Raw 11/14/11:
-The show opens with the Conspirators all coming to the ring. They cut a long group promo, with the gyst being that they will win all their matches tonight, and after Survivor Series, there will be a new era in WWE.
-Match 1: Alex Riley VS Brodus Clay
-Clay wins clean with his finisher. Clay goes to add injury to injury when he is run off by John Morrison. (*1/2)
-Triple H cut a promo. He has a match with R-Truth, while Cena will face Del Rio, and Punk will face Miz. Because HHH is still COO, he has banned everyone from both teams from ringside during the individual matches.
-Match 2: Triple H VS R-Truth
-HHH wins clean with the Pedigree. What did you expect? (**1/2)
-Match 3: AJ & Kaitlyn VS Beth Phoenix & Natalya
-Divas of Destruction demolish the babyfaces. Beth pins AJ clean with the Glam Slam. Crowd was burned out after the last match plus...it's a Divas' match. (3/4*)
-Beth Phoenix gets on the mic, and directs some comments at Divas Champion Kelly Kelly. Beth says Survivor Series will be the dawn of a new age for the Divas when she beats Kelly for the championship.
-CM Punk cut a promo for his match against The Miz.
-Match 4: CM Punk VS The Miz
-Decent match, which seems to be the best all Miz is capable of. Punk gets the momentum and looks to finish, but Miz takes a walk. (**3/4)
-Match 5: Randy Orton, Justin Gabriel, & WWE Tag Team Champions Air Boom VS United States Champion Dolph Ziggler, Intercontinental Champion Cody Rhodes, Christian, & Jack Swagger
-Preview of their traditional Survivor Series elimination match at the PPV. Big ending sequence with everyone hitting finishers or signature moves, ending with Ziggler hitting Bourne with the Zig Zag for the win. (***)
-Match 6: John Cena VS WWE Champion Alberto Del Rio
-OK main event. ADR suddenly grabs the WWE title belt and KO's Cena for the DQ, before sprinting to the back. (***)
-As Cena tries to recover from the belt shot, the camera cuts to the back where the rest of the Conspirators are destroying Triple H and CM Punk. Del Rio joins in the fun, and after the Conspirators leave, the camera lingers on HHH & Punk as the show ends.
Smackdown 11/18/11:
-Match 1: Daniel Bryan, William Regal, Sin Cara, & Ted DiBiase VS Wade Barrett, Sin Cara II, Heath Slater, & Tyson Kidd
-Long opener, and a preview of a traditional Survivor Series elimination match. As the match breaks down, Slater gets a hold of Bryan's Money in the Bank briefcase and KO's Ted DiBiase for the win. (***)
-Sheamus cut a promo for his matches tonight against the Big Show in a no-DQ match, and the World Heavyweight Championship match against Show and champion Mark Henry at Survivor Series.
-Randy Orton cut a promo. He says his team will win at Survivor Series, and that Cody Rhodes above all others, will not survive.
-Match 2: Trent Barreta VS World Heavyweight Champion Mark Henry
-Quick squash for Henry, who adds a big splash and another World's Strongest Slam after the bell for good measure. (*3/4)
-Henry cut a promo on Sheamus and Big Show in preparation for the title match at Survivor Series.
-Match 3: Justin Gabriel VS Christian
-Typical great match between these two. Cody Rhodes comes out to ringside and interferes, allowing Christian to get the win with the Killswitch. Just as it looks like Rhodes & Christian are about to destroy Gabriel, Randy Orton makes the save. (****)
-As the four men fight, Teddy Long makes his return to Smackdown, and orders Christian & Gabriel to leave ringside so Orton & Rhodes can have a non-title match right now.
-Match 4: Randy Orton VS Intercontinental Champion Cody Rhodes
-Really good match. Match spilled outside the ring, where the two brawled for a double count out. (***3/4)
-As Rhodes/Orton fight, Christian & Gabriel rejoin the fray, and the four men have to be held apart by WWE officials.
-Big Show cut a promo. He KO'd Sheamus last week to let him know that Show is not his friend, and the only thing that matters is the World Heavyweight Championship. Show says he will KO Sheamus tonight, then Mark Henry if he wants to get involved, then possibly both at Survivor Series to win the title.
-Match 5: Sheamus VS Big Show [No Disqualification]
-This was not good. Neither man held a distinct advantage until Mark Henry came to ringside. Then it became a three-way fight. Henry KO's Sheamus with the title, then Show KO's Henry with the WMD and gets the pin on Sheamus. Show stands tall with the World title belt as the show closes. Not a good omen for the PPV. (*3/4)

-This match was shockingly and inexcusably disappointing. (*3/4)

-Match 4 for the Divas Championship: Kelly Kelly [c] VS Beth Phoenix
-Referee kicked Natalya & Eve from ringside early on. Beth wins the title clean with the Glam Slam. (*1/2)
-Match 5 for the World Heavyweight Championship: Mark Henry [c] VS Sheamus VS Big Show [Triple Threat Match]
