WWE Smackdown Live results:
— The show opened with Shane McMahon coming to the ring and explaining his and Smackdown’s actions on Monday. He said Smackdown knew they would be in a fight at Survivor Series, and it’s always better to strike first. Sami Zayn interrupted and “selflessly” offered the services of himself and Kevin Owens. McMahon said he didn’t want their help, but if Zayn can beat Randy Orton, he gets to be part of Smackdown’s Survivor Series team.
1. Chad Gable and Shelton Benjamin defeated The New Day (Xavier Woods and Kofi Kingston). The Usos sat in on commentary for this match. While the official checked on Kofi Kingston, Chad Gable pushed Xavier Woods toward Shelton Benjamin on the apron, who hit Benjamin with an enzuigiri. Gable then covered Woods for the pin.
— Breezango debuted their latest Quentin Tarantino-inspired vignette, “Fashion Dogs.”
2. Sin Cara defeated Baron Corbin. This was a non-title match. Corbin lost his temper and wouldn’t stop assaulting Sin Cara in the corner. When Corbin refused to heed the referee’s five-count to break it up, he was disqualified. After the match, Corbin gave Sin Cara the End of Days on the floor.
3. AJ Styles defeated Sunil Singh. Jinder Mahal cut a promo on Brock Lesnar and Paul Heyman before the match. Mahal was sent to the back by the referee and Styles quickly won with the Calf Crusher.
— Kevin Owens talked to Sami Zayn backstage and said he also has a Survivor Series qualifying match next week, against Shinsuke Nakamura.
4. Fatal Five-Way Match: Becky Lynch defeated Carmella, Tamina Snuka, Charlotte Flair, and Natalya. This match was to determine the captain of the Smackdown women’s team at Survivor Series. Becky Lynch got Carmella to tap out to the Disarmer.
— Backstage, Dolph Ziggler and Bobby Roode agreed they would have a 2-out-of-3 falls match next week for a spot on the Smackdown Survivor Series team.
5. Randy Orton defeated Sami Zayn. Kevin Owens tried to get involved, but Orton fought him off. Orton hit a low blow on Zayn behind the referee’s back and pinned him after an RKO.
