Sasha Banks Vs. Shotzi, Sheamus Return Set For 11/19 WWE SmackDown
Just two nights before Survivor Series
A match pitting Sasha Banks against Shotzi, as well as the return of Sheamus, are both scheduled for next Friday night's SmackDown, the go-home show preceding Survivor Series.
The rivalry between Shotzi and Banks began two weeks ago, when Shotzi attacked Banks following a match with Charlotte Flair. The two were involved in a brawl on Friday's SmackDown that included the other members of the blue brand's women's Survivor Series team, which led to a six-person tag.
Banks and Shotzi will be on the same team at next weekend's Survivor Series pay-per-view, teaming up with Shayna Baszler and Natalya. One spot on the team is open, after Sonya Deville removed Aliyah during SmackDown.
As for Sheamus, his return on next week's SmackDown was announced on Friday by Ridge Holland. Sheamus has been off since September, when he underwent surgery on his broken nose.
Holland had a verbal confrontation with Cesaro on Friday, which began with Cesaro warning Holland to be careful around Sheamus. Holland dismissed the message, saying he and Sheamus would make for a better tag team than The Bar.
