WWE SmackDown live results: Will Raw be out for revenge?
Show Recap —
Shane McMahon came out and said that he’s undergone serious rehab the last two weeks. McMahon mentioned the upcoming Survivor Series and was insulted that Kurt Angle didn’t think the SmackDown roster matched up to Raw. He brought up striking the Raw roster first and the crowd chanted “Under Siege”. He said that SmackDown wouldn’t be caught off guard like Raw was last night.
Sami Zayn interrupted and came down to the ring. Zayn said no hard feelings for Hell in a Cell and tried to shake McMahon’s hand. Shane said there are hard feelings. Zayn informed McMahon that he and Kevin Owens talked it over and they agree to represent SmackDown at Survivor Series. He said SmackDown needs them.
Shane turned down the offer and said he doesn’t need them. If Zayn wants to be on the team all he has to do is win his match later and he’ll be the first person on the team. McMahon informs him that his opponent will be Randy Orton.
Backstage, New Day was on their way to the ring when they saw a bunch of old fruit on a table with a sign that read “raw fruit”. They disposed of the fruit in the garbage.
Chad Gable & Shelton Benjamin defeated New Day (w/ Big E)
The Usos joined in on commentary for the match and mentioned facing Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose at Survivor Series.
Gable and Benjamin took over after Kingston took a nasty fall to the floor. Big E tired to revive him using Booty-O’s. Finish came when Gable shoved Woods and Benjamin nailed him with a kick to the back behind the referees back. Gable made the cover to score the win.
In the back, Charlotte, Naomi, Becky Lynch, Lana and Tamina Snuka were all gathered in Daniel Bryan’s office. Carmella showed up and couldn’t find James Ellsworth but nobody cared.
Bryan arrived and said that all of them will be on the Survivor Series team. Lana pointed out that there are 6 of them. Bryan told her she’s not on the team.
Tonight the women will compete in match later with the winner being named the team captain.
Fashion Files “Fashion Dogs”
Breezango was arguing over which one of them is Mr. Pink from the movie Reservoir Dogs. James Ellsworth was tied up to a chair when Ascension showed up with gasoline. Carmella arrived with her briefcase. Fandango took the briefcase and pulled out Ellsworth’s dirty underwear.
Breezango celebrated solving the case but Ascension pointed out they didn’t solve anything. They said it must be The Bludgeon Brothers that are behind the attacks. Next week will be a Stranger Things parody.
Backstage, Daniel Bryan and Shane McMahon met. Bryan was upset with McMahon for not informing him of the attack last night. He also said he didn’t approve of the attack. McMahon said he’s the commissioner and sometimes needs to make those decisions.
Sin Cara defeated U.S. Champion Baron Corbin by DQ
Sin Cara had the brief advantage but Corbin snapped and wouldn’t stop beating on Cara, which resulted in a disqualification. After the match, Corbin gave Cara the End of Days on the floor.
The Singh Brothers came out and did their intro for Jinder Mahal. They mocked Paul Heyman’s intro for Brock Lesnar and called themselves “advocates”.
Mahal called Heyman a liar and showed Heyman’s promo from last night. Mahal said he’s the most dominant world champion but the WWE universe doesn’t give him the same respect he gets from the people of India. Mahal proclaimed that the Maharaja era has just begun. AJ Styles interrupted Mahal’s promo.
AJ Styles defeated Sunil Singh (w/ Samir Singh)
Before the match, the referee sent Mahal to the back. Styles dominated the match and won easily with the Calf Crusher.
Backstage, Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn met. Owens has a Survivor Series qualifying match against Shinsuke Nakamura next week. Zayn has no doubt they’ll both win their matches.

Randy Orton defeated Sami Zayn to earn a spot on SmackDown’s men’s division Survivor Series team
Orton had the early advantage but Zayn took over after hitting a moonsault off the barricade on the floor. Orton made a comeback and dropped Zayn on the announce table.
Orton set up for the RKO when Kevin Owens ran out. Orton was distracted and Zayn scored a near fall. The referee was trying to send Owens to the back and missed Orton using a low blow on Zayn. He followed up with the RKO to win the match. Orton will be the team captain for the men at the Survivor Series.
Daniel Bryan and Shane McMahon met once again in the back. Bryan pointed out that there was no Raw retaliation tonight but that doesn’t mean they won’t strike back eventually. When they do Shane will have to deal with the consequences.
