Smackdown Results
04/12/2024
[Dramatic music plays as the camera pans the packed arena.]
Welcome, ladies and gentlemen, to the return of Friday Night SmackDown! We are live tonight and the energy in this building is electric!
[Camera cuts to the commentary booth, where Pat McAfee and Jerry “The King” Lawler are seated.]
McAfee: Wow, what a night this is going to be, King! After months off the air, SmackDown is back and ready to make its mark. There have been so many changes in the WWE universe, I can barely keep up. For example, I am full time on commentary now!
Lawler: That’s for sure, Pat. Just this past week, we learned that the legendary Mick Foley has been promoted to Commissioner of both the WWE and NXT brands. And the relationship between CEO Murrey, CCO Miss Elizabeth, and the folks at Endeavor seems to be stronger than ever. A new era is upon us!
[Fade to commercial.]
EUROPEAN END
[Camera cuts to an office setting. CEO Murrey is seated behind a large desk, looking stern. Miss Elizabeth is standing beside him.]
Murrey: Thank you all for coming. I’ve called this meeting because I have some important decisions to announce regarding the future direction of WWE.
Murrey: Thank you all for coming. I’ve called this meeting because I have some important decisions to announce regarding the future direction of WWE.
[Murrey pauses and looks down at some papers on his desk.]
First and foremost, effective immediately, the European Championship is being retired. This title has a storied history, but it no longer fits the vision I have for this company moving forward.
[Murrey looks up and makes direct eye contact with the camera.]
And I’m particularly disappointed in Gunther. He has failed to elevate that title to the level of prestige it once held. I simply don’t see a bright future for him in WWE.
Murrey: I’m done with Murrey’s Misfits. In fact, effective immediately, Ryback has been terminated from his contract with WWE.
[Murrey stands up from his desk and approaches the camera.]
The changes we’re making are all part of ushering in a new era for this company. The European title is history, and Murrey’s Misfits are finished. We’re going to move WWE forward in a bold new direction. You’d all better be ready, because the future is coming, and it’s going to be a wild ride.
[Murrey nods to Miss Elizabeth, who steps forward.]
Miss Elizabeth: As much as it has disheartened Mr. Murrey that his prize fighter, Jesse Ventura lost at NXT Stand and Deliver, we have come to a mutual agreement that Brock Anderson will be moved up to the main roster! That’s all for now. Thank you all for your time.
[Fade to black.]
[The arena is electric as the familiar theme of The Bloodline hits. Solo Sikoa makes his way to the ring.

Solo Sikoa vs Drew McIntyre

[The two men lock up in the center of the ring. McIntyre quickly gains the advantage with his power and size, but Solo counters with some crafty technical wrestling. The match builds in intensity.]
[Suddenly, The Rock’s iconic theme music hits! The Great One emerges from the backstage area and starts making his way down to the ringside area.]
McAfee: Oh my god, it’s The Rock! What is he doing here?!
Lawler: The Brahma Bull is coming down to the ring, this can’t be good for Drew McIntyre!
[The Rock slides into the ring and immediately starts brawling with McIntyre, distracting him. Solo Sikoa sees his opportunity and delivers a devastating Samoan Spike to Drew’s neck.]

McAfee: The Rock has brought the Bloodline to WWE! This is a shocking development on the return of SmackDown!

Winner: Solo Sikoa

Doc Brown (adjusting his glasses): Yes, yes, that’s right! We are here to usher in a new era of sports entertainment. No more of this “New Day” nonsense. It’s time for the “New Way” – the Doc Brown Way!
[Suddenly, the music of The New Day hits, and Big E and Kofi Kingston come charging down the hallway, ready for a fight.]
Big E: Hold up, hold up, hold up! Who in the blue hell do you think you are, calling yourselves “The Doc Brown Six”?!
Kofi: Yeah, man, this is our house! You’re not gonna come in here and start talking about some “New Way” or whatever. The power of positivity is eternal!
Doc Brown (panicked): Oh no, oh no, this is heavy! Men, it’s time to put our plan into action! Go, go, go!
[The Doc Brown Six immediately attack Big E and Kofi, laying them out with a barrage of strikes. Doc Brown watches on, cackling maniacally.]

Dawkins (fired up): Let’s go, Street Profits! Time to get these Vikings outta here!
[Dawkins unleashes a barrage of strikes and power moves on Erik, but The Viking Raider battles back. Ivar tags in and the two Vikings overwhelm Dawkins with their sheer size and strength.]
McAfee: The Viking Raiders are just dominating right now! Ivar and Erik are firing on all cylinders.
[Just as it looks like The Street Profits are about to be finished, Montez Ford comes flying off the top rope with a huge frog splash, taking both Vikings down!]
Lawler: Whoa, what a move by Montez Ford! The Street Profits still have life in this match!
[The action spills to the outside as all four men brawl. In the end, after a hard-fought battle, Erik and Ivar hit their Viking Experience finisher on Dawkins to retain the WWE Tag Team Championships.]
