John Cena entered “Piper’s Pit” with “Rowdy” Roddy Piper
“Rowdy” Roddy Piper has never shied away from controversy, so WWE fans weren’t exactly surprised when Hot Rod flat-out asked John Cena if the WWE Universe’s boos were starting to get to him. Always cool under pressure, the Cenation leader refused to gripe and instead insisted that he can’t control the way the crowd reacts, but he can control what happens in the ring. Cena’s honorable response did not convince Piper, who made it clear that if the powerful Superstar doesn’t face his critics before WrestleMania, he may suffer for it. The Scotsman then added an exclamation to his statement by handing the former WWE Champion his Hall of Fame ring before slapping him across the face.
The Miz def. John Morrison in a Falls Count Anywhere Match
Once the WWE Tag Team Champions, The Miz and John Morrison have argued for years over who became the Marty Jannetty of the pair. The WWE Universe may have received the answer to that question tonight. Bashing JoMo’s leg with a steel pipe before The Prince of Parkour even entered the ring, The Awesome One got a big advantage early and proceeded to punish his opponent with a kendo stick. Although he battled valiantly, Morrison was deemed unable to compete after being knocked for a loop by a Skull Crushing Finale on the entrance ramp — the same maneuver The Miz used to put R-Truth out of action last Monday.
United States Champion Dolph Ziggler def. Randy Orton
Get ready for some endless braggadocio. After scoring a surprise victory over Randy Orton, the arrogant Dolph Ziggler looked ready to grab his iPhone and start Tweeting about his triumph, but the United States Champion’s win wasn’t exactly hard-fought. Distracted by his rival Wade Barrett who was sitting in on commentary, WWE’s Apex Predator took his eyes off his prey for a split-second and ended up falling victim to a Zig Zag. It was arguably a cheap victory, but that didn’t’ stop Ziggler from celebrating with, of all things, a headstand.

Zack Ryder def. Jack Swagger
The “Ryder Revolution” continued unabated in Columbia as The “Woo Woo Woo Kid” fist pumped his way to victory over the dangerous Jack Swagger. With that win, Ryder looked one step closer to receiving his United States Championship Match with Dolph Ziggler.

WWE Champion CM Punk def. Alberto Del Rio
The Mexican Aristocrat didn’t think CM Punk was going to go down that easy, did he? Barely one week into his reign as WWE Champion, The Straight Edge Superstar defended his title in a bout where he would have lost the championship had he been disqualified. Attempting to take advantage of this stipulation, Del Rio removed a turnbuckle pad and brought a steel chair into the ring. But the WWE Champion had his opponent scouted and tossed the foreign object before sending the underhanded Superstar headfirst into the exposed turnbuckle for the cunning win.

WWE SURVIVOR SERIES United States Champion Dolph Ziggler def. John Morrison
retained his title despite a game effort from John Morrison. But the showoff was humbled by 
The build-up to Ziggler’s title defense against JoMo was not without controversy. The match was announced this week on WWE.com despite the popular Twitter petition of Internet Champion Zack Ryder, who was angling for a title match himself.
The request was not accepted by Executive Vice President of Talent Relations and Interim Raw General Manager John Laurinaitis and the sold-out Madison Square Garden crowd sounded off on the issue, chanting “We want Ryder!” during the bout. They were not disappointed, as after Ziggler’s win, Ryder stormed the ring and gave the blond egoist a quick thrashing to the cheers of the WWE Universe.
After a post-victory battering and so many recent matches, Dolph Ziggler must feel like he needs a break. However, it will be tough for him to get one with a motivated and confident Zack Ryder constantly challenging him. Will these two Superstars meet again? Tune in to Raw SuperShow Monday nights at 9/8 CT on USA Network.
WWE SURVIVOR SERIES Team Barrett def. Team Orton (Traditional Survivor Series Elimination Tag Team Match)
Elimination Tag Team Match. Team Barrett went into the battle with Intercontinental Champion Cody Rhodes, Jack Swagger, Hunico and United States Champion Dolph Ziggler. Team Orton brought Sheamus, Mason Ryan,
Tag Team Champion Kofi Kingston and Sin Cara to the fight.The action started with
But Team Orton then lost a member of its own when Sin Cara was left unable to compete after suffering a ruptured patella tendon while leaping from the ring to the arena floor
When the action resumed following Sin Cara’s injury,
With emotions running high, Sheamus was disqualified for repeatedly kneeing Swagger in the head and refusing to heed the ref’s call to stop. After being disqualified, Sheamus blasted Swagger again for good measure – leaving the door open for Orton to eliminate Swagger, making it 3-1.
Despite the odds against him, a fired up Viper stood his ground and did not back down from his foes. Backed into a corner, The Viper showed his fangs, eliminating Hunico with a mid-air RKO.
But the odds were too much to overcome, even for WWE’s Apex Predator. After Orton dropped
With the historic win, Barrett’s name will now be mentioned among some of WWE’s greats, who also made history at Survivor Series. In 1990, Undertaker made his dark presence known. And in 1996, The Rock debuted in MSG, where he was the sole Survivor for his team.
And despite his loss, Orton still boasts one of the most prolific histories ever at Survivor Series, including his 2004 and 2005 appearances, when he was sole Survivor for his team.

