WWE Friday Night Smackdown Results – 10.23.2020

 

Quick & dirty results for October 23rd, 2020

 

Head on over here tomorrow for an (actually on time) Top-Down review of tonight’s show.

 

 

  • The KO Show had Daniel Bryan as the guest. Bryan teased a feud with Sami Zayn saying he’d like The Intercontinental Championship to be defended every week, but Owens floated the idea that the two of them team up & go for the tag titles. Ziggler & Roode, followed by The Street Profits & then Cesaro & Nakamura all interrupted, resulting in a fight between everyone.
  • Kevin Owens, Daniel Bryan & The Street Profits defeated Cesaro, Nakamura, Roode & Ziggler
    Montez Ford connected with a Frog Splash from the top on Cesaro to get the win for his team.
  • “Law & Otis” took place, the court case between Otis & Miz for the rights to The Money In The Bank Contract with JBL as the presiding judge. Miz stated that Otis was not worthy of the contract, with Otis countering that he won the MitB Match fair & square, so he should get to keep it.
  • Backstage, Zayn confronted Bryan & said his title shouldn’t be defended weekly & to stay out of his business.
  • Bianca Belair defeated Zelina Vega
    Belair hit The K.O.D. for the pin.
  • Lars Sullivan defeated Shorty G
    Sullivan squashed Gable pretty handily, getting the victory after The Freak Accident. Gable was interviewed after the match & said he quit. Backstage, Adam Pearce asked if he actually wanted to quit, & Gable said he quits being Shorty G & will be Chad Gable again from here on out.
  • Bayley came to the ring saying she won’t sign the contract for her match with Sasha Banks at Hell In A Cell. Sasha interrupted with the contract in hand & after a scuffle, Sasha put Bayley in The Banks Statement through a chair & forced her to sign.
  • Back at Law & Otis, Morrison, Rey Mysterio, Asuka & Tucker all took the witness stand & asked why or why not Otis should keep his contract. Tucker tried to start a brawl with Miz, but JBL demanded order in the court. JBL was about to rule in favor of Otis, but Miz slipped him a briefcase full of money to rule in his favor instead. JBL took the bribe & ordered at Hell In A Cell, Miz & Otis will face off with the winner keeping the MitB Briefcase.
  • Seth Rollins defeated Murphy
    After a long back & forth, Rollins finally was able to hit The Stomp. Rollins grabbed a kendo stick after & began to beat on Murphy. Aalyah Mysterio came down to the ring, covering up Murphy while Dominik followed, causing Rollins to flee. With Dominik’s back turned, Rollins attacked & Rey Mysterio ran down with a chair & chased Seth off.
  • Roman Reigns came down to the ring, but before he could start his promo, Jey Uso with a mask appeared on The Tron to say Roman had shamed their family. Jey took off his mask & revealed himself to be Jimmy, while Jey jumped Roman in the ring from behind. Jey beat Roman down & hit him with a Splash, then celebrated with Jimmy on the entrance ramp. Roman grabbed a microphone & stated that if Jey quits on Sunday, he along with Jimmy, their wives & kids are all out of the family.
