Roode and Ziggler clash in WWE Hell in a Cell rematch
At WWE Hell in a Cell, Bobby Roode beat Dolph Ziggler at his own game, grabbing a handful of The
Showoff’s tights to ensure his first pay-per-view appearance was victorious and glorious. But when
Ziggler blindsided him with a Zig Zag after the bell, Roode was furious. Last week on SmackDown
LIVE, The Glorious One challenged Ziggler to a fight, only for The Showoff to back away. There
will be no turning back, though, when the two square off tonight on SmackDown LIVE

Sami Zayn to kick off SmackDown LIVE

Sami Zayn left the WWE Universe in utter shock last week, first pulling Kevin Owens out of the way
of Shane McMahon’s leap off the top of Hell in a Cell, then showing no remorse for his actions and
embracing his once-estranged best friend on the blue brand.
Zayn’s sudden change of heart has left WWE fans with even more questions, and WWE.com has learned
that Sami will address the WWE Universe at the start of SmackDown LIVE at 8/7 C on USA Network.
What will he have to say?

at Survivor Series on Sunday, Nov. 19. What does the WWE Champion have in store for the 30th
anniversary of WWE’s Thanksgiving time tradition?

Bobby Roode and Dolph Ziggler meet in WWE Hell in a Cell rematch tonight on SmackDown LIVE

The heated rivalry between Bobby Roode and Dolph Ziggler will reach a boiling point when the brash
Superstars clash in a rematch from WWE Hell in a Cell tonight on SmackDown LIVE.
The two collided for the first time last Sunday on WWE Network, and The Glorious One got the upper
hand on Ziggler, rolling him up with a handful of tights to earn the victory. A furious Ziggler
got up after the bell and planted Roode into the canvas with a Zig Zag.
Last Tuesday on SmackDown LIVE, Roode called Ziggler out for a fight. The Showoff appeared ready
to give The Glorious One what he wanted, but backed out, saying their rematch wouldn’t go down that night.

United States Champion Baron Corbin to be in action

Baron Corbin cemented his place as the United States Champion last Tuesday on SmackDown LIVE with a huge
victory over AJ Styles in his first title defense, and immediately after the bout, The Lone Wolf took glee
in rubbing his win in the face of the WWE Universe, promising to “buy a boat and float down a river of
tears” from fans.

Breezango break open their next case in “Pulp Fashion”

Check out the big brain on Breeze!
Breezango were back on the beat at WWE Hell in a Cell with a new edition of “The Fashion Files.”
Revealing that their deep dive on the “2B” case sent a man to jail, Tyler Breeze and Fandango
inadvertently discovered that it was The Ascension looking “2-B” their friends all along.
However, when one case closes, another opens, which was, quite literally, the case for The Fashion
Police. A mysterious briefcase that gave off a golden glow was left at their precinct’s doorstep,
leading to the start of a new investigation.
