob Naylor and Josh Barnett, Naylor was shown with a stunned facial expression as Barnett said, "Breathe, Rob. Breathe." "Oh. My. God. Jushin Liger is actually going to be in that ring across from Hideo Itami at TakeOver. Never in a million years would anyone have predicted that this would happen. A dream match for the ages on December 14th, ladies and gentlemen."► KYLE O'REILLY DEF. DANNY BURCH: The in-ring debut of Kyle O'Reilly, who is set to do battle with his former tag team partner, Adam Cole, at NXT TakeOver: Forever next month. When the bell sounded, Danny Burch charged towards O'Reilly, which proved to be a dire move. O'Reilly instantly got a hold of Burch's head and neck, bringing him into the center of the ring and applying the Guillotine Choke. The hold was cinched in as Burch tapped out! O'Reilly released the maneuver as the fans in the Full Sail Arena came unglued for what Mortal Kombat would describe as a 'flawless victory.' "I'm getting word now that this match was eight seconds! Kyle O'Reilly just made Danny Burch tap out in eight seconds in his debut match!" Rob Naylor said on commentary. O'Reilly made his way up the entrance ramp, putting not just the NXT locker room on notice, but WWE as well. Most notably his TakeOver opponent, Adam Cole.
At this time, a pre-recorded video was shown of the NXT Tag Team Champions, The Addiction, who are currently on the WWE European tour with the main roster, as are NXT Champion, Kevin Owens, and NXT Women's Champion, Sasha Banks. Standing outside of Wollaton Hall in Nottingham, Christopher Daniels said that while he and Frankie Kazarian are embarking on an adventure overseas, they figured they would check in with the most vile fanbase in all of professional wrestling: the NXT fans. "The Addiction are doing big things in Europe this week, but we haven't forgotten about the business we left behind in Full Sail. Finn Balor has his rematch clause for the NXT Tag Team Championships that he wants to invoke at TakeOver, but from what we understand, he doesn't have a partner as of now," Kazarian said as Daniels chuckled to himself, stating that he wasn't surprised. Daniels followed up. "But Francois and I don't have all month to sit around and wait for you to make friends, Finn. So, here's what's going to happen. In two weeks, NXT's resident handsome lads will be back at Full Sail, leaving you with that much time to get a partner for TakeOver. Otherwise, guess your only partner is going to be that silly Halloween costume you call an alter ego. So, NXT... Europe... You have permission to worship us... Now."
Backstage, Devin Taylor was standing by one of the newest additions to the NXT roster, Becky Lynch. Becky stepped into the picture as Devin asked how she's been handling the transition from the independent circuit to NXT. "It's been a hectic couple of months ever since I got the call that WWE wanted to offer me a contract. It's a dream come true, nonetheless, and I'm happy to call NXT my home now. I guess you could say this is... N-Becks-T," Becky said, smiling while trying to see if Devin picked up on the pun. Becky was soon interrupted by Tamina, who said that she had to make the trip down to Full Sail to see what all the hype was about Becky Lynch. "I've been here long enough to see girls like you come and go, Becky. If you ask me, you're not gonna last long at all. You're out the door in a few weeks, tops," Tamina stated. Becky responded by telling her that while she is new to the WWE, she's not at all a rookie in professional wrestling. "I know who you are, Tamina, and I know what you can do in that ring. I'm not afraid, so if you think that you're right and I'm just a one-hit wonder, then prove your point in a match next week." Becky put on the steampunk goggles that were resting on her head, smirking at Tamina before leaving the scene.