Another great episode of SmackDown Live! Stay tuned for the latest from Talking Smack
Edge is back in the WWE ring along with AJ Styles, Dean Ambrose, Bray Wyatt, Randy Orton, Shane McMahon and James Ellsworth.
Ellsworth asks Edge if he'll do a 5-second pose with him but Styles interjects and asks Edge to ask a question to someone who matters. Edge turns to Orton and asks why he's joining the Wyatt Family and if Bray Wyatt needs to pull his string to make him talk.
Bray reveals that the old Randy Orton is dead and the world would see a much more dangerous Orton at Survivor Series.
Shane McMahon says that SmackDown Live was the fans team and they'd all have to co-exist. Styles replies that'd he already made a compromise by agreeing to team up with a hothead like Dean Ambrose and he threatens not to play nice at Survivor Series as The Undertaker's gong hits!
The Undertaker makes his way down the ring and stares off against Shane McMahon as the crowd lose their collective minds.
Taker says that there couldn't be a better commissioner of SmackDown Live than the man who knows no fear - Shane McMahon. Taker says that he's back taking souls and kicking holes before adding that he was born at Survivor Series while SmackDown has always been his home.
He tells team SmackDown that if they fail then they'll have reason to fear The Deadman and that Team Raw had better "Rest in peace".

Shane McMahon and Daniel Bryan are out first. They take the crowd through what's in store for this episode of SmackDown Live before announcing that the episode is kicking of with Dolph Ziggler vs The Miz.
Hello and welcome to our live coverage of the 900th episode of SmackDown. We have appearances by The Undertaker and Edge scheduled tonight plus and Intercontinental Championship match between Dolph Ziggler and The Miz.
The Undertaker's much-anticipated return on tonight's SmackDown may lead to a massive match in the near future. WWE teased the possibility of a WWE superstars standing up to the Phenom and many feel it could be his next opponent.
According to reports, WWE may kickstart the Orton and Undertaker feud tonight. As Orton is now part of the Wyatt Family, WWE may have plans of a tag team match featuring the Brothers of Destruction (Kane and Undertaker) vs. Orton and Bray Wyatt. Plans of having a singles match between the Apex Predator and The Deadman are also in the works.
The selling point of tonight's SmackDown is unsurprisingly the Undertaker's much-hyped return. The Deadman would be making his first appearance ever since he beat Shane McMahon at WrestleMania 32 and the anticipation is quite high.
Undertaker is one of the most influential stars in SmackDown history, and his appearance is a fitting addition to the celebratory atmosphere. It would be interesting to see if WWE begins the build up towards Undertaker's WrestleMania 33 match and have the opponent confront the Phenom. The names currently doing the rounds are Randy Orton, AJ Styles, and not to forget, John Cena.
The second most anticipated segment of the night would see the entire SmackDown men's Survivor Series team be the guests on Edge's Cutting Edge. After SmackDown's chaotic invasion of RAW, the possibility of the red team extracting some payback are quite high.
Edge would have the tough task of maintaining order - which would obviously not happen - in a volatile setup. Will Edge get physical? Will SmackDown get the better of RAW if team red invades the blue brand? We'll have to wait and watch.
The Miz gets another chance to reclaim his lost title in a rematch for the Intercontinental title against Dolph Ziggler. The winner of this match would go on to face Sami Zayn for the title at Survivor Series in a cross-brand match.
The match is expected to be a five-star classic, something that the two have gotten accustomed to putting out off late. Will the Show-off retain and set up a face vs. face clash against Sami Zayn or will Miz shock the world by winning the title again?
The SmackDown Women's team captain Nikki Bella is set to take on her teammate and rival Carmella. The growing tension between the two, team mentor Natalya's ambitions and the roles of other teammates make for interesting subplots in the match.
With the cut-throat competition in the SmackDown tag team division, the survival of the Survivor Series teams is up in the air. Breezango were the final team to qualify last week, and it will be intriguing to see what WWE do to amp up the excitement towards the match on the go-home episode of Survivor Series.
