WWE SmackDown preview 15 November

With two weeks remaining from the last ‘big-four’ PPV event of 2019, Survivor Series, SmackDown will present an episode which could cause major changes on the card.

A series of encounters have been confirmed for tonight’s episode on FOX could have bigger implications attached.

The audience watching at home and the venue can expect a packed show that emanates from the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

As stated on WWE Backstage this week, the five slots of the SmackDown Survivor Series men’s team have been finalised.

Shorty G, Mustafa Ali, Braun Strowman and King Corbin will be the co-participants.

The team will be led by none other than the franchise player, Roman Reigns. Two of them will still have to go through a test in order to keep their spots on the PPV card.

WWE confirmed Shorty G and Ali will team up against the team of Bobby Roode and Dolph Ziggler.

If the former WWE Raw tag team title-holders can somehow pick up the win then G and Ali will be replaced by them.

Survivor Series women’s team

Another such matchup with Survivor Series implication has been confirmed from the female roster.

Former number one contender Nikki Cross will compete against the women’s division champion, Bayley in a singles contest.

If Bayley can pick up the win then Cross will not be a part of the female team of the blue brand, (h/t WWE).

WWE also confirmed that Lacey Evans was part of the SmackDown team.

“Nikki Cross can become the final member of Team SmackDown for the Five-Woman Survivor Series Elimination Match — but she’ll have to overcome SmackDown Women’s Champion Bayley to do so.

Lacey Evans joins team captain Sasha Banks, Carmella and Dana Brooke, leaving one spot remaining on Team Blue — one coveted by WWE’s Twisted Sister.”

Cross faced Sasha Banks as The Boss returned to in-ring action recently.

Banks defeated Cross last week on SmackDown, and it will be interesting to see how things go in this clash.

Daniel Bryan to speak after The Fiend’s attack

Plus, perhaps the main event of Survivor Series could be set up on tonight’s episode through a special edition of Miz TV.

Daniel Bryan will be the special guest on the show who will have an open mic to address the happenings from last week.

Bryan was proposed a spot in the team of Nakamura and Sami Zayn. But before he could respond, The Fiend attacked him from behind to lay him down.

The leader of the YES movement will share his thoughts on these two matters. He could confirm a fresh matchup against The Fiend at Survivor Series.
