[edit] Background
It was revealed on the October 29, 2012 edition of Raw that a team formed by Mick Foley will take on a team formed by CM Punk in a traditional 5-on-5 Survivor Series elimination match.
Later that night, the teams were announced. For Team Punk - team captain CM Punk, The Miz, Team Semmler Scholars (Mark Semmler and Damien Sandow), and Alberto Del Rio. For Team Foley - Jose Serrano, Team Hell No (Kane and Kody Brown), Kevin McAlmond, and Ryback, with Foley serving as ringside captain. At Hell in a Cell, all 10 participants had matches. First Del Rio lost to Orton in a singles match. Semmler and Sandow defeated Team Hell No via disqualification, but did not win the IWE Tag Team Championship. The Miz unsuccessfully challenged Serrano for the IWE Intercontinental Championship. However, the match at Survivor Series is centered on the feud between the IWE champion CM Punk and Ryback. At the PPV Ryback lost after the referee Brad Maddox low-blowed him, followed by a fast count to give Punk the pinfall victory. Ryback then took out his frustration on Punk and Maddox, first press-slamming Maddox out of the ring into the side of the cell, then chasing Punk to the top of the cell, where Ryback caught him and hit his finishing move, Shell Shocked. On the November 5 episode of Raw the match was changed, as The Miz quit the team due to Punk abandoning his team in an attack by Team Foley and Lynn Lehr was forced to remove Punk and Ryback in favour of making another match involving them, team captain, CM Punk, was replaced by Dolph Ziggler by Lynn (with the team also being renamed Team Ziggler) and The Miz was replaced by Wade Barrett after being recruited by Paul Heyman before Punk was removed from the match, Ryback's replacement however was left up to the IWE Universe with a RAWactive poll with the choices being The Miz, Santino Marella, and Zack Nuss.
The event will also feature a rematch from Hell in a Cell between Sheamus and The Big Show for the World Heavyweight Championship, with former champion Sheamus invoking his rematch clause.
The event will also feature a triple threat match for the IWE Championship, in which CM Punk will defend his title against Ryback and Dustin Simpson. The story lines over the past two months were played on to hype this match as it was focused on the fact that Ryback was screwed out of his match with Punk at Hell in a Cell and Punk fought Simpson to a draw at Night of Champions. The match was announced after IWE Chairman, Vince Woodward, question Lynn Lehr's decision to place Punk in a match in which he doesn't need to defend his title and can hide behind several partners.
3MB was initially scheduled to face International Airstrike in the pre-show available free on YouTube, but IA was later exchanged for Team Co-Bro.
Mark Semmler was initially a member of Team Ziggler but was replaced with David Mahrt due to injury.
[edit] Summary
The final event was interrupted by the invasion of the trio of Dean Ambrose, Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins who assaulted Ryback, resulting in CM Punk retaining the IWE Championship.
