What Happened On WWE SmackDown?
WWE presented the final build to the Crown Jewel event in Saudi Arabia 24 after the show went off the air. To allow the roster to travel to The Kingdom, the November 3rd episode was pre-taped.
The show saw the final build to the big matches scheduled for the event, such as Roman Reigns defending the title against LA Knight and Iyo Sky defending the WWE Women’s Championship against Bianca Belair.
As spoilers were circulating online, this likely contributed to the lower rating.
