SmackDown Live aired live from Atlanta, Georgia this week and included some interesting segments that will pave the way for feuds heading into the final quarter of the WWE year. Kevin Owens and Shane McMahon look set to do battle for the rest of the year since the latest development in the case saw Owens serve papers to McMahon which state that he was suing him for wrongful termination.
McMahon's career is now on the line since Kevin Owens also stated that the fine print of the papers read that if Owens won the case, McMahon would be fired.
Elsewhere the Women's Division continued to heat up as Sasha Banks and Charlotte renewed their rivalry ahead of an obvious showdown between all Four Horsewomen of NXT. Whilst Shinsuke Nakamura and Sami Zayn turned their attention to a new victim following the Intercontinental Champion's victory over The Miz this past weekend. It may be a huge few weeks for WWE with NXT going live and SmackDown Live moving to Friday night's on FOX, but the botches were still coming in thick and fast.
#3 Carmella's superkick
Sasha Banks took on Charlotte this week on SmackDown Live since Banks and Bayley have had some issues with The Queen and Becky Lynch over the past few weeks. On RAW this past Monday night, Charlotte made the save when Bayley and Banks tried to attack Becky Lynch, which is why The Boss looked to send a message to Charlotte on SmackDown Live.
Of course, Bayley inevitably interfered in the match and many fans believed that it would be Becky Lynch who came out to even the numbers, instead it was Carmella who came out and delivered a superkick that was a few inches shy of the target. To Banks' credit, she was able to bump the move so that it looked effective, but it's obvious that it came up a little short.

#2 Randy Orton nearly dropped Kofi Kingston
Randy Orton and Kofi Kingston have had their own fair share of issues over the past few months since Orton has been challenging for the WWE Championship at the past two pay-per-view events. Orton came up short at both SummerSlam and Clash of Champions, but it appears that the feud is now over between the two men since Brock Lesnar returned last night on SmackDown Live and laid down an interesting challenge.
Ahead of Lesnar's return, Orton teamed with The Revival in a losing effort against The New Day and one of the most interesting parts of the match saw Orton go for his usual second rope draped DDT on Kingston, but he failed to grab Kingston on his first attempt and then looked as though he was going to drop him when he set up the move.
Luckily, the move went ahead without any issue and both men recovered well and managed to finish the match. Hopefully, there are no hard feelings between them since it's become common knowledge what happened to Kingston last time he botched in a match against The Viper.
#1 Tom Phillips got taken out!
It is unknown whether or not this was a botch, but it was certainly one of the best things on SmackDown Live this week. Erick Rowan and Daniel Bryan had what seemed like a heated argument in the ring to end the show and this inevitably became physical which allowed Luke Harper to attack Bryan from behind.
This two on one assault brought out Roman Reigns, who was then also attacked by Harper and Rowan before they then turned their attention to attacking everything around the ring as they screamed that no one can control them.
Of course, the commentary team were at ringside and were at the heart of the attack, but whilst Corey Graves and Byron Saxton were able to make their way over the barricade and out of harm's way, Tom Phillips wasn't quick enough. He tried to get out of the way of Luke Harper's attack, but Harper threw his chair at him when he didn't move and it managed to take him out completely. Saxton and Graves didn't mention it, which means that's it's unknown as to whether or not this was actually supposed to happen.
