Chicago, 11 November - Here are the top 5 highlights of the November 10th episode of WWE SmackDown which aired live at the Nationwide Arena in Columbus, OH. Let's check out the top 5 highlights below: ## #1. Santos Escobar's Heel Turn: The segment opens with anticipation for Santos Escobar's heel turn, a significant development in his character arc. The gradual shift from babyface to heel is a pivotal moment in a wrestler's storyline, and for Escobar, it adds layers to his persona. The tension is built effectively as he confronts Rey Mysterio, and the subsequent interaction with Carlito sets the stage for a potential feud. Escobar's departure through the crowd adds an element of unpredictability, leaving fans curious about the direction his character will take. ## This turn is particularly intriguing given Escobar's history with Mysterio and the LWO. The narrative potential lies in exploring the reasons behind Escobar's departure and how it will impact both Mysterio and the LWO stable. ## #2. Bobby Lashley vs. Carlito Match: ## The in-ring action between Bobby Lashley and Carlito is described as one-sided, with Lashley dominating most of the match. While the outcome is predictable, it serves a purpose in building Lashley's credibility as a dominant force. The concern raised about Carlito's occasional losses in his WWE comeback adds an element of intrigue, questioning the direction of his character. The post-match angle, however, steals the spotlight. The chaotic brawl involving the Street Profits, Wilde, Toro, and Escobar emphasizes the internal conflicts within the LWO stable. Escobar's involvement in the beatdown and his reluctance to help Carlito hint at deeper issues. The tension escalates with Rey Mysterio's intervention, culminating in Escobar's surprising attack on Mysterio. ## #3. Damage CTRL Segment: ## Bayley's address regarding her plans for Damage CTRL and the surprise appearance of Kairi Sane injects new energy into the women's division. The revelation that Sane forgives Bayley for a past attack raises eyebrows, setting the stage for a potential redemption arc for Bayley. The skepticism expressed by the commentator adds a layer of intrigue, questioning the simplicity of Sane's forgiveness. The segment's significance lies in the formation of Damage CTRL as a formidable faction. With SKY (presumed to be Io Shirai) and Dakota Kai by her side, Bayley positions herself as the leader of a powerful trio. ## #4. Dragon Lee vs. Cedric Alexander Match: ## The description of the match between Dragon Lee and Cedric Alexander highlights the enjoyable nature of the bout. The emphasis on crowd reactions, especially the "This is awesome!" chants, underscores the audience's appreciation for quality in-ring action. The call for more matches of this type on WWE programming suggests a desire for a diverse range of wrestling styles and a focus on showcasing the talent of the roster. ## The positive response from the crowd suggests that fans are receptive to dynamic and engaging matches, and the hope for more such encounters raises questions about the booking decisions and the variety of matches presented on WWE shows. ## #5. LA Knight and Grayson Waller Segment: ## The segment featuring LA Knight and Grayson Waller is characterized by strong mic work from both performers. Knight's response to his loss at Crown Jewel and his determination not to be pushed to the back of the line maintains his status as a credible contender. Waller's insertion into the narrative as a provocateur questioning Knight's abilities adds a personal touch to their feud. The subsequent match between LA Knight and Grayson Waller is described as a solid television match, serving its purpose in keeping Knight in the spotlight. ## Stay Tuned To Sacnilk...

It was a singles match, and Cena lost after being hit with repeated Samoan Spikes to the throat.## Cena's last run was a surprise to many, as he had been focusing on his Hollywood career in recent years. However, with Hollywood on hold due to the strikes, Cena was able to dedicate his attention to wrestling again. He competed in a handful of matches, including a match against Seth Rollins and a match against LA Knight. ## Cena's last run was also notable for his feud with The Bloodline, one of the most powerful factions in WWE.

New York, 10 November - WWE has been slowly opening up more advertising inventory in and around the ring over the past few years, and this is expected to continue in the future. This is due to the influence of Nick Khan, WWE's Chief Revenue Officer, who is focused on increasing the company's revenue. ## In the past, Vince McMahon was opposed to ringside advertising, but he has since changed his mind. This is likely due to the fact that WWE has seen how successful other sports leagues have been with ringside advertising. ## It is expected that WWE will continue to sell more ringside advertising space in the future, as this is a new and lucrative revenue stream for the company. WWE has been under pressure to increase its revenue in recent years, and the company is looking at all possible ways to do so.## Ringside advertising is one way that WWE can generate additional revenue without having to rely on its traditional revenue streams, such as ticket sales and television rights fees. ## Check out the full report via Dave Meltzer on the Wrestling Observer Radio: ## Another change we can expect [in WWE] is the look of the ringside area. In the past, Vince McMahon was a proponent of a clean ring, meaning no advertising on the mats, the barricades or around the ring. ## Obviously that has changed due to the influence of Nick Khan. ## It’s noted that Vince is no longer thinking that way & that advertising in & around the ring will be opening up more advertising inventory & they are very happy McMahon agreed to it.’ ## Stay Tuned To Sacnilk...
