This week's SmackDown comes to us live from the Manchester Arena in Manchester, England. After two successful episodes of SmackDown and RAW, which saw an explosive build for Survivor Series, Vince McMahon looks to continue that momentum this Friday Night on FOX.

The Blue Brand already has several things planned for the WWE Universe, as Roman Reigns takes on King Corbin this week. Furthermore, the SmackDown Tag Team Championships will be defended as The Revival go up against The New Day.

Moreover, 'The Fiend' Bray Wyatt will make his first appearance as the new Universal Champion, or as Wyatt said on the Firefly Fun House episode on WWE Backstage this week, "The new ruler of the Universe."

Also, with the current invasion angle lingering, the WWE Universe in England is surely going to get some great action. So, without further adieu, here are the three biggest things we could see on Friday Night this week.


#3 RAW Superstars invade in the match between Roman Reigns and King Corbin

It's written in the stars, isn't it? After two successful invasions from NXT, the WWE Universe is destined to witness another, only this time from RAW. Roman Reigns vs King Corbin is SmackDown's main event, but an invasion seems imminent and is almost certain to close the show in chaotic fashion.

This match was originally supposed to happen right after Crown Jewel, but due to unforeseen circumstances in Saudi Arabia, WWE was forced to reschedule the bout for this week. Therefore, there may be some alterations from how the match was previously booked.

Also, this week on RAW, we saw the Team Hogan vs Team Flair angle continue, so we might see the same happen on SmackDown. The members of Team Flair could attack Reigns, while Team Hogan members come out to make the save.

#2 Kofi Kingston turns on Big E after The Revival retain their titles

The big championship match this week on SmackDown is The Revival vs The New Day (Big E and Kofi Kingston) for the SmackDown Tag Team Championships. This is another match that was supposed to happen right after Crown Jewel, but due to difficulties getting home from Saudi Arabia, plans changed.

There is absolutely no reason to believe that WWE might actually change the SmackDown Tag Team Champions on Friday Night. First, a Triple Threat Match between The Viking Raiders, The Undisputed Era (Kyle O' Reilly and Bobby Fish), and The Revival has already been made official for Survivor Series. Since the announcement of the match has garnered positive reviews, why would Vince McMahon want to change anything?

Instead, the WWE Universe might be in for a huge shock. After losing his WWE Championship to Brock Lesnar, Kofi Kingston hasn't been at ease with himself and has threatened to snap several times.

Therefore, after The Revival beat The New Day, there is a high probability that Kingston attacks Big E and turns heel in the process. If this does happen, expect SmackDown to be the talk of the wrestling world.

#1 ' The Demon King ' comes face to face with The Fiend

Are we going to see this?

'The Demon' Finn Balor vs 'The Fiend' Bray Wyatt is what dreams are made of. Ever since The Fiend made his in-ring debut by defeating Finn Balor at SummerSlam, the WWE Universe has been waiting for a confrontation between 'The Demon King' and The Fiend.

This confrontation is bound to happen and there may be no better time than at Survivor Series, so the crowd in Manchester might be in for quite the treat this Friday. After WWE squashed the WWE Universe's hopes of seeing Brock Lesnar vs The Fiend, it's only fair that the company gives fans a dream match at Survivor Series.

The breadcrumbs for this feud have been already laid, so there's no explaining to do if Balor attacks or confronts Bray Wyatt on SmackDown. Two of WWE's most over gimmicks coming face to face this Friday Night is what's best for business, so we might just see it happen.
