SmackDown - 2025.12.19 | Highlights
Transcript
00:00We were forced to say goodbye to the career of John Cena.
00:22I can't tell you how much I agree with that emotion, who inspired so many.
00:28He is the greatest of all time.
00:31We say thank you, Cena.
00:36Now let's talk about some good times when Zelina, Alistair got their asses dropped.
00:43We can look to 2026.
00:45You are such a hypocrite.
00:50And you call that salvation?
00:52You just can't stand the fact Alistair broke you.
00:57Oh, Alistair Black.
00:59Betted by Zelina by the Punisher, Damian Priest.
01:02Massive right hand delivered.
01:05Oh, big knee.
01:06For once again, this is one dangerous man, but a driven south of heaven.
01:11Onto the apron.
01:12Oh, Priest.
01:13Oh.
01:14This crowd is going to explode.
01:17Finisher, Black problem off for good.
01:20Yes.
01:21Oh, Black is back to his feet with a steel chair.
01:23Oh.
01:24Right across the back.
01:26But here we go.
01:27No.
01:28Right into the post.
01:29So we scramble this.
01:30Oh.
01:31My.
01:32As Damian Priest, who got jumped tonight by Alistair Black and Zelina.
01:38Flowers and congratulate you on the upset victory over Alexa.
01:44She clearly beat Alexa Bliss Handily.
01:46And no matter how great little Lexi is, because I was whooping her little tail all up and down
01:52that ring.
01:53And now that we're done with Lexi and Charlotte, we're moving on.
01:56Rhea Ripley and Io Sky do have an upcoming tag team title opportunity.
01:59As you got to point out, it doesn't matter who all of a sudden wants to become best friends.
02:05It's about the irresistible force and the bougie bully now.
02:08Coming after those tag team titles.
02:10Uh.
02:11Lash and I are giving rapping paper.
02:14The Women's Tag Team Champions.
02:18The Friday Night SmackDown.
02:25I'm here, right?
02:26Yeah, yeah.
02:27I'll be fine now.
02:28Go!
02:29Go!
02:30Stay away!
02:31Stay away!
02:32Stay away!
02:33Stay away!
02:34No!
02:35No!
02:36No!
02:37It's time for you to end this.
02:39No!
02:40No!
02:41No!
02:42No!
02:43Get off of here!
02:44Hey!
02:45Get out of here!
02:46Get out of here!
02:47Rhea and Io again tonight.
02:48A far different challenge.
02:49Last night change.
02:50Instantly weighed as dangerous a pairing as the women's division can have in the former
02:54college and pro basketball stars.
02:56Survivor Series War Games.
02:58Now, Joe Tessitore in for Michael Cole and Corey Graves here on SmackDown.
03:04Doing everything in there.
03:05Power to with that argument.
03:08Legend coming in looking for that.
03:09Gets chops down from behind by Kairi Sane.
03:12It's the second time around against Kairi Sane using power to advantage but denied.
03:16Kairi Sane highly beneficial in the early cards.
03:19Oh my!
03:20Oh my!
03:21Oh!
03:22And with that tag it does not get any easier.
03:24For Nadia Jax to squash in the corner.
03:27Oh!
03:28And then Legend!
03:29Jax were instrumental in the Kabuki Warriors first place several weeks ago.
03:33We're in that opportunity now, perhaps.
03:35The teamwork from Asuka.
03:36Yeah, taking the Kabuki Warriors lightly is quite enough to stop Asuka in her stride.
03:42Oh!
03:43Of the Empress of Tomorrow.
03:45Big boot though.
03:46Opportunity for Asuka.
03:47Change now though.
03:49Double drop kick.
03:50Incredibly lenient.
03:52Here comes Asuka!
03:53Up top!
03:54Out to the floor!
03:56Okay, so big, so strong, so tough.
04:00And all the veteran experience of Jax is now getting passed on.
04:04And those people, if they're tough enough, they'll make their way.
04:07She is explosive.
04:08She is tough.
04:09And it's Nia just...
04:10She's not gonna waste her time with people who simply won't cut.
04:13Zack the right spot to find out where...
04:15Oh!
04:16But Kairi Sane pulling out a tag.
04:19Is...
04:21One of the best to ever do it.
04:23We're not ready for Asuka.
04:25Oh!
04:26It is locked in!
04:27The drop is Jax.
04:29And instead, Asuka.
04:30Back elbow completely rocking.
04:33Powering away out of it though is Lash Legend.
04:36That changes the night of the Kabuki Warriors perhaps.
04:39Might have to do it on the right now.
04:40Right into the post.
04:42Sensing it is Lash Legend.
04:44And now Nia Jax is going...
04:49What a scramble.
04:50These two are not legal, but the...
04:53Off the apron does damage.
