STORY: Rain delivers perhaps the most clever strategy in Survival of the Sickest history!

But it all came together when Rain was down 4 vs 1 and Misaki Ohata attempted to quickly eliminate her only for Rain to kick out at 1! Rain was still completely fresh while all her opponents were worn down. Rain used it to her advantage and eliminated each one in one hell of a performance. Rain's partners were shocked but glad to get the victory. Rain left on her own with a smile, knowing her performance will skyrocket her up the women's rankings.

PRESTORY: Hardcore Deathmatch champ Mick Foley teams up with #1 contender Necro Butcher, former champ Abdullah the Butcher, and Foley's sometimes partner, sometimes enemy Terry Funk. The dysfunctional team will battle Raven's Flock consisting of Raven, Perry Saturn, W*NG Kanemura and Raven's new hire Toru Owashi who would be making to look an impact in a major way.

In the end, the audience was getting behind Kanemura trying to will him into an upset as he continued to battle but in the end, he fell to a low blow. Foley's team got the win and quickly left the scene. Foley defends the title against Necro at Eve of Destruction next month.

PRESTORY: Tensions mounted between enemies turned partners Jamilia Craft and Claudia after another loss last month at Halloween Havoc. The two were able to leave the arena that night without coming to blows but over the weeks that followed, the two continued to exchange words that caused arguments. The two agreed to settle their problems in the ring and agreed that once they got rid of their frustrations, they could refocus on their tag team relationship. Claudia had said she just had to know to make sure Craft still had it and called it a sort of test. The two would meet in a special attraction grudge match at Survival of the Sickest.
Jamilia Craft def. Claudia (11:04) after two consecutive belly to belly suplexes
AFTERSTORY: Craft got the big win to prove herself to Claudia. As soon as the match was over, Craft helped Claudia to her feet and they embraced. They raised each other's arms to an ovation from the crowd. The two shook hands as Claudia again said to Craft that she just had to know. So it looks like whatever problems that rose between the two have been settled as they agreed to resume their tag team as they left.

Daizee & Meiko recruited Queen's Cup standout Ayumi Kurihara and the legendary Manami Toyota to complete their team. Mariko comprised her team of the debuting Nanae Takahashi, the always dangerous Yumi Ohka, and the returning Takako Inoue. A strong lineup promised a spectacular match!

PRESTORY: The Big Show brings in his stablemates from the Faithful to do Survival of the Sickest battle against the opposition. The opposing team would be an intriguing one that would pit Randy Orton in the middle of the MUTA Alliance. Last month at Halloween Havoc, Sting laid out the Big Show following his match with Orton and it seemed that Orton gained Sting's respect at Cyber Saturday. It led to Sting gathering up longtime partner Kabuki and a little bit more reluctant Great Muta to form their team alongside Orton for what promised to be an interesting battle.

It led to Survival of the Sickest where the two would form teams to face off against one another.

Angel is not taking the loss lightly and has sworn she isn't done with Mercedes quite yet. Meanwhile, the Beautiful People were in disbelief over their loss considering it was they who delivered a clean sweep in last year's semi-main event. TBP demanded a match with Jessica, Su Yung, and Sumie Sakai that will take place at Eve of Destruction.

PRESTORY: The unstoppable Midnight Express would join up with associates Dennis Condrey & Dr. Death to go to war with one of their biggest longtime rivals Genichiro Tenryu and the Power Warrior, who would team up with the Road Warriors for Survival of the Sickest. Tenryu & Power Warrior have been wanting one more shot at the Midnights while the Road Warriors would like to earn a shot themselves.

Despite being in a 3 on 1 situation, he persevered and took down the tag team champions in the end. It's definitely a huge statement made as they look towards another shot at the titles in the future. With the tournament and beat the clock on the horizon, they'll have multiple ways to earn a shot but this win here could provide them a shot in early 2013 should the Midnights hang on through the end of the year.

PRESTORY: Halloween Havoc saw Rey Mysterio pull out an upset victory in a fatal four way bout. His opponents weren't happy and took umbrage with Rey's victory. Former champ Austin Aries, Christopher Daniels, and Alex Shelley all put a beating on Rey until he was saved by Billy Kidman, Sin Cara, and Prince Devitt.

Victoria formed her team with Beth Phoenix, on-again off-again partner/enemy Angelina Love and she managed to convince the always volatile Amazing Kong to finalize her team.

PRESTORY: The Horsemen's rivalry with Brian Pillman and Big Bubba Rogers has been raging for quite some time now and Survival of the Sickest would promise a showdown of two sides. Ric Flair led his Horsemen team of Windham, Jarrett, and Tully with Arn Anderson shouting encouragment from ringside into battle against Pillman & Big Bubba and their selected partners, Hulk Hogan and John Cena! Pillman chose Hogan knowing his history with the Horsemen while Hogan himself suggested Cena, saying he saw a spark in him in their match at Cyber Saturday. Cena's no stranger to the Horsemen himself, having led a team to victory over them a year ago in the main event of Survival of the Sickest. Of course that was a different incarnation of the group and now Pillman was on Cena's side. The Horsemen have kept things interesting all year and now everything has led to this battleground.

*Cena eliminated Jarrett (41:47) via STF submission
Survivors: Brian Pillman, Big Bubba Rogers, Hulk Hogan, & John Cena
AFTERSTORY: Much like last year, only over a longer period of time, John Cena wiped out the Horsemen! It looks like Hulk Hogan was right about the choice to pick Cena for their team. Needless to say, the Horsemen have not been happy coming out of the event and they're already looking to come up with ways for retribution.

PRESTORY: One of the most anticipated bouts of the evening along with the Horsemen's battle, was the rematch from the Great American Bash's War Games taking place under elimination rules. The match was considered a real main event of the show as the two teams of four that have been going at it all year prepared for battle once more. Kana, Madison Eagles, Sara Del Rey, and Tomoka Nakagawa vs Gail Kim, Ayako Hamada, Serena Deeb, & Jessie McKay would happen at Survival of the Sickest!

Survivors: Kana, Sara Del Rey, Tomoka Nakagawa
AFTERSTORY: Kana is absolutely deadly. She came in with a specific gameplan and thatw as her aim was to once again take out her nemesis Gail Kim, who she injured back in September, and to take out Ayako Hamada, who handed Kana her first defeat at the Ultimate Encounter. Kana did both those things with vicious head kicks that knocked Gail and Hamada right out. Serena Deeb was able to get one huge elimination in on Eagles before also falling to Kana followed by McKay. The end result was Kana, Del Rey, Nakagawa, and Eagles leaving as the winners, much like they left War Games. Unhappy about the way Gail and Hamada went down, Serena has made the brave decision to challenge Kana to a singles match at Eve of Destruction.

Punk declared he would lead a team at Survival of the Sickest against an Austin-led team where if Punk's team won then he would get one more shot at the world title. Punk chose Sid and Chris Jericho for his team, two men that have history with Austin, especially Jericho. Punk promised a mystery final partner that he ended up revealing as Brock Lesnar. Austin's team would consist of himself and three former FPR World Champions - Triple H, the Rock, and the Undertaker. A lot on the line in the Survival of the Sickest finale!
