WWE SmackDown Results – November 13, 2020

Welcome to Ringside News’ live results for WWE SmackDown on Friday the 13th.

Sooo, this is a little awkward. We actually don’t know any of what’s planned for tonight’s SmackDown at the time of writing. WWE hasn’t revealed any details of tonight’s episode because apparently Vince McMahon demanded a complete rewrite of the planned show.

That being said, it’s fair we can expect further build towards Survivor Series and we still don’t know the final member of Team SmackDown. The same can be said of the women’s Survivor Series match, as we don’t know three of the members of that team either. Beyond that we’re sure to get more from the WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns, Intercontinental Champion Sami Zayn, the Tag Team Champions the Street Profits, Women’s Champion Sasha Banks, and more.

And that’s our rather sparse preview that will kick-off at 8PM EST. Let us know what you’re excited to see and enjoy the show!

SmackDown

This week’s SmackDown opens with the WWE Universal Champion, Roman Reigns coming to the ring alongside his adviser Paul Heyman.

Roman talks about Jey Uso and says rubbing shoulders with him has turned Jey into a main eventer who destroyed Daniel Bryan and Kevin Owens. And at Survivor Series Jey will lead Team SmackDown to victory. Roman turns his attention to Randy Orton and says he doesn’t think about him, but you can respect a man’s accomplishments but not the man himself.

Drew McIntyre comes out and interrupts Roman. Drew says he couldn’t help but cut in because Roman took it for granted he would be facing Randy Orton at Survivor Series, but he will beat Randy on Monday night and it will be him and Roman at the PPV. Drew remembers the last time he and Roman were in the ring together, and it was when he eliminated him at the Royal Rumble. He reminds Roman that he then went to WrestleMania and dethroned Brock Lesnar, and in the meantime he has become the man while Roman ran away.

Roman says he likes Drew, always has, and he respects him. Drew told the truth, but now he’s back and ever since he’s been back nobody cares about Drew McIntyre. Roman says he doesn’t watch RAW but that’s fine because nobody does. People are watching SmackDown to see him. And now that Drew has failed his audition as the leader of WWE, he wants to know who exactly Drew McIntyre is. Drew says he’s the guy who’s going to beat Randy Orton and become WWE Champion, then head into Survivor Series and show who the secondary Champion really is.

Jey Uso runs down and gets between Roman and Drew. Jey says he’s got this and he asks Drew what he’s doing here. He says Drew wasn’t invited, that they run the place. Jey says Drew is being disrespectful and all the homies that are disrespectful get got, and it seems he’s going to have to do the same to Drew tonight. McIntyre goes to speak but Jey slaps the microphone out of his hand, so Drew shoves him down. McIntyre steps towards Jey but Roman gets in the way. They stare at each other before Roman and Jey walk off.

*Commercial Break*

We return to find Roman screaming at Jey backstage, telling him to never stick his nose in his business. He says Jey shouldn’t be calling shots or making matches, to which Jey apologises and says he will handle things.

The Intercontinental Champion Sami Zayn is in the ring and he says he only found out an hour ago that he will have to defend his title tonight. And not only defend it, but do so against a former United States Champion in the form of freak athlete Apollo Crews. He says this is clear evidence of a conspiracy against him but it’s OK, he’s going to use this as a chance to prove himself as the best Intercontinental Champion.

Intercontinental Champion

Sami Zayn Vs. Apollo Crews

The match gets underway and Sami backs Apollo into the corner with right hands. Zayn whips Crews into the ropes but the big man drops him with a shoulder. Apollo hits a splash in the corner, then lifts Sami for a military slam into the turnbuckles. Sami rolls outside but Crews chases after and gets him back inside. Zayn attacks Apollo but Crews hits a suplex followed by a moonsault for a two-count.

Crews whips Sami to the ropes but the Champion grabs the ropes and rolls out of the ring. Zayn rips the apron off the ring then lies on the ground and begs for mercy. As Apollo nears him Sami pulls Apollo face-first into the girder under the ring. Sami then ties Apollo’s feet in the girder and slides back inside to win by count-out!

Winner: Sami Zayn

Drew McIntyre is backstage with Adam Pearce and the official is offering him the match against Jey Uso. McIntyre rhetorically asks if he knows him and they laugh, of course he wants the match. Drew tells him to make sure Roman has a front row seat.

Rey Mysterio is interviewed backstage with Dominik, Aaliyah and his wife. Rey says Seth Rollins tried to ruin his career and his family this year. He reminds us that Seth removed his eye, tried to break the family, but tonight it culminates in one final battle. Seth calls himself the saviour but he’s nothing but a devil, and tonight he’s sending him back to Hell.

*Commercial Break*

Sasha Banks is in the ring and she says it feels damn good to be Champion. What she has went through would be enough to end anyone but not her because she’s on top of her game and on top of the division. So all the women in the back are on notice. She knows Carmella is watching… Bayley comes down to the ramp but Carmella appears behind Sasha and superkicks her. Carmella lifts Sasha for an X-Factor and the princess mocks the Champion. Carmella leaves and Sasha stares on in anger, holding her jaw.

Otis is sitting backstage, eating three plates of food. Bobby Roode and Dolph Ziggler walk in front of him and start making fun of him. Otis gets riled-up and flips the table with the food on it.

*Commercial Break*

Dolph Ziggler W/Bobby Roode Vs. Otis

The match starts and Ziggler slaps Otis but the big man slams him into the corner. Otis throws Dolph across the ring and batters him in the corner. Otis lands another running splash in the corner, then looks to hit the Caterpillar but Roode gets on the apron to cause a distraction, allowing Dolph to hit the Zig-Zag but Otis kicks out! Dolph moves to the corner and stomps-up the band but Otis catches him and hits a body slam. Otis connects with the Caterpillar, then hits a Vader Bomb for the win!

Winner: Otis

*Commercial Break*

Otis is backstage and Chad Gable walks up and says he’s impressed by him. Gable says Otis could do that to whoever he wants and be whatever he wants. He says Otis needs someone who can help him get to the next level and he hands him a pamphlet for the ‘Alpha Academy’. Otis reads the leaflet and he loves the idea but Gable looks sinister.

We see a lengthy video package chronicling the rivalry between Seth Rollins and Rey Mysterio. Both men make their entrances with the match after the break.

Seth superkicks Dominik, then gets back inside but Mysterio throws a chair in Seth’s face. Murphy then gets in the ring and helps Seth to his feet and hands him a chair. Murphy then lifts Mysterio but instead hits Rollins with a leaping knee!

Rollins is shocked and gets to his feet to chase Murphy, who rolls out of the ring. Seth hangs on the middle rope, screaming at Murphy, but Rey appears and hits him with the 619! Mysterio goes to the top rope and gives a little Viva La Raza shake for Eddie Guerrero’s anniversary, before hitting a frog splash for the win!

Kayla Braxton interviews Drew McIntyre backstage and the Scottish psychopath reiterates his intention on proving why he is the man now, and continuing his momentum by beating Jey tonight, then Randy, then Roman.

*Commercial Break*

Big E is backstage joking around with an official. Street Profits walk up with a dinner cart and some hidden meals. They need to apologise to Big E and they reveal the food all shaped like L’s. Big E asks why and they say it’s because his friends the New Day will lose at Survivor Series. Big E says Street Profits are great athletes but all they’ll ever be is New Day light, knock-off New Day, and his boys will prove they are the best in the world. Big E laughs and walks off but the Profits look pissed.

Drew McIntyre makes his way to the ring for the unsanctioned main event. Jey Uso comes out second, looking more than a little apprehensive.
