WWE SmackDown Live Preview: November 22, 2016
As Survivor Series has now concluded, SmackDown Live will look to TLC in just a few weeks. Post-Survivor Series fallout ahead.
Survivor Series certainly did not fail to deliver some surprises on Sunday night. Perhaps, none more baffling than the quick work Goldberg had made of Brock Lesnar. After delivering two spears and a jackhammer to the beast, Goldberg finished Lesnar off with no offense from him. Now, we move on to SmackDown Live on Tuesday nights. Team Blue had gone just 1-2 in the three traditional Survivor Series elimination matches. SmackDown lost both the women’s and tag team elimination matches, but was able to pull out the victory for the men’s side towards the end of the show.
Bayley pinned SmackDown Women’s Champion, Becky Lynch to secure the victory for Raw on the women’s side. Meanwhile, later in the show, Raw too, was able to defeat SmackDown in the tag team division. It was Cesaro and Sheamus who defeated the Uso’s, as both teams were the soul survivors for their respective sides. Finally, it was SmackDown Live prevailing for the men’s team, in the end, proving they have the superior brand overall. It was The Wyatt Family who took home the victory for Team Blue Sunday night. They took down Roman Reigns in the end to secure the victory.
Drama certainly unfolded on this night as the former members of the Shield used their finisher to take out the WWE World Champion, AJ Styles. Dean Ambrose’s animosity towards Styles and turning on his team was the main point to take from Survivor Series. As we head into tonight, what can we expect from the SmackDown Live roster? Two rematches will be in order as we head into the TLC pay-per-view less than two weeks away. Both Dolph Ziggler and Alexa Bliss will seek rematches for both the Intercontinental and SmackDown Women’s Championships, respectively. What will be in store for this Tuesday night?
