WWE Smackdown Results – Dec 19, 2017

We are in Newark, New Jersey and your announcers are Tom Phillips, Byron Saxton, and Corey Graves.

Daniel Bryan makes his way to the ring. Daniel welcomes everyone to Smackdown. Daniel wants to talk about the announcement of the women’s Royal Rumble match for the Royal Rumble in Philadelphia. He says it will be huge, awesome, and a turning point in WWE history. Tonight, in the main event, Sami Zayn, Kevin Owens, and Jinder Mahal will face Randy Orton, AJ Styles, and Shinsuke Nakamura.

Shane McMahon’s music plays and he makes his way to the ring.

Shane says hello to the crowd. He also mentions the women’s Royal Rumble match. Shane wants to talk about Clash of Champions. Shane says everything was happening the right way when Randy Orton hit Sami with an RKO. Shane says he was about to make the three count to see Kevin and Sami gone from WWE forever. However, as he went down for the three count, you tripped and broke up the count. Shane says he could have counted to 50.

Daniel says that was an accident. Shane says he did not know that at the time.

Shane says that he was going to make the three count when Sami Zayn had Randy Orton won. Shane says he remembered what Kevin did to his father, he remembered how Sami cost him at Hell in a Cell, and he remembered what Kevin and Sami did to screw over Team Blue at Survivor Series and he did not make the three count.

Sami rolled up Orton and made a quick three count.

Daniel says he did what he did to protect Shane from himself.

Shane says he does not need protection from Daniel.

Daniel tells Shane, with all due respect, yes you do. You eat, sleep, and breathe Smackdown. That passion turns you into a hot head. Daniel says he was protecting Shane and the idea of what Smackdown is about. Daniel says he took this job because of a shared vision. A shared vision of a land of opportunity. A land of opportunity for everyone, not just people that you like. You might not like Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens, but you threaten their livelihood and you threaten to take away what they promised everyone.

Shane says he has been thinking about this. He says he understands why Daniel has empathy for Kevin and Sami. As soon as they are done playing on your empathetic heartstrings, they are going to stab you in the back. Shane tells Daniel not to show favoritism because it will bite you in the butt.

Daniel asks if he should have done what was best for business? Daniel says he heard those words before and he struggled and fought against those words. Daniel believed in Shane and Smackdown. If you have a different vision, that is your prerogative. If you want to fire someone, fire him. Daniel says he doesn’t want to see Shane-O Mac turn into Mr. McMahon.

The crowd chants ‘Who’s Your Daddy’ to Shane.

Shane tells Daniel, he respects him implicitly and trusts him. Shane wishes Bryan good luck with tonight’s show, then lays the mic down and leaves the ring. Bryan looks on as his music hits.

Dolph says you are not worthy of his presence, none of you are. Dolph says none of you deserve him. Do you want something to remember him by? Dolph drops the title belt and walks out of the ring.
