Bray Wyatt challenged The Brothers of Destruction at Survivor Series

MANCHESTER, England — SmackDown traveled across the pond, with three explosive WWE World Heavyweight Championship First Round Tournament Matches and a night full of destruction by The Wyatt Family.

Three days after The Brothers of Destruction returned and took them down on Raw, The Wyatt Family roars back on SmackDown with a huge Survivor Series challenge.

Three days after The Undertaker and Demon Kane crashed their own eulogy and unleashed hell on The Wyatt Family, Bray Wyatt and his cohorts kicked off SmackDown. Luke Harper and Erick Rowan pledged to sacrifice The Usos to honor The New Face of Fear. Braun Strowman swore to destroy anyone in his path and pile the bodies to the sky for The Eater of Worlds.

Claiming his dark adversaries would never be the same, Wyatt then issued a challenge to The Brothers of Destruction for a match at Survivor Series against any two Wyatt members of his choosing. But when the bell rang for the opening SmackDown contest, it remained unclear whether The Deadman and his demonic brother would accept?

As a result of his victory, Del Rio will battle Kalisto in the semifinals of the tournament this Monday on Raw.
