WWE Survivor Series 2018 Final PPV Results: Smackdown Gets Pummeled By Raw

Survivor Series has come to a close, and it was a bit better than expected, especially the Ronda Rousey vs. Charlotte Flair match. Raw dominated Smackdown over the course of the November 18 evening, for one of WWE’s biggest PPVs of the year.

The Survivor Series PPV aired live from the Staples Center in Los Angeles, California. The rosters of Raw and Smackdown battled each other to see which show was the dominant one. Below you’ll find the results for every match and the order of elimination for every Survivor Series bout.

The Kickoff Show for Survivor Series beings 2 PM PT / 5 PM ET / 10 PM GMT on the WWE Network. There are plenty of ways to watch the show before the main card starts at 4 PM PT / 7 PM ET / 12 AM GMT (November 19).

While the Kickoff Show is two hours long, there has only been one confirmed match for the event, and that’s the Tag Team Survivor Series Match which features two teams of 10 battling each other in an elimination bout. For the main card, there will only be one title defense during the evening, and that’s Cruiserweight Champion Buddy Murphy taking on Mustafa Ali.

The rest of the evening will feature plenty of Raw vs. Smackdown matches. It will have title holders from one brand facing champions from the other, except for the women’s champs. Ronda Rousey was originally going to face Becky Lynch, but the Smackdown Women’s Champion got injured, so Lynch picked Charlotte Flair as her replacement. Additionally, Brock Lesnar was going to take on AJ Styles, but days before the event, Daniel Bryan beat Styles for the WWE Championship, so Bryan is off to Survivor Series to fight Lesnar.

Survivor Series Match Card:

  • Universal Champion Brock Lesnar vs. WWE Champion Daniel Bryan
  • Raw Women’s Champion Ronda Rousey vs. Charlotte
  • Intercontinental Champion Seth Rollins vs. United States Champion Shinsuke Nakamura
  • Women’s Survivor Series Match
  • Men’s Survivor Series Match
  • Raw Tag Team Champions AOP vs. SmackDown Tag Team Champions The Bar
  • Buddy Murphy (c) vs. Mustafa Ali (Cruiserweight Championship)
  • Tag Team Survivor Series Match [Kickoff Match]

The Walking Dead: “Stradivarius” Review

Warning: Full spoilers for the episode follow…

Walking Dead star Michael Cudlitz returned to the fold this week to direct his former castmates in “Stradivarius,” a decent-enough bridging episode that kept the new information flowing while also setting the story up for a big confrontation out in the woods for next week’s midseason finale.

“Stradivarius” suffered from the same small struggles that “The Obliged” faced back before Rick got near-fatally wounded by his panicked rearing horse. It was sort of half an episode. Meaning, it was the cocking of the gun but not the pulling of the trigger. And because the story had to end before things got good, a bunch of chit chat was added to fill the time. Fortunately, due to the huge time jump, there was a lot to talk about. We still had more to learn about the newbies (and how much they loved them some “Bernie” – hoo, boy) and we had all the Hilltop goings-on to catch up on.

Enzo Amore Appears At WWE Survivor Series, Promptly Kicked Out

At WWE events, you can always expect to see famous people sitting in the front rows, especially at major PPVs. However, at this year’s Survivor Series, the audience got to see former wrestler Enzo Amore, and those sitting by him got a whole show before he was booted from the arena.

Sitting in the second row, in full view of the hard cameras, Eric Arndt, known by WWE fans as Enzo Amore, arrived to this year’s Survivor Series during the Seth Rollins/Shinsuke Nakamura match. He was wearing a hoodie and keeping his head low throughout the match, as first noticed by comic book writer Mario Candelaria, who was sitting two rows behind him.

During the AOP vs. The Bar match, Arndt got up and starting making a scene, but the cameras quickly cut away. Those watching the PPV at home missed out on what many have described as Enzo being Enzo.

Arndt stood up, spung around, and did was sounded like a typical Enzo promo, all while holding a custom championship belt, according to Candelaria who sent GameSpot an image from the moment. Security forcefully threw Arndt from the chair he was sitting in, and Arndt ran out of the area. Apparently, people were hurt when this went down and the LAPD is currently taking statements from the audience.

Many who noticed Amore in the crowd prior to his hijacking of the show thought Amore was going to get involved in the ring somehow. Back in January, Arndt was released from WWE after the company found out about an ongoing sexual assault case, which turned out to be false. However, many insiders say that this was the last straw for WWE as Arndt caused numerous problems backstage.

The former WWE star is no stranger to getting kicked out of things after making a scene. Earlier this week, Arndt was booted from a Delta flight after refusing to stop vaping on an airplane before takeoff, according to Pro Wrestling Sheet. As he was being escorted off the place, some hero yelled, “How you doin’?”

However, Survivor Series continues, so make sure to check out our live coverage of the event.

Spider-Man PS4 Is Cheap At Ebay For A Limited Time

Marvel’s Spider-Man is a critical and commercial success, but if you were holding out to web up a Spidey discount, today is your day. As part of Ebay’s ongoing pre-Black Friday sales, you can get the swinging superhero for $40–the lowest price we’ve seen from the coming sales season. [Update: The sale price has now gone up to $43 as of the time of writing, which is still a deep discount.]

Like many of Ebay’s sale items, this is likely limited by time and supply. You can pick it up at the sale price here. You may have to wait a bit for delivery, though; as of time of writing, delivery is estimated December 5-10. This joins Ebay’s line-up of “Better Than Black Friday” deals, which includes discounts on other recent games like Red Dead Redemption 2 and Black Ops 4.

Spider-Man sold record numbers for Sony, and its success helped Sony’s bottom line so much that the company as a whole raised its profit forecast. This Ebay deal is the only discount we’ve seen this season on the standalone game, though Sony is offering a big discount on the game bundled with a new PS4 console as well for Black Friday.

Insomniac and Sony just detailed the second DLC pack Turf Wars, part of the ongoing serialized story The City That Never Sleeps. It’s set to drop next week, on November 20, with new story missions, sidequests, and of course, Spidey suits.

“The feeling of embodying Spidey and using his abilities is astonishing, and the time spent on exploring its major characters help make its story feel heartfelt, despite superhero bombast,” critic Edmond Tran said in GameSpot’s Spider-Man review. “There have been open-world Spider-Man games before, but none so riveting and full of personality, none that explore and do justice to this many facets of the universe.”
