Here The WWE Friday Night SmackDown Full Matche And Results With Short Review:
– Tonight’s WWE Friday Night SmackDown opened with Universal Champion Roman Reigns making his way to the ring. Reigns takes the mic and calls everyone to acknowledge him. He says he misses one week and everything falls apart. He continued that when you’re in isolation, you do a lot of thinking.
Roman Reigns says there’s so many things he wanted to say and do, so many people he wanted to see, but two people, and he doesn’t want to ever see those two in his life again. Those two are WWE Champion Brock Lesnar and Paul Heyman. Now, music interrupts and here comes Paul Heyman and Brock Lesnar.
Heyman takes the mic and goes to do grand introduction for Brock Lesnar, but Lesnar stops him and takes the mic. He went steps closer to Reigns face and introduces himself to Reigns as the reigning, defending, WWE Champion of the world. Heyman gives him props for the intro, saying it was better for him. Then, Lesnar mocks Reigns, telling him to acknowledge him.
Brock Lesnar says Reigns always has a lot to say, but Lesnar doesn’t and he got what he wanted last Saturday at Day 1, Reigns got what he wanted. Now why don’t we give everybody what they want and proposes Title vs. Title match. He tells Reigns to let’s do this. But Reigns takes a few steps back, and says it’s a good idea, but it’s not his idea. Reigns steps to Lesnar and says this is his show, and we do what he says on his time, and on top of that, Reigns doesn’t do business with people who do business with trash like Heyman.
Then, Paul Heyman asks Reigns how can he talk to him, of all the people in the world, like this? Heyman tells how helped Reigns having his title and keeping it and goes on about protecting Reigns from Lesnar, and loving him because he was his Tribal Chief. Now, Brock Lesnar interrupts and asks Heyman what he just said. Heyman says while Lesnar was gone, Reigns was all he had, and he worshipped the ground he walked on.
Brock Lesnar tells Heyman to shut up. Reigns tells Lesnar not to speak to Heyman like that. Then, Lesnar says or what? Heyman, a bit scared, asks Lesnar not to speak to Reigns like that. Lesnar yells Heyman to shut up. Reigns suddenly hits Superman Punch to Brock Lesnar and exits the ring. Lesnar looks on from the mat, and a shocked Heyman looks on. Reigns yells back at Lesnar about how the Universal Title is his.

Knoxville says he’s here to talks to management for a spot in the 30-Man Royal Rumble Match. Zayn rips him for not being qualified for what WWE Superstars do, and says he hasn’t qualified for The Rumble. Sami tells Knoxville to show him, The Elder Statesman, that he has what it takes to get in the ring if he can, but until then, stay out of everyone’s way and walks off. Knoxville grunts at him.
– Rick Boogs defeated Sami Zayn via pinfall. After the match, Zayn sits up in frustration while Boogs celebrates with Nakamura at ringside.
