WWE SMACKDOWN REPORT: ANOTHER WAR GAMES MATCH, SANTOS EXPLAINS IT ALL, A DOUBLE STANDARD BY MR. NICK?, TAG TITLE MATCH NEXT WEEK, AND MORE

By Richard Trionfo on 2023-11-17 21:59:00

Your announcers are Michael Cole, Road Dogg, and Kevin Patrick.

We begin with a look back at Bianca Belair thinking she had two friends to team with her against The Bayley Bunch 2.0.

Dakota Kai, Iyo Sky, Asuka, Kairi Sane, and Bayley make their way to the ring.

Bayley says they are here to have a good time.  She welcomes everyone to Smackdown.  She says they don't want to share this huge moment with a bunch of dumb dumbs like you in the front row.  She says her plan to bring Asuka into this group has to be one of the top moments in WWE history.  Bayley says her idea was brilliant.  The new and improved group is, without a doubt, the strongest faction in WWE right now.  They are playing chess while you idiots are playing Candy Land.  Charlotte . . . Bianca . . . and Shotzi were not ready for Asuka.

Asuka says something and Iyo and Kairi laugh.  They continue their conversation but Bayley says something and they stop laughing.

Dakota says this isn't a new and improved Damage Ctrl because someone in the ring isn't part of the new group.  Dakota says Asuka hasn't been let in the group yet, so Bayley needs to add her to the group.

Bayley apologizes to Asuka for the idiot kid in the front row.  Bayley gets on her knee and asks Asuka if she will join the group and Asuka takes the shirt.

Dakota says they have an idea.  The four of them should challenge Charlotte, Bianca, and Shotzi to find a fourth partner and face them at War Games.

Bayley loves the idea and . . . 

Shotzi's music plays and the tank comes out but it is empty.  Shotzi with a cross body onto Bayley and Kairi.  Shotiz goes after Asuka and Iyo.  Charlotte and Bianca make their way to the ring to help Shotzi try to clear the ring.  Asuka and Bayley send Charlotte to the floor and then they send Shotzi to the floor.

We go to commercial.

Bianca, Shotzi, and Charlotte are in the back and Bianca tells Shotzi they have to be more organized.

Shotzi says she wants revenge and payback.  Bianca says she thinks she knows someone who can help.

Nick says he needs to know who the fourth member is by the end of the night.

Bianca leaves and Charlotte tells Shotzi she is thinking.
