Smark Out Moment

Tonight's episode of WWE SmackDown for December 19, 2017 is coming to you live from the Prudential Center in Newark, NJ. Follow along here for ongoing coverage of the results of the show to find out what happens as things occur and chat with fellow WWE fans in the comments below!

• Daniel Bryan opens the show to quickly tell us of the six-man tag team match main event (getting sick of those yet, everybody?) when he's interrupted by Shane McMahon, who talks about how his emotions ran high at Clash of Champions. Bryan explains how if this is the land of opportunity on SmackDown, it can't be just for the people they like. If Shane wants to fire someone, he should fire him, because he doesn't want to see Shane O'Mac turn into Mr. McMahon. The fans start chanting "Who's your daddy?" (LOL) Shane says he trusts and respects him, and wishes him good luck with the show tonight.
• Chad Gable and Shelton Benjamin def. The Usos by pinfall
• Charlotte Flair talks about how the support of the fans helped convince management to do a women's Royal Rumble match. Naomi comes out to declare that she'll be in the Royal Rumble (no shit) and that she'll see Charlotte at WrestleMania. The Riott Squad come out. Naomi basically says "screw you all, let's have a match" and nothing more, so Riott and Logan will face Flair and Naomi now. 
• Charlotte Flair and Naomi def. Ruby Riott and Sarah Logan by pinfall
• The New Day are handing out pancakes and shirts backstage when they bump into Rusev Claus and Aiden English (dressed as a snowman). Rusev Claus has only a naughty list and everybody is on it. They challenge them to a match.
• Dolph Ziggler gloats about how his United States title win proves that he's the best and reminds everyone of his first title reign with that belt in 2011, how he's a 5x intercontinental champion, Money in the Bank and world heavyweight champion. Year after year, he goes unappreciated even though he proves himself night after night. We're not worthy of his presence. "You want something to remember me by?" Dolph puts the title down in the ring and leaves.
• Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn give some champagne to Daniel Bryan backstage. They want to thank him for making the right decision. He calls them delusional and says he might just have to fire them himself if they don't stop gloating.

• Shinsuke Nakamura, Randy Orton and AJ Styles def. Kevin Owens, Sami Zayn and Jinder Mahal by pinfall
