WWE SmackDown Results: Biggest Winners, Losers and Moments from November 5
Remember, remember the fifth of November.
WWE certainly will, what with the announcement that the catastrophic injury suffered by Seth Rollins in Ireland will keep him out of action for six-to-nine months and necessitate the complete rebooking of the company's top storylines and plans heading into WrestleMania 32.
Thankfully for the sports entertainment empire's crack writing staff, SmackDown was taped on Tuesday night.

Modern-Day Dream Matches 💭

Most Likely Backlash Heel/Face Turns 🎭
While the show was hardly innovative or progressive, it did provide some quality wrestling, particularly the non-title match between United States champion Alberto Del Rio and Neville.
The Wyatt Family was dominant as it tore through The Prime Time Players and The Lucha Dragons in a Traditional Survivor Series Elimination bout.
Then there was the dissension within Team B.A.D., as Naomi and Sasha Banks argued over who the true leader of the trio is.
In all, Thursday's broadcast was another night of quality wrestling, if nothing else.
Which Superstars and Divas were the night's biggest winners, and who was the biggest loser?
Let's take a look.
Winner: Sasha Banks
Anyone looking forward to The Boss' eventually breaking free from the confines of Team B.A.D. and setting out on her own had to be extremely pleased to see the issues that surfaced between her and Naomi Thursday night.
There was notable tension between the Divas as they argued over who the real leader of the team is.
With the seeds officially planted for the breakup of the trio, it is only a matter of time before the former NXT women's champion becomes the breakout star she should have been from the moment she joined the main roster.
Banks has been buried in the background as a member of Team B.A.D., forced to watch as the efforts of WWE Creative were put behind Charlotte, The Bella Twins and Paige. With Nikki Bella sidelined for the foreseeable future, it is time for The Boss to step into the title picture and take her place among the elite Divas on Raw and SmackDown.
Thursday night was merely the first step in that direction.
Losers: The Lucha Dragons
Remember last week's episode of SmackDown, when Sin Cara and Kalisto won a Fatal 4-Way match and appeared to be next in line to challenge New Day for the WWE Tag Team Championships? How about Monday night, when they beat Sheamus and King Barrett in a huge upset?
Just in case you thought for a second that they may be in line for some sort of tremendous push, WWE Creative was there to remind you that they are still on the lower end of tag teams, smacking them down via a loss in Thursday's elimination tag match.
It was yet another example of WWE's inconsistency when it comes to pushing its talent. Just as Sin Cara and Kalisto were building a foundation, getting over with convincing wins, they were knocked down a peg, reminding them where they fit in the grand scheme of things.
After all, we cannot possibly have more than one babyface team getting pushed at a time, and with the return of The Usos, it is clear that Jimmy and Jey will get the nod when it comes to challenging Big E and Kofi Kingston either at Survivor Series or in December at Tables, Ladders & Chairs.
Winners: Dean Ambrose and Kevin Owens
The Lunatic Fringe and the intercontinental champion have become standout stars on SmackDown, doing some of their finest work on the blue brand.
Thursday night, they continued to develop their budding rivalry in a singles bout that was the direct result of Ambrose's elimination of Owens on Raw.
The finish was a disappointing one that deflated the crowd, but the match that led to that moment was really solid and demonstrated the chemistry that exits between the two.
The injury to Rollins will likely alter the plans for both men as Survivor Series approaches, but that does not mean that the long-traveled veterans of the independent scene will not meet at some point during the November 22 tournament to crown the new WWE champion.
