November 13, 2009 – Sheffield, England
Announcers: Todd Grisham & Matt Striker (sub for Jim Ross)

IN THE RING
C.M. Punk: C.M. Punk said “look at what has become of the mighty United Kingdom.” Punk said they used to rule the planet, but now they are just as sad and pathetic as the Americans. Punk said they can pretend that they aren’t weak minded and their spirit isn’t broken. Punk said the people need someone like him to preach to them the proper way to live. Punk said the people should all aspire to be as great as he is. Punk said he is better than the people because his mind is free of poison and he is perfect in every way. Punk said he doesn’t need a crutch to get through every day, and he doesn’t need a crooked referee like Scott Armstrong to get ahead. Punk said he will beat R-Truth tonight, just like he will beat him at Survivor Series. Punk said R-Truth will come out and ask “what’s up?” and he will answer with “straight edge!” – adding that could save their pathetic country and the entire world.

IN THE RING (CONTRACT SIGNING)
Matt Striker + Rey Mysterio + Batista: Both men were eagar to sign the contract to face one another at Survivor Series – and did so without incident. Batista wanted Rey Mysterio to sign another document that stated Rey’s family could not sue him for what he’s going to do to him! Rey refused to sign, and Batista called him a coward hiding behind a goofy little mask. Batista ordered Rey to sign it or he would embarrass him in front of all the people. Rey actually agreed to sign the document, but knew that Batista was just trying to scare him. Rey said it would be Batista who was embarrassed at Survivor Series. Rey tipped the table over on Batista and walked away from the ring confidently. Batista took a fit and destroyed the leather chairs in the ring…
