Backstage: Team Cena
We see all of the Team Cena members hanging around talking about how important tonight is. In walks Cena and says he’s going to do everything in his power to make sure his team members keep their jobs. The talk ends with Ryback saying, “tonight it’s feeding time, and the big guy is hungry.” Cena says there’s only one thing left to do. Erick Rowan takes his sheep mask off and simply says, “win.”
WWE Divas Championship
Nikki Bella (with Brie Bella) vs. AJ Lee (c)
Now it’s time for WWE Divas Championship action. Out walks Nikki Bella, accompanied by her personal assistant, Brie Bella. We see some video packages of how the two have gotten along since Brie became Nikki’s assistant, including the big set up for tonight’s Nikki-AJ match with Brie dressing up as AJ last week, only to get beaten up by AJ along with Nikki.
Well, that one lasted even less time than the comedy tag-match earlier. The bell rings, due to a distraction by Brie on the floor, AJ turns right around into Nikki’s finisher. 1-2-3. Nikki wins. After the match, Brie celebrates with Nikki as if she wasn’t forced to do that, but instead that she wanted to do it on her own. Anyways, we have a new Divas champ.
Winner and NEW WWE Divas Champion: Nikki Bella
Traditional Elimination Match
– Team Authority vs. Team Cena
It’s main event time, folks! After “King of Kings” plays and Triple H and Stephanie McMahon make their way down to the ring. Each of the members of Team Authority come out and stand tall in the ring all at the same time.
Finally, it’s time for the good guys. Out first is Dolph Ziggler. Big Show follows him out. After him, with what I believe is new theme music (but still wearing a sheep mask), is Erick Rowan. “Feed Me More” plays as the co-captain, if you will, of the Team Cena faction makes his way out. The crowd — at least from what I can hear on my WWE Network feed, doesn’t seem that hot for the big fella. And finally, in the usual giant mixed reaction, which seems pretty down the middle thus far, is the captain of the team, John Cena.
Once all the members are in the ring, Triple H and Stephanie McMahon exit the ring. HHH slaps Mark Henry to try and fire him up. He’s seemingly going to start things off for his team. HHH and Steph are still on the apron, by the way. Big Show ends up KO’ing Henry as soon as he turns around. Boom. Just that quick. Henry has been eliminated. It’s now 5 on 4.
Eliminated From Team Authority: Mark Henry
The next fall, if that’s what we’re calling them, begins with Big Show taking it to Kane, who came in next to represent Team Authority. Show beats up on Kane a bit and then tags in Cena. Cena picks up where Show left off, taking it to the big red machine. Kane tags om Harper, so Cena tags in Rowan.
The crowd was hot to see Harper and Rowan, but before either could touch, Rollins forcibly tagged himself in on Harper. So, Rollins is in now and Rowan is beating him up in the middle of the ring. Using his power to manhandle “Mr. Money In The Bank.”
Rowan tags in Rollins and now the crowd is definitely hot for Ryback. They pop big for his tag and the “Feed me more” chants break out immediately. Harper tags in and Ryback is now manhandling him as well. Now, Kane tags in, but Ryback goes right after him. Kane ends up getting in a few shots, but Ryback hits a Lou Thesz press on him and beats on him some more.
Finally, Rusev tags in. The crowd likes the sight of these two killers standing across from each other. Rusev finally gets in the first bit of real offense on Ryback, but it isn’t long before Ryback blasts Rusev as well. Ryback hits a Meathook clothesline on Rusev. He picks him up for the Shellshock but due to interference from Kane, doesn’t get it. Now everyone hits the ring and there’s chaos all over the place.
In the midst of all of this, Rollins blasts Ryback with a Curb Stomp, which the ref didn’t see. Rusev pins him. Ryback is eliminated.
Eliminated From Team Cena: Ryback
Starting off the next fall is Rusev and Big Show. Rusev tags in Harper. Show beats up on Harper for a while but a big clothesline from the former Wyatt family takes Show down to one knee. Rollins tags in and picks up where Harper left off, taking it to Show in the middle of the ring. Now Kane tags in and now he’s beating up on Show.
The action continues as Big Show finally tags in Dolph Ziggler, a man the fans have been chanting for throughout the match. He comes in with a flurry of offense.
