With Survivor Series set to revolve around the battle for brand supremacy between SmackDown, RAW and NXT, Triple H and his army in yellow laid down the gauntlet on the most recent episode of SmackDown.

How Brock Lesnar ruined another wrestler's career - Watch Now!

Many Superstars from NXT showed up and made major statements during the show, which ended with The Game and his NXT roster sending out a resounding message to the Superstars of RAW and SmackDown.

Based on the events that went down on SmackDown, it would be safe to assume that the Superstars from the Blue brand would be looking for some kind of retribution, which could be a possible invasion at the next NXT episode on Wednesday.

However, that may not happen as the Superstars from both RAW and SmackDown will travel to the UK for a tour after the next episode of RAW. This rules out the possibility of a potential angle that could have happened in NXT.

WWE could always leave a few SmackDown Superstars back to book an angle in NXT, however, that is unlikely to happen as the company would need all their talents on board for an extensive trip to the UK.

We don't know whether to call it intuition or just good luck, but a handful of Superstars didn't have to go through the tough circumstances that a majority of the roster faced in Saudi Arabia.

Dave Meltzer revealed the names of the Superstars who refused to work the Crown Jewel PPV on the latest edition of the Wrestling Observer Radio.

Daniel Bryan and Kevin Owens turned down the offer of making the trip to the Middle East due to unknown reasons. Additionally, Sami Zayn and Aleister Black were also not a part of the Crown Jewel entourage.

Zayn and Black weren't even invited to begin with. The Underdog from the Underground was kept away from the show as he is of Syrian descent.

Black, on the other hand, wasn't involved as his tattoos 'have religious connotations', which was also why he wasn't used at Super ShowDown earlier this year.
