Night Raw
Date: November 2, 2015
Location: Pepsi Center, Denver, Colorado
Commentators: Michael Cole, John Bradshaw Layfield, Byron Saxton
Kevin Owens vs. Dolph Ziggler
Rating: C-. Not great here and I could have done without hearing about Summer streaming video on whatever she was doing. Back in my day, you watched the video of the match during the match instead of trying to find some video on the internet. Owens is still on a roll though and Breeze gets to mess with Dolph even more so well done.
Post match Tyler goes to pose over Ziggler but gets punched in the face. That earns Ziggler a Beauty Shot as Summer continues to stream.
We look back at 1987 when the first Survivor Series took place on Thanksgiving night. That was a great show.
Rollins recruits Owens for his team tonight with promises of a title match at Wrestlemania.
We look at Paige going full heel last week.
Cesaro vs. The Miz
Unless the souls are consumed by a higher power (there would be a Vince joke here but all of the good ones are probably already covered) like Bray, who has already harvested the souls of Undertaker and Kane. Bray summons the thunder and lightning (thunder rolls and purple lightning comes out of the posts) because he now controls the powers of darkness. A bunch of fireworks go off and we see a highlight video of the Brothers of Destruction. Cool segment but go win something.
Lucha Dragons vs. King Barrett/Sheamus
Alberto Del Rio vs. R-Truth
Clip of the Raw vs. Smackdown Survivor Series match in 2005.
Rollins lets Big E. and Kofi (still no Woods) join the team if they can find a fifth man. They hold up the unicorns and look like they have ice cream headaches until Xavier returns to complete the team. A TEAM RO-LLINS dance party starts but Seth walks off.
Sasha Banks vs. Brie Bella vs. Becky Lynch vs. Paige
Winner gets the shot at Survivor Series. No Nikki, who is out with an injury. Brie and Sasha shove each other around to start until Becky dropkicks them down and nips up. Sasha and Becky trade some rollups for two each but Becky starts going after the knee to take over. Brie finally comes back in with a double middle rope dropkick. We get some running BRIE MODE (which now means no facial expressions instead of getting smashed) knees but Paige superkicks Brie down.
After taking their sweet time we get a Tower of Doom with Sasha taking the superplex and Becky powerbombing everyone down. The Disarm-Her has Brie in trouble but Sasha makes the save and gets two on Becky off a neckbreaker. The Bank Statement has Becky in trouble (she looked like she was tapping) but Paige breaks it up and hooks the Rampaige to pin Becky at 13:18.
Team Rollins vs. Team Reigns
Seth Rollins, Kevin Owens, New Day
Roman Reigns, Unknown, TBA, TBD, A mystery partner
Rating: B-. First of all: the following people use superkicks.
Paige
Jimmy Uso
Jey Uso
Alberto Del Rio
Luke Harper
Seth Rollins
Dolph Ziggler
Rusev
Kevin Owens
Tyler Breeze
And I might be forgetting some. I know the company edict is that Shawn Michaels is the greatest of all time but LEARN SOMETHING NEW. Even the Young Bucks do something else every now and then.
Rollins cleans house with the chair but Reigns gets in a Superman Punch to send him running to end the show.
