5 Things WWE subtly told us on SmackDown: Major error in Aalyah-Murphy story, Possible title change happening next week? (October 30th, 2020)

#2 The build to Survivor Series on SmackDown is off to a slow start

Adam Pearce is a busy man

RAW made sure to secure and announce their teams early on - just one night after Hell in a Cell 2020. We were a bit surprised since there was almost a full month to build to the PPV. On SmackDown this week, the story was a bit different. We only had three qualifying matches and one was for the women.

Billie Kay and Natalya were making a case to authority figure Adam Pearce over who should be in the Survivor Series team and it was SmackDown's star acquisition, Bianca Belair, who made her presence known.

Once Bianca Belair interjected, it was clear who the first person on the SmackDown Women's team would be. Bianca Belair handily defeated both Billie Kay and Natalya to qualify, while Kevin Owens defeated Dolph Ziggler to become the first to qualify for the men's team.

Jey Uso also qualified in the main event, but given what happened, we need an entirely separate point for that.
