Thank you for joining Ringside News’ live results for WWE SmackDown Live on December 11th, 2018. This is a live results so keep updating throughout the night because we’ll continue to update as we go.
SmackDown Live is the go-home show for WWE TLC this week. Therefore, if WWE is going to put any finishing touches to the event this Sunday it’s going to have to happen tonight.
Charlotte Flair and Asuka are set to face off in a WrestleMania rematch. Those two will be joined by The Man at WWE TLC this Sunday in a Tables, Ladders, and Chairs match.
We are also getting a first-ever match that we didn’t expect at all. Daniel Bryan will face off against Mustafa Ali. This match could be amazing… hopefully it will be.
The Usos, The Bar, and The New Day will also take part in a rap battle. So that could be fun or at least it might make some waves as the last one did between Usos and New Day.
Mandy Rose is also set to face Naomi. Rose is very upset at The Glow for constantly calling her a bootleg Eva Marie. Jeff Hardy is set to answer to Samoa Joe’s rant about him recently as well.
It looks like a pretty loaded two-hour show so let’s get into it.
Daniel Bryan came out first and got a lot of boos before he even started talking. The New Daniel Bryan was in his ring gear ready to go. He apologized for calling the fans sheep… he would like to apologize to the sheep because they don’t deserve to be compared to the idiots and their mindless consumption. There is no such thing as a carbon hoofprint.
Then he called the crowd parasites and fickle while the crowd chanted, “Daniel sucks.”
Then Mustafa Ali came out. Daniel invited him into the ring and Ali got a pretty good pop for a 205 Live Superstar.
Daniel Bryan said the Las Vegas crowd doesn’t deserve to see him and Ali wrestle and Mustafa wondered what happened to Bryan.
Daniel asked Mustafa what kind of car he drives and Ali said that he drives an SUV because he has a family and it works for them. Bryan called him a small man and slapped Ali. Then Mustafa sent Daniel to the floor and hit a dive on the WWE Champion.
Daniel Bryan vs Mustafa Ali
Bryan took control as the match came back from commercial. Bryan focused on Ali’s legs and he got a couple inventive and punishing submissions involved.
Ali ducked a Yes Kick and returned with some kicks of his own for a two count. Bryan went outside and Mustafa hit a baseball slide. Then Bryan sent Ali face-first into the ring post.
In the little picture-in-picture during the commercials, Mustafa took control in a big way even hitting a Spanish fly from the top rope. Then Daniel sent Ali to the floor off the top turnbuckle to take control and get him back in the ring for a Yes Lock.
Ali got to the ropes and broke up the Yes Lock and then Bryan put him in the tree of woe for some kicks and a baseball slide to the face.
Ali moved out of the way and avoided a running dropkick to the corner, but Bryan took control once again. Then Ali nailed a tornado DDT for a close two count.
Bryan targeted Ali’s knees again and wrapped them around the ring post before locking in a heel hook causing Ali to tap out.
Winner: The New Daniel Bryan
After the match was over, Bryan locked on the heel hook on Ali once again on the entrance ramp and then he posed for the crowd and soaked up the heat.
Rap Battle
The New Day welcomed us to the rap battle. The Usos were facing The Bar so The New Day wasn’t rapping.
The Bar started out by doing some Ice Ice Baby parody “Ice Ice Sheamy”… it was… rehearsed.
“We shut it down, dog,” Sheamus said. “Yeah, word to your mother,” Cesaro said before they both did a mic drop.
Then The Usos tore them up verbally. They made fun of Sheamus’ hair grease and Cesaro’s mouthpiece. Then they said they wanted to delete the last rap battle. They called The New Day the Ninja Turtles and now it’s time to beat Rocksteady and Bepop. That was clever.
They said Sheamus looks stupid and got some “you look stupid chants going.” Then they asked Mr Turnbuckle what it was like to knock Cesaro’s teeth out.
Before they could welcome The Bar to the Uso Penitentiary, The Bar jumped them. The Bar cleared the ring and demolished everyone they could. That is how you win a rap battle.
Miz Doesn’t Beg
The Miz was in the ring clutching the WWE World Cup trophy. He wanted Shane McMahon to come out and started begging while he said that he doesn’t beg. Then he got down on one knee.
Finally, Shane McMahon came out.
Shane asked why Miz had the trophy. The Miz said he wanted to tag with McMahon again and he really wanted to be the best tag team in the world.
McMahon said it’s getting weird between Miz and the trophy. Miz said it was about so much more and called for a referee. Then he brought out The Vegas Boys for a match.
The Vegas Boys vs The Miz and Shane McMahon
The Vegas Boys jumped Shane from behind, but McMahon fought back. He cleared one Vegas boy out of the ring and took punches to the other one. Shane hit a back elbow and then botched a tornado DDT something fierce.
