Following the events of "Archangel Finds Bliss: Genesis", the newly dethroned Universal Champion, Archangel seeks out to claim the title once more, but reality kicks in... Vince McMahon and his diabolical schemes are back in play, as he tries to tea...
The effects of the last two weeks continued to show on the locker room as everyone stood in front of the stage, except for a handful of Superstars. On RAW, Stephanie McMahon and HHH announced the road to Survivor Series had begun and everyone was chomping at the bit to get a spot on the traditional elimination matches. Without a shadow of a doubt, Seth Rollins was leading Monday Night RAW into the famed cross-brand rivalry Pay-Per-View, but there were 4 more spots to be filled and Murphy just got ripped a new one after a Kendo Stick beatdown by the Mysterios on RAW
The Superstars of SmackDown all lined up as Stephanie McMahon and HHH stood in the ring addressing Survivor Series. The former Commissioner of RAW and the Head of NXT stood in the middle of the SmackDown ring, addressing the WWE Universe and members of SmackDown just as they did on RAW before Corbin walked to the middle of the ring
Corbin: Stephanie McMahon, Triple H, there is no need to worry about SmackDown's ability because the King is here and I, will lead Team SmackDown to a glorious victory at Survivor Series!
Before boos could break out amongst the WWE Universe, the Archangel stepped out from behind the curtain and twirled the microphone in hand before pointing his finger directly at the crowned Superstar
Archangel: No. You won't. What SmackDown needs, is someone willing to do whatever it takes. Someone who can rise against adversity and still conquer it. I will be leading Team SmackDown. And if you got a problem with that, I'll just kick you and your lackey's ass again!
Looking dead in the eye of the man he defeated at Hell in a Cell, a towering shadow cast over the Celestial Superstar and a giant hand clamped down on his shoulders. Looking up to see the towering Monster Among Men with a sneer as he pushed down on the Archangel's shoulders. Gripping the Monster's hand, the Celestial Superstar refused to crumble, instead, pulling back the hands of the Monster and twisting it before Stephanie McMahon interrupted the rising tension between Monster and the Herald from High
Stephanie: Gentlemen, gentlemen, please! This is the WWE, and we settle our differences in the ring, so tonight, it will be Braun Strowman, King Corbin and the Archangel in a triple-threat match where the winner will captain Team SmackDown at Survivor Series!

As a vignette of him preparing for the match later on tonight came on the titantron, the Archangel wrapped up a couple of lunges before taking a towel and polishing his kneecap before blowing on it, as if his knee was the key to victory (and it most certainly is!) before the SmackDown Women's Champion stood in the middle of the ring with her best friend, claiming that the Boss would be leading the Blue brand to victory before an all-out brawl began, leading to a 5-on-5 match
Taking a swig from his bottle, the Archangel sat, watching the match from the outside as Alexa Bliss looked on at the match in her pigtails before all hell broke loose and Lacey Evans who was still crawling in defiance shouted at the Goddess on the apron, "What are you gonna do? Call The Fiend?!" This sparked something in the 5-foot-1 Superstar as her back shifted upright, almost robotically as she proceeded to maul the First Lady of WWE before sending her into the mat with a Sister Abigail!
