WWE Smackdown Live saw a number of changes to the WWE Survivor Series card, highlighted by Shane McMahon joining the Smackdown Men’s Team at the pay-per-view.
Shane is replacing Baron Corbin, who was injured earlier in the night by Kalisto, his scheduled opponent for tonight’s show. Kalisto and Corbin got into a scuffle and Kalisto ended up attacking Corbin’s knee and got the upper hand.
Later in the night, Daniel Bryan announced Kalisto would get a Cruiserweight Championship title shot against RAW’s Bryan Kendrick, with the stipulation of if Kalisto wins, the Cruiserweight division would move to Smackdown. Additionally, Bryan noted that a title could change shows if Sami Zayn defeated Dolph Ziggler in their interpromotional match, but The Miz would get the last title shot by a Smackdown branded star next week on Smackdown’s 900th episode.
