– Sami Zayn at backstage, talking to his fellow Team SmackDown members about how he is the Team Captain and will do anything he can to ensure victory. The camera zooms out and we see Sami is just ranting to himself in the mirror. Jeff Hardy appears behind Sami Zyan, then, Sami asks Hardy how much of that pep talk he just saw, and Jeff says he’s been there the whole time. Sami asks what he thought of it. Jeff says it sucked and it sucked real bad and Sami isn’t thrilled.
– Aliyah at backstage walking and Alyse Ashton congratulates her and asks her what she’s thinking. She’s on cloud nine due to the victory and being on Team SmackDown. Sonya Deville walks up and asks Aliyah how long she’s known Naomi for. She thinks about it but Deville tells her not to answer that. Deville congratulates her on everything but says she was just advised that Aliyah is no longer on Team SmackDown for Survivor Series. Deville takes a phone call and walks off and Aliyah looks disappointed.
– Kayla Braxton approaches Roman Reigns and Paul Heyman at backstage. Reigns interrupts and says Kayla can only be here for two reasons – to acknowledge her Tribal Chief or flirt with The Wiseman. Reigns asks Kayla what she wants but he interrupts and says no one cares what she wants. Reigns enters his locker room suite and tells Heyman to smarten Kayla up.
Paul Heyman reveals that Reigns has authorized him to up the ante against King Xavier Woods tonight. Heyman says Woods will take a bended knee to acknowledge Reigns as his Tribal Chief but if Reigns isn’t man enough to make that happen, then Reigns will bend the knee to Woods. Heyman says if Reigns doesn’t live up to the stipulation, WWE can strip him of the Universal Title and ban him from SmackDown. Heyman says that makes tonight’s show a lot more interesting.
– Sonya Deville at backstage with Adam Pearce and WWE NXT Superstar Von Wagner. Deville mentions making the women’s Team SmackDown stronger, apparently in removing Aliyah, and suggests Pearce do the same. Now, Sami Zayn walks in and says he’s concerned with the members of Team SmackDown.
Sami Zyan wants Jeff Hardy to be removed from the team. Then, Pearce makes Sami Zayn vs. Jeff Hardy for tonight with the winner being removed from Team SmackDown. Sami rants about the decision but Pearce hushes him and sends him on his way. Von Wagner stood there the entire time with his arms crossed and McAfee wondered who he was.
– The SmackDown Women’s Champion Charlotte Flair makes her way to the ring. She brings up Becky Lynch and says she went from being The Irish Lass Kicker to The Man to Becky 2 Belts to Big Time Becks. Flair asks who the hell is Becky? Flair says there’s nothing natural about her, she’s just a fabricated champion, from her catchphrases to her orange hair and who knows what else. Flair says Becky has had some big moments, like winning the two titles at WrestleMania 35, which was all thanks to Flair, or her quick win over Bianca Belair at Summer Slam this year.
Flair says Becky will have a new nickname come Survivor Series… Becky Uh-Oh, Charlotte Beat Me Uh-Oh, Charlotte Is Superior Uh-Oh, I Came Back From Having A Baby Too Soon Uh-Oh, Charlotte’s Going To Beat Me Up Uh-Oh. Flair thanks the crowd for playing along and says not only can she beat Becky, she can beat any other woman in the locker room.
Then, Charlotte Flair brings up her recent win over Shotzi and says Shotzi cemented her place by just stepping in the ring with her. Flair says she makes you a star, even if she defeats you, and her new name should be The Star Maker. Now, music interrupts and here comes Toni Storm.
Strom says Flair would be so generous for offering title shots to the locker room and helping the younger generation, but the reality is Flair doesn’t do any of that. Storm says Lynch defended her title on Raw just a week ago, but has Flair defended since she’s been on SmackDown? Uh-Oh. Storm tells Flair to put her money where her mouth is and accept this challenge for a title match tonight. Flair waits and then says absolutely not. They stare at each other down and Flair exits the ring but Storm isn’t happy.
– Kayla Braxton at backstage with King Xavier Woods and asks about how Paul Heyman and Roman Reigns upped the ante earlier tonight. Woods says Reigns is sorely mistaken if he thinks Woods will bend his knee and acknowledge him. Woods says with Kofi Kingston being injured and WWE Champion Big E taking the apron powerbomb on Raw, The New Day has had a rough week but that stops tonight. Woods says about how he’s going to storm the Island of Relevancy and plant his flag in the name of King Woods. Woods says Reigns really wants to be King, but let’s be serious and walks off.
– Sad Aliyah at backstage talking to someone on the phone about how she was kicked out off Team SmackDown. Mustafa Ali walks up and she ends the call. Ali says he gets it, Aliyah was on her way up but things came crashing down. It’s a shame how tonight was supposed to be one of the biggest moments of Aliyah’s career but it ended up being the worst.
Now, Ricochet interrupts and says Aliyah shouldn’t believe a thing Ali says. Ricochet says Aliyah crushed it and was in the ring with some legends in the making, and should remember that she won. Ricochet tells Aliyah to always keep her head up. She asks if he really believes that and he keeps giving her words of encouragement. Ricochet and Aliyah walk off while Ali looks on.
– Jeff Hardy defeated Sami Zyan via pinfall and keeps his spot on Team SmackDown. After the match, The men’s Team SmackDown graphic appears on the big screen and Sami Zyan removed from the team.
– We got the earlier video of Hit Row’s “Top Dolla” AJ Francis, Isaiah “Swerve” Scott and Ashante “Thee” Adonis at backstage. They rhyme about being on SmackDown and how good it’s been so far. Jinder Mahal and Shanky are at backstage now. Jinder calls him Real Slim Shanky and tells him to drop bars. Shanky starts rapping in his native tongue and calls Ice Ice Shanky. Shanky does a beat box now as Jinder starts rapping, taking shots at Hit Row. Jinder and Shanky then do their own handshake and dance, still mocking and taunting Hit Row. Jinder says Hit Row is more like Cringe Row and laugh at Hit Row to end the segment.
– Kayla Braxton at backstage with Ridge Holland and asks about his praise for Sheamus on last week’s show. Ridge says he was speaking from the heart as Sheamus really is his idol and where he’s from in England, he never thought he’d leave those streets until he saw Sheamus doing what he did – fighting the way he fought but making a living at it. Holland never knew he could make good money fighting people but Sheamus showed him the way and he’s now proud to follow in his footsteps.
Cesaro interrupts and says he’s sorry to interrupt, but he couldn’t help but overhear and as he and Sheamus are like brothers, Sheamus’ attitude lately has been off. He warns Ridge to be careful what he wishes for. Ridge is aware of their relationship and is calling his shot as he and Sheamus will be a far better tag team than The Bar ever was. Ridge says if Cesaro doesn’t like what he’s saying, he can take it up with Sheamus because he will be here next week.
– King Xavier Woods defeated Roman Reigns via disqualification after SmackDown Tag Team Champions The Usos attacking Woods. After the match, The Usos destroyed Woods and take him to the floor and continued attacking using the steel ring steps against the barrier. Now, Reigns drops to one knee and Heyman hands King Woods’ crown to The Usos. They bring the crown and place it on Reigns’ head. The Bloodline stood tall in the ring and SmackDown goes off the air.
