5 Ups And 3 Downs From WWE SmackDown (Oct 15)

1. The New Day Attack Telegraphs Pay-Per-View Finish

After the bumper 6-man tag-team match main event on Smackdown, The New Day put the boots to The Dudley Boyz. In typical WWE fashion, this directly lets fans know who's leaving the WWE Tag-Team Titles at Hell In A Cell. Thus far, Big E, Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods have managed to escape every time they've come up against Bubba Ray and D-Von. Surely that won't be the case following the next Pay-Per-View. It's actually confusing that the company haven't simply booked a Tables Match for the show. After all, that's the trademark match of The Dudleyz, and tables have played a big part in the feud so far. The New Day have even repeatedly mentioned them during their promos. Standing tall at the tail end of Smackdown, it seems plausible that The New Day will be kissing goodbye to their tag belts shortly. The feud has been running for several months now, ever since The Dudley Boyz returned in August. At both Night Of Champions and Live From Madison Square Garden, The Dudleyz won by disqualification, meaning they're surely due an outright win at Hell In A Cell.
