Spoilers for WWE Smackdown Tonight (Nov. 8) – Taped in Manchester, England
There is a double taping today in Manchester, England for tonight’s WWE Friday Night Smackdown show and Monday’s Raw.
The spoilers come from the @GMS_WWE Twitter account representing the Give Me Sport website. Here’s a photo of their view of the show. If you click on their Twitter account, you can see more photos from the show.

Smackdown began with “King” Baron Corbin talking trash about Roman Reigns, who was his scheduled opponent.
During a New Day interview before their match, Big E had a funny line: “If we don’t win the Tag Team Championships for the seventh time tonight – how are we going to catch up to Charlotte Flair?”
The New Day (Kofi Kingston and Big E) defeated The Revival Scott Dawson and Dash Wilder) to win the Smackdown Tag Team Titles
Kofi Kingston got the pinfall win for his team with the Trouble in Paradise kick. It is the New Day’s 7th tag team title reign. WWE posted this spoiler news on their site along with this photo of the new champions.
New Day winning the titles would change Survivor Series now because it will be Raw Tag Team Champions The Viking Raiders vs. Smackdown Tag Team Champions The New Day vs. NXT Tag Team Champions Undisputed Era.
The four man Imperium group led by WWE UK Champion Walter attacked the Heavy Machinery team of Tucker of Otis. Some of the Smackdown locker room appeared to chase Imperium away. It was said that Walter got a big pop from the crowd.
Shinsuke Nakamura (w/Sami Zayn) and Cesaro defeated Ali and Shorty G
The report noted that the heel team of Nakamura and Cesaro got the win thanks to some distractions from Zayn. Daniel Bryan watched the match from the ramp. Bryan declined to celebrate with Nakamura and Zayn, who want Bryan to join them.
Sasha Banks defeated Nikki Cross
It was noted by GMS that Banks has a new remixed theme song with part of what Snoop Dogg rapped for her at WrestleMania 32.
After the match was over, Bayley went after Cross and then NXT Women’s Champion Shayna Baszler attacked Bayley because they’re in a match at Survivor Series. It doesn’t say much about what happened, but most likely Baszler stood tall after the attack.
Carmella and Dana Brooke defeated Fire & Desire (Mandy Rose and Sonya Deville)
Brooke got the win for her team with a Swanton Bomb on Sonya Deville. As a result of the win, Brooke and Carmella will be on Team Smackdown in some Survivor Series elimination match.
“King” Baron Corbin defeated Roman Reigns
It was not a clean win for Corbin. The team of Dolph Ziggler and Robert Roode showed up to help Corbin beat Reigns.
Tyson Fury, who is from England, entered the ring. Fury called out Braun Strowman, who he defeated at Crown Jewel. Fury said he wanted to form a tag team with Strowman.
The B Team duo of Bo Dallas and Curtis Axel entered. Strowman and Fury beat them up easily. It’s not clear if it is an actual match or just a segment where The B Team got beat up by Strowman and Fury. I believe it was just a segment.
The end of Smackdown saw Strowman and Fury celebrate together on the stage.
