On Friday night, WWE aired its final episode of scheduled programming before the Survivor Series event. SmackDown had everything a go-home episode should have, as not only did we get to witness great matches and segments that set up the events which will unfold on Sunday but also got another great invasion angle to end the transmission.
Throughout the night, the company kept giving certain hints as to what fans could expect from the event and the matches that will take place.
In this article, we'll look at 5 things WWE hinted on SmackDown this week in the final build to Survivor Series.
#5 Kofi Kingston will win it for his team
After a segment involving Shinsuke Nakamura, Sami Zayn, and the new Intercontinental Championship, we saw The Undisputed Era make an appearance on SmackDown once again.
The New Day arrived to battle the four men who attacked them last week, and Heavy Machinery appeared to partner up with them in an eight-man tag team clash. The match started well, and an argument between Otis and Big E saw Kofi Kingston play the iron man in the contest.
WWE has always seen Kofi as an iron man, and we’ve seen great performances from him in the past which have impressed the WWE Universe. While Kofi was nowhere to be seen after he tagged out after a long spell in the ring, he could prove to be the man who helps his team pick up the victory on Sunday.
The Undisputed Era won Friday’s match as Kofi did not make it back into the match, and the company could use him to orchestrate the victory for SmackDown at Survivor Series. The New Day is arguably still the biggest faction and the best merchandise movers in the company, so WWE would want to put them across as the best once again.
