Job Security

– We open with highlights from last night’s WWE Raw, including Smackdown’s invasion, Becky Lynch kicking ass soaked in blood after Nia Jax busted her up, reportedly causing a broken nose and concussion. They announce that Becky is out of Survivor Series, confirming the injuries and showing footage.

AJ Styles Talks: Styles says on Sunday, he faces Brock for the second year in a row. He has defended his WWE Title for over 370 days and been the workhorse since he’s been in WWE. He’s beaten all comers, but not Brock. He has a second chance when most don’t survive the first. Paul Heyman arrives and introduces himself. He’s here out of respect to Styles, and says there is no one Brock wants to fight more than Styles. And that is because Styles is one of the greatest of all time. Styles says we’ll never see Styles vs. Bryan, and Styles is not a consolation prize, as it will be a pleasure to watch the rematch. But Heyman makes sure to call Styles the second best performer, and Styles says he knows what Heyman is doing. Styles respects Bryan, but he recently tapped him out. He hasn’t forgotten his loss last year to Brock, but while he walked out, Brock limped out. Styles has gotten better at tapping people out while Lesnar has become more vulnerable. Sunday will be about Styles, the face that runs the place. Daniel Bryan arrives and says that he’s not sure why they are talking about him. Yes, Styles did beat him and he accepts that. Bryan respects Styles, but he’s been looking for a reason to punch him in the face. If Styles mentions him one more time and he will punch him in the face. Styles says Heyman brought up his name, and if Bryan is still hot over this, Styles mentions his name and Bryan attacks. Shane calls out the troops and try to break this up and refs and agents arrive. They keep fighting and finally get separated.

– Bryan argues with Shane and Styles arrives and they all yell and Shane books the title match for later tonight.

Andrade Almas w/Zelina Vega vs. Jeff Hardy: Almas attacks at the bell. He works over Jeff in the corner, laying the boots to him. Almas follows with chops and knee strikes, but Jeff hits a jawbreaker, but Almas goes traquilo as Jeff kicks him to the floor. We go screen in screen as Jeff follows and attacks. Back in and Almas takes control, hitting a dropkick and covering for 2. Jeff battles back with a kick, but Almas cuts him off, covering for 2. Almas grounds things, working the arm. Jeff fights to his feet, and they work into a double down. Back to full screen as they trade strikes and Jeff hits an atomic drop, leg drop to the balls and basement dropkick for 2. Almas counters twist of fate, gets Jeff in the tree of WHOA and hits the top rope double stomp for 2. Jeff then gets a cradle for 2.

– Nakamura makes a rare Smackdown appearance for an interview. He’s asked about facing Seth Rollins on Sunday. Rollins broke his heart when he said that he wasn’t thinking about him. All he thinks about is Rollins, so at Survivor Series, he’ll break Rollins’ face.

Paige Here: Paige calls out Charlotte, Lana, Carmella, The IIconics, Sonya, Mandy, Naomi, and Asuka. Paige discusses Becky’s injuries, and cannot compete on Sunday. Paige says that Becky will handpick her replacement tonight, and here she comes. The crowd loves Becky. A good beating has never stopped her, but she will not be cleared to fight on Sunday. She tried all day to be cleared, but has run out of time. Last night they invaded Raw and she tasted blood as she beat the hell out of Rousey and half the locker room. That was just a taste of Survivor Series, and even in her condition she could kick Rousey’s ass, but they won’t let her. Rousey isn’t the baddest bitch on the planet, she’s the luckiest. SO now she has to pick someone she knows who can get the job done. She looks all the women down, they make their cases, and picks Charlotte, telling her to make her tap and shakes her hand and they hug; respect. The others hug Charlotte as well.

– Charlotte comments backstage about what just happened. She’s fought with and against Becky, but Sunday, she fights for her to prove Smackdown’s superiority.

The Bar & Big Show defeated New Day @ 7:35 via pin

– The Usos meet with Sanity, the Colons, & Good Brothers and they are all on the Smackdown team. They join in unity.

– They have been teasing Raw invading, so it feels like AJ vs. Bryan goes 20-minutes and the insanity begins. Just a guess.
