SmackDown Winners: Robert Roode and Dolph Ziggler
This was the annoying trope of champions losing on SmackDown TV to set up a PPV match. However, after their victory at Survivor Series over the New Day, the Street Profits could afford it. Robert Roode and Dolph Ziggler gained a lot more than their opponents lost, as they go on to TLC for a tag team title challenge.
Their chances of victory are slim, but it's far better than the idleness that both men have seen repeatedly over their careers. We can hope that the pay-per-view match will be a good one.

SmackDown Winner: Bianca Belair
Bianca Belair defeated Natalya on SmackDown. However, as expected, it was a setup for her upcoming feud with Bayley, which should only help her going forward.
There is a real chance that Belair will win that feud and become the challenger to Sasha Banks at the Royal Rumble, which would be a huge spot for her.
We'll see how the coming weeks on SmackDown treat Bianca Belair and what the landscape looks like going into TLC. She's heading in the right direction.
