WWE SmackDown Spoilers: Complete Results and Analysis for November 12
Roman Reigns, Dolph Ziggler, Dean Ambrose, Kevin Owens and Cesaro advanced to the second round of the WWE World Heavyweight Championship Tournament on Monday's Raw.
On Tuesday night, World Wrestling Entertainment taped this week's SmackDown, and three Superstars joined them thanks to victories in qualifying-round bouts.
With a lineup that includes United States champion Alberto Del Rio squaring off with Stardust in a battle of heels, Kalisto matching up with Ryback in a contest of babyfaces and Neville battling King Barrett in the renewal of their rivalry, SmackDown is sure to be relevant for the first time in quite awhile.
The Wyatt Family, looking to avenge the beating it endured at the hands of The Brothers of Destruction on Raw, unleashed hell on the WWE roster.
Its unfortunate victims? The Usos and Fandango.
Yes, Fandango.
Who advanced in the tournament for the top prize in the industry and how did the unlucky three faced with the wrath of The Wyatts fare?

Analysis
The biggest takeaway from Thursday's show is the formal announcement that The Brothers of Destruction will battle The Wyatt Family at Survivor Series, but the most shocking moment—without a doubt—is Kalisto's completely unexpected victory over Ryback in the WWE title tournament.
The masked luchador has wowed fans during his stints in NXT and WWE, with his flashy and high-risk offense stunning them.
Now, thanks to his win over The Big Guy, he is poised to battle Alberto Del Rio (another tournament winner) in quarterfinal action.
WWE has been looking for a Hispanic star to help boost its presence south of the border, and Kalisto may be the guy they were looking for—especially if he can rise to the occasion and turn in a quality performance against former world champion Del Rio.
The one aspect of Tuesday's tapings that stands out other than the advancement of the tournament and the latest chapter of The Wyatt Family's war with The Brothers of Destruction is the lack of Divas action on the show.
Sure, two hours limits the amount of action that can be fit into a show, but it seems odd that the company would not even book a promo or something similar featuring Divas champion Charlotte, who has all but fallen into the background despite a title defense against Paige at Survivor Series.
Still, that one small issue is not enough to erase everything WWE Creative did to make this week's show feel like it means something rather than being the throwaway it typically is.
