WWE announced during last night's WWE SmackDown that next week's episode of the show will feature the finals of the SmackDown on FOX World Cup tournament. Last night’s Survivor Series: WarGames go-home episode of Friday Night SmackDown saw Santos Escobar defeat Butch in a SmackDown on FOX World Cup Semi-Finals Match, thanks to a distraction from Legado del Fantasma and Ricochet defeat Braun Strowman also in a SmackDown on FOX World Cup Semi-Finals Match, thanks to an assist by Imperium.
It was then made official that next week's episode of WWE Friday Night SmackDown will see Ricochet go up against Santos Escobar in the finals of the SmackDown on FOX World Cup tournament, with the winner earning a future shot at the WWE Intercontinental Champion GUNTHER.
