On the blue side, the two lowest teams on the totem pole, Fabulous Truth and Ravishing Rusev Day looked to avoid elimination tonight. Truth almost left Carmella early tonight, as he attempted to get home early for Thanksgiving. Thankfully, Carmella reminded him that there was a match tonight, and he got prepared in time.
Rusev and Lana have been struggling as of late, both on the Mixed Match Challenge and SmackDown Live. Tonight, the husband and wife duo hoped to turn their luck around.

Fabulous Truth (Carmella & R-Truth) vs Ravishing Rusev Day (Lana & Rusev)
Both teams attempted to get the crowd on their sides, dividing the crowd between "What's Up," "Rusev Day" "Lana Day" "Lana is the Best" and "Dance Break" chants. Finally, the dance break chant won out, only for Rusev and Lana to bail out before it happened.
Fabulous Truth began the dance break without their opponents, which was a bit of a mistake, as Rusev and Lana attacked them from behind.
Lana and Carmella started this match off, with Lana sending Carmella around the ring with a pair of suplexes. Carmella countered the third one but was sent crashing to the mat with a hair pull. Carmella was set up in the middle rope where Lana drove her knees into the former SmackDown Women's Champion's spine.
Lana continued to beat down the Princess of Staten Island, but she was eventually able to break away. Truth almost tagged himself in, but Rusev pulled him down off the apron, dropping him head first on the side of the ring. Lana then tagged Rusev in, and the Bulgarian Brute went to work.
Rusev dominated the veteran then tagged Lana in, who went after her nearly unconscious opponent on the outside. Rusev told Lana that she was Brock Lesnar. As he continued to cheer for his wife, Truth took him out. Lana then caught Truth with a kick to the head for attacking Rusev, but the Ravishing Russian was distracted long enough for Carmella to regain her composure.
Carmella dropped Lana with a superkick, picking up the win for her team.
Results: Fabulous Truth defeated Ravishing Rusev Day via pinfall.
