-Commentators: Michael Cole, Jerry Lawler, & John Bradshaw Layfield.
-John Cena started the show by announcing Intercontinental Champion Dolph Ziggler and Jack Swagger as his Survivor Series teammates, then called out Ryback to talk to him before their main-event match later in the evening. That brought out Triple H, Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley, Seth Rollins, Kane, and Mark Henry(now added to Team Authority). Each side made their case and Ryback said he wasn't afraid of The Authority...but he also didn't see Cena's name on his paychecks. He delivered a spinebuster on Cena, seemingly joining Team Authority in the process.
-Seth Rollins(w/ Jamie Knoble & Joey Mercury) d. Jack Swagger(w/ Zeb Colter) with the advanced curbstomp. Rollins delivered a second curbstomp after the match.
-Paige Knight d. Alicia Fox with the Ram-Paige(cradle DDT).
-Alexander Rusev(w/ Lana Perry) d. Sheamus O'Shaunessy by countout to retain the U.S. Title; Jamie Knoble & Joey Mercury ran interference when the fight spilled out of the ring, keeping Sheamus from beating the ten-count after Rusev had re-entered the ring. Afterwards, Stephanie met the two backstage about joining Team Authority and Lana agreed to Rusev joining the team.
-Mike Mizanin & Damien Sandow(w/ Hornswoggle) d. Los Matadores(Fernando & Diego)(w/ El Torito); Diego tried to suplex Miz back into the ring, but Miz fell on top and Sandow held Diego's foot from outside the ring as Miz got the pin.
-Backstage, Cena & Ziggler discussed their Survivor Series team and Cena said that Swagger was injured from Rollins' post-match attack, so he was out of action. Cena promised to watch Ziggler's back...and Triple H just happened to overhear and banned Cena from ringside for Ziggler's match.
-Intercontinental Champion Dolph Ziggler d. Mark Henry by DQ(non-title) when Henry hit Ziggler with a chair. Henry set up for a World's Strongest Slam onto the ring steps but The Big Show made the save, then officially announced that he was joining Team Cena. In a backstage segment, Sheamus joined Cena's team as well.
-Women's Champion A.J. Lee d. Brie Bella(w/ Nikki Bella)(non-title) with the Black Widow. Nikki attacked A.J. after the match and dropped her with the Rack Attack(torture-rack drop).
-Tyson Kidd d. Adam Rose(w/ Rosebuds). Erick Rowan wandered out the ringside, said "she's not here"(Natalya Neidhart?), and then wandered away. The Bunny went to the top rope and Rose had to tell him to get down...after that brief distraction, Kidd double-legged Rose down into the Sharpshooter for the tapout. After the match, Rose kicked The Bunny down and left with his other Rosebuds.
-John Cena d. Ryback(w/ Seth Rollins, Kane, Mark Henry, Alexander Rusev, Jamie Knoble, & Joey Mercury) by DQ when Kane interfered. Ryback took exception to Kane's interference and Rollins tried to play peacemaker, but Ryback nailed Rollins and Kane laid out Ryback. Team Authority beat down Cena...Sheamus and then Big Show tried to help but the numbers were too much for them. Finally Ryback re-entered the fray and cleaned house, finishing with a Shellshock on Kane before walking away.
-Backstage: Luke Harper threw Ziggler into Triple H and Stephanie's office and said "I'm a team player..."
