WWE Smackdown Results of the night

Universal Championship: Roman Reigns vs. Sami Zayn- When Roman Reigns made his way into the ring.

Sami was already collapsed on the floor. The Usos helped him get back on his feet and the bell rang. Reigns didn’t waste time and hit a spear on Sami followed by a Gaiety submission that saw Sami Zayn tapping out and Roman Reigns retaining his title.

In the ring: Sami Zayn takes the mic and tells the crowd that San Antonio is his least-liked place and he never imagined winning his first-ever Universal title before the San Antonio crowd. He further said once he upsets Roman Reigns tonight he won’t thank the people present in the crowd here but will thank Brock Lesnar.

Once Sami took Lesnar’s name, the Beast came out and stood in the ring with Sami Zayn. Sami said that he doesn’t want to disrespect him but of late his record against Roman has been a bit shabby. Therefore, if he (Brock) could help him win tonight against Roman then at WWE Day 1, Sami vs. Brock would be a lot easier than Roman vs. Brock.

This thought didn’t amuse Brock and he started an assault on Sami Zayn. He hit Sami with three German Suplex. The crowd charged him up further and he hit not one but three F5s on Sami Zayn. Finally, Brock help Sami get on his feet by making him stand at the corner so that he could face Roman Reigns for the title next.

Backstage: Naomi approached Sonya Deville to challenge her for a match. Sonya told her that she accepts her challenge but only when she is wearing her ring-ger. But till the time she is wearing the authority suit, Naomi can’t put her hands on her, or else she will ensure she doesn’t get her paycheck. The segment ended with Sonya slapping Naomi on her face.

 

 

Sheamus vs. Cesaro- As the bell rang, both men got into each other. After a side headlock to wear him down, Sheamus took Cesaro to the corner and hit him with multiple elbow shots with Cesaro standing right behind him.

The two men then exchanged blows with Cesaro hitting the uppercut, while Sheamus used the big right hand for striking the Celtic Warrior. Sheamus then hit his signature chest shots on Cesaro. Both men were trading blows and exchanging their offense.

The action then moved outside the ring and Cesaro hit Sheamus with a running uppercut to send him to the timekeeper area. Cesaro looked ruthless as he was slamming Sheamus’ head on the announce table before taking him back inside the ring.

In the ring, Sheamus came with a running knee strike to rock Cesaro. He went for a cover, but Cesaro barely kicked out. Once again the two men started trading strikes, and both trash talked with each other. Finally, Cesaro got some space for a Neutralizer, but Sheamus countered and finished off Cesaro with a vicious Brogue kick.

Charlotte Flair in the ring- Charlotte Flair talks about Toni Storm. She first talked about the fact that she helped Toni to get noticed by smashing not one but two pies on her face last week. She said that everyone in the arena liked what I did to her, everyone at home liked it.

Charlotte then discussed the challenge Toni has been lurking for weeks, i.e., a fight for the Smackdown Women’s Championship. Yet again, Charlotte disappointed everyone by not accepting Toni’s challenge. She then walked out of the ring and was making her exit on the ramp. Toni Storm, however, had different ideas as she came from being with a pie and bashed it into the champion’s face.

 

Backstage- Sir Kofi Kingston announced that The New Day is ready to dethrone The Usos. He says that he and King Woods are challenging The Usos for the Smackdown tag-team Championship at WWE Day 1.

King Woods vs. Jey Uso- Before the match could have started, The Usos talked about Sami Zayn who was about to challenge Roman Reigns tonight, and blamed him that he got intimidated courtesy of Brock Lesnar. They kept trash-talking until King Woods came out and introduced the return of Sir Kofi Kingston.

After some talking, it was time for the match now. King Woods was stunned with Jey Uso’s outrageous moves, but soon came back on his own and started his offense for good. King Woods hit Jey with a Baseball punch followed by a half-diving clothesline. He then went on the top turnbuckle, to dive all over Jey, but Jimmy who was on the ringside pulled Woods down which resulted in a disqualification win for King Woods.

Jimmy started assaulting Woods, but Kofi came to the rescue to beat the hell out of Jimmy. He then rolled Jimmy inside the ring and hit a Trouble in Paradise on Jey, while Jimmy was taken care of by King Woods. The beatdown ended with The Usos escaping the ring and The New Day standing at the top.

