NOW, WWE NETWORK PRESENTS
SURVIVOR SERIES KICKOFF.
>> THE COUNTDOWN IS FLAT OUT ON.
FANS HAVE JUST STARTED TO FILE
INTO THE SOLD-OUT ALLSTATE ARENA
IN ILLINOIS.
WELCOME TO THE SURVIVOR SERIES
KICKOFF SHOW, A SHOW THAT ONE
HOUR IS JUST NOT ENOUGH.
WE ARE EXCITED.
IT IS THE MOST UNIQUE NIGHT OF
ITS KIND IN THE HISTORY OF THE
WWE.
TEAM RAW ARE READY, TEAM
SMACKDOWN, THEY ARE READY.
THIS WILL REALLY SET UP WHAT
2020 HAS IN STORE.
I AM THE COACH, YOUR HOST.
LET'S GET TO KNOW OUR PANEL FOR
OUR NUMBER ONE.
TO MY LEFT, THE LOVELY AND
TALENTED CHARLIE CARUSO.
>> WE ARE ALL VERY EXCITED.
IF NXT TAKEOVER LAST NIGHT IS
ANY INDICATION, WE ARE IN FOR
ONE HELL OF A NIGHT.
JONATHAN: HE IS THE COHOST OF
THE INCREDIBLY ENTERTAINING WWE
--
>> I KNOW YOU GUYS ARE CHECKING
OUT THE BEARD, THE SHINE, THE
GLOSS.
>> YOU ARE LOOKING VERY
EXPENSIVE TONIGHT.
JONATHAN: HE HAS GOT THAT MONEY.
TO OUR LEFT, THE FINEST DRESSED
MAN IN ALL OF THE WWE, NO
OFFENSE, BOOKER T.
THANK YOU, DAVID OTUNGA.
DAVID: WHAT ABOUT MY LINE?
SURVIVOR SERIES IS FINALLY BACK
IN SHY TOWN 1989, I SAT WAY UP
THERE AT THE TOP, MY FIRST-EVER
EVER WWE PAY-PER-VIEW EVENT.
JONATHAN: THIS IS AN ARENA THAT
HAS HAD SO MANY GREAT MOMENTS
OVER THE YEARS.
SURVIVOR SERIES IS NOTORIOUS FOR
PROVIDING US WITH THOSE MOMENTS.
BOOKER T: WE HAVE A WHOLE LOT OF
TRICKS FOR YOU THAT WE WILL GO
INTO THE BAG AND BRING OUT.
GRANDMASTER FLASH, BACK IN THE
DAY, IT IS CALLED SURVIVAL IN
ORDER TO STAY ALIVE.
SURVIVAL, SURVIVAL, SURVIVAL.
CHARLY: WE GOT IT.
[LAUGHTER]
CHARLY: I WILL SAY ONE THING.
SURVIVAL IS ON EVERYONE'S MIND
AND THERE IS ONLY WAY -- ONLY
ONE WAY FOR EVERYONE AT HOME TO
SURVIVE THIS EVENING.
SURVIVOR SERIES IS ONLY ON ONE
PLACE, THE WWE NETWORK.
HEAD OVER TO WWENETWORK.COM.
IT IS FREE FOR NEW SUBSCRIBERS.
NEXT MONTH, TLC ALSO FREE FOR
NEW SUBSCRIBERS.
JONATHAN: WE HAVE A LOT TO GET
TO REY MYSTERIO, BROCK LESNAR,
NO-HOLDS-BARRED THIS IS NOT JUST
DAVID AGAINST GOLIATH.
THIS IS ABOUT REY MYSTERIO
TRYING TO FIND A WAY TO HARNESS
ALL THE EMOTIONS TONIGHT AND DO
THE UNTHINKABLE, BEAT THE BEAST.
CHARLY: DANIEL BRYAN THROWING
CAUTION TO THE WIND WHEN HE
WILLINGLY STEPS INTO THE RING
WITH BRAY WYATT FOR THE
CHAMPIONSHIP.
WILL HE ESCAPE THE DARKNESS WITH
THE TITLE?
JONATHAN: PETE DONE COULD BE THE
M.V.P. OF THE ENTIRE WEEKEND IF
HE IS VICTORIOUS TONIGHT.
HE WON THIS OPPORTUNITY LAST
NIGHT IN A TRIPLE THREAT MATCH.
HE FACES ADAM COLE.
CHARLY: EXPLOSIVE TRIPLE THREAT
SHOWDOWN AS AJ STYLES, SHEEHAN
KANE CAMORRA, AND RODERICK
STRONG FACE-OFF.
WE KNOW THEIR COHORTS WILL ALL
BE LURKING BY.
JONATHAN: WE STILL HAVE YOUR
TRADITIONAL FIVE-MAN ELIMINATION
MATCH WITH A TWIST.
WE WILL FIND OUT LATER ON THIS
HOUR WHEN NONE OTHER THAN THE
HEARTBREAK KID, TODD MICHAELS,
COMES TO THE SET.
CHARLY: TONIGHT, WE ALSO FIND
OUT WHICH BRAND POSTS THE BEST
WOMEN'S DIVISION.
THE FIRST EVER FIVE WOMAN
SURVIVAL SERIES ELIMINATION
MATCH BETWEEN RAW, SMACKDOWN,
AND NXT, WILL ANSWER THE
QUESTION.
JONATHAN: 2019 HAS BEEN THE YEAR
OF THE MAN, BECKY LYNCH.
JOINING HER, BAYLEY.
NEW LOOK, NEW ATTITUDE.
HOW ABOUT THE CURVEBALL?
SHAYNA BASLER.
THIS WILL BE AN EMOTIONAL MATCH.
IT IS TRIPLE THREAT FOR ALL THE
BRAGGING RIGHTS.
'S FIRST TIME EVER, BECKY LYNCH,
SHAYNA BAILEY -- SHAYNA BASLER,
BAYLEY.
>> THE MAN, THE FACE OF THIS
WHOLE BUSINESS.
DOES SHAYNA BASLER OR BAYLEY
THINK THAT I AM GOING TO STOP
FIGHTING?
THEY HAVE NOT BEEN PAYING
ATTENTION TO MY CAREER.
THE ONLY THING I FEAR IN LIFE IS
NOT BEING THE GREATEST.
>> HELLO, BECKY.
I HAVE BEEN WAITING A LONG TIME
TO MEET YOU FACE-TO-FACE.
>> ONE OF THE MOST DOMINANT
CHAMPIONS IN NXT.
>> THAT IS A SUBMISSION
MAGICIAN.
>> THE SURVIVOR SERIES, THE ONLY
THING YOU HAVE TO THINK ABOUT IS
WHICH ONE OF YOUR LIMBS WILL
BELONG TO ME?
>> JUST GOING TO KEEP AN EYE ON
ME?
ARE YOU KIDDING ME?
YOU ARE RIGHT BECAUSE I AM THE
ONLY ONE IN THAT MATCH WHO HAS
HELD THE ROD TAG TEAM AND
SMACKDOWN WOMEN'S CHAMPIONSHIP.
EVERY TIME I HAVE BEEN IN THE
RING LATELY, HE HAS BEEN
PERSONAL, BECAUSE IT IS FINALLY
ABOUT ME.
I COMPETE FOR ME AND ME ONLY.
SHAYNA AND BECKY WILL NEVER
THINK OF ME AS AN AFTERTHOUGHT
AGAIN.
>> I AM THE MOST DOMINANT WOMAN
THAT THIS DIVISION HAS EVER
SEEN.
>> I SAID THAT I WOULD ELEVATE
THE DIVISION AND I HAVE DONE
EXACTLY THAT.
>> I AM HERE TO REMIND YOU JUST
WHO THE HELL I AM.
>> WHO IS GOING TO SURVIVE AT
SURVIVOR SERIES?
>> WE ARE ON THE STAGE THAT IS
GOING TO LEAVE THOSE THREE WOMEN
INTO THAT RING TONIGHT.
I RESENT THE FACT THAT PEOPLE
ARE ACTING LIKE THIS IS SHAYNA
BASLER'S OPPORTUNITY TO SPOIL
SOMETHING.
IF YOU WATCH THE PROGRAMS, YOU
KNOW THAT NXT CLEARLY HAS THE
BEST WOMEN'S DIVISION NOT ONLY
IN WWE, BUT THE ENTIRE INDUSTRY.
THAT DIVISION IS BETTER THAN IT
WAS WHEN BECKY LYNCH WAS THERE,
WHEN BAYLEY WAS THERE.
THAT MEANS THAT SHAYNA BASZLER
IS CLEARLY BETTER.
