Here are your quick and dirty, editorial-free WWE Friday Night Smackdown results for March 13, 2020. This week’s edition of Smackdown was aired from the WWE Performance Center in front of no fans due to coronavirus concerns, and it was pretty weird. Make sure you’re here tomorrow for the complete Best and Worst of Friday Night Smackdown column.
WWE Friday Night Smackdown Results:
– Triple H opened the show by introducing the Performance Center, then joined Michael Cole on commentary.
– The set-up was similar to Wednesday’s edition of NXT, except with no fans. The empty chairs are lit blue.
1. Sasha Banks and Bayley defeated Alexa Bliss and Nikki Cross. Before the match, Bayley and Sasha had microphones and cut a promo talking to nobody. Paige was supposed to be there but couldn’t be, so they laughed at her. Bliss and Cross interrupted, saying they want a shot at the Kabuki Warriors on Raw. Banks tapped out Cross to the Banks Statement after interference from Asuka took out Alexa Bliss.
– Michael Cole interviewed Roman Reigns about his upcoming (?) match with Bill Goldberg.
– Jeff Hardy was interviewed backstage, but was interrupted by King Corbin, who made DUI jokes. They’ll have a match later in the night. Elias showed up to sing a song about Corbin.
– Backstage, Daniel Bryan put over Drew Gulak and asked him to teach him. They were interrupted by Sami Zayn, Cesaro, and Shinsuke Nakamura, setting up Bryan vs. Cesaro for later in the night.
– The Smackdown Tag Team Championship Elimination Chamber match from Elimination Chamber was shown in full.
– Miz and John Morrison gloated about their Elimination Chamber victory, joked about their movies, and danced around.
– Mojo Rawley (in a pink, Zubaz suit) confirmed that Rob Gronkowski is interested in becoming a WWE Superstar and will be on Smackdown next week.
2. Daniel Bryan defeated Cesaro. Sami Zayn and Shinsuke Nakamura were at ringside for Cesaro, and Gulak for Bryan. Bryan pinned Cesaro with a roll-up. The two sides brawled after the match, with the heels sending Gulak into the ring steps.
3. Jeff Hardy defeated King Corbin. Hardy won a quick match with a Swanton Bomb.
– John Cena was interviewed in the ring, which was interrupted by Bray Wyatt. Wyatt said that Cena destroyed him at WrestleMania, but The Fiend put him back together. Wyatt says this year’s WrestleMania will be a, “slaughter.”
