Team Raw (The New Day (Big E and/or Kofi Kingston and/or Xavier Woods), Sheamus and Cesaro, Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson, Enzo Amore and Big Cass and The Shining Stars (Primo and Epico)) vs. Team SmackDown Live (Heath Slater and Rhyno, The Hype Bros (Zack Ryder and Mojo Rawley), American Alpha (Jason Jordan and Chad Gable), The Usos (Jimmy and Jey Uso) and Breezango (Tyler Breeze and Fandango)) (10–on–10 Traditional Survivor Series Tag Team Elimination Match)
Winners: Team Raw (the last survivors were Sheamus and Cesaro)!
Highlights: Enzo and Cass showed love to Toronto’s Drake with some clever ad-libs during their pre-match promo. The New Day provided some spirited words for their team as soon as they made their entrance. Once the bell rang, Fandango and Breeze handed out fashion violations to every member in the ring. He paid for his error after getting eliminated by The New Day’s finisher. Then Kofi had his team get forced out after an Uso Superkick. Breeze & Fandango and The New Day got eliminated early. The match continued as Ryder and Rawley got the better of Epico. Rawley’s over the top antics paid off with a nice ear clap to Epico. Epico saved himself after dropkicking Rawley’s right into his leg. Rawley got beat down members of The Club for a bit, but he tagged in Ryder just in time to get the help he needed to escape. Ryder wiped out both men with his comeback offense. Anderson and Gallows ended up getting rid of The Hype Bros. with their Magic Killer finisher to Ryder.
American Alpha then entered the fray and got in some good moves on Gallows and other assorted members. They soon got overwhelmed and began getting beat down by members of the Shining Stars. Epico used his slick suplex combination to break down Gable even more. Suddenly, Jordan and Gable used a tag team finishing top rope bulldog maneuver to get rid of the Shining Stars. Mayhem ensued as every team began brawling inside the ring. Enzo and Cass pulled off a whole bunch of crowd pleasing moves, which was then followed up by several other members pulling off slick slick moves of their own. This crazy sequence ended after Gable got catapulted onto everyone outside the ring. Jordan got cut down with another Magic Killer, which led to the elimination of American Alpha.
SmackDown Live’s tag team champions and The Usos were left to handle the rest of Team Raw. Slater looked impressive for a while, but Gallows and Anderson ended up cutting him off. After Gallows accidentally bumped into Enzo, Rhyno tagged himself in and got rid of The Club with a Gore to Gallows. Then The Usos used a Superkick/Superfly Splash combo to get rid of Enzo and Cass. Sheamus brutalized both twins for a while when he entered the match, but eventually The Usos responded with some big moves of their own. Sheamus and Cesaro began fighting tooth and nail to get the win for their team as they shared near fall exchanges and comeback offense with The Usos. Cesaro even broke out a 619 to the shock of everyone! Cesaro used a big swing and almost locked in a Sharpshooter to get the win over The Usos, but his submission hold got broken up after he got kicked in his leg. Cesaro got locked into a Tequila Sunrise, but he broke out and locked the Sharpshooter back in. Sheamus used his Brogue Kick to keep things under control, which led into Cesaro getting the submission win for his team.
The Miz (c) (with Maryse) vs. Sami Zayn (WWE Intercontinental Championship; if Zayn wins, the title will transfer to Raw)
Winner: And still the WWE Intercontinental Champion, The Miz!
Highlights: After the big match intros, Miz and Zayn locked up. Zayn’s swiftness caught Miz off guard at several moments and even caused Miz to exit to the outside. Zayn pulled off a sweet moonsault off the security barrier, but Miz got back to his feet and began targeting Zayn’s leg. Zayn used some top rope punches once he regained control, but Miz cut him off before he could finish and continued breaking down Zayn’s injured leg. After some grueling leg work, Zayn finally got back to his feet and landed a sick clothesline on Miz. Zayn followed that up with a nice leap onto the IC Champ over the top rope. Zayn went right into his comeback offense as soon as Miz crawled back into the ring. Zayn went for his Blue Thunder Bomb, but Miz flipped out of it, fought to lock on another hold and ended up DDT-ing Zayn after a brief struggle.
Miz decided to taunt Daniel Bryan and use his corner running dropkick on Zayn. Miz signaled for a big top rope move, but Zayn spun behind him and landed his big Blue Thunder Bomb. Zayn looked to land his Helluva Kick, but his injured leg prevented him from running at full speed. Zayn’s big Exploder Suplex into the corner worked though, but Zayn was still unable to follow it up with his finisher. Miz took note of this and locked on his Figure Four Leglock. Zayn struggled for several moments and he finally reversed the hold right onto The Miz’s legs. Miz reached back into Daniel Bryan’s movelist and used his repeated chest kicks to weaken Zayn. Zayn caught one of his feet and ended up locking him in the Figure Four Leglock. Suddenly, the bell rang and it seemed as if The Miz had tapped. Turns out it was only Maryse. This huge distraction led to Zayn releasing the hold, which led right into Miz rolling up Zayn for the dirty win.
