WWE Friday Night Smackdown preview and schedule: November 26, 2021

So,
both
the
Universal
Champion
and
the
Women’s
Champion
are
expected
to
receive
new
opponents
for
their
next
title
match
defenses
at
the
next
pay-per-view.

A
huge
tag
team
match
is
being
advertised
while
a
new
NXT
recruit
will
make
his
in-ring
debut
on
tonight’s
episode
that
goes
down
from
the
Greensboro
Coliseum
in
Greensboro,
North
Carolina.

As
the
heated
feud
between
Universal
Champion
Roman
Reigns
and
King
Xavier
Woods
continued
on
Smackdown,
the
latter
emerged
to
school
Reigns
on
being
the
legit
king
despite
Reigns’
destroying
the
king’s
ornaments,
last
week.

He
also
challenged
The
Head
of
the
Table
to
meet
him
in
the
ring
but
The
Bloodline
instead
took
pleasure
in
destroying
him.

Woods’
New
Day
buddy
Big
E
provided
him
back-up
by
the
end
of
the
night
but
then
Reigns
defeated
him
in
the
Champion
vs.
Champion
non-title
bout
at
Survivor
Series.

Now,
WWE
has
been
teasing
a
new
challenger
for
Universal
Champion
who
could
be
revealed
this
week.
Given
the
circumstances,
King
Xavier
is
the
front-runner
to
capture
this
spot.

Speaking
of
a
new
number-one
contender,
Toni
Storm
is
favored
to
capture
the
same
position
when
it
comes
to
the
Smackdown
Women’s
Championship.

Two
weeks
ago,
she
confronted
Charlotte
Flair
for
a
title
match
opportunity
which
was
turned
down
since
the
champion
was
focused
on
her
match
against
Raw
Women’s
Champion
Becky
Lynch
at
Survivor
Series.

Now
that
the
PPV
is
over
and
Flair
came
up
short
against
her
long-term
rival
in
the
bragging
rights
event,
she
must
be
poised
to
be
back
on
the
winning
track.

Defeating
Toni
Storm
for
the
Women’s
Title
could
allow
her
to
get
back
the
momentums.
Plus,
The
Queen
already
promised
to
hand
this
anticipated
title
match
to
the
former
NXT
UK
Women’s
Champion
during
the
backstage
segment
from
last
week.

WWE
has
announced
a
fresh
matchup
for
this
week’s
Smackdown
where
Cesaro
will
take
on
blue
brand
newcomer
Ridge
Holland
in
the
latter’s
blue
brand
in-ring
debut.

This
match
will
be
a
continuation
of
the
rivalry
with
Cesaro
standing
up
against
the
alliance
of
Holland
and
Sheamus.

For
the
past
couple
of
weeks,
Holland
has
been
very
much
vocal
about
how
he
owes
his
WWE
career
to
Sheamus.

Then
he
helped
his
fellow
countryman
and
idol
to
overcome
Cesaro
with
a
Brogue
Kick
and
emerge
victorious
in
a
high-stakes
Fatal-4-Way
Match
with
Survivor
Series
implications.
Cesaro
is
still
fuming
over
the
loss
and
he’s
coming
for
retribution.

Madcap
Moss
found
himself
making
his
SmackDown
singles
in-ring
debut
against
Jeff
Hardy,
last
week.
With
Drew
McIntyre
backing
him
up,
Hardy
picked
up
an
easy
win,
leaving
Moss
and
his
buddy
Corbin
in
an
unhappy
state.

Now,
WWE
has
confirmed
Madcap
Moss
and
Happy
Baron
Corbin
vs.
Drew
McIntyre
and
Jeff
Hardy
for
tonight
with
the
following
preview
notes.

“McIntyre,
Hardy,
and
Corbin
shared
the
ring
as
part
of
Team
SmackDown
at
Survivor
Series
but
that
did
little
to
bury
the
bad
blood
between
the
trio.

“The
Charismatic
Enigma
toppled
Madcap
Moss
last
week
on
the
blue
brand,
as
The
Scottish
Warrior
fended
off
Happy
Corbin’s
attempted
intervention.

“Will
McIntyre
&
Hardy
be
able
to
deliver
another
laugh
at
the
expense
of
Corbin
&
Moss?
Catch
the
massive
tag
team
showdown
this
Friday
at
8/7
C
on
FOX!”
