• Becky Lynch (C) retained her Smackdown Women's Title by defeating Charlotte Flair in a Last Woman Standing match that was also one of the best WWE matches of the year.
  
• Ronda Rousey (C) defeated Nikki Bella (with Brie Bella) by submission to retain her Raw Women's Championship. She ended the show embracing the entire women's roster who came out to celebrate a successful PPV.
  

• The show opened with a recap of Roman's leukemia announcement and vacating of the Universal Championship.
  
• Baron Corbin was in the ring with the belt, discussing Crown Jewel in Saudi Arabia which got some boos, though there were more when he mentioned Brock Lesnar might end up as champion again. Brock and then BRAUN! came out and when Corbin tried to get between them, BRAUN! destroyed him with a couple of powerslams before eating an F5 from Lesnar. However as Lesnar was leaving, BRAUN! was getting back to his feet.
  
• Finn Balor defeated Bobby Lashley by DQ, after Lio Rush blatantly pushed him off the top rope when he was going for the Coup de Grace. Lashley attacked Balor postmatch.
  
• Balor had mocked Baron Corbin as he came to the ring, so after the match, Corbin had Lashley and Rush come to see him and congratulated Lashley on showing his brutal side, and awarded him with a spot in the World Cup at Crown Jewel in Saudi Arabia, removing John Cena who "didn't qualify".
  
• That was it, that was how they wrote Cena out of the event.
  
• It was announced in a video package out of nowhere that Ronda Rousey would face Becky Lynch at Survivor Series. That match is gonna rule.

• Trish Stratus, Lita, Natalya, Sasha Banks & Bayley defeated Ruby Riott, Sarah Logan, Liv Morgan, Alicia Fox & Mickie James (w/Alexa Bliss) in a 10-Woman Tag, with Nattie tapping out Alicia Fox to the Sharpshooter.
  
• Nia Jax was interviewed backstage about Ronda Rousey, and said she believed Ronda would destroy Becky at Survivor Series to prove Raw was the superior brand, and then Nia would be waiting for Ronda at whatever came after that. The interview moved to Ember Moon who was congratulated for her performance in the Battle Royal, but Jax cut back in to remind Ember that it was Nia who won. Ember challenged Nia to a match tonight.
  
• Elias was doing a concert in the ring, talking about how he came to North Carolina early to hang out with Ric Flair. He had written a song for Corbin but figured he was too beaten up to come out, so he walked to the back (rejecting Dana Brooke along the way) and sang a song outside of Corbin's office. Corbin came out then ran away before he could be called Stephanie's bitch, but then Jinder Mahal jumped Elias from behind.
  
• Elias defeated Jinder Mahal in less than 5 minutes in a singles match.
  
• Michael Cole insisted it was GUARANTEED that there would be a new Universal Champion after Crown Jewel in Saudi Arabia.
  
• The first round of matches in the World Cup tournament will be Lashley vs. Rollins; Angle vs. Ziggler; Jeff Hardy vs. The Miz; Rey Mysterio vs. Orton. The winner of the Raw side will face the winner of the Smackdown side.
  
• Angle did a promo admitting he was out of his mind doing this tournament, but he'd been out of his mind when he did all the other incredible things in his career as well, and he meant to prove he was still the best.
  
• Bobby Roode and Chad Gable faced off against The Ascension and the Authors of Pain in answer to the AOP attacking both teams last week. Roode and Gable quickly won... by beating The Ascension. Then the Authors of Pain beat them all up again.
  
• A video package of Roman visiting with sick kids from before his diagnosis was made public, and in what seemed to catch Cole by surprise the crowd started and continued a chant for Roman.
  
• Seth Rollins came to the ring and admitted that he hadn't talked to Dean all week because he knew that Dean can't be found when he doesn't want to be. He considered that maybe it was his fault that Seth attacked him, given how Seth turned on the Shield 4 years ago. He wanted an answer now though, and demanded Ambrose come out.
  
• Finally Ambrose appeared among the crowd after a music fakeout, but while he teased answering Seth's questions several times he never actually spoke. Seth got more and more frustrated until he declared he was going to come up the aisle and beat the answers out of him. As he prepared to storm up, however, Ambrose calmly just turned and walked away.
  
• Lio Rush cut a promo on Lashley's behalf about how Lashley was "money" and would win the World Cup at Crown Jewel in Saudi Arabia.
  
