SmackDown!: November 23, 2040

SURVIVOR SERIES THIS SUNDAY!!! ***SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAL!***

Opening Promo of Doom Time with the WWE Unified World Champion Wrakk. He wants to address anyone who has been taken back by the levels of violence and brutality that he and Haven have gone through. He understands their concerns and so being the generous champion that he is, he wants to issue a piece of advice: if anyone feels that they might not be able to stomach any more, they should probably pass on Survivor Series this Sunday. Definitely pass if you're hanging on to any hope of Haven walking out as the new Unified World Champion. Wrakk just won the damn thing so he's not coughing it up any time soon, certainly not to someone who Wrakk has had the number of ever since he made his return. It's ironic that Haven has the name that he does, because there is no refuge from what Wrakk is going to unleash on him this Sunday. Haven will be the first victim in Wrakk's new era. He has a lot of time for which to make up and Survivor Series is just the beginning. And after that, everyone will be pissing themselves at the very thought of getting a shot at the most dominating Unified World Champion!

This obviously calls for...Michael Haywood? The former Play Pal decides to get into the ring and interrupt the champ's business as he grabs a mic. Haywood will admit that he's known for some silliness from time to time, but even he has his limit. Namely dealing with that idiot Ziggy Styles, who by the way will be eliminated by Michael at Survivor Series. This seriousness from Wrakk is refreshing to Michael. And seeing as how it looks like neither of them have anything to do tonight, it seemed like a good idea to come on out here and make a proposal to the Unified World Champion. You see, Ziggy Styles needs to understand what he's getting into. He needs to know that Michael Haywood isn't the tree he wants to be barking up. And Michael figures if he can get one over the "most dominating Unified World Champion" tonight, that'll probably send a strong message to not just Styles, but the rest of the team he has to deal with at Survivor Series. So what does the champ say? How about the two of them as the main event tonight? What does he have to lose?

Wrakk smiles creepily and accepts, claiming that it's not himself that has anything to lose. Michael on the other hand, can most certainly lose his health. So it looks like we got ourselves a main event!

Backstage Nathan Quinn and his client Adam Hail want to sling some garbage towards Simon Bennett. It's a shame that things have taken this turn, but Simon has only made the situation worse by not going away. What Hail did to Simon wasn't personal. He would've done the same thing to anyone else who was his partner at the time. If Simon can't get over it, Hail will make him get over it.

First Match: Ainsley vs. Dusk
Ainsley, of course, talked about this last night in her sit-down interview. Quite the opponent to make a first appearance on SmackDown! against, though. Dusk is all business and seeing how she's the one with a Survivor Series match, she's the one who gets the momentum here. The two tumble to the outside and Debra Phillips makes her way out to ringside in front of them to observe. The count is on and Dusk is the one to her feet first and makes her way back in. Ainsley struggles a bit more and Debra "offers" a hand in helping her up. Ainsley takes a step back when she realizes what's going on and she asks WTF Debra is doing out here. This exchange is enough to keep Ainsley out long enough for the ref to reach the 10 count and Ainsley is livid. Debra just gives a "oh well" shrug and takes her leave. ****1/4, 81% overall.

Second Match: The Morris Cousins vs. Zed Jones and The Hero to Millions Around the World, the Host With THE Highest Rated Interview Show In All of Entertainment, The New Age Intellectual Savior to the Masses, The 2031 Fulton County First Place Conga Award Winner, The Luscious Lover and Undefeated Steel Cage Master and REAL 2040 King of the Ring, The Supreme Submission Machine, Mister Twenty-Forty, Former WWE Cruiserweight Champion-Elect, the Cruiserweight Champion Michael Hotbody
Lyle Morris announces that he's accepted the terms laid out by Hotbody last night. He doesn't mind putting his title shot up because he knows he's got a winning team this Sunday. This match, unfortunately, doesn't go Lyle's way as he's isolated from the get-go and is double-teamed. Chet keeps trying to make his way into the match to stop the heel shenanigans much to the ire of the ref and when he sees Luscious trying to slip Hotbody the Cruiserweight belt, it's too much for Chet to take and he grabs a chair and starts chasing everyone around with it. That's obviously enough for a DQ as Hotbody and Jones take their leave but Clubber Harris and Jordan Demiras make their way out to the stage to intercept them. Zed calls an audible and picks up Hotbody and takes Luscious by the hand and cuts through the crowd to escape. *****, 95% overall.

