4 MVPs from this week's SmackDown Live (November 20th, 2018)

Survivor Series may have been the single worst night in the 19-year history of WWE SmackDown Live.

Losing 6-0 at Survivor Series (though the New Day rightly protest it is 6-1), things could not have been positive in the team Blue lockerroom last night.

Despite this, last night, the Superstars of Tuesday night put on a fun, exciting show, just two days away from Thanksgiving 2018.

But out of all the performers last night, there were some who were able to dazzle the WWE Universe more than others.

Here are just four Superstars who were the Most Valuable Players of the November 20th, edition of SmackDown Live.

#4 Charlotte Flair

The Queen says she's ready for Rousey's next move.

Starting the show, SmackDown Live began with a package looking back at Survivor Series, clearly focusing on some of the few positives that the blue brand had that night.

The main focus was on Charlotte Flair, who despite losing to Ronda Rousey via a disqualification, lambasted the UFC star with a Kendo stick and a steel chair, leaving the RAW Women's Champion, worse for wear.

Starting the show, Flair received a hero's welcome by the crowd, which is definitely a positive for her, as working as a face, she has received mixed responses at best, with many comparing her to a female Roman Reigns.

The former Champion continued to get the crowd on her side, talking about how much she enjoyed beating the Hot Rod into a pulp, saying it was all for SmackDown Women's Champion Becky Lynch, Rousey's original pay per view opponent, who was replaced after suffering a concussion.

Her performance tonight definitely re-established the Queen as one of the Blue brand's top stars (regardless of gender), and with this attack, it's clearly only a matter of time before Ronda Rousey takes her revenge on the first RAW Women's Champion.

#3 The New Day

A devastating clothesline made this Turkey fly.

Whilst the New Day have become one of the most successful tag-teams in WWE history, there are plenty of fans who feel the trio's act has become stale, done to death and at worst, down-right cringy.

I'm not sure if tonight's win will change those minds, but the first ever Thanksgiving Feast Fight was certainly entertaining, as Woods, Kofi and Big E took it to The Bar and the Big Show.

With Pumpkin pies, stuffed Turkey, and Green Beans a-plenty, the match was proved to be a messy war, with both teams trying to fight off the others, plus that classic post-Thanksgiving dinner drowsiness.

Decked head to toe in Pilgrim garb, the New Day were able to hold their own over their European rivals, as well as the World's Largest Athlete, picking up the win in a hilarious match.

The Bootylicious Superstars will have plenty to be thankful for this Turkey Day.

#2 Daniel Bryan

Bryan said his dreams made him turn bad.

The decision to turn Daniel Bryan heel, must not have been an easy one.

Bryan has been one of WWE's most beloved, and more importantly, most natural babyfaces in recent memory, and the WWE has turned several of it's most natural faces heel in recent months, most notably Sami Zayn and Becky Lynch.

But after refusing to explain his heartless actions last week that helped Bryan become WWE Champion, the new D-Bry finally gave an explanation, and sure did deliver.

Describing the fans as fickle, Bryan spoke about the YES! chants growing quieter during his retirement, and even when he returned to in-ring competition earlier this year.

Saying the YES! Movement is dead, Bryan also berated the fans for chanting for AJ Styles, the man who Bryan beat for the coveted gold, ending his reign at 371 Days.

This by far, was one of the best promos in the bearded warrior's career.

#1 Randy Orton

Orton attempts to demasked the Underdog.

When Randy Orton wants to make the effort, there are very few who can come close to matching the Viper.

Returning at the Extreme Rules pay per view earlier this year, fans have seen an intensity from the Apex Predator that has been missing for years, in his constant efforts to destroy Jeff Hardy.

Last night though, Orton turned his attention to another one of WWE's most popular Superstars, Rey Mysterio, destroying the masked sensation in the main event.

To make things worse for the Ultimate Underdog, Orton removed Mysterio's mask, a huge insult to the luchador's rich Lucha libre heritage.

The attack was definitely one of Orton's most shocking encounters and is seemingly the first step in what will surely be an entertaining feud between the two.

And with the Road to WrestleMania 35 just around the corner, both men will be hungry to prove themselves.
