Reviews/Thoughts:
Cole and Miz on commentary tonight. Video package on Ryback. Ricardo then comes out to introduce a 17-minute video package for Del Rio. Ryback comes out in the middle of the video. Ryback dominant early on. ADR focuses again on the left arm, wedging Ryback's arm between the post and the steps to deliver more damage. Ryback still pulls off the convincing win with Shellshocked.

Striker asks Ryback for thoughts on the six-man tag at the TLC PPV. Will Ryback and Team Hell No be able to co-exist? YES YES YES from Ryback.

3MB to the ring. They really would be a great fit in Vegas, wouldn't they? 3MB wants to know why they weren't invited to play at the 12/12/12 Sandy benefit concert. Oh, a taste of their first demo! They basically scream into the mic. Kidd and Gabriel come out. 2-on-3 handicap match tonight.

High flying from Kidd and Gabriel, but the numbers game plays a factor. McIntyre shoves Gabriel into the steps...ow. Gabriel isolated. Gabriel with the great agile counters to get the hot tag to Kidd. Tyson's mocking of Heath Slater should seriously become a .gif on the internet. Sharpshooter from Kidd, but McIntyre with the big foot to the face for two. Gabriel takes himself and Jinder out of the match. Drew to the outside. Kidd with a rollup for two. Kidd eats a Drew right hand, then the Smash Hit for three. Great stuff, very much worthy for Main Event.

Kane vs. Cody Rhodes advertised for next week's Main Event. Kane inadvertently injured Cody during a tag match on Main Event a few weeks back. Impressive that Rhodes healed so fast. Should be good next week.
