Quick Results For January 15th, 2021

 

Be sure to swing on by here tomorrow & we’ll have a Top-Down review of tonight’s episode.

 

 

  • Jey Uso opened the show to declare himself for The Royal Rumble & he’ll go to RAW when he wins to take their title so he & Roman will rule all of WWE. Shinsuke Nakamura interrupted & mocked Jey, kicking him in the head as he tried to attack him ahead of their match.
  • Shinsuke Nakamura defeated Jey Uso
    Jey put his feet on the ropes while trying to pin Nak, but the referee caught him & waived off the attempt. As Uso argued, Nakamura threw him down from behind then hit him with a Kinshasa for the victory.
  • Backstage, Paul Heyman amended the contract for The Universal Championship Match between Roman Reigns & Adam Pearce to include no disqualifications. Pearce agreed & signed off on it. Heyman returned it to Roman & said he didn’t want no DQ, but a Last Man Standing stipulation instead, then told Heyman to tell Pearce they’ll sign off on it together later in the ring tonight.
  • Natalya defeated Liv Morgan
    Billie Kay came out with The Riotts as part of their group now. She started arguing with Tamina on the outside & ran through the ring. This distracted Liv & Natalya capitalized with a roll-up.
  • King Corbin defeated Rey Mysterio
    Dominik Mysterio was on commentary & Corbin trash talked him on the outside then punched him in the face. Rey hit Corbin with a 6-1-9 as he returned to the ring, but Dom followed him in to get even. Rey yelled at him to get out & as he turned around, Corbin caught him with an End Of Days & the pin.
  • Bayley hosted the first edition of “The Ding Dong, Hello Show” & had Bianca Belair as her guest. Bayley questioned how Bianca could be the best in WWE when she lost to Bayley weeks ago. Bayley then challenged her to an obstacle course next week to see who the better athlete is.
  • Cesaro defeated Daniel Bryan
    Cesaro caught Bryan with a pop-up European Uppercut & then followed up with The Neutralizer for the pin.
  • Carmella was interviewed in the back & started trashing Sasha Banks. Banks interrupted & said she’d give her a rematch for The SmackDown’s Women’s Championship if Reginald The Sommelier agreed to have a match against Sasha first.
  • Apollo Crews defeated Sami Zayn
    Zayn went for a Helluva Kick, but Crews ducked & rolled Zayn up with a handful of tights for the win. Big E vs Crews for The Intercontinental Championship was announced after for next week.
  • Reigns, Uso, Heyman & Pearce all came down to the ring for the contract signing. Both men signed & Pearce left the ring but began limping as he went up the ramp. He said that he didn’t think he’d be medically able to compete & as a WWE official, has the right to find someone to take his place. He then brought Kevin Owens out & had him sign the contract over his name, meaning Reigns will face Owens at The Royal Rumble in a Last Man Standing Match.
