The post-Survivor Series edition of SmackDown started with Roman Reigns, who applauded the Superstars of the Blue brand for their performance at the pay-per-view. That list didn't include King Corbin and he made his way out after The Big Dog had mentioned him. A back-and-forth verbal encounter resulted in Corbin's ally, Robert Roode, facing Roman Reigns in the first match of the night.
Roode and Reigns went on to deliver a pretty entertaining matchup where The Big Dog prevailed. Post-match, he suffered a 3-on-1 handicap scenario when Corbin, Roode, and Ziggler had ganged up on him but once again, Roman Reigns was able to topple the trio.
SmackDown also featured the return of former WWE Champion Sheamus, who sent out a warning to the roster of the Blue brand. Alexa Bliss also showed up to aid her friend, Nikki Cross, against Sonya Deville and Mandy Rose. In a backstage segment featuring Dana Brooke and Drake Maverick, the returning Elias made his presence felt as well.
