SmackDown Live

SmackDown opens with Charlotte coming out to explain her actions. Someone from the crowd yells "Thank you" and she says they should be thanking her because she beat down the so-called baddest woman on the planet. 

Charlotte is happy with what she did to Rousey, but her smile goes away when Paige's music hits and she comes out on the stage. The GM surprisingly reveals she enjoyed watching what Charlotte did to Ronda. Flair says she is more than willing to do the same thing at TLC and Paige fines Charlotte for touching refs at Survivor Series and before long, Billie Kay and Peyton Royce come to the ring. 

The IIconics mock Flair and she threatens to make one of them the next Ronda Rousey by beating them up.

Charlotte Flair vs. Billie Kay

Charlotte Flair won 


Charlotte gets on the mic asking Peyton for a match. 

Charlotte vs. Peyton Royce Billie Kay comes in and attacks Charlotte to cause a DQ. The IIconics beat her down as the crowd chants for Becky to make the save. Flair proves she doesn't need help when she lays out both women with a single spear. She slams Kay and Royce's head into the announce table several times. She drills Kay with a running knee to the face and whips Royce into the steel steps. She throws both women over the announce table and then clears it off. 

After Flair poses on top of the table, Rey Mysterio gives a promo from backstage directed at Randy Orton.

A Miz is Awesome chant breaks out as The Miz comes out for his talk show. He says it's good to be home and welcomes everyone to MizTV. He says it was an honor to fight alongside Shane McMahon and brings him out for an interview. The Miz tries to position himself as being just as heroic as Shane despite not doing nearly as much as he did at Survivor Series. The Miz asks Shane to be his tag team partner. The Miz brings out two jobbers to face Shane and himself. 

The Miz and Shane McMahon vs. Bryant Brothers 
Bryant Brothers won and Miz was stunned.

The New Day says they are proud of their victory at Survivor Series and bring up how mad they are that it didn't count for some weird reason. Woods makes a few video game references and Big E makes a cheap joke about turkey breasts.

 The Bar  vs. The New Day 

Big E hits Sheamus with a turkey for the pin and the win 

Asuka and Naomi vs. Sonya Deville and Mandy Rose

 Asuka and Naomi won 

Bryan comes out after the break and says the only time he has betrayed someone was three years ago when he announced his retirement. He says he doesn't accept failure and he has realized that he should only be fighting for himself. Bryan says spending three hours each day in a hyperbaric chamber allowed him to see the truth. He says the people who cheered his return weren't there for the struggle he went through. Bryan calls the WWE Universe fickle because the Yes chant grew quieter every week.

Bryan says he won at Survivor Series because he allowed Brock Lesnar to beat the weakness out of him. As Bryan prepares to leave, he forces the announcer to call him the new Daniel Bryan. 

Rey Mysterio vs. Randy Orton

Randy Orton won

Orton wraps a chair around Rey's head and throws him into the ring post before stealing his mask. 

The show ends with a few officials coming out to check on Mysterio while Orton holds up the mask as a trophy.

Rating 80/80:

Great show and matches following Survivor Series and as we look to WWE TLC.
