The November 15 edition of WWE Friday Night SmackDown emanated rom the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
The program kicked off with “King” Baron Corbin being carried to the ting on a throne. Dolph Ziggler and Robert Roode awaited him and Corbin began cutting a promo on the mic. Corbin berated the crowd and then talked about what it takes to be a great king, as well as a leader.
Corbin said that Roman Reigns is a shell of his former self, but that The Big Dog refuses to believe it. He then said that that WWE is his kingdom. He announced that he is the captain of Team SmackDown for the Survivor Series on November 24.
Ziggler and Roode both agreed with Corbin of course and then took shots at Reigns as well. Corbin then invited Reigns to come out and instead, a silly version of Roman’s music hit and someone dressed in a dog suit came down to the ring.