WHAT IS NOT A MATTER OF OPINION
IS HOW GOOD I LOOK STANDING NEXT
TO YOU AND HOW TIRED I AM OF
HEARING ABOUT HARVARD EDUCATED
DAVID OTUNGA.
I WENT TO ADELAIDE CHRISTIAN.
THIS STARTED AS A RESPONSE TO
JIM CROCKETT TRYING TO LOCK UP
THE PAPER VIEW WINDOW ON
THANKSGIVING.
THE SURVIVOR SERIES, DEBUT OF
THE ROCK IN 1996, DEBUT OF KURT
ANGLE.
HULK HOGAN DEFEATED BY THE
UNDERTAKER IN 1991.
IT HAS BECOME A TIME-HONORED
TRADITION.
CAN YOU IMAGINE BACK IN THE
1980'S SEEING HULK HOGAN VERSUS
HARLEY RACE, VERSUS RIC FLAIR?
THIS IS WHAT WE ARE SEEING IN
THIS WOMEN'S MATCH, FIGHTING FOR
SUPREMACY.
THIS IS ABSOLUTELY
UNPRECEDENTED, AWESOME, AND I
CAN'T WAIT FOR IT.
>> IF YOU GET YOUR NOSE OUT OF
THE HISTORY BOOK, WE CAN TALK
ABOUT WHAT IS HAPPENING IN THE
PRESENT.
SHAYNA BASZLER HAS AN
OPPORTUNITY.
>> WHY DON'T YOU GET YOUR NOSE
OUT OF SUCKING UP TO NXT?
YOU'RE THE ONLY PERSON RIGHT NOW
WHO IS MORE HATED THAN ME IN
THIS BUSINESS.
SHAYNA BASZLER HAD A MATCH LAST
NIGHT AT WARGAMES.
IF THIS MATCH GOES ANY LENGTH AT
ALL, YOU CANNOT BE IN PRIME
CONDITION TO WIN A CHAMPIONSHIP.
>> SHE IS STILL ONLY THE
SECOND-BIGGEST WOMEN ON THAT
SHOW.
SASHA BANKS IS A MORE POWERFUL
FEMALE ON SMACKDOWN.
BECKY LYNCH IS CLEANING FOR LUCK
-- CLEANING FOR LIFE TO BE THE
MOST RELEVANT WOMAN.
SHAYNA BASZLER, NO ONE CAN BEAT
HER.
>> CAN YOU IMAGINE THE PATRIOTS
PLAYING A GAME BEFORE THE SUPER
BOWL, THE NIGHT BEFORE?
YOU CAN GET YOUR HEAD OUT OF THE
CLOUDS.
YOU ARE WRONG.
SHAYNA BASLER MAY BE BEST ON A
GIVEN NIGHT.
NOT AFTER LAST NIGHT WITH
WARGAMES.
>> I AM NORMALLY NOT WRONG.
YOU CAN SEE THE MATCH ON THE WWE
NETWORK.
I BELIEVE WE HAVE TO SEND BACK
TO THE OTHER PANEL.
>> ALMOST FUNNY.
>> LET'S TURN OUR ATTENTION NOW
TO WHAT WILL BE A FIGHT FOR THE
CHAMPIONSHIP.
THIS ONE IS DANGEROUS.
REY MYSTERIO ATTACKED HIS SON,
DOMINIC.
SINCE THEN, HE HAS BEEN CLEARLY
IN THE CROSSHAIRS AND TRYING TO
STAY ONE STEP AHEAD.
TONIGHT, THE ULTIMATE UNDERDOG
IS THE BEAST.
>> BROCK LESNAR IS ENTITLED TO
DO WHATEVER THE HELL HE WANTS TO
DO.
>> BROCK LESNAR IMPOSED HIS WILL
ON REY MYSTERIO, VICTIMIZED'S
MYSTERIO'S SON DOMINIC RIGHT IN
FRONT OF MYSTERIO.
LATER THAT WEEK, BROCK LESNAR
TOOK BY FORCE --
THE WWE TITLE FROM KOFI
KINGSTON.
>> AND THE NEW WWE CHAMPION.
>> BUT REY MYSTERIO BROUGHT BACK
THE GHOST OF BROCK LESNAR'S
PAST, DOMINIC MYSTERIO'S
GODFATHER, KANE VELASQUEZ.
THIS REALLY BEST OFF BROCK
LESNAR.
-- THIS REALLY PISSED OFF BROCK
LESNAR.
MY CLIENT DEMANDED THAT I GRANT
KANE VELASQUEZ A TITLE MATCH
AGAINST BROCK LESNAR.
>> VELASQUEZ WITH A KICK TO THE
HEAD.
HE IS DOWN.
>> RIGHT TO THE KNEE.
VELASQUEZ -- HE DOES.
>> BROCK CONQUERED KANE.
>> THEN CAME REY MYSTERIO.
>> BROCK DOING EVERYTHING HE CAN
TO PROTECT HIMSELF.
>> BROCK, YOU TRIED TO TAKE
EVERYTHING FROM ME.
YOU ATTACKED MY FAMILY, MI FAMIL
IA, MY SON, DOMINIC.
SO, FIGHT FIRE WITH FIRE.
>> WAIT A MINUTE.
>> WHAT IS IMPORTANT TO ME, I AM
NOT COMING FOR AN APOLOGY.
I AM COMING FOR THE WWE
CHAMPIONSHIP.
SO LET'S MAKE THIS EVEN MORE
INTERESTING.
BROCK LESNAR, REY MYSTERIO,
NO-HOLDS-BARRED.
AT SURVIVOR SERIES.
>> MYSTERIO WINS THE TITLE.
>> OR MASSACRE?
MIRACLE OR MASSACRE?
MIRACLE, MASSACRE.
WE ALL FIND OUT TOGETHER.
>> PLEASE WELCOME THE ADVOCATE
TO THE WWE CHAMPION, THE BEAST
BROCK LESNAR, AND MY GUEST AT
THIS TIME, PAUL HEYMAN.
PAUL: THAT WAS TERRIBLE.
WATCH.
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, MY NAME IS
PAUL HEYMAN.
WHY SHOULD THERE BE EMPHASIS ON
MY NAME?
I AM THE ADVOCATE FOR THE
REIGNING, DEFENDING, UNDISPUTED
WWE HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION OF THE
WORLD, BROCK LESNAR.
THE BEAST THAT DRIVES THE BRAND,
THE CONQUEROR OF THE WWE
UNIVERSE.
WHY IS BROCK LESNAR THE
CONQUEROR OF THE WWE UNIVERSE?
BECAUSE TONIGHT, IT IS MIRACLE
OR MASSACRE.
WHAT COULD BE THE MIRACLE?
REY MYSTERIO THE UNDERDOG, REY
MYSTERIO HOLDING HIS INJURED SON
IN HIS OWN ARMS, CRADLING HIS
SON AFTER HIS SON WAS BEATEN
INTO OBLIVION BY THE BEAST,
BROCK LESNAR.
REY MYSTERIO TAKING A STEEL PIPE
AND VICIOUSLY ATTACKING BROCK
LESNAR.
ALL THESE RUMORS ARE AROUND THAT
BROCK LESNAR IS NOT AT 100%,
THAT TONIGHT IS THE NIGHT THAT
REY MYSTERIO PULLS OFF THE
MIRACLE.
OR, IS BROCK LESNAR A MIRACLE
KILLER?
TONIGHT DELIVERS TO YOU A
MASSACRE OF REY MYSTERIO THE
LIKES OF WHICH W W E HAS NEVER
SEEN -- OF WHICH WWE HAS NEVER
SEEN BEFORE.
PROVISIONS THAT YOU NEVER SEE
AGAIN.
MIRACLE OR MASSACRE?
YOU TELL ME.
>> IT IS QUITE OBVIOUS THAT PAUL
HEYMAN HAS NO FAITH IN REY
MYSTERIO.
REY MYSTERIO IS FIRED UP, READY
TO AVENGE HIS FAMILY.
THIS MATCH IS NO-HOLDS-BARRED,
NO DISQUALIFICATION.
IS REY MYSTERIO GOING TO BE
READY FOR THE BEAST?
>> ABSOLUTELY.
SOME BUT HE PUTS THEIR HANDS ON
YOUR KID, THEY WILL SEE A WHOLE
DIFFERENT SIDE.
THE FACT THAT THIS IS A NO-DQ
MATCH LEVELS THE PLAYING FIELD
AND MAY GIVE REY AN ADVANTAGE.
WE HAVE SEEN WHAT HE HAS DONE
WITH THE STEEL PIPE AND STEEL
CHAIR.
BOOKER T: I TOTALLY GET YOUR
POINT AS FAR AS REY WILLING TO
DO ANYTHING.
IF WE WERE IN THE REAL WORLD, I
WOULD UNDERSTAND THAT.
