KickOff Show:
⚪ SmackDown's John Morrison vs. Raw's The Miz:
The heated rivalry between The Miz and John Morrison is set for the endgame on Survivor Series KickOff as the two superstars vie for brand supremacy.
Several weeks ago The Miz turned his back on John Morrison which led to the two having a match in The King Of The Ring tournament which John Morrison won. But later in that tournament, The Miz costed Morrison his match in the semi-finals which took the rivalry to a whole new level, the two then went on to face each other on an episode of Raw which The Miz won unfairly. After calling out The Miz to a match for several weeks, The Miz finally accepted Morrison's challenge to a match this past Monday on Raw.
John Morrison defeats The Miz by a Starship Pain from the apron and pinned him in the ring.
(1-0)
