Segment #2: Arena Promo
WWE World Champion A.J. Styles is out first, and does not look happy, not even with the fans cheering or booing for him. This is because of his loss to Dean Ambrose last week, which propelled “The Lunatic Fringe” to facing Styles again at the T.L.C. Pay-Per-View on December 4th. A.J. blames James Ellsworth for causing this to happen, and then says that Commissioner Shane McMahon and General Manager Daniel Bryan have ceased Ambrose and Styles going at it beforehand, because of Survivor Series.
A.J. puts himself as the captain of Team Smackdown!, but his partner for the match at Survivor Series, Baron Corbin, marches out. Corbin insinuates that Styles is not the Captain, and then The Wyatt Family – Randy Orton included – appear in the aisle. They walk around the ring and hop the apron, and then Dean Ambrose joins, who brings James Ellsworth with him.
Dean brought Ellsworth as his “guest,” but Styles is quite dismayed with James. He wants Ellsworth to stay away at Survivor Series, and warns Ambrose and James that they’re “outnumbered.” Baron suddenly walks away, but Commissioner Shane McMahon interrupts. He wants everyone to be cohesive for Smackdown!, and makes James the “mascot” for Team Smackdown!
