SURVIVOR SERIES
Undertaker Vs Big Show
Results:Beantown burial
BOSTON -Undertaker defeated Big Show in his trademark, a Casket Match, at the event that debuted The Phenom's career - Survivor Series - to deny The World's Largest Athlete the victory he claimed he would earn at the pay-per-view.
Using everything in his arsenal, including a leg drop through the announce table, Undertaker sealed the victory by closing the casket. Big Show did seem to have the match won early, but his reluctance to touch the casket to close the lid gave Undertaker the opening he needed to gain momentum. When Big Show tried to escape the arena, a burst of flames prevented him from doing so, and the Druids brought a second casket to the ramp.
After a short battle of the two imposing forces on the ramp, Undertaker was able to throw Big Show into the casket to earn the win.
What does this win mean for Undertaker, who has been embroiled in a heated rivalry with Big Show since The World's Largest Athlete attacked The Phenom at Unforgiven? Will Big Show's loss put him at odds with SmackDown General Manager Vickie Guerrero , keeping him from achieving his goal of becoming WWE Champion?
Edge def. WWE Champion Triple H & Vladimir Kozlov (Triple Threat Match)
Results:To Hell and back
BOSTON – In front of a capacity crowd in the TD Banknorth Garden, Edge stunned the WWE Universe by returning from Hell to become the new WWE Champion, defeating former champion Triple H and Vladimir Kozlov as a late entrant in the Triple Threat Match.
With Jeff Hardy out of action after being found unconscious in the stairwell of his Boston hotel earlier in the morning, Kozlov and Triple H battled each other one-on-one. Just when it looked like the champion had Kozlov where he wanted him with a hard-hitting Pedigree, SmackDown General Manager Vickie Guerrero interrupted the match to announce that it would indeed be Triple Threat – with Edge as the third competitor.
The WWE Universe had not seen any sign of life from Edge since Undertaker sent him to Hell at SummerSlam in a Hell in a Cell Match. But on this night, he was full of energy and unleashed on The Game with a vicious spear. Next, Hardy shocked the WWE Universe by running into the ring and attacking Edge. Then, Hardy jumped out of the ring to get a steel chair. He returned, knocking both Triple H and Kozlov to the canvas with angst-ridden chair shots to the head. A fired-up Edge took down Hardy with a spear. After the carnage, the Ultimate Opportunist capitalized, covering Triple H for the win.
Coincidently, the last time Edge won the WWE Championship was in a Triple Threat Match on Raw in July 2006, when he defeated John Cena and Rob Van Dam.
Edge’s victory ended the 12th reign of The King of Kings, who has held the WWE Championship since April.
The stunning course of events leaves the WWE Universe asking some compelling questions.
Exactly what happened to Hardy in his hotel? What will Triple H do to try and regain the gold? And what is the state of the relationship between SmackDown General Manager Vickie Guerrero and her husband, Edge? Finally, how will Kozlov react to not winning the coveted gold he has been seeking?
Things are sure to be very interesting on Friday Night SmackDown.
John Cena Vs. Chris Jericho 
Results:The Champ is back!
BOSTON – After months spent recovering from emergency neck surgery, John Cena’s return to the ring was a triumphant one, as he defeated Chris Jericho at Survivor Series to win his first-ever World Heavyweight Championship.
For months, Chris Jericho reigned over Raw as World Heavyweight Champion, repelling challenges from dominant Superstars such as Shawn Michaels Batista, and CM Punk, walking away victorious from matches as varied as a Championship Scramble, Steel Cage Matches and even a brutal Ladder Match. But at Survivor Series, all of the first-ever Undisputed Champion’s trickery and deviousness came to naught as he was confronted with the sheer power and ferocity of a returning John Cena, who slammed Jericho with a thunderous FU before ultimately pinning his opponent for the win.
The entire WWE Universe sat in suspense the night of Survivor Series, eager for John Cena to return, but concerned for his medical condition so soon after going under the knife. Following a match against Batista at Summer Slam, Cena suffered a herniated disc in his neck, necessitating emergency surgery that kept the intense ring warrior sidelined up until now. But when the three-time WWE Champion stormed into the TD Banknorth Garden in his homeground of Boston, the fears of the WWE Universe were immediately alleviated, with Cena displaying the same passion and intensity that has made him a fan-favorite and household name around the world.
With his win at WWE’s second longest-running pay-per-view, new World Heavyweight Champion John Cena has finally saved us from the arrogant posturing and treachery of Chris Jericho, and in the process proved that he is more powerful and focused on victory than ever.
Team HBK def. Team JBL Traditional (Survivor Series Elimination Match)
Results:Team HBK Survives!
BOSTON - If the Traditional Survivor Series Elimination Tag Team Match pitting Team HBK against Team JBL were a shouting contest, the Longhorn Loudmouth’s boastful bunch would have won by a country mile. Fortunately for Shawn Michaels, he and his team featuring Rey Mysterio, The Great Khali & Cryme Tyme let their in-ring talent do the talking.