04:55Oh, but instead...
04:56Oh!
04:57What may well be the end!
04:59Looking for the Annihilator and delivering!
05:01One!
05:02Three!
05:03And just like that!
05:05While the tag champs, the Kabuki Warriors have a date with Desk.
05:09Charlotte and Alexa heading straight.
05:13Out here now focusing on the winners.
05:16Right to Lash Legend when they met up.
05:18Alexa Bliss.
05:19The gold is in large part because of this.
05:22For good again.
05:24As we go backstage.
05:29But over here on SmackDown, if you want to address my client, you have to go through me first.
05:33I'm sorry.
05:34I don't normally do this show.
05:36Can I please speak with your client, Julia?
05:38But don't make this mistake again.
05:40You've made it aggressively clear that you want that Women's United States Championship.
05:45But Chelsea Green making you go through Alba Fire in a match tonight.
05:49It's the women's US title.
05:51I will take out Alba Fire.
05:53Chelsea.
05:54Time is running now.
05:56Arrivederci.
05:57Matana.
05:58Matana.
05:59And Drew McIntyre's home this past week.
06:02That's Ness.
06:03So I brought you guys with me here today.
06:07Document everything because unfortunately it's come to this.
06:10I have to make sure I catch everything because there's no way of knowing what Drew will misrepresent if I don't.
06:15Thank you for inviting me into your home.
06:17You're welcome.
06:18Out of respect and in the interest of good faith.
06:21And given the stunt you pulled in DC, Cody wants you reinstated.
06:25We all want you reinstated.
06:26You're a top talent in WWE, obviously.
06:29I have a proposal.
06:30You get a one-on-one match with WWE Champion Cody Rhodes.
06:34Apology to Dan Engler for that heinous attack.
06:38There's also a hefty fine.
06:40Payday from Survivor Series War Games to just about cover that.
06:44So those are the terms.
06:46Take it or leave it.
06:49No.
06:50No.
06:51This is what Cody wants.
06:52So no.
06:53I don't accept your terms.
06:54Fair.
06:55Fair.
06:56That's it.
06:57I want to pick the stipulation.
07:00I want you to get your little lawyers together.
07:02Cody Rhodes cannot lay one finger on me.
07:06Get the match in the ring.
07:09You got a deal.
07:12Pleasure doing business with you, buddy.
07:14Oh, come on, man.
07:15You've got to be kidding me.
07:17Really, Aldis.
07:18You set me up like this.
07:20You come to top base.
07:21I'll handle it.
07:22He's out there right now.
07:23I'll handle it.
07:24Handle it.
07:25I'll handle it.
07:26What are you negotiating with?
07:27What are you doing?
07:28What's the diplomacy about?
07:29Why are you here?
07:30What am I willing to do?
07:31Are you seriously going to show up at my damn property?
07:42Legal letters.
07:43I'm hiring extra security.
07:44Ava's pissed off because her champion's big night got ruined.
07:46While there's no love lost right now, I tell it like it is when it comes to Cody.
07:50Because what he did was completely out of line.
07:52So it's up to local authorities what happens to Cody from here on out.
07:55And Drew has sent in some comments.
07:57Mr. Aldis.
07:59Do you know why everyone was shocked at Saturday night's main event?
08:02Because he who should not be named ruined it.
08:04And I want to match with him.
08:06Oh, you mean Carmelo Hayes?
08:07No.
08:08Not Carmelo.
08:09But no, you know who I'm talking about.
08:10I'm just kidding.
08:11I know you mean Joe.
08:12Don't say his name.
08:13But yes, that guy, I want to match next week.
08:16Let me give Ava a call and hopefully if she's calmed down some, she'll see to it.
08:20Say his name.
08:21I believe in Joe Pesci.
08:26He's just mad because I saw your British balls.
08:31Julia!
08:36Julia and Alma Fire on Friday Night SmackDown.
08:42To the former women's U.S. champ, Kiana James.
08:46Not sat well with her that she easier said than done.
08:49This is a Alba Fire who is a...
08:52...wonder when it's your first match of a championship.
08:55That is the case here on the attack because this is her first match.
08:59It looks like payback is now.
09:01She has a certain time.
09:03She is coming out red hot here as Julia.
09:06I forgot what it's like to call a match for the eardrums.
09:09We need to get her on the desk.
09:11Oh, that's tough. Let's see. That's exactly...
09:13...result of the problem. You simply cannot do that again.
09:16There you go DDT.
09:18One, two, three, four.
09:19Come on. We make a lot of talk about...
09:21...of Alba Fire who was...
09:22Oh!
09:23...madness and fury.
09:25And this could be a short night.
09:27Those hammer elbows right into the pinning combination and then reverse this time.
09:31Fire able to escape.
