SmackDown preview, Oct. 11, 2016: The Demon & The Viper enter dark territory
After Luke Harper reemerged to help Bray Wyatt conquer Randy Orton at No Mercy, The Viper has entitled the assistance of a Demon with no love for The New Face of Fear.

Orton & Kane join forces to invade dark territory
What a tangled web we continuously weave.

The eerie game of tit-for-tat between Bray Wyatt and Randy Orton continued at No Mercy with another shocking chapter when Wyatt-follower Luke Harper made a surprise return to assist The Eater of Worlds in victory.

Now, to help counter the darkness, The Viper has enlisted the help of a Demon. Tonight on SmackDown LIVE, WWE’s Apex Predator will join forces with The Demon Kane against The New Face of Fear and his dangerous disciple. Don’t miss a second of the ever-evolving conflict between Team Blue’s most vengeful Superstars?

What is next for the AJ Styles and the WWE World Championship?
AJ Styles retained the WWE World Championship at No Mercy following a historic and controversial main event that saw both John Cena and Dean Ambrose stake a claim to a submission victory over The Phenomenal One. However, with no clear cut winner, the match resumed and ultimately saw Styles prevail after assaulting Cena with a steel chair, which is legal under Triple Threat rules.

What will Cena and Ambrose have to say after they made Styles tap at No Mercy? And will a new challenger be named for “The Champ that Runs the Camp?” Find out on SmackDown LIVE!

How long can Dolph Ziggler stay atop the mountain as Intercontinental Champion?
In an incredible scene, Dolph Ziggler finally overcame his demons at No Mercy, defeating The Miz for the Intercontinental Championship in a contest that absolutely brought the house down at the SmackDown LIVE exclusive event. The scene was emotional and powerful, but the question now quickly becomes … how long can he keep the title?

Will The A-Lister ask for an immediate rematch? And what will he have to say after months of antagonizing The Showoff?

Is there a new glow shining on the SmackDown Women’s Championship picture?
With Becky Lynch unable to defend her championship at No Mercy against Alexa Bliss, Naomi stepped in on short notice to take on the No. 1 contender, defeating Bliss after a rough and tumble, back and forth battle.

Bliss was guaranteed her championship match Nov. 8 in Glasgow, Scotland, upon Lynch’s return, but now, with Naomi’s victory, does The Glow have a legitimate case to being added to the immediate title picture?

Face the facts: Curt Hawkins debuts this week
Fact: Debuting on SmackDown LIVE is enough to incite tears of joy … too bad Curt Hawkins has never cried.
