Viper’s Revenge.
The 949th edition of WWE SmackDown LIVE came to you, live, from the BMO Harris Bradley Center in Milwaukee, WI. With the world still buzzing about Shane McMahon leading the SmackDown LIVE invasion of RAW last night where the blue brand made an emphatic statement ahead of Survivor Series, where RAW and SmackDown LIVE Superstars will compete against each other, by attacking every RAW Superstar in sight in the backstage area, Shane McMahon would make his first appearance on SmackDown LIVE since his vicious Falls Count Anywhere Hell in a Cell Match against Kevin Owens at WWE Hell in a Cell. What will the SmackDown LIVE Commissioner have to say about Sami Zayn saving Kevin Owens at WWE Hell in a Cell? What else does Shane have up his sleeve as the war against RAW at Survivor Series draws near? Also on SmackDown LIVE, after AJ Styles confronted WWE Champion Jinder Mahal last week and made clear his intentions to challenge “The Modern Day Maharaja” for the WWE Championship, Jinder decided to put one of The Singh Brothers, Sunil, in a match against AJ Styles on this week’s SmackDown LIVE, saying that Sunil will compete in Jinder’s “honor”. How will Sunil fare in a one-on-one match against AJ Styles? Will Jinder Mahal have a response to what Brock Lesnar’s advocate Paul Heyman had to say about him on RAW?
