The next stop for the WWE programming is going to be WWE Crown Jewel. This will be a global PPV event from Saudi Arabia on this Friday night. One of the major attractions of the night will be the WWE Championship match. The lineup changed as Samoa Joe replaced Daniel Bryan as the challenger. However, this was not the only major announcement from last night’s Smackdown.
Must read: Huge match announced for Survivor Series
Going by the remarks of Smackdown commissioner Shane McMahon, he will fire someone within next week. He ordered that the world cup trophy should come home on his show. There will be four competitors from the blue brand at the world cup tournament. The lineup of the tournament is out following last night’s WWE Raw. It ensures that one of the superstars from Raw will go head to head against a Smackdown superstar in the finale.
As per Shane McMahon, the concerned Smackdown superstar must win his match in the final. If he remains unsuccessful to do so, he will not have a job on the blue brand, anymore. This ensures that one of the four names might get traded to Monday Night Raw following Crown Jewel.
The four names are Rey Mysterio, Jeff Hardy, The Miz, and Randy Orton. The last name has major momentums, right now after downing all the other three superstars with RKOs. Even prior to that, he picked up some consecutive wins to pick up the momentums. It will be interesting to see he turns out to be the one to land on Monday Night Raw following Crown Jewel. But the announcement could be just a hype up for the World Cup tournament as well.
The Smackdown general manager also came up with a major announcement for Survivor Series, too. Paige chose Charlotte Flair as the team captain of Team Blue for the women’s division traditional tag team match. The Queen lost her championship match at Evolution against Becky Lynch to get out of the title picture, for now. So she could be the most valiant name to lead her team to victory.
But the surprising thing is that Charlotte Flair denied being the captain of Survivor Series from Smackdown Live. She might have let the devastating loss at Evolution to go into her heads, deep. Paige advised her to re-think about the decision which she took under consideration. We hope to get a final update on this scenario on next week’s episode of Smackdown.
