WWE “Monday Night Raw” – Nov. 10
* Lilian Garcia opens the program with rendition of, “God Save the Queen.” Some “Where’s our Network?!” chants began. The company then showed a recap of the previous weeks’ “RAW,” where Randy Orton was attacked by The Authority, suffering “injury” and turning babyface at the end of the program. UK fans start chanting “Where’s our Network?!” again.
* John Cena arrives to a massive heated response (Hella-boos). The crowd sang, “John Cena sucks!” during his intro. Rattled, Cena attempted to get the crowd on his side, but fails miserably until he said he agreed with their desire for the WWE Network overseas, and then the crowd began to cheer for him. He would go own to blame The Authority for the WWE Network delay in the UK.
Cena claims The Authority have hindered others from wanting to join Team Cena at “Survivor Series.” He states that Zack Ryder’s injury last week is real, and was the result of him saying he wanted to join Team Cena. However, he did say that two men are with him: Jack Swagger and Dolph Ziggler. He said The Authority scared everyone else away, everyone else but one man. Cena then called that man, Ryback, out to the ring.
The Authority comes out to massive heat, vying for Ryback to join Team Authority. Cena, Triple H, and Stephanie McMahon all make their case for Ryback, and after Triple H makes him a big offer, he smiled. Cena calls The Authority wankers, then asks Ryback who’s side he was on. As the crowd chants, “Feed Me More,” Ryback claims he doesn’t fear The Authority, but they are the ones who sign his paycheck, and the lays Cena out with a Spinebuster, teasing that he will join Team Authority by the end of the night.
1.) Seth Rollins def. Jack Swagger (w/ Zeb Colter) via Pinfall. Rollins got the win via Curb Stomp. Swagger was busted open, and took a second Curb Stomp following the end of the bout.
*Dean Ambrose cuts a promo backstage. He says that he hopes there’s a special place in hell for both he and Bray Wyatt, and a match between the two at “Survivor Series” was made official.
* Backstage segment featuring Ryback, who got massive amounts of boos when his image hit the screen. Kane confronts him, saying that he should take out Cena tonight. his opportunity to take out Cena. Ryback says he doesn’t need help, and he’s not scared of anyone, which initiated massive amounts of tension between he and Kane.
2.) Paige def. Alicia Fox via Pinfall. Paige gets a huge pop and an easy victory.
* Backstage segment showing Triple H and Stephanie McMahon discuss “what if” their team loses at “Survivor Series.” Triple H says as long as they have each other, they’ll be fine, and they kiss to end the segment.
* Lana tells Stephanie McMahon that she and Rusev were still considering the offer to join Team Authority, even though Rusev was granted his US title shot on Nov. 3 because of them. Steph calls Lana a stupid twit and says you scratch my back, meaning Rusev owes them one.
*Rusev and Lana enter the ring. Clips of Rusev winning the US Championship on the WWE Network on Nov. 3 were shown, and the UK crowd boo relentlessly. After Lana cuts a great heel promo, the Russian national anthem blares, which also gets booed heavily. However, Sheamus makes his way to the ring and changes the game.
3.) Rusev def. Sheamus via Count-out. Apparently this match went WAY too long and the crowd was bored to tears. Lots of useless chanting went on, including a “You F***ed Up!” chant. The Authority stooges stopped Sheamus from re-entering the ring before a 10-count was finished by the official, while Rusev got back in just in time. Rusev retained his US title.
* Following the match, Stephanie asked Lana what their decision was, to which Lana officially accepted the offer, placing Rusev on Team Authority come “Survivor Series.”
*Ryback runs into Seth Rollins backstage. Rollins tries to talk Ryback into making sure they’re on the same page, Ryback just said his gameplan is simply, locate target, and destroy.
4.) The Miz & Damien Mizdow (w/ Mizwoggle) def. Los Matadores (w/ El Torito) via Pinfall. Sandow received a massive ovation throughout the match.
*Backstage in a backstage segment featuring Ziggler, Cena, and Triple H, it’s announced that Swagger is no longer a member of Team Cena and Cena is banned from ringside during Ziggler vs. Henry.
5.) Dolph Ziggler def. Mark Henry via DQ. Henry threw the ringbell at Ziggler, getting himself disqualified. Big Show came out, saved Ziggler from an attack, and announced that he’d be on Team Cena come “Survivor Series.”
* Kane and Bray Wyatt vs. Dean Ambrose and Chris Jericho is announced as the “Smackdown” main event for the week of Nov. 14.
*Sheamus joined Team Cena backstage, leaving one spot open for someone else.
6.) AJ Lee def. Brie Bella (w/Nikki Bella) via Submission. There were loud C.M. Punk chants during Lee’s entrance. Not a great match. Lee won with the Black Widow. Nikki attacked Lee following the bout and posed with the Divas title…although no one responded to the spot.
* Ryback is with Henry backstage. They talk about their WrestleMania 29 match, and Ryback is welcomed to Team Authority.
7.) Tyson Kidd def. Adam Rose via Submission. Great reaction from the UK for Rose. Highlights showed Rose knocking out The Bunny. The Bunny distracted Rose, allowing Kidd to slap on the Sharpshooter. Rose then attacked The Bunny.
8.) John Cena def. Ryback via DQ. Kane came in the ring and cost Ryback the match. The two stood face to face with Rollins trying to keep the peace. However, Ryback hits Rollins, then gets attacked by Kane. Team Authority all come down and attack Cena, which brought out the rest of Team Cena to act as well. When Team Authority got the upper hand on Team Cena, Ryback re-entered the ring and cleared house before leaving by himself.
