facebooktwitterreddit

Follow along with our live spoilers from Tuesday’s WWE SmackDown taping.

WWE is currently on their annual overseas fall tour. This one has been mostly based in Glasgow, Scotland, as Raw and SmackDown are both taking place there. The Flagship Show taped during Monday afternoon and aired later that night. The same will go for The Blue Brand, which will tape on Tuesday afternoon and be seen later in the day.

The only pre-advertised match for SmackDown is Becky Lynch vs. Alexa Bliss for the SmackDown Women’s Championship. This had been set to take place at the No Mercy pay-per-view, but due to Lynch suffering an injury, it would get moved to the November 8 taping in Glasgow.

Tuesday’s title defense will be Lynch’s first since winning the title at Backlash. Will she be able to retain the championship by the end of the show?

Randy Orton has seemingly joined The Wyatt Family after the past two weeks of events. It started with him helping Bray Wyatt defeat Kane in a match, which came out of nowhere. Orton then worked with Wyatt and Luke Harper last week to defeat The Big Red Monster again. Backstage promos have even indicated that this alliance would be set. However, is there something more to this than The Viper simply deciding to work with these two?

The main event feud has seen AJ Styles and Dean Ambrose battling for months over the WWE World Championship. Their latest match got announced for the TLC PPV in a TLC bout, which takes place on Sunday, December 4. This came after James Ellsworth inadvertently helped Ambrose beat Styles to become the No. 1 Contender to the belt. What will happen next in this feud?
