WWE taped tonight’s WWE Smackdown in London, England and the spoilers are coming online. The show is airing live on Netflix internationally, but will air at its normal time in the US on USA Network. Full results for the show are below.

* A recap of last week’s WWE Smackdown was shown.

* Drew McIntyre came down and cut a promo talking about how he prayed for the title and it happened, talking about the love he’s received since he won. He then heeled on the crowd, saying “screw you” and accusing them of being on his bandwagon. He said the fans weren’t there when he was fired, when he was screwed over by Roman Reigns or CM Punk, or by Cody Rhodes. He said he thanks himself and the fans should thank him. McIntyre addressed Rhodes and said that he put a clause in the contract that Rhodes doesn’t get a rematch.

Randy Orton then came out and said that he and Drew don’t like each other, and that Drew had a chance to kick his head through the announce table but didn’t. He said when he will not hesitate to return the favor and will beat Drew for the title like he’s done before. Jacob Fatu then came out and went after McIntyre. They battled to the floor and into the audience. The Miz then snuck in and hit a Skull Crushing Finale on Orton.

* Fatal Four-Way Qualifying Match: Randy Orton def. The Miz. Orton hit an RKO to end the match and pick up the win.

* McIntyre ran into Ilja Dragunov in the pack, who vowed to beat Sami Zayn and get closer to a title shot against McIntyre. McIntyre said he didn’t care because he was being chased by Fatu but said if Dragunov makes it to the Royal Rumble, Drew will knock his teeth out.

* A Wyatt video played in the VCR style where Uncle Howdy said that Solo Sikoa may have stolen their light, but he’s now inherited what the lantern means. Howedy says that the lantern wasn’t a weapon but something they carried so the dark doesn’t carry the Wyatt Sicks. He said that it didn’t belong in Sikoa’s hands and will come back to them.

* Charlotte Flair met up with Alexa Bliss backstage. Bliss says last week sucked when Flair was off and asked if Flair was actually sick. Flair said yes and they asked if they had each other’s back. Lash Legend and Nia Jax showed up and Jax said it’s typical of Bliss to act like the vistim. Flair told them not to give her advice.

* Alexa Bliss & Charlotte Flair def. Kiana James & Giulia. Bliss tagged in at the end of the match after James hit Flair with a knee and nailed Sister Abigail on James for the pinfall win. Jax attacked Giulia post-match before she and Legend attacked Flair and threw her into the ringpost. James held Giulia back from going after Jax.

* Sikoa cut a promo responding to Uncle Howdy and said Howdy was right and the lantern was more than just a lantern. He said that the Fireflies are now in his posession and the Wyatt’s legacy is in his hands. He told the Wyatts to put up the WWE Tag Tam Championships if they want to get the latter back. Sikoa said the lantern would be with him when he beats Damian Priest tonight and when he brings the Undisputed WWE Championship to the MFTs.

* Cody Rhodes come out for a promo. He noted that things sounded a bit different and said it’s okay, as it was becoming formulaic as he would come out, pound his fist and get the same response from fans before asking what they want to talk about. He says that he wanted the crowd to be part of things but maybe he got used to things being episodic, and he didn’t see how he could lose. Or perhaps McIntyre was that good. He noted that Shawn Michaels, Steve Austin, and Hulk Hogan are the only ones who went back-to-back at the Royal Rumble, but only one did it three times in a row. He said that London is a city that meant a lot to him and he isn’t getting an automatic rematch, so he’s doing it the old fashioned way and announced himself for the Royal Rumble. Rhodes also addressed Fatu and said that he has the biggest receipt coming to him, and Fatu can come to get it or Rhodes will find him and deliver it.

* Matt Cardona was interviewed by Cathy Kelley about his match with Trick Williams tonight. He said that he was hoping to face Rhodes for the Title when he wins at Saturday Night’s Main Event but now he can face McIntyre, who was his first match in WWE. He said that he’s back to be champion.

* Fatal Four-Way Qualifying Match: Trick Williams def. Matt Cardona. The finish of the match saw Cardona miss a Radio Silence, but hit a knee. Trick fought back with a pounce and then the Trick Shot to get the victory. Kit Wilson came down to the ring afterward and attacked Cardona.

* Damian Priest was interviewed by Cathy Kelley and said that tonight it’s all about Solo Sikoa for him and that facing Sikoa alone isn’t going to be an issue. He questioned whether it will really be one-on-one and said that he will take all the MFTs out if he has to to win and get to Mcintyre.

* Kit Wilson was still in the ring and cut a promo saying that the fans need him for leadership. Fatu appeared behind him and hit him with a superkick, a back senton and a double jump moonsault. Fatu then took the mic and called Rhodes out to the ring. Rhodes appeared and they brawled in the ring until security broke them up. Nick Aldis was out there and warned the two, but Rhodes broke free and went after Fatu.

* Cody Rhodes vs. Jacob Fatu was announced for Saturday Night’s Main Event.

* Fatal Four-Way Qualifying Match: Damian Priest def. Solo Sikoa. The MFTs got involved with the match and helped Sikoa get close to a win. However, the lights went out and the Wyatt Sick appeared on the announce table with Priest and Sikoa down. The Wyatts fought the MFTs into the crowd and Solo went after Howdy. Priest grabbed Sikoa and hit South of Heaven for the pinfall. Howdy briefly got the lantern back after the match but Talla Tonga hit him with a boot and Sikoa got the lantern back.

* Sami Zayn was backstage walking when he was stopped by Drew McIntyre, who bragged about winning the title. Zayn said that part of him wanted McIntyre to win and now he’s going to beat Ilja Dragunov, win the #1 Contenders match in his hometown, then face McIntyre at the Rumble. McIntyre said he’s beaten Zayn 11 times and Zayn has never beat him, and nothing will change if they face off at the Rumble.

* WWE United States Championship Open Challenge: Carmelo Hayes def. Leon Slater.

The two went back and forth with high-flying moves. The finish saw Slater go for a superplex, but Hayes countered into a cutter off the top for the pinfall.

* Tama Tonga confronted Shinsuke Nakamura, who was watching the US Title match in the back. Tama said Nakamura blew his chance and that the US Championship will be his. He said that they go way back and warned Nakamura to stay out of his way. Nakamura responded in Japanese and walked away.

* Johnny Gargano and Candice LeRae were backstage talking about how they got one over on Axiom and Nathan Frazer last week. Axiom showed up and demanded his mask back. Gargano said he gave it to LeRae. Frazer came up behind Gargano in an Axiom mask and laid him out, saying they are wrestling next week.

* A video tease for Oba Femi played.

* Jordynne Grace def. Chelsea Green. Jade Cargill was at ringside for the match. Grace picked up the win with the torture rack into a powerbomb. Post-match, Grace got on the mic and said she was glad Cargill came out to watch and said she’s coming for her. She said Cargill is babysitting the title and should face her now. Cargill got on the apron and Green attacked Grace, but Grace moved and Green knocked Cargill to the floor. Grace held the title and threw it over to Cargill.

* Trick Williams was interviewed by Cathy Kelley. He said he’s money and congratulated Randy Orton and Damian Priest on their wins, noting that they will face the future at Saturday Night’s Main Event. Priest walked up and said Williams likes to talk and he doesn’t, noting that they’re both free next Friday and he plans to whoop that trick.

* Fatal Four-Way Qualifying Match: Sami Zayn def. Ilja Dragunov. Zayn hit an Exploder suplex into the turnbuckle, then the Helluva Kick for thew win. Trick Williams attacked Zayn after the match.
