Nick Aldis With A Message To Kevin Owens

After a recap of the post-match attack from Kevin Owens to Cody Rhodes from WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event kicks off this week’s show. We then shoot to Nick Aldis, who informs Owens he has until the end of tonight’s show to return to the Winged Eagle WWE title, or there will be consequences.

Bianca Belair, Naomi & Bayley vs. Nia Jax, Tiffany Stratton & Candice LeRae

Backstage, Bianca Belair and Naomi are interviewed about being the women’s tag champs and then Bayley is introduced as their partner for tonight’s opening contest. Belair’s catchy-ass entrance tune plays and the three head to the ring.

Michael Cole and Corey Graves welcome us to the final SmackDown of 2024 as the babyface trio settle in the ring. Nia Jax and her partners, Tiffany Stratton and Candice LeRae, make their way out next. Nia Jax cuts a promo blaming Naomi on the mystery attack of Jade Cargill.

The bell rings and Stratton and Belair start the match. Belair gets Stratton on the mat and Stratton counters out and gets Belair on the mat. Belair slams Stratton and Stratton rolls out of the ring. Belair, Naomi, and Bayley take out all three women outside as we head into a mid-match commercial break.

When we return, we see Jax dominating the action, taking it to Naomi before tagging in LeRae to pick up where she left off. Belair is tagged in and Naomi and Belair hit a double stalled suplex on LeRae. LeRae is covered for a near fall and LeRae scurries to the corner and Belair slams her into the corner.

Jax is tagged in and she leg drops onto Belair for a near fall. LeRae is tagged in and hits a missile drop kick and Stratton hits an elbow off the top rope as she blind tagged herself.

Jax chokes Bayley against the ropes and LeRae is tagged in. Bayley beats on LeRae on the arpon and LeRae slams Bayley face first on the apron.

On that note, the show shifts into another mid-match commercial break as the action continues. When we return, Jax is down and out and Stratton grabs her briefcase and teases cashing in. Instead, things implode and we see Naomi help her team get the win.

Winners: Bianca Belair, Naomi & Bayley

Nick Aldis Backstage With Sami Zayn, Waller & Theory

Backstage, we head inside the office of SmackDown G.M. Nick Aldis, where we see Grayson Waller and Austin Theory complaining about something. Waller gets mad when Aldis brushes them off to talk to Sami Zayn, who walks in.

Zayn tells Aldis, “We should talk.” We shift into a Raw on Netflix promo, a WWE Shop holiday ad and then another commercial break. When we return, Zayn is talking to Aldis about The Bloodline when Carmelo Hayes walks in. The two have words and a Zayn-Hayes match is made for later tonight.

Braun Strowman vs. Austin Theory

“One Big S.O.B.” Braun Strowman comes out, without his Santa gear this week, and settles inside the squared circle for our next match of the evening. Austin Theory comes out accompanied by Grayson Waller for the one-on-one contest.

The bell sounds and off we go. Theory nearly lifts Strowman up for a big spot but Strowman elbows his way free and launches Theory half-way across the ring. Theory rolls out next to Waller to re-group as the show heads into a mid-match commercial break as the action continues.

When we return, we see Theory in control but Strowman dropkicks him out to the floor and begins taking over. He hits a big power spot and heads to the top-rope. Waller tries getting involved but Strowman shucks him off. Strowman escapes an A-Town Down from Theory and hits a powerslam for the win.

Winner: Braun Strowman

Chelsea Green’s Women’s U.S. Championship Celebration

We are shown footage of Chelsea Green’s history-making win at WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event to become the first-ever WWE Women’s United States Champion. Her Women’s U.S. Championship Celebration is up next. We head to another commercial break.

When we return, Kevin Owens responds to Aldis’ ultimatum from his car. He schedules an in-ring meeting between just the two of them for later tonight.

We see the ring set up as if a President State of the Union Address was about to happen. Piper Niven, dressed to the nines, introduces the first-ever WWE Women’s U.S. Champion. Chelsea Green comes out dressed like the Statue of Liberty.

Green boasts for what feels like an eternity about essentially nothing until Michin emerges with a thick kendo stick. She vows to introduce Green to her little friend and goes to do so. Niven tries stopping her but gets beat down. Michin beats down Green, who begs off. Niven carries Green to safety.

The Street Profits vs. Los Garza

We see DIY walking backstage and is confronted by Nick Aldis, The Street Profits and B-Fab. Aldis asks them who attacked The Profits, and they say they don’t know.

Pretty Deadly is called by because they say they were witnesses. Pretty Deadly dodge the question and put the blame on Garza. Profits asks them if they’re sure and go after Garza.

The Profits attack Berto and Garza and Aldis tells them to settle it in the ring. On that note, we shift gears and head into a quick pre-match commercial break. When we return, Ford is working over Berto in the ring, as the match is in progress.

