We now have number one contenders for Gunther's world title and for Liv Morgan's women's world title, Damien Priest won the fatal four way main event last night (rather predictably) after some shenanigans when Bronson Reed got involved and went after everyone apart from Dominik who then tried to capitalize but Damien thwarted it.
IYO Sky won a battle royal to become women's number one contender, the final four of which was Sky, Lyra Valkryia, Bianca Belair and Jade Cargill. The show last night was in Riyadh and was taped on Sunday because of the UK tour WWE are currently on.

It was a scenario about Fatu having no paid for a Charity that came back to light and he removed his twitter but as I was posting about it seemed it was already resolved anyway so mentioning it felt redundantWe now have number one contenders for Gunther's world title and for Liv Morgan's women's world title, Damien Priest won the fatal four way main event last night (rather predictably) after some shenanigans when Bronson Reed got involved and went after everyone apart from Dominik who then tried to capitalize but Damien thwarted it.

The women's United States championship has been officially introduced, its a smaller version of the regular one with a white strap, its been coming as its been reported and rumored for a while, they will most likely do something similar on Raw.
Kevin Owens used a piledriver to take Randy Orton out, it was a pretty weak driver but it was billed as the worst thing ever given Orton's injury history, he left on a stretcher and in an ambulance and there is no word how long he will be out.
Sami Zayn has sided with the OG Bloodline and the War Games match looks set to be made. Not much other news from last night as it was quite tag team heavy, two title matches on next weeks Smackdown though.

Gunther v Damien Priest for the world title has been made for Survivor Series, we are used to seeing Gunther roast all his opponents on the mic but last night it was Priest cooking Gunther for three straight minutes!
Both Bloodlines were on Raw last night trying to recruit fifth members for they're War Games teams, both Sami and Solo tried to talk Seth Rollins into it but both failed, my guess is that it will be Cody Rhodes joining Roman's team with maybe the Rock joining team Solo but the latter might be a bit far-fetched. We also saw a hint to another War Games match as the main event was the women's tag title match in which Belair and Cargill beat Liv and Raquel but it had several run-ins and distractions so it might led to the other WG match off the back of it.
Next weeks show was taped last night but I don't know why, it had Rollins v Reed part II and an IC title match between Bron Breakker and Sheamus.

Quite a newsworthy Smackdown last night.
Bronson Reed is on team Solo for the War Games match with Roman, The Usos and Sami yet to find a fifth guy, Roman walked in to an ambush then it was revealed that Bronson was the fifth guy for Solo, Roman tried to ring Paul Heyman after but it came up as 'Service is discontinued'.
The Women's US title tournament started with a triple threat match which was won by Bayley, there will be further triple threat matches every week with winners progressing to the semi finals and the Final will take place at Saturday Night's Main Event in December.
Cody Rhodes called out Kevin Owens and they will have a face to face next week.
There were three titles matches last night, first was a US title open challenge in which Berto Carillo stepped up but LA Knight won without too much fuss and after the match Shinsuke Nakamura returned to take out Knight , the tag titles match between MCMG and the street profits went to a DQ after Tommaso Ciampa got involved, Nia Jax retained her women's title against Naomi in the main event after the now usual distractions and shenanigans which is adding more build to the potential women's War Games match, which hasn't been made yet.

The women's War Games match is set, Its Nia Jax, Tiffany Stratton, Liv Morgan, Raquel Rodriguez and Candice La Rae versus Bianca Belair, Jade Cargill, IYO Sky, Naomi and...Rhea Ripley, who returned last night wearing a face mask, screamed 'WAR GAMES!' into Liv's face and then headbutted her. There is now three matches made for Survivor Series with the two War Games matches and the world title match with the show taking place next Saturday, I can see another match being added.
Breakker and Sheamus were having a great match for the IC title until Kaiser got involved and took out both, Gunther gave him a pep talk before hand telling him to do things for himself so they have apparently split up. The Bloodline predictably got involved in the Reed-Rollins match and Solo cost Seth the win. Seth did say to the Usos and Sami before that he would never team with Roman.

Its does mean that WWE Network will end on January 1st in Europe.
We don't have Peacock in the UK so the Network has still been going here, I have been a Network subscriber for as long as I remember and I streamed it all through my Xbox-both previous and current gen. It'll be sad to see it go.
Everything being on Netflix is huge though.

