Alberto Del Rio def. Neville

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. – On this week’s SmackDown, Bray Wyatt and The Wyatt Family dominated their traditional Survivor Series Elimination Match, The Usos made an explosive tag team return to Thursday nights and Kevin Owens got one over on The Lunatic Fringe.

The Man That Gravity Forgot takes on the United States Champion and MexAmerica.

Prior to United States Champion Alberto Del Rio’s match against Neville, he and Zeb Colter explained why there is no room for haters in MexAmerica – a notion that they were striving to rise above.

In the match that followed, while it looked for a moment as if Neville might hit the Red Arrow on Del Rio, the Essence of Excellence managed to turn the tables, trapping him upside down in the ropes, before leaping off the top rope and stomping down onto his opponent with both feet for the victory.

When Del Rio locked The Man That Gravity Forgot into a post-match Cross Armbreaker, however, Jack Swagger emerged, leading to a face-off between the titleholder and Colter’s former protégé.

The Usos def. The Ascension

Jimmy & Jey Uso return to SmackDown against the awesome combination of Viktor and Konnor.

Amid a fury of double kicks and high-flying mayhem, Jey & Jimmy Uso returned to SmackDown tag team action, overcoming Konnor & Viktor with a Samoan Splash. The dynamic tandem is back, focused on reclaiming the WWE Tag Team Titles. 

The Wyatt Family def. The Lucha Dragons & The Prime Time Players

The Wyatt Family completely dominates The Lucha Dragons & The Prime Time Players on the road to Survivor Series.

After displaying the power he “harvested” from the souls of The Undertaker and Demon Kane on Raw, Bray Wyatt and his Wyatt Family competed in a 4-on-4 Traditional Survivor Series Elimination Match on SmackDown.

In a contest where the action would not stop until all of the members of one team were eliminated, The Wyatt Family systematically destroyed their opposition. First, Braun Strowman’s Bear Hug left Darren Young unable to answer the count. Then, Sin Cara was neutralized by Luke Harper’s Discus Clothesline. The numbers advantage allowed Titus O’Neil to be neutralized long enough for Erick Rowan to overcome Kalisto. This cleared the way for Wyatt to finish off O’Neil with Sister Abigail.

Ryback def. King Barrett

The Big Guy goes head-to-head with King Barrett.

In the height of King Barrett’s showdown against Ryback, The Big Guy countered his opponent’s royal headlock by picking him up and blasting him with Shell Shocked for another huge win.  

Natalya def. Tamina

Regardless of whether she is the leader of Team B.A.D or not, Tamina steps through the ropes to answer the challenge of The Queen of Harts.

Earlier in the day, on WWE’s Facebook, Natalya challenged the “leader” of Team B.A.D. to a SmackDown match. Though there was some confusion between Sasha Banks and Naomi over who that leader was, Tamina quickly quelled any controversy by volunteering herself. In spite of interference from Naomi and Sasha, when Tamina attempted to hit the Splash off the top rope, The Queen of Harts left her eating boot and rolled her opponent up for the three-count.

Kevin Owens def. Dean Ambrose by Disqualification

The Lunatic Fringe engages in a main event clash against the reigning Intercontinental Champion.

In the final moments of SmackDown’s knock-down, drag-out main event, after Dean Ambrose hit Kevin Owens with a kick, the Prizefighter made it seem as if his adversary had delivered a low blow. The referee bought this performance, disqualifying The Lunatic Fringe.  However, when the replay was shown and it was revealed that it was a clean kick, Ambrose launched a post-match assault of pure retribution and sent Owens packing.