09:34Delivers the kick.
09:35Perhaps going back to the face buster but...
09:38...reversed.
09:39Oh!
09:41Oh!
09:42Arrivederci!
09:43It can do...
09:44Julia putting a little something extra into it!
09:46One, two, three...
09:48As she stares at Chelsea Green and doing it.
09:51A physical message.
09:54Her first match since losing the women.
09:57The American Nightmare joins us live.
10:01Listen closely, Solo.
10:07Your greed for status and power have led you down.
10:13The truth lies beneath the surface.
10:15And this image you portray...
10:17...there will be nowhere for you to run.
10:20It's there!
10:21No one will have it.
10:22No one will have it.
10:26Shit.
10:27Steve has moved now.
10:28The Royal Family.
10:38Post-show afterwards.
10:39Now, all the drama...
10:41Uncharacteristic.
10:42Heuristic, and I would say unbecoming, Drew McIntyre firmly under the skin of the champion.
10:51Hershey PA!
10:53What do you want to talk about?
10:54Did a member of law enforcement get thrown into the water?
10:57Did things get physical?
10:59He said that are an unsafe working environment.
11:03So Drew, you are surrounded.
11:05What would be a safe environment for you?
11:09Staples?
11:09Or the company, is when you showed up at his house and started a brawl, I had to make a bad deal.
11:16So I'm telling you this is your friend, but you're not above the law, and I can't help you.
11:22If he pays the fine, public apology to Dan Engler, you can't lay a finger.
11:28Or I have to strip you of the WWE Championship.
11:34Okay, I can guarantee you that I will not touch Drew McIntyre.
11:39In the spirit of all these demands, I should ask you something.
11:43I feel like you've forgotten who you're talking to.
11:45I'm the one who came back here and run the Royal Rumble not once, but twice.
11:49Seated the Tribal Chief, Roman Reigns, and I even defeated John Cena for this title.
11:55I'm QB1, damn it.
11:58I am the law.
12:00I don't work for you.
12:02You work for me.
12:05WWE champ, the man who changed the game.
12:09I'm not usually the type of person who settles for others.
12:13Being the United States champion, usually people come out and settle for me, but after what you did for me last week, I just wanted to say thank you.
12:20Don't even mention it.
12:22All right, Tommaso screwed me out of that championship, so I had to go and get it back in blood.
12:25Plus, all that jumping people from behind, you know I don't play that.
12:28Not anymore.
12:29Not anymore.
12:30Tonight, we fight DIY.
12:33We put them down.
12:35Well, we just wanted to wish you good luck tonight, but do us a favor, okay?
12:39Yeah, we kind of want to DIY ourselves, but I don't know, I guess you guys jumped the queue or something.
12:45What we're saying is that they stole my mask.
12:47Look, you're talking to the wrong two guys.
12:49We won't miss.
12:54It's a tag team match.
12:56Ticket for one call.
12:57D-Pi-Y.
13:05Whoa!
13:07Whoa!
13:08Whoa!
13:15Well, the Mad Dragon weight has kept up the great standards of the U.S. champion.
13:21Oh, right to action, not wasting any time.
13:24Against Johnny Gargano.
13:25Well, Hayes and Dragunov just...
13:27It is non-stop.
13:31There, United States Championship clash.
13:34He goes to war every single week.
13:37Opportunity.
13:37Highly distraught that it went begging.
13:39...that engine and delivering with the leg drop.
13:42It's Ilya Dragunov.
13:43We're close to winning the thing.
13:44Ilya Dragunov end up winning the match that he won in such a way.
13:48So maybe at some point.
13:49Mentioned it goes against the grain of everything he is.
13:52Oh, up on the apron to tear him down.
13:55Oh, no!
13:57Pack team action between these four former NXT champions.
14:01And they've been putting a stomping.
14:03Is he ever.
14:07Hayes is ready to explode.
14:09Oh, man, oh, man, springboard.
14:13Would you look at this from Hayes.
14:15La Mystica.
14:16I'm going to tell you something.
14:18The movement to everyone else on planet.
14:20Oh, my God.
14:21The Mad Dragon.
14:26That high.
14:26An almost unbeatable United States Ciampa time.
14:30Oh, they got him in a compromised position in that corner.
14:33Oh, nasty, nasty landing there.
14:36Off the front.
14:37Ciampa right into the cover.
14:38And meanwhile, the Mad Dragon safe.
14:40Spilling out all over the place.
14:41Oh, right into the post.
14:42It's Ciampa.
14:45Oh, Candice LeRae.
14:46Again, LeRae in.
14:49Hayes able to get the shoulder up.
14:52And now the double whammy.
14:55Fairytale ending.
14:56He survives it again.
14:59Over right here from DIY.
15:01Oh, no.