HERE, WE HAVE RULES,
REGULATIONS.
>> NOT TONIGHT.
BOOKER T: IN A CONFINED SETTING
IS WHAT I'M SAYING.
BROCK LESNAR WILL NOT
UNDERESTIMATE WHAT REY MYSTERIO
CAN DO TO HIM.
ESPECIALLY AFTER THE PIPE.
WHAT PAUL HEYMAN WAS SAYING,
EVERYTHING SEEMED TO BE IN ORDER
FOR WHAT BROCK LESNAR WAS GOING
TO GO OUT HERE AND DO, NOT ONLY
TO REY MYSTERIO, BUT HE WILL
MAKE HIM SUFFER.
WHAT I WROTE DOWN HERE WAS
MIRACLE OR MASSACRE?
MASSACRE.
JONATHAN: WE HAVE TO LOOK AT IT
FROM REY'S POINT OF VIEW.
HE HAS CLIMBED THE MOUNTAIN AND
DEFEATED SOME OF THE BIGGEST
NAMES IN THE HISTORY OF THE
BUSINESS.
WHAT DOES HE NEED TO DO TONIGHT
TO BLOCK THE MIRACLE PART OF THE
STATEMENT?
DAVID: HE NEEDS TO TAKE
ADVANTAGE OF THE FACT THAT THIS
IS A NO DQ MATCH.
I WOULD SAY KEEP THAT STEEL PIPE
RIGHT BY HIM AND DO WHATEVER
ELSE HE HAS TO DO TO GET AN
ADVANTAGE.
BOOKER T: REY MYSTERIO HAS
CLIMBED THE MOUNTAIN TOP, BEATEN
SOME OF THE BIGGEST GUYS IN THIS
BUSINESS INCLUDING BIG SHOW.
WHEN HE CAME OUT WITH THE LEAD
PIPE, HE TOLD ME ONE THING.
THE MAN WHO THROWS THE FIRST
PUNCH IS THE MAN WHO HAS CLEARLY
RUN OUT OF IDEAS.
JONATHAN: WAIT, WAIT -- I WAS
GOING TO LET THAT MARINATE.
DAVID: BROCK STRUCK FIRST AND
ALL THIS AND KICKED IT OFF.
BOOKER T: BROCK LESNAR WENT OUT
THERE, HE IS SETTLING BUSINESS
WITH HIS HANDS.
HE DOESN'T NEED NOTHING.
THE 265 POUNDS OF GRAVE DIGGING
DESTRUCTION.
IT IS GOING TO BE UGLY.
CHARLY: YOU CANNOT IGNORE THE
SIZE DIFFERENCE.
BOOKER T: IF YOU HAVE TO TURN
AWAY FROM YOUR TELEVISION, DO
SO.
JONATHAN: I THOUGHT FOR A SECOND
THAT WE WERE GOING TO BREAK INTO
AN EPISODE -- I THINK WE DID A
LITTLE BIT.
THAT IS LATER TONIGHT.
YOU DON'T HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL
7:00 TO SEE LIVE ACTION.
HERE ON THE KICKOFF SHOW, THE
TAG TEAM BATTLE ROYAL.
EVERYONE OF THESE FACES HAS AN
OPPORTUNITY.
THE SPOTLIGHT EARLY IN THE
EVENING.
CHARLY: ALSO HAPPENING ON THE
KICKOFF SHOW, THE CRUISERWEIGHT
CHAMPIONSHIP IS UP FOR GRABS.
KALISTO, AKIRA TOZAWA, AND LIO
RUSH DO BATTLE TONIGHT.
>> THEIR EGOS HAVE NEVER BEEN
BIGGER.
THE NEW DAY, CLEARLY THE BIG
NAME HERE BUT THEY HAVE TO WATCH
OUT.
TONIGHT, ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN.
THAT GOES DOWN HERE LIVE ON THE
KICKOFF SHOW.
>> THIS IS WWE SUPERSTAR BIG
SHOW AND I AM HERE IN TIMES
SQUARE, CELEBRATING THE 10 YEAR
ANNIVERSARY OF ANGRY BIRDS.
A VENDING MACHINE.
WHATEVER YOU ARE ANGRY ABOUT,
THAT MACHINE WILL GIVE YOU SOME
COOL PRIZES.

LAST NIGHT HERE IN CHICAGO, NXT
TAKEOVER, WARGAMES.
IT WAS NOT JUST THE MAN.
ALSO THE WOMEN STEPPED IN FOR AN
ICONIC NIGHT.
>> ON AN HISTORIC SURVIVOR
SERIES WEEKEND, TAKEOVER:
CHICAGO FEATURES THE FIRST EVER
WOMEN'S WARGAMES MATCH.
>> LET THE WAR GAMES BEGIN!
>> FOUR ON TWO.
>> THAT'S IT.
>> AGAINST ALL ODDS.
TEAM RIPLEY WINS THE FIRST EVER
WOMEN'S WARGAMES MATCH.
>> THREE BATTLE READY WHALERS
CHARGE HEADFIRST INTO THE BELLY
OF THE BEAST, BUT ARE THEY GOING
TO BE JOINED BY THEIR FOURTH
MEMBER TO EVEN THE ODDS?
WARGAMES HAPPENS NOW.
>> SCORCHED-EARTH,
NO-HOLDS-BARRED.
A MAELSTROM OF MAYHEM.
>> WE STILL DON'T KNOW IF THEY
HAVE A FOURTH MEMBER.
WHAT?
THEY HAVE RETURNED TO NXT.
>> WHAT A GAME CHANGER THIS IS.
>> IT DOES NOT GET MORE
DANGEROUS THAN THIS.
WATCH OUT!
>> WHAT AN INCREDIBLE NIGHT!
>> THEY ARE VICTORIOUS.
TEAM CHAPO SURVIVES.
>> THERE IS NO DOUBT, EVERYTHING
WE SAW LAST NIGHT IS GOING TO
HAVE AN EFFECT ON TONIGHT.
JUST ABOUT EVERY MATCH THAT
INVOLVES A NXT SUPERSTAR WILL BE
AFFECTED.
IT IS NOT JUST NXT THAT WAS
AFFECTED.
KEVIN OWENS COMING OUT AS A
SURPRISE PARTICIPANT HAS TO DO
TWO THINGS.
NUMBER ONE, YOU HAVE A DAMAGED
PLAYER ON THE TEAM.
NUMBER TWO, YOU HAVE TO QUESTION
KEVIN OWENS'S ALLIANCE.
SETH ROLLINS, HE COULD NOT KEEP
UNIVERSAL CHAMPIONSHIP ON RAW.
YOU LISTEN TO THE REACTION HE
HAS BEEN GETTING ON TELEVISION
LATELY.
NOW, ONE OF HIS TEAM MEMBERS WAS
FIGHTING FOR THE OPPOSITE TEAM
LAST NIGHT.
>> I DON'T THINK CROWD REACTION
HAS ANYTHING TO DO WITH WHETHER
YOU ARE A GOOD CAPTAIN OR NOT.
I THINK KEVIN OWENS IS DAMAGED
GOODS.
I DO NOT SEE HOW HE COULD NOT
BE.
I DON'T THEY GET REALLY MATTERS.
RANDY ORTON IS THE WILDCARD IN
ALL OF THIS.
ANYBODY IN HISTORY AS A
WILDCARD, 15 ELIMINATIONS IN THE
SURVIVOR SERIES.
I LOVE NXT.
I AM A HUGE FAN OF NXT.
I THINK THEY WENT THROUGH HELL
LAST NIGHT AND THEY ARE BEAT UP
TODAY.
RANDY ORTON, IT IS THE OLD GUY,
ONE OF THE GREATEST OF ALL TIME.
I THINK RANDY ORTON IS THE
WILDCARD IN ALL THIS.
ASK I DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH YOU
KNOW ABOUT WARGAMES MATCHES BUT
WHEN YOU LOOK AT NXT AND
EVERYTHING THEY WENT THROUGH
LAST NIGHT, WHAT WILL AFFECT
THEM MORE?
THE DAMAGE, OR THE HIGH THEY
WILL BE ON AFTER PULLING OFF AN
AMAZING SHOW WALKING INTO
SURVIVOR SERIES.
>> IT IS HARD TO HAVE TWO GREAT
NIGHTS BACK TO BACK.
YOU LOOK AT ATHLETES, GUYS WHO
TRY TO DO BIG THINGS BACK TO
BACK.
THEY PUT EVERYTHING ON THE LINE
LAST NIGHT, DID AN INCREDIBLE
JOB.
THEY ARE BEAT UP.
I THINK THEY CAN HANDLE THAT.