Backstage, we see Gavin Jones talking with Michael Haywood about the match with Wrakk later in the night. They exchange a few pleasantries before Gavin leaves. Outside, he's met by Jason Sorola, one of the members of Gavin's opposing team at Survivor Series. Jason makes it known that he's not itching for a fight right now. He's got that covered come Sunday. Right now Jason just wants to mock Gavin and Michael for apparently not being able to move past their break-up. Here they are months later after they were supposed to have gone their separate ways, still being sad and pathetic together. Them not being able to move on is one of the biggest things holding the two of them back. It's the reason Michael is going to fail tonight, and it's the reason Gavin is going to fail at Survivor Series. Gavin takes this chance to interrupt Jason and lets him know that he actually can get over things. Namely, Jason's betrayal all that time ago. Jason is going to learn just how much Gavin has moved past that ordeal when Gavin obliterates him this Sunday. And with that, Gavin takes his leave.

Third Match: The Perfections vs. The Brooklyn Sisterhood
Leah and Bonnie need some MOMENTUM!!! But first things first, they promised a surprise for everyone that they were going to reveal tonight. Seeing as how Nathan Quinn would rather hang around those two skanky yokels, Hannah and Bobbi Jo, and when you consider that the Lonely Girls can't be trusted to be team players, Leah and Bonnie have decided that real back-up is in order. So allow them to introduce their new manager...PAUL ANDREWS!!!

The heels are aghast at this as Andrews makes his way down to be in the corner of his newest acquisitions. He's collecting quite a portfolio. Maybe this can even the odds between the Perfections and the Southern Belles? Nevertheless, this match rules as you'd expect. Things come to a head when the Southern Belles come out looking upset at this turn of events but Andrews moves to intercept them. Emma is distracted with these proceedings and Bonnie drops her throat on the top rope and that leaves Emma open to a Sultry Splash from Leah leading to the pin for the faces. The game has been changed! ****1/2, 93% overall.

Sports Entertainment Segment Time as we're told that Brandon Reigns has made it to Miami for Survivor Series and the WWE took it upon themselves to follow him around as he was on a quest to locate Eddy Clash and the Money in the Bank briefcase. The video consists of Reigns going around the city in various establishments and hotels demanding that someone tell him if they've seen Eddy. His frustrations lead him to yell at people to tune into Survivor Series and he'll get Eddy anyway seeing as how everyone's just wasted his time.

Fourth Match: Cameron Harper vs. Marc Fury
This may seem kind of random, but this will be sort of leading to something in the near future...I hope. I'm not really stacking the show with matches involving a lot of Sunday's participants so why not do this here? Harper eeks out a win here by reversing an attempted off-the-top rope belly-to-back. Harper goes into overdrive mode with the celebrating and looks into the camera while asking "Were you watching?" Who is he talking to? ****1/2, 85% overall.

Fifth Match: Xavier Cross vs. Ryan Pattillo
I figure one match involving Sunday's proceedings couldn't hurt as these two are on opposite teams. It rules as you'd expect but I can't really choose who to give the upper hand. Let's just do a double countout instead and then have Kyle Jacobs run out trying to get his hands on Cross. That works, no? Yeah, let's do that. *****, 95% overall.

Backstage, Quinten McDaniels has some last minute truth to drop on Seth Von Kamp ahead of their match this Sunday for the Intercontinental Title. Seth's current reign as champion is an anamoly and nothing more. It's like the universe decided to just play a joke on the WWE and it doesn't want to let up. Quinten accomplished more in his first few years in the WWE than Seth ever dreamed of doing in his entire time here. Seth doesn't impress Quinten and it still sticks in his craw that ONE GOD DAMN SECOND was the thing that prevented Quinten from getting that World Title. That one second is so representative of Seth's entire being. Happenstance. Fluke. The joke isn't funny anymore. The laughter ends this Sunday.

MAIN EVENT: Wrakk vs. Michael Haywood
Haywood tries his best here, and manages to look good surviving Wrakk's completely dominating nature. Haywood would most certainly work in the Intercontinental Title ranks. It's a great main event and it comes to a head when Ziggy Styles sneaks his way down and hides under the ring close to where Michael has been knocked to the outside. The count is on and Michael tries making his way in but Ziggy holds on to the leg and the count reaches ten. Haywood eventually breaks free and joins Ziggy under the ring for a brawl, leading Ziggy to hastily crawl out and run away in a funny visual with Michael giving chase. Wrakk stands tall in the middle of the ring but the lights go out! Everyone is confused until the lights come back on again and the scene in the ring has changed to Haven standing over a fallen Wrakk as he holds the two title belts in his hands. WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN AT SURVIVOR SERIES?!?! *****, 94% overall.
