CBS Sports was with you all night, bringing you repetitions and highlights of the night’s action. Read on for everything you need to know to get out of SmackDown.
The Roman Reigns and the Drums come face to face
Roman Reigns started the show with an in-ring promo about his “Island Re-Relence” while trying to talk about facing Randy Thornton in Survivor Series, but before he could say much, Drew I Contier’s music hit and the Ro superstar made a surprise attack Was. Brand appearance. My Container told Raines not to worry about facing Orton, as he plans to beat the next Orton in their next title match on next week’s row. During the absence of the universal champion in the early months of the epidemic, Meinthier asked to remove Raines to win the Royal Rumble, now he is the man. Before Raines and Mikinteer could fight, G. Uso ran to the ring, grabbed the microphone, and challenged Mikinteer in a match later that night. Mintier then turned to the gold mat and looked down at Rans before Raines, Uso and Paul Le Hamen left the ring. The angry kings later showed Ating beating Son, saying he was calling shots, not Uso.
Dru m I kintere def. By Jin Uso Pinfall After Claymore. Uso came to the ring with a look that seemed to be divided between intensity and fear, and Mintier scoffed at him and asked to prove himself. Uso eventually fought back, but he couldn’t match the power and speed of McIntyre, who started throwing U gold around the ring with a series of belly suplexes from Besso. The Rhine’s music hit and turned to the ring with universal champion Paul Heyman, providing a distraction that allowed Useno McIntyre to enter the ring post and the steps. “I’ll beat him,” Uso went into the ring, but Raings stopped him and said, “I don’t care if you hit him. Explain it.” So Soo landed in the ring and tried to stumble Manty Cintier, but quickly hit him with a clamor to finish. The show ended after a short hiatus between McIntyre and Rains.
There was some lightning in the starting field when both Raines and Mintier were near the peak of their respective strengths when it became clear that the two were about to come face to face. So Soo continued to fill his role as well as Laki, who didn’t know much about how to handle a cousin out of his control. But if I didn’t beat Torton on Monday, what did it mean to spend a week hyping in a match that wouldn’t happen instead of making the main event per Survivor Series a real return? Still, it’s hard to see any real problems with what was released between the two this week. Grade: B +
The Mysterio family eventually accepts Murphy
Ray Mysterio Def. Seth Rollins by pinfall in a no hold blocked match An entire Mysterio clan was out of the ring on one side, Murphy on the other, seemingly completely behind Rollins once again. Rollins hits the powerbomb with the first rope through the table arranged in the ring for a near fall. Rollins tried to turn Mysterio’s eye by pulling the rubber stopper from the foot of the chair, but Dominic Mysterio pulled him out of the ring, a distraction that hit Mysterio with a drop kick to run the chair over Rollins’ face. Murphy jumped into the ring to help him before handing the chair to Rollins. As Rollins was about to attack Mysterio, Murphy turned around and hit him with a jumping knee. As Rollins was pushing Murphy between the ropes, Mysterio tried to hit 619 but it slipped in the process, so he sprayed the frog to hit his move and win.
After the match, Mysterio asked Murphy to come into the ring. He asked Murphy if he wanted approval of Alya’s date and he shook hands. Mysterio then told Dominic to do the same, which he did. The family then embraced Murphy as he finally showed that he had been with Rollins for good. Later, Rollins approached Adam Paris and demanded that he be given a match with Murphy, saying he would destroy him.
While this is believed to be the end of the story between Mysterio and Rollins, things between Rollins and Murphy were over. The real story of the match was how many boats were made between the bricks. 619 was blown at the finish and the table powerbomb spot was getting worse when Rollins almost left Mysterio and had to go down another rope, which significantly reduced the venue, it was the biggest outbound. Also, Murphy defended Mysterios from Rollins on several occasions before this match, but this time he seems to be stuck so he can date Renee’s 19-year-old daughter? On Eddie Guerrero’s birthday Ren did nothing really work here except to break into a tribute frog. Grade: C-
