WWE SmackDown Results: Roman Reigns vs King Woods Ends in No Contest, Sasha Banks Returns

Ahead of Survivor Series scheduled on November 21, Friday’s night’s World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) SmackDown episode was headlined with a supremacy battle between universal champion Roman Reigns and Xavier Woods. Their match was the product of two weeks of build-up and Paul Heyman had earlier announced in the show that if Reigns couldn’t force Woods to bend the knee, and if he refused even in defeat, the universal champion could be stripped of the title.

The show also marked the return of Sasha Banks, two weeks after a vicious attack at the hands of Shotzi. Banks teamed up with Aliyah and Naomi against Shotzi Blackheart, Shayna Baszler and Natalya in a Six-Woman Tag Team match.

SmackDown women’s champion Charlotte Flair made an entrance to address her Survivor Series opponent Becky Lynch. Toni Storm interrupted her trash talk and issued a challenge for a match, which Flair refused to entertain.

Here is the recap from last night’s WWE Smackdown episode:

Roman Reigns vs Xavier Woods: In the main event of the show Reigns was willing to put his title on the line along with his career on SmackDown against King Woods.
