UPDATED AT 10:49 AM WITH PARTS I SOMEHOW ELIMINATED LAST NIGHT: DAVE’S SURVIVOR SERIES BLOG

I have no idea what happened until Cesaro came out. I turned on Apple TV five hours ago and it kept dropping. I tried my iPad, the same thing. So before I actually went and bought the PPV, I tried my PC and it worked. I have heard from other people that have had Apple issues. That is not a good thing for WWE. If they give people problems tonight, they will pay for it, which is ironic since the whole enticement was the “free” aspect. A lot of others have told me they had no issues, so it must have been something on my end.

Anyway, Cesaro came out and kissed Team Authority’s butt. This brought out Jack Swagger and Zeb, who said they were standing up for Team Cena. Their match is on. … They had a solid five minute match, which Swagger won with the Patriot Lock. So I guess last Monday was a one night thing for Cesaro.

Just as the pre-show ended, up pulled a limo and out came, yeah you knew it, Vince McMahon. Is that enough to get you to watch for free? It was the last thing that they showed on the free WWE pre-show. It was a good attempt to get people to buy, or watch for free.

Vince promised that tonight’s show will be epic. He then called out Stephanie and Triple H. They got booed. Vince got cheered, of course. Steph said she felt the love, especially for her dad. She said he gave them an incredible opportunity. They have learned so much from him and won’t let him down tonight. Then HHH got the crowd to chant for Vince. Vince said it’s a bunch of crap and brought out John Cena.

Vince told him Cena that if Team Authority wins, he is responsible for all of his teammates being fired. If Cena wins, Team Authority loses power. Cena said that if his team wins, will The Authority leave on their own or will he have to throw them out? HHH said that Cena is going to cost his guys jobs and tomorrow they are going to come to the Authority and beg for their jobs, but they will be fired anyway. And then they will be forgotten about. And it’s all on you John. Steph then jumped in and said the fans don’t care about any of the workers and they will turn on them tomorrow. Steph said that if his team wins, they won’t be at Raw, but they will be running things in Stamford, CT. Isn’t that right dad? Vince said that is not exactly what he had in mind. Vince’s hair is colored by the way. Vince said you will still have your desk jobs, but you will have no influence over the careers of any WWE stars. And in the contract the only man who could ever bring them back to power…..Steph jumps in and says how much she loves her dad and that they are spending the holidays together. Vince does what is best for business. He has so much confidence in them winning tonight, the only person who could bring them back to power if they lose is…..John Cena! The crowd starts chanting YES! YES! YES! Cena smiled. He liked it. He then said to Steph she was a McMahon. H you married a McMahon. Don’t let me down. Steph says she loves this, it gives them even more incentive to beat Team Cena. John said you will lose tonight and there is one man to bring them back, so your chances of coming back to work…..NO CHANCE IN HELL!

It was a great open for the show.

The first match on the show is the tag team match. Two teams in the ring at once, you can tag anyone you want. First pin wins. It’s Stardust and Goldust vs. Los Matadores vs. Miz and Mizdow vs. The Usos. Miz started the match and the “We want Mizdow” chants started right away. So of course, Miz teased tagging Dow in but didn’t. Early on was feeling out. The fans then started chanting for Mizdow again, when Miz wasn’t even in the ring. Stardust also did the pull-away and didn’t tag Dow, to big boos. Finally, Miz brought Dow in and the crowd went nuts. Before he could do anything, Goldust back tagged him and out went Dow. He is super over with the fans. … Early on, it was mostly Star and Gold dominating, which made sense since the first pin wins. You wouldn’t want to leave the ring. … Then it turned really good, action-wise. After a really cool spot with a bunch of guys, that laid Goldust out, Miz managed to tag in. Before he could get there, Dow stole the tag from him and pinned Goldust. New tag champions! The crowd popped big. Miz grabbed both belts and celebrated. When Miz would lift his arms with the belts, BOO. When Dow lifted his, big pop. They have something really fun with this angle. … Overall, it was a lot of fun and a good match.

In the back, Adam Rose and the Bunny were going to settle their differences by using action figures, which of course you can get from our good friends at www.RingsideCollectibles.com. The Bunny won. Then Slater Gator came in and mocked Rose. That set up a tag match between them for later.

Time for the four on four Divas match: Paige, Cameron, Summer Rae and Layla vs. Natalya (with Tyson Kidd), Naomi, Emma and Alicia Fox. To show how into this match the announcers they are, they talked about Lawler’s team against Doink 147 years ago. After that, they went into talking about Total Divas while the fans chanted for people they wanted, like Randy Orton and Mizdow. I feel bad for the ladies. The fans could care about them if they were booked to be cared about. … The first pin was Naomi taking out Cameron. Then Naomi beat Layla. Emma made Summer Rae tap. So now it’s 4 against Paige. Honestly, I was more interested in WWE’s brilliant move to have Vince McMahon do Steve Austin’s podcast on the WWE Network to try and get the free people to pay for month two. Great move on their part. … Anyway, the crowd was behind Paige. She tried to leave but they brought her back. Natty tried to settle her teakettle but ate a kick. She then tossed Paige with a nice belly to back suplex. Anyway, it didn’t last long. Paige screwed all of them over, so they beat her, 4-0, after Naomi have the big butt. After the match, Kidd stole Natty’s spotlight.