THE IDEA OF GETTING BACK TO THAT
EMOTIONAL HIGH TONIGHT, THAT IS
VERY HARD TO DO.
I THINK THAT GIVES A TEAM LIKE
ROMAN REIGNS, SOMEBODY LIKE
RANDY ORTON, IT LEANS THE
ADVANTAGE TO THOSE GUYS.
ASK AS MUCH AS I WOULD LIKE TO
STAY HERE WITH YOU, THERE IS
SOMEBODY IN MY EAR TELLING ME
THAT I HAVE TO SEND IT BACK TO
THE COACH.
LUCKILY, I HEAR THERE IS
SOMEBODY HERE WITH HIM THAT WE
WANT TO HEAR FROM.
>> HILARIOUS.
BOOKER T: DID HE SAY DIME PIECE?
JONATHAN: SOMETHING TO PROVE.
NXT SUPERSTARS HAVE THAT BUT
THEY ALSO HAVE GREAT LEADERSHIP,
GREAT WORSHIP.
ON THAT NOTE, WE WELCOME TO THE
SET ONE MAN WHO HAS BEEN A VITAL
PART IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF NXT
SUPERSTARS, AND THAT OF COURSE
IS WWE HALL OF FAMER SHAWN
MICHAELS, THE HEART RATE KID.
YOU HAVE BEEN IN SEVERAL
SURVIVOR SERIES OVER THE YEARS.
WHAT IS THE MINDSET YOU HAVE TO
HAVE?
SHAWN: SIMPLE, SURVIVE AND
THRIVE.
THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT NXT IS HERE
TO DO TONIGHT.
PEOPLE HAVE TO UNDERSTAND.
YOU WERE IMPLYING AT THE
BEGINNING OF THIS THAT WE ARE
SOMEHOW THE ODD MAN OUT, THE
ONES THAT SORT OF STIRRED THE
TROUBLE.
YOU BET WE DID.
THESE YOUNG MEN AND WOMEN
ALREADY TO SHOW THE WORLD WHAT
THEY HAVE DONE.
THEY ARE PASSIONATE, HUNGRY, AND
THAT IS SOMETHING THAT THIS LINE
OF WORK NEDS A PUMP OF LIFE
BREATHED INTO IT.
THAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN TONIGHT.
JONATHAN: BECAUSE OF WARGAMES
LAST NIGHT, YOU HAD TO WAIT TO
SEE WHO WOULD BE ABLE TO COMPETE
HERE TONIGHT.
NOW YOU HAVE YOUR FIVE.
IF YOU DON'T MIND, PLEASE TELL
THE WORLD WHO THE FIVE
SUPERSTARS WILL BE?
SHAWN: IT IS TOUGH TO NARROW IT
DOWN TO FIVE.
THE FIRST ONE WILL BE THE MAN
WHO WANTS HIS NAME TO LIVE
FOREVER, DAMIEN PRIEST.
MATT RIDDLE.
KEITH LEE.
OF COURSE, ONE OF THE BADDEST
MAN, TOMMASO CHAMPA.
TO COVER ALL OF OUR BASES, A
LITTLE DIVERSITY, THE NXT U.K.
CHAMPION WALTER WILL BE HERE
TONIGHT.
THAT IS ABSOLUTELY A GROUP THAT
IS GOING TO BE HARD TO BEAT.
IT TOUCES ON ABSOLUTELY
EVERYTHING THAT MAKES THIS JOB
GREAT.
CHARLY: THOSE MEN HAD TERRIFIC
PERFORMANCES LAST NIGHT.
TODAY, ARE THEY READY TO GO
AGAIN?
SHAWN: ARE YOU KIDDING?
YOUTH.
THEY ARE HUNGRY AND PASSIONATE.
HE SAID IT IS TOUGH TO DO IT
NIGHT AFTER NIGHT.
IT IS, FOR REGULAR PEOPLE.
THEY ARE COACHED AND LED BY
PEOPLE THAT DON'T EXACTLY DO
THINGS THE WAY EVERYBODY ELSE
DOES IT.
THEY ARE COACHED AND TRAINED
WITH ATTITUDE, A DEGENERATE AND
EVERY ONE OF THEM.
THEY GO OUT THERE TO STO THE
SHOW, THEY GO OUT THERE
UNDERSTANDING THAT THEY ARE HOME
RUN HITTERS.
TO HAVE THAT REPUTATION, YOU
HAVE TO HIT HOME RUNS.
THEY DID IT LAST NIGHT, THEY DO
IT EVERY WEDNESDAY NIGHT.
NXT LETS THE WORLD KNOW WHO THEY
ARE.
TONIGHT.
JONATHAN: CLICK, I WANT TO GET
YOUR THOUGHTS ON WHAT HAPPENED
LAST NIGHT AT WARGAMES, YOUR
TAKEAWAYS.
SHAWN: IT IS GOING TO BE A WAR
OF ATTRITION.
PETE DUNNE DID NOT COME OUT OF
HIS MATCH 100%.
ADAM COLE CERTAINLY DID NOT.
HE DID GO THROUGH A WAR LAST
NIGHT.
COMBINED WITH THE STRETCH, THE
RONNIE HAS HAD OVER THE PAST
SEVERAL WEEKS, NOTHING SHORT OF
PHENOMENAL.
HE IS GOING TO BE PUSHED
TONIGHT.
WE WILL FIND OUT HOW MUCH HE HAS
LEFT IN THE TANK BUT HE IS AN
IRONMAN.
CHARLY: LAST NIGHT, WE SAW THAT
TRIPLE THREAT MATCH BETWEEN PETE
DUNNE DAMIEN PRIEST, THE WINNER
COMING OUT TO EARN AN NXT TITLE
OPPORTUNITY.
WE SAW PETE DOWN EMERGE
VICTORIOUS.
YOU ALREADY SAID IT, HE IS NOT
AT 100%.
BUT NEITHER IS ADAM COLE.
TONIGHT WILL BE VERY INTERESTING
TO WATCH.
ON THAT NOTE, LET'S GO BACKSTAGE
TO KATHY KELLY.
YES, TONIGHT AT SURVIVAL SERIES,
WE WILL SEE WHO WILL EMERGE
VICTORIOUS BETWEEN PETE DUNNE
AND ADAM COLE AS THEY BATTLE FOR
THE NXT CHAMPIONSHIP.
ON THAT NOTE, HERE WE GO, THIS
IS THE RIGHT TIME.
LET'S SEND THINGS BACKSTAGE TO
KATHY KELLY.
>> PLEASE WELCOME MY GUEST, NXT
CHAMPION ADAM COLE.
LAST NIGHT, YOU LEAD UNDISPUTED
ERA INTO A CHAOTIC WARGAMES
MATCH AT TAKEOVER.
ARE YOU FEELING 100% HEADING
INTO YOUR TITLE DEFENSE TONIGHT
AGAINST PETE DUNNE?
ADAM: 100%.
LOOK AT MY WEEK.
RAW, SMACKDOWN, A LADDER MATCH,
AND LESS THAN 24 HOURS AGO, I
WAS AT WARGAMES AT NXT TAKEOVER.
NO, I AM NOT 100% BUT
UNFORTUNATELY FOR PETE DUNNE, I
AM STILL ADAM COLE.
PETE DUNNE WAS A RATE CHAMPION,
THE LONGEST REIGNING OF ALL
TIME, BUT HE HAS NEVER HAD A
WEEK LIKE I HAVE.
THAT IS NOT ME COMPLAINING.
I AM BRAGGING.
MYSELF AND THE UNDISPUTED ERA,
WE ARE THE MEASURING STICK.
EVEN THOUGH PETE DUNNE IS A PART
OF OUR BRAND, I AM GOING TO
TREAT HIM LIKE A WOOD A RAW OR
SMACKDOWN SUPERSTAR, SHOWING
PETE DUNNE WHAT A SUPERIOR
CHAMPION OR SUPERIOR BRAND LOOKS
LIKE.
AND THAT IS UNDISPUTED.
JONATHAN:SHAWN, I WANT TO START
WITH YOU.
WHEN HE SAID, I AM STILL ADAM
COLE, YOU CAN ARGUE WITH THAT.
SHAWN: IT IS HARD NOT TO DIG THE
KID.
PETE DUNNE, HE IS AS SCRAPPY AS
THEY COME.
HE IS A MEAN DUDE.
IT IS GOIG TO BE A CLASSIC
MATCH.
WHEN EVERYTHING IS SAID AND
DONE, THE BEST MAN WILL WIN.
THAT IS WHAT WE WANT IN NXT, WE
WANT THE BEST TO REPRESENT AS
THE CHAMPION.
PETE DUNNE DID IT FOR A LONG
TIME.
