King Woods, a member of the Smackdown Survivor Series team, is looking to add stakes to the annual match.
On the November 12 edition of Smackdown, King Woods will be taking on the Universal Champion Roman Reigns. Prior to the match, the King of the Ring shared a video to his Twitter page calling out the current Universal Champion.
In the video, Woods said, “There’s two things I want to get off my chest. The first one being about the Usos and the usurper, one Roman Reigns. Last Friday, what you all did was completely unprofessional. So since we’re clearly no longer acting as gentlemen in this situation, then it’s time to get nasty because y’all felt the need to try to take Kofi out and you completely disrespected my crown. So, Roman, I don’t care that you’re the self-proclaimed Head of the Table. I don’t care how many times you’ve been champion. I don’t care how many times you’ve main evented WrestleMania. I will be at SmackDown on Friday, and when I see you, it’s your ass.” (h/t Gisberto Guzzo of Fightful)
A complaint many analysts have had about recent versions of Survivor Series is that there are no real stakes in the match except useless ‘bragging rights in the name of brand supremacy.’ Woods offered up the idea that the winning team would be able to get an advantage in the 2022 Royal Rumble match.
“Second thing, Survivor Series, five on five, Raw vs SmackDown, what a joyous occasion. But what are we fighting for? What I proclaim, your King proclaims that the losing team, Raw, obviously, should have a five-way elimination match fighting for spots one through five in next year’s Royal Rumble. SmackDown, the winning team, would do the same but we’d be fighting for spots 26 through 30. If you guys are down, hit me up. Let me know. If not, it’s cool, we can do bragging rights like usual. Whatever. Roman sucks! Deuces,” the King added.
