In-Ring: Roman Reigns, King Corbin

WWE Smackdown kicks off with Roman Reigns walking down to the ring. Roman wishes everyone a happy thanksgiving. He says to him, thanksgiving means three things. Family, good health and happiness. And this time last year, he only had family. It was a tough year and to be here in the ring in good health, surrounded by new family is a blessing. And he wants to tell everyone thank you.

Roman says he has a lot to be thankful for because at Survivor Series, team Smackdown whooped ass. And he didn’t do it on his own. He says he had a great team, the man himself Ali. The underdog Shorty G and the monster among men Braun Strowman. But they had one dummy on the team and they know who it is. And he won’t thank a dummy. If anything, that dummy should be thanking him and he thinks they should bring the dummy out.

King Corbin’s music hits and out comes Baron Corbin. He tells Roman that he thinks he should come out and thank him. Corbin says Roman must have lost his mind because it was his fearless leadership that won it for Smackdown. He eliminated two people before Roman betrayed his team and got him eliminated. Corbin says Roman’s ego couldn’t handle the fact that he was going to win and get the job done.

Reigns says he didn’t because he got eliminated. But he has a chance to do it tonight. Roman says he can try to get the job done in the ring. Corbin says he knew he would say something like that but he knows Roman is just an ego maniac. He wants people to believe he is a role model. Corbin says he enjoyed the fattest, juiciest turkey, drank the finest wine. He bets Roman had store bought turkey that his wife must have burnt but he can’t tell the difference just like the people in Alabama.

Corbin says he is thankful he doesn’t have to eat the food Roman eats and thankful that he doesn’t have to live in this part of the country. He’s a king. Corbin says if Roman wants to fight, why doesn’t he fight someone who was also victorious at Survivor Series? Accompanied by his partner Dolph Ziggler, Robert Roode. And he has a feeling Roman will leave on a stretcher.

In-Ring: Bayley, Sasha Banks, Lacey Evans

Both women get in the ring and ask for microphones. Sasha Banks says they didn’t come out for some speech, they can leave that for Raw. They are here to talk about Survivor Series. She didn’t choose her team because if she did, they would have won Survivor Series with her eyes closed. Bayley says it what happened to the Smackdown women at Survivor Series was an embarrassment. Smackdown didn’t lose because NXT is better and she didn’t lose because Shayna is better than her. Smackdown lost because the entire locker room let them down.

Sasha says the truth hurts and as role models and leaders, you have to say what hurts. Because a great and strong leader is lead by the weakest link. And the weakest link on her team was the whole team. They proceed to insult Nikki Cross, Dana Brooke, Carmella and Lacey Evans. The entire women’s division makes them sick.

Lacey’s music hits and out comes Lacey Evans. She gets in the ring and tells Sasha not to test her patience as she spent the entire night preparing a Thanksgiving for 36 people. And she won’t sit through two classless women. Lacey says she wouldn’t trust them to lead a chicken dance in a garden party. And if they are just going to hide behind excuses, it’s time that the Smackdown women’s division gets a real woman to be the locker room leader. A woman with style, class, confidence and sophistication.

The fans chant “Lacey Evans”. She continues and says a woman who wouldn’t tap out under pressure. Lacey taps on the women’s belt as Sasha gets in her face. Lacey hits her with the Woman’s Right. Bayley stands there as Lacey leaves the ring. Bayley checks up on Sasha.

Big E says but the question is who as the fans say who. Shinsuke Nakamura’s music hits and out he comes with Sami Zayn and Cesaro. Zayn tells everyone to shut their mouths.

Winners: The New Day

In-Ring: Daniel Bryan, Bray Wyatt

Daniel Bryan’s music hits as he walks down to the ring. He grabs a microphone. Bryan says Bray Wyatt said if he wanted another championship match, all he had to do was let him in. And people gave him a lot of unsolicited advice who tried to talk him out of it. And maybe The Miz is right, maybe he needed to be changed. He walked into his match at Survivor Series very nervous. And in the middle of that match, Bryan felt changed. But he wasn’t changed because of the Fiend. He was changed because of the fans.

Bryan says it was their passion, voice, energy that made him realize the person that he should have been this whole time. He has said on numerous occasions that the yes movement is dead. But maybe, just maybe the fans brought it back to life. He has one question. Bray Wyatt challenged him to a championship match. He asks if he should accept as the fans chant “Yes” and Bryan does the “Yes” chant.

Firefly Fun House plays on the screen as Wyatt says he has to admit something. The Miz is right. If he goes through with it again, he will change. He will remove Bryan’s mask and show everyone his true form. It’s only fair because he helped him change. He helped build this place. He remembers why. Because he remembers. Wyatt says he almost forgot the best part. He promised a new face and he is many things, including a man of his word. Wyatt laughs as the lights go out in the arena and turn red. The Fiend comes up through the ring and tries to drag Bryan as Bryan fights back but the Fiend locks on the Mandible Claw.

He drags Bryan through the ring and pulls his hands out with strings of hair in them. Wyatt keeps pulling out more hair through the ring as Wyatt’s evil laugh is heard in the arena.
