We are back and the announcers talk about Survivor Series and what they can expect.

We take a look back at Raw with the Raw Rebound and the return of Vince McMahon to television.

Kane is in the ring and he says on Monday night, the Authority made its most difficult decision. With the fate of the Authority in the balance, they needed to figure out how to handle Randy Orton. No one could question Randy’s abilities, it is where his loyalties lie. Randy should be an example because if that is what they do to one of their own, what does that mean for everyone? You are with the Authority or against it. Choose wisely.

Dolph Ziggler was offered an opportunity to have the world. Instead, he chose your admiration, your adulation. Dolph thinks he can survive if he aligns with Team Cena. Let’s see if you can survive tonight against me.

Since there is already one hanging above him, let’s do this in a steel cage.

Kane says that there is an open position in Team Authority. He wants a potential recruit to come out. He has everything that they are looking for.

Cesaro’s music plays and he makes his way to the stage.

Cesaro says that he has shown the ability to survive anyone and anything that the WWE has thrown at him. The battle lines have been drawn and the fate of the WWE Universe lies in balance. If you are looking for someone to join Team Authority who can swing John Cena like a rag doll, Cesaro is your man.

Kane says that he has to be honest because Cesaro was not the superstar he expected out here tonight. If he is content to compete tonight, he can face the person who Kane wanted to talk to.

We are back and it is time for the return of the Peep Show and Christian.

Christian says that when you least expect it, Captain Charisma shows up looking for one . . . more . . . episode of the Peep Show. He says that he sees that he has a lot of Peeps in Albany. He says that he just got back from the set of Haven. He mentions that his episode featuring Edge will air on November 28th right before Smackdown. There is a lot of wild stuff going on. You have the stipulation announced by Vince McMahon in the Team Authority versus Team Cena match at Survivor Series.

Christian takes a quick poll of the crowd for the main event of Survivor Series and the majority feel that Team Cena will win.

Christian says that things are going to be getting chaotic over the next few weeks . . .

Dean Ambrose’s music plays and he appears to have jumped Christian’s cue for him to come to the ring.

We have a video package to show why Dean is not in a gregarious mood tonight.

Christian introduces the man who doesn’t like introductions, Dean Ambrose.

Christian says the last time he saw Dean, he was running with the Shield. He asks Dean what is it like to be Dean Ambrose now.

Dean says that it is a bowl of cherries. He has no friends and there are enemies around each corner.

Christian mentions Bray Wyatt, the man who cost Dean his match at Hell in a Cell. Why did Bray do it?

Dean asks Christian if he knows. Dean says that you usually go after the person who has something that you want, but Dean says that he has nothing. There is no title for Bray to take from him. What does he want? Dean says that he thinks Bray likes to play mind games. The people who cannot handle the volume being turned up, so Bray preys on weak minded people.

Dean says that his mind is a dangerous place to be. Nobody knows him. Dean says that he does this because it is fun. He likes danger, fighting, adrenaline, riding on the edge of the lightning bolt. He likes the thrill of pulling himself up from the mat spitting blood and teeth and throwing more punches. He is not scared of going down any dark alleys with Bray Wyatt.

Bray Wyatt’s screen saver shows up and his music plays. Wyatt makes his way onto the stage with his smoking lantern.

Bray sits down in his conveniently placed rocking chair.

Bray says that Dean has nothing to fear because he has nothing to lose. Bray says that there was a time when Dean had something to fight for. A time when you had safety and security with the Shield. Bray laughs and he asks what happened. What happened? That love was ripped from you and that security was taken away. It has left you like a fish out of water, gasping for air.

He asks Dean if he knows who he is and what it is that he does? He says that he heals. He heeled Erick Rowan and Luke Harper. He can heal Dean Ambrose too. All Dean has to do is take his hand and he can make it all go away. He knows that salvation is not for everyone. He once offered his hand to Daniel Bryan. Daniel defied him. Now he is nowhere to be seen. Dean, you can be different. He says that he can fix him. What does Dean have to lose? Your own father turned his back on you.

