This week's edition of Smackdown took place in Knoxville, Tennessee on Tuesday night. It was the last WWE show that took place before Survivor Series. There was a major stipulation announced on the show, which we'll get to in this look at the spoilers of the show. Give WWE credit for not Smackdown a throwaway show this week because they have done that in the recent past. Some weeks if you watch Smackdown they barely do anything to make you feel like it is a "must see" show, but this week it has definitely got people talking. When the spoilers came out last night, there was a lot of buzz on social media about it. Prior to Smackdown, WWE taped and aired Main Event on WWE Network. Tyson Kidd and his wife Natalya beat Rose and The Bunny in an "Inter-species Match" to further the angle with Rose and the Bunny. There was also an easy win for Bray Wyatt over Jack Swagger in the main event of the show. That's interesting only because they said Swagger was too injured to compete at Survivor Series, yet he's already back in action. Maybe WWE can just say that Cena replaced him with others, but they should have just kept him off shows until next week. John Cena wasn't at the taping during the show or after it. His team was there, but he wasn't. What kind of leader is that? We started doing this breakdown of the spoilers two weeks ago because it's important to talk about the storyline progression in WWE. Obviously this is being written without actually seeing the show. The opinions are based off results that that were posted online and what I'll do is focus mainly on the storylines involved in each match. Here's a closer look at the key matches and segments from this week's edition of Smackdown.
