The Miz and John Morrison open the show with Miz TV. Their guests are The New Day, who will team with Drew McIntyre to take on The Miz, Morrison and Randy Orton in a six-man tag match tonight.

The Miz says “big things” are happening tonight. He hypes up Miz and Mrs, as well as the tag match. Before Miz can welcome The New Day, Orton interrupts and takes the mic.

Orton isn’t pleased that he’s been put in a match tonight, because there’s a chance for Miz to cash in his Money in the Bank. He thinks Miz used his sway with the USA Network to make the match. Orton also throws shots at Morrison, telling him he “packed his bags and left for the minor leagues.” Orton then turns his back and dares Miz to take the WWE title, dropping it on the ground in frustration.

Miz tells Orton to stop making everything about him. He says that if Miz and Morrison beat The New Day tonight, they may be in line for a tag team title shot.

The New Day then interrupt. They joke that they’re just here to be entertained by Miz, Morrison and Orton’s bickering. Orton has had enough and RKO’s Kofi. Things have totally broken down as Drew McIntyre enters. The Miz hits Drew with his briefcase and then Drew gets thrown to Orton, who lands an RKO. Miz, Morrison and Orton leave the ring together right after. End of segment, commercial break.

Back live, Elias is in the ring. He says he was jolted awake this week by a premonition, which saw him beat Riddle and Jeff Hardy to earn a spot on Team RAW. He says he needs to win this match, because things haven’t gone all that well over the last few weeks.

Elias is dedicating his win tonight to all of his fans around the world who “understand his greatness.” He gets ready to sing, but before starting, braces for someone to interrupt. It doesn’t happen, so he starts his song. Not even four seconds later, Jeff Hardy interrupts for his entrance. Riddle then enters.

Backstage, AJ Styles and Adam Pearce have made some kind of deal. He’s then asked about Riddle being a part of Team RAW. Styles is happy, saying Riddle is the piece that has been missing.

Sheamus interrupts and he’s not happy. He says Riddle is an “obnoxious punk.” He has no problem kicking Riddle’s head off his shoulders. Styles says that’s not the right attitude, and suggests that he and Sheamus round the team up.

Sheamus is then asked how Styles is doing as captain. He says Styles isn’t his captain, Braun Strowman enters and repeats the same line. There’s dissension! Commercial break.

Back live we get a promo from RETRIBUTION’S Mustafa Ali. He faces Ricochet tonight. Ali says Ricochet is a good , honourable man who made a conscious decision to stand alone when he turned down The Hurt Business’ offer.

Ali says that Ricochet is brave, but is still “a damn fool,” as one man can’t change everything. Mia Yim (Reckoning) then says it’s easy to feel alone when you’re misguided. Ali says no mercy was shown to RETRIBUTION, and thus no mercy will be shown to Ricochet. They will not rest until Ricochet is shut down.

Styles starts by apologizing for last week. He says the team was just missing a piece, and it’s been filled by Riddle. Lee interrupts. He says he owes Styles a receipt for hitting him last week. Sheamus then chimes in, reminding Lee that he attacked him. Lee hopes he remembers, in case Sheamus tries to cross him again.

Braun says Sheamus needs to be quiet, because he’s a sore loser. Riddle tells the group to chill. He wants to give everyone sick code names. Styles is skipper, Braun is mongoose, Lee is Bro Lee, and Sheamus is fire face.

Sheamus is not happy with the ginger joke. Riddle says the nickname is because when Sheamus gets angry, his face turns really red, just like right now. Sheamus asks what Riddle’s nickname is, suggesting dopey. Riddle laughs and says that’s correct.

Styles tells the team to focus. He puts over SmackDown’s team, hyping up Jey Uso, Seth Rollins, Kevin Owens and King Corbin. He tells the group that they need to work together as “the best of the best.”

Styles tries to say that he’s captain again, and no one is having it. Styles has resorted to plan B, which he went over with Pearce earlier. It’ll be Sheamus and Braun Strowman against Riddle and Keith Lee, with Styles as the guest ref. The reason for the match, according to Styles, is so that everyone can gain respect for each other. That match is after the break.

MVP says The Hurt Business is going to wreck Woods and Kofi next week, while Lashley will turn Zayn into a rag doll. Lashley says he didn’t hear Zayn running his mouth on SmackDown last week, which is a good thing. The only question is whether or not Lashley will let Zayn leave Survivor Series on his own two feet.

Titus O’Neil interrupts. He reminds the pair that they disrespected him two weeks ago in his proposal to join The Hurt Business. MVP gives Titus an opportunity to walk away, but he refuses. He turns to Lashley and asks what the sense of having the US title is if he doesn’t defend it.
