Some news and notes have surfaced regarding tonight’s (November 13, 2018) episode of WWE SmackDown Live in St. Louis, MO at the Enterprise Center on the USA Network.
First up, Pwinsider.com is reporting that WWE Hall of Famer Ric Flair is in town for the show. As of this writing, there’s word yet on if The Nature Boy will appear on the show. It’s possible that he is used to talk his daughter, former SmackDown Women’s Champion Charlotte Flair, into being the captain of the women’s Survivor Series team against Team RAW at this Sunday’s pay-per-view event in Los Angeles, California.
Flair has not been seen on SmackDown Live since SmackDown 1000 last month when Evolution (Triple H, Randy Orton, and Batista) reunited together.
Also, for those who are wondering, WWE Universal Champion Brock Lesnar is not slated to appear on the show in order to further build his champion vs. champion match at Survivor Series against WWE Champion AJ Styles. Thus, the next time that they square off, it won’t be until Survivor Series.
Finally, Triple H and WWE Chairman Vince McMahon are not backstage at the show. Instead, Michael Hayes and Kevin Dunn are the ones in charge of running the show.
