WWE SmackDown video highlights: Daniel Bryan wins WWE title
On a noteworthy episode of SmackDown, Daniel Bryan turned heel and won the WWE Championship, Becky Lynch’s replacement for Survivor Series was announced, and WWE finished building to Sunday’s pay-per-view.
Bryan defeated AJ Styles in the main event to win the WWE title. Bryan moved out of the way when Styles was going for the Phenomenal Forearm, Styles accidentally bumped into the referee, Bryan kicked him low when the referee wasn’t looking, and then hit the running knee to win the championship. After the match, Bryan attacked Styles and stomped on his head.
Bryan will now face Universal Champion Brock Lesnar on Sunday.
With Becky Lynch off Survivor Series, her replacement was announced last night. Lynch picked her own replacement in storyline, with her choosing Charlotte Flair to face Ronda Rousey.
Jeff Hardy took Bryan’s spot on SmackDown’s Survivor Series men’s division team, and SAnitY, Luke Gallows & Karl Anderson, and The Colons joined The Usos and The New Day to round out the tag division team.
