The C.O.O of the WWE, Triple H, opens the show and spoke of Seth Rollins exceeding expectations as WWE World Heavyweight Champion but then how tragedy hit him when he blew out his knee, therefore is no longer the WWE World Heavyweight Champion. Triple H then brought out the #1 contender, Roman Reigns, to the ring and spoke how the winner of the tournament could face Reigns at Survivor Series for the title. Triple H spoke further how Reigns has everything, but the willingness to do absolute anything to be the man was the reason why Rollins was champion and he wasn't, he told Reigns that to be the man, all he has to do is be his man. Reigns told Triple H to take his offer and shove it, Triple H responded by thanking him for confirming that they made the right decision to go with Rollins and then welcomed him to the back of the line and his match starts right now.

Bray Wyatt is in the ring and speaks of taking the torch from the Undertaker and Kane, and how he used it to burn their ashes and now he owns them. He gave a moments silence for both men and then how it will soon be all over as the apocalypse will be soon, the video of The Undertaker and Kane’s destruction came on-screen before the phenoms “Rest in Peace” resonated through the Manchester Arena. The Undertaker and Kane then came to the stage, standing side-by-side and made their way to the ring to confront Wyatt, the lights then went off and when they appeared, The Wyatt family were surrounding the ring. The brothers of destruction quickly took down The Wyatt Family and despite Strowman thinking he had taken then down, they laid waste to him before double chokeslamming Bray Wyatt.

The entire WWE roster is out on the stage as Lilian Garcia called for a moment of silence to honour the victims of the Paris attacks over the weekend.

The sound of monks chanting is heard, and then the arena lights turn to a hazy purple before druids make their way out before The Undertaker and Kane make their way to the ring. The Undertaker spoke of how he and Kane are the true "army of darkness" and vengeance awaits the Wyatt Family as despite them taking their bodies, no one, no man living or dead can contain the power of the dark side. Kane took the microphone and said that when you try and steal the flames of hell, you will get burnt, and at Survivor Series, they have reserved a special place for Bray Wyatt and his family in the deepest pits of hell. The Undertaker told Wyatt to chose whichever two members of his family he wants to sacrifice, as the brothers of the destruction have already decided their destiny and they will never rest in peace. The Wyatt Family come to the stage, Bray Wyatt spoke of how 25 years of The Undertaker's reign is long enough and how it is time for a new army of darkness to emerge, he says that the Brothers of destruction no longer dictate when wolves howl or lightening strikes, and at Survivor Series they will be remembered as the brothers he destroyed.

We go back to this past July when Charlotte debuted in light of tonight's contract signing.

The New Day make their entrance to the ring and say that the only anniversary that people should be talking about is the anniversary of the most entertaining group in WWE history – The New Day. They speak of not being invited to do an interview on ESPN like the brothers of destruction or even the Uso’s, then mock how the last time the Uso’s got in to the ring with them that Jey Uso got injured and they continued to mock it.

4# The New Day bt. The Usos & Ryback Via DQ in a six man tag team match

BACKSTAGE – After speaking with Kevin Owens earlier in the night, Triple H comes in to Cesaro’s locker room and tells Cesaro how great he is and needs that little bit of something but it might be time for Cesaro to grab the brass ring, if Cesaro is willing to do anything, then maybe he can grab that brass ring and maybe its time for Cesaro to be the man.

Michael Cole is in the ring for the WWE Divas Championship contract signing between Charlotte and Paige, Cole tries to figure out what happened to their friendship but Paige claimed there are no friendships when you are a true champion, she said she wanted to teach that to Charlotte and will do so this Sunday when she takes back the Divas title. Charlotte wanted to know why Paige got so bitter and how she wanted to be like Paige, Charlotte mentioned her late-brother and spoke of Paige being there for her at that time, Paige said it didn’t matter what she said or thought as she was using her from day one, Charlotte told her she sucked at it because she was the one who was Divas Champion. Charlotte spoke of it being about who has your back, and spoke of PCB changing the Divas division before Paige’s selfish ways got in the way, Charlotte said she won’t be champion forever but when she loses it, it wont be this Sunday or to someone like Paige. Paige called her naïve, and even told Ric Flair to come to the ring before referring to him as an “old fart”, Charlotte warned Paige before Paige spoke of how Charlotte’s brother didn’t have any fight in him, charlotte began to attack Paige before both divas were separated ahead of this Sunday.

The lights go out and when they come back on, Bray Wyatt accepted this little challenge from them before warning them for inviting the devil. The light's go out, and when they come on, Strowman, Rowan and Harper were staring down at the Dudleyz but Bubba revealed they might have the number advantage over the two of them, but they also have family members before Tommy Dreamer walks out with a trash can filled with weapons.

She continued to go on how she felt when her husband was brutally taken down by Roman Reigns, she said he not only took down her husband, he attacked the COO of the WWE and his boss, then claims she left him with no other choice and before she could finish her sentence, Roman Reigns came to the ring. Despite multiple grievances aired by one of the principal owners of the WWE, Reigns took the situation very lightly by goading her to fire him and despite multiple insults from both with Stephanie calling Roman a coward and Roman saying her whole family is a disgrace, a furious Stephanie McMahon slapped Reigns multiple times before announcing she wasn't going to fire him because her husband asked her not to, but someone is on his way to the arena who just might fire him and that man is the chairman of the WWE, Vincent Kennedy McMahon.
