It was Natalya as The Queen of Harts, Naomi as a soldier from the movie “Avatar,” Summer Rae as a schoolgirl nerd, Paige as Summer Rae, Layla as a clown, Emma as Tarzan, Rosa as a zombie nurse, Cameron as a cop, Alicia Fox as a firefighter and Nikki Bella as a black cat. Conspicuous by her absence was Nikki’s personal assistant Brie Bella, who had been sent by her sister on an errand to San Antonio while dressed as her husband Daniel Bryan.

In the final moments of the Battle Royal, an irate Alicia charged former friend Paige, causing both Divas to fall to the ringside floor. This gave Nikki the victory and made her the new No. 1 contender for AJ’s Divas Title!

Then in a rematch from Raw, Kane caught Dolph Ziggler in midair and delivered the chokeslam for the hard-fought victory. But it didn’t end there. After a post-match beatdown by The Authority executive, Joey Mercury and Jamie Noble, Kane informed Ziggler that he would have a second match against Seth Rollins!

With little left in Ziggler’s tank, Mr. Money in the Bank finished him off with a single Curb Stomp, sending a message to everyone in the locker room that it might not be a good idea to team with Cena at Survivor Series.

"Miz TV" with special guest Mark Henry: SmackDown, Oct. 31, 2014

Big Show makes sure to crash "Miz TV" when Mark Henry is the special guest.

After pointing out their own potential availability for the Traditional Survivor Series Tag Team Match, The Miz and his stunt double Damien Mizdow welcomed Mark Henry to “Miz TV.” On the subject of attacking Big Show during their WWE Tag Team Title Match on Raw, Henry ultimately put the blame on the giant — citing Big Show’s behavior in the match itself, the Rusev situation and his overall attempt to boss Henry around in recent months. As for where a conflict between them might end, Henry believed it all would come down to strength, not size.

Strength vs. Size

The World’s Largest Athlete emerged on the warpath, knocking through Miz and Mizdow to get his hands on his old friend. But The World’s Strongest Man was able to turn things around and hurled the gigantic Superstar through the ringside barricade.

Los Matadores def. Gold & Stardust

Los Matadores vs. Gold & Stardust: SmackDown, Oct. 31, 2014

Los Matadores step into the SmackDown ring with WWE Tag Team Champions Gold & Stardust.

Some might say that WWE Tag Team Champions Gold & Stardust made a small mistake when they threw El Torito into their tag team match against Fernando & Diego. When the pint-sized warrior went on the offensive, the distraction opened the door for Goldust to get rolled up for the non-title pin!

Fear the bull!

After Rusev stunned the WWE Universe by making The Great Khali tap out to the Accolade, Lana revealed that Mother Russia gave them directions to further destroy the American spirit. Rusev, in turn, promised to take Sheamus’ United States Championship and give it to Vladimir Putin.

Punjabi tap-out

Accepting the challenge, The Celtic Warrior charged into the ring and nearly blasted The Hero of the Russian Federation with a Brogue Kick.

Everything from pumpkins to candy is used in this "Trick or Street Fight" on SmackDown.

This out-of-control match, stretching both inside and outside the ring, utilized a chair, tables, the announce table, candy corn Kendo Sticks, a jack-o-lantern, buckets of candy, bobbing apples, toy skeletons and even a witch’s broom.  

In the end, Ambrose reigned supreme by putting a jack-o-lantern on his opponent’s head and delivering the Double Underhook DDT. After the win, he repeated the move one more time for good measure.