TONIGHT, HE IS GOING TO SEE IF
HE CAN TAKE IT TO ANOTHER LEVEL.
JONATHAN: THIS IS REALLY THE
ONLY MATCH THAT NXT WILL BE THE
FOCUS.
NOTHING ELSE AROUND.
SHAWN: THEY WILL BE THE FOCUS IN
EVERY MATCH THERE IS.
BOOKER T: I JUST WANT TO TALK
ABOUT SOMETHING ON A SIDE NOTE.
YOU GOT GUYS LIKE MATT RIDDLE
WHO STEPPED TO THE GAME.
THE ROCKET PUT ON HIM AND HE IS
GOING STRAIGHT TO THE MOON.
THE KID HAS AN ATTITUDE.
MAKE YOUR OWN RULES, YOUR OWN
BEAT.
DAVID: --SHAWN: YOU KNOW VERY
WELL HOW WE DID THINGS.
WE -- SOMETIMES, AS YOU KNOW, IT
IS HARD TO HARNESS SOMETIMES.
WE ARE ON THEIR TEAM AND THEY
UNDERSTAND THAT WE SUPPORT THEM.
THE THING IS, IT IS A STRUGGLE,
IT IS REAL, IT IS EVERY BIT
REAL.
CHARLY: EVEN THOUGH YOU ARE
TRYING TO CHANNEL EVERYTHING IN
THE RIGHT DIRECTION, SOMETIMES
ON NXT, WHEN YOU LET THE
SUPERSTARS LOSE, THAT IS WHEN
ANGST HAPPEN.
SHAWN: WHEN WE HAD THAT FREEDOM,
WHEN YOU LET US GO OUT THERE,
THAT IS WHAT EVERYTHING CHANGED.
THAT IS WHAT WE ARE HARNESSING
WITH OUR SUPERSTARS TODAY.
THEY ARE HUNGRY, PASSIONATE.
WHO WOULD WE BE TO SAY, DON'T
YOU DARE?
DAVID: SPEAKING OF WHICH, ALL OF
THESE GUYS ARE SUPER TALENTED.
HOW DO YOU THINK THEY ARE GOING
TO BE ABLE TO WORK TOGETHER
TONIGHT ON THE SAME TEAM?
SHAWN: THIS IS ALL OF NXT.
AS YOU KNOW, WE CAN ALL GET ON
ONE ANOTHER IN THE LOCKER ROOM
BUT WHEN SOMEBODY ON THE OUTSIDE
STEPS IN, WE ALL BAND TOGETHER.
IF SOMEBODY ON THE OUTSIDE STEPS
IN, YOU AND I ARE GOING TO GET
TOGETHER.
HIM BETTER THAN US.
JONATHAN: SO, THAT IS THE MEN'S
SIDE OF THINGS IN THE SURVIVOR
SERIES.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
WE APPRECIATE YOUR TIME.
SHAWN: I COULD TALK TO THE
LADIES, TOO.
JONATHAN: HANG RIGHT THERE, YOU
ARE NOT GOING ANYWHERE.
THAT IS EXACTLY WHERE WE ARE
GOING.
WE KNOW WHO THE FIVE MEN'S
SUPERSTARS ARE.
LAST NIGHT AT NXT WARGAMES,
TRIPLE H ANNOUNCED THE FIVE
WOMEN THAT WILL BE IN THE
TRADITIONAL SURVIVOR SERIES
MATCH.
>> YOU ARE OUR CAPTAIN.
WHO IS YOUR TEAM?
X MY TEAM CONSISTS OF, FIRST OF
ALL, THE ONE PERSON I KNOW I CAN
TRUST AND WHO HAS STOOD BY ME
THROUGH EVERYTHING.
CANDACE LARAE -- CANDICE LARAE.
SHE IS TOUGH AND I KNOW I CAN
TRUST HER UNLIKE SOME PEOPLE.
BE YOUNGER BELAIR AND -- BIANCA
BELAIR AND IO SHIRAI.
IF WE ARE GOING TO GO TO WAR
AGAINST RAW AND SMACKDOWN, I
WANT THE BEST ON MY TEAM.
AS FOR THE LAST PERSON ON MY
TEAM, THIS PERSON IS SOMEBODY I
HAVE KNOWN SINCE I WAS 16 YEARS
OLD IN AUSTRALIA.
I KNOW EXACTLY WHAT SHE IS ABOUT
AND EXACTLY HOW BAD SHE WANTS
THIS.
FROM NXT U.K., MY LAST PERSON IS
TONY STORM -- IS TONI STORM.
PRETTY GOOD TEAM, RIGHT?
>> I WOULD NOT WANT TO BE RAW
AND I WOULD NOT WANT TO BE
SMACKDOWN.
>> IT IS IMPOSSIBLE FOR TRIPLE H
TO HIDE HIS SATISFACTION OVER
THE REVEALING OF THE TEAM.
RIPLEY, LARAE, BELAIR, SHIRAI,
AND STORM.
CHARLY: ANOTHER WOMAN WHO HAS
HER HANDS FULL TONIGHT, THE
WOMEN'S CHAMPION, SHAYNA BASZLER
.
SHE KNOWS EXACTLY WHAT SHE WILL
BRING TO THE TABLE AND HAS BEEN
AGGRESSIVE SHOWING THAT TO
BAYLEY AND BECKY IN RECENT
WEEKS.
JONATHAN: BAYLEY HAS BEEN ALL
BUSINESS FOR WEEKS.
SHE JOINS US LIVE.
CLEARLY, YOU HAVE TWO WOMEN YOU
ARE GOING UP AGAINST TONIGHT
THAT ARE VERY DIFFICULT.
WHAT IS YOUR GAME PLAN FOR THIS
TRIPLE THREAT MATCH?
BAYLEY: MY GAME PLAN IS TO DO
WHAT I HAVE BEEN DOING THE PAST
MONTH, TAKING OVER EVERY SHOW,
EVERY BRAND, BUT DOING IT ON THE
STAGE AT SURVIVOR SERIES, THE
SAME THING I HAVE BEEN DOING FOR
SEVEN YEARS, BEING A CHAMPION.
CHARLY: IT SEEMS LIKE COME AT
THE BEGINNING OF THINGS, THERE
WAS REALLY THE AGGRESSION, THE
FOCUS ON BECKY AND SHAYNA, THEN
YOU STEPPED IN AND SAID YOU
SHOULD NOT BE KEPT IN THE
SHADOWS.
HOW DO YOU SHOW THAT YOU ARE THE
FRONT RUNNER HERE?
BAYLEY: FOR YEARS, I HAVE BEEN
LOOKED AT AS AN UNDERDOG.
I JUST KEEP IT ALL INSIDE IT IS
DIFFERENT NOW AND I AM SICK OF
IT.
THIS IS BECKY'S FAULT, SHAYNA'S
FAULT.
DAVID: DO YOU FEEL ONE WOMAN
PRESENTS MORE OF A CHALLENGE TO
YOU THAN THE OTHER?
BAYLEY: THEY ARE THE SAME TO ME.
THE SAME TARGET, ONE OR THE
OTHER, SUBMIT ONE OF THE OTHER,
DOES NOT MATTER.
BOOKER T: ON THE STAGE, GOT
EVERYTHING WAVING, NOT SMILING
ANYMORE, YOU ARE IN A MATCH WITH
SHAYNA BASZLER.
RIGHT NOW, EVERYBODY THINKS SHE
IS THE BEST.
YOU HAVE A CHANCE TO PROVE HOW
GOOD YOU REALLY ARE.
YOU'RE ARE IN THE PERFECT
SPOTLIGHT.
HOW ARE YOU TAKING THAT?
BAYLEY: THEY ARE NOT CALLED
BAYLEY BEARS, THEY ARE CALLED
BAYLEY BUDDIES.
I HAVE RESPECT FOR SHAYNA.
SHE IS A TWO-TIME NXT WOMEN'S
CHAMPION, THE DIVISION I BUILT
WITH SASHA BANKS.
I KNOW WHAT IT IS LIKE TO BE IN
THE POSITION SHE IS RIGHT NOW.
I HAVE BEEN DOING IT LONGER THAN
HER.
JONATHAN: WE WISH YOU THE BEST
OF LUCK TONIGHT.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
LET'S DISCUSS THIS MATCH FOR A
SECOND.
CHARLY: I LIKE THIS BAYLEY.
JONATHAN: NEW ATTITUDE, NEW
HAIRCUT.
WHAT DO YOU THINK HAS BEEN THE
BIGGEST DIFFERENCE FOR BAYLEY
THE PAST COUPLE OF MONTHS?
DAVID: IT IS FOR WHOLE MINDSET.
MY SON HAPPENED TO BE TUNING IN
AND HE WAS LIKE, WHAT HAPPENED
TO BAYLEY?
