Okay. Today is day of TEW, hoping to follow up the Survivor Series with Hell in the Cell.

Smackdown Week 1 October 2017

Shane McMahon is in the ring, giving an update on his father's condition, who is stable but still at the hospital, and ripping into Owens saying he's going to destroy him. He's interrupted by Daniel Bryan, who explains that there really aren't a lot of matches on the card this Sunday yet and he thinks that Shane's obsession with Owens has been distracting him from his duties as GM-- matchmaking in particular. Shane acknowledges Bryan's concern, but says he's been trying here-- he off the cuff announces Dolph Ziggler vs Sami Zayn, Nakamura vs Orton, AJ vs Corbin vs Dillinger, to go with the already announced matches. Bryan approves, but before he can discuss particulars Shane also announces Owens vs Orton tonight and has to leave. (74)

Corbin storms Bryan's office and asks why the hell Dillinger was added to the match. Bryan doesn't know exactly, but says he'll give Corbin one more match against Tye tonight, and if Corbin wins, Tye will be kept out of the match. (71)

Corbin vs Tye Dillinger. A fairly even match ends with Tye drop toe holding Baron into the steps and getting the count out victory this time. Tye stays in the match, mocking Corbin with TENS. (56)

Another Rusev in Bulgaria vignette. He has gone to a Bulgarian pet store. He asks for a viper, stressing he needs it for research and training. The shop owner says they don't have those. Rusev is livid! (73) Natalya & Carmella d. Becky Lynch and Charlotte after Carmella steals a pin when Becky gets whacked by a briefcase from Carmella. (42) (Natalya & Carmella terrible chemistry)

Jinder Mahal is in the ring with The Great Khali, saying it's time for Week 2 of the Maharaja Open Challenge. Sami Zayn comes out, saying he's decided to take control of his career, and he'll be taking the challenge! He starts by chopping Khali at the knees, then goes for Mahal, but the Singh brothers have returned and assault him. The 4 brutally assault Zayn, who must limp out, as Mahal once again stands tall. Mahal gloats and announces he will be issuing another such challenge at Hell in the Cell and wishes his next opponent luck! (60)

Hype Bros vs Usos. Usos win easily, pinning Mojo as Ryder trips and make the save. Ryder walks out, pissed. (48)

Breezango encounter Aiden English backstage-- they challenge Aiden English to another tag match, making him promise not to leave. Aiden grabs James Ellsworth and accepts, and gives his honor that he will not leave this time. (48) Breezango (w/The Ascension) d. Aiden English and James Ellsworth, as Aiden English leaves again. (36) Fandango and Breeze celebrate, as Breeze proclaims the mystery solved-- the Ascension point out that Aiden English just left again and even if he hadn't it wouldn't be solved. Fandango ponders deeply, stroking his chin. (50)

Rusev in Bulgaria. Rusev is in the process of leaving the pet store, perhaps having been arguing this whole time, still halfway in the door, and still shouting at the shopkeeper in Bulgarian. He slams the door, and walks away continuing to shout at no one in particular in a broken English/Bulgarian mix, but is carrying a kitten in a cage for some reason. (83) AJ Styles says he's not going to sit complacent and wait for Hell and the Cell, and issues an open challenge. Mike Kanellis comes out to no reaction. (60) AJ Styles easily d. Mike Kanellis to retain the US Title (67)

Kevin Owens vs Randy Orton. Similar to last week, Owens looking competitive but perhaps outmatched, sneaks out the win when Nakamura comes out and starts doing his spaz dance to a live violinist during Orton's comeback, distracting Orton. (77)
