Hello and welcome to WWE Smackdown Results!
Tonight should be a fun one with a couple of fun matches planned and plenty of storylines to dive into
Let’s dive into the action!
RK-Bro opened the show after promising to demand a answer from the Usos on their challenge to unify the tag titles.
Orton welcomed us to Smackdown, and called out the Usos for not having the balls to make decisions for themselves.

After a quick back and forth, Orton ordered Roman Reigns to some out to his ring and Sami Zayn answered.
Zayn told them they can’t snap their fingers and get him to come out, so he addressed them for him and the locker room by saying no one wants to see a tag title unification match.
But especially not RK-Bro because they’ll lose and told them it’s best to go back to Raw and don’t come back.
Orton begged Zayn to make the match between him and Riddle, and if Riddle wins they get their unification match.
Zayn agreed but said it’ll be in a week or two as he has to talk to Paul Heyman and Reigns. Adam Pearce came out and made the match between Zayn and Riddle.

Riddle caught Zayn off the top rope with a knee and nearly scored a pin fall.
Zayn kept fighting and hit a Mishinoku Driver for a near pinfall after Riddle escaped a Blue Thunder Bomb attempt.
For some insult, Zayn went for a draping DDT but Riddle dumped him onto the floor and hit a kick and moonsault.
Riddle nailed a powerslam and draping DDT, then went for an RKO but Zayn rolled to the floor.
Zayn rammed Riddle into the ring post and threw riddle into the time keeper’s area to try for a count out win. McAfee compared it to QB’s throwing for a pass interference penalty and called it cheap.
Riddle made it into the ring, and while Zayn argued with the ref Riddle hit a Bro-Derek for the win.
Backstage, Reigns asked why RK-Bro are on his show after he smashed them. The Usos went on about them disrespecting the Bloodline and said if they take the match the world will acknowledge Reigns.
Ronda Rousey came out to celebrate the beginning of her Smackdown Women’s Championship Reign.
Rousey started it off by saying Flair has an impressive statistic as a former 13 time world champion and gave her props for being one of her toughest competitors, but Ronda would die before saying she quits.
She wants to be a fighting champion and issued an open challenge Raguel Rodriguez came out and accepted after introducing herself.

Ronda sidesteps a charge in the corner and went for an armbar but Raquel countered with a sidewalk slam but missed her coming off the ropes.
Raquel powered out of a guillotine into a suplex for a near pinfall.
Ronda came back with a series of knees and went for a Piper’s Pit, but Raquel once again powered out of it into a Samoan Drop for a near pinfall.
Raquel went for a powerbomb and Ronda rolled through it to roll Raquel up for the win.
Raquel should’ve won this. Ronda did a great job putting her over by being dominated and having to sneak in a win. Afterwards they shook hands.
