WWE SmackDown: Spoilers for October 31

More from SmackDown

If you plan on watching WWE SmackDown this Friday night, please check out other articles on Daily DDT.

The WWE SmackDown tapings that took place tonight featured plenty of action, including a Divas battle royal, Dolph Ziggler in action, and the Big Guy making his return to Friday nights.

Here’s the spoilers for the next episode of WWE SmackDown, courtesy of Wrestling Inc.

"Big Show kicks off SmackDown and gets a “yes!” chant going for a video that they’re sending to Daniel Bryan in support of his comeback. Show informs everyone that Bryan needs another elbow surgery."

"The Divas Halloween Costume Battle Royal is next. Brie Bella is not in the match as she was advertised to be. Nikki Bella ends up getting the win. Nikki taunted AJ Lee, who was on commentary, after the match. Paige was dressed as Summer Rae and there was some good comedy."

"Seth Rollins, Kane, Joey Mercury and Jamie Noble come out for a promo."

"Kane defeated Dolph Ziggler in a non-title match. Rollins attacked Ziggler and beat him down after the match."

"Mercury and Noble join in on the beatdown to Ziggler. Ziggler is ordered into a match against Rollins. Rollins quickly defeats Ziggler."

"Ryback squashes Heath Slater, who was dressed as a Scarecrow."

"Miz TV with Damien Sandow and The Miz is next. There are a lot of pumpkins and Halloween decorations set up. Mark Henry is their guest. Henry rips Big Show, leading to Show making his way out. They end up brawling and Henry sends Show crashing through the barrier."

"Los Matadores defeated Stardust and Goldust in a non-title match."

"Rusev defeated The Great Khali. Rusev and Lana cut promos and say Rusev is coming for Sheamus’ United States Title."

"Bray Wyatt comes to the ring for a promo in his rocking chair."

"The main event is Cesaro vs. Dean Ambrose in a Trick or Street Fight. There are pumpkins and other decorations all around the ring. Ambrose was great in this match and put pumpkins over Cesaro’s head. Ambrose gets the win. This was said to be a very fun match."

If you want to judge this show on paper – it looks like an average show.

The Divas Halloween Costume Battle Royal seems like it could be entertaining – MizTV as well. The main event looks like it was a lot of fun, but other than that, there was not a ton to get excited about.

The news of Daniel Bryan having to undergo another surgery is very upsetting. It’s getting to the point where we don’t know if he’ll ever come back. He has to be 100% to even consider returning to the ring at this rate. Coming back too early from these neck and elbow injuries could permanently damage his body.

Dolph Ziggler took two losses in one evening, which is interesting. They seem to be pushing a feud between him and Kane going into the Survivor Series Elimination Match so there’s some added story to it.

Los Matadores is also being pushed for a shot at the Tag Team Championship. If they weren’t portrayed as such jokes over the past year or so, this wouldn’t be a big problem. This will probably be only a month-long program because Gold and Stardust certainly aren’t dropping their titles to the bull fighters. I just wonder what kind of build this is going to get without it looked silly.

There’s my thoughts on the SmackDown tapings, what are yours?
