Welcome to insidesport.co News’ live results for WWE SmackDown on FS1, and this marks the final stop on the route to WWE TLC.
Tonight’s SmackDown will play host to the first-ever Sami Awards, where Sami Zayn gives out what he feels to be the real awards opposed to the Slammy’s. This could be a fun segment, as is every one featuring Zayn, but me thinks Big E may make an appearance to potentially set-up a showdown on Sunday.
The Street Profits will defend the SmackDown Tag team Titles against Roode and Ziggler tonight, possibly confirming this match won’t feature on the TLC PPV. One match that will be happening however is Sasha Banks Vs, Carmella, and tonight Mella will be hosting a champagne toast to celebrate her certain win at the PPV. Once again, it’s hard to see this segment going down with some interference.
Beyond that, Bianca Belair faces Bayley and we’re going to see some form of confrontation between Roman Reigns and Kevin Owens ahead of their huge TLC showdown. So this has the potential to be a pretty fun episode of SmackDown, and we’ll have the results right here as they happen. Enjoy the show!
SMACKDOWN
This week’s SmackDown opens with a look back at last week, when Kevin Owens confronted Roman Reigns and got destroyed for it. Owens makes his way to the ring, which is surrounded with tables, ladders, and chairs.
Owens paces back and forth and immediately calls out Roman. The Tribal Chief doesn’t respond and Owens says that’s OK, he has a lot to say. He said he heard Roman’s message loud and clear last week and he had a talk with his family this week. He told his family not to watch this Sunday but not because he doesn’t want them to see what Roman does to him, but because he doesn’t want them to look at him differently after what he does. Owens says a few weeks ago Roman said he cares how his sons see him, but his kids already know their dad is a hypocrite. He uses his family members as pawns and that’s pathetic. KO says he knows Roman knows he’s not the head of the table, he’s a coward.
Paul Heyman appears on the Titantron and says Owens should know by now Roman comes out on his own time. Heyman says he was wrong about Owens, he thought he was a masochist and that’s fine because Roman is a sadist. But KO isn’t a masochist, he’s a martyr. He’s willing to do anything to take the title and that makes him dangerous, and he’ll have to be eliminated, eradicated. Owens cuts him off and says he can’t listen to another word, he’s going to go find Roman. Owens jumps out of the ring and heads towards the back.
Owens is walking backstage and Adam Pearce is trying to talk some sense into him. Owens ignores him and goes to Roman’s door but that’s when the Big Dog’s music hits and he walks out to the ring with Heyman. Owens is left watching a TV screen and shaking his head in anger.
Roman says he doesn’t want to hurt Owens or his family, but he’s running around telling the world he’s a bad guy. He’s not, he’s just doing what he has to do to be the guy. Reigns says Owens doesn’t get it, it’s above his pay-grade. He wants to show KO he’s a good guy, so he’s going to give him the opportunity to acknowledge him as Owens’ Tribal Chief but Owens has already walked away from the TV. If he doesn’t, he will end him. Tonight.
Owens marches down to the ring but Jey Uso attacks him from behind. The two of them scrap on the floor until Roman comes out and rip helps Jey beat KO down. They continue beating on Owens until a bunch of officials and referees run down and push them away. Roman stares them down, then lifts Owens and slams him into the barricade. Heyman hands Roman his title and they leave.
After the break, the SmackDown Tag Team Titles are on the line!
We return to replays of what just happened, then Jey is backstage telling Roman Owens understands now. Roman says he doesn’t. He says he knows men like KO and they never learn, so he tells Jey to go end him.
WWE SMACKDOWN TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIPS
(C) THE STREET PROFITS VS. DOLPH ZIGGLER & ROBERT ROODE
We start proceedings with Roode and Dawkins but an instant distraction from Ziggler allows Roode to attack Angelo against the ropes. Dolph tags in but Dawkins hits them both and tags Ford so they can hit dropkicks. Ford stomps Ziggler and hits a back suplex, kips-up and lands a moonsault. Roode jumps on the apron and Ford knocks him off before going up top. Ziggler attacks Ford, knocking him to the apron but Ford kicks Ziggler back and climbs back up, only for Roode to shove him off the top rope into the barricade!
Back live and Ziggler pins Ford with a fisherman suplex for a near-fall. Ziggler whips him chest-first into the buckles, then tags Roode and they hit a double-team splash/kitchen sink/Russian leg sweep for a two-count. Roode drops knees to the back of Ford’s neck on the mat, then puts him in the corner and tags Dolph. Ford makes some wild swings for Dolph but eats a dropkick to the gut for his troubles.
Roode tags in and hits a gutwrench suplex for a two-count, then tags Dolph again. Ford fights out of a submission but gets kicked down and Roode tags in again. Ford tosses Ziggler up and over the ropes, then dodges Roode who hits the buckles hard. Ford makes a tag to Dawkins, who comes in hot with spinning back elbows, a flapjack, and an overhead belly-to-belly.
Dawkins hits both men with spinning splashes in the corners, then a spinning double-arm neckbreaker to Roode for a near-fall. Dawkins looks for a spinebuster but Roode counters. Ziggler tags in and Roode throws him up for a super Fame-Asser and a near-fall. Dawkins blocks a superkick and hits the Annointment and tags Ford. Montez hits From The Heavens but crawls to the tag and Roode breaks it up. Roode rolls-up Ford for a two-count, holding the tights, but Ford reverses the roll-up and holds the tights to win!
Winners: The Street Profits
Ziggler and Roode are furious with the referee and demonstrate what happened. They corner him and berate him but he starts shouting at them, telling them they’ll get suspended if they don’t back off.
Later tonight, Carmella will offer a toast to Sasha Banks, and Bianca Belair will face Bayley. Kevin Owens is limping around backstage with Adam Pearce and a referee trying to talk some sense into him. Jey Uso attacks him from behind with a chair and screams at him to stay down. Uso hits him again, then drops the chair. Jey leaves and KO stumbles to his feet.
