Survivor Series 2010
Date: November 21, 2010
Location: American Airlines Arena, Miami, Florida
Attendance: 8,000
Commentators: Michael Cole, Jerry Lawler, Matt Striker
US Title: Daniel Bryan vs. Ted DiBiase
DiBiase is challenging here because he wants to win his first singles title. Simple but effective I guess. Bryan has Rise of the Valkyries as his new music here but the lack of beard hurts. Maryse is with Ted here too and is rocking a beige dress. Bryan speeds things up to start and there go the lights. Daniel dropkicks DiBiase to the apron but as he goes to get Ted, Bryan gets suplexed out to the floor in a cool bump.
Sheamus says Morrison is jealous of him for being a former and future World Champion because Morrison never will reach that level.
Sheamus vs. John Morrison
Cole says Morrison described this match as a tank against a fighter jet. Cole: “Of course Morrison the jet and Sheamus the tank.” Thanks Michael. Morrison starts fast and dropkicks Sheamus to the floor followed by a corkscrew dive to take the pale one out. Sheamus sends him into the barricade and runs Morrison over with an ax handle.
Intercontinental Title: Kaval vs. Dolph Ziggler
Kaval comes back with a handspring into an awesome kick to the face in the corner. Kaval goes up with his back to the ring, allowing Dolph to put on a sleeper on the top rope for some reason. Dolph gets knocked back and Kaval misses a big flip dive, allowing Dolph to hit the Fameasser for two. The sleeper gets slapped on again (on the mat this time) but Kaval escapes and is launched to the top rope where he springs off and hits a spin kick to the face in ANOTHER awesome looking move. Ziggler misses a charge in the corner and gets rolled up for two before Ziggler gets a rollup of his own with tights to retain.
Team Del Rio vs. Team Mysterio
Alberto Del Rio, Tyler Reks, Drew McIntyre, Jack Swagger, Cody Rhodes
Rey Mysterio, Chris Masters, Big Show, MVP, Kofi Kingston
Divas Title: Laycool vs. Natalya
Back in and Natalya suplexes both girls at once but her back is hurt in the process. Michelle blasts her in said back on the floor, but Natalya shoves Michelle over the barricade. They all brawl at ringside for a bit before Natalya and Michelle head into the ring. McCool gets rammed into Layla and the Sharpshooter gives Natalya the title.
but once they split, they fell off the face of the earth.
Beth Phoenix returns to save Natalya from a double beatdown. This would set up a Divas tables match next month.
Smackdown World Title: Edge vs. Kane
Kane beats up Edge post match. Edge comes back and puts Kane in the wheelchair and sends him through part of the barricade.
Tag Team Titles: Nexus vs. Vladimir Kozlov/Santino Marella
Raw World Title: Wade Barrett vs. Randy Orton
We head to the floor where Barrett hits a kick to the ribs to take over. Orton gets sent into the steps and punched down back in the ring. Barrett covers and gets a fair one count. We hit the chinlock for a good while until Orton fights back with his usual comeback stuff. The backbreaker gets two and Orton glares at Cena. Barrett gets in an uppercut and hits a top rope elbow for two.
Cena has no idea what to do post match. Nexus runs in and gets beaten down by the Super Best Friends. Cena hands Orton the title to end the show.

I liked this one WAY better on first viewing. Then again I didn’t know what was coming for Nexus back then.
