WWE Smackdown Spoilers: 7 Things You Need To Know (Nov 18th)

3. Luke Harper Defeated Cesaro And Met His Former Partner

Luke Harper, the new IC Champion, was in a match against Cesaro. That's an odd choice for an opponent since they're both heels. Cesaro teased being on Cena's team on Raw, but it was all just a ruse. A longer match between them would be pretty good. Instead, their match was only about three minutes long with Harper getting the win. What's interesting about that result is that Harper actually used the Torture Rack as his finishing move. Assuming the reader that shared the spoilers knows what the move is, it was a submission move that Lex Luger used. He put his opponent across his back, then jumped up and down to cause pain to him. The opponent then quits, which leads to the submission win. Harper is a big guy that can pick up most people, so that's a smart move to do as a finisher. There was also a tease of a fight between Harper and his former Wyatt Family partner Erick Rowan. They didn't end up fighting, though. When they have the match at Survivor Series it will probably be a big moment when they go face to face and start throwing punches. It wouldn't be a surprise if they have a feud immediately after Survivor Series too. Strike while the iron is hot.