Does he still send you postcards from prison? He wants Dean to tell him he is wrong and prove him wrong.

Ambrose goes up the ramp and the lights go out and the Wyatt screen saver appears. When the lights come back on, Bray is not on the stage. Dean looks at the stage and Bray is behind Dean. Bray tells Dean to run and the screen saver goes up again and the lights go out one more time.

Bray is gone, but you can still hear his laugh.

We go to commercial.

We are back and in case you missed on Monday night after Raw, we take a look at the closing moments of the United States Title match between Rusev and Sheamus.

Michael Cole wonders who can beat Rusev and will he be a part of Team Authority?

We take a look back at the situation between Brie Bella and AJ Lee after Brie defeated Emma.

Renee Young is in the interview area with AJ Lee. Renee asks AJ about what happened on Raw. AJ says that she knows it was Brie who slapped her, but it was her evil twin sister who was pulling the strings. It is because she is the number one contender.

Brie comes out and she wants to apologize, but AJ says that no apologies are necessary and she knows that Nikki will do anything to get the title.

Nikki attacks AJ from behind and then she tells ‘CinderBella’ nice job, but it did not sound like she meant it. She tells Brie to be more sincere the next time.

We go to commercial.

We are back and we see footage earlier tonight when Tyson was talking to Summer and Layla about beating Sheamus. Natalya stops by and she says that she has been trying to contact Tyson, but Tyson says that he doesn’t have his phone with him. Summer tells Natalya that they were talking about Tyson’s win over Sheamus on Raw.

Natalya tells Summer not to put her nose where it doesn’t belong. Summer asks Natalya if she doesn’t appreciate Tyson’s win.

Natalya walks away and Tyson follows.

Tyson is at the announce table to do commentary and ignore inappropriate comments from Michael Cole.

Match Number Four: Natalya (with Tyson Kidd) versus Summer Rae (with Layla El)

Summer pie faces Natalya and then she runs away from Natalya. Summer with a spin kick for a near fall. Summer with a body scissors. Natalya with forearms but Summer with a guillotine but Natalya with a slam. Summer has a kick blocked and Natalya sends her face first into the mat. Natalya runs over Summer’s back and she hits a drop kick followed by a discus clothesline. Tyson gets up from his seat at the announce table to provide his wife with moral support.

We are back and we are told that next week on Raw, John Cena will face Ryback.

Dolph says that he wants the Authority out and if he has to be put into a steel cage against a monster, it doesn’t matter. He will stand up for himself.

Hunter stops by and he says that he did not expect to see Dolph so game for battle tonight after the beating he took on Monday at the hands of Seth Rollins. At least he had Randy Orton to save him, but Randy may not be back. John Cena isn’t here to save him tonight. Who will save Ziggler tonight? Is it time for Ziggler to save himself? Hunter tells Dolph it is not too late. He can still change his mind.

Hunter asks Renee if she saw what happened to Randy Orton. Hunter says that if that could happen to Randy Orton, what could happen to Dolph Ziggler?

Michael Cole is on the stage and he introduces Chris Meek from Soldier Socks, Lisa Hughes from Ekso Bionics, and Sergeant Dan Rose.

Michael asks Chris about his organization. He says that he started his corporation in 2009 when a friend had someone he knew in the military ask for some personal items. Then he saw the suits from Ekso Bionics and they got behind the funding for it.

We see a video package showing how the Ekso Bionics apparatus works.

Michael asks Dan about how he suffered his injuries. He said he was in Afghanistan and a bomb exploded under his truck. He was paralyzed from the chest down as a result.

Dan gets into the equipment and he walks on the stage.

Michael asks Dan how it felt to walk again. He says that the energy in the room was great. He says that the first time he stood up, he forgot what it was like to look at people at eye level.

We go to commercial.

As Dolph enters the cage, Luke Harper’s eyes appear on the TitanTron. He says everything is shattered. Sometimes he sees things that just ain’t there. But he sees you and he is going to piece himself together with pieces of you.
