WWE SmackDown Go-Home Taping Spoilers For Crown Jewel

WWE taped its SmackDown go-home episode for Crown Jewel on November 2 at the Barclays Center in New York following that week's Raw. Former world heavyweight champion Gunther opened the show by mocking Finn Balor's career and issuing a challenge for a match while demanding the real Balor show up.

Balor came to the ring, leading to a brawl between the two before Gunther exited and the pair stared each other down. Women's world champions Liv Morgan and Chelsea Green confronted one another with Morgan labeling Green talentless and a charity case while promising to regain the Crown Jewel Championship and be recognized as the greatest.

B-Fab and Michin defeated Fallon Henley and Lainey Reid in a tag team match that broke down into a multi-wrestler brawl featuring Jade Cargill, Fatal Influence, Charlotte Flair, Bayley, and Alexa Bliss. Shinsuke Nakamura defeated Tama Tonga in singles action.

Damian Priest's match against Nate Frazer ended prematurely when Frazer could not continue after being thrown onto the commentary table. Sami Zayn explained his attack on Roman Reigns from Raw, stating he would never be overlooked again. Jimmy Uso entered the ring to question Zayn's actions given their family ties, prompting Zayn to say he would have supported The Bloodline against the 946 if he were not WWE Champion and that he required respect.

Uso warned Zayn that Reigns would defeat him at Crown Jewel, which Zayn said finally gave him the attention he sought. The 946 then attacked Jimmy Uso while Zayn stood by without assisting.
