Bianca Belair just got help...from Bayley?!

Nia Jax crushes Bianca's spine against the exposed turnbuckle

Belair is taken to the floor, where Nia plants her on the desk with another Samoan drop. After that, Bianca's launched head-first into the steel steps. While Belair's down and the ref counts, Nia gloats in the corner.

Bayley rushes in and takes Nia out, sending her tumbling down to the mat! Bianca rushes in and hits a 450 Splash for the win!!

Bianca Belair defeats Nia Jax via pinfall. Grade: C

Nia plants Bianca with a Samoan Drop. Again, Bianca stops the Annihilator, driving Nia down to the mat with a huge back suplex!!

1-2-no!! Nia somehow kicks out. As Bianca hit that slam, Nia pulled the turnbuckle pad off. Nia hits a splash in the corner, driving Bianca's spine into the exposed steel.

Nia goes up top again, looking for the Annihilator. Bianca stops her and sends her crashing to the mat with an incredible slam!! The handspring splash follows for a near fall!!

Back in the ring, Nia hits the leg drop for a near fall. Bianca is having her moments, but this match has nearly been all Nia. A diving leg drop from the second rope still doesn't get Nia the win, but Bianca's in a bad way.

Bianca avoids a back suplex and sends Nia shoulder-first into the ring post. "OW," screams the champion. Bianca follows with a slingshot crossbody to the floor, flattening Nia.

Nia Jax completely dominates early on. Bianca's spine is driven into the ring post as the WWE Champion gloats. We cut to the final break as Belair cries out in anguish.

SmackDown has the Women's US Title. Now RAW has the Women's Intercontinental Title.

It's time for the main event! WWE Women's Tag Champion Bianca Belair faces WWE Women's Champion Nia Jax for the go-ahead advantage at Survivor Series!

We see that before RAW started, Adam Pearce revealed a brand-new championship. The Women's Intercontinental Championship. A tournament to crown the first will begin next week.

We see The Miz and the Final Testament leave their locker room to look for The Wyatts. Scarlett is left alone, and Nikki Cross enters the room as we cut to break.

When we return, the room is in shambles and Scarlett is swinging at anything she sees. Kross embraces her as we see a message in the mirror. "Everyone has something to lose."

"What did you do with that? You p***ed it all away!!"

Kofi and Woods walk away from one another. "See you at the anniversary."

THEY NEED E!!

Cameras follow Kingston and Woods from the ring to the gorilla as they argue nonstop. Woods claims Kofi is selfish. Kofi reminds him that he gave him his Intercontinental Championship match, and he fumbled it...just like he did the King of the Ring crown. "That's why me and E never let you call the shots. You're reckless!!"

Kofi states that he was a Hall of Famer before they even met. "Do you know why you haven't been a singles champion like me and E? You are not good enough!" Woods reminds him that he took beatings for Kofi. Kofi Mania happened because of him and Woods. "And what did you do with that WWE Championship? You ****ed it all away on a silver platter in six seconds to Brock Lesnar!"

The New Day are up next as they take on Alpha Academy. Despite stating they love each other and they've put their issues behind them, Xavier Woods and Kofi Kingston get into an argument as their match starts.

Otis attacks Woods and sends Kofi to the floor. Akira Tozawa tags in and hits the Senton off the top...1-2-3!!

Alpha Academy defeats New Day via pinfall. Grade: F

After the match, we're told that the New Day's 10th anniversary takes place on December 2 next week. That's my birthday, which means WWE plans to ruin that day by tearing my heart out.

While the ref is dealing with Dom and Carlito, Balor knocks Ivar off the top, dropping him throat first on the top rope. Ivar stumbles back and is rolled up by JD...

The Judgment Day defeats the War Raiders via pinfall. Grade: C

Erik manages to fight out of the corner and finally tags out to Ivar. The big man plants JD with a spinning power slam and follows with a running power slam that flattens the young champion.

The Raiders hit Thor's Hammer, but Balor breaks up the pinfall on JD. Just as they look to end things, Dirty Dom and Carlito rush in to run interference. They're easily dealt with, and the Raiders hit War Machine on JD!!

