For those have asked, we are told the Kalisto "injury" during the Survivor Series Kickoff show was just a storyline way to let Gran Metallik into the match. He was fine backstage.
UFC Hall of Famer Tito Ortiz (who has made appearances for Impact Wrestling in the past) and WWE Hall of Famers Ric Flair, Rikishi and Mark Henry were backstage.
Dean Ambrose was backstage at the PPV but was not used on camera.
As we noted earlier, Becky Lynch was backstage.
There were several faces from the past also at the Survivor Series PPV, including former WWE Divas Champion Candice Michelle, Darren Young and Lilian Garcia.
Carmella took to Twitter to note that it was special that she performed at the Staples Center as she was a LA Lakers girl before entering professional wrestling:
Tonight was extra special for me. I got to wrestle at @STAPLESCenter. I used to perform here on the regular in my Laker Girl days... it was awesome to be back and dance again... #DanceBreak ???? #SurviorSeries pic.twitter.com/10XC3vzoDd

Falling in Reverse lead singer Ronnie Radke was visiting at the show
Former WWE star Rosa Mendes' husband Bobby Schubenski (who has popped up on Total Divas in the past) was visiting as well.
I believe Sean Waltman was also back at the PPV and I'd expect he'll be at the Raw and Smackdown TV tapings as well.
Following the PPV, Charlotte Flair changed her Twitter profiled to read "The Baddest B**ch on the Planet," obviously a knock on Ronda Rousey's nickname.
Becky Lynch, meanwhile, noted the following fun fact:
Unrelated to anything, but in Ireland the slang word for ‘toilet’ is ‘Jax.’
