Daniel Bryan announced earlier in the night on Facebook that qualifying matches would begin to establish the teams in the 10-on-10 Traditional Survivor Series Tag Team Elimination Match, alongside SmackDown Tag Team Champions Heath Slater & Rhyno, who were automatically entered. The first match would pit The Hype Bros against The Ascension.
Konnor and Viktor attempted to overpower Zack Ryder and Mojo Rawley, but in the end they could not just stay quite hype enough, with Ryder and Rawley finishing Viktor off with The Hype Ryder for the victory and to qualify to take on Raw at the WWE’s fall classic.
