SmackDown Results: Former NXT Superstar challenges Charlotte; Two superstars removed from Survivor Series teams

Jeff Hardy vs. Sami Zayn on SmackDown

The match was underway as we returned to the ring on SmackDown and Hardy got an early near fall off a hip toss. Sami turned it around and unloaded on him after taking him down to the mat before escaping the ring once Jeff recovered.

Hardy hit a dropkick through the ropes and tried for a Senton on the barricades but Sami sidestepped before we headed for a break. Hardy was back in control when we came back and got the Whisper in the Wind for a near fall.

Sami dodged the Twist of Fate once but caught it on the second try before Hardy followed up with the Swanton Bomb for the win.

Result: Jeff Hardy def. Sami Zayn and Zayn was removed from the SmackDown Survivor Series team

Hit Row was back on SmackDown and cut a promo via rapping. Elsewhere in the arena, 'the real slim Shanky' dropped some bars in Hindi as a reply and Jinder called them Cringe Row before we moved on.
