Official “Smackdown Live” Preview – December 5, 2017

The Clash is tuning up. With less than two weeks to go before “Clash of Champions 2017”, it’s time to really crank things into high gear. We have some big stories going on at the moment, though we still need some extra build. That might be accomplished on this week’s show, which is already lined up.

WWE.com has posted the official preview for this week’s edition of “Smackdown Live” with a focus on five main stories. The story at the top of the list focuses on Sami Zayn, who attacked Randy Orton last week during his match with Kevin Owens. This goes against Shane McMahon’s orders, which will cause some issues going forward. Here are the top stories.

Will Sami Zayn face any consequences for his actions last week?

Opinion: There’s a lot of good stuff going on over on “Smackdown Live” at the moment but the top stories need some work. Jinder Mahal isn’t doing it as the challenger for the World Title and Owens/Zayn vs. McMahon with Daniel Bryan on the side feels much more like a long term plan than anything else. The rest is good but the show is far from perfect.
