WWE SmackDown video highlights: NXT invasion


WWE’s travel delays leaving Saudi Arabia resulted in a unique episode of SmackDown taking place last night.
Due to having a limited roster because of the delays, an NXT invasion was the theme of last night’s show. The build to Survivor Series officially kicked off, with Raw, SmackDown, and NXT all set to be involved in this year’s pay-per-view.
NXT Champion Adam Cole defended his title against Daniel Bryan in last night’s main event. Tommaso Ciampa took on The Miz, and — after Bianca Belair laid out Carmella and Dana Brooke — Rhea Ripley & Tegan Nox teamed against Mandy Rose & Sonya Deville.
NXT Women’s Champion Shayna Baszler appeared and attacked SmackDown Women’s Champion Bayley after her title defense against Nikki Cross. Keith Lee and Matt Riddle also interrupted a backstage interview with Sami Zayn and then laid him out.
With the NXT wrestlers in the ring with him, Triple H closed the show with a promo and sent a message to Raw and SmackDown.
