In this special Thursday Flashback episode of the Wade Keller Pro Wrestling Podcast, we jump back to two episodes from five years ago this week - one covering Raw with host Wade Keller and cohost Joel Dehnel and the other covering Smackdown with guest host Pat McNeill.

In the first episode from Nov. 7, 2016, PWTorch editor Wade Keller is joined by PWTorch.com contributor Joel Dehnel to talk about Raw, Survivor Series, Undertaker, and more with live callers and email contributions. Did WWE do a good job hyping Survivor Series? Did the crowd add to or take away from the show? What is Undertaker up to?

He discusses the live-to-tape show from Glasgow, Shane McMahon being added to the Smackdown team for Survivor Series, Becky Lynch’s title defense against Alexa Bliss, James Ellsworth’s involvement in the last month, and what’s next for Smackdown going into Survivor Series & TLC.
