WWE ThunderDome will have a new home starting from this week’s episode of SmackDown. A new environment will help to bring in more intensity in the rivalries on the show targeting the next pay-per-view event, TLC. Roman Reigns is going to be the usual headliner of the night as we expect him to give a message to the title match challenger Kevin Owens when the show airs from the Tropicana Field in Tampa Bay, Florida.

WWE Smackdown Preview (11/12/20): Roman Reigns; Carmella-Sasha Banks

Last week, Roman Reigns was insulting SmackDown show host Kayla Braxton when Kevin Owens joined the party wishing to compete in a title match against The Head of the Table and WWE TLC or right there. Reigns accepted but walked away as a true gentleman only to hear Owens talking trash about him with the mic.

Owens paid the price for the insult during the SmackDown main event where Roman Reigns unleashed a chair attack on him. The brutal attack even included his own cousin Jey Uso for not following his instructions. Apparently, that wasn’t enough for WWE’s Tribal Chief who may be looking forward to doing some more damage to the Prizefighter on tonight’s episode.

Natalya defeated former SmackDown Women’s Champion Bayley in a singles encounter by applying the Sharpshooter. During the match, Bianca Belair sat at ringside. Once the match ended, Belair gave the outcome a standing ovation, something that clearly Bayley didn’t like. For the past couple of weeks, these two are trying to build a rift that should be solidified. This, in turn, will set up a match at WWE TLC between the two of them.

On a night where WWE paid tribute to Pat Patterson, a tag team match took place featuring former Intercontinental Champions, last week. Daniel Bryan scored the pinfall win against the current IC Champion Sami Zayn to lead his team to the important victory. This must have put him in the front of the line for getting a title shot. Tonight,s Big E also gets an opportunity to get into the title picture when he faces Zayn in a singles contest.

Following weeks of attacks in recent weeks, Carmella finally had some war of words with the SmackDown Women’s Champion, Sasha Banks. The verbal jabs ended with Banks offering a title shot to Mella. The situation was intense but both Banks and her new challenger agreed to settle their differences at TLC. So which one of them will gain an advantage ahead of the PPV while signing the contract for their TLC match? The question will be answered on tonight’s episode from WWE’s new home in Tropicana Field.
