7 things WWE subtly told us on SmackDown: Terrible news for NXT, post-Survivor Series rivalry revealed (22nd November 2019)

The go-home show for SmackDown to Survivor Series is officially in the books and it wasn't the best one - but it was important. It's hard to remember a build to Survivor Series that had so many bodies and so many different names. Pretty much every show, every week had an invasion or two. But that's perhaps expected when you involve a whole other brand.

We're still not crazy about the idea that NXT superstars will be competing at WarGames, only to be teaming up the following night but it's a lesson that WWE will perhaps learn from, so we won't be too hard on them for that.

Either way, there were a lot of telling signs on SmackDown and quite a few things we learned. Amidst all the chaos, there were quite a few things that WWE subtly told us. Here are some of them:

#7 Rhea Ripley will be a massive name in the Women's division in a few years

Rhea Ripley is one of the brightest prospects in WWE in the women's division across all three brands. The first-ever NXT: UK Women's Champion has been promising from day 1, and on the go-home SmackDown of Survivor Series, she faced Sasha Banks and Charlotte Flair in an excellent match.

In what was an excellently-crafted finish, Ripley defeated both the multi-time Women's Champions and stood tall for her team. While they may not necessarily be walking out victorious at Survivor Series, this was a big highlight-reel moment for the 24-year old Australian superstar.

She has a big future ahead of her and she could be one of the women who gets called up sooner rather than later. She put out an excellent showing on SmackDown and is a future Women's Champion in WWE.
