8 things WWE subtly told us on SmackDown: 4-time World champion makes big appearance change, Returning star turns face (November 29th, 2019)
Friday Night SmackDown's Thanksgiving special is in the books and what an action-packed episode it was. From 3 major returns to new alliances and more, the show delivered from start to finish.
Since he is our Universal Champion, the primary focus of the show was Bray Wyatt as he had three different Firefly Fun House segments and ended the show as well. It was a fantastic show from a character-development standpoint and we're glad we can say that because we don't often get to.
It was the perfect example of why a two-hour show is enough to get the job done and even though it was far from perfect, it didn't feel like there was a moment wasted on the show. Although the women's division needs to step up their promo game, we got some new directions with multiple feuds happening.
Here's what WWE subtly told us on the show!

#8. A new faction emerges amongst old rivals?
First off, we're happy about the fact that Robert Roode had a great showing against Roman Reigns, even in defeat. He was made to look on the level of The Big Dog and Reigns, who the crowd was the hottest for by far, got the deserved win.
However, what was more interesting was the alliance between King Corbin, Roberto Roode, and Dolph Ziggler. Remember in December 2017 at Clash of Champions when the three of them competed for the United States title? Ziggler won the contest when he was expected to take the pin and abruptly vacated the title two nights later (with no explanation ever given as to why).
However, it seems like we'll be getting a temporary faction between the former rivals. Who would have thought that the three of them would be in a stable together?
