An interesting night on SmackDown

The Street Profits were backstage before SmackDown and they hyped Survivor Series and The Undertaker's farewell before Big E snuck up on them, pretending to be The Deadman. The Profits talked about beating The New Day on Sunday before E announced that the New Day was there on SmackDown.

The New Day kicked things off in the ring and were going to talk about the Undertaker but Sami Zayn came out to mock The Deadman. Sami said The Undertaker was retiring because he was afraid of Zayn after he had been looking to pay him back for the Chokeslam that he took for no reason.

Sami demanded they talk about him instead and Woods & Kofi mocked him. King Corbin was the next one out and had an issue with the New Day being on SmackDown, or as Corbin calls it, "his show".

Ziggler and Roode came out next and they had a score to settle with the New Day. Roode and Ziggler wanted a title match and Woods & Kofi manage to convince Corbin & Sami to fight Roode & Ziggler for a title opportunity.

The Street Profits came out and wiped out the two challenging teams before joining the New Day for an eight-man tag match on SmackDown.

We returned from commercials to see The Street Profits dominating the match before Ziggler took control with a kick and tagged in Roode. Roode was in trouble as the New Day traded tags before Woods and Corbin were in the ring.

Woods reversed a chokeslam before tagging in Ford. Montez hit a standing moonsault before Kofi came in for a crossbody but took out Ford by accident.

Back after a break on SmackDown, Corbin tagged in Ziggler as Ford tried to escape their corner. Kingston and Roode were tagged in and Kofi had the momentum as he hit the Boom Drop but missed the finisher.

Woods came in with a DDT and a near fall before Dawkins was tagged in. Zayn was the only one left to tag and refused to step in the ring after he was tagged in. Dawkins dragged him inside and Montez came in with the Frogsplash to pick up the win.

Result: The New Day & The Street Profits def. Sami Zayn, King Corbin, Robert Roode & Dolph Ziggler

Sami Zayn was seen arguing with the referee over the result of the match before he started yelling at Daniel Bryan for laughing at him. Bryan shoved him away before Sami retreated on SmackDown.

Daniel Bryan was backstage and said that Jey Uso had a devil on his shoulder, referring to Roman Reigns. They two had a match tonight and Bryan assured us that he was ready.


Adam Pearce was backstage on SmackDown and added Otis to the SmackDown Survivor Series team before Chad Gable congratulated him. Natalya showed up and wanted to be put on the Women's team but Adam had chosen Bayley instead and Natalya had to win a match to secure her spot instead.


Seth Rollins was backstage on SmackDown and said that Murphy was handed everything by Rollins and in return, he stabbed him in the back. Seth was ready to make him pay and send him back to irrelevance.


Natalya vs. Tamina - Qualifier match for Survivor Series SmackDown Women's team

Bayley came out to watch the match and she and Bianca Belair were on commentary for this one. Tamina started off strong and tossed Natalya outside while Bianca told Bayley that while they had to win matches, Bayley was just added to the team.

Bayley named herself the captain of the SmackDown team while Natalya managed to catch Tamina in a sharpshooter and make her tap. After the match, The Riott Squad came out and joined the rest of Team SmackDown in the ring to celebrate.

Result: Natalya won the qualifier match and will join the Survivor Series SmackDown team

Match rating: B-


Roman Reigns and Drew McIntyre were out for the Survivor Series contract signing on SmackDown. Roman said that he knew Drew could beat Randy while Heyman had told him that McIntyre was the right person, in the right place, but at the wrong time.

Drew said he wasn't gonna lose his temper before signing the contract and told Reigns to "prepare for war". Reigns looked at the contract and then turned to Drew to tell him that he was a 'secondary titleholder' while Reigns was the 'face of the company'.

Reigns signed the contract and called him 'his favorite No.2' before walking off with the title.


Murphy vs. Seth Rollins on SmackDown

Rollins attacked Murphy during his entrance and knocked him off the apron before the match began. After a little back and forth, Rollins caught Murphy in the ropes and went for a Kendo Stick but Rey and then Dominik Mysterio got in his way.

Rollins was attacking the Mysterios when Murphy interfered but was tossed off the top rope onto the barricades before we headed for a break on SmackDown.

Murphy vs. Seth Rollins on SmackDown (contd...)

Back to the match on SmackDown, Rollins hit the Superplex-Falcon Arrow combo and The Mysterio family was trying to cheer Murphy on. Murphy hit a knee strike on the apron before Rollins hit the stomp from the middle rope.

Rollins went for the stomp again but Murphy reversed it into a knee strike twice before getting the win off Murphy's Law.

Result: Murphy def. Seth Rollins

Match rating: A


Sasha Banks and Asuka were out and Michael Cole was interviewing them before Survivor Series. Asuka was on her usual comedy routine and even said 'you can't see me'. Banks kicked her shoes off and said that she was ready to face her right there but Carmella attacked her from behind.

Asuka watched Banks get obliterated as Carmella hung her upside down on the ropes and kicked her head into the ring post.


Jey Uso was backstage on SmackDown and said that the only devil inside his head was himself and that he attacked Daniel Bryan previously because he wanted to.

Daniel Bryan vs. Jey Uso on SmackDown

Bryan picked up the big win!
Bryan picked up the big win!

Uso went for the early offense but was taken to the mat by the submission specialist Daniel Bryan. Uso got some hits in and seemed to have hurt his arm before he sent Bryan into the ring post outside and cleared the announce table on SmackDown.

Bryan took the match back to the ring before hitting a suicide dive after Uso fled the ring. Uso managed to turn things around and send Bryan through the announce desk before a break.

Back on SmackDown, Uso was in control and attacked Bryan in the corner while yelling that its 'nothing personal'. Bryan hit back but was caught on the ropes for a Superplex.

Bryan locked in the Yes lock all of a sudden but Jey reversed it. They both headed to the top rope and Bryan hit a back suplex from up high. Bryan hit the Yes kicks before being caught with Superkicks.

Uso went for the splash but Bryan got his knees up in time. Uso was rolled up by Bryan for a win before SmackDown came to a close.

Result: Daniel Bryan def. Jey Uso

Match rating: A


Episode rating: B+

We got the New Day's return to SmackDown for an 8-man tag match to kick things off while Murphy took down the Messiah for good. Reigns and McIntyre had a final face-off before Survivor Series and so did Banks and Asuka.