CM PUNK IS THE FIFTH GUY!!
Solo wanted Roman and the OG Bloodline to surrender and acknowledge him, Paul Heyman then returned and the place became unglued! He said that it should be five v five and then pointed to the entranceway and Punks music hit, then all five took out Solo's Bloodline with Roman and Punk using a Spear and GTS at the same time as they stared each other down, Punk pointed to Heyman and said 'I'm here because of him' Roman said 'He's my wise man' to which Punk replied 'we'll see'. Then everyone but Punk put the ones up. The last 10 minutes of Smackdown was great!
Cody Rhodes and Kevin Owens had a great promo battle in the middle of the show, Cody got the last word but it was superb from both which is no surprise as they are two of the best in the business when it comes to talking, Chelsea Green won the triple threat to progress in the women's US title tournament and she is my pick to win the whole thing, someone attacked Jade Cargill and she was left on top of a car windscreen.
Next week's Smackdown was taped last night and they are doing more taping in the coming weeks as they give everyone time off over Christmas.

It looks like Jade Cargill will be out with a neck injury for maybe a few months and the attack on her is a way to write her off TV, Belair and Cargill will likely vacant the women's tag titles now.
The go home Raw for Survivor Series is tonight, CM Punk's WWE return was one year ago today and WWE has released some BTS scenes before and after, it's also the one year anniversary of Randy Orton's return as he was the fifth guy for the babyface team in the men's War Games match, afterwards he said to Punk 'can you not give me 10 ****ing minutes to enjoy my return?!'

Still trying to find the screentime for the midcard Womens titles.
These are far more likely to be Divas title tier piss break matches than something to pay attention too. If 2016 Raw couldnt balance 5 titles when they made the Cruiserweight Championship and had an entire roster for them and Vince McMahon struggled to make use of 3 Hours to the point the Cruiserweights had to get their own show. I doubt Raw and Smackdown today can balance 5 titles of an existing roster and Triple H knows how to make use of 3 Hours.

LA Knight v Shinsuke Nakamura for the US title and Bron Breakker v Sheamus v Ludwig Kaiser for the IC title have both been made for Survivor Series this Saturday, Bayley is the fifth lady in the women's War Games match replacing the injured Jade Cargill.
The New Day 10 year celebration is set for next weeks Raw but the slow break up is continuing as they lost to Alpha Academy in just a couple of minutes, they both blamed as each which led to a huge argument backstage and they both went at it, Judgment Day had a successful title defense against the War Raiders after distraction from Dominik and Carlito.
There are so many distraction type finishes happening in WWE right now and matches ending in a DQ, clean wins are pretty rare right now and they was only one last night, WWE need to get out of this rut.

Survivor Series was good last night, but it was a bit by the numbers.
The OG Bloodline beat Bloodline 2.0 in the main event but there was no shenanigans or Punk/Heyman turning on Roman, there was a bit of distrust between Punk and Roman during the match though but they shook hands after and Punk said to Heyman that he owed him a favour, there was also no appearance from the Rock which a few people predicted, making his appearance at Bad Blood even more bizarre.
The women's War Games match was won by Rhea who used a Riptide on Liv Morgan from the top rope onto a table and pinning the women's champ in the process, I do think the women's match was more fun than the men's TBH, Gunther v Priest was really good and they just battered each other for much of the match but Balor got involved and cost Priest the match again so it was just a copy of Summerslam.
We did see a title change and Shinsuke Nakamura is the new US champ beating LA Knight in an okay match, Breakker v Sheamus v Kaiser was good with Breakker retaining his IC title, Sheamus got battered by a Shelileah from Kaiser and his back was in bits after!
NXT Deadline is this Saturday with Saturday Night's Main event after that on the 14th December, then we have WWE on Netflix, then the Royal Rumble.

Fantastic segment, one of the best of the year.
Drew McIntyre returned to take out Sami Zayn with a Claymore and he quite possibly attacked Jey Uso as well, Gunther v Finn Balor has been made for SNME next Saturday for the world title, as has Liv Morgan v IYO Sky for the women's title on the same show. The women's IC title tournament started and it the same format as on Smackdown triple threat matches where the winners progress to the semi finals, Dakota Kai won the in the first first round triple threat to progress beating Shayna Baszler and Katana Chance.
