Below are the complete results from tonight’s SmackDown.
– Chief Content Officer Triple H kicked off tonight’s SmackDown. He was announced as WWE CCO Paul “Triple H” Levesque. He met Adam Pearce and Nick Aldis in the ring.
HHH said the Road to WrestleMania 40 is on fire after last night. He said he wants to clear up one thing and a “Rocky Sucks” chant breaks out.
Triple H said there’s some confusion as some people don’t know their role, as some people tried to assert their authority, which they don’t have. HHH said he doesn’t care where they ‘sit’ because the answers come from one place only – him.
HHH then made it clear that Roman Reigns will defend the Undisputed WWE Championship against Cody Rhodes in the main event of the biggest WrestleMania of all time – WrestleMania 40.
He said some people in the back won’t like this decision, but it doesn’t matter if they don’t like that decision, and the fans cheered.
Aldis then revealed that Seth Rollins’ WrestleMania 40 challenger will be determined in the Elimination Chamber in Australia on February 24. The qualifying matches will take place tonight.
Below are the 12 men that will compete in the qualifying matches:
Randy Orton
Bronson Reed
Kevin Owens
Logan Paul
AJ Styles
The Miz
Bobby Lashley
Ivar
Drew McIntyre
Sami Zayn
Dominik Mysterio
LA Knight
– Drew McIntyre said his CM Punk T-Shirt is a top seller on WWE Shop and he plans to give zero penny to Punk as royalty.
– Drew McIntyre def. AJ Styles to qualify for the Men’s Elimination Chamber Match
Styles got distracted by LA Knight and punched him. Drew took advantage and hit the Claymore Kick for the win.
– Bianca Belair def. “Michin” Mia Yim to qualify for the Women’s Elimination Chamber Match
– Bron Breakker met Triple H backstage and wants advice regarding which brand he should join. Paul Heyman interrupted and met Breakker. Heyman said Bron is a phenomenal talent and HHH asked him what he wants.
Since HHH was angry, Heyman said he’ll meet The Game on next week’s SmackDown, along with WWE Champion Roman Reigns and The Rock.
– Dakota Kai interrupted Bayley’s promo and said she wasn’t here on SmackDown last week because she was visiting her doctor to get cleared to return to the ring. Dakota said she did believe in Bayley’s vision for Damage CTRL. Bayley asked her whose side she’s on. WWE Women’s Champion IYO SKY and Women’s Tag Team Champions The Kabuki Warriors (Asuka & Kairi Sane) then came out.
Kai then picked up a steel chair and it looked like she was going to hit Bayley, but she attacked IYO, Asuka & Kairi, thus turning babyface by siding with Bayley.
