Final show before Saturday Night’s Main Event. No clue what to expect tonight.
Corey and Cole are at the desk with Mark Nash, looking after announcing duties.
Cody Rhodes is on his way to the ring, and he is not happy. Drew has filed for an unsafe work area. (WHAT, Drew went on Cody’s bus and took him out) I know it’s storyline related, but still. Just as Cole said, Cody needs to get his head in the game with facing Oba Femi at Saturday Night’s Main Event tomorrow. Cody was in mid-sentence when Oba Femi’s music started.
Tommaso Ciampa in singles action, facing Illja Dragunov for the United States Title. It’s all Ciampa working on that surgically repaired knee. Both men have a high pain tolerance, and this has been an amazing match. Illja may have a broken nose. Johnny Gargano and Candice tried to help Tommaso steal the win, but Ilja got the win. Carmelo Hayes is out to even the odds at 2 on 2.
The Wyatt Sick in the ring with Uncle Howdy. Talking to Solo Sokia and MFT
Alexa Bliss in singles action with Charlotte in her corner, facing Lash Legend with Nia Jax in her corner. Alexa never had a chance.
**MAIN EVENT — Aleister Black is facing Damien Priest/Rhea Ripley in mixed tag action. (I have read a rumour that Rhea will be moved to Smackdown for a story with Jade Cargill) That was a rough one, a little messy, but in the end, Rhea/Damien got the job done.
January 2, SmackDown returns to a 3-hour show.
The Miz is on his way to the ring, facing Ja’von Evans in singles action. Holy Cow, what a great match and a fantastic win by Evans.
Jade Cargill is facing Michin in singles. The official match never took place.
