Welcome back to the blog. let's talk about what happened on SmackDown, the Survivor Series go-home show, which took place from Providence, Rhode Island. 

After so much speculation, Becky Lynch was revealed as the Fifth and final member of Bianca Belair's team, The Man will be joining The EST, Alexa, Asuka and Mia Yim to take on Bayley, Dakota Kai, Iyo Sky and Rhea Ripley for WarGames, this lead to a fight between the teams, they more or less continued where they left from RAW.

Santos Escobar defeated Butch to advance to the SmackDown World Cup Final. Butch was distracted by the backstage brawl between The Brawling Brutes & The Bloodline that was shown on the titantron in the closing stages of this match. 

We saw a recap of last week's events about the LA Knight, Bray Wyatt storyline prior to Wyatt's in ring promo, he name dropped the Fiend, which got a nice reaction from the thousands in attendance, he said he did not attack LA Knight, we saw a vignette about his past, ending with Uncle Howdy's face, this led to LA Knight's response backstage, we saw the usual Wyatt cryptic message appear on screen. 

The Viking Raiders w/Valhalla (aka Sarah Logan) defeated Top Dolla and Ashante "Thee" Adonis of Hit Row. B-Fab was in their corner. 

We saw footage of Dominik attacking Rey at his home as part of the Digital Exclusive.

The SmackDown World Cup Final is set. Santos Escobar vs. Ricochet, which will take place next week. Check out the match when it airs on TV to find out who wins.
