Adam Pearce removed Rey Mysterio from the Raw team at WWE Survivor Series after he lost to Bobby Lashley.
For the second week in a row, the WWE official punished a member of the Mysterio family after putting them in a match with the All Mighty, and he replaced the legendary luchador with Austin Theory.
Earlier in the night, Rey had complained about what happened with Dominik last week, which led to Pearce booking him against Lashley in the main event.
Dominik was at ringside for the match as his dad took on the former WWE Champion in a good bout which was just a little sloppy at times.
Thankfully, Mysterio is one of the absolute best of all time (and Bobby is no slouch) and they were more than capable of adjusting on the fly to keep the match on track.
In the end, Lashley got the win after Rey hit the 619 and a splash, only to be stood right up into the Hurt Lock.
Pearce came out to remove Rey from the Raw team – just like his son last week – only for Austin Theory to appear and attack Dominik from behind.
The official was impressed by his style, and decided the former NXT star would be at Survivor Series in Rey’s place.
Liv Morgan stands up to Becky Lynch, The Usos attack Big E and Kevin Owens beats Finn Balor
Big E kicked off the show addressing The Bloodline’s assaults on Sir Kofi Kingston and King Xavier Woods as he vowed to get revenge on Roman Reigns at Survivor Series.
He then called out Kevin Owens, who came out and admitted he snapped after the WWE Champion cost him his recent match against Seth Rollins and branded him a liar.
He insisted everything that happens is E’s fault, and walked away when the New Day man made a challenge, only for The Usos to ambush Big E on the ramp.
Riddle saved him, with Sonya Deville making a tag match which was decent enough, but only lasted until Seth Rollins left the commentary desk and got involved, causing a DQ.
Randy Orton made the save to turn this into a six-man tag match, but Rollins was able to hit a elbow shot and roll up the Original Bro for the win.
Backstage, Bianca Belair referenced Survivor Series and addressed Doudrop’s recent actions, before Tamina appeared and set up a match.
Before that, KO admitted to lying and got interrupted by Finn Balor, who said he doesn’t trust Owens as they agreed to their own bout later on.
Bianca Belair beat Tamina with the K.O.D. in a fine clash, before Doudrop came out and insisted she wouldn’t take advantage tonight, but she’s coming for the EST of WWE after Survivor Series.
Becky Lynch came out to respond to Charlotte Flair, as she blasted her former friend and the way things have gone between them, vowing to beat the ‘ever living p**s’ out of her on Sunday.
Liv Morgan interrupted, sharing a moment with Lynch who claimed she should have won the title while she was gone before she won’t get her hands on it now. Liv called Big Time Becks a ‘big time b*h’, and countered a Man Handle Slam as the Raw Women’s Champion left the ring.
The Street Profits beat Alpha Academy in a brilliant tag team bout which managed to shine despite the number of times we’ve seen this combination on SmackDown this year.
Chad Gable and Otis looked great here even in defeat, while Angelo Dawkins and Montez Ford held their own against two fantastic grapplers.
Zelina Vega beat Nikki A.S.H. with a Code Red before Rhea Ripley defeated Carmella immediately after, before Queen Zelina teased Nikki and implied she was the weak link while calling Rhea’s win a fluke.
Kevin Owens beat Finn Balor in an absolutely wonderful bout between two stars who know each other so well.
It was then time for tag team action, as AJ Styles and Omos – with the latter carrying the bulk of the match for his team – beat Dolph Ziggler and Robert Roode.
*WWE Raw airs Monday nights at 1am on BT Sport 1.
