Raw 10/31/11:
-The show opens with WWE Champion Alberto Del Rio, Kevin Nash, & Awesome Truth in the ring. Miz & Truth start things off by talking about the conspiracy that was holding them down earlier this year. Miz says that they responded by forming a conspiracy of their own, one that will change WWE forever. Kevin Nash talks about doing what he thought his friend HHH would want, but when HHH rebuffed and fired him, Nash had no choice but to join up with Miz, Truth, Del Rio, and their "mystery friend". Nash says someone very close to HHH wants what HHH has, and that this group will do what they have to do to make it happen. Del Rio says he knows as long as HHH is in charge, that Del Rio will never get a fair shake as WWE Champion. Del Rio says the match at Survivor Series will go on as announced, but with one stipulation added; when their team wins, HHH is OUT as WWE COO, and their friend takes his place. Tonight the downfall of the HHH administration continues, as Del Rio & Awesome Truth will face HHH, John Cena, & CM Punk in a six man tag team main event.
-Match 1: Santino Marella VS Brodus Clay
-Santino tries his hardest, but gets destroyed by Clay. Clay continues the beatdown after the match. (*1/2)

-Match 3: AJ VS Beth Phoenix
-Beth wins quickly with the Glam Slam. (*3/4)
-Match 4: Sheamus & Kane VS World Heavweight Champion Mark Henry & ????

Smackdown 11/4/11:
*WWE News: Kane suffered an arm injury during the tag team match on RAW, and will be out until the new year.*
-World Heavyweight Champion Mark Henry opens the show. He says that Teddy Long is mad because Mark Henry made him an example of what happens when you cross the World's Strongest Man. Henry says Long was going to make Henry defend the World Heavyweight Championship against Sheamus, Kane, & The Big Show in a Fatal 4 Way at Survivor Series. Henry says that after RAW this past Monday, Henry got his hands on Kane, and he won't be making it to Survivor Series. Henry says the match is now a Triple Threat match between himself, Sheamus, and Big Show...for now. Tonight, Henry has asked for, and received a non-title no-disqualification match against Sheamus. Henry says he is going to take the opportunity to eliminate Sheamus from the match at Survivor Series, then Big Show is next...
-Match 1: Ted DiBiase VS Wade Barrett
-Barrett wins relatively quickly with Wasteland. Barrett goes to add another like the last time he faced DiBiase, but William Regal made the save. (***1/4)
-Heath Slater & Tyson Kidd are in the ring. They talk about being the future of the WWE, but they are tired of being overlooked by both the WWE brass, and the WWE Universe. They have joined forces, and starting tonight, they will no longer be the overlooked.
-Match 2: Heath Slater & Tyson Kidd VS The Usos
-Short match. Slater gets a roll-up on Jey, and some help from Kidd to get the pin. The crowd was so into the opener, they were burned out for this match. Did not see that coming. (*3/4)
-Matt Striker meets up with Wade Barrett backstage. Barrett is upset at William Regal, saying that Regal should be by his side, not Daniel Bryan's. Regal shows up and gets in Barrett's face. Barrett challenges Regal to a match for next week, and Regal accepts.
-Elsewhere, Christian says that Teddy Long has been negligent in not giving Christian his "one more match" for the world title, but tonight, after he beats Daniel Bryan and gains posession of the Money in the Bank briefcase, he can have that match whenever he wants.
-Match 3: Justin Gabriel VS Sin Cara II
-Really good TV match. Gabriel wins with the 450. Christian sprints down to the ring, and lays Gabriel out with a spear and the Killswitch, showing their issue is far from settled. (***3/4)
-Match 4: Randy Orton VS Jinder Mahal
-Quick squash. Orton wins with the RKO. (**)
-As Orton celebrates his win, Intercontinental Champion Cody Rhodes comes out onto the stage, and says that after Rhodes' victory at Vengeance, he is moving on to bigger and better things, leaving Orton in his rear-view mirror. Booker T wonders why, if Rhodes is moving on, why he has to keep saying it.
-Match 5: Daniel Bryan VS Christian
-Long match. Christian escapes the Labell Lock and takes control with a low blow. The ref gets bumped, and Christian KO's Bryan with the MitB briefcase. Christian wakes up the ref and looks to finish with the Killswitch, but Justin Gabriel is trying to fight his way through WWE officials to get to Christian. He can't, but the distraction is enough for Bryan to roll Christian up for the pin. Christian has a tempet tantrum after the loss. (***1/2)
-Match 6: Sheamus VS World Heavyweight Champion Mark Henry [No Disqualification]
-Another long match. Henry jumps Sheamus during Sheamus' entrance, so Sheamus has to fight from underneath the whole match. Henry tries to slam Sheamus through the announce table, but Sheamus avoids it. Sheamus splashes Henry through a table for a near-fall. Henry lays Sheamus out with a belt shot and the World's Strongest Slam. Henry doesn't want the pin until he Pillmanizes Sheamus. As he prepares to do so, the Big Show emerges from the crowd. Show nails Henry with a KO punch, causing Henry to turn right into the Brogue kick for the Sheamus victory. Sheamus and Big Show shake hands as the show ends. (**1/4)
