Just from reading the results, I'll watch the Usos/New Day promo, Roode squashing Kanellis, and nothing else.

The Tuesday, October 3rd episode of SmackDown Live, which was the "go-home" show for this Sunday's blue-brand WWE Hell In A Cell 2017 pay-per-view, saw a decline in viewership compared to last week.

The 10/3 edition of SmackDown Live finished with 2.323 million viewers, according to Showbuzz Daily, down a considerable amount compared to last week's show, which finished with an average of 2.542 million viewers.

SmackDown Live this week, which featured Shane McMahon and Kevin Owens' face-to-face confrontation ahead of their Hell In A Cell showdown this Sunday in the main event segment, finished number nine in overall viewership, and number three in the coveted 18-49 year-old demographic.

no PPV thread yet so here's some potential spoilers.
Dave Meltzer & Bryan Alvarez speculated that based on the booking it appears as if Charlotte is going to beat Natalya for the Smackdown women's title. It was also suggested that Baron Corbin could be walking out with the US title, perhaps because WWE has plans to push Tye Dillinger as the next contender for the title.

-- It was also discussed on Wrestling Observer Live, that the "falls count anywhere" stipulation added to the Shane McMahon vs. Kevin Owens match is because of Shane's plans to do something crazy in the match. Not only does shifting the action outside of the ring hide some of Shane's deficiencies as a wrestler, but it gives him multiple avenues to do a ridiculous bump.

-- It is expected that Jack Swagger may be making a return to the company as soon as next week for the Smackdown brand but plans are still uncertain as the writing team has been coming together to make a strong return.

-- It was also noted that by adding that stipulation, it gives WWE the chance to pre-tape some segments of the match before hand and then air it during the match. Not only will this allow the company a certain degree of planning that they couldn't do in a live setting, but it also presents an opportunity to use a stunt double should common sense prevail.
:lupe: ppv might be something
