This week’s episode of Smackdown will be taking place at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia. The show will continue the build towards Survivor Series, which takes place next Sunday night.
WWE has announced a new match for Smackdown this week, which could have implications for Survivor Series.
Mustafa Ali & Shorty G will be putting their spots on Team Smackdown on the line against Dolph Ziggler and Robert Roode. Here is what WWE wrote about the match on their website:
Mustafa Ali & Shorty G face Dolph Ziggler & Robert Roode with Survivor Series spots on the line
It hasn’t taken long for an uprising on Team SmackDown. As the blue brand prepares for battle at Survivor Series, King Corbin is already wielding his royal influence to shape the SmackDown squad.
After being named to Team SmackDown on FS1’s WWE Backstage, Mustafa Ali and Shorty G had their merits called into question by Corbin. The King’s preferred running mates: Dolph Ziggler & Robert Roode.
The comments caught the ire of Mustafa Ali & Shorty G who felt they’ve continually proved their status as elite competitors among the blue brand’s roster and that the victory as members of Team Hogan at WWE Crown Jewel was a prime example of it. King Corbin would respond by laying down the challenge and Mustafa Ali & Shorty G’s acceptance sets the stage for a huge SmackDown showdown against Ziggler & Roode with major Survivor Series implications.
Will Mustafa Ali & Shorty G protect their Survivor Series positions or will King Corbin fill his SmackDown court with The Showoff and The Glorious One?
