Smackdown Results
November 1, 2024
Cold Open
The show opens in a dimly lit hospital room, where we see Dave Mathews lying in a hospital bed, hooked up to monitors and breathing through an oxygen mask. His longtime friend Rob Van Dam is at his bedside, looking concerned yet determined. He’s holding a small joint between his fingers, glancing around to make sure no doctors or nurses are nearby.
RVD: (whispering) “Alright, Dave… I’m not a doctor, but I’m pretty sure this is gonna work. You just need the right kind of medicine, man.”
RVD carefully lifts the oxygen mask slightly, leans forward, and begins exhaling a cloud of weed smoke into it. The hospital monitors start flickering wildly. Suddenly, Dave’s eyes snap open.
Dave Mathews: (coughing) “What… what is that smell?! Am I… am I back at Coachella?”
RVD: (grinning) “You’re back, bro! And just in time for Smackdown! Figured I’d bring you back the way you’d want.”
Dave sits up, looking around the room in disbelief.
Dave Mathews: “Last thing I remember, I was dreaming about… hurricanes? And now you’re here, blowing smoke into my face?”
RVD: “Technically, it’s ‘medicinal therapy.’ Helps the chakras realign, or so I heard once… somewhere.”
The door flies open, and in walks CEO Jeff Murrey, visibly relieved but also suspiciously amused.
CEO Murrey: “Dave! You’re awake! RVD, I don’t even want to know how this happened, but welcome back, man!”
Dave Mathews: (grinning) “Guess I’ll be ready for any kind of storm now. But seriously, where’s the Smackdown action? I need to catch up on all the chaos.”
RVD: “Bro, you haven’t missed a thing. You just saved Smackdown’s ratings without even lifting a finger!”
The three of them laugh as RVD hands Dave a ‘Get Well Soon’ balloon shaped like a giant joint. The scene fades as they head toward the arena, Dave wobbly but ready for the show.
[Camera pans to the Smackdown crowd cheering as the commentators get ready to kick off the night.]
Jey Uso vs. Drew McIntyre
The crowd is electric as Jey Uso steps into the ring, ready to face off against Drew McIntyre. Drew, with his fierce glare and intimidating presence, looks more than prepared to go to battle. The bell rings, and the two lock up, each looking for the upper hand.
Round 1: Drew starts off with a series of powerful shoulder blocks and throws Jey around the ring, using his strength to dominate early on. Jey attempts to create distance, ducking a clothesline and hitting a quick superkick to Drew’s knee, bringing the big man down to size. The crowd roars as Jey follows up with a flurry of punches, backing Drew into the corner.
Round 2: Drew counters, nailing Jey with a Glasgow Kiss headbutt that sends him sprawling. Drew seizes the momentum, hoisting Jey up for a vertical suplex, holding him in the air for a moment before crashing him down. He goes for the cover, but Jey kicks out at two. Drew doesn’t relent, picking up Jey and attempting the Future Shock DDT, but Jey slips out, hitting a jawbreaker that stuns McIntyre.
Final Moments: As the match wears on, Jey builds momentum, rallying the crowd behind him. He dodges a Claymore attempt, causing Drew to crash into the ropes. Jey seizes the opportunity, hitting a series of superkicks that stagger Drew. Finally, Jey climbs to the top rope, signaling to the crowd before launching himself off with a perfect Uso Splash. He covers Drew, and the referee counts – one, two, three!
Winner: Jey Uso
The crowd erupts as Jey stands victorious, catching his breath while celebrating his hard-fought win. But before he can leave, “If You Smell…” echoes through the arena, signaling the arrival of The Bloodline – The Rock, Solo Sikoa, and Jimmy Uso. The three make their way to the ring, with Rock taking the lead. The atmosphere shifts as the three surround Jey, and he tenses, unsure of what’s coming.
The Rock: (microphone in hand) “Jey… You’ve proven tonight that you’re one of the best this business has to offer. But we all know, family is stronger than any one man on his own. So here’s the question, Uso…”
The Rock steps closer, face-to-face with Jey.
The Rock: “Are you ready to come home? Are you ready to rejoin The Bloodline, where you belong?”
Jimmy and Solo stand by, nodding in agreement, their eyes fixed on Jey, awaiting his response. Jey looks around, scanning the crowd as they chant, some cheering him to stay solo while others urge him to accept. He takes a deep breath, visibly torn.
Jey Uso: (holding the mic, pausing) “You know, Rock… you make a strong case.”
The tension builds as Jey glances back and forth between his former Bloodline members, seemingly weighing the offer. He doesn’t answer, but he lowers the microphone and locks eyes with each of them, showing he’s considering it. The Bloodline nod approvingly, sensing a shift.
The Rock extends a hand to Jey, but instead of accepting, Jey simply nods and steps back, leaving the ring without giving a definitive answer. The Bloodline watches him go, their expressions mixed with intrigue and confidence.
As Jey heads up the ramp, he turns back one last time, eyeing The Bloodline with an unreadable expression. The camera cuts back to The Rock, Solo, and Jimmy, who are all smiling knowingly, hinting that the story between them isn’t over yet.

Big E starts off strong, charging at Solo with a shoulder tackle that barely moves the big man. Solo smirks, clearly unfazed, and counters with a powerful right hand that Big E absorbs before dishing out his own.