SHE IS NOT HAPPY ANYMORE.
I THINK THAT IS ADDED A REAL
EDGE FOR HER.
BOOKER T: WHEN THE SPOTLIGHT IS
SHINING, YOU TEND TO WANT MORE
ATTITUDE.
BECKY LYNCH, OVER THE LAST YEAR,
SHE HAS BEEN HAVING A LOT OF
HYPE BEHIND HER.
SHAYNA BAZEMORE, A LOT OF HYPE
BEHIND HER.
YOU WILL ACT OUT A LITTLE BIT
AND I THINK THAT IS WHAT IS
HAPPENING.
I LIKE IT.
CHARLY: EVERYONE THINKS THIS IS
THE NEW BAYLEY.
I THINK THIS HAS ALWAYS BEEN
INSIDE OF HER, I THINK SHE JUST
WANTED TO KEEP A DIFFERENT
DEMEANOR TO APPEASE THE YOUNGER
FANS, THE AUDIENCE.
SHE MIGHT HAVE REALIZED THAT
THIS MIGHT BE WHAT SHE NEEDS TO
BRING OUT OF HERSELF.
DAVID: THAT IS A GREAT POINT.
DID YOU SEE HOW SHE JUMPED ALL
OVER BOOKER?
YOU CALLED THEM THE BAYLEY
BEARS.
SHE TAKES THAT SERIOUS.
JONATHAN: WE HAVE ONLY GOT ABOUT
30 SECONDS LEFT AS WE WRAP UP
THIS DISCUSSION.
HOW DO YOU THINK TONIGHT IS
GOING TO GO?
DAVID: IT IS VERY HARD TO GO
AGAINST BECKY LYNCH.
SHE HAS BEEN THE MAN FOR SOME
TIME NOW.
BUT SHAYNA BASLER IS THE
WILDCARD.
SHE IS THE QUEEN OF SPADES.
COMING IN, DID YOU SEE THE?
-- DID YOU SEE THE SWAG?
THERE IS NOT ONE OUNCE OF FEAR.
BOOKER T: SHAYNA BASZLER, SHE
WAS SWEATING WHEN SHE WALKED IN.
SHE HAS ALREADY GOT A SWEAT ON.
I LIKE SHAYNA BASZLER.
CHARLY: I LIKE SHAYNA BASZLER.
JONATHAN: YOU CANNOT FAKE SWAG.
SHAYNA, BAYLEY, BECKY LYNCH
TONIGHT, SHOULD BE INCREDIBLE.

BYRON: THE EMOTIONAL STATE OF
LIO RUSH, YOU HAVE SEEN THIS
FIRSTHAND, HIS ISSUES WITH ANGEL
GARZA THAT HAVE BECOME PERSONAL
INVOLVING RUSH'S WIFE.
AIDEN: LIO BROUGHT HIS WIFE TO
THAT MATCHUP.
ANGEL GARZA HAS GOT TO BE IN THE
HEAD OF THE CHAMPION AND MAYBE
THAT IS WHY HE FELT HE COULD
TAKE ON TWO GUYS AT ONCE.
BYRON: I TALKED WITH LIO EARLIER
ON AND HE SAID HE DID NOT HAVE A
PERSONAL ISSUE.
WAIT A MINUTE.
AIDEN: NOT TOO HAPPY ABOUT THAT
INTENT.
BYRON: YOU HAVE TO HAVE YOUR

ISSUE WHEN HE TOOK A SUCKER
PUNCHED ANGEL GARZA LAST NIGHT

NOW, TOZAWA GETS CAUGHT BY

BUT GUESS WHO IS PROUD OF THAT
CRUISERWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP?
BYRON: ATHLETICISM DISPLAYED BY
RUSH, WHO GETS CAUGHT.
VERY SIMILAR TO THE SHOT WE SAW
LIO RUSH DELIVER TO ANGEL GARZA
LAST NIGHT.
AIDEN: THEN CHEAP SHOT.
GOOD THING ANGEL GARZA'S FACE IS
INSURED.
BYRON: KALISTO TAKEN OUT NOW.
TOZAWA ISOLATED WITH THE
CHAMPION.
AIDEN: THAT MUST MEAN THAT ANGEL
GARZA IS IN THE HEAD OF THE
CHAMPION.
BYRON: OPPORTUNITY FOR TOZAWA TO
REGAIN THE TITLE.
AIDEN: ALMOST BUT SOMEHOW THE
MAN OF THE HOUR STAYS THE CHAMP
OF THE HOUR FOR A LITTLE WHILE
LONGER.
BYRON: HOW ABOUT THE SENSE OF
URGENCY KNOWING THAT YOU HAVE
ONE MAN OUT RIGHT NOW, YOU HAVE
LIO RUSH ISOLATED, YOU HAVE TO

ALL THREE SUPERSTARS ON THE TOP
ROPE.
OH!

AIDEN: LIO RUSH, STILL YOUR NXT
CRUISERWEIGHT CHAMPION.
BYRON: LIO RUSH FIGHTING OFF THE
EMOTIONS, THE PERSONAL
DISTRACTIONS, TO COME OUT HERE
AND NOT ONLY PUT NXT ON THE
BOARD BUT SUCCESSFULLY RETAIN
THE CRUISERWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP.
AIDEN: RIGHT HERE, KALISTO
THOUGHT HE HAD THAT SALIDA DEL
SOL LOCKED IN BUT OUT OF

FINAL HOUR.
BYRON: INCREDIBLE IMPACT BY LIO
RUSH.
AIDEN: THIS VICTORY HAS GOT TO

HOUR.
>> WE HAVE SEEN TWO OF THE
HIGHEST WE HAVE SEEN IN THE
HISTORY OF THE WWE.
STILL TO COME LATER TONIGHT,
CHAMPION VERSUS CHAMPION VERSUS
CHAMPION IT AJ, SHINSUKE,
STRONG.
WHAT THESE THREE WILL BRING TO
THE TABLE, CERTAINLY THEY ALL
WANT TO SHOW UP, BUT TO PUT
THESE THREE AND A MATCH TOGETHER
AM DO YOU EXPECT?
BOOKER T: SHINSUKE NAKAMURA, HE
HAS THAT PIECE OF GOLD WRAPPED
AROUND HIS RACE -- AROUND HIS
WAIST.
HE IS JUST ONE OF THOSE UNIQUE
TALENTS.
HIS WAIT JUST ONE MINUTE.
THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE.
THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE.
HEY.
YOU ARE NOT GOING TO TALK ABOUT
A MATCH THAT IS A POTENTIAL
MATCH OF THE YEAR CANDIDATE,
SHINSUKE NAKAMURA VERSUS AJ
STYLES VERSUS RODERICK STRONG.
YOU PLAY LITTLE BIT OF RESPECT
WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT THIS MATCH.
BOOKER T: WHAT I JUST SAID --
CHRISTIAN: YOU DON'T REALIZE THE
ARTICLE -- THE LEVEL OF
ARTISTRY.
SHINSUKE NAKAMURA, WE ARE
TALKING ABOUT AN ARTIST.
YOU DON'T JUST CALL HIM THE
ARTIST, HE IS AN ARTIST.
YOU NEED TO RESPECT THAT.
BOOKER T: WHAT ARE YOU TALKING
ABOUT?
I DO RESPECT THAT.
>> IF BOOKER T DOESN'T GET IT,
WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE US TO GET?
>> NOT JUST CALL HIM AN ARTIST,
TO TRULY UNDERSTAND THE CALIBER
OF SUPERSTAR, THE
ONCE-IN-A-LIFETIME GENERATIONAL
PERFORMER THAT SHINSUKE NAKAMURA
IS, AND THAT HE HAS ALIGNED WITH
SAMI ZAYN.
BOOKER T: BEFORE YOU INTERRUPT
ME, THAT IS WHAT I WAS GOING TO
SAY.
>> COME ON.
>> YOU ARE A REALLY SMART GUY,
WE KNOW THAT.
YOU HAVE GOT TO HAVE THE UTMOST
RESPECT FOR THE OTHER GUYS IN
THE RING.
CHARLY: THREE CHAMPIONS, ONE
RING.
>> I RESPECT THEM ON A CERTAIN
LEVEL WITH COMPETITORS.
AJ STYLES IS A TREMENDOUS
COMPETITOR.
RODERICK STRONG IS A TREMENDOUS
COMPETITOR.
I WOULD NOT GO SO FAR AS TO CALL
THEM ARTISTS OR INTELLECTUALS BY
ANY MEANS.
DO YOU UNDERSTAND?
CHRISTIAN: I HAVE BEEN IN A FEW
MATCHES OF THE YEAR MYSELF.
YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT NOT COME
OR A, WHAT MAKES HIM AN ARTIST
ABOVE WHAT AJ STYLES OR --
TALKING ABOUT SHINSUKE NAKAMURA,
WHAT MAKES HIM AN ARTIST ABOVE
WHAT AJ STYLES ARE RODERICK
STRONG IS?
SAMI: IT IS EITHER SOMETHING YOU
GET OR YOU DON'T.
IT IS AN INTANGIBLE QUALITY, A
LEVEL OF INTELLECTUALISM, A
POETRY BEHIND IT.
YOU ARE JUST REPEATING TAGLINES,
BOOKER, CALLING HIM THE
ROCKSTAR, THE ARTIST.
THESE ARE NOT JUST TAGLINES.
BOOKER T: I DID NOT CALL HIM THE
ROCKSTAR.
CHARLY: IT DOES SEEM LIKE YOU
ARE UNDERESTIMATING HIS
OPPONENTS.
SAMI: I THINK YOU ARE
UNDERESTIMATING SHINSUKE
NAKAMURA, HOW GREAT THIS MATCH
IS GOING TO BE.
I CAN ONLY TAKE SO MUCH
DISRESPECT AND I AM SITTING OUT
HERE, YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT
EVERYBODY ELSE, AND YOU ARE NOT
GIVING THIS MATCH THE PROPER
IMPORTANCE.
>> WE WERE GETTING READY TO DO
THAT.
SAMI: YOU ARE ALWAYS GETTING
READY.
WE ARE JUST ABOUT TO SAY THAT.
I AM HERE TO MAKE SURE YOU DO
YOUR JOB PROPERLY.
CHRISTIAN: WHAT MAKES YOU SO
SURE THAT NAKAMURA WILL COME OUT
ON TOP?
GENERATIONAL TALENT, YOU COULD
AIM ABOUT AJ STYLES.
WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION.
NAKAMURA HAS NEVER BEEN A WORLD
HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION.
SAMI: THERE IS ONE HUGE
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SHINSUKE
NAKAMURA AND AJ STYLES AND
RODERICK STRONG.
SHINSUKE NAKAMURA HAS SAMI ZAYN
IN HIS CORNER.
TWO GENERATIONAL PERFORMERS.
>> THERE YOU GO.
BOOKER T: CHUCK D HAD FLAVOR
FLAV.
[LAUGHTER]
>> DO YOU KNOW WHO FLAVOR FLAV
IS?
SAMI: I KNOW WHO FLAVOR FLAV IS.
DON'T COME AT ME LIKE I HAVE NO
CREDIBILITY.
I KNOW THE HIP-HOP GAME, ALL
RIGHT.
PUBLIC ENEMY, PLEASE.
IN THE PAST, WHEN IT COMES TO
ALL THAT STUFF, AJ STYLES AND
NAKAMURA, THAT WENT AJ STYLES
WAY.
BUT THAT WAS BEFORE HE ALIGNED
WITH SAMI ZAYN.
NOW HE IS THINKING CLEARLY,
SEEING THINGS CLEARLY,
PERFORMING BETTER THAN EVER.
I PROMISE YOU, TONIGHT, YOU WILL
SEE THE VERY BEST OF SHINSUKE
NAKAMURA.
BOOKER T: FINISH THAT OFF WITH,
YEAH BOY!
JONATHAN: ALL SAMI ZAYN NEEDS TO
DO IS ASK AND HE CAN COME ON THE
SHOW.
PUTTING MORE TO COME HERE ON THE
KICKOFF SHOW.

TEAM TECHNICIANS THIS BUSINESS

WHAT DID YOU THINK OF THAT
MATCH?
>> THREE TEAMS INVOLVED.
THEY ARE GOING TO STEAL THE
SHOW.
IS IT POSSIBLE TO STEAL THE SHOW
THIS EARLY?
A TAG TEAM MATCH LIKE THIS, THE
THREE TEAMS INVOLVED, IT WILL BE
INTERESTING.

ARE ON A TEAR RIGHT NOW.
THEY SEEM UNBEATABLE.
I AM GLAD I AM SITTING BEHIND A
DESK AT THIS POINT.
I AM NO LONGER A TAG TEAM
WRESTLER.
>> YOU DON'T WANT TO BE PART OF
THAT SPEAR BY BIG E?
IS THAT WHAT YOU ARE TRYING TO
SAY?
>> I DEFINITELY DON'T.
>> BOOKER T, IT IS ALWAYS
DIFFICULT WHEN YOU ARE ON THE
KICKOFF SHOW NOT TO SAY TO
EVERYBODY ELSE WE WILL JUST SET
IT UP FOR YOU.
THAT'S THREE TEAMS THAT DON'T
CARE ABOUT ANYONE ELSE.
>> NORMALLY, YOU WANT TO SET THE
TONE, BUT IT IS DIFFERENT NOW IN
2019.
THESE YOUNG GUYS ARE ALL ABOUT
COMING OUT.
GIVING THEM EVERYTHING THEY
WANT.
THAT IS AWESOME.
VIKING RAIDERS, ERIK AND I
VAR, COULD NOT HAVE BEEN A
BETTER MATCH, BETTER
PERFORMANCE.
I SEE NOTHING BUT GREAT THINGS
HAPPENING.
TWO BIG GUYS.
>> YOU SAID IT IS DIFFERENT IN
2019.
I AGREE WITH YOU.
EVERYONE SEEMINGLY GOES OUT
THERE WITH A CHIP ON THEIR
SHOULDER.
THEY WANT TO BE THE BEST.
THAT IS THE ATTITUDE SHOULD GO
OUT THERE WITH.
YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO BE LIKE NO
ONE CAN FOLLOW-UP WHAT I JUST
DID.
BOOKER T: THOSE GUYS WERE ON A
ROLL BUT IT GOES TO SHOW YOU
THAT THOSE GUYS ARE DEALING WITH
MORE THAN JUST TONIGHT.
BUT COMPOUNDING SCHEDULE THAT
THESE GUYS HAVE HAD OVER THE
LAST MONTH IS UNBELIEVABLE.
>> NO DOUBT.
>> I AM HAPPY TO SAY PERSONALLY
THAT IT IS ALL GOING IN ON AN
EVEN PLAYING FIELD.
NO ONE HAS GOTTEN ADVANTAGE OVER
EACH OTHER.
LET'S SEE WHAT THESE SUPERSTARS
ARE MADE OF, SURVIVOR SERIES.

STRUGGLE KIND OF DANIEL BRYAN
HAS GOING ON WITH HIMSELF, AND
HERE IS THE THING.
WE SEE THE FIEND DOING THIS, THE
YES MOVEMENT WAS ONE OF THE
BIGGEST THINGS IN THE HISTORY OF
THE WWE.
IT PROPELLED DANIEL BRYAN TO THE
MAIN EVENT OF WRESTLEMANIA TO
BEING A LEGIT MAIN EVENTER.
SOMETHING LIKE THAT, YOU CANNOT
SAY I AM GOING TO DO THAT AGAIN.
A MOVEMENT HAS TO BE ORGANIC.
YOU CANNOT JUST TELL ME THAT.
DOES HE WANT TO GO BACK IN THE
PAST?
HE TAKES BEING THE PLANET'S
CHAMPION VERY SERIOUSLY AND HE
HAS THAT CONFLICT.
DOES HE WANT TO BE THE YES GUY?
THE PLANET'S CHAMPION?
I AM WEARING HEMP SOCKS AND MY
FEET FEEL FANTASTIC.
[LAUGHTER]
CHRISTIAN: I THINK THAT IS WHERE
HIS INTERNAL STRUGGLE LIES.
HOW CAN YOU MOVE FORWARD -- HOW
CAN HE MOVE FORWARD IF HE KEEPS
GOING BACK TO THE PAST, KIND OF
GIVING THIS YES, YES, YES THAT
THE WWE UNIVERSE SEEMINGLY
ALWAYS WANTS?
>> I WILL TAG THAT IN WITH THE
FIEND.
TALK ABOUT ORGANIC.
HAS HIS DESCRIPTION, HIS
PERSONALITY, WHAT HE HAS BEEN
DOING THE LAST SEVERAL MONTHS
BEEN ORGANIC OR COMPLETELY
CALCULATED?
BOOKER T: BRAY WYATT HAS BEEN
TRYING TO GET THE MASSES --
THE POWER FLIES.
HE HAS DONE A GREAT JOB, BUT I
DO THINK THE ONE GUY, DANIEL
BRYAN, IS UNIQUE.
HE IS DIFFERENT THAN ANY GUY IN
THAT LOCKER ROOM, AND I SAID WHO
IS GOING TO BE THE GUY TO TAKE
BRAY WYATT DOWN?
