This week’s episode of Smackdown Live will be taking place in St. Louis. This will be the final episode prior to the Survivor Series PPV event that will be taking place on Sunday night.
We have a couple of spoilers to pass your way for the episode tonight. An obvious spoiler warning applies to the rest of this post.
According to Mike Johnson of PWInsider, Vince McMahon will not be backstage at Smackdown this week. Triple H will also not be backstage for the show as he recovers from his recent pectoral surgery.
Johnson says that Zelina Vega has been officially cleared to return to the ring. She is currently in St. Louis for Smackdown. For those who missed it, Zelina missed last week’s episode.
Ric Flair is in St. Louis for Smackdown. It is unclear if he is going to be used on the show or if he is just visiting.
Johnson says that Brock Lesnar is not scheduled to be at Smackdown this week to build his match against AJ Styles.
We will update this page if more spoilers come in before the show starts.
