WWE SmackDown video highlights: Ready for war

Last night’s SmackDown set the stage for the men’s WarGames match at Survivor Series.

Sheamus made his return as The Brawling Brutes fought with The Bloodline to close last night’s show. The Brawling Brutes also got some assistance, with Drew McIntyre helping them even the odds against Roman Reigns’ crew.

It appears that the men’s WarGames match will be The Bloodline (Roman Reigns, The Usos, Solo Sikoa & Sami Zayn) vs. The Brawling Brutes (Sheamus, Ridge Holland & Butch), Drew McIntyre, and one more partner who has yet to be revealed. Zayn wasn’t on last night’s show due to personal reasons.

It was also confirmed that Ronda Rousey will be defending her SmackDown Women’s Championship against Shotzi at Survivor Series. Shotzi won a number one contender’s six-pack challenge last night to earn the title shot.

Plus, The Usos retained their Undisputed WWE Tag Team titles against The New Day, The Viking Raiders returned with Sarah Logan, and the SmackDown World Cup tournament kicked off.
