WWE FRIDAY NIGHT SMACKDOWN RESULTS 12 16

WWE Smackdown RESULTS FOR 12-16-23

Roman Reigns returned to SmackDown Friday night and was immediately confronted by the next challenger to his Undisputed WWE Universal Championship in Randy Orton.
Orton threw down the challenge for a match at Royal Rumble, which Reigns denied, and nearly ate an RKO for his trouble.

Familiar foes Grayson Waller and former NXT champion Carmelo Hayes clashed in the latest United States Championship Contender’s Tournament Match.Hayes overcame damage to his knee, exploited by Waller, to fight his way back into the match and best his former rival with his finisher, Nothing But Net.

Kevin Owens and Austin Theory wrestled the best match of the entire contender’s tournament Friday night, with the heel focusing his attack on the broken right hand of his opponent.Owens sold mightily for Theory and mounted a comeback using every limb he could but the affected one. Ultimately, the tenacious villain determined to target Owen’s hand and expose it by ripping off the cast which ultimately doomed him as The Prizefighter rocked him with the encased hand and scored the pinfall off of it.

For the second week in a row, Bayley helped her Damage CTRL teammates to victory, this time lending an assist to Asuka and Kairi Sane as the reunited Kabuki Warriors defeated Mia Yim and Zelina Vega in tag team action.

LA Knight attacked Solo Sikoa late in Friday’s main event between Randy Orton and Jimmy Uso, preventing the enforcer’s interference in the contest and allowing The Viper to strike with an RKO for the win.A post-match beatdown led by Reigns on both babyfaces had The Bloodline looking dominant as the show neared its conclusion until AJ Styles returned, launching himself off the top rope and blasting The Tribal Chief with the Phenomenal Forearm.The show went off the air with confusion reigning supreme, though, as Styles rocked Knight and walked out on his own, leaving a battered Reigns confused. #ourconicsports #ourconic #wwesmackdown #wwe
