www.ringsidenews.com/2020/12/22/wwe-smackdown-live-spoilers-for-december-25th-episode/amp/{Spoiler}Roman Reigns vs Kevin Owens – Universal Title Cage Match
They have a lengthy match. Roman Reigns slammed the cage door on Kevin Owens’ face. Jey Usos is apparently up there and handcuffed Owens to the cage. The match went through at least two commercial breaks.
Roman Reign retains the Universal Title
Charlotte and Asuka are up next
The WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions come to the ring, and out comes Bayley. Out comes Sasha Banks. There is a moment where Sasha Banks’ title belt fell down and Bayley laughed. Carmella comes out, and she’s tagging with Bayley.
Bianca Belair & Sasha Banks vs Bayley & Carmella vs Asuka & Charlotte – WWE Women’s Tag Team Titles Elimination Match
Bayley and Mella re out first as Banks pinned Bayley. Charlotte and Asuka then retain the titles.
Asuka & Charlotte Retain
The Street Profits got Sami Zayn a gift for Christmas. It’s his “I Am The IC Champion” shirt, but they put “Was” over it. Nice segment for the Holidays.
Jey Uso vs Daniel Bryan
This match goes a pretty good amount, possible two commercial breaks’ worth of solid wrestling. Daniel Bryan won. This match was supposed to be on TLC, but they saved it for Christmas. The same is the case for the main event.
Daniel Bryan wins
Sami Zayn vs Big E – IC Title
This lumberjack match came in handy as Sami Zayn tried to run away, but they carried him back. Then Big E hit the Big Ending and won the IC Title.
Winner and NEW IC Champion: Big E

I haven't really been feeling SD lately, but this looks like an entertaining show. I'm also glad they won't have to work on Christmas day.

Big oof at Charlotte pinning Bianca. If it goes like I think it does, then we are gonna reach a new level of toxicity in the wrestling fandom come Friday.

Looks like a pretty stacked show, and the couple of comments I saw sounded pretty positive about the matches themselves, with one singling out the women's tag. There's also some clips circulating on Twitter of the bit where Sasha's belt falls off.

Since Big E's going to be the IC champ, give me him vs. Otis for it! Face vs. face, of course.

I for one am shocked that the steel cage was unable to keep Jey Uso from interfering.

Charlotte pinned Bianca just lol it aint even worth being mad at anymore.
I know they weren't going to take the belt off Roman but man if there is another match idk how you do not give it to KO at this rate because it can't possibly be anymore one sided a feud.

Could be Bryan vs. Roman for the Rumble, based on this.

I know they weren't going to take the belt off Roman but man if there is another match idk how you do not give it to KO at this rate because it can't possibly be anymore one sided a feud. It’s weird because if Reigns’s character work wasn’t so strong, he’s on track for having a proper Jinder Mahal run where he’s always got Jey Uso bailing him out, then he’s punching his opponent in the dick and choking them out. Not as many degrees of separation as you’d initially think. Oh, and I suppose Bianca Belair’s career is over now and she’ll never recover (even though it really isn’t and losing a match clean REALLY doesn’t have to be the end of the world, but like, you know, whatever).

The only thing I'll say about the women's match is hopefully there was some miscommunication between Bianca and Sasha that lead to Bianca being pinned, thus planting the seeds for the WM match I want to see.

But seriously, just have Roman beat Owens clean. Not every heel needs to cheat to get their heat. Reigns is an asshole, that's his heat. And a cage match would be the perfect way for him to just destroy KO. Owens can get a hope spot, do something crazy like dive off the top and have Roman move before finishing him off. Trust me, the dude can afford that loss.

Not sure about miscommunication, but apparently Bianca was protected by a distraction being involved.

Was it the bells from this Hikaru Shida promo?

Heh, was reportedly shenanigans with Reginald, so I assume they might be doing more with Sasha/Bianca feuding with Bayley/Carmella afterwards.
Also of note is that the match was Charlotte's first successful title defense since August 2018.

I can't say I really am upset that Bianca got pinned by the newly-returned talent. If you must do the match, that's who should lose and to who, but, it creates the question of why the match too place at all. Maybe just have it be a one fall match and have Charlotte pin Bayley, or have Bianca get pinned off of something dirty like Bayley raking her eyes first and getting knocked off the apron by Asuka.

That is exactly the question that should be asked and the anwser is there was no reason for this match. If they wanted to set up a future tag title match for the Riott squad there was a much better and quite frankly easier way to do it.....Charlotte and Asuka show and the Riott Squad confront them. And if a match had to take place have Bayley and Carmella come out and we get a threeway with Asuka Vs Ruby Vs Carmella...and have Ruby pin Carmella.

WWE rarely does these kind of elimination matches so I have no idea why they did it here when you're just doubling the amount of people that need to get pinned.
