1) Some Possible Foreshadowing In The Opening Segment (And At The End)
Smackdown Live kicked off a massive pep rally for Team Smackdown. This was led by Shane McMahon where he tried to hype up his roster before Survivor Series.
You might have spotted Kevin Owens & Sami Zayn in the background not caring at all. Maybe this is hinting at Owens & Zayn costing Smackdown the Men’s elimination match on Sunday, a theory that many fans have.

Sami & Owens also bailed in the final segment of the show when RAW came to attack. Again showing that they have no allegiance to Smackdown.
2) Daniel Bryan Returned After The Attack From Kane
Smackdown Live featured the return of Daniel Bryan. This was the first time that Bryan has been seen since he was attacked by Kane when he visited RAW a few weeks ago.
Bryan says that it is great to be back. He also spoke about Survivor Series and how Smackdown is going to dominate RAW. Great to see him back.
YES! YES! YES!#SDLive General Manager @WWEDanielBryan is BACK and UNAFRAID of #TeamRaw! #SurvivorSeries pic.twitter.com/OWKU8FHNFs

3) The Crowd Was Hyped For AJ Styles (But Out Of Sync)
AJ Styles made his first appearance since winning the WWE Championship against Jinder Mahal last week. The crowd response was incredible for the ‘Phenomenal One’.
The only problem was that the crowd couldn’t decide on a chant. The crowd chanted: “AJ…. AJ Styles”. It was still extremely loud, so we will give them credit for trying.
This crowd can’t get the AJ Styles chant in sync. #SDLive

Crowd botched an AJ Styles chant… in his home state.
