WWE Smackdown Preview And Prediction: When And Where To Watch In USA & India – 24th November 2023
This week’s episode of Friday Night SmackDown on November 24th marks the final stop before one of WWE’s big four pay-per-views, Survivor Series, emanating from Allstate Arena in Chicago on Saturday. With tensions running high, the SmackDown superstars will be looking to gain momentum heading into the traditional Raw versus SmackDown elimination matches.
Viewers can expect the intensities to boil over this Friday night. Feuds will hit their peak, rivalries will become more personal, and we may even see some surprise returns or debuts as Survivor Series looms just one day away. The Allstate Arena crowd, already hyped for Survivor Series, will only elevate the emotions of the competitors.
As far as matches go, we’ll likely see high-stakes bouts like Cody Rhode’s team against The Judgment Day. Apart from this, we will see Rhea Ripley defending her title. Here in this article, we bring you all the confirmed matches for the WWE Smackdown event today.
The spotlight of this Friday Night SmackDown shines brightly on the Undisputed WWE Tag Team Championship match. The challengers, The Street Profits – Angelo Dawkins and Montez Ford – clash with the formidable titleholders, The Judgment Day’s Finn Balor and Damian Priest.
The Street Profits earned this opportunity by overcoming Brawling Brutes and Pretty Deadly in a thrilling Triple Threat #1 contender’s match last week. They will be hungry to capture the gold. However, Balor and Priest have proven to be dominant champions aided by The Judgment Day’s interference tactics. With Dominik Mysterio and JD McDonagh likely lurking at ringside, the odds seem stacked against The Street Profits.
Nonetheless, The Street Profits promises to show up with unmatched energy and aerial athleticism. Montez Ford’s gravity-defying moves like the Frog Splash could be a difference-maker. For Judgment Day, Balor and Priest will look to ground the high-flyers with a bruising in-ring style and frequent tags to stay fresh.
This first-time-ever title match not only promises electricity but also has implications for the Survivor Series. If The Judgment Day retains, they will carry the titles and momentum into Saturday’s WarGames match against Brawling Brutes. But if The Street Profits were to shock the world, it would be a major setback for The Judgment Day heading into their biggest match of the year.
No matter the outcome, the Undisputed WWE Tag Team Titles will be on the line in what is destined to be an instant classic bout!
Kevin Owens Returns for ‘Grayson Waller Effect’. Kevin Owens is set to return after his suspension, bringing his trademark attitude and outspoken persona back to Friday Night SmackDown. His destination is the “Grayson Waller Effect” segment to confront the cocky Waller.
Owens was suspended several weeks ago for getting physical with Theory and Waller while serving special guest commentary duties. Never one to shy away from speaking his mind or taking matters into his own hands, Owens let his emotions boil over and landed himself in hot water with WWE management.
But now after patiently serving his suspension, the popular superstar returns on the eve of Survivor Series. There is no love lost between Owens and Waller, who have engaged in a bitter war of words in recent months. With the loud-mouthed Waller likely to verbally prod and provoke, one can expect the outspoken Owens to unleash weeks of built-up frustration.
Sparks are guaranteed to fly in this verbally-charged segment. An irate Owens may hold nothing back, getting in Waller’s face and possibly pulling no punches. Waller has backup in the form of Theory, but Owens is fearless when fired up. This complex storyline promises to get intensely personal and physical in a hurry.
Will Owens and Waller come to blows just 24 hours before Survivor Series? And might Theory feel Owens’ rage as well? The veteran Owens is a must-see television whenever a microphone is in his hands. His upcoming face-to-face with the rising Waller may steal the show in Chicago!
The high stakes for the women’s WarGames match will intensify with the WarGames advantage yet to be determined. This week, the fans will vote online to give either Team Belair or Damage CTRL the coveted advantage during Saturday’s brutality.
Last week’s edition of SmackDown witnessed a wild brawl break out with all competitors throwing fists and fury. The animosity is red-hot between these two teams as they look to settle the score inside the unforgiving double cage structure.
On one side, Raw Women’s Champion Bianca Belair teams with Becky Lynch, Asuka, Alexa Bliss and a partner to be named. Across the ring, the vicious trio of Damage CTRL looks to conquer yet again. Bayley, Dakota Kai and Iyo Sky have run roughshod, but have their biggest test to date on the horizon.
The WarGames advantage often proves critical, letting the team control the numbers game when the match begins. Will Team Belair gain the edge through the fan vote? Or will Damage CTRL find a way to cheat their way to control, as they have so often done before?
Either way, the tension mounts and this bitter rivalry will wage war with no mercy to determine the superior faction once and for all. Expect plenty of last words between warring combatants on SmackDown before the iconic structure welcomes both teams on Saturday night!
Fans in the United States can catch this thrill-ride episode of SmackDown at 8 PM EST/7 PM CT on Peacock. Viewers in India can tune in on Sony Ten 1 and Sony Ten 3 at 5:30 AM IST on Saturday.
No matter what continent you are on, this SmackDown promises intense title action, a heated war of words, and a final build towards Saturday’s Survivor Series spectacle. As storylines unfold and tensions boil over, the road to WWE’s fall classic takes one last pitstop before the real fireworks begin.
Will The Street Profits dethrone The Judgment Day? What chaos awaits when Kevin Owens and Grayson Waller meet face-to-face? And which team will earn the WarGames advantage? The only way to find out is to watch WWE SmackDown on Peacock in the USA and Sony Ten in India!
