Maddox says Vickie’s big suggestion on RAW was to put Randy Orton, the face of the company and WWE Champion, in a handicap match. Vickie says Maddox is right about one thing – she made a suggestion, but Maddox is the General Manager of Monday Night RAW, and Kane is the Director of Operations. They both could have overruled her, but they didn’t. This Monday, she isn’t the one in trouble. It’s Maddox and Kane, and she cannot wait to watch the two of them squirm. Vickie then cackles.

Alberto Del Rio challenges John Cena to an Arm Wrestling Challenge
Michael Cole is in the ring alongside a folding table with orange paper and some pads on it. Cole leads us into a recap of what happened on Monday Night RAW with John Cena and Alberto Del Rio. Del Rio wrapped Cena’s arm in a folding chair and applied the Cross Arm Breaker. Cole first introduces the man who will challenge for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship at Survivor Series, Alberto Del Rio. Mexico’s greatest export comes out to the ring waving the Mexican flag around. Del Rio gets on the microphone, and he says he is proud to be the greatest athlete in Mexican history. He’s proud of his history, just like he’s proud of what he did to Cena on RAW. Cena had that coming when he stole his title from him. Unlike Cena, he doesn’t steal things. He earns them. It’s ok because at Survivor Series, he will get his title back. That day, he will be the challenger, but at the end of their match, he will be the champion one more time. Del Rio then asks if John Cena is going to accept his challenge to an arm wrestling match. Del Rio wants his answer right now.
John Cena makes his way to the ring to a great reception. His left arm is heavily wrapped up, and he isn’t moving it around much at all. Cena says he loves coming to Manchester because there are so many John Cena fans. They boo, and Cena says his fans are stuck in traffic. They have a great crowd, though. Superman is there, and he shows the guy who was dressed as Superman last night. Cena says Superman let himself go. The Man of Steel looks like a toothpick. Then we have Del Rio, who calls him a thief while he is the greatest athlete in Mexican history. Cena says Del Rio got him, but those were the actions of a desperate man. Del Rio realizes his time is running out. Del Rio used to be the World Champ, but now the Champ is here. When he beats Del Rio at Survivor Series, the only thing he’ll be left with is his hands on his flagpole. Cena asks if they want a little more action. Cena says they have the audience, they have the announcer, they have the referee, and they have the table. Cena asks the guy who is dressed as Superman in the crowd if they should have an arm wrestling match. Superman approves. Cena says Del Rio tried to break his arm on Monday. His left arm is bad and the right one is good. Now Cena is going to break Del Rio’s arm.
They take some time to set up before the referee tells them to go. Cena immediately pins Del Rio’s arm down in half a second. Del Rio cannot believe it, and he says he wasn’t ready. Del Rio wants to go again, so Cena obliges him. A “Let’s Go Cena; Cena Sucks” chant breaks out. They go to lock hands, but Cena stands up and does the “You Can’t See Me” gesture. They finally sit down, and the referee tells them to go. Cena pins the arm down, but Del Rio punches him in the side of the head. Del Rio kicks him in the arm before kicking him directly in the forehead. Del Rio takes a folding chair and folds it over Cena’s good arm. Cena punches out and swings the chair at Del Rio, but he misses. Del Rio shoulders him in the corner before Cena pushes him off. Cena then charges into a spinebuster through the table! Del Rio yells at the crowd before taking off his shirt and putting it on top of Cena. Del Rio does the “You Can’t See Me” taunt before walking off.
Later tonight, we’ll see CM Punk and Daniel Bryan take on Curtis Axel and Ryback in the main event. The Bella Twins are seen walking backstage. They’ll be in action, next.

Renee Young is backstage with CM Punk and Daniel Bryan. Young mentions that they will face The Wyatt Family at Survivor Series before saying they’ve both had their own experiences with a Wyatt Family beat down. Young asks if the obstacle of the Wyatt Family has brought them together, and they answer, “Yes.” Young then asks if it is fair to say the WWE has never seen a team like the Wyatt Family, and they answer, “Yes” again. Bryan says there is nobody in the world that they Wyatts can’t beat up three-on-one. When you team up “The Beard” with “The Best” it’s a whole different ballgame. Punk says he likes their team name. Bray Wyatt doesn’t like it. For all of his idiosyncrasies, he’s put together a frightening family. Nobody knows anything about Harper or Rowan except that they’re dangerous swamp monsters. They’re not looking past anybody, but they are looking to go through them at Survivor Series. When they do that, they’ll get their hands on Bray Wyatt. The easiest way to kill a snake is to cut off its head. Now they’re going to take care of Paul Heyman’s goons.
