Overview
- GM Nick Aldis ordered the 10-man elimination bout after Solo Sikoa requested a one-on-one match with Sami Zayn.
- The teams are Sikoa and the MFTs versus Zayn, Shinsuke Nakamura, Rey Fenix, and the Motor City Machine Guns.
- Zayn announced he is medically cleared during Friday's show, triggering a multi-man brawl that led to the match being set.
- The broadcast briefly teased The Wyatt Sicks, with Uncle Howdy shown watching Sikoa backstage.
- Staging a Survivor Series-style match on SmackDown the night before the event is unusual, and analysts suggest it could tie to expected holiday-week taping logistics.