Then Shane got some leg scissors around one of the Vegas Boys’ throat and got him to submit.
Winners: Shane McMahon and The Miz
Paige was backstage yelling at the referee from the last match. Then The Vegas Boys were there saying that she owed them five grand a piece for their services tonight. She ripped up the contracts and threw the shreds in the Vegas Boys’ faces. Paige wasn’t happy at all.
Randy Orton
Orton walked to the ring and took his time as he usually does. He walked over to a chair and picked it up. He does have a chairs match against Rey Mysterio at WWE TLC this Sunday.
Orton showed some clips and hyped his match with Rey Mysterio. He said all the boys in the locker room are worried about 3 letters: TLC… but Mysterio needs to worry about RK– then Mysterio hit Orton with a chair from behind.
Mysterio hit a 6-1-9 and Orton took off.
Jeff Hardy & Rusev vs Samoa Joe & Shinsuke Nakamura
Before the match could start Carmella and R-Truth ran out to have a dance break!
The dance break provided a distraction for Hardy so Nakamura jumped him and then tagged in Samoa Joe. Hardy started to light Joe up, but Samoa Joe rolled outside and dragged Jeff outside to drive him spine-first into the barricade.
Hardy kept taking abuse as Joe piled it on, but Jeff kept kicking out to his credit. Nakamura tagged in to kick Jeff around before Joe tagged back in to lock on a submission hold. Hardy fought back and hit a Whisper In The Wind and Rusev got the hot tag.
Rusev nailed a bunch of knees to Nakamura and tossed him across the ring. Then he hit a spinkick before Nakamura nailed a couple back elbows and Rusev ducked two kicks before catching one of his own.
Hardy nailed a Twist Of Fate on Nakamura and a dive on Joe to the outside. Nakamura avoided Rusev’s assault and went for a Kinsasha but he ran right into a Machka Kick for the loss. Rusev pinned the US Champion.
Winners: Rusev & Jeff Hardy
Shane McMahon confronted The Miz asking him what has gotten into him. The Miz said he was bringing out those McMahon instincts. The Miz said he has a film franchise and a reality tv show. He’s never been considered best in the world until Shane came along. The Miz wanted a handshake, but Shane just let.
Charlotte Flair vs Asuka
Charlotte and Asuka had it out as a rematch from WreslteMania. it was a pretty brutal encounter and Asuka didn’t let up at all.
Flair ended up in a rear naked choke, but Flair got to the ropes and caused a break of the hold.
Flair and Asuka were fighting from their knees before they had a chance to get up. Flair invited more shots, and Asuka gave them to her. Then Asuka tied up Flair with a submission hold as Becky Lynch sat at ringside and watched.
Flair tried to get out, but Asuka slammed Flair back and got a two count. Then Asuka wrapped Flair up in a submission of her own.
Asuka locked on a triangle and Flair tried to pin her. Asuka started striking Flair’s head with palm strikes. Flair picked Auska up and slammed her back down for a two count and Lynch didn’t look impressed.
Flair got to her feet first and started taunting Asuka saying she will never beat her. Then Flair locked on a Figure 8, but Asuka was able to power out and flip it over to reverse the pressure for a moment.
Asuka was selling her knee as Charlotte went to attack her left leg. Asuka tried to kick Flair off, but Charlotte continued to try and lock Asuka’s leg back up. Then she got a two count. Charlotte dragged Asuka to the ring post and wrapped Asuka’s leg around the post for another two count.
Asuka rolled Flair up when she was trying for another Figure 8. Then Flair hit a couple chops to Asuka, but the third one was blocked and Asuka kicked Flair’s back before Flair came back with a spear, but Asuka turned it into a Codebreaker for a two count.
.The Empress started kicking The Queen, but Flair blocked a kick only to catch a few elbows and knees from Asuka. Then Charlotte hit another spear that landed for a two count.
Flair dragged Asuka to the corner and she climbed to the top rope for a moonsault, but Asuka got her knees up and strapped on the Asuka Lock and both women tumbled out of the ring.
Flair looked under the ring and got the kendo stick to hit Asuka and end the match.
The referee called for the bell and that was a shame.
Winner: Asuka via DQ
Flair fell to the ground out of exhaustion. Lynch got up and started to walk away. Then Flair hit a kendo stick hot to the knee and Lynch went off on her. She threw Charlotte into the ring steps and grabbed the kendo stick to tee off on Flair several times.
Asuka jumped Lynch and sent her over the announce desk. Asuka then picked up the kendo stick and started whacking Charlotte and then Lynch and then Becky and then Char and then Bex and so on.
Then Asuka stood on the announce table and raised the kendo stick above her head as the show went off the air.
