Since moving to FOX, SmackDown has been delivering good shows every week, and it wasn't different this week. The second last episode before Survivor Series had several spectacular matches with another NXT invasion.

The Universal Championship, the primary world title on the Blue Brand, got a new colour, as Bray Wyatt introduced a blue Universal Title.

Moreover, Bray Wyatt got his opponent for Survivor Series, where The Fiend will face Daniel Bryan, putting the Universal Championship on the line.

The Undisputed Era made their presence felt on SmackDown again, interrupting the tag team rematch between The Revival and The New Day.

Dolph Ziggler and Robert Roode lost the opportunity of representing SmackDown at Survivor Series as they were beaten by Ali and Shorty G. Led by Rhea Ripley, the NXT Women's Team lost to the SmackDown Women's Team in an eight-woman tag team match.

While it was an action-packed episode, the fans might have missed some hints WWE dropped this week. Let's talk about three things WWE hinted this week.


#3 The Revival will get a title shot in the future

The Revival, who lost the SmackDown Tag Team Titles to the New Day last week, had a rematch on the Blue Brand this week. Similar to the last bout, they were expected to offer a stupendous match, but the match ended in a no contest, owing to interference from The Undisputed Era.

The Revival were supposed to face The Undisputed Era and The Viking Raiders at Survivor Series, but it changed last week, with The New Day's victory over The Revival. Heading to the pay-per-view, Kofi Kingston and Big E will represent the tag team division of SmackDown. Given The New Day are a seven-time Tag Team Champions, they have a bright chance of winning the match at Survivor Series.

Since the match ended in a no contest, the feud between The Revival and the New Day should extend. Hence, The Revival should get another title shot again after Survivor Series.

#2 Braun Strowman will have a feud with Shinsuke Nakamura

Braun Strowman is yet to find a new feud after his memorable bout against undefeated boxer Tyson Fury. The Monster Among Men is one of the five members of Team SmackDown at Survivor Series, and he will be a top pick to win the match for the Blue Brand.

A major hint was dropped on SmackDown this week when Strowman confronted Sami Zayn and Shinsuke Nakamura in the backstage area. Zayn, the mouthpiece of the Intercontinental Champion, tried convincing Daniel Bryan again, but the latter refused to join their team. Bryan suggested the name of Strowman to join the duo, but Zayn didn't like the idea. During the segment, Strowman had a face-off with Zayn and Nakamura.

Nakamura, the reigning Intercontinental Champion, is scheduled to fight AJ Styles and Roderick Strong at NXT, as the three champions of their respective brands will clash to prove the superior champion.

Judging by the segment this week, Nakamura could find his next challenger in Braun Strowman, and the two Superstars could start a new feud after Survivor Series. Strowman will get the opportunity of winning his first singles title if he starts a rivalry with Nakamura

#1 King Corbin could betray Team SmackDown at Survivor Series

Team SmackDown is set for Survivor Series and the Blue Brand has a new captain. Earlier, Roman Reigns was scheduled to lead the Blue Brand, but King Corbin announced himself as the captain of SmackDown following his emphatic victory over the Big Dog last week. Besides Corbin, Roman Reigns, Braun Strowman, Ali, and Shorty G are part of the team.

Corbin opened the show, mocking Roman Reigns for his defeat last week. Robert Roode and Dolph Ziggler, who helped Corbin to pin Reigns last week, locked horns with Ali and Shorty G. A victory for the former RAW Tag Team Champions could have given then a place in Team SmackDown, replacing Ali and Shorty G. However, Ali and Shorty G retained their places after beating Roode and Ziggler.

Reigns and Corbin are having a rivalry, and the two men are placed in the same team at Survivor Series. Team SmackDown has babyfaces except for Baron Corbin, who is a bad guy. Corbin could turn on his teammates at Survivor Series, considering he is a heel and he is having a feud with Roman Reign.
