The latest episode of WWE’s SmackDown featured edge-of-the-seat action and plenty of drama. The Bloodline dominated the majority of the show as WWE sought to underline the evolving relationship between Sami Zayn and Jey Uso.
The Bloodline opened the show as Zayn credited The Usos for securing an impressive win at the Survivor Series WarGames. The trio revelled in their newfound chemistry with a group handshake.
There are lingering questions about Zayn’s credibility but Jey Uso still helped him in his bout with Sheamus. Fans particularly enjoyed the last segment of Friday’s show which featured the finals of the SmackDown World Cup. Ricochet fought tooth and nail to win the tournament and earn a shot at GUNTHER’s intercontinental championship.

Emma vs Shayna Baszler
Emma fought valiantly in the match but was eventually outclassed in the match. Baszler locked in the devastating Kirifuda Clutch and registered the win by submission.
Kofi Kingston vs Gunther
The clash between Kofi Kingston and Gunther was one of the most competitive clashes of the night.

SmackDown World Cup Finals: Ricochet vs Santos Escobar
This was the showpiece bout of the night and it lived up to its billing. All three members of Legado Del Fantasma were ejected from ringside early in the match. Escobar was forced to face the music alone and this led to a highly competitive match between the two superstars. Ricochet dominated the action by executing a suicide dive, top rope superplex and springboard moonsault. Escobar also managed to land some of his signature moves. But it was Ricochet who showed greater endurance and finished the match by landing a 630 splash.
