Backstage: Triple H & Dean Ambrose
Backstage, we see Triple H when Dean Ambrose entered the room. Hunter said he called him in to congratulate him on becoming the No. 1 contender to the Intercontinental Title. Ambrose didn’t believe that was all. Triple H said that if Roman Reigns doesn’t win his match in under 5:15 then he and Ambrose would both lose their title matches. Hunter said Reigns needs to learn that the choices he makes affect his friends as well.
The Dudley Boyz & The Wyatt Family Segment
The Dudleys stood in the ring where there were four tables leaning against the ropes covered with black cloth. Bubba Ray Dudley spoke about the Wyatt Family leaving them lying on Raw and double chokeslamming him through one of their tables. Bubba said the Wyatts made a name for themselves, but they didn’t get the job done. Bubba said they are ready to fight at any given moment.
Bubba said that by doing what they did, the Wyatt Family put their names on the tables. They pulled the covering off and each table had a Wyatt Family member’s name written on it. D-Von spoke briefly, then Bubba called for the Wyatt Family to settle it on the spot. The Wyatt Family made their entrance.
Bray Wyatt said he is accepting the challenge on behalf of his family. He told them to be careful about inviting the devil into their backyard because he may like it and decide to stay. The Wyatt video flashed and the other Wyatt Family members walked toward the ring. Bubba stopped them and said that they have their family and they have their own family.
Tommy Dreamer made his entrance carrying a trash can filled with weapons. Dreamer joined the Dudleys in the ring. There were some ECW chants. The Dudleys and Dreamer made them back down with kendo sticks.
The Dudley Boyz & Tommy Dreamer vs. The Wyatt Family
The match was once again joined in progress. Maybe Vince McMahon blames the opening bell for the ratings along with anything other than his own creative approach.
The Wyatt Family had the three babyfaces down. Bray stood on the ring apron and said, “Get the tables.” His trio tried to oblige, but Bubba shoved Bray off the apron and through a table on the floor. Wyatt held his left arm at ringside while his men stood by. “Welcome to hardcore, welcome to extreme,” JBL said. Luke Harper stared at Michael Cole, who stood up and backed away.
Winners: No Contest
Non-Title Match
– Alberto Del Rio vs. Goldust
Before the match, Colter cut a promo from his scooter about the haters in this country. He said they are concerned with social media, rats on mars, and Anne Hathaway’s baby bump. Del Rio approached Goldust and said he’s full of hate. Goldust struck him to start the match. Goldust performed his power slam, but Del Rio came right back and finished him with his double stomp.
After the match, Del Rio put Goldust in the Cross Arm Breaker. Jack Swagger ran out and ran off Del Rio. The fans chanted USA and then We The People.
Winner: Alberto Del Rio
Backstage: Charlotte, Ric Flair & Becky Lynch
Backstage, Becky Lynch asked Charlotte about going to The Authority and asking for a match against one another. “Why?” Charlotte responded. Lynch said they could show the world what they are capable of. Lynch said it had nothing to do with what Paige said to her earlier (on the Raw pre-show). Charlotte said she would under one condition. She said her dad is in town and asked if Lynch would come to the ring with them. Ric Flair showed up and they wooooed.
#1 Contendership For Tag-Team Titles
– The Usos vs. The Lucha Dragons
New Day sat in on commentary, so we’re probably headed to a no-contest and both teams challenging them at TLC. Cole actually brought up New Day walking out on Sheamus at Survivor Series. Woods and Kingston said they were tending to their injured friend.
There was a dive fest with the various wrestlers diving onto one another at ringside while New Day delivered mock commentary. Kingston and Woods hit the ring and attacked both teams briefly to end the match. Afterward, New Day said it was a double disqualification so it looks like they won’t be putting their titles on the line at TLC.
Winners: No Contest
