WWE SmackDown: Results, Review, and Analysis for November 6th, 2018

When we come back from commercial, Miz and Daniel Bryan are of course already fighting. Shane McMahon could not care less though, because Miz and Bryan bring out the best in each other, and he’s going to need their best to beat Team Raw at Survivor Series. Shane needs the three other members of Team SmackDown picked by the end of the show. Miz and Bryan agree, surprisingly – the third member of Team SmackDown is Shane McMahon.

New Day is up next, featuring the back-up vocals of a very impassioned Manchester fan caught by the camera. New Day has a match against The Uso’s to pick who captains a Survivor Series Tag Team elimination match for Team SmackDown.

The action is okay; the highlight thus far is when Xavier Woods, with the help of Francesca 2.0, plays along with a Kofi Kingston distraction, allowing Big E to land a huge clothesline on Jey Uso.

Big E and Jimmy Uso are legal, and Big give Germans, belly-to-bellies, suplexing Jimmy in any which was he can. Big E goes for a Big Ending, but not before Jey quickly tags himself in. Big E lands the Big Ending this time, but Jimmy stops the pin.

Big E starts landing some Big Offense outside of the ring until he’s driven over the barricade. While he’s out, Kofi Kingston dives outside of the ring, taking out both Usos.

Kofi goes for a pin on Jey to no avail. Kofi lands the SOS, but still, no dice. Kofi misses yet another pin. When we come back from break, Kofi is being double-teamed by The Usos, but suddenly Big E reappears and knocks Jey Uso off the apron.

Kofi hits a Trouble in Paradise, but it still isn’t enough to take down Jimmy Uso. Kofi tried for a superplex on the top rope, but Jimmy fights him off. Kofi jumps back up to him, but Jimmy counters with a powerbomb. Jimmy Uso lands a splash on Kofi and gets him down for the three-count. The Usos are the captains of the Elimination match.
