SmackDown LIVE preview, Oct: 31, 2017: Team Blue set to take shape ahead of Survivor Series
SmackDown’s squad for Survivor Series will begin to take shape this Tuesday, as two huge qualifying matches will take place. Bobby Roode will square off against Dolph Ziggler in a 2-out-of-3 Falls Match, and Shinsuke Nakamura will take on Kevin Owens. Who will join Randy Orton on Team SmackDown for a showdown with Raw at Survivor Series? Find out during Smackdown LIVE, tonight at 8/7 C on USA Network!
Shinsuke Nakamura battles Kevin Owens for the right to join Team SmackDown
A highly-coveted spot on Team SmackDown will be up for grabs in a battle between Shinsuke Nakamura and Kevin Owens. There is no love lost between the two Superstars, whose rivalry dates back to before their time in WWE. WWE’s Rockstar emerged victorious in a thrilling bout the last time he collided with KO on SmackDown LIVE.
Will Owens even the score and turn Team SmackDown into Team Kevin, or will Nakamura show that he is worthy of representing Team Blue in a showdown with Raw at Survivor Series?
AJ Styles takes on Samir Singh
Last Tuesday on SmackDown LIVE, Sunil Singh attempted to defend the honor of WWE Champion Jinder Mahal by clashing with AJ Styles. Despite The Modern Day Maharaja’s best efforts to interfere in the bout, Sunil was bulldozed by The Phenomenal One after Mahal was ejected from ringside.
However, where Sunil failed, his brother is promising to succeed. After Sunil’s loss, Samir stepped up and declared that he would battle in Mahal’s honor this week against Styles. Will The Phenomenal One subject Samir to the same punishment his brother faced, or can Samir make the WWE Champion proud?
Bobby Roode squares off with Dolph Ziggler in a 2-out-of-3 Falls Match
Another spot on Team SmackDown for Survivor Series will be up for grabs when Bobby Roode and Dolph Ziggler lock horns in a 2-out-of 3 Falls Match. The rivalry between these two Superstars has grown extremely heated, featuring blindside attacks, harsh words and dirty tactics.
Now, the two will meet in a battle that will test their endurance. Will Roode go on to make Team SmackDown glorious, or will Ziggler prove that his rival is nothing more than a flash in the pan?
Breezango enter The Upside Down in “Strangerer Things”

Sin Cara demands a rematch with Baron Corbin
Last week on SmackDown LIVE, Sin Cara defeated United States Champion Baron Corbin in non-title action for the second straight week. However, this time, it was by disqualification after Corbin pummeled the masked man in the corner and refused to let up after the official’s five-count.
The ambush continued on the arena floor, where The Lone Wolf planted Sin Cara with the devastating End of Days. WWE.com has learned that Sin Cara is demanding a rematch to settle the score with the United States Champion. What will happen when these two rivals clash again? Find out tonight on SmackDown LIVE at 8/7 C on USA Network!
