SmackDown LIVE preview, Dec. 5, 2017: Will Zayn face any consequences for his interference?

Last week, Sami Zayn was barred from ringside by Shane McMahon for the match between his best friend Kevin Owens and Randy Orton, but Zayn defied the order, waiting until the bout spilled to the top of the stage and away from ringside to clobber The Viper with a steel chair, aiding KO in winning the bout. Will Zayn face any repercussions for his defiance? Find out on SmackDown LIVE, tonight at 8/7 C on USA Network!

Will Sami Zayn face any consequences for his actions last week?

Last Tuesday, Sami Zayn was barred from ringside by Shane McMahon for the main event battle between his best friend Kevin Owens and Randy Orton. Zayn, in direct defiance of the SmackDown LIVE Commissioner, waited until the match left ringside to interfere, clobbering The Viper with a steel chair and helping KO win.

With the intense scrutiny he and Owens have faced over the last few months, one would think that this deed will not go unpunished, though Zayn could make the argument that he technically didn’t break any of Shane’s rules since his interference did not occur at ringside. What consequences await Zayn this week on SmackDown LIVE?

Bobby Roode to battle Baron Corbin ahead of WWE Clash of Champions

Over the weekend, a blockbuster United States Championship Triple Threat Match was announced for WWE Clash of Champions, featuring Baron Corbin defending his title against Bobby Roode and Dolph Ziggler. The Lone Wolf will get a chance to scout one of his opponents ahead of the WWE Network special this week when he takes on Roode in one-on-one action.

Will The Glorious One give The Lone Wolf a preview of what lies ahead in their title match, or will Corbin make Roode face his End of Days?

Charlotte Flair to take on Tamina

Another bout confirmed for WWE Clash of Champions will see SmackDown Women’s Champion Charlotte Flair defending the gold against former titleholder Natalya. However, The Queen shouldn’t be looking past the rest of the division as she prepares for the match.

This week on SmackDown LIVE, she’ll be taking on Tamina, perhaps the hardest-hitting competitor in the SmackDown LIVE Women’s division. Can Tamina knock the champion down a few notches before her big title defense?

What will reign supreme: The Power of Positivity or Rusev Day?

The New Day have made no bones about it: They’re focused on regaining the SmackDown Tag Team Championship. They’ll get the opportunity to do that at WWE Clash of Champions, but Kofi Kingston, Xavier Woods & Big E will first have to deal with the tandem of Rusev & Aiden English.

The pair who make every day Rusev Day have bumped into The New Day on several occasions and have often been mocked by the positive trio. What will happen when these two teams come to blows inside the squared circle?

The Bludgeon Brothers’ reign of terror continues

Since their arrival on SmackDown LIVE two weeks ago, The Bludgeon Brothers have lived up to their names, demolishing The Hype Bros in consecutive weeks. But with Mojo Rawley battering Zack Ryder after their most recent loss, The Bludgeon Brothers are on the lookout for more Superstars to devour.

Harper & Rowan will be in action on SmackDown LIVE, but who will step up to take on this monstrous duo? Find out tonight at 8/7 C on USA Network!

Looks like a very skipable show

Looks like Sami is dancing with a chair

Cue the Shane McMahon entrance in....3......2.....

 

[Deezy]

I'm still disappointed they aren't calling it the SamOwens show.

 

[Kross Rhodes]

Does Shane have anything other than shortcomings?

 

[Apoho Creed]

The rules of engagement told by Sami Zayn lol.

 

[Deezy]

in honor of the season finale of Sami's other show. ...he has to run from someone screaming "the fatwa's over!"

 

[Kross Rhodes]

Does Sami not know know the word for the ramp?

 

[Deezy]

Should update Ortons character as an aging hipster who replaced his smoking habit. ...call him The Vapor Randy Orton

 

[Kross Rhodes]

If there was no vendetta you wouldn't steal their spotlight every chance you got.

 

[Kross Rhodes]

You want to handcuff KO to the ring rope? That won't backfire on you at all. Nope.

 

[Deezy]

Orton has to be Shanes version of "going one on one wit da Undah-taykah"

 

[Apoho Creed]

No..no I don't have a vendetta against Owens and Zayn, then he forgets what his says and breaks that rule.

Alzheimer's

Have anyone there not watched pro wrestling over the past century? Handcuff gimmick never works for the good guys
