– Tonight’s SmackDown opens up with a video package with highlights from last week’s show, focusing on the dog food beatdown Roman Reigns took from King Corbin and Dolph Ziggler.

Corbin takes the mic as fans boo. He thanks everyone for the warm welcome and they boo some more. Corbin and Ziggler start joking about a smell that’s making them sick. They’re not sure if it’s the fans or all the dog food they dump and smeared on Roman Reigns last week. Corbin wants to make this quick but he just wanted to come out and talk about the incredible 2019 he’s had – he defeated WWE Hall of Famer Kurt Angle at WrestleMania 35, he won the King of the Ring tournament, and now he’s going to make The Big Dog bow down to his king at TLC. Corbin says after he puts Reigns in his place, SmackDown will be his to rule as the leader.
Corbin says he’s seen the nonsense about Reigns coming “unchained” to SmackDown tonight. Corbin and Ziggler go on talking trash about Reigns. Corbin says he has every window and door in the arena covered if Reigns does decide to show up, and he will just be showing up to a far worse fate than last week.

Kofi asks if someone said ‘new day’. Big E says they were in the back watching Greek Freak highlights and they see this buffoon in a Burger King crown talking about an imaginary kingdom he rules on Smackdown. When their name is uttered, poof, they appear to tell this trick how they feel. Baron asks if they want to talk about magic like unicorns. Baron asks Kofi to show the trick that Brock Lesnar did in taking the title from him in seven seconds.
Kofi says it was eight seconds and he considers himself the man of the people. You had a great 2019, but Kofi reminds Baron he won the WWE Championship at Wrestlemania. For six months he defended the title and beat eveyrone, including your court jester Dolph Ziggler. Kofi says when he lost, he was not whining and complaining. Instead, he picked himself up and he kept marching forward. We stand before you as seven time WWE World Ttag Team Champions. Kofi says that Baron is looking stupid with that crown and scepter. If you were a true king, you would hold yourself with dignity and class, things you cannot do. Kofi says what you did to Roman Reigns was straight up disrespectful and he does not like it.
Baron asks if he can still hear Kofi and talks about Kofi having one lucky day in his eleven year career. Kofi slaps Baron and he tells Baron he can hear him now. Baron tells Kofi if he wants to stand up and be a locker room leader like Roman, he will suffer the same fate as Roman.
