After the match, Mysterio gets attacked with a steel chair and its put through his neck before he's sent into the turnbuckles. Orton takes Mysterio's mask off.

Orton gets caught enjoying too much and Mysterio finally gets control. He lands a barrage of attacks and even lands the 619 but Orton slides out of the ring. Mysterio goes for the under-rope slide but gets caught in an RKO. WHAT?

Orton once again tries to go after Mysterio's mask and rips it in half! Mysterio tries to go for the jump but misses.

Mysterio wraps Orton's back but The Viper lands a back elbow. Mysterio sends Orton to the ropes and he's in 619 position but Orton wisely rolls out and Mysterio stops right there as well. Orton catches Mysterio when he tries to backflip and then attempts to remove his mask!

Complete disrespect by Orton as the main event rolls on.

It's time for the main event.

Randy Orton vs Rey Mysterio

Daniel Bryan says that he willingly took the beating from Brock Lesnar so he could emerge a new man. He continues to emphasize on what he said months ago: "If you fight for your dreams, your dreams will fight for you".

He then goes to Greg Hamilton and tells him to announce "Your WWE Champion. The NEW Daniel Bryan". Hamilton obliges.

Bryan talks about how the time away made him go to doctos across the countries to get cleared. He says that while the crowd gave him the biggest YES chants ever, they weren't there for the struggles. They weren't there for the pain. They weren't there when the therapists told him to move on and how it affected his family.

Daniel Bryan says he doesn't expect people to understand his explanation but isn't for him. He says the betrayal wasn't last week, but 3 years ago when he retired. He said unlike the people, he didn't accept failure. He's constantly referring to himself in third person. Interesting.

It's interesting to note that WWE hasn't confirmed which brand Lars Sullivan will be on.

Sonya DeVille tags herself in and Asuka attempts a jumping knee on Rose, who moves out of the way. DeVille and Rose have a tense moment together and Asuka takes advantage and kicks DeVille, while Naomi hits the rear view on Rose. Asuka lands an amazing transition into an Asuka lock and that's it!

After the break, Mandy Rose is in control of Naomi. The crowd chants "We want Asuka" and DeVille, who was tagged in gets hit with an enziguri. Naomi finally tags in Asuka, who fires on all cylinders. Asuka hits the knee to the face followed by a dropkick. She lands a shining wizard but Rose kicks out.

Mandy Rose and Sonya Deville get sent out of the ring. Naomi tosses Rose back in and she does a sunset flip, trying to pin her. Naomi leaps over Mandy Rose, who doesn't realize that DeVille was tagged in. DeVille then hits a spear on her.

Kofi Kingston tags in and begins to clean house, bringing it to Sheamus. Big Show finds himself hanging on the ropes and Big E kicks the ropes, sending Big Show through the table.

Sheamus then takes a turkey to attack Kofi (what?). Kofi avoids and sends Sheamus outside. Xavier then picks up the Turkey and Kofi goes airborn, sending Sheamus through the table.

Big E then hits Sheamus with a Turkey..and pins him. What on earth are we watching?

Xavier Woods starts the match against The Big Show and just runs into him only to get knocked down. Xavier Woods begins to get decimated by Sheamus and Cesaro as well.

Is @BillieKayWWE in for a royal beatdown from #TheQueen? #SDLive pic.twitter.com/lebukrJNU9
— WWE (@WWE) November 21, 2018

The Queen makes an emphatic statement by continuing the beatdown on Kay and Royce.

Charlotte vs Peyton Royce

During the commercial, the match started and Peyton Royce had the knees up to take control. Royce went for another knee but missed. The Iiconcs once again tried to distract the referee to get cheap offence in, but Charlotte caught her.

The Iiconics double teamed on her and the match ended in DQ.

They continued the beatdown but Charlotte double speared them and evened the odds, single handedly smashing their heads on the commentary table.

Charlotte finishes Kay in short order with a natural selection.

Charlotte Flair def. Billie Kay

Flair seems to be extra cocky and challenges Peyton Royce to a fight. Kay seems to tell her to go fight her, but Royce appears to have second thoughts.

Charlotte Flair vs Billie Kay

The Queen starts strong. She almost locks in the Figure-4 but sends Kay out. A momentary distraction from Peyton Royce allows Kay to hit the big boot on the outside. Kay starts taking control of the match
