How is one of SmackDown Live's top performers not performing?
#1 Orton takes out Mysterio, Styles replaces him

The Viper and Mysterio have been at odds for some time
It all started when Rey Mysterio defeated Randy Orton in a singles match at Crown Jewel. Orton lay down a vicious beat down on the luchador immediately after. Since then, Orton has been hot on Mysterio's tail, laying down the RKOs. It's all too likely that he will cost Mysterio his match at Survivor Series.

Bear in mind that Mysterio is one of the five team members in the SmackDown Live Survivor Series team. When a spot opens up because Mysterio cannot compete, you can have AJ Styles step in and take his rightful place.
This could actually help even the odds for Team SmackDown as well. We all know how the RAW team looks significantly more dominant than SmackDown Live, at least for now.
Having AJ Styles as part of the mix may actually give SmackDown Live a fighting chance.
