Survivor Series Teams Shake-Up
Oh, how quickly things change. Just last week it looked like WWE Champion CM Punk would be captaining a squad of Superstars against Mick Foley’s hand-selected team in a Traditional Survivor Series Elimination Tag Team Match, and now The Second City Saint is gearing up for a title defense at WWE’s fall classic against both John Cena and former Team Foley member Ryback.
Thanks to the head-spinning turn of events facilitated by Raw Managing Supervisor Vickie Guerrero (with a gentle nudge from WWE Chairman Mr. McMahon) on the Nov. 5 edition of Raw, both teams have undergone radical transformations. Team Punk has replaced two members, starting at the top, and is now known as Team Ziggler, while Team Foley finds itself in need of a fifth member.
The alterations for the former Team Punk began when original team member The Miz criticized The Second City Saint’s leadership, or lack thereof, and informed Paul Heyman that he wanted no part of the WWE Champion’s unit.
Still thinking Punk would be a team captain come Nov. 18, Heyman aggressively sought out the services of Wade Barrett, who agreed to join in exchange for a yet-to-be-named favor from Heyman.
With his team seemingly at full capacity once more, Punk then had the ultimate rug pulled out from beneath him when Vickie announced that the WWE Championship will be defended at Survivor Series against both Ryback and Cena in a Triple Threat Match.
Sensing an urgent need to rebuild the Survivor Series teams, The Queen Diva subsequently moved Dolph Ziggler into position as the team’s new captain — a development that delighted The Showoff. Meanwhile, the rest of the former Team Punk — Alberto Del Rio and The Rhodes Scholars — remains intact, for now.

Booker T Announces Tag Team Tournament
Team Hell No’s first defense of the WWE Tag Team Championships on a pay-per-view will happen Oct. 28 at WWE Hell in a Cell, but Kane & Daniel Bryan will have to wait a little while longer before finding out who their opponents will be.
Thanks to an earth-shattering announcement by General Manager Booker T on the Sept. 28 edition of SmackDown, the No. 1 contenders to the WWE Tag Team Champions will be determined via an eight-team tournament that will play out over the next several weeks.
WWE’s tag team division is arguably the deepest it has been in years, and the tournament format will provide a natural process of attrition. Whether the winning pair will ultimately have the tools necessary to exploit the obvious fault lines in Team Hell No’s exterior, however, remains to be seen.
The bracket revealed on SmackDown showed the following first-round matchups: Team Rhodes Scholars (Cody Rhodes & Damien Sandow) vs. Jimmy & Jey Uso; Santino Marella & Zack Ryder vs. Justin Gabriel & Tyson Kidd; former champions Kofi Kingston & R-Truth vs. The Prime Time Players (Darren Young & Titus O’Neil); and Epico & Primo vs. Rey Mysterio & Sin Cara.
The newly formed unit of Rhodes & Sandow put away The Usos in the first bout of the tournament on the very same night it was set up. With one team down, seven duos remain in contention.

Cody Rhodes Avoids Suspension
Cody Rhodes failed a WWE Wellness Test but was able to provide valid documentation from a physician that nullified the suspension and strike. The reason he wasn’t on WWE TV this week is because he’s been in Turkey doing promo work for the company.

Cody Rhodes Comments on How He Will Reach the Top of WWE, Wrestlers Coasting in WWE, What Inspired IC Belt Change, More
WWE Intercontinental champion Cody Rhodes says he anticipates reaching the top of WWE because he doesn't see many others in the WWE locker room at his level of dedication and commitment.
"I guarantee you I'm going to make it to the top of this job because I don't think many people here do that any more. Actually, there's very few," Rhodes told Brian Soscia of Mix 106.1 Philadelphia promoting this weekend's Smackdown tour.
Rhodes prefaced his statement by saying the best career advice he received was from Shawn Michaels, who told him getting over and staying over is a full-time job. Rhodes noted many WWE stars are content with riding the middle and coasting to obtain a "good life," but he plans to push to the top.
Throughout the 15-minute interview, Rhodes spoke from a perspective that his mindset is to differentiate his character in a variety of ways. Rhodes said he did not wear kneepads to avoid looking like his father, Dusty Rhodes.
Not wearing kneepads put a lot of pressure on Cody's knees, though, so he began wearing the pads for support. Rhodes also said he felt not wearing kneepads to bug people "wasn't a money-making way to get heat."
Rhodes also talked about working with a mask, bringing back the classic Intercontinental Title belt, and the amount of time and money he puts into his ring gear.

Cody Rhodes Comments on his Face Mask
"It's funny because things in sports entertainment get misconstrued. What we do is entertainment, but what happened with me was a little bit more than that. My nose was legitimately broken, my septum was horribly deviated, but it was the most lucky break I guess I ever had. I'm definitely not afraid to take it off and I've enjoyed the few times I've gotten away with taking it off and I can see it being around for a while, but not so much a major fixture of myself. I'm trying to make it like Triple H; he's got his sledgehammer and I've got my mask."
