3 Things WWE hinted on the SmackDown after Survivor Series (29 November 2019)
While RAW and NXT produced great episodes after Survivor Series, it was time for SmackDown to close the Thanksgiving weekend on a high note, delivering a good show. With a title match and a couple of interesting Firefly Fun House segments, SmackDown was certainly a coruscating episode this week.
The show began with Roman Reigns, who picked up a colossal victory for Team SmackDown at Survivor Series, remaining the sole survivor of the match. The Big Dog beat Robert Roode in a singles match this week. Sheamus, a four-time WWE Champion, returned after a gap of seven months, while Alexa Bliss and Elias also came back after a hiatus. Losing their Survivor Series matches, Bayley and Sasha Banks lashed out at the whole women's locker room of SmackDown, but Lacey Evans was quick to respond, knocking out Sasha Banks with a Woman's Right.
WWE hinted several things on the show this week, planting the seeds for TLC. Let's talk about three things WWE hinted this week.
#3 Lacey Evans will get a title shot against Bayley
There is no doubt that the SmackDown women's division let down Blue brand, losing both Survivor Series matches. Despite a valiant effort from Sasha Banks, the Blue brand failed to win the women's Survivor Series match. Bayley, the SmackDown Women's Champion, tapped out to Shayna Baszler in the main event.
Instead of taking the blame on themselves, Bayley and Sasha Banks held the whole SmackDown Women's locker room responsible for the dismal performance at Survivor Series. However, Lacey Evans, who was also part of Team SmackDown, didn't like Banks' words, and she came out to confront the duo. The Sassy Southern Belle left the ring after laying out The Boss.
The segment certainly hinted that Evans is Bayley's next opponent and could possibly challenge the SmackDown Women's Championship at TLC.
Evans is slowly turning face and she will gain momentum if the rivalry progresses in the next few weeks. Evans already had a lengthy feud for the RAW Women's Championship earlier this year, but she didn't succeed in capturing the gold.
