Survivor Series is still over a month away, and WWE is getting into the act right from the word go. This week on SmackDown, a chaotic segment saw Jey Uso jump on his twin brother, Jimmy. There was a ruckus while John Cena and Solo Sikoa were going at each other in the ring. Jey got the last laugh on Jimmy as arena security finally separated those individuals.
However, during a backstage segment, SmackDown general manager Nick Aldis condemned the act of Jey attacking a superstar of the blue brand. As a result, he imposed a $10,000 fine on the former Right Hand Man and asked security to escort him out of the building. Just then, Aldis’ counterpart from Raw, Adam Pearce, dropped in and asked Nick to take it easy. However, the Smackdown GM was in no mood to mess around, and he ordered the escort of both Pearce and Jey. Seemingly, that pissed Pearce off as he gave him a menacing look. This is what the Raw General Manager smirked and told Nick Aldis before he left:
Alright, let the games begin.Adam Pearce on the 20/10 episode of SmackDown.
That’s a clear indication of what’s to come soon. The tensions between the general managers of Raw and SmackDown will potentially lead to brand supremacy come Survivor Series.
Also, with rumors swirling around that WWE is planning to bring back WarGames, it could get ugly in no time. Until now, the promotion has never done the battle for brand supremacy inside that sadistic structure. However, with Triple H now calling the shots, the fans should expect the unexpected. Things between Aldis and Pearce will escalate in the coming weeks.
Why this year’s Survivor Series could set benchmarks for the future?
Believe it or not, due to unprecedented fan demand for Survivor Series, WWE was forced to break the shackles. They’re now going all out for the event in Chicago. The company has decided to reconfigure the Allstate Arena to accommodate more people in the building.
The new capacity calls for over 15,000 fans to attend a night that is shaping up to be one for the ages. Why could it be the best premium live event WWE has done in a while? Well, the answer to it is quite simple.
As reported by WrestleVotes, 14-time World Champion Randy Orton will make his impending WWE return that weekend. Some brand-new merchandise has been approved for The Viper. Moreover, it appears like WWE is planning heavy social media promotion for Orton’s comeback.
