Tom Phillips mentioned at Survivor Series that Jinder Mahal would be invoking his rematch clause against AJ Styles on tonight’s SmackDown, but apparently plans have changed, because WWE is not promoting that match in their SmackDown preview. The preview just says, “Will AJ Styles cross paths with Jinder Mahal after tangling with The Beast?”
In this video, Jinder says that when and where he invokes his rematch clause remains to be seen, but promises that he’ll be a two time WWE Champion soon.
The Bludgeon Brothers
The only other noteworthy or specific thing mentioned in WWE’s SmackDown preview is the debut of The Bludgeon Brothers, who will be taking on The Hype Bros.