15:02How about at first 48?
15:04So many swings.
15:06H-Bomb delivered.
15:09Nothing but net goal.
15:14State champion, Ihea.
15:18A glorious victory for Elia Dragunov.
15:21Can I get a comment on why you guys attack Nia Jax and Lash Legend?
15:25What message are you trying to send?
15:27The message that if you look too far in the future,
15:29you tend to forget who's standing right in front of you.
15:36Actually, Jade.
15:37Jade.
15:37Is there anything you'd like to say about attacking Meechan last week?
15:40So I guess I'll say something nice.
15:42I was shocked to see Meechan get back up after I knocked her down.
15:45They gonna take these L's.
15:47Now, I'm big on charity, so I'm gonna give her a little spotlight.
15:51I'm gonna knock her lights out.
15:52We done?
15:52Can they deliver?
16:05We find out on Friday Night SmackDown.
16:08Well, that is how he likes it.
16:10The United States Championship will be on the line.
16:12And just say his name.
16:14Don't say it.
16:15Don't say it.
16:15Drew McIntyre returns to SmackDown next week.
16:21You talk a whole lot of nonsense about absolutely nothing.
16:25But when you threaten my family, that's when we got a problem.
16:29You think this is a game, huh?
16:31When it comes to my family, I don't play no damn games.
16:33We are going to humiliate you, embarrass you in front of the whole wide world.
16:39You hear that?
16:41Can you hear that?
16:42The Fireflies are here.
16:44And they are going to watch us take those tag titles.
16:49Because whether they like it or not, I've got the whole world in my hands.
16:56Well, that is one way to get under the skin of Uncle Howdy.
17:04The M.M.T.
17:08WWE Tag Team Championship match.
17:12Dominic Mysterio will be in action.
17:13El Grande.
17:14The M.M.T.
17:44We have a new one.
17:44And these M.M.T.s are a major league.
17:48Yeah, that's a euphemism for a lot of other things we could say, isn't it?
17:52Six in that ring.
17:53They are Joe Gacy, a major powerhouse in his own right.
17:56Hardcore style of wrestler from Tonga Loa.
18:00And of course, the powerhouse is now into some action.
18:04It was the first piece of Solo Toccoa's rebuild.
18:07Stating ever since, just a ball of muscle.
18:10From the Wyatt Six in action here.
18:12The Tag Team Champions.
18:14That's what you get.
18:16Shadowed by the massive presence of talent.
18:19Tonga is charging.
18:20Oh, man.
18:21Look at this.
18:22Look at the power.
18:23Oh, right into the post and then throw.
18:26Going to walk out as the new champions over the Wyatt Six.
18:29Of the Wyatt Six as the Tag Team Championships.
18:33Who've looked completely dominant since getting the upper hand.
18:35Both teams know they better win this thing.
18:38Solo Toccoa's been very outspoken.
18:40Well, this could be the first piece of the puzzle.
18:43Right to the cover of Matteo.
18:46Matteo is just a human battering.
18:48When the massive Tonga Loa gets in there.
18:51Look at him.
18:52Cave in the rib cave.
18:53They should be in his clutches by now.
18:55As he was just about to get to Joe Gacy.
18:58Look out.
18:59Here he comes.
19:00Two, I'll try and focus on the match.
19:02Look at Gacy.
19:03He's around.
19:05Oh, and showing you a grit.
19:08Oh, but cannot attempt.
19:10Oh.
19:12Matteo, the former Olympian.
19:14Gacy at his best.
19:16Joe Gacy.
19:17And now it's about to take two Tonga Loa.
19:19This guy can do some crazy stuff.
19:21Like that.
19:22Solo Toccoa said.
19:25Could go the other way.
19:26It's got a fly wave.
19:28This to hold on to go.
19:30And the save.
19:33Oh, no.
19:34And that's behind the referees back.
19:36Keep your eyes open though.
19:37Rowan takes him out.
19:38It is on on the floor.
19:41No one sent you.
19:42Mass of Eric Rowan.
19:43Oh, no.
19:44Uncle Howdy's in the mix.
19:45Oh, my God.
19:45It is an off.
19:46And the Wyatt Six.
19:48This one's thrown out.
19:50Right, police.
19:51This is out of control, Barrett.
19:53Tola Tonga was out.
19:55And Big Rowan said.
19:56Oh, a cross-body wipeout.
20:03We got a monster.
20:06Piece of it.
20:08It's out of a damn mind.
20:09That's why.
20:10A Nicky Bomb.
20:13Oh, Big Spikes.
20:15A Samoan Spike.
20:18Who's there?
20:19Sister Abigail.
20:21Oh, Wyatt Six.
20:24Absolutely wild.
20:26You're welcome.
20:31Bye.
20:35ebeest.
