Before the pay-per-view could properly begin, there was a bonus traditional Survivor Series elimination tag team match on the pre-show. The returning Goldust joined forces with Neville, Titus O’Neil and fellow Attitude Era stars The Dudley Boyz to take on – and defeat – the fivesome of Stardust, The Ascension, The Miz and Bo Dallas.
Roman Reigns Vs. Alberto Del Rio
WWE decided to kick off Survivor Series 2015 with both tournament semi-final bouts, which was the right move. Roman Reigns and Alberto Del Rio opened the show with a solid contest. Reigns looked dominant throughout, but the experienced Del Rio knew exactly how to slow down The Big Dog. At one point Reigns missed a big charge in the corner, ramming his own shoulder into the turnbuckle.
As one would expect, Del Rio went after that injured shoulder/arm like a shark smelling blood. Reigns sold the pain beautifully while fighting from underneath, adding some much-needed drama to an extremely predictable match. Roman blocked Alberto’s Cross Armbreaker submission twice before finally putting the United States Champion down and out with a big Spear.
Dean Ambrose Vs. Kevin Owens
The second semi-final matchup saw Intercontinental Champion Kevin Owens take on Dean Ambrose, which ended up being even better than Reigns vs Del Rio. Owens and Ambrose made the most of the 11 minutes they got from bell to bell, delivering an entertaining back-and-forth bout.
Owens slammed Ambrose onto the announce table near the end, and it felt like KO had the upper hand. He went for the Pop-Up Powerbomb back inside the ring, but Ambrose managed to turn the move into a hurricanrana before putting Owens away with Dirty Deeds.
Ryback, The Usos & The Lucha Dragons Vs. The New Day, Sheamus & King Barrett
Now that we knew what the main event was going to be, it was time to let the show breathe. Thus, there was a traditional Survivor Series elimination tag match up next. The fact that the participants weren’t even announced before the pay-per-view shows just how important it was!
That year’s King of the Ring winner King Barrett was the first to hit the showers after being pinned by Sin Cara. The New Day then worked together to eliminate Jimmy Uso; just a few seconds later, Sheamus tagged himself in and eliminated Sin Cara to give the heels the numbers advantage.
It didn’t last long though, with Jey Uso eliminating Big E less than a minute later. Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods decided to walk away from the match as well, leaving Sheamus alone against Jey Uso, Kalisto and Ryback. The latter finished the job moments later by hitting Shell Shocked on Mr. Money in the Bank, who ate yet another loss.
Charlotte Vs. Paige
The soon-to-be-retired Divas Championship was on the line at Survivor Series as Charlotte defended against Paige. This feud is mostly remembered because of that infamous segment that saw Paige talk about Charlotte’s late brother, Reid Flair, on the go-home edition of Raw.
The Atlanta crowd just didn’t care about this story at all no matter how hard both women worked in the ring. While no one can really blame the fans, especially after what happened the previous Monday, the in-ring action wasn’t bad at all. In the end, Charlotte retained the title after forcing Paige to tap out to her Figure Eight Leglock.
