Roman Reigns Defends The Universal Title + A Huge Tag Team Match in This Groundbreaking Episode of SmackDown!!
SURVIVOR SERIES IS ONE WEEK FROM SUNDAY!
🔵 Roman Reigns(c) vs. King Big E - Universal Championship Match: 18min*
The Tribal Chief defends his Universal Title against King Big E on the opening contest of SmackDown!
Big E won the 5-way match last week on SmackDown to earn this shot for the Universal Title, can Big E topple the head of The Table and take the title from him or will Roman Reigns' great reign continue?
Roman Reigns defeats Big E.
The Usos played a major factor in this match, their first interference of the match made Big E very angry and absolutely laid waste to The Usos and turned his focus to the match! That interference showed an extreme side of Big E we have never seen before, almost made us believe Reigns is in deep trouble! But just when it was time for E's Big Ending, Jimmy Uso entered the ring but was forced out by the referee that brief interaction with the ref allowed Reigns to hit a powerful Spear to take the W. The Usos and The Head of The Table celebrated this triumph on their way out!

Last week on SmackDown, the formerly known as The Bar made their live reunion and vowed to "right the wrongs" and get things back to what they used to be on Fridays, that claim was challenged by Damian Priest who found himself in a 2-on-1 beat down but Randy Orton came down for the save!
🔵 Becky Lynch and Team SmackDown watch as Rhea Ripley confronts Sonya Deville: 12min*
Sonya Deville was in the ring, ready to announce Team SmackDown for Survivor Series before Becky Lynch, the SmackDown Women's Champion, came down to join her.
The Man wants to hear before hand the losers that'll represent her show! Sonya Deville announces that Asuka, Bianca Belair, Liv Morgan, Shotzi Blackheart, and Zelina Vega will all represent SmackDown at Survivor Series! Rhea Ripley who was screwed from winning the title by Sonya last week came out to promise beating the hell out of Sonya in their scheduled match later in the night!
A brawl breaks out between the intense Team of SmackDown and a Tag Match is made official!
🔵 Bianca Belair, Asuka & Liv Morgan vs. Becky Lynch, Zelina Vega & Shotzi Blackheart: 9min*
Team SmackDown's brawl resulted in a polarization that lead to this tag match!
Becky Lynch, Zelina Vega, & Shotzi win. And Liv Morgan was pinned.
Asuka and Bianca Belair got into a fight after losing this high-profile match but Liv Morgan tries to put them on the same page!
🔹 BACKSTAGE: Karma is Ripley and Sonya is in deep waters.
Rhea Ripley says she will punish Sonya Deville for her agenda against her. Costing her The SmackDown Women's Title, having her face multiple stars in one match, pulling her out of high profile matches, and now, not adding her to Team SmackDown at Survivor Series!
🔵 Seth Rollins revives his rivalry with Drew McIntyre: 12min*
Last week on SmackDown, Seth Rollins was left out of the Five-Way match where the winner was set to face Roman Reigns for the Universal Title. Before the match begun, Seth Rollins took out Drew McIntyre during his entrance and replaced him in the five-way match. When the match was in its final moments, Seth Rollins was seconds from winning and guaranteeing a match with Reigns before Drew McIntyre got involved and claymored Seth, allowing Big E to pin Rollins for the win.
Now that Seth Rollins has turned his focus on Drew McIntyre, he only thinks it's appropriate that he digs into the pair's history.
A couple of years ago, Drew McIntyre was Mr. Money in the Bank, he cashed in the contract on then Universal Champion Seth Rollins to win the title, but his reign was short-lived at 21 day when Seth Rollins defeated McIntyre to regain his title.
Drew McIntyre couldn't hear more of Rollins' ranting and he attacked the latter.
Next week, it was announced that Drew McIntyre and Seth Rollins will go one-on-one. Also announced by Micheal Cole, that Team SmackDown at Survivor Series will be Seth Rollins, Drew McIntyre, Sheamus, Cesaro, and Damian Priest.
