A bit transpired on SmackDown Live following the attack on Daniel Bryan the prior night.
Shane McMahon makes a huge Survivor Series announcement
Shane started justifying the Siege of RAW the prior week. He said that while the 25th anniversary of RAW is a great achievement, but RAW always viewed SmackDown Live as the inferior brand and they needed to change this perception.
He said there's hell to pay for what happened to Daniel Bryan the prior night on RAW and named himself as team captain for Survivor Series.
He declared that the show should start and the lights went out. Bobby Roode had arrived!
Bobby Roode vs Dolph Ziggler - 2 out of 3 falls match(Winner qualifies for the Survivor Series team)
Dolph Ziggler came out with no entrance for some heat. Roode attempted a Glorious DDT right off the bat but failed.
The action soon went outside the ring and Roode was able to throw Ziggler against the barricade. Roode threw Ziggler back into the ring and was shortly met with a superkick and pinned.
Dolph Ziggler scored the first pinfall
WWE made the weird decision of not airing the equalizing fall for Bobby Roode. It was one apiece after the commercial break. Following this, Roode planted Ziggler with a slam for a nearfall.
The two tried rolling over one after the other for a roll-up victory but Bobby Roode used the momentum of the roll to hit the Glorious DDT, and then the win.
Bobby Roode defeated Dolph Ziggler 2 falls to 1 to qualify for the SmackDown Survivor Series team
After the match, Roode was interviewed by Renee Young. He told her that he hopes the remaining two members of team SmackDown are as passionate as the 3 already on the team. He ended it with "SmackDown Up! RAW Down!"
New Day were backstage, dressed as Jimmy Hart, Brother Love an Akeem giving out candy to random backstage stuff. Rusev and Aiden English butted in and Rusev blasted them for being jovial and that the staff could end up being RAW spies.
He took the candy, dumped it down the floor, stomped on it and said that the only day that mattered was Rusev day. A furious Big E challenged Rusev to a match.
The women had a Survivor Series segment backstage. Becky was trying to talk team spirit to her team. Natalya butted and started berating Charlotte for some weird reason and said that if SmackDown loses, it's her fault.
Baron Corbin vs Sin Cara
Baron Corbin went dirty and tried to remove Sin Cara's mask. He ended up eating a boot early on to stop his tracks.
Sin Cara's early attempt at a suicide dive was shut down with a right hand from Corbin. The US Champion once again tried to remove his mask, but Sin Cara was able to escape. He pushed Corbin onto the steel steps and started to go aggressively, even pushing Corbin against the announce table. Sin Cara started beating the pulp out of Corbin and even threw a chair at the champion. Sin Cara had already gotten disqualified by this point This sent Corbin running through the WWE Universe. We've never seen this side of Sin Cara!
Baron Corbin defeated Sin Cara by disqualification
Usos were being interviewed backstage and called SmackDown Live the A-show. Benjamin & Gable interjected and said that they have their title opportunity next week on SmackDown Live. They then proceeded to do that rap thing they do.
AJ Styles vs Samir Singh
Jinder said that he was unfairly ejected from ringside the previous week because of the fear AJ Styles had for him. He also said that Brock Lesnar should have fear. He vowed to conquer The Beast Incarnate.
While he was speaking in Punjabi he got cut off by AJ Styles. The match started off and Samir slapped AJ. Big mistake as AJ went at him aggressively and landed a Styles Clash for the win in seconds.
AJ Styles defeated Samir Singh
Jinder Mahal went at AJ and began the assault him before he even had a second to breathe. The assault got absolutely vicious and he bent AJ's back against the ring post. He hit a Khallas and seemed to be done, but he went back and hit another Khallas on Styles
Backstage, Sami Zayn was next to Owens, who was taping up. They were whining about Shane McMahon making himself team captain.
Big E vs Rusev
Aiden English began with a song about Rusev day but got cut off right then. Rusev hit the hat out of Big E's(Akeem) head and threw it away. Big E caught him and started slapping Rusev's butt to "New Day Rocks" chants.
Rusev pulled Big E's hand against the rope an then slammed him against the ring post. After the break, Rusev still had some level of control. Big E also got Rusev with a uranage day. Mid-match, Aiden English started singing that it wasn't Halloween but Rusev Day.
Xavier Woods fired back with some tunes of his own. Aiden attacked Xavier and ran into the ring when confronted by Kofi. Big E hit an unaware English with a big ending. The diversion allowed Rusev to kick Big E for the win.
Rusev defeated Big E
Sin Cara was interviewed backstage and he said that he's not had an easy life and had taken offence to Corbin's actions. He said that he went through hell to get it and he'll go through hell to keep it.
Aiden English came into the office and asked Shane McMahon how he was on the holiday. Of course, he was referring to Rusev Day. Rusev came in and asked for a spot on the Survivor Series team. Shane put him in a match next week against AJ Styles in the final qualifier.
Strangerer things
The quality of Fashion Files dipped. However, there was one funny joke involving Tye Dillinger. You'll get the reference if you saw Stranger Things
Kevin Owens vs Shinsuke Nakamura
Classic Shinsuke taunted Owens early on to "come on" while he was outside the ring. Early on, Nakamura was in control as he threw Owens into a barricade. After the break, Kevin Owens was in complete control.
Things slowed down when Owens had Nakamura in a headlock. The King Of Strong Style began to gain some momentum with a series of strikes with his legs. Owen did catch his leg soon after but Nakamura hit an enziguri. He placed Owens on the top turnbuckles and hit him with a knee to the mid-section for the two-count.
Samu Zayn came out and tried to distract Nakamura but it wasn't enough for Owens to get the win. Owens would go on to hit a suplex on Nakamura but failed to get the win. A pop-up powerbomb attempt was turned into a roll-up then a knee to the face.
As Nakamura was getting ready for the Kinshasa, Owens rolled out of the ring. Nakamura went after Zayn outside the ring but Owens pushed him into the ring post. He hit a frog splash but wasn't able to get the pin.
Owens told Sami Zayn to get the announce table ready, and as he did, Randy Orton's music hit. Instead of coming from the entrance, he came from behind and he slammed Sami Zayn onto the announce table. The distraction saw Nakamura able to get an enziguri and then set up a Kinshasa successfully. Nakamura is the 4th member of team SmackDown Live.