Still, there wasn’t a single move in the Mexican Superstar’s arsenal that could have stopped WWE’s antihero. Rearranging Del Rio’s good looks with his tattooed fists, Punk beat the aristocrat to the canvas before cinching in an Anaconda Vise that was so unforgiving it may have very well put the champion in the hospital had he not submitted first.

Earlier this year, when Punk returned to WWE after leaving the company in controversial fashion, he said he did so because it was the only way he could bring about change. Now that the spotlight is on him, let’s see what The “Voice of the Voiceless” can do.
WWE SURVIVOR SERIES Big Show def. World Heavyweight Champion Mark Henry (Disqualification)
left Survivor Series with the World Heavyweight Championship. The World’s Strongest Man managed to get himself disqualified and salvage his title after a cowardly low-blow to Big Show, but Henry paid a serious price for his spineless act. After the match, Henry tried to reinjure The World’s Largest Athlete, just as he did at Money in the Bank, but Big Show turned the tables and instead used the champion’s own tactics against him. Although he didn’t leave
Following their titanic confrontation at WWE Vengeance last month – which ended in a No Contest after the ring collapsed – WWE officials made the decision to reinforce the squared circle at Survivor Series. Big Show ensured the ring’s stability before the match by running the ropes and jumping up and down. While the added support increased the chances of the ring staying upright, it would do little to stop the shockwaves from both Superstars trading blows, shaking all of
Literally the biggest rivalry in WWE, the conflict between Big Show and Mark Henry has endured for months, and only intensified at Money in the Bank in July when Henry inducted Big Show into the infamous Hall of Pain, leaving The World’s Largest Athlete sidelined until October. After Big Show’s return, the almost 900-pound combined weight of both ring warriors prevented The World’s Largest Athlete from finding retribution at Vengeance .
It was fitting for The World’s Largest Athlete to battle The World’s Strongest Champion inside The World’s Most Famous Arena, and the two titans certainly did not disappoint. Each Superstar channeled his inner rage and deep-seeded aggression toward one another. The highly-competitive match went back and forth, with both Superstars coming very close to victory. At one point, it looked as though Henry would win by count-out after slamming Big Show through the barricade at ringside. After returning to the ring before the count of 10, Big Show built a great deal of momentum, and even ascended to the top-rope to execute a massive elbow drop. At this point, Henry decided it was better to save his World Heavyweight Title, dodging the Weapon of Mass Destruction and intentionally low-blowed his rival, causing a disqualification.
Big Show’s ultimate act of retribution may have caused Henry to require assistance leaving the squared circle, but has he only further enraged the World Heavyweight

NEW YORK — A hallowed institution situated at the core of the Big Apple, Madison Square Garden has bore a dynasty of cherished WWE moments – Jimmy Snuka’s steel cage-top leap, the WWE Title bout that sparked Hulkamania in 1984, The Game’s exultant return from injury in 2002 and so many more. Add to that list the night “The Most Charismatic Tag Team of All Time” came to The Mecca of Sports-Entertainment to put aside their approaching WrestleMania XXVIII dream match and instead put boots to the asses of The “Awesome Truth.” Though John

and John Cena, arguably the biggest stars in the WWE Universe, stand aligned. But the single instance in which they did – collectively deconstructing The Miz & R-Truth at Survivor Series in The World’s Most Famous Arena – will be remembered by the WWE Universe forever. More so, The Cenation Commander-in-Chief won’t soon forget the emphatic Rock Bottom he received after the match from his teammate and archrival. Worldwide, droves of WWE fans, Superstars, Legends – literally everyone – wondered how the Cenation leader and The Great One could possibly keep it together. Precisely 133 nights before their rock of ages collision at The Show of Shows on April 1, the vast, clash-ready personalities of The Rock and Cena paired to combat a reckless, riotous twosome hell-bent on eclipsing the ’Mania-bound icons.
As the
This unlikely union was forged seven years after Cena (at his first-ever WrestleMania) and The Rock passed like two vessels in the night, much like the NYC buses featuring their iconic faces in the streets outside the Garden. When offered a teammate of his choosing by Interim Raw General Manager John Laurinaitis, The Cenation Commander-in-Chief did the unthinkable, selecting a man who hadn’t seen competition since his last match in 2004, ironically, inside MSG. In the end, it seemed Cena picked the right tag team partner after all.
Fueled by the entwined lineage of his family and the Garden, The Great One returned home at Survivor Series. At the same annual event in which his WWE career was born in 1996, The People’s Champion reignited his thirst for serving smackdown and the timing couldn’t be better. In mere months, his teammate tonight will turn to rival in the most highly anticipated match in WrestleMania history.
Despite a shared victory in
What unique yet intersecting Roads to WrestleMania will The Great One and the Cenation leader trace to April 1? Time tells all.
