WWE World Heavyweight Title Tournament Semi-Finals
– Dean Ambrose vs. Kevin Owens
From there we head back inside the arena. Dean Ambrose’s music hits and the fans in Atlanta give him a great reaction. He makes his way to the ring as it’s time for our second WWE Title Tournament semi-final match of the evening. Out next comes the I-C champ, Kevin Owens.
The bell sounds and it’s time to find out who will be standing across the ring from Roman Reigns in the finals of the WWE World Heavyweight Championship tournament later this evening.
Early on, Owens dominates Ambrose, almost with ease. He dominates the action for the beginning portion of the match and talks trash almost the entire time. He even dropped a “Chinlock City” reference.
Ambrose starts to finally show some signs of life and starts getting in some offense. Then, out of nowhere, Ambrose nails Owens with Dirty Deeds and covers him. 1-2-3. Ambrose advances to the finals of the WWE Title Tournament later this evening, where he will meet his “brother” Roman Reigns to determine the next WWE World Heavyweight Champion.
Winner and advancing to the finals of the WWE Title Tournament: Dean Ambrose
Traditional Survivor Series Elimination Match
– Ryback, Kalisto, Sin Cara, Jey Uso & Jimmy Uso vs. Big E., Kofi Kingston, Xavier Woods, King Barrett & Sheamus
We find out when we return to the ring that our next match of the evening will be the traditional five-on-five Survivor Series elimination match. Out for the first team first is Ryback. His partners, The Lucha Dragons (Kalisto & Sin Cara) and The Usos (Jimmy Uso & Jey Uso) make their way out next.
Their opponents come out next, starting with The New Day (Big E., Kofi Kingston & Xavier Woods). Their partners are King Barrett and Sheamus. The New Day cuts a promo on the way out to the ring, putting down their opponents and the city of Atlanta and putting over themselves and their two partners for tonight.
They gave this match a good bit of time and The New Day was in rare form from beginning to end. They end up being the first three eliminated. Barrett was eliminated as well. On the babyface side, Jey Uso and Sin Cara were eliminated, as it was even up until 3 on 3, and then the babyface side went on a 3-0 run to win and “survive.” The final elimination came when Ryback hit Shellshocked on Sheamus for the 1-2-3.
Sole Survivors: Ryback, Kalisto & Jimmy Uso
WWE Divas Championship
– Paige vs. Charlotte
After our traditional five-on-five Survivor Series elimination match, the video package airs for the WWE Divas Championship match between Paige and Charlotte. Michael Cole puts over the “controversial talk” heading into this match.
Out first comes the challenger, Paige. Her opponent, current WWE Divas Champion Charlotte, is out next. These two go at it straight from the word “go,” with Charlotte coming at Paige like a bat out of hell. Paige starts to mount some offense but then Charlotte completely takes over.
The WWE Divas Champion goes for the Figure-8, but settles for the Figure Four Leglock when Paige defended. Charlotte tightens up the Figure Four more and more and refuses to release the hold, even when Paige tries crawling out of the ring, Charlotte keeps a hold of the submission from inside the ring while Paige lays on the floor outside the ring.
Finally, Paige gets free and after slamming Charlotte into the ring post, it’s Paige’s turn to show her mean streak as she takes it to Charlotte. Paige controls the action for a few minutes until Charlotte cuts her off with a spear. She ends up getting Paige in the Figure Eight a few moments later and Paige has no choice but to tap out.
Winner and STILL WWE Divas Champion: Charlotte
Backstage: Dean Ambrose & Roman Reigns
Backstage, Dean Ambrose is briefly interviewed about advancing to the finals of the WWE title tournament and having to fight his “brother” to win the gold. Ambrose says there’s time for him to be an entertainer and time for him to be a fighter. He says tonight, he’s a fighter and he’s going to fight his brother. In walks Reigns. He says normally he’d give his bro a big hug but he knows tonight isn’t the time for that. Reigns and Ambrose give each other daps and then Ambrose stares Reigns down a bit as he goes to walk away.
