The latest edition of WWE Friday Night SmackDown for November 22, 2019 took place at the Allstate Arena in Chicago, IL.
Here is a recap of the most noteworthy highlights from this episode for those who might have missed it:
— The show started with Roman Reigns setting the tone that SmackDown wasn't going to back down from a fight, opening up the doors for Raw and NXT to come right into the arena. Sasha Banks then went straight to the ring with Team SmackDown to call out the other women. Charlotte Flair challenged Banks to a match, which was made into a Triple Threat when Rhea Ripley and some NXT superstars (Candice LeRae, Tegan Nox, Toni Storm and Mia Yim) came out to make it captain vs. captain vs. captain.
— Rhea Ripley defeated Charlotte Flair and Sasha Banks in the triple threat by pinning Flair. Raw and SmackDown's women then fought each other as NXT taunted them on the stage.
— Sami Zayn unveiled a new Intercontinental Championship for Shinsuke Nakamura in a promo segment. The Undisputed ERA interrupted when Zayn and Nakamura couldn't remember Roderick Strong's name. Then, The New Day came out to challenge The Undisputed ERA to an eight-man tag team match with their partners, Heavy Machinery.
— The Undisputed ERA defeated Heavy Machinery and The New Day by pinfall.
— Following that match, there was a fight between Strong, Nakamura and AJ Styles until Sami Zayn took them out with a chair and ran off with Nakamura. During the commercial break and when the show returned, The O.C. cut a promo about Chicago, wherein Styles said he'd mop the floor with CM Punk. They left when Daniel Bryan came out for his promo.
— Daniel Bryan wanted to call out Bray Wyatt, but The Miz came out instead. Miz said he was trying to slap some sense into Bryan and bring the best out of him last week, like he always does, but Bryan disrespected him on his own talk show. This led to a match, which ended when The Fiend attacked Bryan.
— Shayna Baszler called out Bayley, who attacked her from behind.
— King Corbin, Dolph Ziggler and Robert Roode defeated Roman Reigns, Shorty G and Mustafa Ali by pinfall. A brawn then ensued to close the night with members of the Raw, SmackDown and NXT rosters all duking it out.