• Nia Jax defeated Ember Moon after a distraction when Tamina's music played and she stormed down to the ring to.... leave the ring again without doing anything.
  
• Lucha House Party from 205 Live showed up and beat The Revival in a tag-team match.
  
• Dolph came out with Drew and put over Kurt Angle but insisted Kurt's time was behind him but Dolph's time was just beginning, which he would prove at "Crown Jew" when he wins the World Cup.
  
• Ziggler beat Apollo Crews in a sub-5 minute match in which Apollo largely dominated, and Ziggler won after doing his beloved superkick into an exhausted flop pin spot.
  
• Undertaker and Kane came out and gave an oddly slow and lumbering promo in which they mentioned Crown Jewel (and got booed) before finally getting a pop when they called out DX.
  
• Triple H came out to the DX music to a big pop, but Shawn was nowhere to be seen. Kane got out of the ring to go attack them, but then Taker realized what was happening and turned around and took a swing at HBK, who ducked and hit the Sweet Chin Music to knock him down.
  
• Triple H and HBK retreated up the ramp celebrating, but were left surprised (somehow) when Undertaker suddenly sat up apparently none the worse for wear.
  
• The fact WWE are still doing the Saudi Arabia show is a goddamn travesty.
  

• AJ Styles came to the ring to a big reaction, which makes sense given the show was taking place in Atlanta. He called out Daniel Bryan, saying he had something he wanted to get off his chest.
  
• Bryan came out to a good reaction and there were dueling chants, but this was clearly AJ's home turf. Bryan told AJ not to apologize for accidentally hitting him last week but AJ corrected him, he DID deliberately hit him and is going to do it again at Crown Jewel in Saudi Arabia. Bryan said they didn't need to wait, they could fight right now.
  
• Shane McMahon returned, saying that he was back to run things differently, and so AJ vs. Bryan would happen tonight... right now!
  
• AJ Styles defeated Daniel Bryan in a great back and forth match in which both guys looked excellent but the crowd was - while not against Bryan - firmly in AJ's corner. Finally AJ was able to lock in the Calf Crusher and get the submission win.
  
• AJ and Bryan hugged in the middle of the ring postmatch, only for both to be jumped out of nowhere by Samoa Joe who beat the poo poo out of both of them, knocking out Bryan and posing with AJ's belt.
  
• Daniel Bryan, like his once-to-be brother-in-law John Cena, will NOT be going to Saudi Arabia.
  
• Backstage, both Miz and Jeff Hardy did promos promising to win the World Cup at Crown Jewel in Saudi Arabia.
  
• Paige meet with Charlotte Flair (who was booed) backstage, and asked Charlotte to be captain of the Smackdown Women's Team at Survivor Series. Charlotte declined, saying she isn't the right person for the job.
  
• BIG E defeated Cesaro in a Trick or Street Fight to celebrate Halloween, with the rest of New Day and The Bar at ringside. New Day were dressed as The Brood (and came out to their music). It descended into chaos, as it must, with pancakes, pumpkins, apple bobbing and blood-red mist involved.
  
• Shane met backstage with Orton, Miz, Jeff Hardy and Rey Mysterio to discuss the World Cup at Crown Jewel in Saudi Arabia. He warned them that if any of them made it to the final and LOST, they would be fired.
  
• AJ Styles demanded Paige give him Samoa Joe at Crown Jewel in Saudi Arabia since he'd dealt with Bryan now. Paige agreed.
  
• R-Truth replaced an injured Tye Dillinger for a non-title match against US Champion Shinsuke Nakamura. Nakamura still won. Most notable part of the match was the Carmella dance break.
  
• Women's Champion Becky Lynch, fresh off a MOTYC at Evolution, strutted to the ring in a "I Am The Man" t-shirt and bragged to an adoring crowd about her victory. She pointed out her match was clearly the REAL main event of the show, and promised that at Survivor Series against Raw Women's Champion Ronda Rousey, she would tear Ronda's arm off.
  
• Rey Mysterio and Jeff Hardy defeated The Miz and Randy Orton in a tag match main event, with Rey getting..... THE HOT TAG and running wild before effectively teaming with Jeff to hit Miz with the 619 to set up Jeff hitting Miz with the Swanton and getting the pinfall.
  
• Post-match, Orton RKOed Hardy and then did the same to Rey as he tried to hit a springboard splash. Miz celebrated besides Orton to end the show... at which point of course Orton hit Miz with the RKO.
