Hello and welcome to WWE Smackdown Results!
Tonight should be a fun one despite being taped after last week’s Smackdown due to the holiday, and there are some good looking matches lined up. Let’s get to the action!
The Bloodline led by Roman Reigns came out to the ring to start the show off. Paul Heyman went to work promoting the Bloodline’s upcoming matches in which he gave his usual spoilers where the Bloodline will win everything.
Roman Reigns picked it up, but he noticed Sami Zayn looked a little flushed and asked him to tell everyone what will happen.

Zayn said all he’s wanted is a little respect and a place to belong and he found it and family with the Bloodline and how everywhere he goes everyone loves him.
It should put him on top of the world, but it doesn’t because a black cloud called Kevin Owens is hanging over his head. His big moment last week was ruined by Owens’ existence.
They’ve been tied together his entire career and he can’t get rid of him.
He promised they’ll leave him mangled and smashed for stepping up to the Bloodline.

Jey and Adonis started it off, and Adonis distracted Jey with a little dance to get the upper hand, and then Top Dolla came in and they double teamed Jey.
Jey slipped out of a slam and hit a chop block on Dolla and tagged in Jimmy.
After taking tons of abuse, Top Dolla hit a spine buster of Jey to buy some time and he managed to tag in Adonis.
Adonis took it to both Usos and hit a DDT on Jey after knocking Jimmy to the floor. Adonis hit a crossbody off the top rope for a near pinfall.
After Top Dolla dropped when trying to pick up both Usos, he ate a double superkick and hit a 1-D for the win.
#1 Contenders Gauntlet Match
With a shot at Ronda Rousey for the Smackdown Women’s Championship on the line, Emma was the first to come out, and Xia Li followed to be her first challenger.
Emma wasted no time in taking it to Li with a couple of running forearms for a pin attempt, but Li fired back with some kicks and a Cyclone Kick to move on.

Next up was Tegan Nox, and she wasted no time in going after Li with forearms front and back before hitting a front slam and a crossbody off the top rope for a near pinfall.
Li fought back with more kicks and a Cyclone Kick for the pin.
Raquel Rodriquez came out next, and Li focused on her injured left elbow with her kicks and hit a running knee on the apron.
Raquel fought back with a fallaway slam and a Vader Bomb for a near pinfall. She ducked under a Cyclone Kick and hit a Tajana Bomb for the pin and Liv Morgan ran out.
Morgan tried to start fast, but Raquel’s power blocked her offense for a time, but Morgan remained game and attempted a pair of roll ups for pin attempts.

Morgan locked in a sleeper, and Raquel fell backwards onto the mat to break the hold.
Despite Raquel’s best efforts, Morgan kept working on her injured arm and hit a missile dropkick for a pin attempt, then locked in a Rings of Satun, but Raquel powered out of the hold.
Raquel finished Morgan off with a Tajana Bomb, and Sonya Deville came out and went right after her injured arm.
Deville used various holds and tactics on Raquel’s injured arm until Raquel picked her off the top rope with her right hand and slammed her for the win.
Rousey came out to the ramp and told Raquel she has one more opponent. Deville was supposed to be the last entrant, but Rousey can change the rules without any reason.
After Baszler got in a few shots, Raquel rolled her up for the win.
