WWE Friday Night SmackDown Results – 1.1.2021

 

Quick Results for January 1st, 2021

 

Happy New Year, gang! Although it’s a new year, we’ll be sure to still have the same old review of tonight’s show. So be sure check back in tomorrow.

 

 

  • Roman Reigns, Paul Heyman & Jey Uso opened the show, with Roman gloating about how great they all are. Kevin Owens interrupted & Roman told him to get lost. Owens responded that Reigns should be embarrassed that he’s still standing & then said he’s going to the back to demand a fight be booked for later between himself & Jey Uso.
  • Big E defeated King Corbin (DQ)
    Big E connected with The Big Ending & went for the pin, but Sami Zayn rushed into the ring from commentary & attacked him. Zayn, Cutler & Blake all beat up E after until Apollo Crews ran down & made the save.
  • Big E & Apollo Crews defeated Sami Zayn & King Corbin
    Corbin bailed on Zayn after the two kept arguing, which left him open for Apollo to hit him with his Spinning Powerbomb & get pinned.
  • Backstage, Owens pleaded with Adam Pearce to give him a match with Uso & he eventually agreed.
  • Big E & Apollo were interviewed in the back after their win. E said there’d be an open challenge next week for The Intercontinental Championship & Apollo quickly accepted.
  • The Riott Squad defeated Tamina & Natalya
    Billie Kay came out managing the latter team & distracted Tamina by yelling advice at her from ringside. Liv Morgan then rolled her up for the win. Billie ditched the losers & celebrated with The Riotts afterward.
  • Carmella & Bayley defeated Sasha Banks & Bianca Belair
    Carmella’s Sommelier kept getting on the apron & distracting Sasha. She eventually knocked him off, but Carmella capitalized & connected with The Mella-Buster for the win.
  • Sonya Deville was shown walking through the hallway backstage.
  • The Street Profits came to the ring for a joke segment & made predictions about 2021. Roode & Ziggler ambushed them & beat them down with chair.
  • Daniel Bryan & Otis defeated Cesaro & Shinsuke Nakamura
    Bryan tapped out Nakamura with The Yes Lock.
  • Kevin Owens defeated Jey Uso
    Uso missed a dive off the top & then Owens hit him with a Stunner to get the win. Owens handcuffed Jey to the ropes after & proceeded to keep attacking him. With Roman not coming out to save Jey, Owens uncuffed him & said he’ll bring the fight to him in the back. He pushed Jey up the ramp, then off to the side & put him on a table. He then climbed up into The Thunderdome monitors to jump off onto Jey, but Roman intercepted him. Reigns & Jey beat Owens down with chairs up there, eventually throwing Owens off & through a table as the show went off the air.