The crowd pops as Big E signals for the Big Splash, bouncing off the ropes and crashing onto Solo. He covers Solo, but Solo powers out at two, shaking off the pain. Big E gets to his feet, attempting to lift Solo for the Big Ending, but Solo fights out with elbows to Big E’s head, forcing him to release his grip.
Final Moments: The match reaches a fever pitch as the two exchange hard-hitting moves. Solo surprises Big E with a Samoan Drop, but Big E kicks out again, refusing to give in. Frustrated, Solo sets Big E up in the corner, delivering another brutal hip attack before positioning him for the finishing blow. Solo lets out a primal yell, signaling for the Samoan Spike. Big E stumbles to his feet, dazed, and Solo strikes with the Samoan Spike, landing it perfectly. Big E collapses to the mat, and Solo hooks the leg for the pin – one, two, three!
Winner: Solo Sikoa
Solo stands victorious as his hand is raised, while Big E lies on the mat, still feeling the effects of the Samoan Spike. Solo stares down at Big E, his expression one of quiet intensity, showing the crowd why he’s a force to be reckoned with. The fans boo, but some can’t help but respect Solo’s display of power and resilience.

Backstage
Doc Brown is pacing back and forth in a dimly lit hallway, holding one of his famous magic elixir vials. He stares at it intensely, muttering to himself, his hands trembling slightly.
Doc Brown: (muttering) “Great Scott… just a drop of this, and I could potentially unlock a whole new dimension of power! Imagine the possibilities… the knowledge… the energy!”
Doc raises the vial, contemplating injecting himself, when suddenly a hand stops him. The camera pulls back to reveal Diamond Dallas Page, shaking his head with a bemused look.
DDP: “Whoa, whoa, Doc! Put that down, man! What are you trying to do, end up flying off into 2050 without a return ticket?”
Doc Brown: (startled) “Dallas! I-I didn’t see you there… It’s just… this is the elixir I’ve been working on! It could be revolutionary!”
DDP: (laughing) “Yeah, revolutionary in the ‘make-you-hallucinate-while-you-think-you’re-fighting-aliens’ kind of way! C’mon, Doc, this isn’t the answer.”
Doc looks torn, staring at the vial and then at DDP.
Doc Brown: “But Dallas, if I could just… if I could just see where it could take me! Think of the science, the breakthroughs!”
DDP: “Doc, listen to me.” (patting him on the back) “What you need isn’t in that vial. What you need… is a trip to the Accountability Crib!”
Doc blinks in confusion, looking at DDP as if he’s speaking in another language.
Doc Brown: “The… Accountability Crib? What, pray tell, is that?”
DDP: “It’s the place where we get our minds right! We’ll do some DDP Yoga, meditate, realign those crazy thoughts of yours. Trust me, after a session there, you won’t need any magic elixirs—just a little focus and some good ol’ positive energy.”
Doc hesitates, looking at the vial one last time before reluctantly handing it over to DDP.
Doc Brown: “I suppose there’s no harm in trying something… more grounded for a change.”
DDP: (grinning) “That’s the spirit, Doc! Trust me, once we’re done, you’ll feel like you’ve traveled to the future and the past, all in one session.”
DDP wraps an arm around Doc and guides him down the hallway as they head off to the Accountability Crib. Doc looks uncertain, but DDP gives him an encouraging pat on the back.
DDP: “Say it with me, Doc: ‘I am ready, I am willing, and I am able!’”
Doc Brown: (awkwardly) “Er… I am ready, I am willing, and… I am able?”
They both share a laugh as they disappear around the corner, leaving the vial safely in DDP’s pocket.

[Special Vignette: Bobby Lashley’s Journey to WWE Championship Glory]
The video opens with a black screen, slowly fading into footage of Bobby Lashley training in a dimly lit gym. The soundtrack is intense, a slow, pulsing beat underscoring his movements as he lifts weights, strikes a heavy bag, and powers through grueling cardio drills.
Narrator: “For some, strength is a choice. For Bobby Lashley, it’s a way of life.”
The scene cuts to a black-and-white clip of young Bobby, wearing a military uniform, his face determined and focused.
Narrator: “Before he was a warrior in the ring, Bobby was a soldier. A man of discipline, duty, and relentless drive. Serving his country in the U.S. Army taught him resilience, endurance, and the will to push beyond limits most people would never dare to test.”
We see footage of Lashley in combat training, as well as moments of him working alongside his fellow soldiers, sharing camaraderie and brotherhood.
Narrator: “But that was just the beginning. The battles in his life were only getting started.”

Narrator: “He rose to the top, proving to everyone that his strength wasn’t just in his muscles, but in his heart, his mind, and his relentless spirit.”

Bobby Lashley: “Every setback, every loss, every scar – it all built me into who I am today. I’m not chasing fame. I’m not chasing glory. I’m here for something that can’t be taken – respect. And I’m coming for the WWE Championship.”
As his words echo, we see footage of The Rock, holding the WWE Championship high, his energy magnetic and unbreakable. The image flickers, replaced by Lashley lifting weights with sheer intensity, as if envisioning the title in his hands.
Narrator: “Now, he faces his biggest challenge yet – the WWE Champion, The Rock. A legend, an icon, a mountain of a man. But mountains are meant to be climbed… and champions, to be conquered.”
The video cuts to an image of Lashley staring straight into the camera, his eyes filled with unbreakable focus.
Bobby Lashley: “I’ve been through it all. I’ve sacrificed it all. And I’m ready to do it again – to take everything The Rock has worked for, to prove that I am the one who deserves to be called champion.”
The final shot shows Lashley standing in a darkened ring, spotlighted, his head bowed before he lifts his eyes toward the camera with an intense, fierce expression.
Narrator: “Bobby Lashley: the soldier, the fighter, the powerhouse… the next WWE Champion?”
The screen fades to black with a final phrase in bold letters:
“Lashley vs. The Rock – The Quest for Greatness.”
