The drama continued during the women’s segment as well where the Damage CTRL bloated about how tough the Survivor Series WarGames night was. It was then only Liv Morgan came out of nowhere and attacked them. After taking down Dakota Kai and Iyo Sky early, Morgan went after Bayley. The numbers game, however, caught up with her. To save her day, Tegan Nox made her eventual return and floored the Damage CTRL. Going forward Morgan and Nox are likely to team up with The Man, Becky Lynch against Bayley, Dakota Kai, and Iyo Sky.
Although other segments including the Gunther and Kofi Kingston had some action exciting available for fans, what was the most-talking point of the night was the Ricochet vs Santos Escobar match for the WWE SmackDown World Cup.
Ricochet and Santos Escobar delivered a crazy match. Both exhibited their skills to the fullest with Ricochet doing enough to win the WWE SmackDown World Cup. This looks like a nice idea going ahead with Gunther and Ricochet for the Intercontinental in the pipeline. Expect Braun Strowman to play a part in this too.
