WWE taped tonight’s episode of SmackDown last week from Green Bay, WI at the Resch Center. You can find out the spoilers for the show below:
Santos Escobar def. Bobby Lashley to advance to the finals of the United States Championship title shot tournament, thanks to an assist from the returning Humberto Carrillo & Angel Garza.
Dragon Lee def. Butch via pinfall to retain the NXT North American championship
AJ Styles promo on wanting a shot at Roman Reigns was interrupted by Randy Orton & LA Knight. General Manager Nick Aldis settled things by booking a Styles vs. Orton vs. Knight Triple Threat for the “New Year’s Revolution” episode of SmackDown (possibly Dec. 29, although a taping isn’t on the company’s schedule for that Friday (two house shows are) so it could also be Jan. 5). The winner of that match gets Reigns at Royal Rumble.
Bianca Belair, Zelina Vega, Mia “Michin” Yim & Shotzi def. Damage CTRL in what sounds like the night’s Christmas-themed match. Isla Dawn & Alba Fyre attacked Kairi Sane during the match.
Kevin Owens def. Carmelo Hayes to advance to the finals of the United States Championship title shot tournament. KO “showed respect” to Hayes after the win.
AJ Styles def. Solo Sikoa via disqualification after Roman attacked AJ. Orton, Knight & Jimmy Uso got involved for a show-closing brawl that ended with LA standing tall
