Paul Heyman is in the ring with Brock Lesnar
Paul Heyman talks crap about Jinder Mahal, suggesting that he’s nothing compared to all of Lesnar’s other challenges. He says that Lesnar has conquered the most stacked heavyweight roster in WWE history, while Mahal has barely made it out of each pay-per-view with the WWE Championship.
Heyman tells Mahal that at Survivor Series, “you’re going to Suplex City.”
Heyman reminds the audience the last time Lesnar faced a SmackDown superstar, he broke every rule and regulation of WWE’s PG Era. Heyman emphatically accepts Jinder Mahal’s challenge at Survivor Series.

Alicia Fox is finally back in the spotlight following the outcome of this match. Bayley and Sasha went at it for the most of the contest, and Fox swopped in to pick the bones and collect the reward. The foxy one stands tall tonight.

Enzo Amore, Drew Gulak, Noam Dar, Ariya Daivari and Tony Nese vs. Kalisto, Gran Metalik, Mustafa Ali, Rich Swann and Cedric Alexander

Team Lucha Lucha stands tall in the main event. The bad guys seemed awfully shawft tonight. How ya doin’? Insert Cringe from my readers.