In the end, only team captain Michaels, Mysterio and Khali remained sole survivors with their feet placed firmly on canvas after a contest in which participants can be eliminated by count-out, disqualification, pinfall or submission.
Even before the opening bell, Team JBL, consisting of the self-made millionaire, Kane, MVP and The Miz & John Morrison, found more beef with Team HBK than cowboys at a cattle call. All that pent up steam howled to a boil when the first two team members, JTG and MVP, stepped into the ring. After nearly 20 minutes of battle in and out of the ring, it was team captain Shawn Michaels who finally put remaining Team JBL member, Morrison, out of commission.
It remains unclear whether or not the rivalries in each case have been settled, but it’s a safe bet that none of these Superstars will be tamed anytime soon.
Results:It's RK-Over
BOSTON – Randy Orton is a deviously cunning individual, and due to that very fact, the Legend Killer was able to lead his team to victory over Team Batista at Survivor Series with he and Cody Rhodes as the only survivors.
After it was announced that The Animal and the Legend Killer, two former teammates as part of Evolution, would lead two teams against one another at Survivor Series, both men couldn’t wait to prove that they were the better man. To make things even hairier for Orton, one of his teammates was announced to be Rhodes, who has expressed nothing but hatred for Orton, including with his complaints to Stephanie McMahon when she held an open forum on Raw.
At first, it was Team Orton’s William Regal that was quickly eliminated first, giving Team Batista an early advantage. The tides slowly switched to the advantage of the Legend Killer’s team in full force as first R-Truth, and then World Tag Team Champions Kofi Kingston & CM Punk and ECW Champion Matt Hardy were all eliminated consecutively, leaving Batista at a 4-on-1 disadvantage.
The Animal was anything but down and out at this point, and he mounted a very respectable comeback. After eliminating both Mark Henry and United States Champion Shelton Benjamin, it seemed it was certain that Batista would be victorious, considering Orton and Rhodes couldn’t likely coexist. However, that was not to be the case.
All the momentum that Batista gained was put to a halt thanks to the craftiness of the Legend Killer, leading to the tides changing once again. After a devastating Batista Bomb, The Animal thought he had the pin on Rhodes, and that it would just be him against Orton one-on-one, but Batista hadn’t noticed that Orton had tagged himself in while Rhodes was hoisted up on his shoulders.
When the referee refused to count Batista’s pin on the second-generation Superstar, The Animal rose to his feet confused and as he turned around, an RKO was all the explanation he needed as his fate was sealed and the Legend Killer got the pin for the win.
On this night, Orton was the victor and secured the bragging rights from here on out in saying he is the better product of Evolution, but the question still lies as to where this leaves both he and Cody Rhodes as they were the only two men still standing.
Has the second-generation Superstar earned the Legend Killer’s respect, or was Rhodes just a pawn used on Orton’s road to victory? Also, what about Batista? Has the Legend Killer rid himself of The Animal’s wrath or will Batista come back at Orton with a ferocity unlike we’ve ever seen before?
WWE Women's Champion Beth Phoenix Sole Survivor (SmackDown vs. Raw Divas Traditional Survivor Series Elimination Tag Team Match)
Results:Phoenix rises above the rest
BOSTON – Women’s Champion Beth Phoenix reigned supreme as the sole survivor in the SmackDown vs. Raw Divas Traditional Survivor Series Elimination Tag Team Match (PHOTOS) in the spirit of SmackDown vs. Raw 2009. (Order today)
Like the latest installment of the No. 1 fighting game franchise in the world, which features never-before-seen enhanced tag team action, the match proved to be as wild as it gets. In the end, the fast-paced match came down to a one-on-one confrontation between The Glamazon and the sultry Maryse, who the champion hit with her vicious Glam Slam, leaving the Canadian beauty thriving in pain as she picked up the huge victory.
Also like the new video game phenomenon, which gives the WWE Universe the opportunity to pair Superstars who don’t normally compete together, neither Team Raw – Mickie James, Kelly Kelly, Candice Michelle & Jillian, captained by Phoenix – nor Team SmackDown – Maria, Maryse, Victoria & Natalya, captained by Divas Champion Michelle McCool – were doing battle among the usual suspects. The tension this created became evident from the opening bell, as the WWE Universe stood witness to an overabundance of Divas tagging themselves in, and at one point, a cheap shot on Michelle by Maryse as the Divas Champion was exiting the ring.
The triumph clearly demonstrates Beth Phoenix as a dominant Women’s Champion. Her performance also raises serious questions as to whether anyone will be able to take the gold from the mighty Glamazon in the near future.
Since the WWE Universe can never get enough of the Sexiest Women on Television, WWE.com features a Diva Turkey Shoot, a photo gallery showcasing the gorgeous Divas in their Thanksgiving best.