WHO IS GOING TO BE THE GUY TO
TAKE THE FIEND DOWN?
I LOOK AT DANIEL BRYAN.
HE IS A GUY WHO DON'T MIND
COMING OUT HERE AND STAYING OUT
HERE ALL NIGHT LONG NO MATTER
HOW LONG IT TAKES TO GET THE JOB
DONE.
30 MINUTES, YOU DON'T MIND.
IF IT TAKE AN HOUR, YOU DON'T
MIND.
DANIEL BRYAN, IF THERE IS
ANYBODY IN THE LOCKER ROOM WHO
CAN GIVE THE FEED THE TEST HE IS
LOOKING FOR, IT IS GONG TO BE
MY BOY, DANIEL BRYAN.
CHARLY: HIS DETERMINATION
GOING TO BE ENOUGH?
WE ARE TALKING ABOUT THE FIEND
BRAY WYATT.
I DON'T EVEN KNOW IF IT IS
HUMAN.
BOOKER T: THE MOVIE JAWS, YOU
HAVE TO DRAW HIM IN AND DROWN
HIM.
TAKE HIM INTO DEEP WATERS.
CHARLY: ALL RIGHT.
[LAUGHTER]
>> WE WILL SEE HOW DEEP THOSE
WATERS ARE LATER TONIGHT.
CHARLY: SURVIVOR SERIES IS GOING
TO BE ONE HELL OF A NIGHT.
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, THERE'S
ONLY ONE PLACE AND ONE PLACE
ONLY TO CATCH ALL OF THE ACTION.
THAT IS ON THE WWE NETWORK.
RIGHT NOW, YOU DO NOT HAVE MUCH
TIME, LESS THAN 10 MINUTES.
GO TO WWENETWORK.COM AND SIGN UP
BECAUSE SURVIVOR SERIES IS FREE
FOR NEW SURVIVORS.
IT DOES NOT STOP THERE.
NEXT MONTH, TLC IS ALSO FREE FOR
NEW SUBSCRIBERS.
LET'S TALK ABOUT TONIGHT.
>> WE WILL BE IN MINNEAPOLIS FOR
TLC.
REY MYSTERIO, BROCK LESNAR,
NO-HOLDS-BARRED, NO
DISQUALIFICATIONS.
IT IS ABOUT HIS FAMILY.
HE HAD HIS SON BRUTALLY
ATTACKED.
TONIGHT, A CHANCE TO DO YET
ANOTHER REMARKABLE THING IN HIS
CAREER, AND THAT IS THE BEAST
RIGHT HERE IN CHICAGO -- BEAT
THE BEAST RIGHT HERE IN CHICAGO.
CHARLY: I AM SO STOKED FOR THIS
MATCH.
IT CAN ONLY BE DESCRIBED AS
BADASS.
BECKY LYNCH, BAYLEY, AND SHAYNA
BASZLER ARE OUT TO PROVE WHO
EXACTLY IS THE BADDEST.
>> THE NXT BRAND TAKES CENTER
STAGE IN THIS ONE.
THE CHAMPION, ADAM COLE, TAKES
ON PETE DUNNE.
24 HOURS AGO, PETE DUNNE WON A
TRIPLE THREAT MATCH TO EARN THIS
OPPORTUNITY.
IT WOULD BE AN INCREDIBLE
WEEKEND.
THE CHICAGO TWO-STEP TO BEAT
ADAM COLE HERE TONIGHT.
CHARLY: I DON'T KNOW HOW TO DO
THE CHICAGO TWO-STEP.
WE WILL TALK ABOUT THIS NEXT
MATCH, A TRIPLE THREAT BATTLE
BETWEEN THREE ULTRA-TALENTED
COMPETITORS.
A.J. STYLES AND SHINSUKE
NAKAMURA IN THE NORTH AMERICAN
CHAMPION -- AND RODERICK STRONG.
ALL THREE OF THESE MEN LOOKING
TO DECIMATE OTHER.
>> DON'T FORGET, WE HAVE THE
TRADITIONAL SURVIVOR SERIES
FIVE-MEMBER ELIMINATION MATCHES.
AND SMACKDOWN COMING INTO
TONIGHT.
-- RAW AND SMACKDOWN COMING INTO
TONIGHT.
SHAWN MICHAELS GAVE US THE FIVE
MEMBERS OF NXT.
A LOT OF THEM HAD A BRUTAL NIGHT
AT WARGAMES.
HOW MUCH WILL THEY HAVE LEFT
HERE TONIGHT FOR THIS TIME
MATCH?
CHARLY: WE WILL FIND OUT WHAT
TYPE OF CONDITION THEY ARE IN
AND WE WILL FIND OUT WHICH BRAND
HAS THE BEST WOMEN'S DIVISION.
THE FIRST EVER FIVE WOMAN
SURVIVOR SERIES ELIMINATION
MATCH BETWEEN RAW, SMACKDOWN,
AND NXT WILL ANSWER THAT VERY
QUESTION.
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, THAT MATCH
WILL BE KICKING OFF SURVIVOR
SERIES.
>> THIS HAS KIND OF BEEN THE
YEAR FOR THE WOMEN'S REVOLUTION.
ANSWER BECKY LYNCH.
AND -- AND FOR BECKY LYNCH AND
BAYLEY.
SHAYNA BASZLER FINDS HERSELF
TONIGHT IN THE MAIN EVENT AS FAR
AS A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE
CONCERNED, SO BOOKER T, WE ONLY
HAVE A COUPLE MINUTES LEFT.
THE WOMEN'S MATCH IS GOING TO
KICK OFF THE SHOW.
HOW IMPORTANT IS IT FOR EACH
BRAND TO GET OFF TO A GOOD START
ON SURVIVOR SERIES?
BOOKER T: TALK ABOUT SHAYNA
BASZLER BEING IN THIS
ENVIRONMENT.
SHE WILL BE VERY COMFORTABLE.
SHE IS LOOKING TO COME OUT HERE
AND MAKE A NAME FOR HERSELF.
I ALWAYS SAY A MOMENT IS
SOMETHING THAT YOU CANNOT GET
BACK, SO I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO
SEEING THE LADIES COME OUT HERE
TO TEAR THE HOUSE DOWN.
>> SHAYNA BASZLER HAS AN AURA
ABOUT HER LIKE BROCK LESNAR.
WHEN HE WALKS INTO A ROOM,
THINGS GET UNCOMFORTABLE QUICK.
AND SHAYNA HAS THAT SAME QUALITY
ABOUT HER.
THERE IS SOMETHING THAT FEELS
NOT QUITE RIGHT.
SHE IS DANGEROUS AND SHE IS
GOING TO PROVE HERSELF HERE
TONIGHT.
I GUARANTEE THAT.
CHARLY: WHEN I SAT DOWN WITH
BECKY LYNCH A FEW WEEKS AGO, SHE
SAT DOWN AND MADE HER PRESENCE
FELT.
I KNEW FROM THAT VERY MOMENT SHE
WAS OUT TO MAKE A STATEMENT AND
I THINK SHE IS GOING TO DO THAT
TONIGHT.
>> LETS REMEMBER BASLER AND HER
ENTIRE POSSE AND RONDA ROUSEY
ALL CAME TOGETHER.
YOU CANNOT FORGET ABOUT RONDA
 EVEN THOUGH SHE IS NOT
HERE.
HER INFLUENCE IS FELT.
BOOKER T: WHEN STONE COLD OPENED
UP A CAN OF --
I MEAN, RONDA ROUSEY DID IT.
I THINK SHAYNA BASZLER WALKS IN
THAT SAME --
>> SHE WOULD NOT MIND GETTING A
LITTLE BIT OF REVENGE FOR HER
FRIEND.
CHARLY: I THINK THERE'S GOING TO
BE A LOT OF REVENGE HAPPENING
TONIGHT.
>> THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
WE ARE JUST ABOUT SET.
SURVIVOR SERIES IS ONE OF THE
ICONIC KNIGHTS OF THE ENTIRE
YEAR.
BUT TONIGHT, FOR THE FIRST TIME
EVER, THE UPSTART NXT BRAND,
THEY HAVE FORCED THEIR WAY INTO
THE PARTY.
IT IS ABOUT FIGURING OUT A WAY
TO SHINE THE LIGHT ON YOURSELF
BUT UNDERSTAND THE BIGGER
PICTURE.
IT IS TIME TO PUT UP OR SHUT UP.
SURVIVOR SERIES IS NEXT, AND WE
KICK THINGS OFF WITH THE
TRADITIONAL ELIMINATION SURVIVOR
SERIES WOMEN'S MATCH FOR THE
FIRST TIME.
ENJOY.
