We are just two days away from Survivor Series, and WWE SmackDown acted as the go-home show. As usual, this called for some invasion from the red brand, and it started with The RAW Tag team champions, The New Day.
The former member, Big E, announced the legendary tag team was appearing on the show. The team appeared in the first segment itself and spoke about ‘passing the torch’ to SmackDown Champs, Street Profits. Xavier Woods said they (Street Profits) were right to want the smoke, but they don’t want ‘this fire.’
It’s a NEW DAY, Street Profits! Yes, it is… because @TrueKofi & @AustinCreedWins are HERE!

Post that, they hyped up The Undertaker’s ‘Final Farewell,’ paying a tribute. However, instead of ‘The Deadman,’ Intercontinental Champion Sami Zayn came out.
Zayn made a shocking revelation. He claimed the only reason this was Taker’s “final Farewell” is because Taker knew Sami owed him some revenge for the chokeslam at Madison Square Garden.
Sami claimed WWE officials were letting Taker take a coward’s way out. However, on Sunday, RAW’s United States Champion, Bobby Lashley, will not escape defeat.

Unfortunately, Zayn’s claims were met with ridicule from Woods and Kingston. Then, Baron Corbin came out to defend SmackDown’s ‘honor.’ He asked The New Day what they were doing in the blue brand after having a farewell merely weeks ago.

However, Roode and Ziggler attack the New Day, and all hell broke loose. To save the champions, the other champions came out. Kofi, Woods, Montez Ford, and Angelo Dawkins teamed up to clear the heels from the ring. Now we had a babyfaces vs. heels match.
In the match, Dawkins yanked Sami into the ring and hit a big Spinebuster. Ford tagged in and hit the big Cash Out splash to Sami for the win.
After the match, both champions raised their titles in the air before the match on Sunday.
