SmackDown LIVE preview, Nov. 28, 2017: Randy Orton looks for payback against Kevin Owens

After Kevin Owens & Sami Zayn interfered to cost Randy Orton and Team SmackDown the battle for brand supremacy at Survivor Series, The Viper was sent home from Houston to prevent him from unleashing his fury on the two. This week, there will be no hiding from the seething Apex Predator for Owens, as the two will meet in one-on-one competition. What will happen when Orton gets his hands on Owens? Find out tonight on SmackDown LIVE at 8/7 C on USA Network!

The SmackDown LIVE Superstars were left fuming after Kevin Owens & Sami Zayn meddled in the Men’s Traditional Survivor Series Match to contribute to Team Blue’s loss to Raw in the battle for brand supremacy at Survivor Series. Randy Orton was so angry, SmackDown LIVE General Manager Daniel Bryan had to send him home to prevent The Viper from taking matters into his own hands.

After revealing that he would not be firing Owens and Zayn, Bryan also gave KO a preview of what lied ahead for him: a one-on-one battle with The Apex Predator. What will happen when Orton has Owens to himself inside the squared circle?

Ruby Riot, Liv Morgan & Sarah Logan make their in-ring debut in Six-Woman Tag Team action

Last Tuesday, the SmackDown LIVE Women’s division was turned on its head with the shocking arrival of of Ruby Riot, Liv Morgan & Sarah Logan from NXT. The trio immediately made their presence felt, viciously attacking Naomi and Becky Lynch in the locker room, then interrupting the SmackDown Women’s Title Match between Charlotte Flair and Natalya, laying waste to both competitors.

This week on SmackDown LIVE, the newcomers will get the opportunity to back up their impactful arrival inside the squared circle when they make their in-ring debut. Riot, Morgan & Logan will face Charlotte, Naomi & Natalya in a Six-Woman Tag Team Match. Will the veteran members of Team Blue teach the rookies a lesson in respect, or will Riot, Morgan & Logan continue to run roughshod over SmackDown LIVE?

AJ Styles faces The Singh Brothers in a Handicap Match

Despite being two days removed from a grueling battle with Universal Champion Brock Lesnar, WWE Champion AJ Styles boldly called out Jinder Mahal last Tuesday for The Modern Day Maharaja’s WWE Championship rematch. However, Mahal had no interest in competing that night, instead declaring that the rematch would take place on his terms at WWE Clash of Champions on Sunday, Dec. 17.

As soon as Mahal made the blockbuster announcement, The Singh Brothers blindsided The Phenomenal One, though Styles soon overwhelmed Samir and Sunil and stared Mahal down as he planted Samir into the canvas with the Styles Clash. After the attack, it was announced that Styles will face The Singhs in a Handicap Match on tonight’s edition of SmackDown LIVE. Will Styles dominate Mahal’s cohorts once again?

The New Day square off with Shelton Benjamin & Chad Gable

Shelton Benjamin & Chad Gable have been quite the confident tandem ever since they earned the right to challenge SmackDown Tag Team Champions The Usos, then defeated the champions in a title match, albeit by countout.

The mat-wrestling masters believe they should get another crack at Jimmy & Jey’s titles, which doesn’t sit well with four-time Tag Team Champions The New Day. The two teams have been going back and forth on social media, leading to a tag team showdown being made for SmackDown LIVE. Who will emerge victorious?

The Fashion Files returns with a question: “Do you want to play a game?”

When we last saw The Fashion Files, stranger(er) things were afoot for Tyler Breeze, Fandango and their best pals, The Ascension. But their investigation got turned upside down when the lights went out at the precinct. When power returned, The Fashion Police’s office was in shreds as a video showing a mysterious masked figure made an enigmatic statement: “Let the games begin.”

What does that shadowy declaration mean for Breezango and their best friends? Find out in an all-new Fashion Files, tonight on SmackDown LIVE at 8/7 C on USA Network!

Forget what I said yesterday; how stupid would it be if Team Blue's SHEld copies Red's 6-woman verbatim?

And if Red's SHELd name is Absolution; are Team Blue: Vindication?

Would be interesting if they were all in the same group. ..trying to take over both women's division.....doubt it is that.

Orton better blow vape smoke into Owens face after he beats him tonight....for the culture.

There's a rumor that Paige may be behind the SDL women's group, but I haven't seen much to back it up.

 

[Deezy]

Would mean more Paige promos.....pass.

She loses all momentum when she has to cut long promos....it really loses my interest tbh.

It might mean Mandy on Tuesday nights tho?

For real, I don't need two Paige promos a week. Just let Mandy and Sonya kill bitches.

More Mandy Rose showing that perfect body every week is reasonable s to tune in...

If they're doing a women's Rumble...I'd have them both do the exact same stuff everyweek until the reveal during said Rumble and both factions helping Paige win it.

Absolutely. If that's the endgame, no better time to reveal her aces in the hole than to have all 5 women help her win The Royal Rumble. I definitely don't think winning the belt now or revealing the alliance now would help. It would also give Bliss more time to slow build into a babyface if that's the direction they are indeed going with.

Has Shane ever talked about how God made him look stupid or is he still trying to blame those poor Canadians?
