WWE SmackDown notes: Six-man tag match, Zelina Vega, more
The Enterprise Center in St. Louis, Missouri is hosting SmackDown’s go-home show for Survivor Series tonight.
A six-man tag match has been announced for the episode. Cesaro, Sheamus & Big Show will face The New Day (Big E, Kofi Kingston & Xavier Woods). At Survivor Series, Cesaro & Sheamus will wrestle AOP in a champion vs. champion match and New Day will be part of SmackDown’s tag team division team.
Dave Meltzer reports that Zelina Vega has been cleared to return after being evaluated today. Vega missed WWE’s European tour due to taking a bad bump to the outside when she was eliminated from the battle royal at Evolution.
With Becky Lynch off the Survivor Series card due to injury, Meltzer notes that Ronda Rousey’s situation for the pay-per-view will be revealed on tonight’s SmackDown. She had been scheduled to face Lynch in a champion vs. champion match at the PPV.
WWE is also teasing the storyline of whether or not Charlotte Flair will become the captain of SmackDown’s Survivor Series women’s division team, along with whether or not the men’s team will be able to get on the same page.