► MICHAEL BENNETT & CHRIS MASTERS W/ MARIA KANELLIS DEF. LOS MATADORES: Diego and Fernando paid NXT a visit tonight, only to be taken out by Michael Bennett and Chris Masters after a TKO from Bennett to Fernando. Afterwards, Maria Kanellis joined the two of them in the ring as Bennett took a microphone, demanding that everyone in the Full Sail Arena stay silent. "None of you people realize how lucky you are. Someday, the three of us will be on that WWE European tour. Our faces will be plastered everywhere you look. We are future WrestleMania headliners and when that day comes, you're all going to wish that you treated us with more respect here. But... Now is your chance to start changing your ways because right now, one of the most talented individuals in this company is about to make his way down to the ring, beat Sami Zayn with the greatest of ease and solidify his spot as the number one contender for the NXT Championship: Tyler Breeze!" Breeze's entrance music his 'Prince Pretty' walked to the ring, greeting Bennett, Masters and Maria. The three of them remained at ringside for one of the biggest matches in the history of NXT television. At this time, a video package was shown to recap the events at the conclusion of last week's show, highlighting the debut of Pentagon and the return of Maxine. Pentagon, who established himself in AAA before signing with NXT, laid waste to PMA, viciously breaking the arm of Drake Younger. Maxine has vowed that she and Pentagon will be in the Full Sail Arena next week to explain their actions and alliance.► SAMI ZAYN DEF. TYLER BREEZE W/ MICHAEL BENNETT, CHRIS MASTERS & MARIA KANELLIS TO BECOME THE NUMBER ONE CONTENDER FOR THE NXT CHAMPIONSHIP: The finals of the tournament to determine who will challenge Kevin Owens for the NXT Championship at TakeOver: Dallas one month from tomorrow. The audience was firmly behind Sami Zayn as he battled one of the two men responsible for him losing the NXT Title as soon as he won it back in May. After Zayn delivered a Tornado DDT to Breeze, he got the cover, only for Michael Bennett to pull the official out of the ring. Boos rained down onto 'The Prodigy,' though those soon turned to cheers as Uhaa Nation ran down to ringside! Uhaa rammed Bennett into the ring apron before turning his attention to Chris Masters, the two engaging in a fist fight. Bennett was back on his feet as he pushed Uhaa onto the floor, he and Masters gaining the upper hand. That didn't last long, however, as Ricochet entered the ring through the audience, springboarding off of the top rope with a Shooting Star Press onto Bennett and Masters! Ricochet assisted Uhaa to his feet before going back after Bennett and Masters, brawling all the way to the backstage area. Breeze looked towards the entrance ramp, realizing that this match was now a one-on-one contest like it should have been the entire time. Breeze sized up Zayn for the Super Model kick, only to be caught with an Exploder Suplex into the corner! Zayn backed into the opposite corner, the crowd coming alive for what they knew was about to happen. Zayn charged towards Breeze with the Helluva Kick, covering him to get the victory! "Sami Zayn is the number one contender!" yelled the ecstatic Rob Naylor on commentary, sharing the joy that was felt among the entire Full Sail audience. The official announcement was made as Zayn had his arm raised, coming out on top in this tournament to earn another opportunity at the NXT Championship. Breeze rolled out of the ring, soon realizing what had happened. The expression on the face of 'Prince Pretty' suggested that Ricochet and Uhaa Nation would have his full, undivided attention now that he is no loner in the running for an NXT Championship match at TakeOver: Forever.
The celebration for Sami Zayn continued as he greeted the audience members in the front row, taking pictures and signing autographs for the fans who have supported him since he made his debut a year ago. Suddenly, the celebration was halted as the NXT Champion Kevin Owens ran down to ringside and leveled Zayn in the face with the title! "Are you kidding me?! Kevin Owens is supposed to be on the European tour!" Rob Naylor shouted, Josh Barnett giving his input afterwards. "This was his plan from the beginning. Kevin Owens left England just to take out whoever won this tournament." Owens picked Zayn up form the floor, placing him in position for a Powerbomb. Owens brought Zayn onto his shoulders, throwing him back-first onto the ring apron! Zayn's body instantly collapsed onto the floor as officials forced Owens away from him. Owens headed up the entrance ramp, raising the NXT Championship while doctors began to tend to Zayn. Owens and Zayn will meet at TakeOver: Forever in Houston for the gold, but after the attack from Owens, who's to say that Zayn will even be able to compete?
