WWE Friday Night SmackDown preview, Nov. 8: Watch online
Here’s all the information you need for the Nov. 8, 2019 edition of WWE Friday Night SmackDown.
Refreshing our memory, nearly the entire WWE Friday Night SmackDown roster was stranded in Saudi Arabia last week following Crown Jewel. That left the door open for an NXT takeover that saw Adam Cole pull off the upset over Daniel Bryan. This week, the blue crew is back together to take back their show.
King Corbin has been nearly unbearable over the last year, and it’s gotten worse since becoming King of the Ring. He’s been demanding respect from the WWE Universe, but not getting anything but more hate. Last week on WWE Backstage on FS1, Corbin attacked Roman Reigns in the locker room in an unexpected assault. Now he must face the music this week, when he faces Reigns in the ring. Can Corbin assume his royal dominance, or will the Big Dog reclaim his yard?
At Crown Jewel, boxing star Tyson Fury made his WWE debut and picked up a shocking win over Braun Strowman. A week later, Fury returns to his hometown of Manchester, England to address his win. But he should be aware that Strowman likely will be on hand as well. This feud is far from over, and more fireworks between the two should be expected.
Two weeks ago, The New Day pinned The Revival in an eight-man tag. The two teams have been engulfed in a heated war over the last few weeks, and another win at Crown Jewel just fueled it more. With Xavier Woods now on the shelf with an injury, Kofi Kingston will step in and team with Big E this week as they challenge The Revival for the WWE SmackDown Tag Team Championship.

In addition to all of that, Sasha Banks returns to the ring for the first time since Hell In A Cell to face NikkI Cross. Banks has been a thorn in her side since then, costing her a victory over Bayley recently. That should make this week’s match even more worth the watch.
With Survivor Series on the horizon, we should also keep a lookout for NXT appearances as well. They took over last week and it will be interesting to see if they make any moves this week, with the full SmackDown crew in the house.
