WWE Friday Night SmackDown Full Results
Cody Rhodes and The Bloodline segment
• Tonight’s WWE SmackDown opened by the Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes. He talks about his match against Kevin Owens at Bash In Berlin and gives props to Owens. He then points to The Bloodline and calls out to them. The Bloodline makes their way out.
Solo Sikoa talks about his last title match against Cody and how Roman Reigns ruined it. Then, Cody Rhodes brings up the title match being on next week’s SmackDown premiere and offers the title shot to Jacob Fatu but he denies. Then, Solo Sikoa says he will challenge Cody Rhodes for the title next week and The Bloodline tries to attack Cody Rhodes but DIY and The Street Profits come out to save.
Nick Aldis appears and says that The Bloodline vs DIY and Street Profit will happen tonight on the main event not now. He also announces that Cody Rhodes will defend his undisputed WWE title against Solo Sikoa in next week’s SmackDown in a steel cage match.
• Pretty Deadly tries to hype up Tiffany Stratton ahead of her match with Bayley. They also take time to promote their upcoming musicals. Nia Jax joins the conversation. The whole locker room is talking about how Tiffany was thinking about cashing in her MITB Briefcase, which is so stupid according to Nia.
Tiffany says that she wouldn’t do that to her queen. She just wanted to help Nia. Chelsea Green is the one who continues to push that narrative. She’s jealous of their friendship. Nia knows that Tiffany would never lie to her. Nia would like to return the favor and help Tiffany during her match.
First Match
• Bayley defeated Tiffany Stratton by pinfall in a singles match
• Kevin Owens runs into A-Town Down Under in the backstage area. Austin Theory implies that Kevin is a loser just like the Edmonton Oilers. The only way Kevin can get a championship is buying one on WWEShop.com. Maybe Kevin proved himself right at Bash In Berlin. He wasn’t out there to help Cody Rhodes with The Bloodline. Maybe they’re no longer friends.
Kevin says that Waller and Theory are both stupid. Second of all, they’re morons. A-Town Down Under are in a good page, right? Kevin had a good idea. Certainly, Waller and Theory wouldn’t have a problem competing against each other. Here’s the idea, Owens versus Waller vs. Theory. As Wayne Gretzky would say, tonight is a good night for a Triple Threat. Kevin snatches the replica Oilers Title away from Waller, and he’s going to see if Nick Aldis will make this match official. Theory tells Waller that he has nothing to worry about.
• Legado Del Fantasma Vignette.
Second Match
• Apollo Crews defeated Giovanni Vinci by pinfall.
• We went back to Nick Aldis’ office as Chelsea Green started complaining about how she was being treated at NXT this week. She pokes fun at Nick’s pocket square. Michin joins the conversation. Chelsea says that it’s fitting that Michin lost her match last week, since she also resembles trash. Michin says that she’s ready to whoop that pancake, right now. Maybe that’s what she’s asking for. Nick actually agrees with Michin and makes the match official.
• We got a video package highlighting the best moments of SmackDown as this is the final broadcast on FOX.
Third Match
• Kevin Owens defeated Austin Theory and Grayson Waller by pinfall in a triple threat match. After the match, Austin Theory and Grayson Waller attacked Kevin Owens.
LA Knight, Carmelo Hayes, Andrade El Idolo Segment
• LA Knight makes his way to the ring. He talks about his US Title reigns and two successful defenses in over 30 days. He also points out that he’s looking for his next challenger for the title. Carmelo Hayes interrupts LA Knight. Hayes says he’s the worthy contender for the title and he’s next in line. Andrade interrupts them and says he beat Hayes twice but Hayes reminds he beat Andrade also twice.
LA Knight interrupts them and says you both beat each other twice. But if you guys want to fight over who’s going to get dropped on their head next by me, then go ahead and be my guess. It doesn’t make a difference to me.
Andrade shoves Melo into Knight. Melo avoids The Discus Elbow. Knight hits The BFT. Melo talks smack to Andrade. Knight plants Melo with The BFT to close this segment.
• A-Town Down Under tells Nick Aldis that they want to have a tag team match next week against Kevin Owens and a partner of his choosing.
Fourth Match
• Chelsea Green w/Piper Niven defeated Michin by pinfall.
Fifth Match
• The Bloodline defeated The Street Profits & DIY w/B-Fab in a 8-Man Tag Team Match.
