WWE Smackdown Highlights: Top 3 moments of Friday Night Smackdown- Tonight’s Smackdown aired live from the Scope Arena in Norfolk, Virginia. The show started with all the five members of the Women’s Team Smackdown in the ring, and all of a sudden, it was all chaotic when Naomi entered the frame to launch an attack on Shayna Baszler.
We all had high hopes from the main event of the night featuring Xavier Woods and Roman Reigns, but as usual, an interruption from The Usos killed the thrill to end the night. What are the best three moments of the night, let’s have a look.

WWE Smackdown Highlights: Roman Reigns crowned himself as the new King
Roman Reigns and King Woods headlined tonight’s show. No one really counted on Woods in this match, but the King had a terrific show against the Universal Champion and almost defeated him if it wasn’t for The Usos rescuing their cousin.

King Woods hit a coast to coast to end Roman Reigns. He went for a pin and almost had him until The Usos intervened and pulled King Woods outside the ring to beat the hell out of him. After the beatdown, The Usos took King Wood’s Crown and put in on Roman Reigns to make him the new King.

Despite losing the match via DQ, Roman stood tall in the ring wearing the crown with his Bloodline cousins and Wiseman Paul Heyman. This crowning thing isn’t official as King Woods never lost the match, but now it would be interesting to see what drama takes place next week.
