WWE SmackDown Live Review: Results, Analysis, and Grades for October 11

Survivor Series Update

Shane McMahon & Daniel Bryan are talking about why Survivor Series will be a can’t-miss spectacle. They talk about how they will be proposing an opportunity. They throw down the gauntlet for a three separate five on five traditional elimination Survivor Series matches: One of male competitors, one of tag teams, one of women. This prompts a Yes chant from the crowd, and a quote from JBL that he’s going to beat up Byron Saxton of RAW.

Carmella vs Naomi

Result: Naomi def. Carmella by pinfall (Victory Roll)

Rating: 2.25 out of 5 stars

They show a clip from earlier today of an interview with Nikki Bella by Renee Young. Nikki talks up the first season of Total Bellas, and how she’s been living her best life after beating Carmella at No Mercy. Carmella appears and tosses her into a barricade backstage and tells Bella that one day, her whole career will fall.

Carmella is coming off that loss, but Naomi is fresh off a pay-per-view win over number one contender Alexa Bliss. Who will continue up the pecking order in the SD Live women’s division?
Before the bell can even ring, Carmella attacks her from behind mid-entrance. Naomi manages to get control back of the match and hits a big crossbody for a two count. As Carmella gets control, Nikki Bella comes out from the back and tries to get involved.

Naomi uses the distraction to pick up the victory roll pin. After the match, Nikki Bella chases down Carmella and almost catches her, with Carmella scurrying to the back.
