Nikki won Divas No. 1 Contender’s Halloween Costume Battle Royal

With Divas Champion AJ Lee joining the SmackDown announce team, the rest of her gorgeous division dressed up for a Divas No. 1 Contender’s Costume Battle Royal.
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!

Corporate Kane def. Dolph Ziggler, Seth Rollins def. Dolph Ziggler

Los Matadores def. 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!

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

Dean Ambrose def. Cesaro in a Trick or Street Fight
With all kinds of Halloween objects in and around the ring, Dean Ambrose emerged to take on Cesaro in a “Trick or Street Fight” in SmackDown’s main event.
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.