We see some back-and-forth action and then head into a mid-match commercial time out. This time when the show returns, we work our way to the match finish, which sees the Profits pick up the “W.”

Winners: The Street Profits

Sami Zayn vs. Carmelo Hayes

A video package airs where Andrade announces he is coming after Shinsuke Nakamura and the WWE United States Championship. After it wraps up, we shoot backstage where DIY ask Pretty Deadly why they covered for them.

They decide they will each have each other’s backs. Pretty Deadly keeps walking and runs into The Street Profits, who thank them for telling them about Los Garza.

Apollo Crews comes up and tells the Profits that Pretty Deadly and DIY are playing them, and that it was, in fact, DIY, who attacked them weeks ago. After this wraps up, we head to another commercial break.

Two matches are announced for next week’s first three-hour episode of WWE SmackDown. Those are Nia Jax vs. Naomi for the title and Shinsuke Nakamura vs. Andrade.

Now we head to the ring for our final match of the evening, with Owens and Aldis’ meeting still to come. Sami Zayn’s theme hits and he makes his way to the ring. Carmelo Hayes comes out and the bell sounds. After a minute of action, we head to a mid-match break.

As we settle back in from the commercials, we see Hayes slam Zayn against the turnbuckle. Zayn slams Hayes’ head into the turnbuckles as well but Hayes gets him caught up on the ropes. Hayes hits a springboard splash and covers for two. Hayes stomps on Zayn and gives him a series of punches.

Hayes punches Zayn somewhere and flexes. Zayn gets on his feet but is met with punches by Hayes. Zayn blocks a punch and attacks Hayes and gets him down with a clothesline. Zayn connects with an elbow and a double axe handle off the middle rope. Zayn catches Hayes and hits a Blue Thunder Bomb for a near fall. Zayn gets on the top rope and Hayes runs up and meets him on the top rope. Zayn knocks Hayes down and misses a splash.

Hayes hits Zayn and covers for two. Hayes hits a springboard stunner and goes up to hit Nothing but Net but jumps into a clothesline by Zayn. Zayn punches Hayes in the corner and hits an exploder into the corner on Hayes. Zayn tries for the Helluva kick but Hayes rolls out of the ring and starts walking to the back and Braun Strowman chases Hayes away.

Meanwhile, in the ring, Jacob Fatu, Tama Tonga, and Solo Sikoa come in and start attacking Sami Zayn. Zayn tries fighting back but is taken down by Sikoa. Strowman comes back out and takes out Tama Tonga and stares down Sikoa in the ring. Sikoa and Strowman start fighting and Strowman flattens Sikoa leaving Fatu in the ring with Strowman.

Tama Tonga comes from behind and takes out his knees and The New Bloodline take out Strowman. Zayn attacks Sikoa and officials now run down to get things under control. They continue to beat up Zayn and pose in the ring.

Winner: No Contest

SmackDown G.M. Nick Aldis Meets With Kevin Owens

It’s main event (segment time)!

As the chaos wraps up in the ring, where Nick Aldis is among the officials trying to break up the madness, Kevin Owens’ theme music hits. “The Prize Fighter” emerges and begins making his way to the ring with the Winged Eagle Championship.

On that note, the show heads into the final commercial break of the evening. When we return, Owens refuses to give up the title without getting something in return. He says it’s his only bargaining chip. He demands a rematch where it is fair. “Give me my rematch! I had Cody Rhodes beat. He knows it. You know it. Everyone knows it!”

Aldis says he already made it clear this isn’t a negotiation. He says hand the title belt over now or you’ll never step foot in a WWE ring again. Before Owens can respond, the theme for Cody Rhodes hits and out comes “The American Nightmare” for the first time since WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event.

Cody begins to speak but Aldis stops him and says for his health please walk away. Cody refuses. He says he also doesn’t want Owens to simply hand the title back. Cody goes on to talk about his issues with Owens and makes it clear they aren’t friends any longer.

He wants a match with Owens, too. He wants one where it’s fair and no one can stop what he’s going to do to him. A title unification ladder match is announced for WWE Royal Rumble 2025. Owens goes to shake Cody’s hand after Aldis confirms the match. Cody doesn’t budge. Owens says “Ok” and drops the mic and then shoves Aldis into Cody.

He blasts Cody with one cheap shot and raises his Winged Eagle title high in the air before putting the pink sneakers to Cody a few times on the way out. Officials rush to check on Cody as Owens smacks his own title belt into his face over and over again like The Sandman with a beer can. “I’m the real champion. I’ll see you at the Rumble, b*tch!” Owens shouts out. That’s how this week’s show goes off the air. Thanks for joining us!
