– First Member Of SmackDown Live’s Men’s Survivor Series 2017 Team Revealed
In the main event of tonight’s episode of SmackDown Live, 13 time WWE World Heavyweight Champion “The Viper” Randy Orton defeated former NXT Champion Sami Zayn to become the 1st man to qualify for SmackDown Live’s Men’s Survivor Series 2017 team.
During the ending moments of the match, Kevin Owens came out to interfere, but Orton successfully fought him off and delivered a low-blow to Zayn when the referee was distracted (payback on Zayn hitting a low-blow on Orton on last week’s episode of SmackDown Live) and then delivering an RKO to get the win.

– Big Match Nixed For Survivor Series 2017
As we noted before, there were plans at one point to do a traditional Survivor Series tag team elimination match between former UFC Women’s Bantamweight Champion Ronda Rousey’s MMA’s 4 Horsewoman group and WWE’s 4 Horsewoman group (Charlotte Flair, Bayley, Sasha Banks & Becky Lynch).
However, that isn’t the case anymore. WWE officials are now focusing on Ronda Rousey competing in a WWE ring as a solo competitor and she’s now expected to compete in a singles match at WrestleMania 34 next year.
No word yet on if WWE will do a match between the two Four Horsewoman groups.