1-2-NOO, Dirty Dom puts JD's foot on the ropes! The ref sends Dom and Carlito to the back.

We see that JD McDonagh managed to take over during the break when he countered a suplex from Erik with a neckbreaker. Since then, JD and his mentor Balor have kept Erik in their corner with constant pressure. The Judgment Day tag in and out with leaping strikes, ending with a springboard moonsault from JD.

"Friday, it's a family reunion. I'm whoopin [Jacob Fatu]'s *** then we go to war win WARGAMES!!"

The champs come out...with gold for the last time, possibly.

Adam Pearce is going to lose his mind one of these days... Scrap Daddy is FIRED UP

The War Raiders easily take over this title match. JD is sent to the floor, while Erik plants Ivar on top of Balor with a body slam. Balor joins JD on the floor, where they're bowled over with a diving senton off the apron from Ivar!!

It's time for the WWE World Tag Team Championship match! Finn Balor and JD McDonagh of the Judgment Day defend against Erik and Ivar, the War Raiders!

We see a recap from SmackDown, where Paul Heyman brought out CM Punk as the fifth member of Roman Reigns' WarGames team.

Backstage, Cathy Kelley asks how The Usos and Sami Zayn feel about it. Sami isn't sure he can trust him, but Jimmy puts his fears to rest. "The Wiseman is back, Sami! He says he's good, so we're good!" As far as how we'll decide the advantage for their match, Jey Uso will face Jacob Fatu on SmackDown for that right.

As soon as I ask what Pearce wants, we find out. When we return from break, the three are STILL fighting. As security breaks them up for the briefest of moments, the General Manager of RAW comes out. "ENOUGH!! You want to fight? You got it! Triple Threat for the Intercontinental Championship...at Surivivor Series!!"

Breakker, Sheamus, and Kaiser brawl through security as we cut to break. These three aren't finished with one another! The question is...how will GM Adam Pearce solve this?

Despite the damage, Breakker fights back to his feet after escaping Kaiser's submission in the ring. He batters the Imperium member and takes him up top for the Frankensteiner! The spear is next...and Kaiser counters with a leaping kick to the face!! Breakker is placed on the steps as Kaiser sets up for his running dropkick...and Sheamus blindsides Kaiser!!

Ludwig Kaiser defeats Bron Breakker via DQ. Grade: C+

Breakker takes himself out by spearing the table

Bron Breakker and Ludwig Kaiser are up next. Kaiser's strikes are shrugged off by the champion as Breakker runs through him with that 23-mile-an-hour speed and flattens him!! Breakker escapes another attack and drops Kaiser with a fireman's carry gutbuster, forcing him to the floor. When Breakker rushes him for the full-speed spear, Kaiser sidesteps.

Breakker hits the announcer's desk at full force, sending it moving in the opposite direction as Breakker bounces off in pain!

Backstage, Judgment Day are going over their plans for tonight and Survivor Series. Finn Balor tells Liv Morgan to trust her partners...and that's when R-Truth strolls in to back up Balor. What's Truth doing here??

Well, he's looking for a place to hide from "Butch." Balor demands he leave, leading to Truth breaking all of our hearts. "THANKSGIVING IS RUINED!!"

The Intercontinental Champion is out for blood!

Chad Gable ruins what's been a fantastic opener

Whatever they were going for...it didn't work

After a double 619 to their shins, the Creeds eat the boots of Dragon Lee!

As Rey focuses on Brutus, Lee attempts a dive onto Julius on the floor. Whatever he was going for, it didn't work out, leading to a rather unfortunate yet thankfully safe botch. Julius plants him on the floor with a suplex before going after Rey.

Rey sets Julius up with the 619. Brutus attempts to stop it but is launched over the ref and into the turnbuckle. While the ref is stuck between the corner and Brutus, Chad Gable tears at Rey's mask and turns it around, blinding the WWE Hall of Famer. Julius takes advantage, rolling him up with a school boy for the win.

The Creeds defeat LWO via pinfall. Grade: B+