The Viking Raiders vs. Los Lotharios (Angel & Humberto Carrillo)- As the bell rung, Angel tried to run into Erick, but the latter caught him from his gut and slammed him on the mat. Erick was dominant as he was completely taken out by Erick when Ivar slammed his own partner with a back-first slam over Angel.

Angel & Humberto then came together and sent Ivar outside the ring. Humberto then dived on Ivar on the outside firm between the middle and top rope. In the ring, Angel was working on Erick and super-kicked him. Humberto then returned to the ring and helped Angel with a combined move. Angel was about to hit the basement drop kick on Erick, but Shinsuke Nakamura and Rick Boogs came near the announce table and Boogs was playing his guitar standing on the announce table.

This distracted Los Lotharios. Erick then sent Angel outside the ring using the double-axe handle. However, he was caught by Humberto from behind who rolled him up for a pinfall win.

Happy Talk: with Madcap Moss & Happy Corbin- “If you happy & you know it, clap our hands!”- This is how Happy Corbin started his talk show segment. Corbin then talked about last week’s Battle Royal and how it was bad for Jeff Hardy who got eliminated by Sami Zayn. He then pointed out Drew McIntyre who couldn’t even make it to the Battle Royal, and then came out with his giant sword to cut people in half.

Corbin asked Madcapp to crack jokes on both Hardy & McIntyre. Madcap did what Corbin asked him to do only to upset Drew who came out on the ramp with his sword ‘Angela.’ Corbin asked Madcap Moss to calm Drew down. As Moss went outside, Jeff came from behind and attacked Corbin inside the ring. He hit his Twist of Fate on both Corbin and Moss, and later Drew finished off Moss with a Claymore Kick.

 

 

Sasha Banks vs. Shayna Baszler- As the bell rang, Shayna tried to bash into Banks, but the former Smackdown women’s champion escaped the harm’s way and Baszler bumped into the corner. The two ladies displayed their offense for a while before the action shifted outside.

Shayna tried snapping Sasha with a Carafuna Clutch, but Sasha escaped and sent Shayna outside the ring. Sasha tried a sliding dropkick from under the bottom rope but Shayna help her in an ankle lock. Sasha got out of the lock somehow and then jumped off the apron with a double knee on Shayna. She then rolled Shayna inside the ring, went fr a cover but Shayna kicked out at 2 counts. Time for commercials.

As we returned from the commercial, we show Sasha working on Baszler in one of the corners. But Baszler ran down with a double knee strike on the parallel corner of the ring. After the knee strike, Baszler slammed Sasha with a gut wrench suplex. Baszler was now working on Sasha, but not for long as The Boss returned with a perfect arm-drag.

Both ladies were exchanging blows now before Shayna held Sasha in a Carafuna Clutch. Sasha was desperately trying to get out of the hold but converted it into a Bank Statement of her own. Baszler somehow survived the Bank Statement but couldn’t survive a roll-up that came out of nowhere.

Backstage- Sami Zayn approached Sonya Deville to know the status of her match. Sonya makes the match between Sami Zayn and Roman Reigns for the Universal, Brock also arrives at the scene and tells Sonya that he is facing the winner at WWE Day 1.

 

 

Brock Lesnar kicks off the show- The Beas is back! Brock Lesnar kicks off the show. Brock Lesnar kicks off Friday Night Smackdown and the crowd in San Antonio Texas is going bonkers.

Brock Lesnar started off by saying that he is here for one thing and one thing only, i.e., the Universal Championship. Lesnar was speaking until he was cut short by Sami Zayn, who dared to interrupt Beast.

Sami came out talking and went into the ring saying that he is a big fan of Brock and the two men have something in common, i.e., they are both from Canada. As he was speaking, Brock Lesnar told him to shut up and said he doesn’t know who he is and doesn’t even care who he is.

The two men exchanged a few words where Sami kept blabbering about himself and said that he is a locker room leader on Smackdown and one of the veterans. He told Lesnar, once he defeats Roman Reigns at WWE Day 1 and becomes the new Universal Champion, he will defeat his title against Brock Lesnar. Brock laughed at the idea and asked Sami why to wait until January 1, instead, he could beat Roman Reigns tonight.

Sami said he isn’t interested to face Roman tonight and will do things his way. Lesnar forced him to face Roman tonight but snapped his hand, and finally, Sami agreed. Brock told him to go and get Roman and he will ensure that he is at the ringside to watch the proceedings from close, and also assured Sami that he will have his back.
