5 Biggest Winners & Losers From WWE SmackDown (Nov 1)
Dean Ambrose is back in the driving seat.
There was very little to complain out on last night’s SmackDown Live. WWE’s blue brand presented one of its most well-rounded shows yet, with a stack of highly quality storytelling from top to bottom. The matches were mostly powderpuff, sure, but each served a purpose in the grand scheme, and let's be honest, does anyone really want to watch The Headbangers wrestle for more than a minute or two anyway?
Survivor Series and James Ellsworth dominated throughout. The latter has become a genuine cult hero on SmackDown, and his success is remarkable. Ellsworth played a decisive role in SD’s main event for the second consecutive week, but things actually went to plan this time around, and his friendship with Dean Ambrose has been reignited.
SmackDown’s Survivor Series teams started taking shape last week, but the brand made major waves last night. They’ve now completed their lineups for the women’s and men’s elimination matches, and have just one slot left to fill for the 10-on-10 tag team match.
Moreover, SD’s superstars are hungry for glory, and fired-up by the opportunity to prove themselves against Raw. If last night’s show conveyed anything, it’s that SmackDown’s roster are relishing the opportunity, and Survivor Series suddenly sounds like a very big deal indeed.
As strong as the show was, not everybody was able to emerge with their momentum intact. Here are the 5 biggest winners and losers from WWE SmackDown live.
